Do you know of Ettie ???

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

Our sources for Ettie (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 Ettie other than they indicate that Ettie would be found somewhere in Tama County, Iowa.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1869 and closed  in 1873.
