Linn Lodge No. 66, A. F. and A. M., was organized first in 1856; reorganized in 1898. The Odd Fellows Lodge was or- ganized in 1860, the A. O. U. W. in 1890, the Modern Woodmen in 1895, and the Modern Brotherhood in 1908.
BONNOTS MILL.
Bonnots Mill, originally known as Dauphine, is near the site of old French Village, the first white settlement in Osage county. The town was laid out by Felix Bonnot in 1852, and although the town retained for several years the postoffice name of Dauphine, it was known as Bonnots Mill, taking its name from the founder of the first mill at the place, Mr. Bonnot. The town from its earliest history has been a very active com- mercial center, being located both on the Missouri river and the Missouri Pacific Railroad and the shipping point for Linn, Loose Creek, Frankenstein, Vosholl and a large agricultural territory.
The town possesses a traditional interest. The outgrowth of old French Village, it dates its ancestry back to a very early period. In its earlier history the steamboat trade was a great part of the life and activity of the town. Many of the earlier citizens of the town were investors in and promotors of steamship transportation. Closely allied with river nagivation, the town has furnished many skilled pilots who have explored the "Big Muddy" from source to mouth.
Of its quasi-public institutions besides the railroad may be mentioned the Meyer-Morfeld Milling Company, owners of a merchant mill having a capacity of 75 barrels of flour and 80 of meal daily. The mill was established in 1887, remodeled in 1904, and equipped with gas engine and modern machinery in 1908.

The Bank of Bonnots Mill was established in 1905, with Alex Verdot as President, which position he still holds. Jos. F. Dubrouillet was the first cashier. He was succeeded in 1907, by A. P. Mertens, who is at present serving in that capacity.
The Catholic congregation acquired land for a church build- ing in 1905, and built and dedicated a church in 1906. It is commandingly located on a high bluff overlooking the Missouri river. Rev. Chas. Even has served as pastor of the church from its establishment.
There is no Protestant church in the town. The Methodists have a small congregation, who are served by the Linn and Cha- mois charges.
The fraternities have been the A. F. and A. M., and the A. O. U. W., now extinct. A Modern Woodman camp and a Catholic society are in existence.
Math. Koetting is owner of one of the largest lumber yards in the county.
FRANKENSTEIN.
Frankenstein is three miles from Isbell, the nearest railroad point. The town is near the site of where Mary's Help Catholic Church stood, which was build in 1863. Previous to the con- struction of this log building the congregation worshipped at the home of Wm. Thoenen. Later a house of worship was erect- ed on the land of Gottfried Franken and John Huesgen, about a mile north of where Frankenstein now stands.
The first store and postoffice at Frankenstein was con- ducted by Jos. W. Schrader, who was succeeded by Alex Koenigs- feld. The present large and commodious church building was erected in 1891 and dedicated in 1892. The first pastor was Rev. John Bachmier. A parochial school is maintained by the congregation. The town is located on a high hill and is surround- ed by a progressive and wealthy agricultural population.
FREEBURG.
Freeburg, originally known by the postoffice name of En- gelbert, was, until the building of the Rock Island Railroad, a very remote settlement. The first postmaster was Engelbert Franke, appointed in 1886. In 1888 the name of the place was changed to Frankberg. In 1894 Mr. Franke retired as postmaster and was succeeded by John Welschmeyer, who changed the name of the postoffice to Freeburg.

Adam Wieberg homesteaded the land on which most of the town is now located. The first business men of the town were John Welschmeyer, Engelbert Franke and Jos. Poettgen.
The St. Louis and Colorado Railroad, now the Rock Is- land, was built through, or rather under, the town in 1902. After the building of the railroad the growth of the town was rapid. December 26, 1903, Rev. Gerhard Fick was sent out by Archbishop J. J. Glennon to organize a Catholic parish. March 5, 1904, the present church building was completed. Under direction of Rev. Fick the school and sisters' house was built in 1904, the Ursuline sisters having charge of the parochial school. In 1907 the Catholic parsonage, beautiful in appear- ance and elegant in all its appointments, was erected.
The town has one bank, organized in 1905; one newspaper, the Freeburg Enterprise, established in 1903; two mills, one grain elevator, besides the ordinary commercial enterprises. The town was incorporated in 1909. The population of the town, according to the census of 1910 was 331.
LOOSE CREEK.
Loose Creek, originally known as Russellville, is one of the old towns of the county. August Pickineaud, a Frenchman, entered the land where Loose Creek is located in 1843. Wm. Muenks opened a store in 1845. The town was laid out by Surveyor Bovie in 1870.
The Church of the Immaculate Conception was organized by Father Helias, who in 1847 erected a log building for con- gregational worship, which was replaced by a brick building in 1867. The two-story frame convent building was built in 1876. The present elegant and imposing stone parsonage was erected in 1880. Loose Creek is populated almost exclusively by Ger- man people, whose thrift, industry and progressiveness is evident in the substantial homes in the town. An industrious and weal- thy class of farmers, with elegant homes and fertile farms, adds to the general prosperity of the neighborhood.
John Theodore Lock, who came from Germany in 1841, established an ox mill in 1854, being one among the first mills in Osage county. Patrons of the mill came from many miles distant and would remain sometimes two or three days for their "grist." In 1858 Mr. Lock replaced the celebrated ox mill with one of steam.

