Delmar Road Rural Telephone Company - 1910

On August 20, 1910 an agreement was signed between The Diamond State Telephone Company and The Delmar Road Rural Telephone Company.  The agreement was for the Delmar Road Rural Telephone Company to buy from The Diamond State Telephone Company two and one-fourth miles of #12 B. W. G Galvanized Iron Wire Circuit on 100 poles for $45.00.  The Delmar Road Rural Telephone Company consisted of 16 people including D. J. Richardson acting as their agent.   It was Signed by; D J Richardson, Dewitt Rounds, Z E Ennis, S. B. Marvil, Walton Figgs, Enoch J. Evans, C. A. Hastings, H C Hurley, H T Davis (or C S Davis), William  R Ellis, E n Shockley, B T West, T L Adkins, J A Jones, Harry Littleton, and J G Farlow.

Now for what reason these people would form their own very small telephone company I do not know.  Most lived on Jersey Road where the two and one-fourth miles of line was.  I found no other mention of this company anywhere other than the agreement.  Perhaps at the Maryland public service Commission there is an old record. 

Note: B. W. G. stands for Birmingham Wire Gauge.
