History
on a Pinhead According
to legend, the community was named after a storekeeper’s daughter (Lucille Custer).
The community appeared in the 1890s and its post office was granted in 1896.
The
community’s mail was briefly rerouted through nearby New
Sweden after a brief closure of the post office in 1899 but after 1902, Manor
took over delivery and the Cele office closed for good.
Earlier population
figures aren’t available, but the hamlet reported 25 residents from the 30s through
the 60s. |
