Abstract:

The Stella, North Carolina, post office was first operated by German immigrant William Kuhn. Kuhn came to North Carolina to work as a book keeper for a local mill operation. Purchasing land near Stella, he opened a general store which doubled as the local post office. Another Carteret County post office, located in Mill Creek, was staffed by members of the local Quaker community during the mid-19th century.
