This was a small town called Sadoria. The current address is 11083 E Co Rd 300N Chandlerville, IL 62627. Around 1960 I went up in one of the elevators as a kid. It was very scary as there was only a man lift. You stood on a wooden plate and held the lift rope. No safety features at all.
There was a railroad build through Saidora (corrected) around 1868 before this community had a name. It has been told to me that when one of the first trains stopped here that two ladies got off. One of them was named Sadie and the other was Dora so they named the town after them.
