Postmasters McA/I/Nin(ch/sh) 1832-1971 |
|
|
|
Seventeen different McA/I/Nin(ch/sh) people have served as Postmasters in the U.S. Post Office |
|
between 1832 and 1971, in the 100 years from 1870 (Samuel W. McAninch, Mount Meridian, |
|
Putnam County, Indiana, 1870-1871) into the 20th century (Ethridge Lee McAninch, Mintonville, |
|
Casey County, Kentucky, 1961-1970), across ten different states (Arkansas, Indiana, Kentucky, |
|
Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, Nevada, Oklahoma, Oregon, and West Virginia). |
|
|
|
And, for eleven of these McA/I/Nin(ch/sh) people, it was a family affair: |
|
three brothers Milton C., Samuel W., and William A. McAninch in Putnam County, Indiana; |
|
mother and daughter, Victoria (Tucker) McAninch/McAnish (wife of Stewart L. McAninch |
|
/McAnish) in Bristol, Nevada, and their daughter Emma Victoria McAnish in Oregon; |
|
father and son, Charles P. McIninch in the Indian Territory and James M. McIninch in Oklahoma; |
|
two brothers, Fred A. and Harry W. McNinch in West Virginia; and |
|
uncle and nephew, George T. McAninch and (Ethridge) Lee McAninch in Casey Co., Kentucky. |

|
"Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the |
|
swift completion of their appointed rounds", on the James Farley Post Office in New York City. |
|
The inscription was added by the building architect, William Mitchell Kendall, derived from a |
|
quote from Herodotus' Histories, referring to the courier service of the ancient Persian Empire. |
