Hearing on Cotter depot discontinuance by Rock Island Lines
The state commerce commission held a Monday hearing on Rock Island Lines petition to discontinue the Cotter depot west of Columbus Junction. Cotter, origin of a Welsh settlement, grew from Clifton to Cotter after the 1878 post office and town plan by Miss Margaret E. Cotter, with all-women town officials once elected but few served. No depot agent has been present in the last year.
