• There was a road just south of and paralleling Millionaire St. in Osceola named Bush Street which was the company-built and owned housing for Osceola Mine. The Sanford maps identify 22 log miner's dwellings on the map of the mine. Millionaire Street was the street where people owned their own houses, and the folks on Bush St. gave it that name because they must be millionaires"."

• There is a Millionaire St in Osceola location, you would think with a name like Millionaire St it would be mansions rather than log homes.
