Postal Cancellation

Title

Postal Cancellation

Description

Handmade quilt square which depicts tools of the local post office as part of the 15-panel Heritage Quilt of Cedar Mill. Description from accompanying pamphlet: LOCK 11 POSTAL CANCELLATION AND STAMPS by Margye Armstrong. This cancellation says Cedar Mill, Oregon and is dated July 3, 1904, the last date in the stamp owned by Bernard P. Young, a descendant of the first postmaster. Rural delivery came to the area about this time and the Cedar Mill service was discontinued. The small stamp on the right is the wooden handled postal stamp. On the left is actually a notary seal which is owned by the Reeves family who are descendants of G. H. Reeves, the second commissioned postmaster who operated a general store on the corner of Barnes Road and Cornell. The seal says B. B. Reeves, Notary Public, State of Oregon.
