Title A name given to the resource First Post Office in Sugar Grove Township on Galena Road (old Route 30) Description An account of the resource Newspaper Article Transcription: SUGAR GROVE LANDMARK MAKES WAY FOR PROGRESS On Galena Road (Business 30), what has been know as Myers Hill for years, is to be cut down and widened, thereby requiring the demolition of the first Post Office in Sugar Grove Township. It was kept by Cyrus Slater in 1840 and mail was brought there by Stage Coach enroute from Chicago to Galena. Letters cost twenty-five cents. William Myers purchased the farm from a man named Graves in 1882. Since that time, the house that was the Post Office has been used as a dwelling, either by the Myers family or people connected with the farm. It was a frame house. The floor joists are the original logs cut from the timber, and the exterior walls are insulated with brick. It is still in very sturdy condition but has to make way for progress. Handwritten note: William and Elizabeth Myers Home, Built Circa 1990. Type written note: Donald S. Myers, et al - No. 1 Main Building Residence. Mrs. Stella Myers occupies this residence.
