Do you know of Dee ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Dee. 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 Dee.<1>

Our sources for Dee (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 Dee other than they indicate that Dee would be found somewhere in Craighead County, Arkansas.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1882 and closed  in 1927.
