Rosser is a small community at the crossroads of the railroad and the main highway east of Huntingdon. The official name was "Post" but it has always been called Rosser for a man that ran the first store. Mail was delivered to the store from the train from a lever mounted on the train where the mail sack was hung. As the train passed by, the mail sack was caught on another lever on the platform in back of the store.
East of the store was a school house. The teachers were in order of succession, Eula Williams, Lola Turtan, Ione Ross, Lillian Turner, Loura Herr, Inez Carlton, Thelma Springer, Laura Smith and May Glisson. Henry Walters ran the grist mill. The Williams family operated the cotton gin. The old general merchandise store was run by Tom Rogers and later Homer and Clyde Williams who built a hall over the store to be used as a lodge for the Woodman of the World. Hebron Methodist Church also used the hall.
Morgan Mebane and his family came to Tennessee in 1850 in a wagon train from North Carolina and settled east of Rosser. The trip took two years to make. Mr. Mebane made many trips to the Tennessee River for supplies brought in by barge to sell the neighbors.
