David, I remembered something about my ggrandfather John Riley McMahan carrying the mail for someone and went back and checked his journal. On January the 21st 1888 he wrote that he carried the mail and then on the 24th he wrote- Carrying the mail for Mr. Ross. What post office was in the area around Centerview or Bucktown? I think you know where I am talking about. I'm not sure what the correct community name was at that time. Annette Stricklin Williams awilliams1@mindspring.com > [Original Message] > From: Bobby C.

Annette, The closest place I know of was Paulk's Mill, but it was discontinued in 1878. Not sure if it was the same place, but there was a post office at Paulks in 1887 through 1903. Center View would actually be closer To Cerro Gordo. Ross was probably a mail carrier. The only postmaster with that name that I see was Kenneth Ross at Boyd's Landing in 1869 through 1873.
