AbstractThe Rev. Gustav Schulze and his third wife, Emma Stiehl Schulze, established the official post office in the Beaver Creek community and named it for the community, but had to rename it 'Hilda,' because the name of 'Beaver Creek' was already in use. . . . According to the family history book . . . the Schulze family closed the store and post office in 1918, dismantled the buildings and loaded them onto wagons, sold the land, and moved to another community in Mason County named Ten Mile.
