This certificate is dated May 9, 1876 and names Lyman G.(Granger) Wright, son of Pierce Granger Wright, as postmaster of Justice, Nebraska. This town was later (1881-?) renamed to Martinsburg (sometimes spelled Martinsburgh) in Dixon Co., Nebraska. I had to piece two scans together, since this document is exactly twice as large (14" X 22") as my scanner. This certificate is among the many photographs and documents that have passed down through my family, most recently to my mother, who collected them from among my grandmother's things when she died. My grandmother, Ella Faye (Asbury) Larner, was Lyman's granddaughter and grew up in Brewster, Washington, where Lyman lived for many years and died in 1925. He is buried in Brewster at the Locust Grove Cemetery.
