 Probably the most well-known instance of a child being mailed occurred on February 19th, 1914. The little girl's name was May Pearsdorf, who was almost six years old at the time, and she was actually mailed from her parents' home in Grangeville, Idaho, to her grandparents' house about 73 miles away for just 53 cents worth of stamps, which were actually pinned on her coat.
