store at First and Main. Perryman moved the post office from his home to this store to provide better mail service to the community. He continued as postmaster until 1885, when he was succeeded by James M. Hall. Josiah died in 1889. The Hall brothers, James M. and Harry C., who had operated the railway's company]] store in Vinita chose the point at which the railroad stopped. They initially selected a site where the railroad crossed what would become Lewis Avenue and pitched a tent for the store there. This location was just inside the boundary of the Cherokee nation. When the Halls discovered that the Creek Nation had fewer restrictions on the activities of white merchants, they moved the store a couple of miles west to what would become First street and erected a more permanent wooden building. James M. Hall, who would later be referred to as the 'Father of Tulsa,' marked off Tulsa's first streets, built its first permanent store, organized its first church, school, and government, and served as Tulsa's first Interim Postmaster. In March, 1883, T. J. (Jeff Archer), a mixed-blood Cherokee, opened a general store on First street, north of the Frisco railroad track. He soon fell in love with the daughter of George Mowbray. In 1905, he died in a tragic accident at his store, when an inebriated customer's firearm discharged into the area where Archer kept explosives, causing a keg of powder to explode. The store was demolished. The customer died instantly, while Archer suffered for a few weeks before he passed away. The city memorialized the popular storekeeper by naming the street paralleling the Frisco track for him. In the summer of 1884, Rev. W. P. Haworth, a Presbyterian missionary serving at Vinita, Oklahoma, was sent to Tulsa to take charge of the church work. He constructed a building on the southeast corner of Fourth Street and Boston Avenue. Meanwhile Mrs. Haworth and another woman began teaching school in their homes until Haworth's building was finished. He opened the first church in the mission on October 5, 1885. Haworth did not remain long in Tulsa because soon after preaching against Tulsa's lawlessness one Sunday in 1888, he was beaten unconscious. Immediately, he resigned his position and moved to California. The Presbyterian Church (PCUSA) established the Presbyterian Mission Day School, a one-story building at what would become 4th Street and Boston Avenue
