Bendersville station

Bendersville (colloq. "Asper's Station" by 1888) was a Gettysburg and Harrisburg Railroad (G&H) stop east of Bendersville, Pennsylvania, with facilities of Frederick A. Asper that included a 3-story brick flour mill, grain elevator, and warehouse built in 1883 (the latter's roof blew off in 1904). The depot was opposite the mill over the tracks.The G&H had begun shipments to Asper's mill by November 28, 1883, and when the route was complete to Gettysburg, Bendersville Station was initially the only stop designated as "station" on the original 1884 railroad schedule. The locale's additional industrial facilities subsequently included the 1888 Peters planing mill, a 1902 tannery, the Allen flint mill, a 1922 canning plant, and the 1893 Penn Tile Works (encaustic tile by J. W. Ivery). After the Asper's mill property was sold in 1913, the Aspers Produce Company and Columbia Flint Mill were acquired by the 1919 Aspers Fruit Products Company (liquidated in 1926). The railroad station was eliminated by the development of the concrete highway completed in 1927, the Glen Gary Shale and Brick plant at Aspers became a Pfaltzgraff facility in 1973, and a new post office building was erected in 2001 (the 1934 post office was in Clyde Plank's warehouse).The locale (Bendersville Station) and populated place (Aspers, the original post office name) were separately designated in 1979 for the Geographic Names Information System, and the Aspers census-designated place was named in 2008 to replace the 2000 census' Bendersville Station-Aspers CDP.

Floradale, Pennsylvania

Floradale is an unincorporated community in Menallen Township, Adams County, Pennsylvania, United States. The U.S. Census Bureau no longer recognizes Flora Dale as a census-designated place. It is located on Pennsylvania Route 34, 2 miles (3 km) north of Biglerville. The last updated census was in 2010, when the population was 38.The post office was officially named, Flora Dale, 1861 to 1911, when it was briefly changed to Floradale, 1911 to 1926, then back to Flora Dale, 1926-1957. Contemporary newspapers used both spellings interchangeably throughout its history. Flora Dale consists of a few houses along Pennsylvania Route 34, just north of Quaker Valley Road. The Flora Dale Post Office opened in 1861, with postmaster Elijah Wright and his wife Mary A. Wright serving until 1885. Three more postmasters, Amos G. Cook, Maria K. Cook, and Mary A. Hartman, served until 1919. The last two were sisters, Anna and Alice Black, serving until it closed in 1957. The community's only signage was its name on the post office which was removed when it closed, and since there has been no sign to tell others of its name. The community remains marked on most maps.Just beyond the hamlet is the Menallen Township Society of Friends Meeting House. It is the second meeting house, a brick structure built in 1880 to replace the first one, built circa 1838. It is surrounded by large white oak trees, whose trunks are over 2 feet (0.61 m) thick. Behind the Meeting House is a covered stable where one could tie up the horses. There is a cemetery immediately south of the Meeting House.
