Comments

Small building at the left is U.S. Post Office at tiny town of Corso, MO, in NW Lincoln County on State Hwy PP. Gary Davidson home on the right. My father, Donald A. Sullivan, was Postmaster from 1950s to 1970s. Then my step-mother Cora Teare Sullivan became Officer in Charge until the government closed it in the late 1970s. Dad, who built the Post Office, then moved it to his farm. It was built on runners (like a lot of hog houses he built) so fairly easy to move.

This is part of the little village of Corso, MO, in extreme NW Lincoln County, MO. The little white building on the left was the town's post office which closed in 1980. The home at the right at the time of the photo was of Gary and Louise Thompson Davidson. My father Donald Sullivan was post master, and an area farmer, at the time of this photo.
