My grandfather served in the Missouri National Guard in 1906. He lived in Pierce City and served in a unit from that area. He told a story about an incident in the train yard in Monett. "The crowd would not let the Guard off the train, and the Guard exited from the back of the train. When the train pulled out of the station the Guard was facing the crowd with bayonets drawn and pointed at the crowd." Does anyone remember hearing of this incident? I wrote to the newspaper in Monett and was told the incident had never happened. Another researcher met a reporter from that paper a few years ago, and was told a series of articles had been written recently about the incident. I have a photo of his unit, if anyone is interested.
