Key was fourth postmaster and store operator and Mrs. Minnie Hickman was postmistress for one year in 1903. R. P. Baker was store operator and postmaster from 1904 to 1912. J. A. Roady bought Baker out in 1912 and operated the the store while Dr. M.E. Robberson, who came to Brady in 1905, took over the postmaster agency. Gertrude Roady Buce was postal clerk for Dr. Robberson for a short while and Grandmother Covington later took the position.
