Pioneer Auto Bus Line Operator in Lawrence County
Wyatt R. Campbell of the Campbell Undertaking Company operated one of the region’s first motor buses between New Castle and New Wilmington chiefly serving Westminster College students. The 1910 bus, a 15 passenger Jackson build, faced early mechanical hiccups and rough roads, but marked the era’s first public service. Campbell also likely ran the district’s first automobile funeral using the bus as a hearse. Gasoline averaged 11 cents per gallon, with Campbell supplying his own fuel from a 60 gallon tank.
