ELchoes from tf\e \ alley Postoffices Never Die B> Mrv Merrill Anderson The final chapter is being written and two more old land marks are being added to the lL-t as the Dorsey and Star post ofiees close their doors to the public. Tuese, along with our rural schools and churches, arc being cut - classed by a progressive movement toward betterment of i ur people. in some instances, we are skep tical as to the possibile results However, in view of the many advancements made since these postoffices first started, it is quite evident they are no longer es sential to their communities and no financial gain is realized. As we retrace the history of the Dorsey postoffice, we learn it was first designated Apple Creek, named for the stream on which banka it stands. Incidentally the stream was thus named because it was one of two streams in .Nebraska which boasted of pro ductive crab apple trees. Some time during the 80's the name was changed to Dorsey, named for George W. E. Dorsey, a cong ressman from 1885 to 1891. In the beginning, the mail man was brought daily by team across the Missouri from the little vil lage of Running Water at the end of the railroad, a distance of ap proximately 25 miles. Supplies of all kinds came that way by wag on. Immigrants began to move in, setting along the stream where juel and shelter were advanta geous. In 1890 the settlers num-1 bered around 100, in about one half section. A promising city was developing, boasting of three stores, a harness shop, black smith shop, drug store, hotel, liv ery barn, flour mill, all which long ago closed the doors. There was a one-room school1 with enrollment of 60 pupils,1 ranging in age from 6 to 20 years I with one teacher for all. The school term lasted but three; months. Little published data has been i found on the Star postoffiee but j to my knowledge it was estab lished about the same time as Dorsey. Records note that the mail was carried from Star to Paddock in 1882 on horse-back! by V. V. Rosencrans, father of H.i V Rosencrans, present postmast- j er at Red bird. It might be of interest to notel that under orders from the postal j Department mail deliveries to citizens along the routes werei started on July 1, 1902. May I paraphrase General Mac Arthur? Old postoffices never die; they just fade away.
