This one is quite a mess, first of all because whoever entered this into GNIS put in the location of the label for Mercer Township instead of that of the actual "town" location on the topos, which is a little to the east. Second, the Iowa Ghost Towns citation doesn't mention this Mercer; this is a Mercer in Sac County, but not, apparently in Adams County, and therefore the claims about a post office cannot be substantiated from there. What the topos and aerials show at the crossroads is a typical collection of farms, some of which disappear over the years, and a church which I cannot find anything out about. If nothing else, this needs to give way to the Sac County spot, if it be notable (which I do not think is the case), but I just cannot see an article on this dubious place.
