The ceremony also in- cluded the ceremonial cutting of a large cake baked specially for -the occasion and afterward spectators and invited guests were invited to have a piece of cake and a coffee at an in- formal reception. Marie Walker is Blue - vale's 12th postmaster. The first postmaster, William Messer, served from Oct. 1, 1859 to 1880, Since then a total of eight men and two women have occupied the position, including Alvin Dunn Smith, the longest - serving postmaster (30 years) and William Dulm- age, whose four-month stint in 1888 makes him the short- est -serving postmaster. Miss -Walker became post- master on June 16, 1977, succeeding Mrs. Elsie Smith, wife of Alvin Smith, who had replaced her husband upon his retirement in 1968. An interesting sidelight to the post office history has been provided by R. E. McKinney of Bluevale. It seems that William "Billy" Messer, the first postmaster, was Mr. McKinney's uncle. He also reported that his father, Joseph McKinney, took the first rural delivery contract at the post office, delivering the ail along Rural Route 1 hick in- cluded Wingham. At that time t e contract paid something like $425 per year, Mr. McKinney recalls, and his father applied for it in the expectation that it would provide some em- ployment for his elder son Leslie when he returned from overseas service during World War I. Sadly, Leslie was killed in action and never came back, so R. E., who was in his early teens at the time, and his mother ran the mail route. BLUEVALE 4-1.1 The first meeting of the ..
