Quenemo
The Post Office in Quenemo.
Quenemo (pop. 468) is in Osage County.
Not sure what this was.
If you Google Quenemo, Quenemo, Kansas is all you get. I found this article about the town - which states that it is believed that this Quenemo is the only Quenemo in existence. So there ya go.
And the article says Quenemo was likely named for a Sac and Fox Indian chief or his daughter.

Back in the 70’s there was a guy moved to town to work on the railroad, handsome devil. Before we knew what his name was we found out where he was from. After that we could never remember his name so we just called him Quenimo, after his hometown and the “Quen the Eskimo”song.
Many moons ago———–when Hubby had a bike & I still fit on the sissy seat———we use to ride his bike to Quenemo-as there were several other bikers from there at that time———then there was some kind of trouble & can’t remember now what it was ——–but we all quit riding to there & I don’t know if we have even been back there since!
That is the only thing I’ve ever known about Quenemo - the killin’ that took place at a Friday-the-13th biker gang rally - back in the early ’80s, I think. They quit having the gatherings after that.
