Kell would have yet one more honor bestowed upon him. On June 12, 2009, John Putt, III, Postmaster of Swifton, Arkansas sent a formal request to Rep Marion Berry (AR-1), to have the town's Post Office named for George Kell. H.R. 3634 was introduced to the 111th Congress (2009–2010) on September 23, 2009 and on June 9, 2010 it was signed by President Obama and became Public Law 111-180. A Dedication Ceremony was held at the Swifton Post Office on August 26, 2010 that included a special cancellation for the day’s event.
