Were there any other name changes between Chicago and Aurora?

I found my 1888 timetable and the station is now listed as Eola between Naperville and Aurora.  Archie

According to the Railway Gazette in 1870 - A new station has been established about half-way between Naperville and Aurora and thirty-four miles from Chicago. It is called " Decorah."

Presumably this became Eola.  Any ideas on when or why the change was made?
