(1975) "Last known address" is that place where mail would be most likely to reach a person, that would be their residence. Failure of commission to send notice of award to residence prevented loss of jurisdiction because of 30-day rule in section 287.490. Cagle v. Regal Plastics Company (A.), 522 S.W.2d 7.
