In the 1930’s an airport was built in the area of the cache. A landfill was also on this land. There was a Government Transient Camp where 240 men from all walks of life lived and worked. They were oil-drillers, lumberjacks, cowhands, craftsmen.. They tended to follow the booms in industry.
“The Walkin’ Preacher of the Ozarks”, Rev. Guy Howard. came to this area after his wife had died of cholera in Iowa. After a bit of time he brought his boys, (one very sick) to the Ozarks. He had read “The Shepherd of the Hills” and felt it would be a good place for them. Rev Howard was asked to serve the crew as a social worker
He preached at many churches as well as a Branson area church at Gretna. The town was in the valley where the charcoal plant now stands beside the railroad tracks, The church cemetery is still there.. He was also invited to preach at the Sycamore Log Church on Sycamore Church Road here in Branson. It still offers Sunday church services.
