  • An abandoned 100 plus year old ceramic tile grain elevator is all that is left of a small town in Missouri called Pearson Spur. I found a skull to an animal but have no clue what kind.

    When I was about 6- 7 years old I would climb ladder like steps that were on the inside up into a silo and spend a lot of time at the top, watching the world go by. One time I took a package of popsicles and most of them melted.
    A neighborhood had been built around it. And the adjoining building was being used as apartments.
    And then there was another silo in another place that was fun, full of cobbed corn with a conveyer belt, the neighborhood kids (me)enjoyed climbing up and finding angry crows, lol.
    Thanks for jogging my memories.
    Then there was a 3rd silo, down in Virginia....
    Childhood memories.

    I am guessing that is a cat skull and it was feasting on those birds thus all the feathers and bones. Those are silos that held "silage" which is where the farmer uses a chopper and chops corn, stalk, leaves and all and stores it in these structures. The silage then starts to ferment through a heat process and it provides a great source of feed for cattle and other live stock during the winter months. I have never seen one made of ceramic blocks like this. Awesome video!

    Dicky's Silo is probably the name of the company that manufactured the silo blocks. The blocks have a similar glaze to pottery jugs of long ago.

    Judging from the edges of blocks, rather than ceramic tiles, they appear to be glazed clay block. As to why use this material, I suspect looking at the size of the blocks, it would be quick to build. And as others have pointed out does not seem the best material to contain tons of grain.
    As to the town name ...."Spur", was there a railroad passing through or ending there?

    • @foamer443

      @Josh Gerding Had to read up on silage, so now I assume there would not have been the same amount of pressure on the silo walls as grain.

    Do you think the name Pepper Mill is because they look like a couple of pepper mills? Maybe the writing on the ceramic tile is the company that made tiles for grain silos that would make the silo tight as a jug. lol Could be a cat skull and feral cats are eating the birds. What you called disconcerting I was thinking oh no, is that holding up something important? You must have been close to Daniel Boone's home town.
