It was the site of the first white ware pottery in Missouri and one of the earliest in the Mississippi Valley. Known as the Pool pottery, it was operated by potters from England. It had long since been obliterated, according to Wheeler, writing in 1896. (Postal Guide; Wheeler (1896) 178; W.H. Copeland)

Wild [Billy J. Thornberry]:

Well, you know I’m a clone of course, in that I am an actor playing [cloned] roles. Many of my wild, wild friends, hehe, worried that I was actually killed by Hater the Cow during the production. But of course that was a stunt double… er, stunt dummy I should say there.
