Mail Wagon

    This mail wagon was driven by the rural mail carriers in Sandwich.  Elmer Thompson (1868-1944) had been a mail carrier for many years and most probably used this wagon as did his son, Guy Thompson (1890-1957), who took over the route in December, 1932.  Lena Thompson Nelson (1905-1994) substituted for her brother, Guy, and more than likely drove this wagon before the rural carriers turned to automobiles.
