    2. Nasonville A former settlement at the intersection of co trunk V and US hwy 10, at the common corner of sec 31 and 32, Lincoln Township and secs 5 and 6, Rock Township, where the Nasonville Community Church is located; also, formerly the surrounding rural community as far E as Klondike. The name now denotes a less extensive rural community in the vicinity of the Nasonville Community Church corner. The original settlement was named after Solomon L and William G Nason, early settlers in the area. Solomon L Nason owned a lumber mill and a general store there. The name is also misspelled "Masonville" on Blanch. 1869 and Cram 1869. Nasonville PO A PO established on Feb 14,1859, with Solomon L Nason as postmaster. It was at first kept in his home; since Solomon L Nason is shown as the owner of land in N sec 5, Rock Township, on Gayn.1878, and since the PO is located in N sec 5, Rock township, in Wall. 1876 it seems likely that between 1859 and 1876 the PO was kept at this location. Later, it was moved to Nason's stopping place for stagecoaches in SW sec 32 Lincoln Township; still later it was kept by the Rausch family, members of which owned land in N sec 4 Tock township where the PO may be assumed to have been located. It was discontinued on March 22, 1890, reestablished on June 20, 1899, with Edward C Eastman as postmaster, and discontinued again on June 4, 1900. Ultimately named for Solomon L Nason.
