Hi Ann, You wouldn't happen to know any of the history regarding locations of old Post Offices and what the Sullivan's boundaries were during the late 1800's? Thank you for your assistance, it is greatly appreciated. Best regards, Denis On Apr 6, 2007, at 4:20 PM, [email protected] wrote: >> I live outside of Sullivan.

This is what is in the book, "A History of Sullivan, Missouri and the Bank of Sullivan", Darlene Schatz and Ruth Dace. The Mt. Helicon post offfice was established on July 25, 1856 and Austin Clark was the postmaster. It was located in the Clark Store and stagecoach station. Mt. Helicon was the name of the Jacob Clark farm. The Clark family cemetery, now located on Springfield Road, was a part of that farm. Sullivan had not yet been founded. In 1860, the Mt. Helicon post office was discontinued. On July 24, 1860, a post office was established in Sullivan. Alfred O. Melvin was the postmaster. In the 1890s the post office was in the Clark-Martin store and Carrick Clark was the postmaster. A plat of Sullivan shows that in 1898 the post office was located on Front Street between the Fisher Building and theBennett Building. Between c. 1910 to 1941 it was a section of the larger Fisher Building. I hope this information helps someone.
