"Few people remember Sunfield, Idaho. That was before Tendoy, Idaho was on the map. My uncle, Charles Lipe, ran the store and Post Office at Sunfield. Most of his business was from the Indians at the reservation…

The stage coach from Red Rock enroute to Salmon stopped at the CO. Lipe General Merchandise Store and Post Office at Sunfield, Idaho around 1900. Passengers, mail and merchandise were carried by these early day rigs. The town and Post Office of Sunfield no longer exist.
