Article description: (description ) This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | "It is thought that Winston received it's name from an early family who owned land in the community for a short
time before moving further west in Kentucky. It is said that Winston was first known as Newman Stand, probably
named for Samuel Newman who was listed in the 1850 census there. Winston post office is the last post office
remaining in current operation on the west side of the Kentucky River in Estill County. Mrs. Doris (H.T.) Hardy
who retired in July 1981 with 32 years service recalls that she had seen money receipts that go back to 1898. She says the post office was established in 1865 and was discontinued May 9, 1870, and was re-established February 10, 1871, and has been in continuous operation since that time. Mrs. Pam Richardson is the current postmaster who obtained that position in August 1981.Henry C. Smith was the first postmaster. Andrew Tharp served as the second postmaster. Other postmasters were Henry G. Witt, William T. Tharp, Elmer Congleton, Mrs. Opal Richardson, Henry Thomas Hardy Jr., Doris C. (H.T.) and the present postmaster Pam Richardson." - Place Name Survey-Estill County, Kentucky, Bobby L. and Lorene Rose, circa 1970s. |
