<DIV>A while back there was some discussion on the line between Lane County
and Benton County and the town of Junction City. I have always known
that the Junction City Post Office covered a fairly large area, but in going
over a death certificate, I came up with a new area that the Junction City P.
O. covered (at least new to me). </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The person died in 1940 at his residence with an address of Rt. 3,
Junction City, <STRONG>Benton Co</STRONG>., OR. On the line for Street,
it says Irish Bend Community. The Irish Bend area is south of
Corvallis but north of Monroe and definitely north of Junction
City. The funeral home used was from Junction City, and he is
buried in what is now known Rest Lawn Memorial in the Junction City area
in Lane County.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Guess I should be careful in adding Lane County to all Junction City
entries. </DIV></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV>

<DIV>Barbara,</DIV>
<DIV>This is correct. For quite a lot of years, the Rural Route 3 out of the
Junction City</DIV>
<DIV>Post Office has delivered to a large area north of Junction City. (I am
thinking that</DIV>
<DIV>some time back, Monroe did not do Rural Routes, but maybe I'm wrong. There
was</DIV>
<DIV>also Star Route M, which delivered mail north out of Junction City and then
picked</DIV>
<DIV>up mail at Monroe and delivered north from there.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Confusing isn't it? And I'm sure it was even more so earlier when there
were fewer</DIV>
<DIV>households.</DIV>
