They had a small grape arbor and Sam made the communion wine for the church. When his grandson, Byron, came to visit, he usually got sick. "Pa" Barrett would give him a small sup of the wine for his upset stomach. Byron always wanted more. "Its good" he would say, but he never received any more than the small sups. Samuel and Mary were the Post Masters in Harrrodsburg. The mail was dropped off at the train depot and was picked up by hooking the mail bag. The depot was located across old St. Rd. 37 East of Harrodsburg. They walked, rode a horse and buggy, or just rode a horse to pick up the mail. When this depot was discontinued they sold off the items. Wilbur Barrett has a lamp which came from the depot. After the post office was built, up in town, the mail was delivered by other ways. Mary and her daughters worked in the post office till they retired. The boys, Byron and Wilbur, after starting work in the stone quarries in Monroe County always had to pay their Dad room and board.
