Truman Farm Succumbs to Suburban Progress in Missouri
KANSAS CITY UP The Truman farm at Grandview Missouri once home to Harry S Truman is gradually yielding to development. The Truman brothers J Vivian and sister Mary Jane sold 74 head of dairy stock at auction as there is no room for cattle on the 400 acre Kansas farm acquired by Vivian and his sons. Truman laments the loss of the old place saying he may want to come home. Vivian will remain in a smaller house nearby while the family keeps portions of land on both sides of US 71. The site was once eyed for a Harry S Truman library but that plan moved to Independence now under construction.
