"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

Gertrude Cheverton Program

This was sent to me from a Les Shepard in the UK.Les  estimate that the advertising leaflet must be dated  from sometime around 1914 or later, as two of the testimonials mention her music studies in Europe, and passenger records show that she returned to New York from Europe in November 1913.
Thanks Les
