NEW RAILROAD DEPOT FOR LEADWOOD

The construction of a new depot is well underway by the Missouri-Illinois carpenter crew. The north end of the old building was left so agent Eaton would have a place to carry on the business.
The first depot at Leadwood (then known as Owl Creek) was an old box car. It was used for a few months until the one that has just been razed was moved there in the summer of 1905 from Rock Springs near Doe Run. A few years later it was necessary to build an addition to it.
Russell Eaton has served as agent more than thirty years out of his thirty-seven years of service with the railroad.
The new station will be built on the same plan as those at Rivermines, Desloge, Festus and Herculaneum.