MEDORA.
Medora, known also as St. Aubert, was named for the wife of its founder, J. M. Morrow, who laid out the town in 1855 and constructed the first house. About the time of the Civil war Medora was the metropolis of Osage county, and was the base of the military operations at that time. A union church, dedicated by the Methodists and Christians, was built in 1870.
HOPE.
Hope, formerly called Boeger's Store, dates its history back to 1834, when B. W. Duncan erected the first building on the site. The land was entered in 1849 by John C. Brim. In 1859 Simon Boeger put up the first store building, which was acquired by W. H. Brinkmann in 1886. Stock & Keisker established a blacksmith and wagon shop in 1876 and in 1885 Mr. Stock built a mill, now owned and operated by A. H. Heidbrader. The first schoolhouse was built in 1848. The majority of the people of Hope and vicinity belong to the German Presbyterian church, a mile or more distant from Hope.
RICH FOUNTAIN.
The land comprising the site of Rich Fountain was entered by John Burns in the 30's and later sold to John Struempf, who in 1839 built a water mill, which was superseded by an ox- tread mill, and this in 1856 by a steam mill, built by Peter Struempf. Father Helias named the place Rich Fountain be- cause of the beautiful spring, famed in that whole section. Joseph Walter Schrader, a sturdy German character, moved to Rich Fountain in 1854, at which time there was a store, a black- smith shop, a tailoring establishment, a shoemaker's shop and a saloon. Judge Henry Schrader opened a store in 1865 and was postmaster for more than twenty years.
The church of the Sacred Heart was organized by Father Helias in 1840. The old log church, built in 1840, was replaced by the present imposing limestone structure in 1879, and dedi- cated the following year. The stone convent building was built in 1887. The old log school building, erected in 1845, was replaced by a stone structure in 1868. A large, attractive and commodious stone building was built in 1904.

The Bank of Rich Fountain was organized in 1913 with a capital stock of $10,000. George Holtschneider is president and H. J. Fick is cashier.
LUYSTOWN.
Luystown derived its name from Andrew Luys, who entered the land where the village now stands. The town is located at the convergence of two beautiful and fertile valleys. It is seven miles from Isbell, the nearest railroad point.
The first store at Luystown was established by Louis Poncot about 1878. The business was later acquired by Wm. Meuser, and in 1894 by Mertens Bros. The store is now owned by Wm. Mertens. A mill was built by John Theo. Lock in 1884. In 1889 P. Jos. Lock and his brother, Arnold, and Alex Koenigsfeld bought the property. In 1903 P. Jos. Lock became exclusive owner of the mill, since which time he has conducted the business. P. M. H. Vasen established a blacksmith shop in 1882. A public school is located in the town. Those of the Catholic faith belong to the Frankenstein parish.
WESTPHALIA.
In 1835 German immigrants, in search of homes, located on the Maries, near the present site of Westphalia. Among the first settlers were the Hesse, Schroeder, Huber, Dr. Bruns, Grammatica, Nacke and Hoecker families, thirty-five persons in all.
In April, 1838, P. Helias, a Jesuit missionary, having been sent out to found a central mission, came up the Missouri river on a boat. Finding this mode of travel slow and tedious, the zealous missionary, with his trusted pony, pushed his way into the interior of the country and in May reached the little settle- ment on the banks of the Maries. Finding a little log church where the settlers worshipped, he determined to found a central mission. June 28, 1838, he entered into a contract with F. Geisberg for a forty-acre tract of land which that gentleman had homesteaded. Here he founded his mission and named the place Westphalia, in honor of the province in Germany by that name and from where the most of the settlers of that day had come. Permanent homes were established and in a few years the little log church, having become too small to accommodate the growing population, the movement for the establishment of
20

