Does not seem to have been a legally recognized populated place. Rennick says there was a post office here from 1903 to 1905, which given that that time frame was pre-rural free delivery, it was probably one of many short-lived 4th class post offices. He also states that it was where there was a crossroads store and a school in addition to the post office. Supposedly, the school is now the site of Hinks, Kentucky, but neither the topos nor GNIS seem to know of the existence of a Hinks, Kentucky. His index calls it a locale (geography), which by definition is not a legally recognized populated place. Topos show a very small collection of buildings at the crossroads, including a school. There are only two newspapers.com hits for "Red Cross" in Barren County, Kentucky papers, both from the 1940s - one reference to the school being part of a wartime scrap metal drive, and another for the major Red Cross organization. Gbooks hits are brief mentions of the school, a couple for a "Beckton-Red Cross Road", and one mention in a 1905 directory that just stated it had a post office and was near Rocky Hill, Barren County, Kentucky. I'm not convinced that having a post office for 3 years before RFD indicates a GEOLAND pass, and WP:GNG is not met. Hog Farm Bacon 03:12, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
