Liberty MO Odd Fellows defunct Asylum
"Originally built in stages between 1900 and 1935 on a 240-acre hillside just outside the county seat of Liberty, Mo., the Odd Fellows Home as it is pictured on the color postcard from 1910 opened its doors in 1900.
The original complex operated much like a company farm and those who were staying at the home and were able to work were expected to contribute to the societal good. As time progressed, a hospital, orphanage, school, nursing home and cemetery were added to the growing complex.
Three of the red brick buildings with buff limestone accents were designed by William Ittner in the Jacobethan Revival and Tudor Revival style. The site was recognized as a National Historic Landmark in 1987 as the Odd Fellows Home Historic District.
The Odd Fellows, (IOOF) is a fraternal society with secret rituals, rites and passwords. One of the more interesting “artifacts” left behind by the IOOF at the Liberty, Mo. site is the actual skeleton of a former Odd Fellow affectionately named “George.” George was a member of another local chapter of IOOF and had donated his body to the medical sciences. Rather than being cremated, as is the case for modern cadavers following their educational purpose, Geroge’s skeletal remains were returned to the IOOF in Liberty for use in initiation rituals. George’s remains remain on site today in a glass case.
During WWII, the home served as a residence for German prisoners of war (POW). After VE day in May of 1945, the POWs were released and the facility was converted into a nursing home.
By the late 1970’s the school, orphanage and hospital had closed. The only portion that remained operational was the nursing home. The Odd Fellows Grand Lodge of Missouri continued to operate the home until 1993.
Dr. John Louis Bean and his wife Marsha purchased the home from the IOOF in 1993 and over an eight-year period, developed what has become a destination for regional wine enthusiasts as well as paranormal investigations, the Belvoir Winery.
Winery employees report seeing ghostly images in the various hallways in the main building. One such occurrence was when a young boy appeared wearing a red shirt, blue knickers and brown shoes. The boy disappeared after about three seconds. Another time during set up for a wedding, a winery employee heard a female spirit say, “Hello little one,” to her daughter.
A Ghost Hunters television program investigation cited two separate instances of spirits answering questions out loud in one winery building and ghostly children finishing a song that was sung by Ghost Hunter production personnel."

Close to the coming Fakebook/Meta complex. "Just a short drive, down I-35" (think that was the local Ford dealer jingle)
>Americans do not have the funds for $1200 phones
TracFone has one, their service is no different than the T-Mobile account anon had for way too many years. Been buying a new Android with 1 year service, ? gigs 1500 min phone/text for around $100. For the YEAR with the phone. Still pondering a switch, looks like it requires an actual plan. The phone is $289. There's more than one model, never owned Apple anything. Yet.
Is there a phoneFag in the house?If anon uses wifi, very little use of phone other than that, does anon need to care about gigs of data?
I know this sounds stupid, but yeah… no idea if I have used gigs or not. Text mostly and want to get on TruthSocial (waiting list obv)

>it's ok to be tech illiterate.
anon bailed out at Cobol & I can't remember the next- Fortran? Numbers have eluded anon…don't tell the ClockFag.
The household tech expert left the building/world the night the Chiefs beat the Ravens, Dec 2019. I have multiple devices I don't know anything about including a BluRay player. I'm afraid to unplug ANYTHING. I went comfortably helpless it seems…
I paid zero attention to phones. Govt gave me one, not sure I ever turned it on, my own- no idea about gigs/memory etc. Generally the battery gets sluggish & it's time to buy another phone. That's the extent of my know how.
