Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma

Adell Bowles originally carried the mail by horseback from Avoca. Adell was started with the small general store that Will Haney started in the spring of 1892, located on one of his forty acre Pottawatomie Indian allotments.  Joseph S. McAlister was the first postmaster. Will Haney later moved his store building to Jefferson and brought the Post Office with him. 

One of the early families was Amable Taupain and his wife Mary Margaret Toupain.
