 | This article may need to be rewritten to comply with Wikipedia's quality standards, as this is GNIS "community" codswallop. Baker 1995, p. 256 clearly says that this was a village, and that its post office closed in 1908, merely moving counties in 1841. The Muncie History and the Hendricks Biographical both call it a town, with Paris Crossing on the O&M. (February 2025) |
