�Douglas County Genealogical Society Meeting
at the Lawrence Public Library on 1217/2004
1. Members present agreed to turn over the DCGS collection to the Lawrence
Public Library on the condition that the DCGS has the right to take back
anything the library doesn't want

2. Mary Burchill noted that she agreed to contact the DAR about their
collection on behalf of the library.
3. The following members agreed to be on a committee to talk with library
representatives about the library's plans for the DCGS collection and the
library's plans for the Osma Room.
They will hold offuntil decisions have been made about the DCGS's policies for accepting
family files.
Shari Mohr
Richard Wellman
Linda Lang

4. The following members agreed to be on a committee to discuss setting up
files for accepting and storing family files.
These files will serve as a resource for individuals who are doing family research in
Douglas County. The committee will talk with Watkins Musem representatives about out
plans for family files.
Martha Harris
Paul Jordan
Shari Mohr

5. The following members have agreed to serve on the board for 2005:
President and Pioneer-Mary Burchill
Vice president and programming-Linda Lang
Treasurer- Shari Mohr
Genealogist- Paul Jordan, Richard Wellman as assistant.
Web Master-Don Vaughn
Librarian (or some variation)-Martha Harris

5. Members discussed programming for 2005-2006. The DCGS will continue to have

�monthly programs.
No decision was reached yet about whether to plan a major workshop with a national
speaker.

6. Members discussed the status of Douglas County, Kansas Family Histories
1991-1992, Volume 1
It was decided that after keeping enough copies to fulfill requests that come by mail or
through the Web site, the DCGS would work to distribute these volumes to interested
parties at no charge except for mailing costs.

a. Several members are storing these books for the DCGS. Because Paul Jordan is moving
and needed to dispose of five boxes immediately, the following members volunteered to
take boxes right away:
Richard Wellman: five boxes to distribute to interested Jefferson County Genealogical
Society and Jefferson County Historical Society members
Martha Harris: one box to distribute to interested Eudora Area Historical Society
members
Shari Mohr: one box to help out
b. Erma Worley agreed to address cards to genealogical societies to help in finding homes
for the volumes. If no one has a better list for her to use, she will use a genealogical
handbook for society addresses.

Actions Taken After the Meeting
Mary Burchill has contacted Bruce Flanders at the library to let him know that both the
DCGS and the DAR are ready to talk to the library about what is involved in giving their
books to the Library. Thanks to Shari Mohr for doing considerable research in
preparation for the meeting.
Richard Wellman has arranged for the Baldwin City Library to get a complete set of back
copies of The Pioneer. The Eudora Historical Society and the Eudora Public Library will
also receive a complete set each.
Richard is working on a subject index for back copies of the Pioneer. This is a subject
index, not a names index. Shari Mohr may be compiling this.

�At the regular meeting of the Society on 12 March 2005 the proposal of giving our books to the
Lawrence Public Library was discussed. The following motion was moved, seconded and voted
on. It was passed. Richard Wellman put forth the motion as follows:
I move that the Douglas County Genealogical Society empower the negotiating team (or
oversight team?) to be given the authority to give the Society's books to the Lawrence
Public Library if the negotiating team is satisfied that the negotiations have resulted in a
satisfactory agreement.
We will proceed from there and report in die ~ext Pioneer.

With all the informational wonders available on
the Internet's worldwide web, we are tempted
to assume that no other sources of information
are needed. Not true, of course. Where on
the Internet would you find news of George
Martin, who took off for Missouri "where he ...
put in his time 'foolin' with [aJ buzz saw"'? It
must have been a slow news day in Perry
when a reporter felt compelled to tell readers
of the plight of Frank Schell, "a poor lone
widdy." (My guess is that forlorn Frank is a
widower.) These items are from the June 11
. 1885 issue of The Lecompton Monitor.

All these tidbits of information and much more
are now available in our new microfilm
collection of
19th and early 20 th century
Douglas County newspapers. The collection
-:. _~_ of.historical regional _
n_ewspapers, comprising

38 microfilm reels, is a joint gift of the Friends
of Lawrence Public Library, the Douglas
County Genealogical Society, and the
Lawrence Journal-World. You can access this
collection in the microfilm section of the Helen
Osma Room on the lower level of the library.
A microfilm reader/printer is available for your
use and of course, our Reference staff is
always on duty to help you.

Included in this collection are the Baldwin
Criterion (1883), the Lecompton Union (1856)
and the Grasshopper and New Era out of
Grasshopper Falls (now Valley Falls) (1874).
Of particular interest to many local history
buffs are the Lane University newspapers
College Echoes (1888) and College Q,racle
(1892).
Students, genealogists and!! local
historians will find much of value in this l:Jtterly
fascinating collection. The Library is grateful
to the donors of this collection and extends a
hearty invitation to all to explore this new
additign to our holdings.

Vertical/Clippings File
The library maintains an extensive collection of clippings from newspapers, as well as photos
and other ephemera, on topics of area interest. These cover a wide time period, and topics range
from biographical (like area artists Stan Herd, William Burroughs, and Langston Hughes-related
items) to community events over time. An index to this collection is kept on top of the vertical
files themselves.

Magazines and Journals
The Osma Room holds several periodicals, including back issues, with content often highlighting
Kansas history or of interest to those researching area individuals, such as
Kansas History, 1978Kansas Heritage, Spring 1993Kanhistique: Kansas History and Antiques, 1975-

Electronic Databases with historical coverage
These are accessible through the library's website: www.lawrence.lib.ks.us. Individuals will
need to have a library card number to access these databases remotely.

Heritage Quest Genealogy Database
This database provides a broad range of sources useful in discovering personal histories:
•
Pro Quest's Genealogy &amp; Local History - more than 25,000 complete books, with material
from every state and Canada
•
U.S. Federal Census, 1790-1930 - complete census information, with the ability to search
by name, place of birth, age, ethnicity and other variables
•
PERSI (Periodical Source Index) - a subject index of more than 6,500 periodicals written
since 1800, with the ability to search more than 1.6 million articles by surname, location, title
and keyword
•
Revolutionary War Pension and Bounty Land Warrant Application Files (coming soon) detailed records of more than 80,000 people who served in the revolution with genealogical and
historical information
•
Freedman's Bank Records (coming soon) - records from the primary bank used by freed
slaves from 1865 to 1874, with information about more than 70,000 depositors and almost
480,000 dependants and heirs
•
Additional information from a number of data sources is coming soon - ship passenger
lists, military history, city directories, vital records, and international genealogical records

Historical New York Times
This database offers full-text and full-image articles for The New York Times dating back to the
19th century. The collection includes digital reproductions of every page from every issue cover to cover - in downloadable .pdf files. This newspaper database represents the first initiative

�to not only reach back into the past to digitize historical newspaper information but also to
provide that information as both full-page-images and as article images. That means researchers
can use the database to find not only news, editorials, letters to the editor, obituaries, and birth
and marriage announcements but also historical photos, stock photos, and advertisements. The
date range searching tool allows searches on, before, or between two dates. Digitizing The New
York Times involved scanning, digitizing, zoning, and editing over 3,400,000 pages from
microfilm into digital files. The database covers The New York Times from its first issue in 1851
all the way to 2001 - a span of issues currently not covered by any other electronic resource.

Other newspapers
The library's electronic databases feature access to many other newspapers available online. For
example, InfoTrac Custom Newspapers database enables online access to more than 150
newspapers. The scope of time coverage varies, however, and not all have archives available.

Additional Resources
The library has many resources to help facilitate patron access to and usage of library resources,
and also provides reservable meeting spaces for Lawrence community groups and organizations ..

ADA Computer
For patrons with disabilities or visual impairment, this computer, located on the first level by the
Reference Desk near the online catalog computers, can be useful for accessing the electronic
databases mentioned above. It features an oversize screen and large-text option, large-print
keyboard, and has audio capabilities. A ZoomText program also enables color and magnifying
adjustments to target individual needs. It is also wheelchair-accessible.

Enlarger
Located on the lower level by the elevator, the enlarger enables hands-free viewing of print
items, an oversize CCTV screen, and extensive magnification and color adjustments for varying
visual needs. It is also wheelchair-accessible.

Meeting rooms
The Library's auditorium (capacity 98, with tables and chairs; 210 without) and gallery (capacity
35) can be reserved and used by any Lawrence organization, without charge, any time during
regular operating hours. Reservations are required to ensure availability. For more information,
or to reserve a room, call Maria Butler, Community Relations Coordinator, at (785) 843-3833,
ext. 123.

Juliana Smith - 2/7/2005

Researching in Unfamiliar Territory It all-started-with a call from a family-friend who- had a question- about Family Tree Maker. Fromtherethe
conversation turned to an ancestress she had been trying to locate. The family hailed from Georgia and had
moved through several other southern states. I volunteered-to-dosorne preliminary poking around to. see
what I could find. (Yes, my obsession has reached the point where I'll hunt for just about anyone's
.
ancestors!)
Starting a new research project is an exciting challenge and learning experience. It's like trying out a new
recipe in someone else's kitchen. You're not sure where everything is kept, what tools are available or how
it will turn out, but it's fun to try it. Today, I thoug ht we'd take a look at some of the things we-should
consider when embarking on a research project in unfamiliar territory.
.

Get to Know- Their Surroundings
This- would-be-my first-research expedition- in-Georgia, and I knew- relatively little about- Georgia- history.
Elizabeth Butcher was said to have been born in the "Cherokee Purchase," 21 March 1829. So what-was
the Cherokee Purchase? My first stepwas to-Googleit so-that I would have a rough ide~ofwherel.was
looking. My first search for Cherokee Purchase gave me a slew of hits, mainly for Jeep Cherokees and
property for sale-in Cherokee County. I got-more specific and searched. for:
"Cherokee Purchase" Georgia -jeep
The quotes told the search engine that Cherokee Purchase-was an- exact- phrase that I wanted; Georgia
narrowed it down further and "-jeep" eliminated any hits with the word "jeep" in it. I found several sites that
told me that the-Cherokee Purchase covered-land from the-Chattahoochee River westto:Alabama, and
north to Tennessee and North Carolina. I found a historical map of Georgia in the Perry Castefieda Library's
online map collection at www.lib.utexas.edu/mapslhistoricallgeorgia- 1895.jpg.
Although it was for a later period than what I was searching, it showed the Chattahoochee River and the
counties as they were in 1895. Using Red-Book (published-by-Ancestry); 1- could find out the-dates the
counties were formed and the parent counties for those that were formed later. Red Book would also be
useful later in determining what records were available and-when-civil-registration began in-each county. It
would also give me information as to any research peculiarities for Georgia.

Has It Been Done?
Now- that 1- was a little more familiar with the geographical-area in which-I-would be looking, my next step
was to see if anyone had done work on this family. I found a tree that included an Elizabeth Butler in'
Ancestry.com's OneWorldTree (www.ancestry.comltrees). Although it listed her birth date as 21 March
1828, the fact that it was exactly one year off to the day, and that her birthplace was listed as Georgia, was
enough to make me think she might be-the right person. Thefather's-name was listed as-Henry P. Butcher
and there were two spouses listed-Martha Wilkins, whose death date was listed as 22 May 1826, and,
Elizabeth Wilkins, whose first child was the Elizabeth I wasJooking at as-a possible match.
There were six ~hildren listed with the first wife and fourteen by the second. Wow! That's quite a family.
There was also an entry that said "Five- Children Butcher." I also noted that one of the children was listed
under both mothers. OneWorldTree pulls the records from the Ancestry World Tree and stitches possible
matches together. The information found there-is a compilation of what isJound in the various databases
submitted by users and is only as good as the underlying research. While there were these two obvious

�problems with the entry, there were also a whole lot of clues that I could follow-up on-eighteen of them in
the form of siblings.

Timeline
Next, I went to my favorite tool for organizingcand-drew up a-timeline-based- on the treel had found; (Click
here for more on creating timelines)
,
Since there were birth dates and places for the family, I started-with those-and began plugging them into a
word processing document. Arranging the births as listed chronologically, I could see roughly where I would
need to look to locate them in the census. The migration path they took matched what my fnend had told
me, so I was even more encouraged that I had perhaps found the right family.

Gathering and Organizing
At this point I went on a searching spree at Ancestry.com. 1- found-census records for the father, Henry P.
Butcher from 1830-1860 and entries in a number of other databases as well. The pile on my desk began
mountin'g, and I decided it was time to step back and organize what I had located. I opened a new family file
in Family Tree Maker and began entering the information I had at that point, noting the sources as well. Since I had already noted-discrepancies in some areas, I didn't-wantto have to keep going through the
stack looking for where I had found a particular date.
I chose Family Tree Maker because it comes with the ability to search all of the Ancestry.com-databases for
all of the people I had entered into that family file. This was a timesaver when it came to searching for the
siblings, and when I found records that matched the family, I was able to merge them into the file through
the web merge tool. This made citing the sources a breeze.
-

More Creative Searches
Recognizing that I'd also want to-do some more creative searches, particularly for years in which I wasn't
able to locate the family, I also went directly to the databases in some cases. I went to the main search
page at Ancestry.com (www.ancestry;comlsearchl)andselectedGeorgiaonthemap.This allowed me to
see a list of the databases that were available for that state.
I spied two databases of early Georgia marriages and tried-a-search for Butcher. I wasn't able to find Henry
and either of his wives using the exact search and the Soundex option. To be thorough, I also checked under the bride's maiden name, and sure enough I found an entry for Elizabeth Wilkins and Henry Bucher.
While it was a slight variation, it was enough to change the Soundex code from B326 to B260.
Another search that I needed to be creative with was-a census search for Henry. The-online-tree-listed
Henry's place of death as Ouachita Co., Arkansas in 1864. There is no Ouachita County in Arkansas; but
there is Ouachita County. I searched the 1860 census for the surname- Butcher in Ouachita County in
Arkansas and found Henry listed as H.P. Butcher. Another son was listed on the next page with only initials
for his given and middle name as well; as were-other people-in that area; So if you are unable-to locate an
individual with a given name, try an initial. Since most ofthe census indexes at Ancestry.com are everyname indexes, you- coul~ also try the name of another member of the household.

Next Steps
The next steps will be up_to my friend. Once-I get her the-information, she may wish to contact the person
who submitted the tree online and exchange information. That person may have sources that we have not
been able to access.
She can also check the Family History Library Catalog (FHLC), as-well as libraries and archives that hold
the original copies of the records. A quick check of the FHLG has already told me that the marriage records
fo.r the c~unty where I found Henry an9 EIi,zabeth in-the index are available on microfilm at the Family
History Library. The film can also be ordered through a Family History Center near her for a nominal fee.
Research should also be done on siblings (and there are plenty of them!). Records available for Elizabeth's
brothers and sisters may lead to more clues.

�--- ........., '
/"

J

The cool part about this search was that all of it was done from home over the course of a few nights with
resources that are available online: Now-my friend hasfollow-ups-that-will keep her busy for-quite·awhile.
It has also whetted my appetite and made me anxious to dive into my own family history again. And now
that my column for thisweek is done, that is exactly-what I plan· on doing!

Ancestry Daily News Michael John Neill - 2/2/2005 _..

Lessons I Learned at the Family History·Library
Professional· responsibilities afforded· me the-opportunity. to research sporadically at the Family History
Library in Salt Lake City, Utah, for three days this January. This week we will look at some suggestions for
readers who are lucky enough to make a trek to a distant research fapility.

Catalog Dates May Be Awry
The online card catalog for. the Family History Library was a wonderful and a great tool in helping me plan
for my trip. However, sometimes the catalog can be slightly incorrect.
I encountered this on two occasions with two entirely separate sets. of records. The catalog entry' for some
Catholic baptismal records indicated the time span covered was up to 1885. While looking at the records,
the baptismal entries did only go through 1885. However, when I continued to view the materials, there was
an index to entries that covered an additional fifteen years not noted in the card catalog. While the actual
records for this later. time frame were not on the. microfilm, the index did.tell me that there were entries
afterwards and in what years those entries were recorded. If I had stopped when the actual christening
records ended, I would have missed additional information.
A set of emigration papers from Ostfriesland, Germany, was also very high on my to-do list. With one-half of
my ancestors. coming from. that area· between 1850 and 1883, I had high hopes for the records. The catalog
entry indicated the information from the records started as early as the 1850s. There were references in-the
emigration records to births as early as the 1840s. The emigration. records themselves-however actually
dated from the mid-1880s, too late for my ancestors. Fortunately, my search list contained the names of
aunts and uncles who had emigrated later, and I was able to find an entry for relative TjarkJanssen who
emigrated in 1893. The record contained four pages of information on Tjark and his family.
Be Organized
Not only was my research time limited, it was spread out over three· days in two hours increments.
Consequently, lengthy projects were not practical (at least not for me). As a result I compiled a list of
lookups in records from five countries over a two-hundred-year·time·period; I would need to·be·organized.
The lookups I needed were fairly specific. To make the best use of my time, I put each lookup in a file folder
that included the following pieces of information:

�-

Call numbers for the source being used
Reasons why I was using the record'
Details that were needed to search the record
Pedigree and family-group charts where appropriate

As I prepared over a two-week time period, I kept thinking of new things to look for. As I added folders with
new lookups, I wrote in pencil on the outside of each folder what information I needed to complete the
lookup (names of parents, a date, a village, etc.) so that I had all the information I needed in the folder when
I finally arrived at the library. As I prepared, I put the-folders in two stacks: one with folders that were
"complete" and one with folders where I needed to get some facts or additional printouts from my database
before I left.
Before-I wentto the library, I visited thelibrary's-website to determine exactly what materialswereon what
floor. I did not want to be running from one floor to another and did not want to drag all my lookup folders
with me each time I went to the library. My lookups included-family histories, British records, German
records, Swiss records, and United States records. I sorted the folders by the floor where the records would
be located. There was no need to make unnecessary trips up and-down stairs!

