this info from Schaumburg Township Supervisor's Book of Records 1851 thru and including 1914 Postmaster and Mailcarrier: Mail in 1869 was carried to and from BLOOMINGDALE and the mailcarrier Henry Rohlwing was paid 21.00 to do this. The first postmaster was George Does in 1870, then followed by Louis Menke, each it seems being paid $30.00 per year. Louis Menke was the Postmaster in Sept 1871 for which he was paid $15.00. I believe that he was the 2nd postmaster, George Does was the first, paid a total of $40.00. For 18 months, up thru April 1st 1873 Louis Menke was paid $45.00 to be postmaster. During this time he had Henry Meyer as a mail carrier who for 17 months was paid $65.55 (up to 4-1-1873) and for an unknown amount of time in m1871 Henry Meyer was paid $66.00. Henry Meyer was also the Township Assessor. 1873 L Menke was again postmaster and 1874 getting $30.00 for the job each year and mail carrier Wilhelmine Meyer who was paid $46.00. In 1875 there were two carriers Wm Meyer and H Nerge and they were paid a total of $30.00 I876 L Menke was postmaster for $34.66. 1877 postmaster $34.40 with H Nerge as mail carrier for $33.60 1878 postmaster $35.00 and H Nerge for mail carrier at $34.00 1879 L Menke $28.60 with H Nerge as mailcarrier 30.70 1880 L Menke $28.82 with H Nerge as mailcarrier at $30.88 1881 Postmaster L Menke 29.15 with W Nerge Mail Carrier 31.10 1882 L Menke Postmaster 27.99 with an unnamed mail carrier who received 30.32, later it is noted that the unnamed carrier was H Menke. 1883 L Menke Postmaster 26.00 and H Menke mail carrier 29.40 1884 L Menke Postmaster 16.83 and H Menke 29.18 1885 L Menke postmaster 5.95 and H Menke 26.03 1886 No Postmaster is noted, but H Menke is paid 3.00 for the first three months Then notations about the postmaster and mailcarriers stopped. and then a letter of interest: November 22, 1958 Cogress of the United States House of Representatives Honorable Marguerite Stitt Church 300 Church Street Evanston Illinois Dear Marguerite Stitte ChurchL I have written to you about getting a post office in the township Schaumburg, Schaumburg Illinois. The residents of Schaumburg are so confused about their mail. They are getting mail on rural routes out of Itasca, Roselle, RI Palatine, Illinois, R2 Palatine Illinois, RI Elgin Illinois and Ontarioville, Illinois. The rural Mail man of RI Roselle lives in our Village of Schaumburg Center. We incorporated as Village December 12, 1955, therefore the people have asked me to see that we may have said post office in our village. While Roselle Post Office has been for years crowded with mail for Schaumburg Township, no that subdividers are coming in out township, Hoffman and Campanelles on the west on Schaumburg Road and another on on the east end of Schaumburg Township. Therefore the ideal place for a post office would be in the center of the Village of Schaumburg Center, at Roselle and Schaumburg Roads. Yours truly, President RI Box 188 D Roselle, Illinois I believe it is signed by: Louis Redeker....
