According to Kansas Post Offices by Robert W. Baughman, Dallas existed from 04 Sep 1879 to 04 Nov 1885. The first postmaster was Ira S. Hall and the name was changed to Oronoque. Oronoque existed until 1934. (more info on Oronoque later, as I'm attempting to research these places in alphabetical order) I don't have any information on where Dallas was located, or why it was named Dallas. But it must have been somewhere near Oronoque, 8 miles west of Norton. "Seventy Years in Norton County" by D. N. Bowers also makes a reference to a Slater PostOffice in this area. "There was an attempt to establish a postoffice, known as the Slater PostOffice, one and one-half miles east of Oronoque. This was discontinued when the town of Oronoque was established." "The History of the Early Settlement of Norton County, Kansas" by F. M. Lockard says there was a Church of God, or Winebrennerians organized at Dallas in the early 80's by Elder Forncrook, but since 1890 had been without a regular minister. [Winebrennerians are members of a German sect which was founded by John Winebrenner of Pennsylvania. See http://www.mun.ca/rels/restmov/texts/believers/gossardjwfrb/JWFRB.HTM for more information about him personally and his doctrine. There are some similarities with the Dunkard faith. If anyone has information about Dallas, please let us all know. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ According to Kansas Post Offices by Robert W. Baughman, David existed from 16 May 1887 and was discontinued 15 May 1889. The first postmaster was David N. Reed. This one really baffles me - I find no references whatsoever to David (location) or David N. Reed. ANY clues would be welcome!
