Sandi-- Gorin, Missouri was built on my family's land: Walter P. Ellis and William Woodsmall. Pleasant Grove Cemetery was established on the William Woodsmall farm. You can trace the evolution of the land transactions, the establishment of the rail junction and the creation of Gorin through the three platt maps located at the Scotland Co. Genweb website. I have some before and after photos of Gorin that I can share electronically via electronic album if you are interested. Like most of the small rural towns in the area, Gorin is en route to extinction. David Dlouhy
