I grew up near Crosshill, but I was very young when the post office closed in 1969. It first opened in 1852. The postmistress that my parents spoke of was Millie (Foster) Rennie. She acted as postmistress from 1959-1964. The post card shown here is addressed to Millie Foster. The cancelling postmark is a split ring cancel, which were widely used in the late 1800's. There are possibly a few post offices that still use them. This card was sent to Millie in 1911 when she was a young lady of 19.
