My grandfather, Jesse Stewart, was born in Humboldt, TN in 1889. (His birth name was Lewis, but we can't find any evidence of that. He was adopted in 1893 by William Thomas and Barbara Jane [Walters] Stewart.) He told us that he rode the train from Gibson Co., TN to Lamar County, TX. If you could share any information about the trains from that region, I would appreciate it. Thanks.
