Names
from an Old Account Book Used in the Store and Blacksmith Shop Located at the
Site of the Present Village of Strother, Missouri
The
first village wasn’t known as Strother. The first High School in the village
was the Prairie High School, so perhaps the village might have had the same
name. Prof. French Strother came to the village in 1877 to teach in the High
School and soon afterwards the little village was named STROTHER in his honor.
