Another Owensboro and Nashville station, 2 ½ miles north of Utica-Lewis Station (where US 431 crosses the tracks) was variously called Hickman, Crow, and Crow-Hickman Station, honoring Joshua G. Crow and Dr. W. A. Hickman who were instrumental in getting the railroad through their properties. On June 9, 1887 carpenter and storekeeper Orville O. Brown established the local post office which he named Browns Valley. This closed in Oct. 1933.
