At NKY Views, we try not to duplicate images already online at the Kenton County Library's Faces and Places section, which contains thousands of old Kentucky Post pictures among other things. But we're making an exception for this one, because it's a great image of the Morgan Post Office, and besides, there's a dog on the roof of that truck. |

Fairchild today received a consignment of bees from Morgan, Ky, the lot numbering 56 queens and a number of workers to keep the queens company. Each queen and her consort were in a little box, with ventilated sides and there was also in the box a quantity of honey mixed with sugar sufficient to feed for the journey.” San Bernadino Sun, September 11, 1912 |
