17 Oct 2004 According to an e-mail I received from a contact in Chariton on 20 Dec 2003 the Royal Rest Motel is no longer in operation. The only motel currently in Chariton is the Super 8. Gary W.

Genealogical Society Thank you Richard for getting everyone straight on the motels and phone #'s, etc. That was great of you. I will enter those in my address book so I'll remember them next time. :-) Appreciate your being right on top of that. With all those big beautiful homes in Chariton, sure would be nice if one were a B & B. Even if a their were room rentals for an extended stay to do research would be super. It gets pricey after awhile, and less comfortable at the motel scene. Yes, I remember Darlene.. and Gwen and some of the gals at the history room area. They are very cramped for quarters indeed. I would imagine they could triple their space and still need more room to display and reveiw all that they've collected over the years. It is awesome what they have accomplished!!
