History

edit

The Firebrick Post Office was established in the Donley Store on April 14, 1911. Wm. S. Hamilton was the first Postmaster, followed by Chester C. Donley.[3] It then became a Rural Branch of the Oak Hill Post Office on September 1, 1959, and was discontinued entirely between 1973 and 1974. Mail service is now sent through the Oak Hill branch.[4][5]
