Woman Serves 38 Years as Postmistress at Sheakleyville
The oldest postmistress in the United States, Mrs. Mary McCoy of Sheakleyville, marks 38 years in office since her appointment October 15, 1805. Despite rumors of an earlier holder, she has served longer, witnessing rural free delivery arrive in 1869 and gradual post office patronage decline as Lake Shore rail lines changed mail routes. At 86 she remains ready to continue shaping the town’s mail service, with politics unlikely to alter her tenure. Pennsylvania Agricultural Experiment Station exhibit at the Mercer fair September 23.

Release of Louisa Schreckengrost Under Writ of Habeas Corpus
Mrs Louisa Schreckengrost of this sty was released from Allegheny county workhouse Saturday on a writ of habeas corpus secured by Attorney Harvey I Martin.
