Grandfather, Hugh Alexander McKenzie, mail clerk for the US Railway Post Office

From: "Lorna Xixis" xixis@hawaii.rr.com

I am trying to research my grandfather, Hugh Alexander McKenzie, who worked as a mail clerk for the US Railway Post Office. I believe he lived in Lodi at the time, ca 1906 and was employed for several years. One route we know was Oakland to Grants Pass, Oregon. He also may have worked on a train that went over Donner Pass that connected with a mail boat somewhere, before 1911. In a photo of him in the door of the car, there is a car number '5167'. Part of the name is cut off, but what we can see is 'ates Mail', below that, 'ST Office'. ...

In addition, I have a great grandfather that worked as a dispatcher for a railway in Reading, Pa, then in Newton, KS in the late 1800s ...
