Do you know of Bossard ???

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

Our sources for Bossard (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 Bossard other than they indicate that Bossard would be found somewhere in Sumter County, South Carolina.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1881 and closed  in 1902.
