Mt. Moriah, Missouri
What's left of the business "district." There was one business still operating--a tiny walk-up snack bar on US 136, but the population was only about 80--down from a high of about 600 a century ago. Mt. Moriah had at least one notable citizen: Charles "Babe" Adams--one of the great baseball pitchers from the early 1900's. In his rookie season, he won 3 games in the World Series for the Pirates and was MVP. There is a small monument to him in a tiny park at the center of the town square.
Incidentally, the "box" in front of the smaller building is an old rusty safe.
