Osceola Fizzical Geography Draws Local Roars and Baseball
A ByStander column humorously extols Osceola’s rough roads and mountain like dips on State street, proposes a joint highway study, and notes county officials’ neglect while recounting community life including a birthday and a farm thrashing mishap. A Friday baseball game reports Osceola losing 6 to 0 at Shelby with Ray Peterson pitching well for Osceola and Stone impressing for Shelby.