Use the Internet Wisely
The Family History Library has numerous computer stations with Internet access as well as locations
throughout the library where a laptop computer can be connected to the Internet. I used the Internet
minimally at the library. There are miliionsofrecords-aUhe-library-1 can-use the Internet at home.
However, it was very convenient to have the library card catalog accessible in so many locations and to be
able to perform quick lookups in some online-sources if a discovery-warranted. There-were-times where a
"hot" or unexpected find required me to perform some quick searches online to make better use of mylibrary time.
-

Read Directions
The library has a relatively new machine that makes-digital copies from microfilm, and-I was anxious to try it
out. Unfortunately in my haste, I did not read all the directions and failed to complete the "burn" of my CD. I
thought I had saved my images on-theCDI purchased at the Family History Library, but I did not. However,
since I kept precise track of what records were searched (and for whom I was searching), reproducing the
searches was-relatively easy. Adequate preparation-makes library research easier and- facilitates the
tracking of what work has been done.
Is It in Storage?
Not everything the Family-History Library has in its collection is located on site. The library has some
materials in storage that must be retrieved. The online card catalog will indicate what materials are not
housed atthe main library. Patrons can e-mail the libraryinadvanceoftheir visit and-have the materials
ready when they arrive. These items in storage cannot be requested immediately just because I flew 1 ;000
miles and missed three connecting flightstoarrive-in-Salt lake-(oops ...thafs another story). If there had
been any items I needed from storage, I should have made the request before I left on my trip.
Decide How You Work
Having led research trips and having prepared for numerous library- trips myself, I have- read more-about trip
preparation than a person probably should. However, I tend to stick to research practices that work well for
me-the way I am, and the way my mind works. This does-not mean thatlignore sound methodology or
good genealogical practice. What it does mean is that I do not radically change the way I organize or plan
my research. I constantly tweak how-I organize and plan, but do-not make- major changes.-My ancestors
confuse me enough without using-a new process to confuse me even more.
Since I do little of my initial analysis on a computer, I opted to not take-my laptop in the-library. For me, it
was one more thing to drag around, and I was constantly afraid I was going to leave it somewhere and
forget it.
Sincelha~e to take handwritten notes, I make-copies whenever possible; I-decided since-my time was so
short that If a record would not copy well (but was legible) that I would make a note to order the same .film
frommy local branch library. Then I could transcribe-it when I could takecmytime and wouldnotfeelrushed.

Write Your Name on Your Hard Copy Card
. ,
Copies and printouts can be made at the library at ~- nominal cost. Some-m~chmes take actual ~oney, but
all will use a copy card which can be charged up with money at several stations thro~ghout the library. The
card is more convenient than carrying change or running to get change~ The suggestion to put yo~r name
on your card is one that should be heeded. I did not. Somew~ere in the library was a copy card with nearly
ten dollars of unused copy money on it-without my- name on It.
A Great Experience
.
.
.
The Family History Library in Salt Lake is an ~xcellentplace to resear~hi If the opport~mtypre~e~ts Its,elf..
As for me, I'll be returning in September of this year when the Federatlon.of Genealogl~al Socletle~ hosts It
annual conference at the Salt Palace Cqnvention Center-. And I'll-be runmng around domg ~o~eqYlck
lookups in two-hour increments. You can be assured I'll write my name on my copy card this time!

Megan Smolenyak Smolenyak - 1/28/2005

Networking_ via MyFamily;com Sites It's no secretthat oneofthe most effective ways-to move your research forward is networking~finding,and
interacting with the many others who hold pieces of your family history puzzle or at least have easier
access to them; The Internet has made it easier than-ever to-find those-scattered third-and-fifth-cousins you
want to swap details and photos with. But sometimes the sheer volume of distant cousins can overwhelm
an avid genealogist, especially if you- find-yours elf-in-the-middleman-position , trying to keep every,one
informed of the latest discoveries.
Been There; Done That
In the early 1990s, I found myself in exactly-this-situation. Thankstoa-CD-phone directory-{state of the art
at the time!), I finally stumbled across some other Smolenyaks. Better yet, one ofthem was as enthusiastic
about pursuing our- roots as-I was. When-we-compared notes, we-realized-that there were -stillimore of us
out there, so we both made a lot of phone calls and wrote a lot of letters. In short order, we were blissfully
in'undated-with new contacts and genealogical data.
'
,

We felt an obligation to keep all who had contributed in the loop with our progress, but this soon became a
time-consuming task, We launched-a, newsletter- for-those with-Smolenyak-connections. Since ;we all hail
from a village where everyone is related, our little newsletter was passed around, and our community
developed-into-avillage-based society. This was-good news, but-also-ca~ed our coststo-soa~. After C! few
years, we realized that we needed to look for another way to communicate. That's when we discovered' an
online-solution.
.
MyFamily.com
With-the growing popularity of the Internet, we thought it might-be-a-good-idea- to steer:-members-of our
community to an online home where our costs would be more manageable. Recognizing that it would-take
folkssome-time-to-make-the transition,we-decided-tocontinue-the-newsletter as we did-so, and, in all, we
overlapped for three years. But in December 1998, we boldly staked our claim to a piece of cyberspace for
our-village, and "The-Osturna Family-""omepa~~ was-Iaunched-on-My~amily.com.
Why MyFamily? While I'm an ace detective when it comes to finding information on the Internet, I'm not as
handy-at-putting it-out-there. I wanted-to-concentrate more on-content-and-Iess on lay-Out, so-I-Iooked for
pre-fab solut~ons. I ~Iso wanted to at least partially extricate myself from the middleman role, if only because
I was-becommg-a bIt-of-a- bottleneck-due to-all-my-travel.-My~amily-provided what I needed-a-private site
(password-protected, so only fellow Osturnites can get in) where we could all easily share our genealogical
gems, photos, and- news-of everyday-lives.

When I decided to write this article, I naturally posted to our site for input, and this comment from Denise
Kovalchik-Mollo-is-typical:
"I am-very-happy-withthe-Osturna-website; My-Bad, Emil, was the-second-youngest-of-11-children~ I-r~ally
did not know my grandfather too well as he passed away when I was only 4. My dad knew little about
Osturna- and-his relatives. The Osturna-website-and-the family-tree-all helpedcpuHogether a-story-abolij my

and-really- helped-me"to-know what-kind-of person-my-grandfather-was; He-wanted a-better life-for himself
and his family. He came over with very little money and built a new life. He was very proud of Ostuma and
proud-of his-fa~ily."
One Is Not Enough
l-suppose-the-facHhat-one-of our members-Lisa-Alzo-(my husband's thirdcousin)-recently-wrote "Ma~ing
the Most of MyFamily.com" for the November/December 2004 issue of Ancestry magazine is another \

geographically-oriented-ones (such as Rusyn-Villages-l;}nder- Dukla).
The sites are easy to establish and require no web design skills. And the cost is modest, but you can try it
tree for thirty days to-be-sure it works for your purposes-. If-you've-got-anextended family-group-orbelong to
a genealogical organization of some sort, you just might want to take a peek. In five minutes, you can be up
and running!
[Incidentally, many of you are aware of the Ancestry;comlMyFamily;com-affiliation and know-that Ancestry
Daily News is a part of this corporate family, but I'd like to make it clear that writing on this topic was my
own idea-and-with six-years and nine-sites, Ihope-it'sobvious-thatl'mgenuinely a satiSfied-customer!]
A Musical P.S.

Who Took This Picture?
How many times have you looked at your unidentified-family pictures and wanted to know-when
they were taken or who's depicted? Like many genealogists, I use the databases on
Ancestry.com to search for family· information, but 1- have-a-secret. I collect unidentified
photographs to use as examples in my writings and often need to know when a photographer
was in business. A variety of the-Ancestry.comdatabases help-me,determine-that information.
You too can use these databases to establish a tentative date range for your family photographs
based on the material you collect on the- person who· took the- pictu reo
Standard photo identification techniques include identifying the photographic method, examining
costume· clues, using genealogical- material, and- investigating-a- photographer's imprints. An
imprint is the printed or embossed information on the photographer that appears on an image.
This includes partial or full names, street addresses and town· of operation, services,' and even
patent clues. You can find imprints on the front or the back of a card photograph (a paper print
mounted on cardboard).
If an imprint mentions where a photographer had his-studio, I'll skip to the advanced search
page of the Ancestry website to select databases for a specific state or a particular type of
resource. Here are a few that I find helpful.

Directories and Membership Lists
One of the best ways to establish a time frame for a photographer is to search city directories for
a span of years. Thankfully, a wide-range of these volumes has been digitized by Ancestry.com.
Select the state, then the resource--"Directories and Membership Lists," as well as the specific
one you want to consult. The search page then allows you to type in the surname or full name of
a photographer along with a keyword like the specific term they- used to describe themselves
such as daguerreotypist or the name of the street on which they were located. Business sections
of the directories as well as the name listings are· scanned for matches. It's important to check
several year's worth of directories because you are trying to verify exactly how long a
photographer operated their studio at a. particular street address. For instance, you· may h~ve
several pictures taken by a photographer, but each imprint has him on a different street. Finding
that photographer at the exact address as the one on your picture provides you with a date
range frame for the image.
Directories are also useful for filling in missing information. If you have only a·surname for the
photographer, a directory search provides their first name--information you can use in the'
future.
'
To effectively search for a photographer you need· the following :
• A surname or company name
• A locality
Use directories to:

�• Verify a photographer's dates of operation
• Discover their full name
• Find a business listing for their studio
Census Records
Since directory coverage isn't complete-for rural-areas and- not every directory- is accessible
online, a series of census records for a photographer can act as a substitute source with some
caveats. For instance, a census won't tell you the address of their studio because-you!1I find them
listed within a household rather than at a business address; however, a census record will
confirm their town of their residence. Hopefully this will- match the data on your photograph.
There is another caution. In the early days of photography, many shop owners offered portraits
to attract customers and extra rev~nue. When the census enumerator asked for their
occupation, instead of "photographer" these individuals usually stated their full-time job.
Family and Local Histories
Since June 2004 researchers have been able to- search digitized versions of published
genealogies and local histories using the Family and Local Histories Collection on Ancestry.com.
If you subscribe, try searching for a photographer's name instead of Uncle Earl. You might be
surprised at what you locate. Sure, you won't need the genealogy of the photographer's family
(unless they are a relative), but you might discover a biographical sketch of that photographer
that details when he had a studio. It's even possible that your ancestor's visit was more th~m a
business transaction. A photographer might have emigrated- from the same area as your relative
or belonged to the same social groups.
Newspapers
Not having any luck finding your photographer usingthe-above-resources? Try the- Historical
Newspaper Collection for stories, advertisements, or an obituary.
Photo identification is about adding up the facts. No one-piece-of information- dates a
photograph. It's the accumulation of the details that provide a time frame for an image. Knowing
when the photographer who took your grandfather's picture-was in business is just the first step.
You'll still have to examine the clothing worn in the picture for a possible date and consult your
genealogy to see if your identification is correct; You!JI probably need to research- clothing styles
and ask relatives for family data to solve your photo mystery.
'
Let's face- it. Not everything you-'ll need- is online, but it's a-good-start. Treating photographers
like a relative might lead to your next big family history discovery. You may find that the picture
you've always thought was your great-grandmother might be-older than you think--all because
you took the time to learn more about the photographer who took it.

No place in the broad Union has had so conspicuous a history in the progress of
slavery emancipation and the cvents of the war as Lawrence. the eOllnty scat of
Douglas county. In enrly dill'S it was by generulconscnt called the" City of Free·
dom," and was really. tluring the slll"cry agitation of 1854-5-6, the only place in the
territory where it was safe to speak against the institution of sla,·ery. Its thrill.
ing blstory of suffering. prcccdlDg and during the war. has give;' it the significant
appellation of the" Historic City."
The town was originally settled by a colony from New England. under the
auspices of the New England Emigraut Aid Society, with a few from other States
who fell in by tbe way. This party len Massachusetts July 17, 1854, and arrived
and camped on· the site of the present State University, coming witb ox teams pur·
chased in Missouri, about noon on Tuesday, August 1,1854. In two weeks aner, n
second party, numbering some sixty or seventy, under the supervision of Dr. Charles
Robinson and S. C. Pomeroy, arrived. These were aoon followed by a third and
fourth party, which matcrinllyangmented the numbers of the colony. The infant

cultivation of harmony and order. The first winter WIIS ono of great hardship, the
people mostly living in sod houses and shanties made of clap-boards. At the first
election-an election for delegates to Congress only-November 8,1854, there Was
great excitement, and a man by the name of Davis attacked a pro-sla,.cry man,
named Kibhee with a bowie-knife, with execrations and oaths, threatening to .. cut

Kansas, and occurred about two miles south of Lawrence. Kibbee was arrested,

OUR ENSLAVEMENT' ,
TSB DAV

On the 10th of January, 1855, a school was established, Edward FitCh, teacher,
supported by voluntary contributions, and free to all. This WIIS the first free school
In Kansas, and Was the commencement of free schOOls. The winter of 1854-.~ Was
passed with no dangerous Violence, but on the 80th of lIIarch, 1855, about 700 armed
men from Missouri voted at the election for members of the Legislature; but, o"ing
to the overwhelming numbers of the pro.slavery men, none of them were chailenged,
and the enemy, who camped on the town Site, departed for Missouri the next mom.
ing. Silas Bond was shot at and driven from the polls because he was regarded as
an obnoxious Free.State man.
The first Fourth of July celebration in Lawrence was largely attended, and was
defiantly Anti.Slavery, Gov. Charles Robinson delivering the address and John
Speer presenting the toasts. In the summer, Col. James H. Lane and others made a
futile effort to organize the National Democratic party, but the meeting resulted in a
can of the Free-State citizens for a convention at Lawrence early in August, and that
meeting provided for the historic Big Springs Convention, held September II, 1855.
In June, 1855, a meeting was held in Lawrence, John Speer presiding, at which
resolutions were adopted to resist any laws which might be passed by the Legislature, and declaring that that body WIIS elected by armed Usurpers from Missouri.
This Was really the commencement of the war in Kansas. Charles W. Dow, a peaceable, unoffending :F'ree.State man, was murdered near BaMwin City, November 21,
1855, by Franklin N. Coleman, nnd \he rescue oC Jacob Branson by a band of FreeStste men from Sheriff Jones, with a posse of about an equal number, followed.
This brought on wbat has become historic as the Wakarusa war. Twelve hundred
Pro-Slavery men, prinCipally from lIIissouri, besieged Lawrence. and about six hun_
dred Free-State nlen, under the command of Gov. Charles Robinson as Commander_
in-Chief, and James H. Lane as Brigadier-General, defended the place. Five forts
of earthwork or rifle pits, were erected, and a vigorous defense prepared for.
Finally a kind of treaty of peace was patched up, and the Pro.Slavery men returned
to :&amp;Iissouri. During the scige Thomas W. Barber, a peaceable F~tate man, was
murdered. A State Convention to nominate a candidate for Governor under the
Topeka Constitution, was held in Lnwrence·on the22d of December, 1855; Ilt which
Charles Robinson received the nomination.
The first Territorial Legislature passed a law inflicting the penalty of death for
enticing away or in nny manner aiding a fugitive slave, and imprisonment oC not less
than two years for writing, printing or publishing" noy denial of tho., right of persons to hold sla,·es in this Territory," and fixing tbe 15th day of September, 11!55,

Jones appeared ill Ihe town wilh n cOlllpany of United 8tales drogoons, and arrested a.

