In 1903, Gaynor had Thriving Storefront

Gaynor had a thriving storefront at one time. Founded in 1876 and named after Edward Gaynor, the blacksmith, several different businesses and a post office sprung up. By 1903, it was a thriving village, Stephen Corwin (blacksmith), Dr. B.F. Goodson (Druggist), and Wilson McClain (General Store). There were 25 people who lived there, and there were three churches -- Methodist, Christian, and Presbyterian. There was also a high school. At one point, there was a mail stagecoach that served Allison, Gaynor, and Orrsburg.
