COMMENTS:

This office is located very near, if not on the exact location, as the older Lindville 
Post Office that operated between 1851 and 1860. The modern village of Linville is 
located in the NW 1/4 of Section 6, Township 21 North, Range 3 East. The name appears 
to have been a corruption of the original 'Lindville' post office name. I have 
no idea where the name originated.
