Old Post Office and General Store in Stillwell

Info from comments...Opened in 1892 with Cletus Gnann as postmaster. Closed in1961 and all mail came by rural carrier through Springfield. (according to Stillwell Mayor who really isn't the mayor). According to Jewel Gnann Ramirez, her grandparents got their mail there. The train would go by each day and retrieve a mail bag from a pole and throw one out.
