From Dubois County

Hey Reader,

Good afternoon. We've got a story on the governor's State of the State, more political candidacy announcements and more in the headlines.

Quick question.

Does anyone have any information on the mural in the Jasper Post Office?

Here is what I found.

It is a painting completed in 1939 by Jessie Hull Mayer titled "Indiana Farming Scene in Late Autumn".

The post office was built in 1937, so this was done shortly after.

Thanks,

From Dubois County with love.

Matthew and Amy Crane
