New Post Office Recalls

Belleville home and moved to
Lucan, locating in a log house
on the lot owned by the late
Elizabeth Ryan, and there took
over Lucan's first post office. In
that log house their eldest
daughter, Alice—Mrs. Windsor—
was iboru. Alice St. was named
after her.
Soon after, the family moved
over to Main St., and . built

could have located no more cen

office than the crossroads of
Main, Alice and William Streets.
In 1909 the old frame build
ing was replaced by the imposing
red brick structure of today. No
necessity for passing motorists
to ask, “Where is the post of

lettered, for all to see. One just
couldn’t miss it.
