    Morris Bebb, 92, of Winona Lake, is believed to be the last pony express driver living. Bebb has resided in Winona Lake the past 23 years with his wife who is 87 years old and his daughter, Louise Bebb.

In 1872 he was the pony express driver and carried the mail from Flandreau, Dakota territory, to Lake Benton, Minn., a distance of 25 to 30 miles. After a year as pony express messenger, Bebb retired from that work and turned his attention to farming. From Dakota he went to Iowa then to Winona Lake.
