With $900 in his pocket one would think he could have went further than Chautauqua Springs.

Where was Chautauqua Springs located??  This is a new ghost town that I haven't heard of before.

I think Chautauqua Springs may be the original name of the town of Chautauqua. The springs are/were located four miles east of Chautauqua.

Chautauqua Springs had a newspaper, Chautauqua Springs Spy. The Kansas State Historical Society lists it under Chautauqua which would seem to reinforce they were the same town.

Chautauqua is about a block off K-99 south of Sedan and US 160.

There is nothing left of the downtown area except for a still good looking empty bank building and a couple other structures. I have always thought the bank would make a good exterior for an early 20th century movie.

Chautauqua does have a post office.

What about Niotaze? Do they get their mail out of Sedan also?

Also, within the past few months, anyone in Howard wanting to mail a card or letter to someone else in Howard has their communication go to Independence that evening and then (hopefully) it is returned the next day to the proper box.

What happened  to cause that action?  How about Severy or Sedan? Does the same thing occur?

Under this routine, it would seem that there are no more US mail cancellations for Howard zip code 67349.
