Ph001,
Do you pronounce that Foo or pH, as in chemistry ? Either way welcome to the forum !
Did a Google search using "Lakenon, Hill County, Texas,"as the search term and here's the most descriptive of the eight hits returned:

Hope this helps. You might try searching for historical societies or Chambers of Commerce in Hill County, since the hit infers that the town has died. Also, a KATY fan site might have some info. And, if you go to a site that offers historical Coast and Geodetic Survey quadrangle maps, such as Maptech:

you might get lucky enough to find tracks.
