I am just now responding to a discussion about locating an Island in Missouri that was on this site in late December or early January. This might not be the right one, but will pass it on in case someone is interested. My Grandfather had mentioned several times a Cline's Island somewhere near Essex, Missouri, and today I asked him for more specific details. Cline's Island was, according to him, a small crossroads settlement with only a general store and a bootlegger somewhere out in the bushes. It was located on Castor River north and east of where he lived east of Essex, 8-9 miles away. He mentioned that the river made a horseshoe bend near Cline's Island; also that a man named Breeze had a store near Cline's Island on Parma Road and they had him up in court about a boy that got shot.
