Franklin "Frank" Bradford Cypher was born in 1875 in Pennsylvania and married Grace E. Hull (b. 1877) in Denver in 1902. Frank worked as a postal carrier in Denver, being promoted to postal foreman by 1920, while Grace was a homemaker. They had no children. This collection is a snapshot of their daily lives: how they groomed and dressed themselves for their days, Frank's tools of his trade as a carrier and then foreman, and some mementos of his retirement from the postal service. Grace passed away in 1944 and Frank followed in 1950.
