It actually blew up in July of 1966. Maybe it exploded in 1918 but I am not for sure. My father in law retired from there abt 19 years ago after working there 40 years Started working there in 1946. In fact he is sitting here now and he said at that time period it was Independent Powder Co. Atlas and Hercules were owned by Dupont and then was split into two different Co's. He does recall a Hercules exploding in the early 1900's but not around this area but in California. I was within 1 1/2 miles from the explosion in 1966. It lifted my car up on two wheels. That was an unforgettable day in Carthage Mo. As far as Logsdon's what is it you are lookin for? Again, we know the Logsdon family and some are still living in this area.
