Sunday Night
At Shoal Creek
While In Office, Receipts Have |
Jumped From $8,000 To $53,000
Retiring Pitgah Forest Postmaster, Joe
P. McLeod, has seen the poet office occupy
three locations in his 25 years of service.
It was first in a room in the old Patton
Store at the corner of the old Hendersonville
Highway and Ecusta Road. From there it mov
ed into a newer building next door that now
houses the Village Store. Finally it moved in
to its present private office building on Ecusta
Road.
Over the period, postal receipts have
gone from $8,000 a year to $53,000.
WORK TRIPLED
Joe P. McLeod, became Acting Postmaa- j
ter in 1945. Prior to that he had worked two
years as a substitute rural carrier, but this ser
vice is not creditable to his retirement.
At the time he became Postmaster, the
Pisgah Forest office was running about $8,000
a year in postal receipts. There were 2 em
ployees in the office and one rural carrier.
When McLeod retired this 10th of July, the ‘
recipts were $53,000 and there were 5 em
ployees in the office. There is still only one
rural carrier although his workload has trqpl* ’
ed
COUNTY GROWTH
When McLeod became Postmaster in 1945,
Transylvania population was considerably lees
than today. The Ecusta plant was pretty new;
the Carr Lumber Company was phasing down
but still much more active than now and a larger
percentage of the population was in the eastern
part of the county.
With the returning servicemen and the
general boom after World War II, it was ex- — -
pected that Pisgah Forest would boom too,
but this hope never materialized. The post
office load increased, but it was largely duo
to the general population increase. in the
county.
The increase was sufficient, however, to
warrant the modern new office building the
post office now occupies. It moved into the new
building in November, 1-961 after occupying
the building that now houses the Village Store ;
for 12 years after the first move from the old
Patton Store in 1949.
PISGAH FOREST NATIVE
Joe McLeod was born in Pisgah Forest
but moved to .Carthage, at an early age. He
attended public schools in Carthage and re
turned to Pisgah Forest in 1930. He worfced
at several jobs in and around Pisgah Forest
until he became Postmaster in 1945.
