Hi again Penny - I did run across something on the net using a "Google" search
that talks about Carr's landing being named after Andy Carr - it also talks about
"Gibson House" - an 1912 heritage home on the lake near the regional park -
which I am sure you are famiiar with. It houses a museum - wouldn't they have some
info on those "olden days". I have a subscription to
Ancestry.com so if there
is anything I can look up for you on there - just send me the info that you have. My son
and daughter-in-law rent a house at Carr's Landing for 2 weeks each summer and we go
up and stay with them for several days - otherwise I don't know much about the
surrounding areas and we do not have other contacts in the area. I did see a site- again
going through a Google search that shows pics and a brief history of all the sternwheelers
that ran on the lake - I scanned them quickly to see if there was any mention of mail
carriers aboard or of them meeting the boats but did not find anythi!
ng of interest with regard to your Andy Carr. Good luck in your search - let me know
about Ancestry.com.........Ciao....Darlene.
