History

"The village was named from the following incident: When Mr. Wilder first located there it had been raining for two weeks, and the sun had not made its appearance during all that time, but the next day, the sun made its appearance and from this the locality was named "Rising Sun."[3]

A post office was established in Rising Sun on March 14, 1856 with Truman H. Wilder as postmaster. It was located in the NW quarter of the SW quarter of Section 22, Township 11N, Range 5W. It was discontinued April 20, 1904, and patrons subsequently received mail from the post office at Ferryville.[4]

gollark: The Random Stuff API also connects to *this*, for reasons (it used to do more with this, but that got split out into ircsysmon), and broadcasts the current track into a dedicated #o channel also bridged to the Test 2 Discord guild, which a bunch of my stuff runs in.
gollark: Onto the other bits of the diagram. ngircd is an IRC server, and the osmarks.net instance of this participates in APIONET.
gollark: It was actually on caddy for quite a while, but v2 annoyed me, so I went back to nginx.
gollark: I have about 500 lines of horribly entangled configuration files driving this, despite the original design of osmarks.net (formerly osmarks.tk) calling for it to mostly be a static website.
gollark: Now, the diagram says "nginx". Nginx is also an important part of this setup. It is a reverse proxy allowing me to run all this slightly crazy stuff on one IP, and encrypt with "HTTPS" apiotechnology.
