Compliments
Miss Hamner
Oct. 27, 1958.
Dear Editors:
Being this is Miss Laura Ham-
ner week at Claude I would like
to pay her a tribute when she was
postmistress at Claude. Probably
not many recall when the first
rural mail route started back in
1908 or 1909 or there about. I
don't recall just what date but
it was through her tireless effort
that it started by horse and cart.
It started by the patrons paying
the carrier to prove that it could
be done. The carrier would ex-
change horse at the halfway
mark. So it was through her
effort that the people got the
rural mail service and I've always
thought what a wonderful thing
that was of her, for the people
that couldn't get their mail but
once a week or longer.
Neighbors in those days, when
one went to town, would call for
the neighbors mail at the post-
office. She soon learned what
mail went in what direction and
she would tie each seperate so as
to be handy. She is a wonderful
person
Yours truly,
Mrs. Marie B. Hess,
705 Virginia, Amarillo.
P.S.: I'm an old timer. Came
to Claude in 1890 and lived 15
miles south of town until 1950
then moved to Amarillo, not by
choice but people have to do as
they can. I still have interests
there and many friends.
Political science is the art of
knowing how to point with pride
to the same things you viewed
with alarm when your opponent
held the office.
