Welcome back, friends of Olney History. The year is still 1892; Olney continues to advance into the future. The first hotel was built—The Linzy Hotel. Records show it was put up for sale in 1922 by F.A. Sutherlin. However, the records do not indicate if Sutherlin was the builder. Later in the year 1927, the Linzy burnt to the ground, according to the Young County portion of, “The TXGenWeb Project. The Linzy Hotel was a landmark in the Olney community and a place for all to engage in what would become legendary.

In my writing, he’s been one of my biggest cheerleaders, encouraging me to be bold in telling the truth. And he often texts me after I’ve written something, claiming that he learned from it or that it spoke to him in some way.
