Now you Know...The
answer to last week's question: The Langford-Wilson House at
110 McNulty Street was owned by Miss Frances A. Powell. She
was the first female Postmaster in Blythewood. After 1919 the
building was occupied as a grocery store and later as a post
office in the early years of H.B. McLean's term as postmaster.
It was also a branch of the Richland County Public
Library in the early 1940s. Bob M. was the first to write in
the correct answer! Thanks for reading the newsletter!

were paved in 1939). George graduated from Blythewood School in
1917 and went to Clemson. He later published over 100
scientific articles and finished his career as the Maryland State
_________. What was his job?
