Mitchell Gabbard Jr., mail carrier
Mitchell Gabbard Jr. was a dedicated man.
For 43 years he was a deacon in his church and very seldom missed a Sunday service, said his wife, Edith.
And for 10 years, he delivered mail to Owen, Gallatin and Grant counties, often taking the mail to the door for elderly people who couldn't walk to their mailboxes to get it.
"He was very well-liked by the community and knew everyone on his route well," Mrs. Gabbard said. The elderly and children on his route especially knew and loved him, his wife said.
