Loved finding this. My Mother was from Stewartsville (born in 1918). Great to see pics and info.

Stewartsville had a booming business district in the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century. I emailed the DeKalb Historical Society in Maysville and they sold me a copy of Stewartsville, Missouri and Surrounding Area 1853-1980 .

It has been a few years since I visited there but I enjoyed the time I spent there.

Thanks Arkie.


Long after I wrote this, I came across a Sanborn map from May 1914 which I spent time studying http://dl.mospace.umsystem.edu/mu/i...ct/mu:146777

Do you think this would get a "net" grade with the staining?

If sent in for certification, whichever currency third party grading service chosen would mention the staining somewhere on the label.

I have not ever sent in currency for certification/grading.

I could see this being graded two different ways:

Scenario 1: VF- stains

Scenario 2: VF- net grade Fine stains

These are only my thoughts. Others more experienced in the currency grading field may be able to tell you more.

...was just curious. I've sent something in recently...and won't be sending this one....but trying to learn what everyone may say on their own opinion. I value your input. Thank you very much. Thought you might like to see this one in the discussion of Stewartsville mostly.

Absolutely enjoy seeing Stewartsville related items. I have quite a few ephemera items some are scanned.

In the currency forum I did a short thread on the officers of the FNB of Stewartsville http://goccf.com/t/271349

Earlier this year in the same forum I posted about the Stewartsville Bank showing a bank check from 1886.

Seen the tokens many times. I grew up in Stewartsville. plus worked at the store. by 1960 the store was Johnson Thift tee owned by Lila and Bob Johnson, who at one time owned the store in Polo, MO. Culbertson name brick that was on the store was donated to the Methodist Church who is named after Mr and Mrs Culberston. (names are on some of the stain glasses windows) the last of the Gantz was daughters the two lived on the north east side of the city park. They have past away. but are buried in Stewartsville Cemetery. Stewartsville did have a great business area downtown into the eighties and early 90s. In earliy put of 80 part of the buildings fell down part of the building the bank was in. Then when the store side fell . It left downtown with a few business.

Good to know more about the succeeding business and more about Stewartsville.

Brief side note regarding Mrs. Culbertson I came across a brief newspaper clipping from 1934 that mentioned she left the Methodist Church $25,000 upon her death.

I placed the clipping in a card and sent it to the church-- whether it was received or appreciated I do not know.
