Jacob
Dennison was the first postmaster at Cone and he built
the first store there (says WBW and I think it’s in
error; previous post masters had served there before
him, although perhaps under the name “
West Milan. ”).
His store was on the south side of Cone Road just
east of the RR tracks.
His home was on the second floor of the store.
(In WBW 11-15-1989, Warren Hale says Dennison
was given postmaster job as a reward for being first
to set up a store in the community.
I believe that is an error; William Cone had
a store there previously, and left his store to go to
California .)
