Thank you JRay38 for your response. I learned a lot from that email as I am sure everyone else did. Thanks

Here's an answer Free City Delivery In the early part of the 19th century, envelopes were not used. Instead, a letter was folded and the address placed on the outside of the sheet. The customer had to take a letter to the post office to mail it, and the addressee had to pick up the letter at the post office, unless he or she lived in one of about 40 big cities where a carrier would deliver it to the home address for an extra penny or two. Although postage stamps became available in 1847, mailers had the option of sending their letters and having the recipients pay the postage until 1855, when prepayment became compulsory. Previously, if the addressees refused to accept the letter -- and they often did -- the Post Office's labor and delivery costs were never recovered. Street boxes for mail collection began to appear in large cities by 1858. In 1863, free city delivery was instituted in 49 of the country's largest cities. By 1890, 454 post offices were delivering mail to residents of United States cities. It was not until the turn of the century, however, that free delivery came to farmers and other rural residents. Rural Free Delivery Today it is difficult to envision the isolation that was the lot of farm families in early America. In the days before telephones, radios, or televisions were common, the farmer's main links to the outside world were the mail and the newspapers that came by mail to the nearest post office. Since the mail had to be picked up, this meant a trip to the post office, often involving a day's travel, round-trip. The farmer might delay picking up mail for days, weeks, or even months until the trip could be coupled with one for supplies, food, or equipment. John Wanamaker of Pennsylvania was the first Postmaster General to advocate rural free delivery (RFD). Although funds were appropriated a month before he left office in 1893, subsequent Postmasters General dragged their feet on inaugurating the new service so that it was 1896 before the first experimental rural delivery routes began in West Virginia, with carriers working out of post offices in Charlestown, Halltown, and Uvilla. Many transportation events in postal history were marked by great demonstrations: the Pony Express, for example, and scheduled airmail service in 1918. The West Virginia experiment with rural free delivery, however, was launched in relative obscurity and in an atmosphere of hostility. Critics of the plan claimed it was impractical and too expensive to have a postal carrier trudge over rutted roads and through forests trying to deliver mail in all kinds of weather. However, the farmers, without exception, were delighted with the new service and the new world open to them. After receiving free delivery for a few months, one observed that it would take away part of life to give it up. A Missouri farmer looked back on his life and calculated that, in 15 years, he had traveled 12,000 miles going to and from his post office to get the mail. A byproduct of rural free delivery was the stimulation it provided to the development of the great American system of roads and highways. A prerequisite for rural delivery was good roads. After hundreds of petitions for rural delivery were turned down by the Post Office because of unserviceable and inaccessible roads, responsible local governments began to extend and improve existing highways. Between 1897 and 1908, these local governments spent an estimated $72 million on bridges, culverts, and other improvements. In one county in Indiana, farmers themselves paid over $2,600 to grade and gravel a road in order to qualify for RFD. The impact of RFD as a cultural and social agent for millions of Americans was even more striking, and, in this respect, rural delivery still is a vital link between industrial and rural America.

That means Rural Delivery - Aurora Station, OH They probably just dropped the mail at the Aurora Station and everyone had to go there to pick up their mail.

Thank you April for you time. I know exactly where Aurora is as I live in the next city Mantua. I have never heard of Aurora Station. I did just write to the Aurora office to inquire. I just threw this out on the list hoping someone might know something. I also never knew of this family living in Aurora only Ravenna and Freedom which are kinda neighboring city's Thanks for the research infomation. Kim

Then you have Belgrades Chicken (famous for their paprikash) Milich's Villiage Inn, Hopocan Gardens and the now gone Terrace Gardens all opened by Hunky's in the old days. Millich's Village Inn is owned by Dale Millich whose father started the business along with all the other Hunky's back then. Dale happens to be Serbian. I don't know of any Irish establishments in Barberton. And I'm Irish..... imagine that. In looking at another site which appears to have been done in 2002 (indicated by population as of) the Germans have the strong hold at 7,000. Irish at 3000 and Italian at 2000. The Hungarians come in at 1300 but if you consider collectively the other "hunky" countries of Serbia, Czech, Slovic, etc. the reach 3500. I did notice something interesting from this site was there were over 3000 homes built in Barberton between 1950/60 and over 2000 in the preceding 10 years. Right after the war the factories were booming. There are rows and rows of homes in Barberton still standing all along the rail roads, obvious communities at one time. I heard a lot of them especially I think those down on 2nd street (when you get out of the downtown portion) were built for the factory workers. It is very run down area now but I'm sure it was booming at one time. If you ever get a chance when you come to town, go to the Barberton Library.

I have started a Liptay (Lipte, Liptai, Liptaj) surname website at rootsweb and I'm collecting Ellis Island info and other immigration info on these names hopefully I will find the family of John Smith aka Liptay, and his hungarian ancestors. Thanks for the tip on Barberton being an Hungarian stronghold. I wondered how an immigrant could become a Representative, and I guess he really was representative of the county he lived in. I also sent for information to the Ohio Historical Society. They have records on all government officials, if I get anything good I'll pass it on to the list. I wonder if there was a Socialist Party in Summit Co,Ohio in the early 1900s? I saw a John Smith running on the Socialist ticket in 1910 or 1920, too young to be the John Smith I'm looking for but maybe his father?? I'm a farmer in Oregon and I rarely go anywhere but the Hungarian Hot Dogs in Toledo do sound good.

Have you checked the FHL, as the library does have info on those who entered the states prior to Ellis Island. They locate my great grandparents, one who arrived in 1866 and his wife who arrived in 1888 If you inquire the FHL, they may provide you the data you are seeking. Hope this helps you out in your research. Alan
