History
Ash Grove was initially settled by Euro-Americans by 1830. It was an early location of Mormon missionary activity in Illinois, with Mormons residing there by 1832. In late 1836 a mob attacked a Mormon missionary preaching at Ash Grove. Younger Green got an affidavit for the arrest of the mob, but the militia refused to cooperate in arresting the accused mobbers.[3]
