The last postmaster to serve the Curry Run office was Belle Derrick. The last postal site was at her home where she had a small addition added on to the side of the house. She opened a small store and the post office from this site until the closing of the office on September 15, 1932. Postal service was then removed to the Mahaffey Post Office where it remains to this day [2010].
