Another 4th class post office, this one moved to Homewood, which was and is a real town. The only thing at this spot on the topos and aerials is what looks like a church and is labelled "Acorn Community Hall" on the topos. It's 2.5 miles (4.0 km) from Homewood as the crow flies, or 3.5 miles (5.6 km) as the tractor drives. I can find nothing about this "hall" and it's clear this is just another non-notable place.

Comment Listed as an extinct town here https://legendsofkansas.com/franklin-county-extinct-towns/. 1877 is too far back for the local papers and there is nothing I can find. Would likely require local research to find enough sources. These wouldn't be considered widespread coverage though. Its an archeology site.James.folsom (talk) 05:58, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

DeleteNever will be enough sources to make an article that meets WP:N, and it's not presumed notable because it's not legally recognized.James.folsomRedirect renaming and sending it to Homewood, Kansas sounds great, per Jfire. (talk) 05:58, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
First rename to fix the typo in the title, then redirect to Homewood, Kansas per Rydjord, John (1972). Kansas place-names. Internet Archive. Norman, University of Oklahoma Press. ISBN 978-0-8061-0994-7. which states Homewood in Franklin County was first called Forest Home. Jfire (talk) 06:32, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
