Willitts, who with his wife had persisted in seeking the post office, was the first postmaster.[4] Before this, the Willitts and others in Persist got their mail by going to Trail along a {{convert|22|mi|km|adj=on}} trail or to Prospect along a {{convert|10|mi|km|adj=on}} trail.[4] The post office opened in 1902, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1935.[5] References1. ^1 2 {{cite web | work = Geographic Names Information System| publisher = United States Geological Survey | date =November 20, 1980 | url ={{Gnis3|1161472}}| title = Persist (historical)| accessdate =January 9, 2017}} {{Jackson County, Oregon}}{{JacksonCountyOR-geo-stub}}{{Ghost-town-stub}}2. ^{{cite book |title= Oregon Atlas & Gazetteer |edition= 7th |year= 2008 |publisher= DeLorme |location= Yarmouth, Maine |isbn= 0-89933-347-8 |page= 61}} 3. ^{{cite news | url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1499&dat=19701015&id=XzIaAAAAIBAJ&sjid=VSgEAAAAIBAJ&pg=7216,2930074&hl=en | title=From Sleepy Eye to Chicken Bristle, USA | work=The Milwaukee Journal | date=October 15, 1970 | accessdate=April 22, 2015 | last=Scriba |first=Jay}} 4. ^1 {{cite book |last= McArthur |first= Lewis A. |authorlink= Lewis A.
