As stated in the lead, this appears to be a ghost town. There is a source saying there was a post office that closed in 1870. Otherwise, I can't find any evidence of this town existing.

 * Pleasant Hill, Kansas:Hamlet, per which gives a few facts.

 * Bowling Green, Kansas:Documented rural post office. It's in .  The source does not state that it is anything more than a post office.
 * Shermansville, Kansas:Documented rural post office. It's in .  The source does not state that it is anything more than a post office.
 * Coburn, Kansas: Foster Dwight Coburn is notable. But this is a largely undocumented claimed rural post office.  Zero sources found indicating any sort of population centre, or a connection to Foster Dwight.
 * Hackett, Kansas:Largely undocumented claimed rural post office. Zero sources found indicating any sort of population centre.  Reuben Hackett is notable.  This is not the site of the Hackett farm, however.
 * Dennison, Kansas:Largely undocumented claimed rural post office. Zero sources found indicating any sort of population centre.  The Woodlief post office synthesis is not supported by the source in the article, and I've found no connection to the probably notable William H. Woodlief whom I found biographies of in two history books from two different centuries.
 * McCandless, Kansas:Largely undocumented claimed rural post office. Zero sources found indicating any sort of population centre.
 * Forrest Home, Kansas:Largely undocumented claimed rural post office. Zero sources found indicating any sort of population centre.

 * Delete Bowling Green. The only remaining source states it was a postal site for less than two years, and my research has been fruitless. No evidence of a community here.
 * The remaining places "bundled" here probably shouldn't be bundled, as the Wikipedia community has previously rejected mass-bundling of geographical sites at AFD. Firsfron of Ronchester  22:43, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
