authentic piece of localized regional history: an original section of The Bakersfield News, an Ozark County growing weekly newspaper printed in Bakersfield, Ozark County, Missouri. This specific piece is dated December 5, 1940. It offers an incredible window into pre-WWII small-town Missouri life, featuring localized names, an obituary for Alice Roberts Mullins (born 1866), a creative essay titled "Why I Like the Ozarks," local sports updates, and an antique handwritten name signature ("Mrs. Alvis Atkinson") in pencil at the top left. This is a fascinating typographical printing error—the date stamp reads "Dec. 5 :940" instead of "1940"!
