Avery Byron, if I remember correctly, was one of the postmasters at the Pleasant Grove Post Office. According to the old postoffice microfilm, this postoffice was once located near the Cotham/Gilliam Cemetery area. These early postoffices often changed locations within the communities, but it was once southeast of what we know as Pleasant Grove and closer to the Cotham School House area. Therefore, I would not necessarily think that Rainbow was anywhere near there. The backroads from the old Paradise Community on the northern end of Long Prairie, the first of which is the Paradise Rd., which runs east to Commento, has a gravel road off to the left that goes north to Enon and comes out at the church. I've come through there many times, and there is a settlement , which is now defunct, but I've never heard it called Rainbow. Now , I could be wrong, but I have my doubts about Rainbow's being between Enon and the Prairie. I'll try to contact some of the Old Timers. I just called Mr. Cecil Bordeaux of Enon and in his 80's, and he said the community that I was thinking about was the Deane Community. Also, he had never heard of Rainbow. I tried to contact Mr. Ellis Gilliam, but he was not home. Still, I've been wrong before, and I could very well be wrong now. Beth Thurman or Terri Wolfe Monticello, AR 367-2701
