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.

Save the Daisy Post Office

On April 26, 2011, at 4;30 p.m. at the community center in Daisy, officials from the United States Post Office will be presiding over a community hearing as they are deciding to close the Daisy post office.

On April 16, 2011, a group of citizens of all ages, genders and races gathered in front of the post office to express their concerns over the possible closing to Rebecca Holland, Editor of The Claxton Enterprise.

No one wants it closed. An article will appear in the April 20 edition of the Claxton Enterprise.

Help us save our post office.
