Title: Dixon,
Missouri Depot
Creator: Howard
D. Killam
Description: The
railroad depot at Dixon, Missouri, used
by the St. Louis-San Francisco Railway
Company. About 1872, the railway company
located the division end here. This added
a round-house for four engines and made
it a residence for four crews; this number
was increased during about three years,
until there were located four freight
and two or three passenger crews. For
the following two years or thereabouts,
the |
division
was located at St. James, but was
brought back about 1878, and remained until 1884, the
time of its removal to Newburg.

Title: Richland,
Missouri Depot
Creator: Allen
Johnson
Description: The
railroad depot at Richland, Missouri,
used by the St. Louis-San Francisco Railway
Company. Richland is the most robust
child of the St. Louis & San Francisco
Railway in the county, and proudly bears
the title of a “city of the fourth
class,” the only city or incorporated
town in the county, (1889). It was laid
out on railway land by M. Santee, a surveyor,
and located near the western boundary
of the county, in the fall of 1869. The
plat was made on both sides of the railway,
and the officials of the railway named
it in honor of General Lyon. The petition
for a post-office brought to light the
fact of another Missouri point bearing
that name, and at the suggestions of
Rev. (now) J. A. Bradshaw and Capt. L.
Withaup, a name was found to honor Mr.
G. W. Rich, a director of the old Atlantic
and Pacific Railway. (—State
of Missouri, |
History
of Pulaski Co., pp. 137-138.)
Richland
on the A. & P. R. R., 13 miles southwest of Crocker, built
in 1870 has about 500 inhabitants, and is one of the most flourishing
villages in the county. The Richland Institute, the best school
in the county is located here, and owns a substantial two-story
building furnished in modern style. The Christians, Methodists
and Baptists have organizations, but as yet no buildings. There
are seven stores, one hotel and one newspaper. (—Gazetteer
of Missouri, 1874, p. 457.)
