In the spring blizzard experienced just a couple weeks ago, a great amount of snow was dumped onto the four states area. A victim to this late winter hurrah was a unique and rare round barn located just south of Joplin on Saginaw road. Incidentally, the farm was owned by John C. Cox, one of Joplin’s wealthiest citizens, and his family later had it built around 1909. The Joplin Globe posted an article this weekend noting its history and the costly, and apparently fatal, damage that it sustained from the recent snows.
