Livestock Yards; Redmon Shipping Association William Gano was probably the first stock dealer in the community. The land where his pens were built, though, belonged to the RR. Later on several area farmers formed a shipping association. Bill Steward managed the yards for some time, then Abner Wood became the over- seer. The association bought scales and built a shed, but the land remained property of the RR, as it is now. Indianapolis markets were much more profitable than local ones, so neighb...orhood farmers would contact Ab whenever they had some livestock ready for sale. "He'd keep them in the yards, " his son, Shelby recently recalled, "until there were enough calves and hogs from different I'ar- mers to make a car load. Then I had to pLuiip water for hours at a time on them hot summer days, 'cause them animals sure did get thirsty. "The depot agent would let Dad know when the ne. Xt eastbound freight was due. We'd listen for it to whistle at Trimble's crossing out west, then go down and get 'em ready to load and send 'em out.
