I lived in Hannibal, Missouri all my life and it's the birth place and burial site of Hall of Famer Jake Beckley and this city doesn't care about this guy. It's all Mark Twain and Molly Brown.
They had a memorial dedicated in 1971 on Main Street where all the tourists are at and they moved it to Clemens Field which no one goes to so he's dumped on even more. The merchants can't make any money off him so who cares.
