Where Does Gassville Get its Name?

At the Gassville Centennial in June 2003, Joyce Acklin, a direct descendant of Mr. P.A. Cox related the story of how Gassville got its name. A post office was established in the town in 1878 with P.A. Cox as the postmaster. He was an incessant talker and was referred to by others as a "gasser" which eventually led to the town's name. This is the only Gassville in the United States. Gassville formally became a town in 1903. (From Baxter Bulletin newspaper 6/16/2003.)
