In Scottsville, the mail came by boat, then train – Fluvanna Review


Evelyn Edson, president, Scottsville Museum
Time was, the mail came by boat. Twice a day the packet boat arrived, one from Richmond heading west and one from Lynchburg going in the other direction. Then came the train.
There was not so much mail in those days.  Sometimes the day’s haul would fit in the postmaster’s pocket.  The mail did bring newspapers, but not the quantity of junk mail we receive today.  Parcel post did not come along until 1913, reaching Scottsville in the 1940s.

Hello, Central! Scottsville's operator – Fluvanna Review

The phone rang in the middle of the night.  Miss Edith had just taken off her heavy leg braces, gone to bed, and fallen asleep.  But she was “Central,” Scottsville’s telephone exchange, and Edith took her responsibilities seriously, so she made her painful way over to the switchboard.  It was a man, clearly drunk and mumbling. “Who are you calling?” she asked.  “I want to call Heaven,” he replied.  “And who do you want to speak to?”  “Jesus,” said the drunk.  Edith replied firmly, “Luther Baber, if you don’t get off that phone, I’m going to give you Hell!”  And she hung up on him.  The caller got so mad that he threw his phone out in the middle of the road, an act he surely regretted the next morning. ....
