H. I Poole, rural mail carrier on Route 4 for 13 1/2 years, retired Tuesday after having served at the local post office for 38 1/2 years. He was the oldest employee at the local post office in point of service.
Mr. Poole was appointed by Postmaster P.B.Ford and began work Sept. 1, 1914. For the first 3 months after his appointment, he used a horse and buggy, and then changed over to a car, this being the first car used on a mail route in Worth County.
He worked under Postmaster Ford until the latter entered the army in World War I, then under Acting Postmaster Carl Smith until the appointment of A. H. Overton. Mr. Poole continued under Mr. Overton and later U. C. Combs, and finally under Mrs. Nettie Woolard.
Mr. Poole delivered the mail on Route 1 for 25 years and then transferred to Route 4 which he has served for 13 1/2 years.
In speaking of his work, Mrs. Woolard said, " Mr. Poole will be a great loss to us. He was always co-operative and completely responsible. The post office staff all wish him many years of health and activity."
Mr. Poole lives at Isabella, where he and Mrs. Poole carry on many activiaties in the community. They have six sons and two daughters, all of whom are married except one son, and their home is a sort of headquarters for the children. When asked what he would do now that he has retired, Mr. Poole said he would give his attention to his farming interests and plans to incread his herd of purebred Angus cattle.
Homer Poole moved to Worth County about 1906 for him to open a school at Parkerville, in the lower southwest corner of the county. Then he married Eunice Murray of Schley county, and they bought the family home in Isabella, GA.
At one time he kept the county jail in a building next to his home, ran a store in the bottom level and managed 5 share cropper farms and with his sons, farmed himself.
