Joyce – The first and third attachment are from the booklet
produced on the occasion of the Dedication of the new PO on
Saturday, November 21, 1959. The second is from a postcard of Main
St. in Canton (which may already be on your site). I recently
noticed that the second building from the left was the post office.
This is the first that I realized that the PO had been on Main
Street. This is probably in the 20 or 30’s.
