flat land around it. In 1930 it had a population of fifteen and
two commercially rated businesses. By 1940 its population had
grown to fifty, and a school was located there. Between 1950 and
1960 the population was 100, but the last business had closed.
In 1980, 1990, and 2000 the population was eighty-five. The
