Brotherston Documents
Apr 30^th, 2004 at 8:06pm

Hi All:

I'm posting two documents (in 2 posts) regarding Montezuma's replacement as postmaster immediately after his death. This shows that Montezuma was the Postmaster of Brotherston, right up to his death at 83 years old!

The post office was quick to follow up. The first document from them is dated June 25, 1907, (8 days after Montezuma's death) and the second one is dated July 2, 1907

And here is the direct link on the Canadian National Archives site that shows the time frame that Montezuma was postmaster as well as his replacement, Catherine Bender, that Mel's document above showed.

However, I don't know if I would classify his vacancy due to death as a "resignation".

At this time women were barely recognized as citizens, however the secretary or the Post-Office Inspector did attempt to amend these documents before sending them to, a most likely still grieving, Hannah Brothers.

When I view the attachment all I see is what looks like an index to the document. I don't see the actual document. Do You?

Am I missing something?

Oh! maybe you're refering to Mel's posted documents, not Melinda's?
