This information was taken from EARLY POST OFFICES OF CHAUTAUQUA
COUNTY, NEW YORK
By C. Malcolm Nichols 1960.
The original book was reprinted in 1997 by BERRYBOOK PRESS, P. O. Box
231, Ashville, NY 14710.
This fascinating book gives a detailed history of the formation of post offices
in Chautauqua County.
It also gives exact dates that the postmasters were appointed and additional
information on where each post office was
located; name of post office and sometimes detailed personal information
about the postmaster. Postal stamps and covers
are shown and photos of early post offices. I recommend buying
this book if you are interested in the history of
Chautauqua County.
Copies are still be available. Write to the above address. I paid $18.95
for my copy. Worth every penny.
I have included only those postmasters who served before 1900,
unless the office was discontinued shortly after 1900 or was established
after that date.

issue of the Fredonia Censor.
Copied by Donna Mills
Note: C. Malcolm Nichols in his book Early Post Offices Of Chautauqua County,
New York page 8
states: “Prepayment of postage was not required, the writer merely
placed his letter in the post office
where it was rated and forwarded. The receiver paid the postage when
taking the letter from the
office of receipt. If the sender did prepay the postage, his letter
ws marked PAID when rated.”
Undoubtedly this is why many letters were left at the post office – the recipient
either did not wish to
Pay the postage due or had not the funds to do so.
