Lind- 1 T bergh, will have his name per- petuated in Frisco railway circles, with the re-naming of Coal Creek, Ala.. to "Lindbergh, Ala.." the general offices in St. Louis announced on June 16. Coal Creek, located twenty miles west of Birmingham, has been the home of a family by the name of Lindbergh for many years. All of them are relatives of the now famous flyer. Years ago when the Frisco built its line through to Birmingham. a pumping station was established at Coal Creek and Augustus Lindbergh, an uncle of the aviator, became an employe of the Frisco in charge of the Coal Creek station. He served until his death in 1909, and then his son, Oscar A. Lindbergh, then four- teen years old, took the job. A mem- ber of the Lindbergh family stayed on as pumper at Coal Creek until a few years ago when the pump was moved, to another location. A few days after the amazing Jump of Col. Lindbergh from New York to Paris in his "Spirit of St. Louis", J R. McGregor, district passenger agent at Birmingham received a letter from August F. Lindbergh, son of the origi- nal Coal Creelr pumper, now an at. torney in Birmingham, requestinp that the Frisco change the name of the station from Coal Creek to Lind. bergh in honor of the ocean-spanning birdman.
