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.

They are: From left, Gale E. Hale, substitute; Albert Anderson, route 7; Edward Schessler, route 6; Harry Fribley, route 1; Clem Stonebraker, route 5; Bert Easley, route 6; Walker Morris, route 10; Herman W. Spangler, postmaster; William Rasor, route 3; Frank Smith, route 11; John W. Folk, substitute; Walter Spangler, city 4; George Smith, route 12; August Emmert, special; Frank Folk, route 2; Wesley Lloyd, route 9; Louis Packer, mail messenger; and Isaac Deveaux, route 4."
