"About This Blog

Rich Hill is a small town in Bates County, Missouri, known as the "Town That Coal Built." Since 2008, this blog has been digging through old newspapers, county histories, family photos, and community memories to piece together the stories of the people, businesses, churches, and events that shaped Rich Hill — from its coal-mining boom years to the present day. Here you'll find everything from town-defining moments (train depot ambushes, natural gas jubilees, the founding of local churches) to the quieter stories of the people who called Rich Hill home — including a few who went on to leave their mark on the wider world. Have an old photo, a family story, or a correction? I'd love to hear from you — reach out at beardonme@gmail.com

I got a email

Yeah ,I got this e-mail Friday.

I enjoyed reading about Rich Hill, especially that which was written by Mary Griffin. Mary, Ada and Raymond Griffin were my father's cousins. Mary and Ada frequently visited my Grandmother in Kansas City, KS. They were very nice ladies. I have attached 4 family pictures. Keep up the good work.
