The Glen
Haven Daily Mail differs from most local posts in that it served an area in which there was no post office, by bringing mail to neighboring post offices. Beginning in the late 1840's, Glen Haven became a popular health resort and location of
water-cure sanitariums. A post office was established in Glen Haven in 1859, which ended the Daily Mail operation. (Source: Patton book, pages 320-322).
Beginning around 1854, typeset stamps were used on letters from Glen Haven, always in
conjunction with United States postage. The one-cent supplemental fee paid for a letter to be brought to the post office at Scott, about three miles away, or, if the roads were favorable, to Homer, about ten miles from Glen Haven. (Image1)
