Do you know of Gaskill ???

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

Our sources for Gaskill (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 Gaskill other than they indicate that Gaskill would be found somewhere in Barry County, Michigan.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1889 and closed  in 1903.
