. HOUSTON, TEXAS CO., MISSOURI is the county capital. It is located on a hill, which terminates on the north in a bluff at Brushy Creek. St. Louis 140 miles SW & Kansas City 200 miles SE. he town was incorporated June 29, 1847, & postal service was extended the next January. - Richard Patterson settled in Texas county seat of Houston. During the Civil War (1861-65) the Houston courthouse was destroyed twice.
. SPRINGS & CAVES at t Houston - The Blankenship Springs are located two & one-quarter miles north of Houston, in a beautiful dell near Piney River. There are many springs, with as many different kinds of water, all of which unite & go sweeping over the pebbles, upon which is left a beautiful golden bronze. But few of these springs have been analyzed. They are in a romantic place, & the picturesque scenery cannot be excelled. A fine cave near the hotel, which has been used for keeping fresh meats, milk, butter, etc., is superior to anything ever used for that purpose. The temperature is 59 degrees. There are many other caverns, not only around Houston, but throughout the county.
. CIVIL WAR: Alternate raids by the contending parties left it a barren waste, so that 1865 found the county almost de-populated. ...The town was destroyed twice during the war, & when peace was proclaimed she had not a single inhabitant, nor was there even a barn standing within her present limits. It took a long time to recover from this blow. For some time the site was occupied by a few people who lived in shanties hastily thrown up between showers, & a store, the proprietors of which handled only a few necessaries of life. But the lands surrounding the town were too valuable to remain idle very long, & those who had been driven away by the troubles of the times came back to their old homes & went to work. Political differences were forgotten, & new houses took the places of the old.
