[1, 2] Key Historical Facts: • The Appointment: The Humphrey post office was officially established on August 28, 1871. • The Location: A branch of the office was initially operated directly out of Nancy and her husband's farmstead. • Naming the Town: The town itself was not platted until November 1880.

Roscoe in 1873. [1, 2, 3]
