Lakeland, Missouri

Lakeland is an unincorporated community in Shelby County, in the U.S. state of Missouri.[1]

History

A post office called Lakeland was established in 1857, and remained in operation until 1860.[2] It is unknown why the name "Lakeland" was applied to this community, as there were no known lakes near the original town site.[3]

gollark: Can I just `GC_unref` it when adding it to a tree, or something like that? Does that work for `--gc:orc`?
gollark: I don't think so?
gollark: I don't see why it would, it's a markdown parser.
gollark: One issue is that it needs to *not* free a node if it's just been attached to a tree, but the GC presumably doesn't know about that.
gollark: I'm not sure how it would be an issue. Antiviruses can't just block all code written in Nim.
