Decatur County Journal
June 4, l89l

Another old landmark has been removed in Leon.  The old stage-line barn,
built in l863, was torn down this week, the timbers in it being as solid
as when first placed there.  NATE CRAIGO claims the honor of putting the
first team in that barn when he drove stage to this place.  Marvelous
indeed, are the changes wrought by the finger of time--the old
continually giving way to the new.  Some new and substantial
improvements will be made on the lot formerly occupied by this old barn,
and for this reason we note its removal with considerable degree of
satisfaction.
