Bedford Villages, Lost and Found: Volume 1

$45.00

We have run out of stock for this item.

These volumes are a research of villages large enough to have a post office as opposed to place names (such as cross roads). The U. S. Post Office Records provided the name of the post office, date of establishment, the names of postmasters, their dates of service as well as the location of the office. Maps shown were sometimes crudely drawn and distances estimated were often inaccurate. In earlier days there were 143 post offices in Bedford County whereas now there are only 12. The villiages in this work will be arranged to the post office by which they are presently served. Also included are stories, photographs, and articles concerning people establishments, and histories.
