HISTORY OF RANDOLPH COUNTY
The original plat of the town embraced four blocks north of Franklin average price of lots at this sale was between $45 and $50. Before the sale began, Mr. Sturgeon ordered that lots 11 and 12, in block 12, be marked off to Patrick Lynch and a deed to them be made, he to pay $1 as recorder's fee. This, as Mr. Sturgeon said, was in consideration of the fact that Lynch had "held the city during the war without the loss of a life or a house." Among the purchasers at that sale were William H. Robinson, O. F. Chandler, Dr. C. J. Tannehill, Elijah Williams, John Grimes, Ernest Miller, C. Otto, J. G. Zahn and Patrick Lynch.
Immediately after the sale S. P. Tate began the construction of a hotel on the southwest corner of Clark and Reed streets. The structure was a two-story frame. John Grimes also began the building of a hotel on Sturgeon street, which, being completed before Tate's, is the first house ever built in Moberly. Messrs. Chandler, Otto, Robinson, Miller, McDaniel and other parties followed in rapid succession, and the noise of hammer and saw was heard everywhere along Clark, Reed, Sturgeon and Coates streets.
Adam Given owned a horse mill and sawed the lumber for the first house erected in Moberly. The house is still standing.
street and bounded on the north by the lands of the railroad company ; five blocks and five half blocks on the west side of the railroad, from Wightman street on the south to the railroad lands on the north, and from Sturgeon street on the east to the alley between Clark and Williams streets on the west; and also fourteen blocks on the east side of the railroad from Sturgeon to Morley, and from Wightman street to the township road on the north. At the first sale no lots on the east side of the railroad were dis- posed of, and the new buildings were erected on the west side. The first brick house built in Moberly was a dwelling on the southwest corner of Coates and Williams streets, erected by Perry McDonald. In the fall of 1867, another sale took place, at which a large number of lots on the east side were sold, and the work of extending the area of the city began. This sale also attracted many bidders, as live men had begun to appreciate the value of the location as a business point.
Since then many additions have been made, and the territory of the city has been vastly extended, the old limits being gradually filled with business houses and dwellings, the population steadily advancing, and the permanency of the location becoming every year more and more as- sured. The wooden structures at first built gave way to more substantial

brick edifices, the frame hotels and wooden store rooms were superseded by commodious and solid walls, and the small one-roomed dwellings were moved to the rear to make room for larger and more imposing buildings.
As a matter of history we record the names of the first dealers in the leading lines of trade: Dry goods, Tate & Bennett; drugs, O. F. Chandler ; groceries,-Lampton, who was immediately succeeded by. Martin Howlett; hardware, William Seelen; furniture, H. H. Forcht, and imme- diately after, J. G. Zahn, both houses being owned by E. H. Petering ; lumber, sash, doors and blinds, H. H. Forcht for E. H. Petering; jewelry, John H. Kring; livery, White Bros .; clothing, Levy & Krailsheimer; boots and shoes, L. Brandt; butcher, Henry Overberg ; barber, O. N. Kaare.
The first officers of the town were: Trustees, A. T. Franklin, pres- ident; Charles Tisue, L. Brandt, Asa Bennett and William Seelen; mar- shal, Martin Howlett; justice of the peace, E. Sidner; constable, Charles Featherston; notary public, W. E. Grimes; postmaster, Charles Tisue, who was also agent of the Merchants' Union Express Company.
Up to 1873, the year of the great panic, the amount of building and the increase of business were sufficient to justify the assumption of the now popular sobriquet of the "Magic City." Mining and oil districts have sometimes gathered larger populations in shorter time, but they have not carried with them the evidences of solidity and stability that marked the growth of Moberly. But the panic placed a temporary check upon the spirit of speculation and enterprise. It checked, but did not stay the progress of the town. Even under the most discouraging circumstances the work of extension was continued, and if there were fewer buildings erected than in previous years, still the citizens and property holders had unfalter- ing faith in the future of Moberly, and continued to build as the wants of the place demanded. Meantime Moberly had grown from a place on paper to a smart village, from a village to a town, from a town to a city.
On the 6th of June, 1868, the first board of trustees met, chose A. T. Franklin chairman, and appointed the chairman and C. Tisue to draft by- laws and ordinances. At a meeting of the board June 14, 1869, a resolu- tion was passed offering one of three tracts of land to the North Missouri Railroad as a site for the location of the machine shops, the ground and its appurtenances to be exempt from city taxes so long as they were used for that purpose. These tracts were the Concannton farm, 67 acres, northwest of town; a portion (60 acres) of the farms of Grimes and Meals, north of town; a portion (60 acres) of the Hunt and Godfrey farm

