1907 - Experimental Farm of Norfolk & Western

[NW Mailing List]

Jane-
I was able to corner Mr. Dollman  this morning.  He said  that
he remembered very little about the farm at Ivor  because
his father bought his own farm in western Dinwiddie  County
when he was seven.  That's when the family moved  to
Petersburg (about 1923).  He noted that N&W closed  the
farm after World War I.
 
One of the farm's projects was to cut  timber and  turn
it into excelsior.
 
Regarding Zuni and the Blackwater River -- there's an  account
in the March / April 2003 issue of The Arrow you  might find
interesting.  It was related to me by Henry Nase, a native  of
Myrtle, a telegrapher, and a dispatcher who became  N&W's
Manager of Operating Rules.
