The location of Kern, Kirtley & Herr, site of "a century-old tradition of manufacturing and selling feeds for numerous species of farm animals and pets." This is a rail spot; the siding has been severed, but its position next to the tracks remains the same as the complex has mutated and expanded across the road, the only significant structures back into the early 1950s. There's no sign there was ever a town around it. Mangoe (talk) 17:41, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This May be just an area of land named after the Historic Herr Cabin.

Delete per nominator and James.folsom. Scanning back through old maps of Perry Township, I don't see that it was a named site at all until sometime in the mid-20th century. The earliest I found was a county map from 1969, which shows land around it being owned by the Herr family. Even local histories that list villages and post offices don't mention it, so this seems safe to delete. ╠╣uw [talk] 11:30, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
