Nameless

This was a rural post office established June 21, 19009 with Dora Isabelle Olive Stroud, the wife of of legendary rancher, Robert Stroud (1816-1931), as pm. It was located in NW1/4 Sec. 26-151-103, Sioux Twp., five miles east of Cartwright.  Mr. Stroud named it for his former home of Nameless, TX, which had been given this rather humorous name after postal officials had rejected six other suggested names.  Nameless, TX had a post office 1880-1890. The Nameless, ND post office closed August 31,1916 with mail to Cartwright, but the Nameless Cecetery still exists in SW 1/4 Sec. 26-151-103.
