Postmaster A.B. Couch hand-canceled mail on Dec. 10, 1992, inside the Mistletoe post office in Owsley County. For 11 months a year, about 240 letters a month roll through this post office. But when Dec. 1 hits, it is swamped with at least 10,000 cards and letters. Like Christmas and Rudolph, Fla; North Pole, Alaska; Santa Claus, Ind.; and Snowflake, Ariz., Mistletoe is a sought-after postmark. The cancellation mark, a silhouette of two youngsters kissing under a sprig of mistletoe, was designed by Couch’s son, Wendell. The post office closed on Dec. 30, 1999. Photo by David Perry | Staff
