Previously Zoar.
"This is a discontinued postoffice which was located near the center of the county. The postoffice was first in the farmhouse of a Mr Tschappler. It was first named Zoar for Zoar Church nearby. The mail was frequently missent to Zoar so Mr Tschappler was allowed to choose a new name for the postoffice. He named it for his daughter, Manda. By 1938 it no longer existed". (8) |

Marais
(meaning marsh or swamp in french) was an early post office with Jesse
Boone the first post master in 1839.
This name was also used for the present Maries Rivers. I believe this to be the original name, but several old maps list the rivers as Marie or Mary's. This is probably due to the habit of spelling french names in english the way they sound. The spelling of Mavais is probably due to mistaking the r for a v.
