Merrillsville Post Office

By [Riley]

Franklin Falls may have been the earliest settlement in the town of Franklin, founded in about 1827, but [[1]] was settled a couple of years later and boasted the earliest United States Post Office in Franklin Township, which was established on July 29, 1837.

In 1831, a 24 year-old man by the name of John Robertson Merrill came over from Vermont with a group of friends and built the [Inn], which still stands today in pretty much its original condition. The inn was the site of that early post office, and of course, Merrill was named postmaster. . . .

This list of Post Offices, transcribed by Teresa R. Eshelman from information from the National Archives, is given in Volume IV (1991) of the [of Franklin] journal, "[Told Me So]." 

[R. Merrill] Postmaster July 29, 1837 Discontinued December 29, 1843 Reestablished March 26, 1844 [D. Merrill] Postmaster January 4, 1855 [A. Smith] Postmaster June 18, 1858 Name changed to [Home] June 18, 1858 Name changed back to Merrillsville between 1858 and 1861 [Merrill] Postmaster, July 5, 1861 [B.
