Editing Maryville, Missouri (section)

=== Missouri governors ===
In 1872 [[Albert P. Morehouse]] started the ''Nodaway Democrat'', which became the ''[[Maryville Daily Forum]]''.  Morehouse would become governor.  He lived in a house on Vine Street.  Coincidentally, the house would later be occupied by [[Forrest C. Donnell]] before Donnell became a governor and U.S. Senator.  The ''Forum'' was a chain-owned newspaper for nearly 100 years, and in 2013 it reverted to local ownership by the Cobb Group.{{citation needed|date=May 2020}}

In 1889 the Maryville Methodist Seminary opened.

In 1891 Elizabeth Howell (who operated Howell Millinery in Maryville) contributed to the development of the [[Lazy Susan]] when she received an American patent for "certain new and useful Improvements in Self-Waiting Tables". Howell's device ran more smoothly and did not permit [[Bread crumbs|crumbs]] to fall into the space between the Lazy Susan and the table.<ref>{{cite book|last=Howell|first=Elizabeth|title=Patent No. 464,073|year=1891|publisher=United States Patent Office|location=Maryville, Missouri|url=https://www.google.com/patents?id=lRViAAAAEBAJ&printsec=abstract&zoom=4#v=onepage&q&f=false}}{{dead link|date=June 2024|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref>
