Civil War sergeant Amos Croy and Susan Sewell joined early Marysville settlers in Missouri. They built a one room log home and sod barn, cultivating a farm with an orchard and outbuildings. Neighbors added roads and a school as new arrivals arrived, while some still traveled via trails across farm fields.
