Also, the first post office was heldin hishome, with Benjamin Sherwood the p os tm as te r. H es te r (Sherwood)May also started the first school at their home; s he w as the teacher.

Th e following Incident Is of historical value; Set t l e r s formedclaim associat ions to protect t h e ir r i gh t s; an y se t t l e r who did n ot jo inwas subject to a sort of social ostracism.
