| The meeting date for the Minnesota Postal History club was listed incorrectly by me. It is the 22nd. They meet on the fourth Tuesday of each month. I had them listed on the last Thursday and there are five this month. |
| My cover this week is from Hyde Park, Minnesota. It has a manuscript cancel of January 2, 1874. The Hyde Park post office was re-established on February 15, 1869. It ceased operation on July 19, 1880. It operated prior to this time period from July 6, 1857, to February 25, 1867. In the last census Hyde Park Township had a population of 257. The mail these days for Hyde Park Township is handled by Zumbro Falls. |

| To sign up for the Toozeday Nooze go to our website at NORPS.org, there you will find a link for the Toozeday Nooze and on the event page where you can sign up to receive the Nooze every week and keep up on events and programs at the library as well as happenings with the local stamp clubs and shows. I have been told this does not work with some phones but should be accessible from your computer. You do not need to be a member of the library to receive this, but I encourage you to do so. We are run and organized 100% by volunteers and your donations keep the doors open and the lights on. |
