ATKINSONVILLE

The little village of Atkinsonville is located in sections 21 and 22 and dates its origin from March 1850. The plat contains a fraction over fifteen acres and is divided into six blocks of eight lots each. The place is a mere hamlet of a few houses and two stores, these were kept in the late 1880's by Chaney & Son and Daniel Quarry. At different times, the following merchants sold goods in the village; William and James Connolly, William G. Gibson, Mr. Schrier and William Lockhart.

The current day Atkinsonville can pretty much be summed up by "See that crossroads?"

Well, you just saw Atkinsonville, there is little there now except cornfields and a road.
