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. |
