Marie
Marie, in west central Runnels County on a county road just south of Farm Road 384, was named for the wife of Walter (Buck) Gentry, a local landowner, when a post office was established there in 1906. Walter C. Bass was the storekeeper and first postmaster. A school started at Marie in 1901 and closed in 1938; the post office was discontinued in 1941. Around 1940 Marie had a population of twenty and one store. In 2000 the population was twelve.
