News

CHRISTIAN COUNTY BY-GONESOur March 3 post announced that in 1920 a new handle factory business had leased the old Baptist Church. A reader asked where that location was and it's been found! This except from a 1906 Sanborn Insurance map shows the church in pink. North St. is now Hall St. and the street west of the building (Sycamore St. in 1906) is now Second Ave. that runs through the square. In 1906 the church was where the Ozark Police Department now sits. See MoreSee Less
