"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

Rich Hill Mining Review (July 28,1966)part2

Part 2
City Pays Off Bond Totaling $40,000
The City of Rich Hill this week paid off $40,000 in Electric light works revenue bonds.These bonds had 10 years to run until time to be retired.This now leaves a balance of $4,000 in electric lights revenue bonds which become due February 1, 1967.
With the payment of the bonds in February 1967,this will leave the electric light works department of the City of Rich Hill free of debt.
The payment of these revenue bonds in advance of the date due shows the efficient way the City Officials handle the business of the city.
