Defiance Post Office Employees of 1920

For many years, Lloyd V. Tuttle contributed historic photos and information to the Defiance Crescent-News for his column: "A Backward Glance."  This article appeared in the paper on  Thursday, September 12, 1963.  Although the photo is unclear, the information included in Mr. Tuttle's remarks is quite interesting.  Note the mail delivery vehicles lined up behind the workers.

"Time makes many changes.  Most of the men in this picture, taken in front of the Defiance Post Office in 1920, have passed to the Great Beyond.  The picture, loaned by Lowell Folk, Ayersville, is of the rural mail carriers and a few other employees of the Defiance Post Office at that time.
