COMMENTS: Had 47 people in 1900; most moved to nearby towns after the post office was closed in 1902.
REMAINS: I haven't checked, but the church/cemetery is still there. I want to go see what's left when I visit my relatives at the cemetery.

Post office established 1878. Welsh Calvinist Methodist Church built 1884. The town and post office abandoned/closed 1902. Church and cemetery remain. Cemetery in current use.
