CHARLES P. A INS WORTH SELMER H. BERG Permission for the Rock Island Southern railway to abandon its branch line from Preemption to Sherrard has been granted, according to word received today from the Illinois commerce commission by J. B. Gillman.

vice president. The road la given the right to abandon its service on this stretch on a 5-day notice, but Mr. Gillman said the notice will not be' given Immediately, in order that industries using the branch may make other arrangement. tor service to Sherrard. In its petition for abandonment of the branch the Rock Island Southern cited a decrease in business handled on the branch, the decrease in population of Sherrard from approximately one thousand to approximately five hundred, with a correspondingly lower amount of freight to handle, and the inroads made by truck competition.

Mr. Gillman said the Rock Island Southern would very likely nle a petition under the finance docket with the Interstate commerce commerce commission for permission to remove its tracks on the branch line, which is 4.3 miles in length. He said, these petitions are in almost every instance- granted after permission has been given to abandon service and little difficulty in securing the necessary order is anticipated. In the event of its being granted Mr. Gillman said the right-of-way would probably be sold to nearby farmers.

The branch was originally built about thirty-five years ago. by the Southern to handle coal from the Sherrard mines when they were first opened. The road has also handled farm produce and other merchandise.

Schmidt came to Rock Island in 1854 with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. G. A. Schmidt, and has resided here continuously since.

He recalls Rock Islands earliest business district; a so-called street of clay and stone boasting of a few frame buildings, one of which was Fred Hass plumbing shop. It was located in what wasr then called Star block. "My father built the second building in Star block." proudly stated Mr. Schmidt. "It was a 2-story building with a barber shop on the ground floor and our living quarters on the second." Mr.

Schmidt was associated with his father in the barber business for many years. After 39 years as a barber, he entered the real estate business, in which he had been interested during the time he managed the barber shop. He retired 18 years ago. Mr. Schmidt is in excellent health, considering his age.
