Kingston Furnace
"Originally called Kingston Furnace in 1876, for Wyllys King, a stockholder of the St. Louis Lead Mining Company, which owned the furnace, according to N.W. Bliss in Shumard's report. Since there was a post office named Kingston, the county seat of Caldwell County, already in the state, Robert L. Brown, the first postmaster, sent in the names of prominent families. Bliss was the name finally selected."
