Dudenville, Missouri

Dudenville (also Chambersville, or Chambersburg) [1] is an unincorporated community in Dade and Jasper counties in the U.S. state of Missouri.

[2] Local lore states that the name of the town would change from Chambersville to Dudenville depending on whether the Republican or Democratic store owner in the community had the post office.

[3] At one time, the community had three general stores (one with a drug store), a barber shop, ice house, cafe, and movie theater, as well as an IOOF lodge and affiliate of the Anti-Horse Thief Association.

[5] While the Brethren Church is long gone, the Methodist congregation met weekly until 2003; the building is still standing.
