And by this from the article on Dr. Gustavus Adolphus Durr; In the 1876s, the doctor owned a tract of land, consisting of somewhat over 76 acres and located south and southwest of Marmont. This land included the present JOHN HAWK farm and extended from the corner back of the Evangelical Church to the Doll Road, west of town. It was bounded on the north by the present. Mill Road, on the east by the section line road, on the south by the M. G. GOULD land, and on the west by the Doll Road. At that time there were only two structures on the land, one at the corner of the section line road and Mill Road, the other some distance down the section line road, (which evidently followed the present alley between Main and Ohio streets).

The 419 S. Main property was a part of the - 76.57A Dr. Gustavus Adolphus Durr described above that Henry & Laura A. Barnhisel and the Hawk family purchased.

From the Logansport Daily Journal page 3 dated Aug. 27, 1882:

All the preliminaries for the extension of the Logansport branch of the Vandalia railway to Lake Michigan have been satisfactorily adjusted, and upon compliiance with a few easy conditions the contact will be closed, and the work will be commenced and pushed to completion.

Readers of the Journal are familiar with the route of this line to Marmont (Maxinkuckee), and will have no difficulty in following it to South Bend and the lake...

With these advantages before them, our citizens are asked to consider one of the conditions above named, which condition is that the right of way shall be furnished free to the new line thorugh our county. The estimated cost of this right of way is from $7,000 to $10,000 and it is proposed to raise the amount by subscription. A consideraable portion of this subscription has already been secured, and a committee appointed for that purpose will make an effort to raise the remainder during the present week...
