Postboy Creek
Postboy Creek is a stream in the U.S. state of Ohio.[1] The nearby community of Postboy, Ohio takes its name from the creek.[2]
Postboy Creek was named in memory of William Cartmell, a young mail carrier (post boy).[3] Cartmell was murdered in a robbery in 1825, a crime for which the perpetrator was later hanged.[4]
