POST OFFICES & POSTMASTERS
The following information was received from Enid Seaton Ruoff. The information was a microfilmed copy of the postal records of Carbon County, Utah in the National Archives. Listed below are a few of the post offices in Carbon County and the names of the postmasters or post mistresses. There is a column on the copy that has been cutoff so all the information is not complete. The abbreviations have been typed as shown on the copy with my idea of what the abbreviation stands for in the parenthesis.
