Can anyone help with this? (see below letter) I have a record that shows a postoffice was established at a location called "Cameron" on October 3, 1883, discontinued October 29, 1885, mail sent to Texarkana, reestablished November 3, 1886, discontinued June 14, 1887, changed to "Genoa".... Then on the "Genoa" information it says: Established June 14, 1887, discontinued September 21, 1897, (Late Cameron, papers to Edson), reestablished March 23, 1898. SO.. from this I assume "Genoa" was called "Cameron" until the date June 14, 1887. Is this correct? Does anyone know the reason for the name change? Was it the exact same land, or was the Postoffice just changed to a new location? And does anyone know where the community "Edson" was?

On the April 12, 1886 article there was mention of Cameron Station. My great grandparents were from Cameron in Miller County and as of yet I have not been able to find out where this was. I have a copy of the post office book and it says Cameron had a post office until 1887 and then it was changed to Genoa. I am not sure that Cameron was changed to Genoa or that the mail was forwarded to Genoa. I would be very interested and thankful if you could help me with this. He was George Walding and she was Alice Smith. I know he was originally from Iowa and I think I know she had a brother named John Smith. I would really like to know where Cameron was located and if there are any old maps to your knowledge of that area and where I could find one. Will appreciate any help you can give me.
