Summary
The Saint James Post Office is the postal office whose July 1973 history traces an 1849 establishment, several county and jurisdiction relocations, the Saint James name adopted in 1854, a 1868 re-establishment, and continued twentieth- century service. The account names William W. Boyle, Frank J. Nackerman, and Mary C. Minor in the modern succession.
History
The reprinted chronology says the office began as a fourth-class office on January 13, 1849; moved between jurisdictions in 1853–1855; was discontinued in 1868 and re-established later that year; and moved into Charlevoix County in 1895. It records domestic money-order service and a change from fourth to third class in 1945. The history is preserved as a source-attributed chronology, not silently reconciled with postal registers.
Evidence and limits
The held source is a local reprint compiled by David Colyer. It does not supply the underlying Post Office Department files, building deeds, or a complete list of officeholders beyond the printed table.
