Title A name given to the resource Train Depot Fire, Litchfield, Nebraska, May 8, 1909 Description An account of the resource This photograph of the May 8th train depot fire comes from the Littlefield family papers in the collection of Terri and Dave Maban. The photo is one of the series of several photos taken of the Chicago Burlington & Quincy (CB&Q) Railroad depot fire in Litchfield, possibly for a newspaper that Joseph Littlefield's son(?) Clarence Littlefield founded in Litchfield in the late 1890s.

The depots often served as a residence of a local railroad agent rendering them temporary homeless in the event of a fire. The photograph comes from the collection of Terri and Dave Mabon.

Dear sister Lottie a little note to remind you that I have not forgotten your birthday I am so glad to see you looking well and we wish you many happy birthdays to follow. We were glad to have had the little visit with you and your family. So glad to have seen Harry again and also to meet his wife. She seemed very pleasant and interesting. Gill(?) and Verma(?) are such worth while young people. We hope that the elements will not dry them out this coming year but give them Nebraska in general an abundant crop. we too feel very much warmed over ------------------------- the condition of Josephine's little girl and hope that the will be marked im- provement when we hear again. Lottie I talked with our (?)est  Supervisor in our schools about having copies of mothers picture made – She knows the picture well. Thinks there is noone here now who could do it. There was but she has gone. She told megapho- tographes who might be able to do it I will see him soon – and let you know what he has today. A few years ago before the old home burned Ray Reas(?) took a Kodac picture of it I asked him when we were there in June to get it for me. He kept neglecting it and only got it two or three days before it (?) which I think was in September. I thought it was Pioneer History, Built before the Burlington R R came into Nebr. The Stage coach stopped there to lease and ---------------- take mail on their route. Freighters from Nebr City and Plattsmouth on the trail to Denver passed by long (?) (?) Mr Knowles held services there every other week on Sun afternoon and as I have said to our children – it was "Community Centre" without being named such Rays Kodac was very small but you can have the picture made larger if you wish. Lulu(?) had one made for one 7x5 inches. It is a very good picture if you would like to have a picture of the old house I will send you the film. I am enclosing the one Ray had finished. Theo thinks mine is 8x5 inches I went into the house but not upstairs Some changes which were an improve ment. You were in California then ------------------ your visits have been so short that we did not have time to think of nor talk of our doingo(?) . You must come when you can stay long enough that we will get caught up on our visiting. I am enclosing the picture of the old home that Ray had finished. The larger one that Lulu(?) Had made for me shows up better. We hope that you have a comfortable winter and keep well. With love to you and yours- Theodore and Anna Should I address letters to Verna(?) to Aurora or Hampton?

Dear Sister, I have intended writing you for some time in regard to the old home. But have had a slight cold and felt rather (?)less. Then as you know I have so much writing to do that some of it is pushed back for lack of time. I do not re-member just what I wrote you – But the Burlington (C-B-rd-) crossed with Nebr at Platto (?) in July 1869. And then then pushed on to Ashland and Lincoln. We were living in the house. Then I can re member that a number of the men used to come to our house for food we cooked and ate in the basement --------------------------- and slept I think on first floor you may re-member that the rooms were furnished by peace-meal and the room intended for our parlor not finished until J-M took the place over. The Congregational church was organized in Ashland in may 1871 So that I presume Rev (?) Knowles only preached from the time we moved in until then Rev Ara Farnell (?) you will remember was the first pastor at Ashland for the  Con- gregational church. The (?) (?) that did not pass our place. But the freight- ers going from Nebr City and Plattsmouth to Denver and other points west. I will keep on making inquiry in regards copy of mothers picture. If you want to write G.G. I think a letter to Siux Falls would be forwarded.
