Berryman, Iron County, Missouri

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Another instance where GNIS is sourced to Ramsay, but Ramsay doesn't describe the location as a town. In this case, we have a rail switch for Mr. Berryman's sawmill and a short-lived 1880s post office. Newspapers.com results in Iron County bring up a passing mention to the Berryman School from 1904, as well as one passing mention to a Berryman baseball team. I found a few short mentions of a Berryman mill, but as that mill was suppose to be just outside of Arcadia, which is about 10 miles from this site, so there may have been two mills. Topos go back to 1926 and show a point on the railroad between Glover and Chloride with nothing there. Searching is a little difficult, because Berryman, Missouri is something different altogether. I'm not seeing any indications of this being a notable place. Hog Farm Talk 19:04, 3 June 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete. A Google Maps search between Glover and Chloride only shows the Glover Facility (whatever the hell that is) and what appear to be three or four buildings within a cleared plot of land on Swaringim Road (no Street View there, unfortunately) that might be proof of Berryman's existence (these sort of look like remnants of buildings), though these could just be something unrelated, since they're somewhat close to the Glover Facility and look rather small to be houses, a post office, a school, and/or a mill; plus, even if they were all houses, that's just three very small houses between two actual settlements, which doesn't sound like a "town" to me. It does sound like there used to be some form of settlement here, but it clearly doesn't exist anymore, and it isn't notable enough to have an article like ghost towns.
 * Also, unrelated question, Hog Farm: this is interesting stuff, how do you get this information? Like, the topography and all this stuff about what might've been there. Neat stuff, I wanna look at old maps and records. AdoTang (talk) 00:31, 4 June 2021 (UTC)
 * - You can freely access old maps from the United States Geological Survey at ; you'll just need the coordinates of the site to plug in. Hog Farm Talk 02:29, 4 June 2021 (UTC)
