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.

There will be rather short cattle run at the weekly
sale to be held today (Thursday) at our market. There’ll
be between 150 and 200 head of cattle. Most of these will
be light replacement cattle.
However, it looks like there will be a good-sized hog
run, possibly around 200 feeder pigs alone.
On Thursday, January 10 (one week from today) we
will hold a special stocker-feeder sale. There will be from
600 to 800 head of cattle consigned for that sale, mostly
yearlings and last spring calves. Plan to attend both our
sale today (Thursday) and our special stocker-feeder sale
next Thursday. x
