Ida Posten of Greenwood Lake (Orange Co.), NY
Anyone have any info on Ida?I believe she was the first postmistress in the US (in Greenwood Lake). She was my paternal grandmother, and as far as I can tell was born in Greenwood Lake in the 1890s. She was married to a Jenkins, but later separated/divorced, and then retained her maiden name. Her brother was Charles Posten, also of the same area in Orange County, NY. Her mother's maiden name was Zindel.
