M-291 north of I-70. Should be rails going under that bridge. The area on the left across the bridge was a trash dump and then a park, Glendale Park, I believe.

I looked at that area on Google Earth and I did not seem to know there was a foundry at that location. What was the name of it?

Robert D. Mize was born in 1864 in Liberty, Mo.

Moved to Independence as a small child.

Opened a drug store before age 21.

Also owned a hardware, a meat market, and a grocery store. He was also a county judge (commissioner)

His nephew was Mize Peters.

R.D. Mize died in 1916.

Naturally, R.D. Mize Road was named after him—more for his service to Jackson County as a judge than as a resident of Independence.

If that's the case, and this is 291, the park would be Van Hook Park.

This is interesting.

Delorme Maps shows it as Glendale Park all the way from Crackerneck to M-291. Google shows the entry signs as Van Hook Park off Shrank Road and off Crackerneck.

The city lists a Glendale Park on Crackerneck and a Van Hook Park on Shrank Road in their inventory.

I "knew" Van Hook as a little kid when I took some sports with a city program. He really had a dynamic personality and a good way of handling kids.

Google Maps shows Glendale Park to be located on the east side of Lee's Summit, between E. 32nd st to the north, and S. Crackerneck to the south. It looks to be about a city block square in size.
