Scenes from the Depot Cafe

Grandma Morgan and Orpha



Grandma Morgan and Edith Morgan Hersman

Owned by the Morgan family in the early 1900’s. Grandma Morgan cooked her delicious pies and all of the girls worked there at one time serving food to the hungry trainmen. The cafĂ© had stools that were constantly full. There was always a line at the depot for Carrie Morgan’s food. The picture above is of Grandma Carrie Morgan and Edith Ellen Morgan and the M & St. L Train Crew. This was one of the trains that passed through Albia on a regular basis. Grandma Edith said she knew all of the crew by name.
