Coilis Potter Huntington; The
railroad builder. Part 4 of 4.
In all of Mr. Huntington's railroad
negotiations he met with very little
opposition until dealing with the
Louisville and Nashville Railroad
Company. An article appearing in
the Louisville Courier Journal in
Aug. 1881 reported the following:
Mr. Huntington is rapidly closing
the links in his great
transcontinental line running
through from Newport News to San
Francisco. All that remains now is
to build a road from Memphis to
Houston, Texas and to a man who
has built over 5,000 males of road,
that link of 500 miles seems no
difficult task. It is said the road from
Louisville to Memphis will be almost
exclusively the personal property of
Mr. Huntington.
It is understood that Mr.
Huntington says publicly that he
was badly treated by the Louisville
and Nashville Company in the
purchase of the short-line. He claims
that he was a party to the purchase,
and when it was completed he was
ignored."
For a man who met with success
in nearly every venture, he failed in
his quest for a transcontinental line
of his own doing.
It is not known if Mr. Huntington
was distraught over his failure. In
any case, because of financial
problems with his Memphis to
Houston holding company, Mr.
Huntington sold out his interests in
the C&O Railway in 1888 but
retained the profitable Newport
News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock
Co., and went on to other
adventures. Collis P. Huntington
died peacefully, in New York, Aug.
13, 1900 age 79 years, 9 months, 23
days.
For several years citizens and
Civic Organizations of the city of
Huntington advocated a statue
honoring the man responsible for
their city. Very little was
accomplished until a new passenger
station and office building was
constructed on Seventh Ave.
between 9th. and 10th. Streets in
1913 and the Chamber of Commerce
became involved in pursuit of the
proposed statue.
On Sun., Jan. 18, 1914, C&O
President George W. Stevens, and
guests, Mr. and Mrs. Henry E.
Huntington arrived in Huntington
for a tour of the new station building
and the plaza where city officials
hoped to have placed there a statue
of the city's founder, Collis Potter
Huntington. President Stevens and
his party were met at the passenger
station by C&O official F. N. Endow,
Mr. and Mrs. B. W. Foster and
Herbert Fitzpatrick, C&O Vice
President and General Counsel. Mr.
Foster was president of the Central
Land Company and Mrs. Foster a
niece of Collis Huntington.
In a surprise announcement,
while taking the tour, Mr. and Mrs.
H. E. Huntington offered to provide
funds for the long sought status
provided the C&O Railway would
provide an appropriate base and, I
understand, was favorable to its
being placed in the station plaza
with the statue facing Seventh Ave.
overlooking the city Collis
Huntington founded. Mr. Stevens
immediately responded that the
base would he provided after
clearance with the Board of
Directors. He was positive they
would approve.
Internationally known sculptor,
Gutzon Borglum, who sculptured
the heads of four presidents on
Mount Rushmore in the Black Hills
was employed to sculp a likeness of
Collis P. Huntington, in bronze,
which took several years to perfect

grasping the head of a cane. Finally
the marble base was set and the
statue, covered with canvas for the
unveiling on "Huntington Day," was
in place for the grand affair.
The big day was set for Oct. 23,
1924. Passenger trains into
Huntington were crowed with
people who desired to be present for
the occasion. Ceremonies were
presided over by G. A. Northcott,
President of the Huntington
Chamber of Commerce. Precisely at
10:00 A. M., Rev. M. L. Wood
pronounced the invocation. Mrs.
Mary Parsons Shrewsbury,
grandniece of Collis P. Huntington,
pulled the string, the canvas fell,
unveiling the statue to a thunderous
applause of about 7,000 spectators.
Mr. Howard L. Ferguson, president
of Newport News Shipbuilding and
Dry Dock Co., presented the
monument to the C&O Railway and
city of Huntington at the request of
Henry E. Huntington, nephew of
Collis P. Huntington. President W.
J. Harrahan accepted the statue of
the C&O Railway and Mayor Floyd
S. Chapman, of Huntington, for the
city. Also accepting for the city were
Z. T. Vinson, C. P. Snow, C. R. Wilson
and John W. Ensign, eminent
citizens of Huntington. The morning
hours were taken up with speeches
by city, state, and railway officials
praising the man who was honored
at the occasion.
Mr. Huntington's status remained
in the passenger station plaza until
May 1977 when it was moved to
Heritage Village.
During the 1960s, as a member
of the American Train Dispatchers'
Association System Committee, I
made many trips to Huntington
meeting with C&O Labor Relations.
Walking between the passenger
station and the Prichard Hotel we
would stop to admire the monument
but knowing very little, at the time,
of the history of Mr. Huntington.

Three Medicines for
Heart Failure
Congestive t)e:irt failure (CHt:I
is a condit,n in which the heart
becomes less efficient in iis abilil)
to pump blood to vital organs dlhc
body. ,,s a result, blood accumu-
lales in the lungs as they become
congested with fluid. Congesti,m
in the legs and ankles may also
become apparent.
For decades digo.mt (a digi-
talis medicine that improves the
force of hearl contractions) has been
thc standard drug treatment for
CHF. Diuretics (sometimes celled
water pills) such as hrdroch/'))o-
thiusde remove accumulated fluid
by blocking sodium reabsorption
in the kidneys. Recently the Digl-
talis Investigation Group stud 5' con-
firmed the positive benefit o fusing
digoxin for heart failure. In th/.lt
stud5' of over 7,0(Y,) persons, tv.o
other medicines were als used -
diurctics and ACE inhibimrs. Based
on the results of thai stud) and
others, some physicians have ,,,tart-
ed using triple therapy for CHF -
digoxin, a diuretic, and an ACE
inhibitor medicine such as e#alo-
,ril. In one rexiew use of these
