This one appears to have been an old 4th-class post office, not a community. Ramsay states Adel is a country post office, located in the northwestern part of Mercer County. No information could be found about this name Newspapers.com brings up a reference to the postmaster resigning and being replaced, but searching is cluttered by references to Adel, Iowa and a word in German. Not in an 1877 county history, despite apparently having a post office in 1874. The GNIS entry is sourced to something titled the "New World War Chart" from 1919; small-scale topos do not show this name. While I can find quite a bit about the place in Iowa, and a few references to a location in Utah, the Missouri one isn't looking like its notable. Hog Farm Talk 04:47, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
