NEWSPAPER ARTICLES

Blue Mound, Missouri never had a newspaper, but many articles about Blue Mound were published in the Chillicothe newspaper. And thanks to Jerry R. Stephens, Lori Olson and Mildred (Sue) Jones, Major Friends of Blue Mound, we now have access to many of those dating back to the early 1900s.

The articles were mostly in columns titled variously as “Blue Mound News”, “Blue Mound”, “Blue Mound Items”, “North Carroll”, etc.

Rather than posting the entire item, I converted each individual item into a tabular format (below) with four columns: Date (of article, not the event), Subject (main subject of the article), Names (if any in the article), and Comments (about the article if any).

In general I used the spellings in the newspaper article although some appeared to be misspelled. Parenthetical material is mine.

There are many skips chronologically and I will try to fill them in as more articles become available. There are a few undated items and put them at the end of the table.

If you desire more information about an entry (item), please contact me at info@bluemoundhistory.com and I will check the hard copy to see if more is available.
