Small cabinet card by Moore
Written on the back: “No. 7 Warsaw Flood April 24, 1906. Duplicates 15ȼ Moore’s Gallery, Warsaw Mo.”
As this photo shows, the spur railroad from Sedalia to Warsaw unwisely located its station in the floodplain.
Every week we post an unpublished image that relates to the Osage River, its ecology, history and development. None of these have been used in Damming the Osage, but they relate to the themes of the book. A brief caption identifies the location and our thoughts on its significance and meaning. Feel free to use these images for personal use if you credit “Collection of Leland and Crystal Payton.” For commercial use, email us for details and a modest fee for a higher resolution image. We have thousands of historic photographs and brochures as well as our own contemporary photos.

I would love to see more photos of the town of Warsaw. My mom was born there, Billie Hall, the moved to Union MO when she was 6 months old. Last time We were down there visiting Cable Ridge Cemetery, she told me about the store and that her grandparents, Levi & Clara Houseworth live right behind the store. I wish I could see more. She passed Jan. 2021 🙁 I wish I could show her more photos.
Thank you for posting this.
