History

Alone was named by J.C. Withers and had a post office established on November 30, 1880.[2] D.J. Anderson was postmaster in 1887.[3]

In 1892, The Beachville Lodge No. 619 of the Masons met at the post office every Saturday of each month.[4]

From July 1, 1914, to July 1, 1917, Alone was supplied with a traveling library.[5][6]
