Do you know of Eloise ???

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

Our sources for Eloise (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 Eloise other than they indicate that Eloise would be found somewhere in Wayne County, West Virginia.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1901 and closed  in 1908.
