Colorado. I am writing a book about Piceance Creek which is located in Rio Blanco County, Colorado. There was a family (named Boise) that lived on Fawn Creek , that creek flows into a creek named Black Sulfur and that combined water then flows into Piceance Creek. Around 1890 for about 10 years there was a Post Office located on Black Sulfur. The name Sulphur seems to have been applied to that PO judging from the draft notice address of a man who lived on Fawn Creek and picked up his mail at the Black Sulfur PO. This man's name was Eyer Boise. My father Kay Hughes worked for Eyer in the 1950's. Our family lived on Black Sulfur at the ranch that was known as the John & Ollie Duckett place. I found reference that that there may have been two Postmasters on Black Sulfur a James Mikkelson and Jim Bainbrich Jr. and Nettie Bainbirch. Hope this helps.
