The Farmer’s Fork Post office, established in 1831, was operated by W. Crawford Williams, followed by Robert Hall. It was discontinued July 29, 1834, and re-established on July 31, 1871, by Thomas M. Omohundro. The post office, situated in a storehouse operated by the Omohundro family, served roughly 60 families (600 individuals) in the Farmer’s Fork area. In October 1939, “at an early hour on Friday morning, the Omohundro Store building at Farmer’s Fork was burned...the post office was in this building and with the exception of what was in the safe nothing was saved.” The post office was “kept in the home of the postmistress, Mrs. W. H. Omohundro” after the fire. A small two-story frame building replaced the destroyed post office in late 1939 or early 1940. The Farmer’s Fork Post Office continued to serve the community from its new location until August 18, 1961.![]()
