Adandoned Towns
Scattered over the county are several towns, or rather, sites of
towns, which stand as lonely monuments to villages once flourishing, but
abandoned to decay on account of some climatic or commercial reason.
Liberty, four miles and a half southwest of Bedford, is one of
these. This village was platted in 1829. and several small buildings
immediately sprang up. John S. Daughton, Frank Tilly, Alexander H. Dunihue
were among the early merchants. The health conditions finally became so bad
that residence there was dangerous. and accordingly the town was abandoned.

the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago railroad. The proprietor of the town
manufactured lumber.

25. 1842. and was situated on the southwest quarter of section 15. This town
has passed into history.

opened in 1850 on the southwest corner of section 11. During the first
years. the town was the terminus of the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago
railroad, and consequently became a trade center. The completion of the road
to the north ruined the town, however, and early death was its fate.
