State historical society calls it a "trading point". A very informative book by Ramsay exists for Missouri place names at [1], but he does not mention this town. Not on the 1886 topo, but it may not have existed then. 1950s topo shows five buildings, in the present day (via Google maps) there's two or three houses and a bunch of agricultural outbuildings. Only coverage hits I'm finding are in GNIS mirrors and an WP:SPS family history book on Google Books. Someone with newspapers.com access (not me) might be able to turn up something, but I'm not seeing a legally recognized populated place that would pass WP:GEOLAND, nor the coverage to pass WP:GNG.

Delete No evidence that it meets even minimal definition of a community and nothing suggests that it meets basic Wiki notability thresholds. Glendoremus (talk) 03:44, 23 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep community once was an active rural trading point with residents, per historical society source. If the community largely has died out, add "Little remains of the original site" rather than deleting.72.49.7.25 (talk) 04:07, 24 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails WP:GEOLAND. Google search yields nothing. Google maps yields some intersecting bits of highway. KidAd talk 04:17, 24 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
