By Mike Watson
Adair County Historian

Outside of my immediate family, Emma Lloyd is one of the first people of whom I have a memory. Having known her all my life, I had not seen her in some years and the family have our sympathies; I know she will be greatly missed by all who knew her. Our mother and Aunt Ella loved her very much.

In the late 1960s or very early '70s, there was a photo spread in the Columbia, KY, Daily Statesman on the Cundiff post office with postmaster Emma Lloyd and rural carrier McKinley "Preach" Hoover.



Three of those photos are attached: one taken from the road, the second from just in the post office yard, and third inside, with a good close up of both. - Mike Watson
