Baty
  Baty's original proposed name was Arno, but for some reason that was changed
to Baty. Apparently the later application survives at the National Archives and
sets the second attempt to make the post office on Jan 23, 1901.  Baty appears 
on a 1919 Corp of Engineers map for the Mexia quadarant. Baty was south of Teague 
along the Trinity and Brazos Valley Railroad line. The closest community was the 
community of Beene to the south.
    Mills was 3 miles northeast of Baty. Beene was 3 miles southwest. Luna was 4
miles east.  The area was drained by the Cedar creek and Baty was a mile east of 
the creek.
