From http://www.fortunecity.com/millennium/celesteville/170/his_mipe.htm:

John was born February 12, 1858. On December 29, 1880 he married Francis Permelia Jorden who was born October 6, 1862 in Acthison, Kansas. They had 4 children, Mamie, Chalista, John Francis and James Elisha. In 1881 they moved to the Pine Island community and started farming. They bought 200 acres, from Z.H. Hammond for $400 on August 9, 1881. The old home place was on Betka road about one and a half miles south of Brumlow road.

Sixteen years later, in 1897, they bought the property with the general store and post office on the southeast corner of "The Old Houston Highway" and Cochran Rd. from Duncan D. Robertson, according to the book "Closed Post Offices of Waller County" but the records in the courthouse show that he bought two acres from Will Cameron (the postmaster after Robertson) on February 19, 1897. The explanation may be that Robertson was buying the land from Cameron.

John Wesley was appointed the Postmaster on February 8, 1901. After John died, his wife, Francis, was appointed the Postmistress on October 28, 1903 and she was followed as post mistress, by their daughter Mamie P. Milam on October 30, 1914.

John died October 3, 1903 and Francis died on July 31, 1919. They are both buried in the family plot in the Hempstead Cemetery.
