  • Historic Mills of Ozark County, Missouri the Era of Grist Mills
    Historic Mills of Ozark County, Missouri The Era of Grist Mills Early Missouri settlements – no newspapers, poor roads, and slow transportation. No matter how financially independent people were, they all needed to have their grain ground for meal and flour. “Going to the mill” was a way of life and an adventure for the entire family. The Era of Grist Mills Gathering place and social center – settlers had the opportunity to become acquainted with others many miles away, and to discuss neighborhood, county, state and world news. It was common for farmers to bring their whole family and camp near the mill for two or three days waiting their turn to have their grain ground. Many romances and marriages were the result of gatherings at the mill. Mills in Ozark County, Missouri Missouri’s scenic and swift flowing Ozark streams were naturals for powering the many mills which sprang up. Some research indicates that there were 14+ mills in the area prior to the Civil War, but none remaining after. The mills discussed here were all established post Civil War Era. Mills in Ozark County, Missouri Dawt Mill Hammond Mill Hodgson Mill Rockbridge Mill Zanoni Mill Dawt Mill North Fork River Built in 1901 by Alva Hodgson The mill burned and was rebuilt in 1909 Dawt Mill Purchased by Dr. Ed Henegar Major renovation on the mill and grounds began in 1995 Dawt Mill Today Restaurants, lodging, entertainment canoe/kayak rental Hammond Mill Little North Fork River Constructed in 1905 by John W. Grudier “Hammond” vs “Almond” Hammond Mill Milling ceased in the 1940s shortly after the Bank of Hammond closed Other business buildings were sold for salvage or left to the elements All that remains (besides the mill) is the bank vault.

    The Norwood Index A few years of this newspaper "survived" to be microfilmed. What follows are genealogical excerpts from those papers. Dates of the newspapers serve as division points. The paper was published on Thursday. In obits, I have omitted extraneous comments that do not contribute genealogical info. January 6, 1938: The following account of the accidental death of Martin Killian who was killed at Fresno, Calif., December 26, 1937, by a hit and run driver, was sent us by Mrs. Philip Killian of San Jose, Calif.: "Martin J. Killian, 48, a lineman for the San Joaquin Light & Power Corporation for 15 years, residing at Willows and Kerckhoff avenues, was killed instantly while walking home on Ventura Ave. His body was carried nearly a block by the speeding automobile before it fell to the side of the road. There was no witnesses to the accident, nor could the officers find any shattered glass or other clues to the identity of the death car. Coroner J. N. Lisle, who took charge of the body, said that Killian died of internal injuries and fractured skull. Killian is survived by his widow, Lula Chloe; a daughter and two sons; two brothers and two sisters, Frank Killian and Mrs. Eupha Ryan of Norwood, Mo., Philip Killian of San Jose, Calif., and Priscilla Wilson of Washington. Elder L. E. Falkenberg officiated at the funeral rites which were held at 2:30 Wednesday afternoon, December 29, at the Lisle funeral home. Burial was at the Belmont Memorial Park." Killian's brother, Maynard, was killed in a car accident in California 8 years ago, and another brother, Henry, was murdered in his home near Norwood 7 years ago last fall.

Copyright©2011 by Kenneth W. Brown Springfield, MO 65809 Foreword from Ken Brown The Ozark Uncle, Springfield, MO eMail: [email protected] In March 1887, the Douglas County Herald came into existence and has been published on a weekly basis ever since. Today, microfilm copies of the Herald from those early years provide the most complete and fascinating story of the county and its residents ever written. This history, however, does not give itself up easily; one must peruse each issue of the Herald for a period of years to gain an understanding of the daily life and the issues that concerned our Douglas County ancestors. My personal fascination with the old issues led to the preparation of this volume of excerpts which was transcribed from the Herald for the years 1887 through 1899. Almost all the excerpts were obtained from two pages of each issue--the editorial page and the local news page. During those early years, the remainder of the paper was filled with “ready print,” i.e., state and national news that was funneled to the paper from outside the county.

  • Life with Logan
    Life with Logan A tribute to Logan Brown (b. 1925 - d. 2018) by his wife of 65 years, Cinita Davis Brown Graphical assistance provided by Cinita’s Davis cousin, Ken Brown Photo above: The date was September 17, 2013. Logan was sitting on the couch when UPS delivered the fi rst draft copy of our book eventually titled “Bryant Creek Pioneers--Thomas S. Brown and John Burden.” A camera happened to be on the coff ee table. I handed him a book, picked up the camera, and snapped this picture. His “smile’”tells how pleased he was to know some of the Brown history, stories, and pictures would be preserved. Page 2 Narrative by Cinita (Davis) Brown My Logan enjoyed chocolate cake but he didn’t enjoy funeral service videos! He did enjoy the handouts that I sometimes made with my Davis-side cousin, Ken Brown, when a relative passed away. Logan (my love), I hope you enjoy this one made especially for you. LOGAN BORN AT ROCKBRIDGE On July 20, 1925, Logan Brown, son of Walter H. and Anna (Hicks) Brown, was born in Ozark County, Missouri, on the Hoover Place above Rockbridge.

  • The Bryant Creek Assessment Project Ozark Chapter Missouri Master
    The Bryant Creek assessment project In Douglas and Ozark counties, Missouri An ongoing Volunteer water quality monitoring Project Of the Ozark chapter of Missouri master naturalists Updated through March 29, 2013 The Project In Spring 2010, members of the Ozark Chapter of Missouri Master Naturalists undertook an ambitious project to conduct chemical and biological monitoring at every mile of the “floatable portion” of Bryant Creek, in Douglas and Ozark County, Missouri. Beginning at the Vera Cruz MDC Access (“Mile 0.0”), and continuing to the creek’s confluence with the North Fork of the White River, the group completed an initial survey in May 2010, providing GPS coordinates for forty-nine sampling sites, collecting readings on turbidity, pH, air and water temperature, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, and phosphates at each location. An effort, hampered by high and dangerous water conditions, was made to provide macroinvertebrate collection data at each point. This portion of the project met with limited initial success, and only about one quarter of the sites were initially sampled for aquatic macroinvertebrates. All data collected was submitted to Missouri Stream Team volunteer water quality monitoring personnel in Jefferson City in May 2010. In addition, an initial report, A Biological and Chemical Assessment of Bryant Creek in Douglas and Ozark Counties, Missouri, was completed to summarize the findings, with copies furnished to Missouri Stream Team personnel. This current report is an effort to provide a continuing, ongoing report of subsequent annual samplings at each site. Throughout the report, “BCAP” signifies “Bryant Creek Assessment Project”, and the sampling sites are numbered consecutively, upstream-to-downstream, from 1-49.

These counties include Douglas, Howell, Ozark, Texas, Webster, and Wright. The North Fork Watershed in Missouri constitutes approximately 76% of the total area of the North Fork Watershed with the remainder in Arkansas. The watershed is bound on the north by the Gasconade and the Big Piney Watersheds; on the east by the Jack’s Fork, Eleven Point, and Spring River Tributaries Watersheds; and to the west by the White River Tributaries (Bull Shoals Reservoir) Watershed and the James Watershed. For the purposes of this document, the Missouri/Arkansas State Line represents the southern boundary of the watershed. Two major streams drain the North Fork Watershed.
