Ashley Lee Harry Memorial
by flingo98

In April 2000, three local teenage girls were killed in a terrible auto accident. They were smart, athletic, popular young woman and their deaths rocked our small town horribly. When the new football field was built, memorials were placed nearby so that the community would not forget these girls or ever take for granted the youth of our community.

The downtown revitalization and historical committees have been working hard on this area in order to pay homage to the many immigrants who shaped our community through their work on the railroad and in the coal mines.

There is a small park and a beautiful pavilion at 2nd and Broadway, Pittsburg, KS. (with multiple markers of notable townsfolk)

Miner Memorial Statue of Spiva Park
by flingo98

Funds from the George Spiva memorial have created the garden in which the Joplin Minor statue resides.

A month before he passed away in 1967, Spiva was honored as “Outstanding Citizen,” the first annual award given by the Chamber of Commerce. In accepting the award, he said: “If I have done anything to deserve this award it has been in a selfish nature—because I think Joplin is the finest place in the world to live and I enjoy it as much as you do.”

Independence Bowstring
by flingo98

One of the earliest memories I have of my grandfather was on this bridge. I was riding in the car with my mother, going to Independence, and saw my grandpa coming toward us in his old red International pickup. I could see his tools and the water cooler in the back and I remember thinking how important of a man he was in his "work truck". He, of course, was wearing his standard uniform of faded overalls and long-sleeved shirt. I remember him holding his arm out the window and giving me a big wave and a smile. That was about 30 years ago, but I think of that day everytime I pass the bridge.

Loretta became known during the 1920s as the first woman radio amateur whose voice crossed the Pacific Ocean.