and dangerousl y wounded. The act was denounced by Ii publ ic meetmg of Free-State.
men. but a perfect reign of terror followed, and La~nee WIIS again threatened wilh
destruction. On the 21st of Mny, Jones, partly recovered from his wound, entered
the town with a body of UnIted Slates troops, and a large number of Pro-Slaverymilitia. principally from MIssouri. and destroyed the Ji'ree-StatIJ and Herald of Freedom prmting offices, the Free-Stute hotel, Gov. Robinson's dwelling on ]I[ollnt Oread,.
and pIllaged. and robbCd stores and private nouses. About the same time, Messrs.
Hoyt, Stewart and Jones, Free.Stnte men, 'were murdered, and Cbarles Robinson,.
John Brown. Jr., G. W. Smith, H. H. Williams, G. W. Deitzler, G. W. Brown, and.
Gaius Jenkins, were imprisoned in tents ncar Lecompton, gnarded by United States.
St,ldlers, having been arrested on a chnrge of treason. About the last of September
2,700 Pro-Slavery men appeared in SIght of Lawrence, and the town was tempora...
rily defended by Free-Stute men, under the command of :Maj. J. B. Abbott •.
until Gov. Geary, who had just arm-ed ia the territory, interposed for their
protection with United States troops. A Pro-Slavery fort at Hickory Point, thirty'
lUiles north of Lawrence, was enptured by a body oC Free-Stute men, two of the.
enemy killed, and the night Coli owing one hundred and one of the Free-Stute men.
were arrested on charges of murder and treason, by United States troops, and con ..
fined in prison at Lecompton.
Gov. Geary, for his attempts to protect Lawrence and the Free.Stute men, had his,
life threatened, and wasactunlly compelled 10 arm these prisoners for his own defense,.
und finally left the territory. The Free·St:tle men from this time grew in strength,.
anti in 1857 a Convention was held at 'Lawrenee which determined to participate in.'
the election under the .. bogns laws." Frouds were perpetrated at Oxford, on the,
Stute hne, by which it was hoped to cheat the district, of which Lawrence was a part, .
out of the election of three members of the TerritorIal Council, and seven members.
of the House.
A party ";"ent from Lawrence to hang the judges of election at that place, and a.
rene"'alof scenes of violence became imminent. The returns of the Oxford elec.
tion.were rejected hy the returning bo:trd, composed of Gov. 1Valker and Secretary'
Stanton, and an extra session of the Legislature called to devise measures for the tak ..
ing of a fSlr vote On the Lecompton Conslitution. This constitution was formed at.
u.'COmpton, and was ingeniously fram~&lt;l for the purpose of establishing slavery in
the proposed State of Kansas, without submitting that question to a vote oC the peo ..
pIe, and was a cause of the renewal of the slavery excitement.. Lecompton was tben
t~e heudquarters of the Pro-Slavery men, and with every obtainable vehicle, about.
eIght hundred armed men, with Gen. JIlmes H. Lane at their head, escorted the trio
umphant Frec-State Legislature from Lawrence to Lecompton. Thenceforward the
Free-Stute men were in power in the Territory, and the Territorial Legislatures oC'
1858, '59 and '50 adjourned from Lecompton and held their sessions in Lawrence.
. The First and Second Kansas Regiments, and other troops for the war, were organ.
lZed at Lawrence. The city grew ~pidly during the firstyenrs of that war.
August, 21, 1863. tbe lUost terrible massacre of the war occurred at Lawrence. At
~he dawn of day, WID. C. QUllntrill, a notorious bushwhacker and guerrilla, dashed
Into the town, meeting many of the unarmed citizens in their night clothes. ThB
town was pillaged and burned, 160 citizens were murdered, leaving 80 widows and
250 orphans, and property amounting 10 about 12,000,000 dcstroy~-d. Two solid

Paula Stuart Warren, CGRS - 4/28/2005

We Should Thank Them Too!
I do have to admit to having grumbled a time or two about a librarian or a clerk in the courthouse. I may
have gritted my teeth about an archivist or other staff person somewhere I have researched. Most times I
don't have such reactions after a research visit. I recently had one of those proverbial "light bulbs" switch on
in my brain. In genealogy, "we" have sometimes given some of these folks a bad rap. Of course,l advocate
sending a thank you note when you have had a pleasant research experience. But there are other facets of
their work that also deserve our thanks.

Advance Preparation
Sometimes our disappointment with the person behind the desk or counter is actually our owr:' doing. We
can solve that ourselves. Did you just show up at a library or archive without being prepared? Did you
check to see if there was a website with information on that repository? Did you not call ahead to check the
hours of the probate office? Did you check to see whether there is an online catalog of that place's holdings
so that you even know if the records you seek are actually at.that place?
Sharing Knowledge
For many years I was in charge of the exchange publications for my state genealogical society. Many
genealogical societies exchange their monthly or quarterly publications with other societies. This affords
members of a society access to many publications. Of course, I delighted in being able to skim through a
large stack of publications every couple of weeks. I noted that in many localities the meetings, classes, and
seminars had sessions presented by area librarians, staff from courthouses, and archives staff members.
They were sharing their knowledge with area genealogists. Some are done on their regular job time and the
institution is paying for their time or giving them compensatory "time off" from work.
Major Commitments
In the United States alone in the last ten years there has been an impressive list of personnel from major
repositories who have given extended service and time to our genealogical organizations. Immediately what
comes to mind are volunteer positions such as officers and board members of state and national level
genealogical societies or chairpersons and program chairs of major state, regional, and national
genealogical conferences. Yet others have served on committees that also require a time commitment.
The repositories know that this service serves as a positive public face for their institution. Among the many
such places whose staff have given their time to serve the genealogy field are the Allen County Public
Library (Fort Wayne, Ind.), Arizona State Library, Daughters of the American Revolution Library, Denver
(Colo.) Puqlic Library, Family History Library, Minnesota Historical Society, U.S. National Archives,
Newberry Library (Chicago, III.), New England Historic Genealogical Society, Wisconsin Hi~torical Society,
and many other local and state research repositories.

Joining and Donating
Have you joined an organization, donated materials, or visited a repository after interaction with one of their
employees via a genealogical society? When visiting or joining it would be helpful if you remarl(ed that you
did so because you have become acquainted with that specific staff person and heard them talk about the
wonderful research resources at the place where they ~ork.
Writing Articles
Many of these staff members also write articles for local and national genealogical publications. The vast
majority of these are not for pay and some are written, with permission, on that repository's time. The writer

�Ancestry.com - We Should Thank Them Too!

Page 2 of2

shares genealogical knowledge and may write extensively about the research repository for which they
work. These articles are another positive public face for that repository and also are a help to the editor.

It's Not Just Time
Many major repositories have given to genealogical organizations in monetary ways. Some do provide
funds for their employee to travel to a distant conference or society board meeting. Some allow the staff
person to use the repository copier or computer to handle some of the volunteer duties. Others actually add
the volunteer service to the person's job description and realize it does take away time from that person's
"regular" job duties but they realize the benefit of the service. The repository may do some special
advertising for an event their staff member is associated with or may lend their mailing list for publicity
purposes.
Why do they do this? It goes a long way to bridging the gap between genealogists and the staff at the
institution, it helps in preparing the genealogist to visit the repository, and it gives the repository a favorable
public face among thousands of researchers.

That Positive Publicity
Every time one of these wonderful persons serves in one or more of the positions mentioned above, the
institution or society for which they work gets extensive publicity. Their biographies (or presentation
introductions when they lecture) usually mention the name ofthe repository. Every time they serve as
volunteers, we genealogists benefit from their time and expertise. I have enjoyed serving on boards and
committees with such persons and having the opportunity to ask a question or two about research in their
state or at the place where they work.
Thank these facilities for sharing their staff people with our genealogical-organizations. Thank the
individuals, too. Join those organizations that have memberships and purchase their publications. I can
immediately name two memberships I have mainly due to being impressed by an organizational
representative I met via a genealogical board or committee. Donate to genealogical publications that you
compile to their libraries. Keep them in mind when considering monetary donations. Their time and
expertise is vital to family historians.

sequently appr"priated to the University of Kansas, which is located at Lnwrencc.
Early 10 Octob~r, 18M, Andrew n. Reeder, the tlrst governor of Kansas, arrived,
had a reception, a festival, and a speech of welcome by lIon. S. C. Pomeroy, and
made a conciliatory speech, evading tbe slavery question, and recommcnding the
cultivation of hannony and ortler. The first winter was ono of grellt barnship, the
people mostly living In sod houses and shanties made of clap-boards. At the first
election-no election for delegatcs to Congress only-November 8,1854, there was
great excitement, and 0 man by tbe name of Davis' attacked a pro-sla"cry man,
named Kibbee with a bowie-knife, with execrations and oaths, threatening to "cut
his abolition hean out," w,hen Kibbee shot Davis. This was the first homicide in
KBDBIIB, and occurred about two miles south of La"'renee, Kibbee was arrested,
held In prison at Fon LeB\"enworth for a short time, bailed out, but never tried.
On tho 10th of January. 18M, a scbool "'as established. Edward Fitch, teacber,
supponed by voluntary contributions, and free to all. This was the first free school
In Kansas, and was the commencement of free 'schools. The winter of 1S.5f-.~ was
passed 'with no dangerous violence, but on the 80th of :March, 18M, about 700 armed
men from Missouri voted at the election for members of the Legislature; but, o"ing
to the overwhelming numbers of the p~lavl'ry men, none of them were chaileuged,
and the enemy, who camped on the town slle, departed for Missouri the next mom·
,fng. Silas Bond was shot at and driven from the polls because he was regarded as
an obnoxious Free..8tate man.
'
The first Fourth of July celebration In Lawrence was largely attended, and was
defiantly Antl.Slavery. Gov. Charles Robinson deliveriug the address and John
Speer presenting the toasts. In the summer, Col. James H. Lane and others made a
futile effon to organize the National Democratic party, but the meeting ~ulted in a
call of the Free·State citizens for a convention at Lawrence early In August, and that
meeting provided for the historic Big Springs Convention, held September Ii. 1855.
iii June, 18M. a meeting was beld In Lawrence, John Speer presiding, at which
resolutions were adopted to resist any laws which might be passed, by the Legisl..
ture. and declaring that that body was elected by armed usurpers from ![issourl.
Thla was really the commencement of the war In Kansas. Charles W. Dow, a peaceable, unoffendlng :Frec-State man, was murdered near Bal&lt;1wln City, November 21.
18M. b1 Franklin N. Coleman, and \he rescue of Jacob Branson by a band of FreeState men from Sherifi' Joncs, with a posse or about an equal number, followed.
This brought on what has becomo historic as the Wakarusa war. Twelve hundred
Pro.Slavery men, principally from Missouri, besieged Lawrence, and about six hun.
dred Free.Staie nlen, under tho command of Gov. Charles Robinson as Commander.
In.Chlef, and James H. Lane as Brigadier.General. defended the place. Five forts
of earthwork or rifle pits, were erected, and a vigorous defense prepared for.
Finally a kind of treaty of peace was patched up, and the Pro-Slavery men returned
to ![issourl. ,Durlog the scige Thomas W. Barber, a peaceable Free.State man, was
murdered. A State cOnvention to nominate a candidate for Governor under the
Topeka Constitution, was held In Lawrence on the 22d of December, l~!i; at which
Charles Robinson received the nomination.
The first Territorial Legislature paSsed a law Infiicting tho penalty of death for
enticing away or In any manner aiding a fugitive slave, and imprisonment or not II'8S
than two years for writing, printing or publishing" any denial of tho- right of )IeI"
sons to hold sla,'cs In this Territory," and fixing the 15th day of September, 1!!S5,

and dangerously wounded. The act wns denounced by Ii public meetlDg of Free-State·
men. but a perfect reign of terror followed, and La~nce wns Ilgain threatened with
destruction. On the 21st of Mny, Jones, pllrtly recovered frOID bis wound, entered

Gains Jenkins, "'ere imprisoned in tents ncar Lecompton, guarded by United Staten.

2,700 P~lavery men appeared in sIght oC Lawrence, and the town was telDpora.·
rl1y. defended by Free..State men, under .the command of Maj. J. D. Abbott •.
until Gov. Geary, who had just arm'ed in the territory, Interposed for their
protection witb United States troops. A Pi'oSlaver'y fort at Hickory Point, thirty'
tulles north of La\vrence, was citptured by a body of :Free-State men, two oC the'
enemy killed, and the night following one hundred and one of the Free-State men
were arrested on ebarges of murder and treason, by United States troops, and con·
lined in prison at LecoDlpton.
Gov. Geary, for bis attempts to protect Lawrence and the Free.State men, 'had his,
liCe tbreatened, and wasactulllly compelled to arm these prisoners for his own defense,.
nnd IInally left the territory. The Free·St:lle men from this time grew in strength,
and in 1857 a. Conventionwas helll at Lawrence which determined to participate in.'
tbe election under the to bogns laws." Fmuda were perpetmted at Oxford, on the,
State hne, by "'hlch it was hoped to eheat.the district, of which Lawrence was a part,
out oC tbe election oC three .members of the TerritorIal Council, and seven members.
of the 1I0use.
A pafty went from Lawrence to hang the Judges oC election at that place, and a.
renewal of scenes of violence becilme imminent. The returns of tbe Oxford elee.
tion ,,'ere rejected by the returning board, composed of Gov. Walker and Secretary
Stant.)n, and an extra session oC the Legislature called to devise measurea for tbe tak-·
ing oC a flllr vote on the Lecompton Constitution. This constitution was formed at.
u-compton, and was ingeniously fmmed for the purpose of establishing slavery in
the proposed State of Kansas, without submitting that question to a vote of the peo·
Ille, and was a cause of the renewal of the slavery excitement. Lecompton was tben
t~e headquarters of tbe Pro-Slavery men, and. with every obtainable vehicle, about.
eight hundred armL'&lt;\ men, with Gen. J"IUes H. Lane at their head, escorted the triumphant Frec-State Legislature from Lawrence to Lecompton. Thenceforward the
Free-State Iilen were In power in the Territory, and the Territorial Legislatures of
1858, '59 and '60 adjourned from Lecompton and held their scssions in Lawrence.
Tbe First and Sec~nd Kansas Regiments, and other troops for t1ie war, were organized at Lawrence. The city grew ~pidly during the drilt years oC that war.
August. 21, 1863. the most terrible mnSsllCre of the war occurred at Lawrence. At
~be dawn of day, '~m. 6. QUllotrlll, a notorious bushwhacker and guerrilla, dashed

Paula Stuart Warren, CGRS - 4/2.8/2005

We Should Thank Them Too!
I do have to admit to ha,ving grumbled a time or two about a librarian or a clerk in the courthouse. I may
have gritted my teeth about an archivist or other staff person somewhere I have researched. Most times I
don't have such reactions after a research visit. I recently had one of those proverbial "light bulbs" switch on
in my brairf. I n genealogy, "we" have sometimes given some of these folks a bad rap. Of course, I advocate
sending a thank you note when you have had a pleasant research experience. But there are other facets of
their work that also deserve our thanks.
.
Advance Preparation
Sometimes our disappointment with the person behind the desk or counter is actually our own doing. We
can solve that ourselves. Did you just show up at a library or archive without being prepared? Did you
check to see if there was a website with information on that repository? Did you not ·call ahead to c.heck the
hours of the probate office? Did you check to see whether there is an online catalog of that place's holdings
so that you even know if the records you seek are actually at that place?
Sharing Knowledge
For many years I was in charge of the exchange publications for my state genealogical society. Many
genealogical societies exchange their monthly or quarterly publications with other societies. This affords
members of a society access to rpany pubHcations. Of course, I delighted in being able to skim through a
large stack of publications every couple of weeks. I noted that in many localities the meetings, classes, and
seminars had sessions presented by area librarians, staff from courthouses, and archives staff members.
They were sharing their knowledge with area genealogists. Some are done on their regular job time and the
institution is paying for their time or giving them compensatory "time off' from work.

Major Commitments
In the United States alone in the last ten years there has been an impressive list of personnel from major
repositories who have given extended service and time to our genealogical organizations. Immediately what
comes to mind are volunteer positions such as officers and board members of state and national level
genealogical societies or chairpersons and program chairS of major state, regional, a!1d national
genealogical conferen~es. Yet others have served on committees that also require a time commitment.
The repositories know that this service serves as a positive public face for their institution. Among the many
such places whose staff have given their time to serve the genealogy field are the Allen County Public
Ubrary (Fort Wayne, Ind.), Arizona State Ubrary, Daughters of the American Revolution Ubrary, Denver
(Colo.) Pu~lic Ubrary, Family History Ubrary, Minnesota Historical Society, U.S. National Archives, .
Newberry Ubrary (Chicago, III.), New England Historic Genealogical Society, Wisconsin Hi~orical'Society,
.and many other local and state research repositories.'
.
Joining and Donating
Have you joined an organization, donated materials, or visited a repository after interaction with one of their
employees via a genealogical society? When visiting or joining it would be helpful if you remarked that you
did so because you have become acquainted with that specific staff person and heard them talk about the
wonderful research resources at the place where they "York.
.
Writing Articles
Many of these -staff members also write articles for local and national genealogical publications. The vast
majority ofthese·are not for pay and some are written, with permission, on that repository's time. The writer

�Ancestry.com - We Should Thank Them Too!

shares genealogical knowledge and may write extensively about the research repository for which they
work. These articles are another positive public face for that repository and also are a help to the editor.

It's Not Just Time

__

Many major repositories have given to genealogical organizations in monetary ways. Some do provide
funds for their employee to travel to a distant conference or society board meeting. Some allow the staff
person to use the repository copier or computer to handle some of the volunteer duties. Others actually add
the volunteer service to the person's job description and realize it does take away time from that person's
"regular" job duties but they realize the benefit of the service. The repository may do some special
advertising for an event their staff member is associated with or may lend their mailing list for publicity
purposes.
Why do they do this? It goes a long way to bridging the gap between genealogists and the staff at the
institution, it helps in preparing the genealogist to visit the repository, and it gives the repository a'favorable
public face among thousands of researchers.

