SHORT HISTORY of the Roann Post Office: The first post office was established in 1860 with Jane Thatcher as postmistress. In 1890, it was moved to the rear of the bank building.

Samuel M. Baird was postmaster at that time until 1900 when it moved to the east side of Main Street. In 1901, the building was destroyed by fire. I cannot find any information from then until 1958. In 1958, the current post office was built. With the post office being on one side and a medical office on the other, I, as a child, remember Ruth Flinn being the postmaster for many years.

Mildred Eller followed her and then Harold Bowman. Dr. LaSalle was in the medical building for a while.
