While working on another project, I compiled a list of
postoffices in Kosciusko County. This information as been
gleaned from the two volume set of books, THE POSTAL HISTORY OF
INDIANA by J. David Baker,copyright 1976. Part XI, Post Offices
and Post Masters, 1800-1890, starting page 885. I understand
that additions and corrections have been made to the list since
the publication of this set of books. A list of postmasters
and the dates they served is also given. When I get time, I will
make an alphabetical listing of that info.
