    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Cupp Classification: Lookup Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ok.2ADE/4349 Message Board Post: THE FREMONT COUNTY SUN. June 18, 1908. "KNOX POSTOFFICE DISCONTINUED".-- On and after June 16th, the postoffice at Knox will be discontinued, and all mail there-after so addressed will be delivered from Thurman or by carrier. This is the advice received by Postmaster Cupp from the Department officials at Washington. The Knox postoffice was established about 35 years ago and until the advent of rural free delivery was heavily patronized, being situated as it is in the heart of one of the thickly settled and most prosperous communities of the county. Its discontinuance, no doubt, will be like the passing of an old friend to many of the older residents of that vicinity, but the days of its general usefulness are past and it must go.
