History
The Benzler Post Office was established on December 9, 1897, but was discontinued on February 15, 1905.[4] In 1905, the Lynn Station was located here, on the Pennsylvania Railroad, but the siding was still called Benzler.[5] After losing its purpose as a mail station after the advent of Rural Free Delivery in 1905, the siding was discontinued on April 1, 1921, as a place to load freight.[6]
The name "Lynn" no longer applies to the area, and was last marked on maps issued by the Marion County, Ohio, Engineers Office in 1905.[citation needed]
