There is no hospital there. In the early 1900s it had as many as three grocery stores at one time as well as a grain elevator, railroad station, a church, and several other businesses but to my knowledge has never had more than a hundred people. It is located right on the Knox county line and some records for Rapatee people will be in Fulton County. Hope this helps. Clint Cannon