a new church was inaugurated and in 1847 the corner stone for a new stone building was laid. Additions were built to it from time to time, the last being in 1906, under direction of the pres- ent pastor, Rev. F. A. Diepenbrock, the present large and imposing edifice representing the improvements made. The old log schoolhouse remained until 1886, when it was replaced by the present modern and substantial building.
The town was incorporated in 1905, the first mayor of the town being Henry A. Brune. The Westphalia Leader was founded by John H. Boss in 1894. Later the paper was acquired by Capt. Henry Castrop, its present editor, who changed its name, being now the Osage County Volksblatt. The town has a steam roller mill, established in 1893. In 1904 the Bank of Westphalia was organized with a capital of $10,000, which was subsequently increased to $20,000. Its first and present presi- dent and cashier are Gerhard Plassmeyer and Henry Westermann In 1913 a second financial institution was established, the Farmers and Merchants Bank, with a capital stock of $10,000. Its president is Judge Ben Schauwecker and its cashier C. J. Buersmeyer. A high school department was added to the curriculum of the school in 1895.
The town of Westphalia is ideally situated. About it is fertile valley lands and streams that abound in fish. The town is located on a hill, somewhat lower than those that sur- round it, which presents an appearance of beauty in its outline. On account of its proximity to forest and stream and the hos- pitality of its people, the town is a Mecca for those in search of rest and recreation. The reputation of the town for clean- liness, for the substantial character of its business institutions, its wealth, its beautiful and comfortable homes particularly distinguish it.
The population of the town, according to the census of 1910, was 321.
CHAMOIS.
Chamois is located on the Missouri Pacific Railroad, nine miles west of the eastern boundary of the county. The Mis- souri river, forming the corporate limits on the north, adds beauty and picturesqueness to the city. The high and symmetrical hills on the south, which now form a part of the residential section of the city, afford an interesting view of the majestic stream which courses through the fertile valley below.
21
DIRECTORY OF OSAGE COUNTY.
The early settlers were the Shobes, who entered the land that is now the site of Chamois in 1818. At that time the Missouri river channel was much farther north. Here, as else- where in the county, the stream, evincing a preference for Osage county soil, has encroached upon her territorial domain.
Morgan Harbor, who named the town and was one of the leading spirits in its development, built a double two-story log hotel and saloon north of the railroad track prior to 1855. This building was destroyed by fire in 1859. Andrew Fitzpatrick, Wheeler and Knott, P. and Thos. Green, Patrick Casey and John T. Hunter, were among the first to build houses in the town. The Masonic hall was built about 1856. The building, subse- quently used as a church by the Catholic congregation, was erected for a storehouse by Welton and Hunter in 1858.
The town was laid out by James M. Shobe in 1856. The Bridges, Knotts, Townley & Knott's, Grangers, and Shobes additions were subsequently created. In 1873 the freight di- vision, roundhouse, repair shop, coal chutes and stockyards were established. In 1896 the division was moved to Sedalia.
Of the city's institutions of a quasi public nature may be mentioned the Bank of Chamois, established in 1890; the Cha- mois Milling Company, incorporated in 1911; the Peoples' Bank, established in 1913, and the Osage County Enterprise, founded in 1888 by A. J. Childers. The city has two public schools, one of which is for colored children.
The Catholic Church was organized in 1865, the Methodist Church in 1868, the church for the colored people in 1872, the Christian Church in 1870, and the German Evangelical Church in 1885.
The fraternities are the Masonic Lodge, organized in 1859; K. of P. Lodge (now extinct), organized in 1885, and the Ancient Order of United Workmen (extinct), organized in 1880. Sub- sequently were organized the Maccabees, the Modern Woodmen of America, and the Modern Brotherhood.
The population of the city, as given by the census of 1910, is 649.
OSAGE COUNTY COURT.
HISTORICAL.
March 25, 1841, the first session of the Osage County Court was held at the home of Thomas Robinson, at which time the municipal townships-Benton, Crawford, Jackson, Jefferson, Linn and Washington-were named and the boundaries desig- nated. At the session of court held on that day it was ordered that the regular sessions of court be held on the second Mon- day in May and every three months thereafter.
May 10, 1841, the election of justices of the court was or- dered, and subsequent terms of court ordered held at Elijah White's until otherwise ordered.
August 10, 1841, court convened at the home of Elijah White's.
August 27, 1842, court convened at Adolph Menger's, near Cave Springs.
November 4, 1842, court convened at Van Buren.
November 17, 1842, it was ordered that the county seat of Osage county be known, and styled as "Linnville."
May 9, 1843, it was ordered that all subsequent terms of court be held at Linn.
August 14, 1843, court convened for the first time at Linn.
The name "Linnville" was used but once in the records, nor was there ever any order entered of record changing the county seat from "Linnville" to Linn.
The insufficiency of the earlier records renders indefinite the exact dates when the earlier justices were chosen. All that is available from those records are the dates when the several justices served concurrently and the selection of one of their number as presiding justice, as was then provided for by law.
