Early Stony Plain Postal Service 1004 0

A series of stamps depicts milestones and postmasters in the history of the Stony plain mail service. The far-left image on the mural depicts John L. McDonald, the community’s first postmaster, who had applied for the post office position in 1892 and obtained the name “Stony Plain”. George Sutherland was the first official mail carrier, riding his horse into Edmonton to collect mail.
