Photograph used for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "State, federal and military investigators sifted debris with railroad officials Monday in an effort to determine the cause of an explosion Sunday that killed two, injured scores and devastated this resort community. Meanwhile, estimates of the damage ranged as high as $5 million as many of the townspeople returned to their homes and businesses facing massive clean-up chores. Some businessmen estimated it will take 2 years to rebuild the town. Virtually every building in the southwestern Missouri community near the Oklahoma and Arkansas borders suffered some damage. Many were destroyed. National Guardsmen denied access to all except residents or workers engaged in repairs. The 125-man guard force was to remain through Tuesday morning. The Missouri Highway Patrol listed 58 business establishments as damaged, with the harm from moderate to total demolished. The patrol said 31 residences were demolished, 58 others severely damaged and 55 damaged to some extent. A spokesman for the Insurance Information Institute in Chicago said a survey showed damage at slightly less than #1 million."

One Oklahoman was injured in the blast. Mrs. Emma Wills of Hennessey was reported in serious condition at the Granette, Ark., Medical Center. Fires in nearby propane storage tanks and in railroad tank cars burned 18 hours after the explosion. Emergency aid poured in from four states as authorities evacuated 800 residents and several hundred vacationers because of additional explosions. The town was cleared for four hours while firefighters fought blazes and workmen tapped a burning tank of propane before it could explode. The last fire was extinguished at 10:30 p.m. Late Sunday night many residents began returning to their homes. The explosion devastated a 6-block section in the middle of Noel, a resort town less than 1,000 in the Ozark Mountains of extreme southwestern Missouri. All utilities and communications were knock out …
