Ortley Post Office, about 1964
From Ortley native Rev. Brian Davidson:
Attached is a picture from circa 1964 of the Ortley Post Office just after Dad [Lester Davidson of Davidson Oil - ed.] remodeled the inside and painted the outside. This is the building that most people my age remember as the Ortley Post Office, now sitting at the museum in Webster. Unfortunately the picture on their website shows the building after years of neglect.
Milton From shipped a lot of frogs from that building over the years. Dad always made sure that a proper flag was flown each morning and taken down and folded every night.
Editor's note: The website Brian mentions is the Museum of Wildlife, Science, and Industry, at www.sdmuseum.org.
