Post Offices

Avoy Post Office was located on what is now Hwy 39 near Hwy 618 West. The people of Holdam Mill wanted to name the post office after the Holdam family but the government had rules that a community could not name a post office with a name already used in the area so they selected Avoy after a neighbor, John Avoy.
Mr. John Abbott operated the new post office by himself from June 1882 until January 1884. John B. Abbott
and Homer Leslie Avoy with his wife, Rebecca E. Noakes-Avoy are buried at the Friendship Baptist Church Cemetery in Broughtontown. Rebecca E. Noakes was a sister to pastor King David Noakes .

From May 1893 until March 1894 the area was again served with a post office called Hastings. The
office was located on what is now Hwy 39, near Simpson Road and Mike Genton Road. Barbara C. Albright was this office’s only postmaster. In October 1902, Mrs. Albright re-established the office and named it
Albright Post Office. The office closed for good in May 1907.
