Eldred, Mrs. Charles Kono, Estelle Cryne Hagburg, Orrissa Cryne Elwell, Mrs. G.S. Cryne and G.S. Cryne. The city was named for British Prime Minister William Ewart Gladstone. Settlers made use of available resources including underground coal, clay for brick building, and agate sand deposits, in demand by the railroad companies, and raised high grade horses.
