RURAL ROUTE CARRIER NAMED FOR SHELDON
Dan Schlotman Named for Route Two; Will Begin Duties July 6, 1937
Announcement is made this week of the appointment of Dan Schlotman as rural mail carrier on route two out of Sheldon postoffice. The announcement comes about eight months after thirty-nine had written the examination for the job at Watseka.
Dan is quite well known to Sheldon people, having been employed for the past four years in the Texaco service station across from the postoffice and three years of that time he spent as manager. He made a wide acquaintance of the general public in his four years there.
Mr. Schlotman will take over the duties of the route on July 6. Harry McKimson has been the temporary carrier on the route for many months since the death of Mark Chapman, who was the rural carrier.
Wendell Berry, formerly with the Sheldon Hatchery, will take over his new duties Monday morning at the Texaco station, where he will take the place of George Quinn who will be advanced to the position vacated by Mr. Schlotman.
