Burgess, Henry T. Crosby, N. P. Potter, Alfred F. Brown, James H. Finn, Arthur C. Ladd, William H. Brown and Daniel F. Finn. Records prove that from the time of its establishment, when the postmaster was paid by the stamps he cancelled, the advancement has been steady, each year more than the one preceding.
