Cuzzart Post Office Is Proposed
On April 20, 1884, Albert Engle certified a federal application to establish a post office called Cuzzart in Preston County’s Pleasant District. Engle was named as the proposed postmaster and estimated that the office would serve about 100 people. The application proposed a special mail arrangement from Willey and identified nearby offices at Morgans Glade, Willey, and Grantsville. A companion hand-drawn map shows the proposed Cuzzart site, nearby roads, Muddy Creek, and surrounding post offices. Joseph N. Miller, postmaster at Morgans Glade, certified the application. The papers document the community’s request for a post office, not its final approval or opening.
