in 1875, the community had a school and church both built out of hand-split logs, and filled with furniture handmade from logs. h. c. abrams was the school teacher and he was paid $50 a month. with the growth of nearby la vernia, adkins, and lone oak, and after being bypassed by the railroad and major highways the community declined. all that remains now on the site of the settlement is the doseido colony cemetery, which is partially overgrown by brush, and has many marked and unmarked graves.
