Route 66 Memories from the Mother Road

Stony Dell Swimming Pool and Resort, Arlington, Mo.

By Ashley Weaver  Lenore Morris grew up in Jerome, Missouri, located just off the original two-lane Route 66 in western Phelps County. She was born in March 1927 to Martha Gladys Duncan and Floyd Edward Jones, who worked for the Frisco Railroad in nearby Arlington. That same year, Vernon Prewett began laying stonework for the Stony Dell Swimming Pool and Resort, which opened five years later in Arlington, located about 14 miles west of Rolla.
