July 7, 1904. "NEW RURAL ROUTE".-- August 1st a new rural route is to start from Sidney. It is to be a forenoon and afternoon route. The morning route goes out in the Jack Whipple country and up by Charles Polk's farm, and back into Sidney on the Sidney and Tabor road. The afternoon route goes out by Frank Liggett's, the Thornell farm, Mrs. Redd's and south to the township line and west to the Sidney and Hamburg road and back into Sidney. This route is about thirty miles long and has over one hundred families on it. It will give the farmers in Sidney township pretty good mail service. No selection has yet been made of a carrier. There are a number of applicants-- George Gould, Herman Reeves, M. J. Reed and Frank Miner. An examination is held to select the carrier. N.B.: The morning route as described would have taken in the southern part of the Lacy Grove neighborhood, northwest of Sidney and southeast of Thurman.....The afternoon route would have taken in the northeastern part of the Pleasant Grove neighborhood, southeast of Sidney and north of the road west from Riverton.--W.F.
