Imo/Atlas Post Office

Surnames: Suggs
None of the official records seem to list "Imo post office" in Searcy County. Can anyone give me any help on this. According to my grandfather there was a postmaster named Hollaway, then Luther Phillips who was the nephew of Hollaway. Luther was there in the late 1920's. Later Albert Suggs became the postmaster. Can anyone tell me what the official name was for this post office.

The Imo post office was located about one mile from the Welcome Home school house on Hwy 27. The post office was orginally named Atlas but there was another Atlas post office in Arkansas so the government sent word for them to change the name of the post office because the mail was getting mixed up. Luther Phillips, who was the postmaster at the time, had a niece named Imogene and he called the post office Imo after her.
