Postmaster M.D. Firman
 

On account of the death of Postmaster Carpenter, of North Norwich, who for so many years had served the patrons of that office, it became necessary to name his successor, and M.D. Firman has received the appointment.

 

Mr Firman is about 61 years of age and was born in the town of Columbia, Herkimer county, but has lived in North Norwich [Chenango Co., NY] for the past 17 years, being the owner of a large farm.  For three years prior to the period of the civil war he lived in Norwich and was a clerk in the drug store of C.H. Williamson.  He later went west and for 34 years followed the drug business.  He then went to Kansas, where for seven years he engaged in stock raising.  Returning to Chenango county he settled in North Norwich.  Mr. Firman has always been a staunch Republican and was at one time a justice of the peace in North Norwich.  The location of the post office has been changed to the general store of Smith & Strading.
