$1 W.L. Sims, Strong & Co., Ketesville
Grade: XF/AU    

---

September 9, 1862. "Payable in Confederate Notes or State Bonds, when $10 or more are presented". Unlisted and exceptionally rare. On February 25, 1862 there was a skirmish at Keetsville. Josiah T. Keet, an Englishman, was a storekeeper with Wm. McClure. Keets bought the mill in 1861 from Barton Clements and it burned down before the war ended. This Wm. McClure also had a second mill. In 1865 the town name was changed to Washburn, located near the Roaring Spring River. This note walked into the St. Louis Show and was consigned there. This seems to be a different spelling but still apparently the same location.
