My dad, Henry Kampe (1916-1983) has a first cousin LeRoy
Mager (1909-1986) who was a postmaster for Frankfort, Will County, Illinois. With
this information, I am interested in the office locations and names of other
postmasters from Frankfort. This research leads me to the following
information.
National Archives microfilm publication M 1131. Record of Appointment of Postmasters, 1832-Sept. 30, 1971. Printed at the National Archives at Atlanta. Scanned for publication by Selma Blackmon. |
Postmasters appointed before 1832 are found in the NationalArchives microfilm publication M1131, Record
of Appointment of Postmasters, Oct. 1789-1832. Postmasters appointed after
1832 are found in the National Archives microfilm publication M841, Record of Appointment of Postmasters,
1832-Sept. 30, 1971. The Frankfort, Will County, Illinois microfilm records
are not available after 1954. Also in Record Group 28 is the Post Office
Department Reports of Site Location 1837-1950 on microfilm M1126.
I did view and print copies of the postmaster microfilm at
the National Archives at Atlanta. The postmaster microfilm has been digitized
and is available on Ancestry.com. The location microfilm has not been
digitized.
