Vessie, Missouri
Extinct town in the US state of Missouri
Vessie is an extinct town in northern Phelps County, in the U.S. state of Missouri.[1] The community is on a ridge between Kaintuck Hollow to the west and Little Piney Creek to the east at an elevation of 1060 feet. The community is at the intersection of Missouri Route T and a county road. It lies approximately four miles south of Newburg and is within the Mark Twain National Forest.[2]
Vessie served as a post office in eastern Liberty Township.[3] The name was apparently chosen because it was short and unique.[4]
