NEW POSTMASTER FOR COOKVILLE
W. O. KEITH WAS CHECKED INTO THE OFFICE FRIDAY AFTERNOON
A new postmaster was inducted into office at Cookville Friday afternoon, in the person of W. 0. Keith, for many years a resident of that city.
Cookville has had no regular postmaster for some months, due to the resignation of Verne Adams, and an acting postmaster has been looking after the duties of the office. Mr. Keith received his commission some time ago, and on Friday was checked into the office.
Mr. J. Schultze has received official notification of her appointment as postmaster at Talco, and blanks have, been sent for her bond, and she expects to receive her commission within a short while.
The late U.S. Congressman Wright Patman compiled most of the following information about the Cookville post office in 1963. The population listed is from Congressman Patman's original 1963 listing. We it give visitors an idea of Cookville's population at that time. Congressman Patman served the First Congressional District of Texas, which included Titus County, for many years. We have updated his information when historical records have made it possible to do so.
Postmasters and their appointment dates were obtained from the postal records of the United States Archives and the Department of the Post Office, Washington, D. C.
Mileage location of each post office was obtained from sight location records, U. S. Archives.
