Summary

Description
English: Led by John Hale, four forward thinking business leaders (Parsons, Keathly, Hale, and Hancock) in the tiny town of Brooksville were eager to bring the railroad to their area. They formed the Brooksville Railroad Association and The Brooksville Telegraph Company and paid $20,000 to The Florida Southern Railroad to lay track twelve miles from the main line at Pemberton Ferry (Croom), to Brooksville. Bonds were sold and the Train Depot built in 1885. W.S. Hancock and Frank Saxon became officers of the telegraph company.
