    3. Looking for the location of these ghost towns. If you have any information about where these are located, please write to the list. 1st and last set for Gasconade County: Adamsburg - Gasconade county Bartonsville - Gasconade county - This was the county seat before Osage and Maries Cos were formed. The county seat was moved here in 1825 when Gasconade City, the first cty seat, was flooded. In 1828 Bartonsville was flooded, and the county seat was moved to Mt Sterling. AKA Bartonville Used to be the county seat, and now we have no almost no record of it! Ehlenberg - Gasconade county - This is in Roark T. Gebler - Gasconade county - There was a PO and a store in this location. It was named for W S Gebler, a pioneer who est the store. Grovedale - Gasconade county Johnson Station - Gasconade county - This is an abandoned village in E Canaan T, E of Rosebud. It was named for Dr Johnson, who lived there and owned the land. There is still a RR siding there. Oldenburg - Gasconade county - The cty history says this place was on the Gasconade R just below the mouth of Sugar Camp Creek, but local inquiry produced no information. It was perhaps named by the German settlers for the grand duchy of Oldenburg in Holstein, Germany. There are a large number (~20) of houses and at least 2 cemeteries still in this area. Pace - Gasconade county - This was a village in Roark T. Peters Store - Gasconade county Mike Flannigan
