Longtime Horseman, Rancher, Cattleman Passes Away Walter C. “Buster” Hargis, 90, of South Greenfield, Missouri, passed away Sunday morning, January 4, 2015, at Mercy Hospital in Springfield, Missouri, following hip surgery. He was born on April 22, 1924 in Neola, Missouri, to James W. and Elizabeth (Killingsworth) Hargis. Buster married Patsy (Myers) Hargis on May 20, 1950 in Greenfield, MO. They shared 64 years together raising four children in the Pennsboro home on Turnback Creek, where they lived 41 years before building a new home on their other farm on Limestone Creek.

horses and hauling cattle for the last 65 years. Buster truly loved trading and making a dollar. The family has no idea just how many horses he traded, but it would be in the thousands. Buster loved clearing the lands and sawing the logs from the farms and has done this since 1930’s when you used horses to pull the logs out. He told the story of trading a pocket knife for a mare with fistulous withers and from that day on he traded horses. Buster was a friend to many throughout Dade and surrounding counties. If you needed a helping hand, done right by him, he would help any-
one willing to help themselves get a start in life. He loved red and will be remembered for the red pickups with a rearing stallion emblem on the front. He was well known at the stockyards, traveling to Springfield and Joplin many, many times throughout his life. Up until his death, he was still hauling cattle to and from the yards. Buster rode in his last Buffalo Days Parade in May of 2014, at the age of 90. He always made sure if someone wanted to ride he’d find the horse so they could participate. One of the last greatest cowboys rode his last ride.
IOOF Building In Greenfield Sold To Investor By Bob Jackson Vede!e Correspondent
One of the oldest buildings in Greenfield, Missouri, the IOOF building on North Allison Street, one half block off the northwest corner of the square, has been sold by the State IOOF Lodge to an investor from Lawrence County. The building was constructed in 1912 and served as the lodge hall for the Odd Fellows chapter until 2013 when the local chapter disbanded due to lack of members. The building, some 6000 square feet, had a first floor lodge hall, a meeting room on the second floor and kitchen and dining room on a partial third floor. The first floor had always been rented out in past years for use as a café ,pool hall, once had a 3lane bowling alley and in the 1980s Dunbrooke Sportswear used the bottom floor for sewing sport jackets, employing several
area ladies. The Lodge started in 1912 and was the leading civic club in Greenfield with leaders Rubenstein,
Russell and Griffith all active leaders in the organization. The new owners hope to lease out the first floor
for possible retail space, repair and renovate the second floor for community events. The sale of the build-
ing was completed by Kim Kinder of United Country Lowe Realty Greenfield, Missouri.
