The Lake County Times Indiana Nov. 23, 1918 Historic Lake County Village Now Passes Into History The discontinuance of the Creston Post Office as announced by the government to take effect on Nov. 30, brings to mind many reminiscences of the old postal station that is a landmark in southern Lake county for near on to sixty years. To the mind of the writer there has been but four postmasters in the sixty years. Adelbert D. PALMER was the first postmaster, which was held by him for between twenty-five and thirty years. Dell PALMER, as he was always addressed by the pioneers of the county, at one time practically owned the little burg of Creston - the village blacksmith shop, donated the church site and substantially financed its building, and the cemetery lot, the grain elevator and general mercantile store. To this point in the early days of the county travelers came from far and near, to this point the mail was delivered by the old fashioned stage coach; John WILKINSON, dead years ago, being the mail carrier between Crown Point and Lowell via Cedar Lake; many of the notables of the surrounding and adjoining territories of the great commonwealth of the state of Indiana found a haven of rest at the hospitality of Mr. PALMER. All the politicians, including Congressman "Billy" OWENS and Congressman Edgar D. CRUMPACKER, and all the congressment of the old thirteenth and tenth congressional districts were wined, dined and slept and with plenty of hay and grain in the barn for the oxen and horses free of cost by Mr. PALMER. To this point many of Lake county's notables, including Major-General William G. HAHN one of the greatest U.S. military generals when a small boy and up into young manhood came for his mail at the Creston Post Office; as did Timothy H. BALL, Lake county's greatest author and historian and many others. The original post office was one-half mile east of Creston and was known as TINKERVILLE, till the Monon railway came throught when it was moved to the present site nearly a half a century ago and some twenty years ago Mr. PALMER retired from active life and moved to Lowell where he died in June, 1911. At this point Mr. PALMER and his estimable wife raised a family of nine children - seven sons and two daughters: Mrs. Amos P. THOMPSON C. F. PALMER of Lowell James C., Marcus A. and Benjamin F. of Hammond Jasper P. of East Chicago John D. of Chicago Grant F. of California Mrs. Elmer E. RAGON of Gary The other postmasters serving instead of Mr. PALMER are: Lester CUTLER Arthur G. TAYLOR Harry TAYLOR, the present postmaster. And thus will pass away another of Lake county's landmarks that is not to be remembered so vividly by the younger as the older generations.
