Post Office History in Daisy

We don't want to lose our post office. We may be a small community - but we are a community, the oldest in Evans County and losing our post office would be like losing our identity.


The Daisy Post Office was established July 31, 1890. Daisy was in Tattnall County then. The formation of Evans County was not until October of 1914.

Post masters included:
Thomas Jefferson Edwards (July 31, 1890 - October 15, 1897)
Thomas Hershel Durrence (October 15, 1897 - February 11, 1903)

George W. Ellarbee (February 11, 1903-October 20, 1914) and (December 13, 1917 - September 18, 1929)
Otto Cowart  (October 20, 1914-December 13, 1917)

  Lewis P. Stirckland served from May 16, 1931 until November 15, 1942.  His widow, 94-year-old Cletus Strickland said Saturday, April 16 that "I want it to stay." She still gets her mail at the post office.
