People of Marysville

Many lists. One searchable community record.

Historical names rarely live in one neat source. This index brings seven curated lists together while preserving the role, year, spelling, notes, and research links attached to each original record.

It is a working research resource, not a claim that every list is complete. Source notes and known limitations remain visible so future discoveries can improve the record.

Leonard E. Amundson

Postmaster

Appointed
June 26, 1967

Robey W. Berry

Officer-in-Charge

Appointed
April 6, 1979

The local ledger groups his officer-in-charge period as April 1979 through December 29, 1979. USPS records give April 6, 1979 as his appointment date and December 1, 1979 as Bernard G. Pelsma Jr.’s appointment date, so the ledger range is retained only as conflicting local information.
