Do you know of Boxer ???

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

Our sources for Boxer (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 Boxer other than they indicate that Boxer would be found somewhere in Breathitt County, Kentucky.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1901 and closed  in 1907.
