Guy Matteson appointed to Postmaster in 1944
The postmaster position was a political appointment through much of our history. Each presidential election that changed the political party of the president triggered a near wholesale turnover in each and every post office. A few incumbents were seen favorably by each local political party, but usually the normal brought a new face to the office.
There was a competitive examination to qualify for the position. In this case Guy Matteson was replacing Frank Weston who had resigned in 1944.
