Editing Glenwood, Missouri (section)

==History==
The town of Glenwood was laid out by Alexander and Stiles Forsha in November 1868 with the plat consisting of a town square and forty-four other blocks. The first home had been built in the town the previous month by John B. Glaze. By 1869, a schoolhouse had been constructed as well as a two-story block of brick buildings with room for four businesses. Being at the crossing point of two railroads, the St. Louis, Kansas City & Nebraska Railroad and the Keokuk & Western railway, Glenwood saw rapid early growth. By 1873, the town included a large woolen factory, a flour mill, foundry, machine shop, wagon factory and a multitude of other businesses. ''The Glenwood Citerion'' newspaper began publication in 1870 and Logan's Bank, the town's first, was established in 1875.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://cdm.sos.mo.gov/cdm4/document.php?CISOROOT=%2Fmocohist&CISOPTR=95846&REC=1&CISOBOX=Glenwood|title=History of Adair, Sullivan, Putnam and Schuyler Counties Missouri|publisher=Goodspeed Publishing Company|year=1888|accessdate=July 26, 2011|archive-date=October 4, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111004153208/http://cdm.sos.mo.gov/cdm4/document.php?CISOROOT=%2Fmocohist&CISOPTR=95846&REC=1&CISOBOX=Glenwood|url-status=live}}</ref> <br>
