Reading the list of officers of the 59th Congress, I see someone whose job I can't figure out:

Postmaster:
J.C. McElroy

What did the Postmaster do? Was it his job to oversee the nation's postal service? There doesn't seem to be a corresponding position today.

They ran the mail service for the House of Representatives, not for the country as a whole (that was, and still is, run by the Postmaster General). The position was eliminated in 1993, with duties reassigned to other personnel.
