Handy is a ghost town in Bloom Township, Osborne County, Kansas, United States.[1]
History[edit]
Handy was never a ghost town by any stretch of the imagination, but it was a rural post office in a farmhouse - nothing more. Handy was organized as a post office in 1882. The post office was discontinued in 1889.[2]
