Not too much in LaMoille even today. UP double tracked RR passes just south
of it. There is a church.

Sounds like you've gotten out and about, and remembered it. I wonder
if the store is still standing. I didn't find a population for it.

counts, so there is no population information for this community."

Interesting photo, drek. That area is open land now.
