In 1952 Mrs. Lawson Faxon had been the Greyhound agent in Marion for 12 years and the company gave her a lot of personal credit for her part in the development of a great transportation system.
As a tribute to her efforts, Greyhound devoted its local and national advertising for the next three months to recognition of Mrs. Faxon and her thousands of fellow agents by describing how important their services have been to Greyhound and the communities in which they live.
In June of 2005 the Greyhound Bus Line was no longer operating a bus stop in Marion or 259 other places across the Southeast.
The company discontinued its U. S. 60 route, eliminating stops at Sturgis and Marion, and it closed the terminal in Morganfield.
Terminals in Mayfield and Hopkinsville also closed at this time, as did the bus stop in Cadiz.
The bus line had picked up and dropped off passengers in Marion for years.
The bus came through twice a day until Tuesday when the line stopped the route.
