Colonel John Jackson who mover to Elkhurl county on the Prairie si: miles north of Syracuse in 1829, wa the first postmaster between For Wayne and Cary Mission in Michigan In his writings he says "the mail wa cairied from Fort Wayne to the mission dvery four weeks. In 183 the people on the prairie were de termined to have the mail sack open ed. A meeting was called, a petitioi drawn Up and signed requesting lha ah office be established here caller, the Elkhart Plain. We sent the pa pens to Fort Wayne by the mail car ner and soon after he brought m< the key and blank forms. 1 soon en tered upon the duties of, postmaste for Elkhart Plain." Tradition says several years later in Q 835 or .37 post offices were es tablished in Syracuse, Benton an< Gi-shen. The Elkhart Plain office vanished and was no more. The writer has a faint recollectioi of a little grocery with a wee post office in the rear. It stood on the north side of Main street betweei Huntington and the little white church. No sidewalks were there, bu there* was a footpath in the gras which led to it. Someone tells me the proprietor was Sharon Hall. At this lime the mail was carriec on horse back and came twice t week. There was but one mail sack and the postmaster had a key. He unlocked the sack, took out the Syracuse mail, pul in the odtgoing mail, locked the sack and the post rider went to the next office on hit route. About 60 years ago Amy Aber built a building where the Syracuse Auto Sales now are located. She wat postmistress in this building for a number of year*. The building was moved along to the site of the present postoffice building. Ed C. Graham published the first issue of the Syracuse Register in this room about 35 years later.
