Yulan Post Office
click here for larger image (125k) of this postcard
postcard from our private collection
A postcard captioned At The Post Office, Yulan, NY. No postmark, appears to be c. 1905. Note the dogs pulling the little boy. The old man seated in black is the postmaster.
Man dressed in black is John C. Metzger Postmaster, Walter Metzger's Grandfather.
Louis Hazen is the boy sitting on the dog cart.
Henry Wolff is standing up holding on to the motorcycle. He is Walter Metzger's Uncle.
Notes: John C. Metzger used to wear copper bands on his arms to try to cure his rheumitism.
Story:
When Walter Metzger was 5 or 6 years old , he was a chunky child.
A boarder named Charles Hartnet who used to stay at the Bornsteins, would pay Walter Metzger 25cents to try to squeeze through the space between the post office and the building on the right.
I guess Charles Hartnett thought this was funny.
He would also pay Walter 25 cents to get on the back of John C. Metzgers big Tom turkey and ride him.
