Rural Route service began July 1, 1903.  The original carriers for the three
routes were L. B. BRAY (Rt. 1), J. C. POTTER (Rt. 2), and Joe HARRINGTON
(Rt. 3).

J. C. POTTER resigned sometime afterward, with C.C. CARRELL taking over his
route.  CARRELL also took over the other two routes after BRAY and
HARRINGTON retired.  CARRELL worked as a carrier in Cedar Hill for over 40
years, retiring in January of 1952.

Garland C. VINCENT was appointed rural carrier until he obtained the job of
postmaster in 1964.
