Doddridge 1895-1920
After the Texarkana, Shreveport, and Natchitoches Hallway had crossed the Spring Bank - Bright Star road, this point, which was now the new Doddridge, began to grow into a town. Cotton and timber products of all kinds were now shipped from Doddridge on a regular basis. Stores began to be built. During this growth period from 1895 through the 1920s, there were of course many other commercial enterprises in addition to stores. Blacksmithing, for example, was a highly needed service of that day to repair farm and home equipment and to shoe horses. Some of the blacksmiths who have had shops in Doddridge are Posey Westmoreland, Alonza (Lon) Mc-Carty, a Mr. Jansen, Donald Lloyd, “Old Man” Holland, “Old Man” Grain, and John Cabiness.
