Pierce Rt. 1, Box 73A Stanberry, Missouri 64489
Mr. Carl Foster of Maryville, Missouri has this little engine in
his collection.
The small engine was built between 1900 and 1905 according to
Elvan (Sparky) Howard of Maryville. It was made in the Jameison
Machine Shop in St. Joseph, Missouri, by two men working there.
Charlie Hayward and John Hockenauer had no funds to put it in
production so it was given to Sparky when he was fourteen years
old. He is now over ninety years old. Employees of the same company
in business today have no knowledge of the engine.
It runs beautifully and looks great with some modern
applications. Mr. Foster, using an oil filter case for cooling, a
muffler, ignition system and dressing it up, has an engine that was
never named or another made.
