According to GNIS, it is just west of Danville, and just south of highway 58. Can't tell if its now a suburb, or just a spot in the road. I had no luck at the FHL in Salt Lake City (only one county history, and no mention of the town!), or with any volunteers on USGenWeb. I'm particularly interested in the origin of the name, hopefully named for an individual related to one of my ancestors. No doubt a very unusual and uncommon name. >Please respond privately to< foffer@jcave.com Thanks. Chris Hankins
