Revolution Bicentennial Committee in cooperation with the Livingston

EULAR POST OFFICE was located on the Springfield Road east of Watson from

Sept. 11, 1903 until May 21, 1913 at a general merchandise store owned by 

Frank Coxe, who named the post office for his daughter, Mrs. Eula Coxe

Jones, now a resident of Denham Springs.

     A two-room school, Cedar Grove, and a business owned by Mrs. Jones'

grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. William P. Coxe, were located in this area.

The latter was a cotton gin, saw mill, and sugar cane mill.

     According to Mrs. Jones, her uncle, Silas E. Coxe, was also a post-

master there after her family moved to Old Field. (1) - Clark Forrest, Jr.
