History of Eunice
|
June 24, 1878, a Post Office was established in a
dug-out along the Hutchinson-Medicine Lodge
Trail. It was on land owned by Mr. and Mrs. Kelly,
and it was named for Mrs. Kelly, whose name was
Eunice. She was the mother of May (Kelly) Long
and Vivian (Kelly) Harner. The land is presently
owned by Clarence Belcher. The site was near the
present Belcher home in Section 11 of White Township,
one and a fourth miles west of Varner. The Post Office
closed, May 29, 1881, after a short existence.
