Harve Hall Retires



"Harve Hall, rural mail carrier of Route 4, is retiring due to his age
and health. His retirement will become effective November 30th. Hall,
sixty-eight years old, was born on a farm south of Madison and has spent
his entire life in the Madison community. He and Mrs. Hall and their
son, George, who is an employee of the state highway department, live in
north Madison where the Halls went to housekeeping.

At the time Mr. Hall started carrying the mail there weren't any gravel
roads in Monroe county. At the present time, his route is graveled all
but about three miles. Route 4 covered twenty-eight miles when he first
was carrier. At the present time, the route takes in forty-eight miles.
Hall, like other rural carriers, could relate many humorous as well as
sad incidents that have taken place while as a carrier. He started with
the horse and cart and horseback for transportation but a few years
later he started out in a Model T, then came the Model A. Hall says
that during his almost forty-three years as rural carrier, he had bought
thirty -one Chevrolets from Del Miles.

Mr. Hall, for many years, has been quite active in stock buying and
trading."
