Noah's Ark Star Route Celebrates 60 Years of Service
Gallipolis Eureka Star Route marks six decades with Noah T Clark driving daily from Bushs Mill to Gallipolis and Bladen to Mercerville delivering mail and freight. The line began in 1890 and evolved from Noah Sylvester Clark’s mule-drawn hack to a Greyhound owned bus operation, never missing a day aside from rare reports of one or two days.
