McCleary, Washington 98557

McCleary Post Office. The story goes like this. Around 1910-1911, when the door plant was moved here, Henry McCleary called in the postmasters of the older and established villages of Sine and Summit and offered them a deal if they agreed to consolidate and establish a McCleary Post Office. The Sine postmaster, a member of the Murray family, was given a job in McCleary's mill. Harry Craft, the Summit postmaster was made the McCleary postmaster.

In later years Henry's brother, Leonard, served as postmaster.
