Lunch with fellow Creekers! Blue Eye, MO

Blue Eye, MO We had a great visit and lunch at the booming Blue Eye, MO metropolis with Deloris and Joe. It is a kool little burger joint that likes what it does and does it very good! Blue Eye has a population of 167, is 1.1 square miles large, and straddles Missouri and Arkansas. We enjoyed our conversations and all too soon, it was time to leave so other patrons could sit down..

After lunch Ann Marie and I went into Branson. She went to the Quilt Shop, I went in to the Coleman store. While I was checking out, the cashier said he was ready for lunch, and I told him I just had a great burger. He asked me where and I told him in Blue Eye, and he said “no way, I live right down the street from there and go there often”. Then he proceeded to tell me a story, that in 1936, his grandfather Ken Webb, who owned a saw mill, accidentally cut his arm off, and it (his arm) is buried in the cemetery there in Blue Eye. His Grandfather died sometime later and somewhere else (I cant remember) and was buried in a different city. He and his kids go to the cemetery once a year and repaint the stone……
