			HAZELETTEVILLE Post Office
 
	 On 15 July 1869, the same day that the postoffice at Chellis was 
established, another postoffice was established about 11 miles to the 
southeast and given the name of Hazeletteville. Early in 1869 George W. 
Hazlette received a patent for his homestead along the Parallel Line, 9 
miles east, four south and about a quarter mile east of Yates Center. On the 
above date he established the postoffice in his home where mail was handled 
for people in that vicinity until the postoffice was discontinued 17 May 
1871. There is nothing to show that a homestead ever existed on this 80 
acres.
