Brother Joe sent this e-mail to Sue, and we thought it should go here:

It is always very rewarding when a dear reader comments and responds to our blog. You are always welcome. A dear reader recently inquired about Crown Store, in Webster County, MO, however the e-mail address did not cooperate and we were unable to answer directly. We may be able to provide sources of additional information, upon request. For now, the following is suggested:

If you will Google Crown School, Webster County, Missouri, then click on Webster County Missouri Schools, then click on Crown School you will find a map and a list of nearby points. e.g. Crown. MO. 0.1 mile, etc.

Crown Store, Crown School, Friendship Baptist Church and cemetery are all very close.

Going southwestwardly out of Marshfield, on Hwy KK, you will cross James River and come to where KK turns right. Bell Ford Road, going eastwardly, (left) intersects KK at this point. Crown Store was at or near this intersection, on the south side of the road. The store remained open during WW II but I don't know when it closed. Crown School was consolidated and closed, probably in the late 1950's?

Also the following may be of interest: It may also be necessary to use Google?
