Another "ghost" town, i.e., a cemetery which was probably not the actual location of the eponymous post office. I've nominated it along with the following:

... because they are the same "place", even though they are somewhat over 2 miles (3.2 km) from each other. But they are the "same" post office, which is to say, it's another case of a 4th class PO moved from one place to another. Both deleted from GNIS, no "there" (except a lot of dead people), not settlements. Mangoe (talk) 21:49, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The Ottawa Herald states that Garlington is one of the little post offices in franklin county, and implies the community name may have been Pomona. It is just a post office not a place. The Ottawa Herald, 14 Aug 1961, Mon ·Page 8. in the obit of Charles Steele. https://www-newspapers-com.wikipedialibrary.idm.oclc.org/image/402890/?terms=garlington%20post%20office&match=1&article=ea3f687f-6dba-47b7-8615-54b6e2de4ef8 James.folsom (talk) 23:26, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Pleasant hill is mentioned many times without a state name in the local papers for Ottawa Kansas. Many turn out to be in Missouri.James.folsom (talk) 23:26, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Uncle G provided the following information in a previous discussion. Garlington is named as a village in Gannett 1898, p. 93, though it "only gives gazetteer details". Pleasant Hill: Pleasant Hill is a hamlet; Blackmar 1912, p. 482 "gives a few facts". I previously incorrectly nominated to delete both articles.
