ANSLEY’S POST OFFICE

The first postmaster was Sam Royds, appointed. He died before his term expired and his wife, now Mrs. B. J. Tierney, filled out the term. In their order the postmasters, since Royds, have been Major E. S. Ellison, A. H. Turpen, T. T. Varney, Thomas Wright, E. P. Gaines, and A. H. Shepard. The first rural route was established in 1904, with Joe Hyatt as the carrier. There are at present three regular and two Star routes.
