J. L. Mitchell became the owner of the North
Mine #7. He recruited people from Southern States to come to
Royalton to work. He brought them here on the railroad. Since
no homes were abailable in the fast-growing town, he had box
cars set up for homes and called it New Camp. It was part of
his addition to Royalton in which he designated two blocks for
a school ground and one block for a park. He bought houses in
Hymera, Indiana, transported them by railroad, and set them up
just west of the mine. These were erected along North Main Street,
but everyone called it Hymera Row. |
