From the DeRuyter New Era of DeRuyter, NY
Thursday, August 31, 1871
On Friday last the Steam Shovel at Crumb Hill loaded 105 large flats with gravel. This is the largest number ever loaded before in one day. Our depot buildings are in process of construction, and the prospects are that we shall soon have a passenger and freight depot for the accommodation of this station.
A large amount of ties, lumber, etc., is passing this station almost daily for the road west of us. A large amount of freight is being transported over our branch of the Midland.
