State historic society mentions a short-lived post office, but doesn't call it a community, although this article does call it a community based on that source. Too late of a foundation for the 1886 topo, but it's not on the 1939 topo. 1991 topo is a no-go, too. It suddenly appears on the 2011 topo, which is once things get copied from GNIS. By the 2017 topo, it's gone again. Google Maps doesn't take me to an exact spot, but gives me a zoomed out view of several miles worth of farmland and woods. All of the Google books hits seem to be for the Missouri campuses of Graceland University or various unrelated cemeteries in other parts of the state. While the SHS source doesn't explicitly state this was only a fourth-class post office eliminated by rural free delivery, the combined evidence of other sources strongly suggests this was not a community in the sense that it would pass WP:GEOLAND.

- Delete per nom. Nothing shows this to have been more than the name of a post office location. BD2412 T 01:39, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