That Positive Publicity
Every time one ofthese wonderful ,persons serves in one or more ofthe pOSitions mentioned above, the
institution or SOCiety for which they work gets extensive publicity. Their biographies (or presentation
introductions when they lecture) usually mention the name of the repository. Every time they serve as
volunteers, we genealogists benefit from their time and expertise. I have enjoyed serving on boards and
committees with such persons and having the opportunity to ask a question or two about research in their
.
.
state or at the place where they work.
Thank these facilities for sharing their staff people with our genealogical organizations. Thank the
individuals, too. Join those organizations that have memberships and purchase their publications. I can
immediately name two memberships I have mainly due to being impressed by an organizational
representative I met via a genealogical board or committee. Donate to genealogical publications that you
compile to their libraries. Keep them in mind when considering monetary donations. Their time and
, expertise is vital to family historians.

No "lace in the broad Union has hall so conspicnous a history in the progress of
slavery emaneillation and tho evenls of the war as Lawrence, the connty scat oC
Douglas county. In early days it "'as by genen.lconscnt called the" City oC'Free·
dOD\"~ and was really. during the sllwery agitation of 1854-5-6, the only plnce in tbe
territory wbere it was safe to speak agaiust the institution of ~Iavery. Its thrill.
ing hIstory of suffering, precedlDg and during the "'ar, has given It the,signiflcant
appellation of the" Historic City ...
the town was originally settled by a colony from New England. under tbe
auspices of the New England Emigrant Aid Society, with a few from oUler States
who fcll i!l by tbe way. This party len Massacbusetts July 17. 1854. and arrivcd
and camjJed on the site of tho prescnt State University, coming with ox teams pur·
chased in Missouri. about noon on Tuesday. August 1.1854. In two weeks aner, a
second party, numbering some sixty or sevcnty, under the supervision of Dr. Charles
Robinson and S. C. Pomeroy. atrlved. These were soon followed by a third and
fourth party. which materially augmented the numbers of the colony. The infant
clly was known by the names of Wakarusa and New Boston-the Missourians call.

eequently apprilprinted to the University of Kansas, which is located at Lawrence.
Early in Octob:lr, 1854, Andrew II. needer, the first governor of Kansas, arrived,
,had a reccption, a festival, and a speech of welcome by Hon. S. C. Pomcroy, and
made a conciliatory speech, evading tile slavery question, nnd recommeoding the
cultivation of harmony' and order. The first "'Inter WIIS one of great hardsbip, tbe
people mostly living In sod houses, and sbanties made of clap-boards. At thc first
election-no,election for delegates to Congress only-November' 8, It154, tbere W88
great excitement, and' D-man by, tbe name of Davis attacked a pro-sla"cry man,
Damed Kibbee with a bowie-knife, with execrations and oatbs, threatening to "cut
his abolition beart out," when Kibbe8 sbot Davis. Tbls was the first bomicide"in
Kansas, and occurred about two miles south of Lawrence, Kibbee was arrested,
held In prison at Fort'Lea\'coworth for a short time, bailed out,but ne\'er tried.
On the 10th of January, 1855, a &amp;chool was established, Edward Flteb, teacher,
supported by voluntary contributions, and free to all. This was the first free scbool
In Kansas, and was the commimcement of free scbools. The winter of 1854-.') was
passed with no dangerous violence, but on the 80tb of 1IIarcb, 18511, about 700 armed
meD from Missouri voted at the election for member.! of the Legislature; but, o"'ing
to the overwbelming Dumbers of the pro-slavery men, Done of them were chailengcd,
and the eDemy, who camped on the town site, departed for Missouri the next mom·
ing. Silas Bond was shot at and driven from the polls because he was regarded as
an obnoxious Free-8tate man.
'
The first Fourth of July celebration in Lawrence was largely attended, and was
defiantiy btl.Slavery, Gov. Charles RobiDson de\i\'ering the address and John
, Speer presenting the toasts. In the summer, Col. James H. Lane and otberS made a
futile effort to organize tbe N aUonal Democratic party, but the meeting resulted in a
call of the Free-State citizens for a convention at Lawrence eariy in August, and tbat
meeting provided for the historic Big SpriDgs Convention, held September Ii, 1855.
In June, 1855, a meeting W88 held in Lawrence, John Speer presiding, at "'blch
resolutions were adopted to resist any laws wblcb mlgbt be passed by the Legislatore, and declaring that that body was elected by armed usurpers from )lissourl.
Thla was really the commencement of the war io Kansas. Cbarles W. Dow, a peaceable, unoffendlng :Free-8tate man, was murdered near Baldwin City, November 21,
18511, by Franklin N. Coleman, and ~he rescue br Jacob Branson by a band of FreeState men from Sberiff Jones, with a posse of about an equal number, followed. '
This brougbt on what has become historic as the Wakarusa war. Twelve hundred
.Pro-Slavery lI!en, principally from llissourl, besieged Lawrence, and about six hundred Free-State men, under tho command of Gov. Charles nobinson as Commanderin-Chief, and James H. Lane as Brigadier-General, dcfended the place. Five forts
of earthwork or rifte pits, were erected, and a vigorous defense prepared for.
Finally a kind of treaty of peace was patched uP. and the Pro-Slavery men returned
to )[jssouri. During the seige Thomas W. Barber, a peaceable Free-8tate mao, "-as
murdered. A State Convention to nominate a candidate for Governor under the
Topeka Coostliution, was hcld In Lawrence 00 tbe 22d of December, 18511; Ilt which
Charles RobiDson received the Domination.
The first Territerial Legislature passed a law Inflicting tbo penalty of destb for
enticing away or in any manner aiding a fugitive slave, and imprisonment of not less
tban two years for writing, printing or publishing" noy denial of tho- right of perSODS to hold slaves In this Territory," and fixing tbe 15tb day of September, 111M,

dozen prominent ~'rce-State men. Thnt nio-ht, while sitting in his tent Jones was shot.
. and dangerously wounded. The act was d~non~ccd bya public mcetl~g of Free-State·
men. but a perfect reign of terror followed, and La~ncc wns again threatened with
destruction. On Ule 21st of May, Jones, partly recovered frOID his wound, entered
the town with a bOdy of UDlted Slales troops, and a large number of Pro-Slavery
militia, principally froID MIBSOuri. and destroyed thc P,.ee-StnU and HdTald of F,.eedo ... printing ollIces, the Free.Statc Ilotel, Gov. Rohinson's dwcllingon Mo\mt Orel\d.

sol(lIel'8, having been arrested on a chnrge of treason. About the last of September
2,700 PrGSlavery men appeared in sight of Lawrence, and the town was tempora..·
rUy. defended by Free.State men, under the cnmmand of 1Ilaj. J. B. Abbott,.
unUl ~ov. Oeary! ~ho had just arm'cd in the territory, interposed for their
protection wllh UDlted States troops. A Pro-Slavery fort at Hickory Point, thirty·
JUlies north of Lawrence, was captured by a body of :Free-State men, t,,·o of the·
enemy killed, and the night following one hundred and one of the Free.State men:
were ar'rested on charges of murder and treason, by United States troops, and con·
.
fined in prison at Lecompton.
Gov. Geary, for his attempts to protect Lawrence and the Frce.State men, had his,
. life threatened, and was actually compelle&lt;l to arm these prisoncrs for his
defense,.
aOlI ~nally left the temtory. Tbe Free-St:lIe men from this tiine grew in strength,
and 10 1857 tL Convention was bcld a.t Lawrence which determined to participate In.·
tho election under the .. bogus laws.;' Frouds were perpetrated at Oxford, on the,
State hne, by whIch it was boped to cheat the district, of which Lawrence was a part,
out of the election of three members of the Territorial Council, and seven members.
of the 1I0use.
A party went from Lawrence to hang the judges of election at that place, and a.
reuewal of sccncs of violence became immincnt. The returns of the Oxford elec.
tiou "'cre rejected by the returning bonrd, composed of 00". Walker and Secretary
Stanton, and an extra session of the Legislature called tl) devise lDeasures for the tak.
iug of a fRlr voto on the Lecompton. Constitution. This constitution was formed at.
u-compton, and WI\S ingeniously frame\l for the purpose of cS\:llllishing slavery in
the proposed State of Kansa.s, without sUllmitting tbat question to a vote of the poo.
pie, and wasa cause of the renewal of the slavery excitement. Lecompton wa.s thcn
the headquarters of the Pro.Slavery men, and with every obtaiuable vehicle, about.
cight hundred armL,&lt;l men, with Gcn. Jamcs H. Lane at their head, escorted the trio
umphant Frcc-StRte Legislature from Lawrence to Lecompton. Thenceforward the
··Free-State men were In power In the Tcrritory, and tho Territorial Legislatures of
1858, '59 and '50 adjourned from Lecompton and held their aessions in Lawrence.
The First and Second Kansas Regiments, and other troops for the war, were org~.
Izcd at Lawrence. The city grew ~pidly during the first years of that war.
August, 21, 1863. the moot terrible maSsacre of the war occurred at Lawrence. At
~he dawn of day, ,":m: C. QUllutrlll, a nOlorious bushwhacker Rnd guerrilla, dashed
luto the to~n, meetlug many of the unllrmed citizens In their night clotbes. Tho

We Should Thank Them Too!
I do have to admit to having grumbled a time or two about a librarian or a clerk in the courthouse. I may
have gritted my teeth about an archivist or other staff person somewhere I have researched. Most times I
don't have such reactions after a research visit. I recently had one of those proverbial "light bulbs" switch on
in my brain. In genealogy, "we" have sometimes given some of these folks a bad rap. Of course, I advocate
sending a thank you note when you have had a pleasant research experience. But there are other facets of
their work that also deserve our thanks.

Advance Preparation
Sometimes our disappointment with the person behind the desk or counter is actually our own doing. We
can solve that ourselves. Did you just show up at a library or archive without being prepared? Did you
check to see if there was a website with information on that repository? Did you not call ahead to check the
hours ofthe probate office? Did you check to see whether there is an online catalog ofthat place~s holdings
so that you even know if the records you seek are actually at that place?
.
Sharing Knowledge
For many years I was in charge of the exchange publications for my state genealogical society. Many .
genealogical societies exchange their monthly or quarterly publications with other societies. This affords
members of a society access to many publications. Of course, I delighted in being able to skim through a
large stack of publications every couple of weeks. I noted that in many localities the meetings, classes, and
seminars had sessions presented by area librarians, staff from courthouses, and archives staff members.
They were sharing their knowledge with area genealogists. Some are done on their regular job time and the
institution is paying for their time or giving them compensatory "time off" from work.
Major Commitments
In the United States alone in the last ten years there has been an impressive list of perSonnel from major
repositories who have given extended service and time to our genealogical organizations. Immediately what
comes to mind are volunteer positions such as officers and board memberS of state and national level
genealogical societies or chairpersons and program chairs of major state, regional, and national
genealogical conferences. Yet others have served on committees that also require a time commitment. .
The repositories know that this service serves as a positive public face for their institution. Among the many
such places whose staff have given their time to serve the genealogy field are the Allen County Public
. Library (Fort Wayne, Ind.), Arizona State Ubrary, Daughters of the American Revolution Ubrary, Denver
(Colo.) Public Library, Family History Library, Minnesota Historical SOciety, U.S. National Archives,
Newberry L.ibrary(Chicago, III.), New England HistoricGenealogical Society, Wisconsin Historical SOciety,
and many other local and state research repositories.

JOining and Donating
Have you joined an organization, donated materials, or visited a repository after interaction with one of their
employees via a genealogical society? When Visiting or joining it would be helpful if you remarked that you
did so because you have become acquainted with that specific staff person and heard them talk about the
wonderful research resources at the place where they Y{ork.
Writing Articles
Many of these staff members also write articles for local and national genealogical publications. The vast
majority of these are not for pay and some are written, with permission, on that repository's time. The writer

�Ancestry.com - We Should Thank Them Too!

shares genealogical knowledge and may write extensively about the research repository for which they·
work. These articles are another positive public face for that repository and also are a help to the editor.

It's Not Just Time
Many major repositories have given to genealogical organizations in monetary ways. Some do provide
funds for their employee to travel to a distant conference or society board meeting. Some allow the staff
person to use the repository copier or computer to. handle some of the volunteer duties. Others actually add
the volunteer service to the person's job description and realize it does take away time from that person's
"regular" job duties but they realize the benefit of the service. The repository may do some special
advertising for an event their staff member is associated with or may lend their mailing list for publicity
purposes.
Why do they do this? It goes a long way to bridging the gap between genealogists and the staff at the
institution, it helps in preparing the genealogist to visit the repository, and it gives the repository a favorable
public face among thousands of researchers.
.

That Positive Publicity .
Every time one of these wonderful persons serves in one or more of the positions mentioned above, the
institution or society for which they work gets extensive publicity. Their biographies (or presentation
introductions when they lecture) usually mention the name of the repository. Every time they serve as
volunteers, we genealogists benefit from their time and expertise. I have enjoyed serving on boards and
committees with such persons and having the opportunity to ask a question or two about research in their
state or at the place where they work.
Thank these facilities for sharing their staff people with our genealogical organizations. Thank the
individuals, too. Join those organizations that have memberships and purchase their publications. I can
immediately name two member:ships I have mainly due to being impressed by an organizational
representative I met via a genealogical board or committee. Donate to genealogical publications that you
compile to their libraries. Keep them in mind when conSidering monetary donations. Their time and
expertise is vital to family historians.

�January- Tour of the Watkins Museum of History
February- To be announced
March- Bertha Cameron of the Shawnee Tribe
April-Trip to the Topeka Genealogical Society Library

. The Underground Railroad tour of Douglas County on October 8 was
attended by 21 people. It was very good and Tolly Wildcat, Judy Sweets,
and Wayne Wildcat were a full of information. It left us all wishing for
more. Perhaps the Society can sponsor more of these tours and certainly
this one again. Thanks, Linda, for getting this together. MB

EARLY RECOLLECTIONS OF KANSAS
AND LAWRENCE by E. G. Day.
(The following was copied from the Kansas Daily
Journal-World, Lawrence, Ks. Aug. 8, 1939.
I was born in Richland County, Ohio, Dec. 18,
1854. In 1858 my father David Bonnell Day, in
search of cheap land, moved his family to southeast
Missouri was a hot-bed of pro-slavery sentiment.
Three years later in 1861 just at the outbreak of the
Civil War, that section of the country was not a very
healthy location for Union men. They were called
by the natives "black abolitionists." So we decided
to move to Kansas. We traveled from Jefferson
City, Mo., to Leavenworth, Kan., on a Missouri river
steamboat. During this trip we were hung up on a
sandbar thirty-six house. From Leavenworth we
went to Oskaloosa. Kansas Territory was just at this
time admitted into the Union as a state. At this time
the air was full of alarms and rumors. Each county
seat was organizing and drilling companies of militia.
My father belonged to the Oskaloosa Company.
Finally a report came that the rebels were planning a
raid through Missouri into Kansas. The militia was
ordered to march down to the border to repel the
invasion. They were encamped near a farm
belonging to an old Indian by the name of "Mudeater." On this farm was a large apple orchard which
was loaded with apples. Mr. Mud-eater, being a
friendly old fellow, told the boys to help themselves
to apples and cider, which they did, not bring
afflicted with bashfulness. Needless to say they
had a jolly outing; and in thirty days were ordered
home again not having had a taste of war.
Kansas Soldiering did not always turn out so
pleasantly.
Kansas furnished more soldiers
according to population than any other state in the
Union and many of them saw plenty of strenuous
service.
In the fa" of 1862 we moved to
Lecompton, the abandoned pro-slavery capital of
Kansas territory. $50,000. had been spent on a
capital building. The walls of this building were
standing just as they were at the collapse of the
pro-slavery bubble two years before.
The
basement walls were completed and the walls of
the first story were up to about half-way, The first
story floor joist were in and the doors and window
frames were set. This woodwork was all carried
away later by the neighbors; It belonged now to
any and everybody since Kansas was a state and
Topeka was the capital.
After locating in
Lecompton, my father, who was a blacksmith by
trade, formed a partnership with Thomas Hartup
who was a wagon maker. They carried on a general

manufacturing and repair business. At this time
nearly every tool used on the farm was made by
hand so they were a very bury firm. They even.made complete wagons, but they did not make
much money. Times were hard and money was
very scarce.
I remember old Mr. Hildenbrand from the Stull
neighborhood came to the shop one day to get
some repairing done. He was complaining about
the low price of country produce. He said; "Butter
is so cheap I grease my mowi~g machine with
butter." Notwithstanding the low price of stuff the
farmer raised, the price of what they had to buy was
very high. Flour was $12. per barrel. Sugar was 25
cents per pound, coffee was out of sight, so the
poor people did without, using instead parched
grain, principally rye, together with some bitter stuff
they called coffee extract. Prints (cloth) such as
you now buy for ten to fifteen cents per yard was 40
cents per yard. Wages were low, for common labor
one dollar to $1.25 per day, for mechanics $1.50 to
$2.50 for ten hours.
Early on the morning of August 21, 1863, the
people in Lecompton saw a heavy black cloud
hanging off southeast toward Lawrence. We were
watching and wondering what was the cause.
About 8 o'clock Mr. Migliario (Mark), and Italian who
lived a couple of miles west of Lecompton, came
thru town riding on the gallop, waving his arms and
shouting; "Lawrence is burnt", Lawrence is burnt."
Then we understood the cause of the cloud. It was
smoke from the burning city. Mr. Migliario was a
stone mason and had been working in Lawrence
riding from his home and back each day. On this
morning he went as usual and when he came in
sight of Lawrence he saw the city burning he
turned back and brought the news to Lecompton,
My father and several other men secured horses
and started at once for Lawrence where they
arrived about eleven o'clock, just after Quantrill and
his raiders had left. They said it was a terrible sight:
the smoking ruins and the dead bodies lying on the
sidwalks. This was the climax of a" the years ofturmoil and strife which the people of Lawrence had
endured during the border war; and of course was a
terribk, shock. But after a short time they tightened
their belts, so to speak, and went to work and built
larger .and better than before. Among the different
businesses that survived the raid I will mention first
Wilder and Palm Wagon and Plowmakers and
general blacksmithing. I mention this firm first as I
felt more interest in them because immediately after
the raid my father went to work for them and worked
for them a year. The next spring we moved to

everyone was shocked as was the whole nation.

