Excerpted stories in Crawford County newspaper archives 100 Years Ago April 10, 1924 Members of the Ringo fishing club expect to launch their new boat on the Neosho River sometime this week if weather conditions permit. They equipped the vessel with an outboard motor to eliminate the hard work of handling the oars. To make the season interesting to other fishermen, the club has decided to offer $20 in gold for the largest bass caught during the season within a radius of 25 miles.
