Virginia, Josiah Lamb had a station for the underground rr under his house in Galena. Doesn't it make you wonder, if he and his cousin????Zack Pennington were working together on this? From Josiah's house to Zack's might have been just one nights trip? Lots of things to speculate about, just wish we could find some PROOF!!! Thanks for the info.
