Black Ghost Towns in Kansas

I think that most of these are a result of failed Exoduster experiences but I don't know. More to find out.  Here is what I have gathered so far:

Dunlap, Kansas --outside of Council Grove--http://www.legendsofkansas.com/dunlap.html


Nicodemus, Kansas -- not quite a ghost town yet, but has had a severe population decline https://www.legendsofamerica.com/ks-nicodemus/

Morton City-- http://kansasghosttowns.blogspot.com/2015/12/morton-city-dead-exoduster-colony-in.html

Quindaro--https://www.kshs.org/p/kansas-historical-quarterly-annals-of-quindaro-a-kansas-ghost-town/13128, perhaps one of the most successful and the best documented.

I am looking for information on Sumner City and Redmondsville which were mentioned in the Exodusters book that I am reading.
