History
editIn 1909, a coal mine called the Wabash Mine was owned by the Wabash Coal Company of Cleveland, with 76 employees.[3] By 1915, the mine had been renamed the Netta Mine and had transferred ownership to the Netta Coal Company, also of Cleveland, with 84 employees working. The Wabash Railroad maintained a station in Parlett for loading the coal.[4] In 1921, there was a 300-ton steam shovel operating at the mine that had "been there for a considerable time", owned by the Wayne Coal Company.[5]
The Parlett Post Office was established on March 26, 1906 and discontinued on January 14, 1928. Mail service is now handled through the Cadiz branch.[6]
