Another book to read
I am reading a lot these days but Eric, I find nothing on you site about Amish Here near Springfield other than the one Seymour community and I will have Amish neighbors North of Springfield when I get moved. Would they be related to the Seymour community?
Ada I’m not sure which community you are referring to north of Springfield…Seymour is the closest big Missouri community to Springfield though there may be a small group north of town…do you know the county?
Amish north of Springfield
The county is Polk and they are north of Bolivar. Maybe they spred from Seymour to up there? What is funny is when I moved here for another state I brought one horse (I have owned several generations of her family) In finding a companion for her here, It just so happened I found a deal on a light draft mare with new harness and a single bench seat carrage. It was nice to know when finding a new home that the area was already used to buggies. LOL
