The city’s main park had been transformed by the diligent efforts of workmen who meticulously tended to the flower beds and roads. Their hard work ensured that the park remained a beautiful and accessible haven for the community, a place where families could stroll among blooming flowers and enjoy the well-kept pathways.
Equally significant were the upgrades made to the Negro Park on Huntsville Road. This park, which had long served as a recreational area for Moberly’s Negro community, saw substantial repairs. The most notable improvement was the digging of a new well, a development that promised a steady and reliable supply of drinking water for all visitors. This enhancement underscored the city’s commitment to providing essential amenities and improving the quality of life for its residents.

The Moberly Monitor-Index and Moberly Evening Democrat captured this moment of progress, celebrating the strides made toward enhancing the city’s parks for the enjoyment and benefit of all its residents.