�The whole country at this time was rejoicing over
the close of the war. This tragedy was a terrible
shock to the South as well as the North. For the
South realized that in his death they had lost their
best friend.
West Lawrence from Seventh to Ninth street and
from Mississippi street west was a comfield. Central
Park was a hole in the ground. And South Park was
a fruit tree nursery. It was leased to a man named
Phillips. His lease specified that at its expiration he
should leave shade trees distributed over the park.
The business of the town was confined principally
to the seven and eight hundred blocks. I can
remember when there was nothing on the east side
of Massachusetts Street from the Patee theater
location on south to ninth except a livery stable and
a blacksmith shop. Just across Tenth street where
Carter's garage is now located was Governor's
lumber yard. At this time natural gas had not arrived
and electricity was not in use. Some time later a gas
factory was erected for the purpose of
manufacturing gas from coal. The factory was
located on Eighth Street between New Jersey and
Pennsylvania. The city was then lighted with gas.
"Jack the Lamp Lighter' would start out in the
evening with his little ladder, set it up against a
lamp-post, jump up and strike a match and turn a
valve and the light was on, and on he would go to
the next post. There was no paving on the streets.
It was dust in the dry time and mud in the wet. The
sidewalks where there were any were board walks.
The yards were fenced in. A number of the people
kept cows and these cows were allowed to roam
where they pleased, so it was necessary to fence
the yards. We had a cow and my little sister Ella and
I used to go out near the old windmill and drive our
cow home each evening. There was no bottled
milk. The milkman would drive around in a I~tle onehorse wagon and deliver@!?'to his customers. He'would stop at the gate and ring his little bell and the
customer would come out and he would measure
the milk into the pitcher and drive on to the next
stop. This was not quite up to the sanitary ideas of
today.

�Dear Genealogists:

t

Knowing what a valuable tool obituaries can be for genealogists. ,I have been
clipping obituaries from the Los Angeles Times and the Orange County Register.
As I clip them. I sort them by counties and send them to ltle genealogical society that
has a connection with the person in the obituaries. I am enclosing the ones I have
collected for your county and I hope these will be of som~ use to your members. I am
more than happy to continue sending them to you. if you would like to receive more.

�--------TO ALL GENEALOGISTS A LITTLE EARLY

o

It was the night before Christmas when all through the house,
Not a creature was stirring, not even my spouse.
The dining room table with clutter was spread
With pedigree charts and with letters which said ....
"Too bad about the data for which you wrote
Sank in a storm on an ill fated boat."
Stacks of old copies of wills and the such
Were proof that my work had become much too much.
Our children were nestlf;!d all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugarplums danced in their heads.
And 1 at my table was ready to drop
&gt;From work on my album with photos to crop.
Christmas was here, and of such was my lot
That presents and goodies and toys 1 forgot.
Had I not been so busy with grandparents' wills,
I'd not have forgotten to shop for such thrills.
While others had bought gifts that would bring Christmas cheer;
I'd spent time researching those birthdates and years.
While 1 was thus musing about my sad plight, ,
A strange noise on the lawn gave me a great fright.
Away to the window I flew in a flash,
Tore open the drapes and 1 yanked up the sash.
When what to my wondering eyes should appear?
But an overstuffed sleigh and eight small reindeer.

L

--~~==================~~

o

Up to the housetop the reindeer they flew,
With a sleigh full of toys, and old Santa Claus too.
And then in a twinkle, 1 heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing of thirty -two hoofs.
The TV antenna was no match for their horns,
Look at our roof with hoof-prints adorned.
As I drew in my head, and bumped it on the sash,
Down the cold chimney fell Santa - KER-RASH!
"Dear" Santa had come from the roof in a wreck,
And tracked soot on the carpet, (I could wring his short neck!)
Spottmg my face, ·good old Santa could see
I had no Christmas spirit you'd haye to agree.

--7---

-----

�_T

______ _

He spok; not a word, but went straight to his work
.
And ftlled all the stockings, (l felt like a jerk).
Here was Santa, who'd brought us such gladness and JOY;
When I'd been too busy for even one toy.
He spied my research on the table all spread
"A genealogist!" He cried! (My face was all red!)

o

"Tonight I've met many like you", Santa grinned.
As he pulled from his sack a large book he had penned.
I gazed with amazement - the cover it read
"Genealogy Lines for Which You Have Plead."
"I know what it's like as a genealogy bug,"
He said as he gave me a great Santa Hug.
"While the elves make the sleighful of toys I now carry,
I do some research in the North Pole Library!
A special treat I am thus able to bring,
To genealogy folks who can't find a thing.
Now off you go to your bed for a rest,
I'll clean up the house from this genealogy mess."
As I climbed up the ~airs full of gladness and glee,
I looked back at Santa who'd brought much to me.
While settling in bed, I heard Santa's clear whistle,
To his team which then rose like the down of a thistle
And I heard him exclaim as he flew out of sight,
"Family History is Fun! Merry Christmas! Goodnight!"

�THE CHURCH
The front cover shows the German Methodist Episcopal Church of Lawrence,
located at 1000 New York Street, as it appears today. Built of stone and
brick construction in 1872, the church originally had a steeple and belfry
as shown below. Age and weather weakened the front portion, including the
entrance and roof. This portion was rebuilt with omission of the steeple and
belfry. Members of the church under the German-Methodist Episcopal Denomination will sttll remember the pealing of the bell calling them to worship.
The building is still in use, by another denomination.

_ A reprint of a picture of the church as it appeared after completion,
as taken from the Souvenir of the West German Conference Book, published
in 1906, p 84.

�FOREWORD
The absence of records of. the German Methodist Episcopal Church
of Lawrence, as such, precludes a complete accounting of membership,
board of trustees, meetings, baptismal records and other pertinent
matter.

Therefore this is an incomplete account, some areas being

covered more fully than others, depending on

th~

material found.

The search for records was prompted by a genealogical interest.
Four generations of the compiler's family were represented among its
members, and extending from the early years of the Church. to the time
of its abandonment. It was the absence of records and the fact that
some information was located in Conference books written in the

Ger-

man language, thus of no avail to many, that inspired the writing of
this compilation.
There are probably sources of information not yet touched by this
compiler. Should this book come into the hands of any who have access
to additional information pertinent to the Church, she will be glad to
include it in an addendum to this compilation.

THE GEFl¥.AN ME'IHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH OF LANRENCE
Part I
The Church and Its History
Accounts in Ka!lsas history books tell of the first religious services
on the frontier being held by gatherings of people in hay tents or groves,
vJhen the weather was inclement their meeting \trould be held in a public ,building
or in ,the homes of the pioneers. (1.) It is probably correct to assume the
German speaking pioneers met for religious !Jurposes in this same manner. The
Germans who organized as the German Methodist Episcopal denomination he~d
meetings in one of the buildings purchased by them in 1862 at an earlier time
than the purchase d.ate. (2)
Themajori.ty of protestant Gernians l'Tere raised lmder the Lutheran
faith in their ~'lother Country. There seems no reason for many of them changing to Methodism after coming to the United States, except that this was one
of the earliest churches to become well organized in the more eastern states
and who early sent trained workers into the more western states and territor, ies to assist in the organization of mission churches. Each mission church
was located in a 'church district' and the pastor of this church was expected
to perform all of the ministrial duties within his district.
The most commonly used mode of travel by the winister was by horseback or with horse and buggy. The minister ,was known as a circuit rider. In
all Idnds of· weathe,r he traveled to perform his ministrial duties, often giving religious services during the week in,order to reach all of the peop~e.
In the first years after the establishment of the Church, the services
were conducted entirely in the German language. Few German immigrants were
familiar with the ~nglish language when they came to this Country, and many
continued to use this language in their home. There came a time when some
in the congregation, namely children of the immigrants, and those Germans
who adapted without difficulty to the English language, desired the services
to be ,conducted in the .l£nglish language. Therefore the pastors, began to use
both languages in the service. The method in which this was done was left
to the discretion of the pastor in charge. One method remembered is the
sermon being delivered in German, followed by the same sermon given in the
Znglish tongue in sermonette form. The scripture was quoted in both languages.
------------~-

The language barrier was a ~dde-spread problem. Th,e American Bible
Society publi.shed the Bible in all languages. Also, one was printed with
parallel colums so the r~rman parents could read one column printed in the
German language while their children could read the same truths from the
other column,~rinted in English. The Reverend H. D. Fisher of the English
Methodist denomination was accompanied in some of his travels spreading the
Gospel by a German minister named l".d.ller, who uould rape at the Reverend
Fisher's sermons to the throngs in the German tongue.(3.) Thus, and in many
other ways, the laneuage barrier was broken.
In later years the pastor of the Ge~man Methodist Episcopal Church of
La.1IJI'cnce , delivered the service entirely in the English language. The
ministers, all having a German background, werc able to converse with members of the Church '\'!ho desired it, in the German language. After this change,
some ~eop~o began to refer to the Church as the Sdcond Methodist ~lJiscopal.
The tlJIle ~s thought to have been about 1915. The name 1'!as never ofically
changed.
.

�2

Although unique in language useage, in other ways the Church was probably quite similar to other churches of its time. Sunday School, now referred
to as Church School, was usually held at 9:30 A.M. followed by Church Services
at 10:30 and-7 ~. M. Prayer meetings were held Wednesday evenings.
.
Sunday School classes were held in the one large room of which, with
the exception of entrance hall, the Church consisted. The Classes were separated only by space and an occasional folding screen. The number of classes
conducted in the German tongue was dependent on the need.
The . main social event of the Church was the annual family picriic,
usually held in a grove near town or in one of the City parks. The Church
furnished lemonade and the members brought covered dishes. Following the
meal there were games for the children, then a watermelon feed.
Each Christmas Eve a program was held. There was ahrays a large
decorated tree with the traditional star on the uppermost branch. Christmas
carols were sung by all,' and the children participated l~th recitations and
songs. The evening was climaxed by the appearance of Santa Claus with a bag
of candy and nuts for each child.
There seems no better ~rey to narrate the formation of the Church and
its progress than the account found in the Souvenir of the West German Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, edited according to the directive
of Lhe Conf'erence by otto E. Kreige, Gustav Becker, Mattaus Herman and C. L.
Korner; printed by Jennings and Graham, CincinnattiOhio 1906 pp 83-85.
It appears below:
Lawrence. Kansas
This work field in 1858 was known as the Lecomptori Missionj under the
direction of the West Conference.
In 1859 the name was changed to Lawrence Mission. Members .were six
in the field- the sisters Noll, Merkle and Holzapfel (man and ~dfe), with
certificates from Berea, Ohio. Since 1893 Lawrence was by itself •. Before,
it was connected with other places: Leroy,Howane and. Tecumseh until 1861;
with Franklin and Baldwin City until 1875. The lack of Germans and death
of members made the necessity of giving up the work in these places.
Topeka, 1880-81. Eudora and Captains Creek, 1892-93 were connected with
Lawrence.
The present brick and stone structure on the corner of New York and
Berkley Streets ""as built in 1872 at a cost of $2500 •. Ten years Defore,' an .
. old wooden building and the German Turnhall (4.) was bought for $280.00 [sic]*
and used for a church. (see * next page)
. . I
In 1896 the property at 1045 New Jersey was bought for the preacher's
home for $1000.
The great inundation of thG Ka11T River Flood in 1903 caused the whole
community to suffer great loss. Large numbers of members were farmers in
the flooded area. The outstanding fear and repeated loss caused many to
move away.
. Lawrence isa pretty city with 13,000 population •. Kansas State University (nowK. U.) is here ~~th nearly 2,000 students, of which many young
men are members of our church. They study "Electrical Engineering", "Mechanical Engine0ring", and other studies.

. In 1885 the m.embershipin the Lawrence Uission District was 220 persons.
The Lawrence Church membership in 1895 was fifty.(5.) From 1907 to 1915
membership varied from sixty-five to seventy; in 1917 there were seventyfive members. (6.) Younger people in the families of members and non
communicants more than doubled the amount of people in the congregation.

From the Douglas County Register of Deeds Warranty Book Vol. G p 49;
31 Dec. 1862 the German M. E.Church purchased property described as lot
93 Southwest corner of New York and Berkley (now Tenth) Streets. Purchase
price $500. Grantors were Henry Biebush (7.) and wife Anna~ Grantees
were trustees of the Church; August Bromelsick, Daniel Miller, Nicklaus
Hoszaffel, Charles stuchmann, L. B. Dennis, Peter Merckle, H. M. lYlenger.
The purchase price given in Souvenir, $280., may have been the. amount the
Conference gave the Church toward the purchase price.
From the Tribune 12 June 1864 Lawrence Kansas p 3:
The German Quarterly Conference is now in session in this city in
the German Methodist House in East Lawrence. Rev. M. Steinly, P. E. will
preach today at ten a I clock and Evening Service. The German House, which
has been for sometime otherwise occupied is now fitted up for religious
services. Sunday School will be at 9 A. M. Preaching regularly on the
Sabbath. (Lot #93, 1001 New York Street)
In the Kansas Census 1865, Lawrence, Douglas County, the valuation
of the Church was given as $1000, indicating considerable improvement had
been made on the property since it was purchased. The Church was descr:i.bed
as large enough to accomodate 250 persons •
. The Frauenverein, translated, Ladies Club, was organized about 1895
during the time the Reverend Frank D. Rademacher was pastor of the Church.
The Church the German Methodists built in 1872, located at 1000 New
York Street, was sold 27 September 1917. From Warranty Deed Book 99 page
433 and Book 240 page 460 Douglas County Courthouse, Register of Deeds:
Trustees German Methodist Episcopal Church grantors, Kansas 7th Day Adventist
Conference Association, grantee. Sale price $1200. Lot #94. The Trustees
of the German M. E. Church were vJilliam Schaake, Albert Knop and Fred Kopp.
Possession was not immediately given. It appears that the Church
continued operation as the German Methodist Episcopal Church lmtil the ?nd
of the Reverend vloesterneyerl s term., Sept..~mber 1918.

Compiler's note: The y."ars s0rved by the ministdrs as pastors of the
Church is as accurate as it was possible to obtain it. In some instances
there seemed to ba conflicting evidence of a year when more than .one .
source wa.s found, in the time of the pastor's service. This vias probably
. due to a pastorate chauga between the time the information was compiled
and the publication date. The most likely date was used in thase instances.

