Prosperous Future Is Erie's Outlook
Erie Kansas profile notes the 83rd anniversary of incorporation, a building boom including a $500,000 courthouse replacement, a $100,000 rest home, new post office, bank, savings and loan, and service station. Municipal utilities, a Neosho River reservoir, and a $100,000 sewage plant support growth. Erie’s catfish nickname stems from yearly Neosho River catches, state record 64 pounds, and a historic seat in Osage Mission conflict. Tribune photos by Larry Mathews.
