Mr. Cowan was appointed to the service on June 13, 1921. His original work area cover- ed Township, Warner's Lake, Knox and the Bozenkill. This gave him about 100 stops.

It was sometimes necessary for Mr. Cowan to. leave his rig, shoulder his bag and cross the fields on foot to assure that \the mail •must go through.\ < With the passage of time snow plows became prevalent, roads were more passable, and the routes from the Alta- mont office were consolidated in 1939. •He then was given double the amount of territory to travel.
