St. Clair Co., MO History 1883:
In Osage township are the famous Monegaw Springs, whose wealth of mineral and
healing waters will yet make it a Mecca for the invalids of the state. Some
three miles east of these springs is a white sulphur spring of great medicinal
quality, and one of the most pleasant to the taste of any of the medical waters
in the county. This spring is found on the northwest quarter of the northwest
quarter of section 27, township 38, range 26, and is called the Salt Creek
Springs. John C. Looney was the first owner of these springs.
