Do you know of Kurtz ???

Our sources for Kurtz (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 Kurtz other than they indicate that Kurtz would be found somewhere in Morton County, North Dakota.
From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened in 1888 and closed in 1890.
