POSTMASTERS of QUINCY

As late as 1903, mail was being brought from Mooresville carried by riders on horseback or by horse-drawn carts. In the very early days the mail came through Millgrove. At that time Millgrove was considered the larger or more promising settlement as it had a mill. After this the mail was carried by the railroad. At first there were two routes out of Quincy; one south and west and the other was east and north. About 1925, these routes were combined. As stated for many years the mail was handled by the railroad, and in 1967 it was conveyed by Mail Truck from Bloomington via Elletsville.
