Do you know of Shiel ???

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

Our sources for Shiel (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 Shiel other than they indicate that Shiel would be found somewhere in Ralls County, Missouri.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1898 and closed  in 1910.
