forever USA by Sophia Dembling \ THE TALE OF A HAPPY UNION / \ / NCE UPON A TIME IN THE LATE 1800s, there was a small town, more like a village really, that came to be when a man named Richardson built a railroad. It boasted a general store, a post office and a drugstore. By 1910, it had electricity, and by 1914, a red brick school building. In 1925, it elected its first mayor, and by 1926 had issued bonds to support waterworks, so that residents could have indoor plumbing. In the 1950s, the U.S. Postal Service began delivering door to door. 24 utdallas.edu O http://www.utdallas.edu
