Sessions Mantle Clock Mantle Clock, Garland Post Office d.1924 While WM. J. Williams was a clerk at the Garland Post Office, this clock, made by The Sessions Clock Company based in Connecticut, was found during remodeling. Williams felt a special connection to the clock, since both his grandmother, Nora Seawright Lemmon, and aunt, Grace Lemmon Hartman, were postmasters in the 1910s. Female postmasters have been a common occurrence since the days when the American colonies were still a part of England. In the aftermath of the Civil War, the number of female postmasters in the South rose when men who had pledged allegiance to the Confederacy could not take the oath to become postmaster. The clock has pencil markings, such as SP and C, which would have been used in retail at the time to signify cost. Although the Williams family believed the clock may have been acquired by Nora Seawright Lemmon, writing on the back which reads ‘SP 10-5-24 C’ indicates the post office acquired the clock in 1924, when Curtis D. Crossman was postmaster.
