Two Oldest Postrn asters
Are Sure of Their Jobs

There are two postmasters who
don't worry about losing their jobs
when administrations change.
Fifty-five years without mistake
that's the record Of Richard j.
Knerr, of Claussville, Pa, Oldest
postmaster in the United States in
point of service.
st have never had any trouble with
superiors. 1 have never had form
returned because Of error" Knerr
says that is the proudest statement
he can make.
He was appointed by President
Johnson, November IS, 1865. Local
postage than was tAree cents. 1t
increased in zones. Mail to the west
ern states cost eight cents.
Mail was delivered at Claussville
twice a week. Coach and horseman

no attempts to rob my office. I
have found it an honest world" says
Knerr.
Second Oldest
E. D. Springer started in the lum-
Der business at South Creek. N. c.,
in 1859. No mail was delivered there.
Springer had himself appointed post
master. His firm had to pay the car
riers.
Then mail was delivered weekly
from the county seat, then three
times week and now daily.
An r. F. D. was established at
South Creek in 1904. Today it han
dies 100000 pieces of mail year.
"The office has never paid for
the trouble and I only kept it for
the convenience of it," says Springer,
the second oldest postmaster in the
country. "Since quitting the lumber
business in,1907 it does to pass away
the time"
These men have seen the mail serv-
Ice develop from the stage coach era
to the airplane era and each has
played his part.
