Angleton

My Grandma Grace Anglin wrote a piece about Angleton for the family book in 1968.  A part of it is copied here for you.

Angleton Store and Post Office - A Fond Memory

When Millwood was in its infancy, Isaac Anglin settled on what is now the Lester Gay farm. He, also, owned a section of land, which he divided among his four children, one of whom was W.B. Anglin, who was born there.
In 1871 W.B. Anglin was married to Ellen Rusher. They lived east of Clunette on the Elam Anglin farm, later moving back to the Millwood farm. This part of the country was new. Roads were corduroy and impassable. Buggies were not in use. People walked to small towns for groceries. So W.B. Anglin started a grocery store in one room of his log house in order to meet the emergency of the times.
Later on he built a new home and the store which was known as "Angleton " . In 1877 he enlarged his store and made it into a General Store.
The early settlers braided hats of wheat straw and sold them at the store. They also brought produce such as eggs, butter and potatoes to exchange them for groceries and dry goods. Beef hides and old rags were, also, brought to the store for exchange.
Sugar, crackers, and salt were kept in barrels. The store carried dried staples such as fruits, beans, dried pork, dried beef, rice, cracked corn, rolled oats, raisins, prunes, and English currents.
The store carried patent medicines and many ailments were taken care of ( thus cheating the doctor of a dollar). Shoes and boots were sold along with many other necessities. It also served as a post office.
A Star route from Warsaw served offices at Monouquet, Clunette. Angleton and Millwood. W.B. Anglin was appointed postmaster at Angleton. At first the mail was carried by mule wagon, driven by Conrand Hinkle and his stepsons, Ed and Will Herschberger .
Picture in your mind the mule team lazily moving along the road.
As they came near a dwelling where children were watching them, Will Herschberger, who had a sense of humor, would yell " Over the hills to the poor house, and the mules would break into a run.
This amused the children and gave Will a thrill. Later the mail wagon was drawn by two black horses. 
The post office was discontinued about 1898, and free mail delivery took it's place. It was a rare treat to have the mail daily after having it ,only,once or twice a week.
A little before that, in 1897, W.B. Anglin bought a stock of groceries from a mister Newman at Clunette and operated a store there. This venture did not prove to be profitable, so in a short time the stock was taken to the Angleton store. For several years two Huckster Wagons were run from the store.
As the roads became improved, people went to town to shop and country stores did not thrive. The Angleton store was closed in 1902. The old store building was moved back from the road and used for implements and a , later,  garage.
When W.B. Anglin died in 1923, the home was retained by Washington Irving Anglin, who had a family of eight sons.
