Do you know of Blythe ???

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

Our sources for Blythe (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 Blythe other than they indicate that Blythe would be found somewhere in DeSoto County, Mississippi.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1885 and closed  in 1903.
