				RIDGE Post Office

	
   On December 20, 1894, Angela M. Turtle resigned as postmaster of the 
Center Ridge postoffice, and on the same day, Chatham was commissioned as 
postmaster and the name was changed to Ridge. The site of the postoffice 
remained the same. A general store was run in connection with the postoffice 
throughout the time the postoffice was in that locality. Other postmasters 
at Ridge besides Hazen were Angelo M. Tuttle, Feb.20, 1896, and John W. 
Jones, April 27, 1900. Jones was postmaster until the office was closed 
and papers sent to Chanute, effective January 30, 1904.
