Do you know of My ???

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

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

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1897 and closed  in 1903.

Miscellaneous References and Mentions for My ...

We've created the following list to keep track of the sources that proved useful in adding to our knowledge about My:

Found in a comprehensive list of Post Offices that was created by Cameron Blevins and Richard Helbock.<2>
