Osage Mission’s post was located at the Osage Catholic Mission which was established in 1847. Eventually Osage Mission became the town of St. Paul Kansas inside what would become Neosho County Kansas. The Mission was located about 35 miles (56 km) north of the Kansas-Indian Territory border. Indian Territory eventually became the state of Oklahoma. When the Civil War erupted Father John Schoenmakers wanted to keep the Mission as neutral ground and thus out of the conflict.
