KEN McKELLAR CROMARTY It was with deep regret that the people of Cromarty and community learned that their post office would be closed, June 10, 1969. Cromarty Post Office was first established in 1856 and the duties of the first postmaster, John McLaren commenced December 1 of the same year in the home now occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Robert Dodds. This office was under the supervision of the, London office. During the years many changes have taken place in the village and very few of the original inhabitants now remain to add information regarding the exact location of the buildings where the post office was located. In the "Story of Hibbert Township", compiled by Miss Isabelle Campbell in 1952, she gives a complete list of all those who had served in the capacity of postmaster or postmistress and also years of service from 1856 until 1948. Several changes followed until 1955 when Mr. Otto Walker was appointed to the office and with Mrs. Walker as a competent assistant, continued to serve faithfully until Cromarty post office was closed this week.
