Abraham Lincoln was a Postmaster?

Yes, he was according to USPS Newslink.

"He became Postmaster of the now-closed New Salem, IL, Post Office in 1833 in Sangamon County. But the Post Office in Pike County’s town of New Salem is still active, to the relief of Carolyn Baker, its current Officer-In-Charge."
