A great many things can happen in 100 years. Growth of Springfield from. en unclaimed expanse of timber. upon which white nien had not set foot to Taty & more than 60,000 Inhabt- tants is one of them.
Up until 1928. none but Indiani's, Delawares and Kickapoos, had made their abode In this vicinity. according to . llistorica! . data found among ;the papers of / Mrs. . R. Orpbella Beaman, long time resident of Springfield who died in the summer of 1927. Dir covery of information concerning the early. settlement of Springfield also was made by Walter A.

Bị for at ts known, the firet white toma to walk over the site of the presat dty were J. P. Campbell and Madison Campbell, brothers, who marked off claims here in the fall of 1928 after riding horseback through Arkansas from Maury coun- ky. Tennessee.
They returned with their families in March. 1830 -and pully' bowy
Burnett and John William Fulbright. This latter settled beatde Fulbright spring. several miles northwest, which hus riran the dity its major water supply for many years.
Needed Survey
By 1838 the settlement was large enough to need a survey. Bince there were no public funda, J. P. Campbell donated 50 acres for a townsite. The lota were sold at suction and the plusitus used for erection of nec-
... camp-
bell followed the example of his home municipality. Columbia, Tenn., and had the four main streets terminating at the center of each side of the publia- square.

James Carter put up and operated the first blacksmith shop. not for from the northeast corner of the publio square.
Early routes of travel around Springfield were merely footpaths or. at best. bridle fra !! s. Most of them followed the old Indian trails. As soon as the country was organized the people began to establish outalde communicn'tons by means of ronds. Discussed Roads
At the first term of county court the matter of public highways was discussed. It was recorded that "The
ware town, and thence to Fayetteville, in Arkansas territory. be and the same la hereby derlared to be a public high- way in Groene cont ::.: :o) the state
Jine. Another order of that initial term of the court appointed slx com- missioners to "view. lay out and mark a public road or highway from Springfield, In Greene county, west- wardiy until 1. atrikes the main fork of the Six Bulls, at or near Samuel Bogard'a, then in the direction of Fayetteville until it reaches the atate line. Another road was ordered es- tablished from Springfield to Bran creek. Forsyth, the county seat of Taney, is at the mouth of this stream and the road bears the name of the town.
Toed Steamboats
As soon as regular lines of steam- bosta were put in operation on the Missouri .river, it was found conven- Sent to ship goods from St. Louis hy water to Boonville, then haul them to Springfield. Old Franklin was an- other of the points to which goods were shipped by water.
Cloth for the ordinary wear of both men and women, with the exception of a small amount of calico and its"" lin, was the product of the howperdida looms . of the plousers. . . On " pearly. every. porah stood a great four-posted loom. These crude machines produced a very strong cloth, either hul wool or wool and cotton mixed. The com- bination material was called "Jeppe". and furnished the cloth for the men's. aults. It was dyed with white wal- nut of other natural: dye stuffs fur- minhed by the woods.
No Post Office
In the early days, there were no postal facilities. In 1830 the nearest post office waa the Harrison's atore at the junction of the Little Piney and Gasconade rivers, '100 miles from bere."
'Junius T. Campbell hamed postmaster when the first post office was established in Springfield in 1834. . The office. was located in a" house. bewed from loge, north of the square. Banks In 1845
