Land Deeded For New Church
Lori Olson transcribed the following from the original Warranty Deed filed Oct 25, 1907 at Chillicothe, Missouri:
From a Warranty Deed filed Oct 25, 1907 at Chillicothe, Missouri.
This indenture, made on the 8th day of October, 1907, by and between R. L. Knox and Sarah A. Knox, his wife, of Livingston County, Missouri, parties of the first part and John Perry, John W. Sullivan and Huston Carr, Trustees of the Church of Christ of Blue Mound for the use of said Church. of the county of Livingston in the State of Missouri parties of the second part: Witnesseth, that the said parties of the first part, in consideration of the sum of $1.00 to them paid by the said parties of the second part; their successors and assigns, the following lots, tracts or parcels of land lying, being situate in the County of Livingston and State of Missouri to wit: All of one half acre of ground described as follows: Beginning 12 rods west of the Northeast corner of Section Thirty five (35). Township Fifty six (56) of Range Twenty four (24), for a place of beginning, thence South Eight (8) rods: thence West Ten (10) rods, thence North Eight (8) rods, thence East Ten (10) rods to the place of beginning.
To have and to hold for the use of said Church of Christ, and upon the express conditions that no organ or other musical instrument be used or kept; and that no fair, festival or other practices, unauthorized in the New Testament, be held, had or conducted in, upon or about said premises, conduct, acts or unauthorized practices are committed or performed in, upon or about such said premises, or any organ or musical instrument be introduced into any house or edifice erected on said premises, then said premises to become the property of such persons or person of said Church of Christ who may be opposed to the organ or other musical instruments, festivals or other things, hereinbefore named, being used in said edifice or house erected on said lot or parcel of ground.
Signed: R. L. Knox Sr. Sarah A. Knox
You will note that there is some pretty specific language in the warranty deed about organ music or for that matter musical instruments of any kind. Perhaps we are putting two and two together and coming up with five, but John Hoyt in his book, "Not Much of Anything: A History of My Life," had this to say about the churches in Blue Mound:
"There were two churches and several denominations at Blue Mound. The Christian Church, Mount Hope, was organized in 1884 and the Church was built in 1885. It wasn`t long before there was a problem brewing over the organ in the church. A meeting was called on October 2, 1905 for the purpose of uniting all Christian people at Blue Mound into one body. The meeting failed and another church built (the Church of Christ) which had been gone for many years."