An Account of Some of the }Iinisters, Trustees and others lJho Served
the Church
L. B. D.ii:NNI3
The Reverend L. B. Dennis, one of the trustees in 1862, ~JaB born in
Ohio. (1) He was one of the trained workers 'V,ho came to Lawrence probably in
1854, as an ladvance guard" for the organization of the l-iethodist KansasNebraska Conference. Others 'Villo came with Reverend Dennis were Abraham
Still, ·v~. H. Goode, J. ,j. Griffing and B. F. BO'lt.man.
These men were sent for the purpose of spreading the Gospel, in
particular to organize goups of people in the Methodist faith. The first
Methodist service in Lawrence was held by the llevorend W. H. Goode in 1854.
In 1855 a class 1.vas organized by: the Reverend J. 3. Griffing, but ",ras not
strong anoughto sustain itself. In July of the .same year a more permanent
organization was .perfected by the Reverend Dennis. (2)
The meetings to organize the Methodist Kansas-Nebraska Conference
were held on 23rd to 25th October, 1856, under the leadership of Bishop
Osman C. Baker. Preparations for the meeting included the erection of a
large tent. The location seems to have been in or near what is now South
Park in Lawrence. The object of the Conference was to direct the sending
of church workers into Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado and New Mexico including
the Indian Territory.(3) The Reverend Dennis is presumed to have joined in
this work in other locations after he assisted in the organization of the
German Methodist Episcopal Church in La'V~ence in the capacity of ~linistrial
trustee.
AUGUST BRO~LSICK
August Bromelsick, trustee in 1862, was born 1 January 1803 in
Berzholzhasen, Prussia Germany. He was married to Franziska Charlotte Voss
born 9 February 1809 in Hoersen, Prussia, Germany. In 1$11 their address
was "East side of New Hampshire between Warren and Berkley" (between 'Vmat
is nov,r Ninth and Tenth Streets). Franziska died 12 September 1890.
August died 21 December 1895. They are buried in Oak Hill Cemetery in

�RESEARCH REUNIONS
Ever wished you had a place to meet with other researchers interested in the same surnames to
share information and work toward solutions of genealogical problems? Now you have!!
Take advantage of our popular research reunions. The Sumner County Archives will make
available our meeting room to groups for research.
Once a vast wilderness area beyond the Cumberland Mountains Sumner County became the most
populous county in Middle Tennessee in 1786 only 20 years after its first explorers and 10 years
before Tennessee became a state. Remarkably, this was all accomplished while settlers were
enduring Iridian attacks.
Sumner played a major and unique role in the expansion of the West as a permanent home for
many and a way station for others who remained long enough to leave footprints. Those
footprints await you ad the Sumner County Archives. .
This ad was in the Daughters of the American Revolution Spirit, May/June,2006

�NEXT ISSUE OF THE PIONEER
The majority of the next issue of the Pioneer will be devoted to the students of Yarnold School in
Douglas County from 1902 to 1962. This is the result of the generosity oflona Spencer of
Lecompton who brought these records to the editor. As always we are grateful for all donations
of materials to be included in the Pioneer. Watch for the next issue in early January, 2007.

ANNUAL SCHOOL REPORT,
LAWRENCE SCHOOLS, 1937 -1938
(copied in 2006 by Richard Wellman, from pages 72-73, regarding "The
Physical Plant")

It would be very difficult to look back over the years and find a time
when the buildings and grounds comprising the physical plant of the Lawrence
school system have been in better condition. Since the erection of the new
Pinckney and New York buildings and the removal of the old structures at
Quincy, Pinckney, and New York, our elementary schools are housed in quite
modern, well-planned and well-equipped buildings. With the addition of two
rooms at McAliaster this summer, that school will be able to accommodate the
kindergarten and six elementary grades, making it a complete elementary
school for the first time.
In recent years our grounds have received much more attention. The
droughts of the last two summers caused a number of trees to die, but one
hundred new ones have been planted and more will be replaced in the fall.
Heating, lighting, and ventilating systems, although not all they should be,
have been greatly improved in the older buildings, especially. Scientific
and effective floor treatment has been made a part of the program, and our
custodians have become very skillful in maintaining them. Outside painting
has been caught up and is being kept up. These and other improvements are
described in more detail below.
CORDLEY-Cordley school was first occupied during the school year
1914-1915. At that time it was a four-teacher school. In order to
accommodate a rapidly growing section of the city, another story was added
in 1928. An inadequate and defective sewer system had to be replaced a few
years later. More recently the boiler was found to be somewhat wasteful of
fuel. After removing the original covering of bricks in which it was set

�Page 2 of 3

and given an asbestos covering, its efficiency was greatly improved.
Another recent building improvement at Cord ley is the addition of a
well-equipped stage in the gymnasium-auditorium. Considerable new furniture
has been installed in the classrooms. This year a new floor in the
kindergarten is very much needed. Other improvements include some changes
.
in the library, now located in one of the former primary rooms. While it
would be desirable to plan a new building quite differently, these
improvements have made of Cord ley a satisfactory elementary school plant.
UNCOLN-This is our smallest school. It was erected at the same time
Cordley and McAllaster were built. It has four good school rooms on the
main floor, with gymnasium-auditorium in the basement. The school has no
stage. Only two regularly organized classrooms are in use, as the
enrollment is but approximately 50 pupils. A new roof was found necessary
about three years ago. The boiler should be re-set, as was done at Cord ley .
The building is in better than average condition.
.
McALLASTER-This is the third of the three elementary building erected in .
1914. It, too, was a four-teacher school when first opened. They
gymnasium-auditorium floor has been entirely replaced, due to the damage
done by water and termites. The boiler has also been re-set, making a much
more satisfactory heating plant. This school has also had an attractive
stage installed recently. The most of the rooms have been equipped with new
furniture, but additional purchases are needed. Mention has already been
made of the two-room addition now in process of construction.
NEW YORK -This building was erected in 1934, and first used on
Thanksgiving Day of that year. It is a one-story structure of colonial
type, with library, kindergarten, craft room, and eight standard classrooms.
All are equipped with modern furniture. We are painting the exterior
woodwork this year. Here we have another beautiful, modern school plant.
It is also regarded as one of the best school plants in the State of its
type. At the time the building was erected, about half a block was added to
the playground, making its situation quite ideal in this respect.
PINCKNEY-The new Pinckney building, on the site of old Pinckney, was
erected in 1930 and 1931. It was occupied in the fall of 1931. Some
additional playground was purchased at the time, and since then we have
secured a lease entitling the school to use that portion of Clinton Park
south of the ravine as a playground for a period of 50 years. In return for
this privilege the City of Lawrence has been granted the use of the old
Quincy grounds for a Similar period. The building is a handsome two-story
school plant of modernistic architectural type. It is our largest
elementary school, enrolling over 400 children each year. It has, in
addition to office suite, clinic, music room and auditorium-gymnasium, a
library, a kindergarten room, craft room, and twelve standard classrooms.
All rooms are well equipped with modern furniture. The entire interior has
just been redecorated, including the painting of the walls and ceiling of
the auditorium. We now consider the building one of the most complete and
modern in the State.
WOODLAWN-This is one of the newer buildings, replacing old Woodlawn which
burned in 1923. It has an ample amount of playground space and serves many
community uses. In addition to the auditorium-gymnasium, office, library,
kindergarten, and clinic, eight standard classrooms are provided. The
boiler room of this building is inconveniently located, and it is not
provided with an automatic stoker, as other of our newer schools are. This
building has been repainted recently and is in very good condition.
JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL -The Junior High School plant consists of three
buildings: 1.) Old High, which was occupied by the senior high school until

�Page 3 of 3

1923. 2.) Manual, which is a building erected for use in conjunction with
.
the high school, containing the shops, home economics laboratories,
classrooms, etc. 3.) Central, formerly an elementary school, and later used
for the seventh and eight grades-the beginning of the junior high school in
Lawrence.
While the buildings are old, and in many respects. outmoded, a great many
changes have been made in recent years to bring them up to an acceptable
standard. Wherever practicable the lighting has been improved; floors have
been replaced or refinished; storm doors added; interiors decorated; seating
modernized; library greatly developed and moved into adequate quarters from
the former cramped space; shrubbery planted about the buildings; grounds
surfaced; sidewalks renewed, etc. It has become necessary to use attic
space for physical education classes. They were not designed for this
purpose, and at best are a makeshift, although every effort has been made to
. fit them up adequately. This additional weight and strain must cause some
weakening of the structures, although no serious indications have appeared.
Some rodding has been done, and probably more should be done to safeguard
the situation. One of the serious handicaps of using three buildil')gs
instead of one has, in the past, been the crossing of the streets in all
kinds of weather and in the midst of street traffic. Much of the crossing
has been eliminated by a revamped organization of classes. No playground
space was originally provided with these building. Almost the only outlet
is a small space south of Central, or the nearby park. As soon as financial
conditions are favorable, a modern school plant should be built. Its exact
location, structure, and accommodations should be a matter of much. intensive
study by administrators, curriculum committees, board members, and citizens.
This should begin now. It is extremely important.
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL -This building, known offiCially as Liberty Memorial
High School, was erected in 1922-23. At the time it was, probably, the
finest high school plant in the State. Although a number of larger·
buildings have been erected in Kansas more recently, it still ranks as a
first-class senior high school plant. It contains an auditorium, a
gymnasium, several large shop rooms, a cafeteria, home economics
laboratories and classrooms, offices and clinics, library, study hall, .
lavatories, dreSSing rooms, and approximately thirty other classrooms.
Recently an additional shop, for the use of the general school mechaniC, has
been built in space formerly unoccupied, under the main floor at the south
end of the building. Although the bonds were issued to run over a period of
twenty years (and some will probably have to be refinanced), the roof
provided carried only a ten-year guarantee. Consequently, we have already
had a number of roof repair and replacement bills. This summer it is
necessary to replace the gymnasium roof. The auditorium, gymnasium and
dressing rooms are due for decorating this year, as they have had no work of
this nature since the building was first occupied. Some additional current
for illumination must be provided in the gymnaSium, as the present service
lines are already loaded to capacity. One of the two automatic stokers
which feed the boilers for heating purposes had to be replaces a few years
ago, and the second one must be replaced this year. The stokers have been a
good investment, as they have cut fuel bills very materially over the years.
A good deal of work has been done in reconditioning the heating and
ventilating system. Many pipes have had to be replaced, and new
installations have been necessary many times to bring the plant up to higher
effiCiency. Nevertheless, this building has been well maintained and
visitors invariably place its age much less than the 15 years it h~s seen
service.

ONLINE ADVANCES IN GENEALOGY
Genealogy Today- A Web site that provides online resources for family history at
www.genealogytoday.com - recently implemented a database called the Military Roots Project
The project transcribes military service date from books containing rosters muster rolls and troop
histories. Originally containing several thousand names, the database is regularly updated. Users
can search for surnames or sign up to be notified when information is added.
This service is currently available free of charge, but users must register for an annual
subscription. The Military Roots Database can be accessed at www.militaryroots.com.
After gathering data on relatives, an amateur researcher can plot the chronology of his or her
bloodline on a map using Map YourAncetors.com.
This site contains many of the lauded features of Google Maps. A marker is placed at each
person's birthplace, and lines on the map connect parents to their children. Click on a marker, and
the map zooms into a ballpon window displaying the ancestor's photo and other information
added by the user. The home page contains the map of President George W. Bush's ancestry as a
demonstration of these features.

�OPEN UP MILITARY FILES AND LEGENDS COME OUT by Andrea Stone
In April 1958, a "Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Erickson" of Sacramento handwrote a letter to thenfIrst lady Mamie Eisenhower asking her to "please, please be so sweet and kind as to ask Ike to
please bring Elvis Presley back to us from the Army."
The next year, an irate Rose Phelan of Oak Park, IL, typed a letter to her congressman after
reading a newspaper item that said Presley might get an early discharge for "good behavior."
Phelan demanded that her son, also stationed in Germany, get the same treatment.
Unfortunately for Sgt. Presley, the Army's adjutant general had the last word Maj. Gen R.V. Lee
wrote that the famous soldier "will not be released in a manner different from any other inductee
serving overseas."
The correspondence is part of Presley's military personnel fIle, and until now it was beyond the
public's prying eyes.
But starting Saturday, June 11,2006, the public will be able to peek for the first time into the
private military service fIles of 150 famous people. They are just the most prominent of nearly
1.2 million records that the National Archives and Records Administration will open at its
facility in St. Louis. It's the first of several public releases expected between now and 2067. Most
of these fIles contain the records of Navy and Marine Corps enlisted troops who served between
1885 and 1939.
The fIles are stored at the federal National personnel Records Center outside st. Louis, the largest
National Archives facility outside the Washington, D.C. area. Until now, the fIles were off-limits
for privacy reasons. Only the veterans themselves, their immediate family and those with special
.
permission could view them.
Just how sensitive such fIles can be was made clear this week by a report in The Boston Globe on
newly released Navy records of Sen. John Kerry, D. Mass. Kerry refused to release the full fIle
during the 2004 presidential campaign, but ifhe had, the documents would have revealed that
Kerry received four D's in his freshman year at Yale University and had a virtually identical
grade point average to his younger classmate, George W. Bush.
Most military records are less controversial. They are used to determine government benefits and
pensions. The fIles being opened to the public contairi tens of millions of pages that include
, enlistment papers, training records, award citations, performance ratings and written
correspondence ..
The paper records, some of them brittle and crumbling, are among 56 million military personnel
files stored at the Archives' massive warehouse in St. Louis. They belong to the Pentagon, which
had planned to destroy the older fIles until the Archives began talks in 1999 to take over custody

�and preserve them.
th

Military records archivist William Siebert says similar records from the 18 century and the Civil
War are among the most sought after and actively used documents in the Archives. "Logic would
tell you that similar records from the 20th century would be similarly valued by the American
people," he says.
Under an agreement with the Pentagon, personnel files can be released to the Archives 62 years
after a service member leaves the military. Record of "persons of exceptiOlial prominence can be
released 10 years after death.
Among other files being made public are those of boxer Joe Louis; baseball great Hank
Greenberg; actors Henry Fonda, Humphrey Bogart and Steve McQueen; former presidents
Franklin Roosevelt and John Kennedy; and military legends Douglas MacArthur and World War
I Medal of Honor recipient Alvin York
For the most part, Saturday's release includes enlisted sailors and Marines. Officer files from the
Navy and Marines will be released starting in 2036. The first general release of
.
Armh and Air Force service records won't happen until 2022. But baby boOmers or their
offspring hoping to get hold of their parents' or grandparents' records rna be disappointed. A fire
in 1973 destroyed 29 million Army records, including most from World War n.
Even so, says government archivist Gregory Pomicter, the surviving records are "a gold mine for
historians and genealogists.
2 WAYS TO SEE THE RECORDS
The National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis will formally open the records of 1.2 million
military service members at a ceremony Saturday (June 11, 2006).
How can I view these records?
&gt;In person. In the research room at the center. Appointments are recommended because space is
limited and some brittle records may require treatment to be handled. Call 214-801-0850
&gt;By mail. Copies can be requested by writing to the National Personnel Records Center, Page
Ave., St. Louis, MO, 63132-5100. Copies cost 50 cents a page. Records aren't available by email, and they aren't online.

�AUTOMATION OF LAND RECORDS NEARLY COMPLETE by Larry Cave, General Land
Office Records Automation.
The BLM-ES General Land Office Records Automation Team is nearing the completion of
scanning and indexing nearly 1.25 million post-1908 land-ownership records (patents)
maintained at the BLM Eastern State Office in Springfield, VA. As of March 15, less than
140,000 of these serialized patents remain to be scanned and indexed. This phase is scheduled
for completion in December, 2005. These land records include serialized patents issued for all of .
the public land states, including the West.
The first phase, completed several years ago, involved scanning and indexing of more than 2
million eastern states' land records, primarily cash and homestead patents. This second phase
consists of automating federal land grant records from July 1, 1908, when the General Land
Office centralized the issuance of patents out of their Washington Office, until the early 1970s
when this authority reverted to the various BLM state offices.
These serialized patents also include a sizable number of resurveyed areas of the West, creating a
noticeable increase in the complexity of the records handled by staffers. For example, a patent
that may have covered a single 640-acre section of land (with a single land description on the
document) might now be shown as consisting of 16 lots, each containing about 40 acres (creating
16 land descriptions to be indexed and verified).
The remaining documents to be processed by 2010 include about 150,000 cash and homestead
patents, about 65,000 "credit patents", dating back to 1788, and some 100,000 patents, covering
the period from mid-1907 through July 1, 1908, when the various loca1land offices stopped
.~ssuing their own patents. Also remaining are more than a h81f million military bounty warrants
"from the 1800s and other miscellaneous records. More than 4 million land patent images are
currently available for viewing online at www.glorecords.blm.gov.

�'BRIGHAM YOUNG UNIVERSITY WEBSITE FOR SEARCHING BOOKS
Barbara McKinney_(W~) - Oct 12, 2005
The following is an artlde about online books that I just received from my 3rd COusin, Marilyn Gloyd on my Howard Line.,
You can go to the Brigham Young University website httQ.;l/lib.bY_l,I_,-eM and do searches of over 5000 books which the Fan
History Library has put online .
... the LOS Family History Library has announced that It has begun the process of digitizing and making available on the
Internet all of the Family History books in their collection. These are primarily books In the "929.273 Series" that are cun
housed on the first floor of the Family History Library (previously housed on the fourth floor of the Joseph Smith Memorit
Bulldlng)~ At the present time (September 2005), about 5000 books have been digitized and are available, and they haVE
announced that they are adding about 100 titles a week to the on-line collection.
Copyright issues are playing a role in determining the order in which they progress through this task; books out of copyr
are being done first.

