The only "title" on this mural is "1st Battle of Boonville", which I think is only the one panel.

County of mural: Cooper County
Location of mural: Main St. & Chestnut St. Holsum Bakery Building, Boonville
Artist: G. Bloom
Date Painted: October 2011
The center panel is not complete (see photo in gallery), and the only title is on the first panel about the Civil War Battle.
I believe it was commissioned by the bakery, and when the bakery closed, the work was not complete, and funds would not be forth coming so the artist stopped.
The first panel is all about the bakery, the middle panel is about the river and the landing (not complete) and the end panel is about the 1st Civil War Battle in Boonville
"Several murals adorn downtown Boonville buildings, beautifying the area and representing the city’s rich history. But the futures of two of these works of art—the painting on the north side of the Riverside Diner building and the Butternut Breads murals—are in question.
"Another Boonville landmark, the Butternut Breads murals, also depict themes that represent Boonville’s history and heritage. The first of four panels chronicles the history of the building itself with the names of its six different incarnations surrounding a stalk of wheat.
Other panels depict a steamboat and the First Battle of Boonville in 1861. The second and fourth panels are unfinished. In the second panel, two ghostly individuals accompany the steamboat, waiting to be filled with color. The sketch of a train occupies the center of the otherwise blank fourth panel.
Hostess bought the building in 2010 but ceased operations there in 2012. The structure was subsequently purchased the following year by Flowers Foods but is now for sale again." ~ Boonville Daily News, By Frances Webber, Jul 25, 2014
