Three different post offices are recorded for what is now called Dicey Community. The community’s name was originally “Clear Fork.” Amos W. Simmons, a charter member of Clear Fork Baptist Church, was named Postmaster of Clear Fork in 1860. 

​

On April 23, 1888, the post office was named Power Post Office. At that time, the community was also called Power, after Pastor J.C. Power. Power Post Office was discontinued on July 17, 1890. 

​

Dicey Puryear operated the general store for the community during the Civil War years, and some years later, the community was named Dicey Community in her honor. On March 26, 1891, Dicey Post Office opened and continued operating until July 31, 1929, when mail was diverted to Weatherford.

​

The post office was operated from a corner of the general store, and for many years, the store and post office were run by the postmaster. Lee W. Ragle served as postmaster for the Dicey Community beginning in 1925. After the Dicey mail route ended, the store continued to operate until the late 1930s or early 1940s. 

​

S. H. Puryear, an early member of the church and community, was a crop farmer who also raised livestock on his farm. The Dicey Cotton Gin was located on the Puryear homestead. The Dicey Community was a large producer of cotton, other crops, and livestock. 

​

The community operated a school from at least 1877. In 1877, M.H. Puryear taught 30 students at the school which was held at the original Clear Fork Baptist Church location. Dicey School operated until the 1950s when students were sent to Weatherford public schools. 

​

In the 1950s, Weatherford Lake was built in the Dicey Community when the City of Weatherford purchased 1200 acres and carved out Weatherford Lake to supply the city’s water needs. 

​

Since 1908, Clear Fork Baptist Church has hosted a Homecoming Service every June to celebrate the history and heritage of the pioneers who settled Dicey Community and founded Clear Fork Baptist Church. The Dicey Community is often described as “One Big Family,” with Clear Fork Baptist Church as the heart of the community.
