From the National Archives:

The post office was so important that every crossroads community in America wanted one. When a small community’s post office closed in the early twentieth century, it was either the harbinger or the result of that village’s demise. Some postmasters served only a few months, while others served for decades. Most were men; some were women. It was a political appointment and a position of trust. The postmaster handled money; other federal agencies counted upon the postmaster for honest opinions.

Most of these towns are gone and considered ghost towns. Click here to view Ghost Towns in Churchill County.
