HERE'S AN 81 YEAR
old POSTMASTER
Especial to THE TIMES. }

Griffith, Ind. Dec 19=Yesterday
marked the eighty-first birthday OF
Postmaster Harvey ID. Ellis. Mr.. Ellis
Is remarkably well preserved for one OF
his age and promises to give a good ac-
count of himself for some years to
come. His boyhood home was in
York State" but he came to the Calu-
met region from California where he
conducted a general merchantfle bust
ness. He was among the few who came
to Griffith in her palmy boom days AMI
stayed by her through all her throes
of death and resurrection. And such
has been his reputation for honor and
integrity that Uncle Sam has kept him
as guardian for his mails here during
nearly quarter of a century. He still
handles most of his mails without the
aid of glasses and writes a good plain
hand that might be the envy of many
men.
The volume of business in the LOCAL
Office has Increased to such a great ex-
tent that it might well demand the time
of extra clerk but Mr.. Ellis handles
it with surprising dispatch.
Last summer Mr. Ellis and Mrs Ellis.
who, at the age of IS is as lively as
her husband, took vacation trip
