Postm Asters

The first postoftice in Daviess county was at Millport, and it was established in the fall of 1835. Previons to that time, Richmond, Ray county, was the principal postoftice for this section of the country, When Millport was losing zround by the location of the county seat at Gallatin, the postoflice was brought to the new town, and G, W. Worthington was postmaster, and he probably also officiated at Millport, and as he was one of the first, if not the first, to put apa cabin atthe new connty seat, he brought the postoftice with him. This was in the early spring ef 1837. Mr. Worthington's successor was Merriwether T. Green, one of the pioneer county judges, who took the office in 1843. Adam Clendencn, county treasurer for nearly twenty years, was the next postmaster, assuming the duties of the office in 1546. He was followed, in 1853, by Robert Owings, and the latter was sneceeded in 1857, by Baalis Davis, who held the office until the summer of 1861, when John Ballinger was appointed by President Lincoln. Mr, Ballinger resigned in 1863, joining the army, but who had charge is not mentioned, In December, 1864, James T. Taylor received his appointment, and continued until 1866, when D. Iartield Davis sueceeded him. Mr. Davis resigned in March, 1869, and the same month ©. C. Gillilan was appointed in his place. There being some opposition to the latter gentleman because he kept a drug store, he only held the office about two years and a half, and in October, 1871, William R. Lee sueceeded him. This latter gentleman, was a bright young man, but labored under the mistake that all the money that came into the postoffice belonged to him, and used it accordingly. This proved to be contrary to the law and rales governing the postoffice department, and Mr. Lee was requested to resign. He did so, and also moved West to grow up with the country. He is at present a respected citizen of Kansas. John Ballinger was placed in charge in April, 1873, and held the office over eizht years, being sneceeded in Angust, 1881, by J. T. Day, appointed by President Garfield, and is now in the discharge of his duties.
