There are two post post-offices in the township, -- one at Williamston village, bearing its name, and one in the north part of the town, known as Alverson post-office. They latter was established about the beginning of Gen Grant's Administration in 1869, with S. D. Alverson as postmaster. The present incumbent is Philip De Barry, who has held it about four years. It was at first located at Alverson's dwelling, on the northwest quarter of section 3. Upon De Barry's appointment he removed it to his residence, on section 4. For account of the Williamston post-office, see history of the village of Williamston.
