STAGE MAIL ROUTE CHANGE 1930



Change in Mail Service on
Morris-West Winfield Route

Beginning June 1, One Driver Will
Double Route Daily

New Lisbon, May 11 – The time of delivering mail on the Morris-West Winfield stage route will be changed beginning June 1. For many years the stage running between the two places has had two drivers, one leaving Morris in the morning, the other leaving Winfield about the same time, meeting at Burlington Flats about noon and returning in the afternoon. The present driver, Jay Thayer, will move to West Winfield and operate the entire route. He will leave West Winfield at 9:15 a. m., arriving at Morris about 11:30 a. m. Returning he will leave Morris at 12:30 p. m. He regrets that the change necessitates moving from the Butternut Valley.
