Postmaster History Ties Childers to Jasper Texas
The News received a check and a request to send the paper to St. L. Childers in Houston, Texas. Locals recall Bob Childers as former Jasper postmaster, with memories from George Pelsen, Bert Webb, John Spaid and others. The account traces Childers through several postmaster terms, with Adams and Wade as successors, and mentions Len Fox once held the post. Oldtimers are glad to hear of his return and request a letter for Jasper friends.
