Bringing in the the . early days people living the Castle Valley area made long hazardous journeys on horseback over the mesas to the railroad town of Cisco for supplies. The supplies were then floated by raft down the Grand River from Dewey and unloaded at the mouth of Professor Creek, or packed in by mule trains which forded the river. In 1879 Professor Sylvester Richardson settled at the mouth of Professor Creek. He built a small cabin and later converted it into a store when he built his home in Professor Valley. Because the supplies were unloaded at the mouth of Professor Creek, it became a gathering place for area people and good spot for a town. Richardson applied for a post office permit, which was granted on September 15, 1886. Jennie Eastman became the postmaster after Richardson, on July 9, 1900. She also ran a store and a hotel. The town of Richardson has been forgotten by all except a very few people. The record of appointments of postmasters reminds us of this deserted town in Grand County. Richardson eventually reverted to ranches. Billy Brown and Jack Welch settled on ranches-on- e on each side of Professor Creek. Joseph Titus, one of the first settlers of Indian Creek, disposed of his interest there and bought the two ranches from the Ed Taylor estate. He and his wife operated the ranch and cattle outfit for twenty-fiv- e years. Present owners are Mr. and Mrs. Peter Lawson. ' Photo, Grand Memories, Utah Daughters of Pioneers In |
