The source behind the name

USGS GNIS Populated Place names in all 50 states and DC. Features in the historical extract or explicitly named historical are excluded; duplicate decision records with identical identities and coordinates are collapsed. GNIS points identify names, not legal or neighborhood boundaries, current occupancy, school attendance or a statistical population. Nearby Census places and tracts remain separately named geographies. Name completeness and currency vary; this is not a claim to include every locally used neighborhood name.

USGS description & history

A village in the northwest part of Meramec Township, on the Bourbeuse River. The post office was first established as Luther, just north of the river, in the southwest part of Union Township, in 1872 and discontinued in 1878. The only postmaster during that time was Martin Luther Green Crowe, and Luther was named for one of his given names. Luther Crowe, as he was generally called, was born in 1818 in Boles Township. He was elected justice of the peace in 1848, and county clerk from 1860 to 1870. In 1896 the post office, still named Luther, was reestablished south of the river at the site of Noser Mill (q.v.), and in 1901 or 1902 was renamed for the mill, a name which it still bears.
