Actually, it is in Bell County, though you are correct that it is near
Seaton. I was out that way a couple of years ago when photographing Dyess
and Dyess Grove Cemeteries. Really not any town left from what I could see,
just a locale. Dyess Grove Church was stil there next to the cemetery and
was definitely still in use. Here's a photo of the church:

This also provides a little information on the community:

I found a Stringtown just across the county line east of Heidenheimer, and a
little south of Highway 53 near Seaton. String was probably short for
Stringtown. I have not found it on a map, but it's on my DeLorme Atlas
program.
