A post-office was secured about 1826. The stage ran from Terre Haute to La
Fayette twice a week. Joseph L. Sloan was the first postmaster. He was succeeded
in office by David Rawles. Jacob Tice next secured the position, which he held
till ousted for political reasons, Charles Stafford becoming, the incumbent. In
about seven months Jacob Tice was reinstalled postmaster, and filled the office
till displaced by R. M. Nebeker, the present postmaster.
