The first church burned in 1922 and the present edifice was dedicated in 1923.The two story brick school building was abandoned, perhaps in the thirties and more recently removed entirely.The Post Office was established June 17, 1884 and named Gerand. Name was changed to EGE on October 28, 1885. Post Office was discontinued Jan. 31, 1903. Postmasters as they were appointed included:
Serapin Girardot June 17, 1884

The Post Office was conducted in the store which stood on the Northwest corner of the intersection. The store has been closed for perhaps 30 years or more and now has been removed. Several new and modern homes are now locating in this vicinity (1978)
