POSTMASTERS – Page 616

Postmasters – A postoffice was established at this place in 1822, with Charles 
Bishop as postmaster.  In 1832 J. T. Ubil succeeded him, and was followed by 
George Beck, John Drayer, Dr. L. M. Lochman, M. L. Duhling, David S. Quickel and 
Stephen A. Bear.  When application was made for a postoffice it was found that 
one by the name of Liverpool had been granted in this State to a town by same 
name in Perry County.  The name Manchester was then selected, which was adopted 
as the name of the town when it was incorporated.  John Drayer was recently 
appointed.
