Mary Marble, former Chivington, CO postmaster, presented on history of the town December of 2013.
This was another well attended program put together by Chuck Bowen when he was vice president of PCHS.
Mary worked as postmaster at the Chivington Post Office for 38 years—she retired in 1988.
She spoke about what life was life during her days in Chivington, including finding a bunch of rattlesnakes outside the post office. She also talked about how quick the mail service was.
“But kids, think about overnight delivery to Kansas City, MO from that little town of Chivington, You could send an order to Sears and Roebuck on a Monday and then on a Wednesday your order would be back,” Marble said.
