I found these two towns while I was searching Summer County Kansas. I was unable to find any information on the towns, it seems no one has any information on them, even Summer county History has noting that I could find. I was however able to find some names of men who lived near the towns and once again I could very little on them. I know there will be people looking into these lines, so any little information I can give will be a help to them.
I have posted the links to the towns, these maps will not only show the town but the owners of the land around the town. These maps will be interesting to those looking for something on these town. If any one has information on any of the surnames or the towns I would like to hear about them, I will be glad to post the information.
