Memorable Moments & Stories

  • Other: on Monday, 10 May 1847, at Osage County, MissouriG. James M. Shobe From: Osage County Creating Early Schools. Township 45, Range 8 was to be organized with Sampson Pummel, Commissioner; and John F. P. Hughs and Moses Phillips, directors. In 1850 This attempt failed., residents met at the home of Charles Burnett to organize schools. James M, Shobe was Commissioner, and Sampson Pummell and F. P. Hughs, directors. This was in the Chamois area..4
  • Other: in 1856, at Chamois, Osage County, MissouriG. James M. Shobe CHAMOIS
    Chamois is located on the Missouri Pacific Railroad, nine miles west of the eastern boundary of the county. The Missouri 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 forms a part of the residential section of the city, afford an interesting view of the majestic stream which courses through the fertile valley below.
    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 elsewhere 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, build 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, subsequently 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 division, roundhouse, repair shop, coal chutes and stockyards were established. In 1896 the division was moved to Sedalia.
    Of the city’s institutions of the quasi public nature may be mentioned the Bank of Chamois, established in 1890; the Chamois 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 Evanelical 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 Workman (extinct), organized in 1880. Subsequently 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..
