The Post Office

 

When the population began to grow in 1914, Dome Creek first applied to get a post office.

Shortly after, Frank Gleason opened his store in Dome Creek in the 1920’s and the post office

was operated out of it.

 This was the first “real” post office building,

before that the Post office was run out of peoples homes. The Post Office operated in the store

until the early 60’s when at that time

Jimmy Miller took it over. He ran the post office out of his home until his death in the mid 1070’s.

After his death, the community built a small structure to house the new post office and it

now sits in its original spot. At that time Eva Blangy became the new Post Mistress, she

ran it from 1975 until she retired in 1982.

After Eva’s retirement, Ken (Smitty) Smith took on as Postmaster and moved the little building

to his house. (Just across the tracks from where it was). In 1983 the post office was moved up to

Dave and Wendy Howe’s property when Wendy became the Post Mistress.

Wendy still operates the Post Office, which is located on their property

in a new building. The old building was returned to

its original place and later became the Library. It still sits there today.
