No Mail Delivery In Montgomery During National Day Of Mourning

MONTGOMERY, IL — For the most part, mail will not be delivered — including in Montgomery — during a national day of mourning Wednesday to honor the late former President George H.W. Bush.

The U.S. Postal Service announced it will suspend regular mail deliveries, retail services and administrative office activity on Dec. 5.

"We will provide limited package delivery service on that day to ensure that our network remains fluid and we do not experience any impacts to our package delivery operations that might negatively affect our customers or business partners during the remainder of our busy holiday season," a statement on the postal service website reads.
