Edit tidbit reminds of importance of Russell family in Adair Co. Comments re photo 57291: Mr Richard Phelps as JO Russell 18561928 JIM writes: Ed, I think you mean John Orion Russell instead of James Orion. (John had a brother James who, among other things, served as Columbia postmaster for a few years in the early 1900s.) - JIMJim, thanks. You are right, of course, the change has been made on the photo of Mr. Richard Phelps. Thanks for bringing the memory of the postmaster James Russell to light. I've always wonder if there is a history of the Columbia Post Office anywhere. I don't want to see the memory of the "HyPO" the mail sorting bus which used to bring the mail from Louisville all the way down to Burkesville, KY. Looking back, it was a Duckbill Platypus of Postal Deliveries. Don't know if anything similar is still in existence on planes, trains or busses, but sometimes an old answer is best. - CM 2014-10-29 06:10:20 | Comments | Printable version
