History
The Russell brothers are credited with having ensured the town was officially named 'Fidelity'. Fidelity is a village in Jersey County, Illinois County, Illinois, United States, located about thirty-five miles north of Saint Louis, Missouri. A post office was established in the village in 1854. During the mid-20th century, Fidelity was reportedly the site of "a small Army barracks, grain elevator, several doctors and dentists, a blacksmith shop and grocery stores." Since then, Fidelity has become a tiny village made up mostly of small homes. The post office is now the only remaining business and its postmark has enjoyed some popularity for use on Valentine's day greetings, with several hundred requests for cancellations received from addresses both in the United States and around the world each year [http://apnews.myway.com/article/20070210/D8N722F00.html Associated Press, 'Postmaster Shows Lot of Love in Fidelity', Jim Suhr] retrieved February 10, 2007.
