French Fisherman who came to Gros Cap (on the shore below) early last century also participated in its offshore settlement, St. Helena Island, where ships obtained wood fuel and other supplies.

Next to the last day postmark of Kenneth, MI dated December 30, 1929. It officially discontinued operation the next day, December 31, 1929 with Mrs. Floria Chartrand as its last postmaster. It is noted on the 1929 calendar that December 30th was on a Sunday, and December 31st was on a Monday. So...it is possible that December 30th was postmarked the last day of use.
