Biographical History
In July of 1869 Adams Earl, Robert Breckenridge and Henry S. Mayo led the organization, in Tippecanoe and other Indiana counties, for a Lafayette, Muncie and Bloomington (Illinois) Railroad Company. In late August 1869 Tippecanoe County voted to buy 373,000 dollars worth of stock to help build the proposed line through Tippecanoe, Clinton, Tipton, and Benton Counties. After many financial problems and legal battles, the Lafayette, Muncie and Bloomington Railroad was completed and connected Muncie, Indiana and Bloomington, Illinois via 195 miles of track. It operated fairly regularly from 1874 to 1876.
