ESTERO POST OFFICE; Established March 26, 1895: Carl Luettich was the first "boat" mail carrier. From 1920-1923, he carried the mail three days a week to Punta Rassa, Black Island, and San Carlos Point. Later, Allen Andrews, the Koreshan News-printer, carried the mail by boat. The boats were named "The Victoria" and "The Cracker Bay." They were owned by the Koreshan Unity.

Mound Key/Notes from Evelyn Horne:
Charles Luettich family and 3 daughters moved from Mound Key in 1925 for the girls to go to school at Estero, and for their son Charles Luettich, Jr. to be born. They lived in Mary Mill's house, 2 story on Corkscrew Rd, a Koreshan lady who was Teed's secretary. The two sisters Henrietta and Mary went to the Damkohler School on Mound Key and have gold medals from Damkohler for their
achievements. The family lived in a 40-foot house boat on the south side of the island. John Furen, owner of land, dug shell out of the island for the county roads in Estero. The first teacher was Minnie Lee Wombell, who lived with the fishermen's families.
