Lost: One Depot. Last seen in Newville. If seen, please contact Roberta W. Childs.
The Abbeville Southern Railroad came through Wells Station in 1893. It ran from Grimes through Headland, Wells Station (Newville), Capps Station, and Murphy Station to Abbeville. Mr. James Christopher Dunn became the railroad agent at Wells Station Depot in 1919. Although the name of the town, Wells, had been changed to Newville in 1903, the depot remained Wells Station. It is most commonly referred to as The Newville Depot.
