VI. Post Office, 1941-1961
- Extent:
- 5 box(es) and (2.5 linear feet)
- Scope and content:
-
Consisting of correspondence, memos, regulations, reports, and telegrams, the series is concerned with the opening, closing, or construction of post offices; routes; constituent comments on and postal investigations/inspections into service; legislation pertaining to the operation of post offices; and the appointment of postmasters and rural carriers in the Second Congressional District. The series is arranged alphabetically by community name or subject. It is cross-referenced by series III. Miscellaneous File. Restricted material has been removed from this series.
The files on Benevolence and Bluffton, Georgia contain material directed solely to Third Congressional District Congressman E. L. Forrester and his predecessor, Stephen Pace. The files were apparently transferred because of redistricting in 1964 which added the counties of Clay, Crisp, Quitman, Randolph, Terrell, and Turner, all originally part of the Third District, to the Second District. Additional post office material on these counties, covering the years 1937-1964, may be found in the E. L. Forrester Papers and Stephen Pace Post Office Papers collections.
