Do you know of Cleaver ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Cleaver. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Cleaver.<1>

Our sources for Cleaver (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Cleaver other than they indicate that Cleaver would be found somewhere in Colbert County, Alabama.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1900 and closed  in 1912.
