The Twilight Zone: A Stop at Willoughby One of my favorite Twilight Zone episodes is called 'A Stop at Willoughby'. In this episode a stressed-out executive drifts off to sleep each day on his daily train commute and dreams of a peaceful place called "Willoughby" - the time is July 1888. You'll have to watch the show to learn the rest of this interesting story. One of the directors that worked with Rod Serling during this time in the early 60's was David Orrick McDearmon (1914 IL - 1979 CA). The McDearmon family married into the Orrick family in Missouri in the mid-1800s. Libby in FL tells us that Willoughby's sister Lucy Ann married John Kirkpatrick McDearmon and this is David's grandfather. So, I think this would mean Willoughby is David's great Uncle.
The Man behind Orrick Missouri Surveyors of the North Missouri Railroad hired W.W. Orrick, a civil Engineer from St Charles, to draw a plat for a new station in Ray County. Orrick was allowed to give the new village his name. Orrick Missouri was incorporated in 1873 and currently has a population of about 900.
