STAMP AGENCIES ABOLISHED.
In Place of Them South Bend Is to Have Two Sub-Agencies.
The six stamp agencies established by the postoffice department several months ago have been abolished by orders from headquarters as a measure of economy, but in place of them the department has granted Postmaster Harrigan two sub-agencies, where money order stamp and all other postal business will be transacted except the distribution of mail. It is hoped that two more sub-agencies may be secured.
It has been arranged between Postmaster Harrigan and his successor, Postmaster-elect H. G. Miller, to turn the South Bend postoffice over to the latter on the morning of April 1. By that time it is expected the postoffice will be located in the new government building.

I've "rescued" an old photograph of Matie BEARDSLEY of South Bend, Indiana
which was taken at the E.B. Ives Studio in Niles, Michigan. The photograph
appears to have been taken in the 1880's with Matie looking to be in her
20's at the time. The album that the photograph was recovered from includes
what appears to be schoolmates photographs with many coming from studios in
Terre Haute, IN and at least one including the inscription I.S.N.S. Class of
1889.
I'm hoping to locate someone from this family so that this wonderful old
photograph can be returned to the care of family. If you are a member of
this family or know someone who might be, please contact me.
Thanks,
Shelley
