Renner, Indiana
Renner is an extinct American village in Indiana's Blackford County.〔Blackford County Historical Society's "Ghost Towns in Blackford County, Indiana".〕 Although Renner has been listed as a “populated place” by the U.S. Geological Survey,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Geographic Names Information System: Populated places in Blackford County, Indiana )〕 this description is misleading. Renner was a railroad stop on the Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and St. Louis Railroad. The land around the railroad stop was originally used to supply timber for railroad crossties, and eventually became a livestock farm. Housing for the families of the employees of the livestock farm was also located nearby. Although it is not known for certain, Renner is thought to have been named for railroad executive John W. Renner.〔The Blackford County Historical Society believes that the Renner railroad stop is probably named after railroad executive John W. Renner.〕 Renner was an executive of the Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and St. Louis Railroad, and later the Pennsylvania Railroad, and retired with over 50 years of railroad experience.〔Pennsylvania Railroad, (p. 3. )〕 Another community, Rennerdale, Pennsylvania, was named in his honor in 1895.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Collier Township, Rennerdale )〕
The farm adjacent to the Renner railroad station was owned by Benjamin Johnson. It became known as the Renner Livestock Farm in the early 1890s, and produced prize-winning Hereford cattle, Hampshire hogs, and horses – including the horse “Poetry of Motion”, a champion show horse.〔Shinn, p. 36. (Portions of Shinn’s book have been reproduced on web pages. )〕 Livestock were shipped from the Renner station, and the railroad made as many as four stops per day. In the early 1900s, the Renner station was considered one of the principle railroad stations in Blackford County.〔Blatchley, (p. 473. )〕
In 1919, Johnson sold all the farm's livestock, and then sold the farm. The farm was purchased by Fred A. Stimson. Stimson had purchased some of the Renner Stock Farm's cattle, and returned them to the Renner Stock Farm. He successfully continued the farm's tradition of award-winning livestock.〔American Cattle Breeding Association, (p. 754. )〕 Early in 1927, Stimson sold the cattle, and general farming was practiced afterward. In 1937, the farm was sold to the Scripps Foundation in connection with Miami University (Oxford Ohio).
== History ==
The Renner railroad stop was located in Blackford County's Licking Township, northwest of Hartford City. (See railroad map herein.) The Renner railroad station was used by the nearby Renner Stock Farm to ship livestock all over the world. Although the rail line came to Blackford County in 1867, the farm was not started until the early 1890s. The Renner Stock Farm is credited as the originator of the beef cattle breed of Polled Hereford known as the Bullion 4th.〔Roberts, (p. 8. )〕
