Back to the cover Jamesw posted from Feeding Hills, Massachusetts, note that there is still an active post office there. Feeding Hills is a section of Agawam, MA (near Springfield, MA). One interesting item is that even though a relatively modern post office (1965) is there now:



They still have a tribute to the old post office window, mail slots and boxes, from back in the day, noting that the post office started way back on July 1, 1808:

Another previously posted (I've got to stop posting everything. It leaves no surprises left!) from June 19, 1918



Attached is a 1916 SC#MR4 Die II War Tax stamp.
Inside the envelope, besides a short letter were this hand bill and two tickets to the Lawn Social to be held on the 21st.
I assume, since the tickets are here, the recipient didn't attend the social.



The Tilbury East Farmers' Club was a branch of the United Farmers of Ontario, a farmers' educational, social and political organization formed in 1914. The UFO united several small Ontario co-operatives, the Grange and the Farmers' Association. Immediately after the founding of the UFO, the same farmers organized a 'twin' company,the United Farmers Co-operative, to buy supplies and sell produce for Ontario farmers.

Without knowing much of anything about Cumberland City, TN, I just looked it up. The population as of the year 2000 was only 316 people. It still has an active post office, though.

From back in the day when even the most mundane everyday letter deserved a commemorative stamp.
And apparently you didn't need a street number.

A little more information on that stampless letter addressed to Samuel Lawrence, Esq., Gillisonville, SC:

and after practicing law some time with
his kinsman, Col. Richard de Treville, removed to
Marietta, Ga., where, after practicing with marked
success, he became Judge, and held the position for
many years, dying October 2, 1890. Judge Samuel Lawrence
married, first, Amanda Malvina Bolan
(sister of Mrs. John Heyward Glover), who
was born in South Carolina, January 3, 1818, and
died in Marietta, Ga., June 25, 1871. He married,
second, December, 1873, Clara E. Green, of Atlanta,
Ga. His children by his first wife are:

1. James Bolan Lawrence, born Beaufort, S. C,
March 2, 1838 ; died Atlanta, Ga., July 3, 1884.

2. Robert de Treville Lawrence, born South Carolina,
February 9, 1841 ; a soldier in the late war, member
of the Washington Light Infantry, Hampton's
Legion, with which he for some time served, and