As these Family History books are digitized and placed on-line, an entry is being placed in the Family History Library on-I
catalog with a hyperiink to the digitized Image. By going to the FHL On-Line catalog, you can search for a specific name,
a book that has been Indexed using the name, and view It on-line, flipping through the pages as separate -pdf"' Images,
the same as If you were on the first floor of the Family History Library. Of course, the indexing that Is available through t
FHL catalog Is only as good as the human Indexers made It; typically they only Indude the amp" 4 to 6 names that appei
each book in their indexing efforts.
But there is even better news!
The digitized Images of these Family History books are actually being stored on the electronic servers at Brigham Young
University in Provo, Utah. By going directly to the BYU web site to view the Images, there are several additional possIbilltlE
that provide
genealogists functionality that they have never had before. You are now able to do full-text searches on each book, and 0
every digitized book In the collection. Now you can locate the small two- paragraph entry on Grandpa Ebnezer McGarrah t
buried In one of the Family History books that you would have otherwise never thought to look at before. This can open
huge new possibility for extending lines, getting past brick walls, and uncovering new relatives!
How to Find The Digitized Images?
Go to the web site of the Harold B. Lee Library at BYU at
tLl1Q.;/IJLb.byu .edu
and on their home page, follow the links "Rnd Other Materials/Electronic/On Line COllections at BYU". alck on the "Text
COllections" tab and select the "Family History Archive" from the list of collections that are displayed. You would then nOl
want

to use the "Search All" feature with the "Search Full Text" box checked, although the "Advanced Search" will allow very t
powered searches that will allow certain phrases to be searched for and other words to be used to exdude potential hits.
you make selections from the "hits" that are displayed, you will need to use the "Click
Here to View Item" button near the top of the screen to display the actual image of the page. You can page through the
entire document using the index displayed on the left side of the screen. Each page may be printed after being vieWed.
One interesting sidelight is, when you are at the first web page for the Family History Archive (the page that lets you begh
. search), dick on the "Browse the COllection" button. This will display every Family History book that has been digitized al
available in theoollectlon. You can scroll through this list much the same as If you
were walking up and down the stacks at the library. At the top of the first page of the search results, It displays the num
hits, which (in this case) is the number of books in the oollection. If you keep track of this number, you can get a pretty
Idea of how fast they are adding titles to the oollection as you revisit the web site from time to time. I think you will want
visit this site often as the oollectlon grows

�Obituary Five Months After Death
Lawrence Daily Journal-World, June 25, 1931

OBITUARY
Mrs. Barbara Sellards
The remains of Mrs. Barbara Sellards, widow of Dr. A.B. Sellards, were returned
to Lawrence from Los Angeles and laid to rest in Oak Hill cemetery this morning.
Barbara Miller Sellards was born in Sciotoville, Ohio, April 25, 1858. She was
married to Dr. A.B. Sellards in 1876. They moved to Lawrence in 1896 to educate their
children. Barbara Sellards is survided by eight children and eight grandchildren, five of
whom reside on the Pacific coast; two on the Atlantic coast; and Mr. and Mrs. J.R.
Pearson have made their home with her in Lawrence for the past few years. The children
include Elizabeth, Mrs. Gertrude Pearson, Myrtle, Mrs. May Young of Clarkdale, Ariz.,
Bertha of Washington, D.C., Archie of Los Angeles, Carl of San Francisco, and Ted of
Buffalo, N.Y.
Her many friends were grieved to learn of her sudden passing, but with the sorrow
is the sense that her community was blessed in having such a modest and kindly woman.
The Rev. W.D. Vincent of Baldwin officiated for the burial services at Oak Hill
cemetery. He was a former pastor forty years ago, who received her and Dr. Sellards into
the Methodist Episcopal church from the Methodist church in Kentucky.
Mrs. Sellards had gone to Los Angeles with her daughter, Mrs. J.R. Pearson,
January 6. She was stricken with pneumonia two days after reaching there and passed

�AN OBITUARY FROM THE LECOMPTON SUN 2 JULY 1931
T.E. Moore was born January 17, 1846,.near Quincy, Lewis County, Kentucky. At the age often
years he went with his parents to northwestern lllinois. When thirteen years of age he was taken
by his father's uncle aboard a mail packet running on the Ohio river between Cincinnati and
Portsmouth, Ohio.
When the Civil War was declared he intered the service of the Federal army as a drummer. At the
close of the civil war he again entered the water service, but at the request and wish of his mother
did not remain but a short time.
After quitting the lifr on water he entered the railroad service where he spent the most of his
mature life as conductor and engineer. He was for many years employed on the Atchson Topeka
and Santa Fe railroad, rendering them good, faithful service.
On December 12, 1876, he was married to Sarah E. Spurgon at Lawrence.' To this union there
were no children born, yet until recent years on account of Mrs. Moore's health, their home ever
was the home of children, especially Mrs. Moore's sister's children.
He was raised to the sublime degree of a Master Mason, June 6, 1881, at Ottawa, where he sill is a
member of good standing. Naturally he was a close observer, always quick to see whwere he
might lend some assistance in time of need. He put strong stress to the principles taught in Free
Masonry, endeavoring to live a life similar to the life of Christ, feeling that in so doing he was
living the life of a Christian and the world wold be better by his living in it.
This instrument was written by T. E. Moore. It is my wish and request, regardless of where I may
die that the Masonic order have charge of my funeral. Lawrence Lodge No.9 conducted the
service at the grave.
28 April 1923, Saturday. Probably the Lecompton Sun
The body of Mrs Theodore Moore who died in Neosho, MO will arrive tonight. Short services
will be held tomorrow afternoon at 1:30 O'clock from the Cross Undertaking parlors. The Rev.
P.B. Lawson will officiate. Burial will be made in Oak Hill cemetery.

�The Basic Naturalization Search: Who, When, Where, What

Who is the subject of your search? What name(s) did your subject use?
When (approximate year) did the naturalization occur? Or, when did the subject arrive
at a location? Or when were first papers filed?
Where (city, county, &amp; state) did your subject live at the time he or she was naturalized?
What courts had jurisdiction over the area where your subject lived at the time of the
naturalization? (courts may include a county court, city court, federal court, or a state
supreme court).
What does the Federal census say?

**** After you have answered these questions to the best of your ability, search the
naturalization records of the courts on your list for the appropriate time period.

Other considerations:
Female? If your subject is a woman, was she married at the time of naturalization? If
married and the naturalization occurred before September 22, 1922, she probably
received derivative citizenship through her husband. There will be no record.
Child? Was your subject a child of parents who were also immigrants? If so, the child
may have received derivative citizenship through the naturalization of his or her parents.
.
There will be no record.

�BALDWIN CITY
The Lawrence Daily Journal, Thursday, June 13, 1889
(copied by R. Wellman, 2006.
NOTE: I have corrected some obvious errors, but in most cases I have copied the spelling and wording as it was in
the original.)
Her I~stitutions --Schools - Colleges - Churches - Business Men and Women
A Sketch of One of the Prettiest Little Towns in Kansas
"Ef they's anything pertier 'n a wheat field
'long 'bout middle of June tip toein' over the
second rail of a fence and looking down the road
fer a reaper, I'd just like to have you fetch it
along" said occupant ofthe seat on the Southern
Kansas train with the Journal's hired man who
was headed toward Baldwin City Monday.
Continuing our farmer friend said:
"Yes sir as I was sayin', this is the healthiest
year fer wheat I ever saw, Med'terranean er
Orygon don't make no difference; all good - all
has that cheerful hardworking sort of air,
standin' out there in the meadder, independent
like, as a hired man on a strike. Tanned up too
a little jest about now, not got the rus I don't
mean, for it's onusually free this year; but jest
kinder tanned like. But it's perty all the same
now hain't it." And indeed it was, acres and
acres stretching away on both sides of th track
like a lake whose shores were the deep green
hedges and sweet quiet orchards which were the
only object, varying the pleasant monotony of
the fields of wheat and oats. There ate
kingdoms in the east whose royal treasuries are
filled from a domains less bounteous than old
Palmyra township, but no king in Christendom
rules over a people more happy, contented and
intelligent than the citizens of Baldwin. For
even ifrepublics are ungrateful their citizens are
prosperous and as Baldwin's republican majority
is some they like the peace of God which
passeth all understanding so the degree of her
prosperity is of a magnitude quite beyond
measurement. Many things have contributed to
this including industry, patience and thrift. And

the greatest ofthese is thrift. One see it on every
hand upon the street. Nothing is lost, there are
not those barren vistas of vacant lots which
generally disfigure the out skirts of country
towns, acting as a sort ofneutral ground between
the industrious farmer and the too often lazy
townsmen. In Baldwin every vacant lot is
turned into a garden and made to do good in the
world. Those who founded Baldwin were that
sort of people - people who believed in
everything counting and the present citizens of
th town have followed well in the footsteps of
their municipal fathers. In fact the men are so
busy and preoccupied that they have turned over
the management of the city to the women, that
mayor being Mrs. Lucy Sullivan and the
council-women being Mrs. Hyde, Mrs. Stewart,
Mrs. Dr. Martin, Mrs. Kidder and Miss Lillian
Scott. These ladies are to all appearances, doing
their work well, for our entire day's stay in the
city failed to reveal any disorder orany but the
best of municipal control in everything. With
due respect for the women of Baldwin who have
so recently come to the front, it is but justice to
say that the present prosperity of the little city is
due to the activity and push of the business men
of the place. They have been awake to the best
interests of the city and have been at the same
time ever cautious of so called booms and other
superficial methods for temporarily increasing
trade or popUlation. They have tried and
succeeded in securing for the tqwn a steady
growth, a gradual but firm development which
few towns outside of Douglas county can boast
of.

�BAKER UNIVERSITY
Perhaps nothing would so well epitomize the
moral and intellectual tone of the community of
Baldwin as Baker university.
Having a
progressive faculty fully abreast of the times,
and students whose principal object is to learn
and learn well; and supported by the moral
sentiment of the West, Baker university,whose
history began before that of the State of Kansas
stands today the peer of any educational
institutional west ofthe Mississippi. Dr. Gobin,
its president, is a man of high culture and is
known in educational circles everywhere. The
graduates of Baker in Kansas and the West.
speak more and better for the school than
columns of newspaper praise can do.
THE CHURCHES
The moral tone of Baldwin is so high that the
bar-room loafers over in one-gallused Missouri
say that the prayer meeting is the only caucus
they know, and that the Baldwin voters prepare
their ballots on their hymn books. While this
may not be literally true still the fact remains
that the spiteful fling of the Missourian has a
foundation, for no city in Kansas has better
churches nor feels more directly the influence of
its churches than Baldwin.
The M. E. church was established at Baldwin
in 1855 and has been continuous in its work for
good ever since. The services are now held in a
beautiful stone chapel, where about 600
worshipers are under the spiritual guidance of
Rev. Gullett.
The Presbyterian church first held its meetings
in Palmyra township in 1859. Ever since then
that denomination has been represented in
Baldwin and a few years ago erected a
handsome church edifice where the Rev.
Goodale presides.
LODGES
The various leading benevolent organizations
are found in the city, including the Masons, the
Odd Fellows, the G. A. R. and the A. O. U. W.
These lodges are well supported and have upon
their rolls the best citizens of Baldwin and
community.

THE SCHOOLS
In some towns of the State it is a surprise to
the stranger to find good high grade schools but
in Baldwin one expects such things; so when
they tell you of their new $10,000 building and
their excellent system of school you are not
surprised. Miss Lillian Scott (who is also a
member of the city council) is principal of the
schools and much of their present success is due
to her. She is assisted by Mr. Charles Lewis,
Misses Frank Campbell, Ida Huff and Kate
Hukill. There are nearly 300 pupils enrolled.
Each ofthe instructors is well liked and is doing
admirable work. The bright faces ofthe children
on the street indicate that the next generation of
Baldwiniters will be amply able to do credit to
their fathers.
COMMERCIAL INTERESTS
Baldwin, as was intimated at the beginning of
this article, is situated in the midst of a rich
farming community. Wheat, com, oats, rye and
all farm products abound here; and Baldwin is
the natural market, hence as the merchants of the
town are close to the farmers and producers,
wealth and good times are never entirely
wanting.
BALDWIN CREAMERY - W. E.
RALSTON
One of the most substantial institutions of
Baldwin city, and in fact, of Douglas county, is
the Baldwin creamery operated by W. E.
Ralston. The creamery has a capacity of 2,000
lbs. per day and is run at the rate of about 1,500.
Itgets cream from a radius oftwenty miles, from
Gardner on the east to Overbrook on the west.
The present manager Mr. Ralston, is a quiet
young man who understands his business
thoroughly, and has done what the company
could not do -- has made the creamery pay a
good percent of gain. He has as many friends as
he has acquaintances, and his li.st is growing
every day. Douglas county is better off for
having Mr. Ralston in its boundaries.
THE BALDWIN CITY BANK
Prominent among the business places of
Baldwin and second to none in stability is the

�Baldwin City banle It has been doing business
for five years and has gained the confidence of
all the citizens of the place and surrounding
country.
It claims for president, H. H.
Humphrey; c!lshier, S. R. Humphrey; and A. B.
Topping for assistant cashier. Each of these
gentlemen carries a large amount ofinfluence in
Palmyra township and is known by all as an
honorable man to whom integrity is a prime
virtue. The bank's large and growing business
is probably due to this cause.
J. L BRISTOW &amp; CO.
Of course book stores in Baldwin should be
successful and none could be more so than the
book store ofJ. L. Bristow &amp; Co. J. L. Bristow
is the present county clerk of Douglas county,
and Mr. "Co." is none other than Prof. Quayle,
the cultured and astute professor of Greek in
Baker University, who is known for his learning
all over the country and who would have few
equals as a buyer for a bookstore.
Mr., E. G. Hill is the gentlemanly and urbane
clerk who represents the absent proprietors, and
he does so well that the young ladies of Baldwin
recently took a secret ballot and pronounced him
the best looking young man on the townsite,
except Charley Gault, W. H. Webster, Clarence
Finch and the man who runs the feather
reno vater. Mr. Hill, aside from his personal
charms is correspondent for the Topeka Capital
and deputy postmaster.
THE GLOBE DRUGSTORE
One of the new firms, but none the less
successful, is the Globe Drug Store., under the
management of Dr. W. F. Osborn and John
Brady. Mr. Brady has been in this country for
seven or eight years and has the respect and
confidence of a large number of friends. Dr.
Osborn, however, is a comparatively new comer
having lived in Burlington, Kansas, until last
March. He brings with him from that place the
highest recommendation both as a physician and
a gentlemen, and is fast increasing his practice
and enlarging his circle of acquaintances. The
drug store carries also a line of books and
stationery and is enjoying a good patronage from

the citizens of Baldwin.
DRY GOODS - L. B. KEIFER
Since 1874 the Baldwin City folks have been
buying dry goods and notions of L. B. Keifer
and the fact that they still persist in doing so is
pretty clearly indicative of the fact that Mr.
Keifer treats them squarely and gives them their
money's worth. He weilt to the University and
came within three· months of graduating but
concluded he would go out and get a little of the
practical side of life and wait a little while for
his diploma. He is still waiting. But he has the
practical side of life down pretty fine.
SULLIV AN &amp; LEAVITT - GROCERY
Among the young energetic firms of Baldwin,
Success has got her finger pointed at the firm of
Sullivan &amp; Leavitt. The firm has only been
organized since November but it has been
unusually favored by fortune. Both of the young
proprietors are energetic business men and know
the value of industry well applied - and are
applying it in adult doses. Their stock is fresh
and everything looks neat and clean around the
store. As Sullivan's mother is the mayor, the
firm stands in with the city administration very
solid, probably.
S. LAKE - STAR GROCERY
One of the few Democrats in Baldwin is Mr. S.
Lake, but he is doing lots of business just the
same. Some time ago a Democratic paper took
occasion to say that in Baldwin no republican
would trade with a democrat. Mr. Lake however
had the manhood, however, to rise above
partisanship and publicly denounces this
statement as false. He has been in the grocery
business five years and has always had a
profitable trade although right in the center of a
republican township.
STURDIVAN &amp; NOTT - BOOTS, SHOES,
ETC.
These two gentlemen have lived in Baldwin for
many years, Mr. Sturdivan coming there in '56
and Nott in '77, and both have gained enviable
reputations for square and honest dealing among
the citizens of the community. Their store was
full of purchasers the day our correspondent

�struck the town so he could not talk with either
of the gentlemen as long as he would have
wished he might. But the number of customers
spoke more of their business than words could
have done.

