Did Chuckery ever have a Post Office?

So many places marked on maps were never platted towns. They were simply locations of post offices. And, it would seem that this is true for Chuckery. There was a US Post Office at Chuckery in the General Store on the corner of SR 38 and SR 161. This post office was active from 1898 to 1903. After the post office was closed, mail delivery in the community was split between Plain City, Milford Center, and Irwin.

If anyone has an example of a Chuckery post mark, please send in a scan of it. I am sure many exist, and my Chuckery neighbors would just need to look through old letter to find one.
