Hi Listers.... I grew up in Glenholme, and live in Maryland now, but when I was a child, there was a Lloyd Morrison family, there was Lloyd, his wife Edna and daughter LaVerne. LaVerne was an only child, was approximately four years older than I (which would make her 66 -67) and she went into nursing at the Aberdeen in New Glasgow. Edna died a couple of years ago, but when she lived in Glenholme she ran the post office from a room in her house for as long as I can remember. If you are in Glenholme, here are the directions to the house and I would suspect that either LaVerne may live there or someone bought the house. At the intersection of TC 104 and Rt. 2 (coming from Truro) make a left, the first house should be the garage and across from the garage is the house I grew up in, then go across the road, and there are two houses almost side by side, one was Irving Morris and his wife, and the next was Lloyd and his family. There was a white fence that ran along the edge of his yard and a plank walkway that led into the shelter for the post office. No better information, but hope this helps someone.
