According to city-data, Durbin's population is 262 (2000 census).

And, yes, it's quite common in smaller towns not to have home mail delivery. Everybody just has a "P.O.Box nnn" address, and makes a daily trip to the post office to pick up their mail. The post office, like the grocery store, becomes a social center for the residents.

I wouldn't be surprised if the postmaster/mistress is the only postal employee in town... s/he'd have to close the P.O. to go deliver the mail.
