Graysville
About 1850 Lafayette Stewart established a store four miles from Merom on the State Road. He also procured a post-office for this vicinity, and he became Postmaster and delivered the mail at this store. Joseph Gray, Sr., was the owner of the land in this vicinity and was probably owner of the store. He was also proprietor of a woolen mill near by, and for these reasons the post-office was named Graysville. The village has never been incorporated. During the seventies it had a population of about 100. Robert Carrithers was the merchant at the time. At an earlier date more than one store was kept at a time. The physicians of thirty years ago were A. N. and S. D. Weir and Arbaces Cushman.
Graysville has always been a religious center. the Methodists built a church there during the fifties, and the Presbyterians were established there over thirty years ago. The Presbyterian Church was dedicated December 10, 1871, by Rev. J. P. Fox of Carlisle.
