Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Yarrow is an unincorporated community in southwestern Adair County, Missouri. It is located on Missouri Supplemental Route N about ten miles southwest of Kirksville. Its post office has closed and mail now comes from Kirksville. Yarrow began in 1847 as Domey''s Mill, a grist mill built on the east bank of the Chariton River to serve farmers in southern Adair County, Missouri. This original mill was destroyed by winter ice floes in 1874. However, the demand for services was so great a new mill was up and running on the same location by 1876. This second building was much larger and also featured a sawmill. The town itself went through many names in its early years including Domeys Mill, Lower Iron Bridge, and Linderville before an unknown government postal official assigned the name Yarrow near the turn of the century. The name was said to be chosen for the profusion of wildflowers that grew on hillsides surrounding the mill site.
