I think that was Richards Station, it was even on the state map until a few years ago. Mr. Richards, an early settler, was a farmer and stock dealer. His, is the big barn that I mentioned before. If you go east and turn south at the first road, you can see the old barn. Keep on that road and you end up at the west end of Marilla Park. He was also the postmaster out there, but he lived in town in his later years. Apparently, it was a political appointment, the post office died about the same time he did.