south of town. J. D. Werden was appointed agent of the town to confer with the directors of the railroad.
On the 20th of August the purchasing committee reported that James Meals offered to sell "near six acres along the West Branch Railroad at $200 per acre, and the remaining portion north of said strip and including · the ground his house is on, extending north to the north line of the land known as the reservoir land, at $500 per acre." No action was taken by the board on this liberal proposition, but an election was ordered for August 31, 1869, to take the sense of the voters as to whether a tract of 100 acres, to cost not exceeding $12,000, should be bought for machine shop purposes. At this election T. B. Porter, B. Y. N. Clarkson and Josiah Harlan were judges. At a meeting on the 4th of September, A. F. Bunker was appointed a committee of one to close the contract with the railroad company for the location of the machine shops.
On the 27th of June, 1870, another vote was taken to determine whether the town would purchase a tract of 104 acres of ground lying north and west of town for the machine shops. The result of this elec- tion is not recorded, but it was held to have been unlawful, having been held on Monday. A new election was ordered for August 2, 1870. The election showed perfect unanimity on the subject of the purchase, as there was not a dissenting voice; and at a meeting of the board of trustees on the 4th of August, twenty bonds of the denomination of $1,000 each were ordered to be printed.
At a meeting held August 19, 1870, William Seelen was required in addition to his duties as vice-president of the board, to "hear and try all cases for the violation of the city ordinances," and on the 7th of October he was appointed to purchase six street lamps. The bond of the town collector was fixed at $4,000; but in 1871 it was raised to $10,000, show- ing a hundred and fifty per cent increase in the revenue within two years. On the 24th of August, 1871, the president of the board was authorized to borrow "such a sum of money as he may be able to obtain at 15 per cent interest for the longest time he can get said money, for the improve- ment of the streets of Moberly," for which the bonds of the town vere to be issued. On the 13th of November, 1871, the proposition to donate money to the North Missouri Railroad Company for machine shops was renewed. On the 21st of March, 1871, the board of trustees accepted the proposi- tion of Dr. C. J. Tannehill to donate the block which is known as Tanne- hill Park and on which the public school building now stands, as a public park.

HISTORY OF RANDOLPH COUNTY
On the 25th of March, an election was held to determine whether the city should purchase and donate to the St. Louis, Kansas City and North- ern Railroad Company 200 acres of land lying between the west branch and the main line, for the erection of machine shops. The election resulted favorably, the board of trustees proposed to donate this land, also 618 acres one and a half miles west of that tract, and exempt the whole for twenty years from all city taxes. Another inducement held out was that the land thus given contained an inexhaustible bed of coal. Hon. William A. Hall was appointed the agent of the town to present the propo- sition. The contract was subsequently made and was ratified by the trus- tees of Moberly April 2, 1872.
At a meeting of the board on the 3d of April, 1872, W. F. Barrows was appointed to contract for the lithographing of seventy bonds of the denominations of $500 each, bearing 10 per cent interest, and amounting in the aggregate to $35,000, payable in ten years. He was also empowered to sell these bonds without limitation as to price. At the same time a special election was ordered to take place May 10, 1872, to determine whether the town would purchase 818 acres of land for the car shops. The election resulted in favor of the purchase by a vote of 299 for, to 4 against it, and bonds to the amount of $27,000 were ordered to be issued. On the 26th of August, same year, right of way was granted to the Mis- souri, Kansas and Texas Railway Company to construct their road the entire length of Moulton street, and across "any other street in said town."
An election was held February 1, 1873, to ascertain "whether a ma- jority of the citizens of the town are in favor of having the town of Moberly incorporated under a special charter by act of the legislature," J. T. Young, J. H. Burkholder, H. M. Porter, B. Y. N. Clarkson and T. P. White having been appointed in the preceding December to draft the char- ter. This election resulted in favor of the charter, and T. P. White was appointed to go to Jefferson City in the interest of the town. On the 5th of March, a legislative delegation visited Moberly and a supper was given them by the city, which cost $272.
The first election under the charter granted by the legislature was held April 8, 1873, and resulted as follows: T. P. White, mayor; council- man at large, C. P. Apgar; councilman: First ward, H. C. Moss; second ward, William Seelen; third ward, D. H. Fitch and B. R. White. Clerk, C. B. Rodes. At that election, also, it was decided to fund the debt of the
175

town. under the general law, by a vote of 509 to 4. The bonds of the city were ordered by the first council to be of the denomination of $500 each, to be issued to W. F. Barrows or bearer, payable ten years after date, redeemable at option of the city after five years, with ten per cent interest payable semi-annually. The bonds authorized to be issued amounted to $30,000.
