George A. Beidler arrived at Oklahoma
Station a few
days
before
the land run of
April 22, 1889 to take
over
the post
office
from
Samuel A.
Radebaugh.
He
purchased five
dollars
worth of
lumber and instructed
soldiers
from a
nearby
encampment to
construct this log
and
tin lean-to
across from
the
Santa
Fe
depot. After the land
run
Oklahoma
City was
laid
out
and the post
office came
to
have
the
address
of 8
W
Main.
It
was
a
very
popular place
upon
the
arrival of
trains in the
city as
citizens
gathered
around to
hear
their
names
called
out
by
Beidler.
G.A.
Beidler is

Historical
Soceity.
