of
WORLD WAR I.[In the 40s and 50s and even into the 60s, this roadside park was a very busy place. Local people met here, picniced here, and travelers, stopped here to eat. This was the perfect place to mount you memorial to achieve maximum viewing by the public. Today, it is not even on the highway. The Blue * Memorial, and a marker to where Jesse James' gang split the money from a train robbery. The train tracks are to the right and down a hill.]
