Photograph of Mr. Henry Albert "Bert" Coleman, a former Post Master in Cookstown, and his wife Evelyn. Mr. Coleman served as Post Master from 1942 until his retirement in 1976, and was the third generation of the Coleman to serve in the position. He was preceded by Frank Coleman, who served from February 1912 until July of 1942, and Henry Coleman, who served from September 1873 until February of 1912. As a result, the Cookstown Post Office was one of two in Canada to have been continuously served by the same family for over a century, according to a historical plaque erected by the Simcoe County Historical Association in 1974. The photo shows Mr. and Mrs. Coleman standing behind the post office counter.
