Springfield

• Welby Stevens is Mayor of Springfield in 1911 & 1912 and cast the deciding votes allowing Springfield to remain a "wet" town.

• Merton McKlin, a prominent builder, designs & constructs the McKlin House for his wife Civility in 1912.

• The 1912 Sanborn fire insurance maps show a plumbing and tinning shop (Polk 1907:163-177).

• The 1907 and 1912 Sanborn maps show the majority of Springfield’s businesses on Main Street; except for the intersection of Mill and Main, Mill Street was no longer used as a commercial center. This may be because of the Option Law that was passed in 1906 making it illegal to sell alcohol in the city closed the local saloons on Mill Street.