Wl\:1. HUFF - GROCER
We were introduced to' the gentleman whose
name heads this paragraph, as judge, owing to
the fact that aside from dealing out a first class
line of mackerel, strawberries and clothes pins
from time to time, he had been also honored by
the office of police judge by the citizens of
Baldwin and according to all reports filled his
office to the satisfaction of every one. If he
makes a good judge as he does grocer, justice
can quit weeping and give him a steady job. He
is a good republican.
SCOTT &amp; SON, DRY GOODS
This firm has only been established in Baldwin
two months, but as they succeed Dicklow &amp; Co.,
they fell heir to a good _ _ _ _ (illegible) _
they will not only hold but materially increase.
The firm has a store in Burlington also and the
reputation of the gentlemen who compose it as
that place is so enviable that it has become
known all over Eastern Kansas. W. M. Scott,
the junior member of the firm is located at
Baldwin with his charming young wife, who
would be a valuable acquisition to any social
circle. The young folks are fast endearing
themselves to the people of Baldwin and nothing
but success can await them.
I. E. BARTON - GROCERIES
Mr. I. E. Barton has been identified with
Baldwin City and Palmyra township for twentyone years; has fought grasshoppers, faced
drouths, cyclones, and chintz bugs, and still
looks across the counter of his grocery store as
pleasantly as if he had just stepped out of
Paradise and hadn't the odor of Eden out of his
clothes. He has a fine farm near town and an
orchard which has overflowed the walls and is
running over on the railroad track. His grocery
trade is good and he is making lots of money.
M. L. CROSBY - TINWARE
M. I. Crosby has lived in Baldwin and sold
hardware, stoves and tinware and voted the

straight republican ticket for twenty years. He is
an old standby in all of these things. His goods
are as straight and sound as his republican
principles and he is proud of both of them. He
tells a good story about a democrat at a revival
who said when asked if he could tum from the
path of sin and be a Christian; "No sir, I hiant.
I been a good Bourton democrat now for risin
forty year, and I haint a going to desert the 01'
party this late in life;- you can bet on that."
BODWELL &amp; STURDY - MEAT

MARKET
When Baldwin folks want nice clean meat for
company dinner, they send the boy down to
Bodwell &amp; Sturdy's to get it. The firm has been
selling this kind of meat for four years, but both
members have been citizens of Douglas county
for a good many years. Bodwell came here in
1856 and has seen Kansas grow from a sage
bush dessert to a prosperous commonwealth.
Mr. Sturdy has succeeded in getting into the
good graces of his neighbor by his honesty and
integrity. Their business is equal to that of many
shops in much larger towns.

HENRY HUMBERT
Compared with some of the real old timers Mr.
and Mrs. Henry Humbert are new comers. Mr.
Humbert has been running a restaurant for two
years but before that ran a hardware store. Mrs.
H. owns a millinery store and is doing a good
paying business. She has succeeded admirably
in receiving for her customers the many of the
best ladies of Baldwin and her styles are always
authority in that place.
MOSEL Y &amp; SON - BAKERY, ETC.
One of the fixtures of Baldwin is the senior
member of the firm mentioned above. He came
here twenty-six years ago; and being a stone
mason by trade, helped build Baker university.
He has attended every commencement of that
institution. In the bakery business he has
associate with him his son, and together they are
turning out bread so light that they have to
weight it down at night to keep it from flying
away. The many customers of the bakery
appreciate this.

�THE CRADER HOUSE
The Crader house is a large, home-like looking
place, with cool verandas surrounding it The
interior is neatly finished and furnished and the
traveler who rests there finds all his heart can
ask for comfqrt. The table is well supplied with
everything the market affords.
'

THE JOHNSON HOUSE
This hotel is also a model of comfort and
cleanliness.
It has been newly furnished
throughout and is open to the pUblic. Mrs.
Johnson, the estimable hostess, is putting forth
every effort to make her guests feel at home and
in all things feel satisfied. She never loses a
customer who has eaten at her board.
BROCKWAY &amp; STUART-

RESTAURANT
The boys up at the college have made
Brockway &amp; Stewart their headquarters for the
last four years and have found here all the good
things in reason. The trade of this house among
the college boys is good, for college boys better
than anyone else, know how to appreciate good
treatment. Mr. Brockway has been in the
county fifteen years, and Mr. Stewart nearly
that. His wife is a member of the council. He,
himselfhas been police judge and his eldest son,
Rob, is assistant chief ofthe fire department. So
it will be seen the family stand very high in the
estimation of their neighbors.
.

C. H. RIGGS - FEATHER RENOVATOR
The very latest acquisition to the town is 1. H.
Riggs, the man who cleans feathers. He has a
number of wagons which go all over the country
and collect feather beds and bring them to be
cleaned, disinfected and renovated. He has lots
of work.

W. H. WEBSTER - DENTIST
The dentist's business is one which requires
that one dig tooth and nail to succeed in it. No
one is a better digger of teeth in Baldwin than
"Doc" Webster, as the people familiarly call
him. He is thoroughly skilled in dentistry and
all his work is satisfactory. He is fully up to the
times and keeps the very latest "knicks" known
to his profession for the benefit of his patrons ..
His popUlarity is great and of course he is a

republican.

C. CUTLER - HARDWARE, ETC.
Veiy few people attend more strictly to their
own business and make more out of it and have
fewer enemies on that account than C. Cutler.
He has the confidence of all his customers and
the admiration of his friends because he knows
how to keep his mouth shut at the proper time.
His hardware business will compare favorably
with that of many Lawrence merchants. His
goods are new and he is consequently proud to
show them.

R. W. BAILEY - SHOEMAKER
While R. W. Bailey has been pegging away at
the shoes of the people of Baldwin for almost a
generation, they have occasionally called him
from his bench to offices of public trust such as
councilman, member of the school committee
etc. He is as good an officer as he is shoemaker
which is saying a good deal.
R. E. COWGILL, P.M.
The recent appointment of Dr. Cowgill as
postmaster of Baldwin City disproved the
statement that no good may get office. The
doctor has been an enterprising citizen and a
stalwart Republican at Baldwin for the past
twenty-three years. His practice of medicine has
made his acquaintanceship large and valuable.
His appointment will give universal satisfaction.
He will be assisted in the office by Miss M. E.
Cowgill and Miss Nellie Cowgill, two charming
and obliging ladies, who will dispense mail to the
Baldwin people for the next four years.

W. F. KEIFER - BLACKSMITH
The village blacksmith of Baldwin for the past
thirty years has been W. F. Keifer. His work is
his best advertisement and those who know him
best are his best supporters.

C. E. DALLAS - REAL ESTATE
Although Baldwin is no boom town, still there is
always a good sale for property there and no one
is better able to tell the prospectiv,e buyer about
the purchasable property than C. F. Dallas. He
also does a loan, collection and insurance
business, and has been in and around Baldwin for
thirty years.

�A. LEAKE &amp; SON - HARNESS

NOTES

The horses of Palmyra township have been
having A. Leake &amp; Son for their dress makers
for the past three years. These gentlemen have
. been doing good work and never are idle from
want of custom.

--Louis Wehe and 1. H. Wright do the
photographs for Baldwin.
--L. S. VanKeuren is the obliging agent of the
S. K. at Baldwin .
--The contracting and building of the city is
done largely by Hawes &amp; Walker who are
experienced, trusty workmen as the homes of
BaldWin show.
--John Starr is the town barber and has been for
the past seven years. He knows every man in
town and could tell him by th shape of his
Adams apple.
--The Ledger is the official organ of Baldwin.
It is an eight column weekly, republican in
politics and edited by W. H. Finch. It receives a
good support from the citizens and deserves all
it gets.
--Among the improvements this year at Baldwin
are the public school building, valued at
$10,000; a dwelling house built for S. Sturdivan,
and another very handsome dwelling erected by
Dr. Webster.
--The bus line is owned by N. R. PoWer and S.
K. Green. The gentlemen do a good business as
the walk from the town to the depot is a long and
tedious one and their omnibus is a first rate one.
--Strawberries are bringing in a good bit of
money to Baldwinjust now. Mrs. A. C. Bare, an
energetic woman who lives about a mile west of
town has sold $1,000 worth this season and it is
still shipping. Her berries go to Colorado, all
over Kansas and the East. Henry Wheeler, the
enterprising nurseryman has sold as many and
employs nearly one hundred hands to do his
picking.

MISS FLO ANDREWS - MILLINERY &amp;
NOTIONS
When the ladies of Baldwin Want something
real pretty, real artistic and real fashionable,
something which shows a delicate sense of the
beautiful and a woman's sense ofthe proper they
just put on their things and run down to Miss
Andrews to find it. She has been doing business
for three years with Baldwin folks and her
charming manners together with exquisite stock,
give her a good share of the trade ofthe city and
community.

W. A. HYDE - JEWELER
One of the most pleasant and popular men in
Douglas county is W. A. Hyde, the jeweler.
Genial, whole soled, jolly are adjectives which
make his friends think of him whenever they
hear the words mentioned.

W. E. CAREY - DRUGS ETC.
W. E. Carey, the druggist, has been doing
business in Baldwin for three years. He is
assisted by his brother, J. W. Carey who knows
how to put up prescriptions with a care and
accuracy which one rarely finds in a country
drug store. The firm also carry a complete line
of school text books, and the place is quite a
favorite with the students.

DR. H. C. OWEN - DRUGS
Dr. Owen has been established in Baldwin for
several years, and carries a good pure stock of
drugs, practices medicine and is doing well.

Tips for Getting Past Genealogy Burnout
It happens to all of us at one time or another. Our genealogical research becomes so frustratin~ or
confounding that we feel like throwing in the towel. At other times, we may feel overwhelmed with the other
extreme of having acquired so much information about a person or family, some of it conflicting with no
means to reconcile it, that we want to give up.
'
You are not alone I This is a syndrome I call "genealogy burnout" and it can be hard to get past it. I've been
through it countless times in my 43 years of researching my "nes. In "Along Those Lines ... " this week, I'd
like to share some tips I've developed to help avoid those feelings of genealogy burnout and get beyond
them when they do creep up.

Set Your Problem Aside for a While
Often I find that I've been working on researching one person or one family for so long that I've become
obsessed. Perhaps the better choice of word is "possessed." The point Is that I become fixated on that one
person and the one fact that I am trying to discover, prove, or disprove. When that happens, my objectivity
can be compromised, and I can no longer seem to be able to see the proverbial forest for the trees.
At the point at which I begin to become frustrated and surly about my research (even the cats In the house
notice it!), I know it's time to stop. It's time to set this so-called "brick wall" aside and to redirect my energies
in another direction. That's when I turn to another person or family line to research. Sometimes that means
leaving one family and working on another, possibly one I've been putting off because of my obsession with
the problem-person. _
Sometimes, I may simply sidestep to the sibling(s) of my problem person and research there for a while.
This can payoff as I find more materials and documentation about a sibling and perhaps can extend my
research further~ck._ Then it may be possible t{) link from the parents to the problem subject.
Re~ad

Everything You Have Acquired on the Person or Family

OVer time, we acquire a lot of genealogicai" materials about people. When I get stuck on an individual, I go
back and pull everything I have about him or her. Usually I have these materials filed in.a binder-but not
always. (You know how it1s.) I make sure that every piece of information or material is organized
chronologically as it happened in the person's life. ~ then re-read through everything as if I have never seen
it-before. I don't just scan it, I read it. That is because new information I may have learned or acquired may
now make me reeognize_the significance of content in another document. The knowledge and
understanding we gain in pieces over time, when assembled and re-read just like a chronologicaJ
biography, may suddenly provide insights that help you get past the brick wall. At the very least, you will get
to know the person better and may be able to anticipate some of the decisions and actions of the person.
Create 8 Timeline
"No man [or woman] is an island," it is written. Everyone is inftuenced by the people, events, and places
around them. I like to study oid maps and read the histories of the areas where my ancestors lived.
Genealogical society journals from the area often include insightful stories as well.
One way I approach a problem person or family is by creating a tirnefine. While a family group sheet may be
a great tool for seeing the overall structure of a family unit, it doesn't take into consideration the impact of
wars, famine, disease, financial problems, national and international affairs, social and religious conditions,
and other external forces. It also doesn't place in chronological sequence the events relating to other

,
members of the family such as births, maniages, divorces, deaths, relocations, emigration or immigration,
and It does not represent any special relationships that might have existed between individuals.
Creating a written, chronological timeline should include the presence at every point possible ofthe person
(s) you are researching and their family members. Use censuses, church and religious records, land ~nd
property records, and other resources. Once you have constructed the timeline, you can read it as if itwere
the outline of a family history. It may also give you clues for additional research and gaps you still need to
address.

Attend a Conference for New Ideas
Whenever I get into or close to a burnout stage, my enthusiasm Is energized by attending a conference or
workshop of some sort. I always find something interesting at my local genealogical society meetings, both
in the speaker's presentation and in the networking discussions I have with other members. We discuss
strategies and share research anecdotes that may make me approach a problem differently.
A state conference or a national conference, such as the upcoming Federation of Genealogists Conference
in Salt Lake City fl-10 September 2005) or the National Genealogical Society's conference, are lifechanging experiences. Where else can you hear from nationally- and internationally-recognized experts,
great speakers, authors, and genealogical book and software vendors, and from lineage, heritage,
accreditation, speaking, and writing societies? These people really know their stuff and are ready to teach
you. A brief consultation with one or more of these people may just be the lift you need to re-energize you.

Don't Get Frustratedl
I know from experience how frustrating and overwhelming genealogy can be, and I hear researchers all the
time who say they think they've reached the end of the line. They tell me they just can't seem to make any
more headway. Thafs when I share the tips with them that I've shared with you above.
We humans love to create records about ourselves. And somewhere there is that one record or resource
that you need, even though it may not be in the form you might expect. Keep your options open and
remember that there may well be alternative records that may help satisfy your needs.
Whatever you do, don't give up. This genealogical odyssey we're making is fun, interesting, instructive, and
helps build tasting relationships that can make your life richer.
Happy Hunting!

Ball, Brown, Bryan, Conway, Daniel, Ewell, Holladay, Lewis, Littlepage, Moncure, Peyton, Robinson,
Scott, Taylor, Wallace &amp; others, of Virginia &amp; Maryland

Author: Hayden, Horace Edwin
Family and Local Histories at Ancestry.com
.
.
..
The Family and Local Histories collection at Ancestry .com IS one of the premium subscnptlon databases.
Within this collection I have found digitized books that are not available in my local public library's rather
sizeable genealogi~1 collection. Once you identify a book in the collection, you can click on the link to
display a search template and a full table of contents. The search template allows you to search within that
.
book (title) only or among all the Family and Local Histories collection.
Of the three titles I had identified in SOGCAT, I found William Ball Wright's book (#1) and Horace Edwin
Hayden's book (#3). While I did not find book #2, I did find several other BALL genealogies, including two
whose contents added to my knowledge of some of my direct ancestors.
.
1. Edward Ball and Some of His Descendants, by Nicholas Ball
2. The Ball family of Southwest Virginia: a genealogy of some of the descendants of Moses Ball of
Fairfax County, by Palmer Ray Ball

Ancestry .com's images allow me to zoom in and out of the document, change the resolution for faster
loading, scroll from page to page, and print, save, and/or e-mail the material.
Since I had not found the second book in Ancestry.com's collection, I returned to the search template and
entered the first name of William, the surname of Ball, and a keyword of Colonel, hoping to narrow the
search a bit. The search results were even more encouraging than I had hoped! The two books I'd already
found were included, but there were ninety-six other search results.
The first one in the list is a 1941 book titled A Few Early Families of America, by Johnson Albert. When I
clicked on the link, I was taken to page 136 where William Ball (Colonel) is listed as the father of one
Joseph Ball. A drop-down box at the top of the screen labeled "Go to section:" allows me to move around
the rest of the sections of this book, including the table of contents and the index.
In the index I could look at all the Ball family members included in the book. Based on the page number
listed for William Ball, I returned to the top of the screen and entered page number 135 as cited in the
index. That page was displayed and, sure enough, there was Col. William Ball. (My exact search using the
keyword of 'Colonel' had excluded this page because his military rank was abbreviated. This taught me
another lesson about entering too narrow a search.)
Making the Connection with the Books
I am a huge fan of Interlibrary Loan and I use it a lot to extend my research into materials in the noncirculating collections of distant libraries and archives. However, I never forget that there are digitized local
and family histories online, searchable, printable, and with other options. As I showed you in this scenariO, I
was easily able to locate and access two of the three books at the SoG that had been digitized, and this
saves me another trip to England as well as using ILl. I also found several other books I had not known
were part of the Ancestry.com Family and Local Histories collection. Boy, do I have more fodder for my
research now!

Family is everything. It defines you--the heart of your spirit, the heritage of your smile, not only
the color of your eyes but how they see the world. You are bound by kinship. You add your
own link to the chain, and that is where you strengthen or weaken what you have been
blessed--or burdened--with. That is where you use the indefinable quality that belongs to only
you, the bit of uniqueness you pass on to your children for good or bad, the part of you that will
always be separate from those who share your name, your blood, and your past.

�RESEARCH REUNIONS
Ever wished you had a place to meet with other researchers interested in the same surnames to
share information and work toward solutions of genealogical problems? Now you have!!
Take advantage of our popular research reunions. The Sumner County Archives will make
available our meeting room to groups for research.
Once a vast wilderness area beyond the Cumberland Mountains Suffiner County became the most
populous county in Middle Tennessee in 1786 only 20 years after its first explorers and 10 years
before Tennessee became a state. Remarkably, this was all accomplished while settlers were
enduring Indian attacks.
Sumner played a major and unique role in the expansion of the West as a permanent home for
many and a way station for others who remained long enough to leave footprints. Those
footprints await you ad the Sumner County Archives.

LAWRENCE SCHOOLS, 1937 -1938
(copied in 2006 by Richard Wellman, from pages 72-73, regarding "The
Physical Plant")

It would be very difficult to look back over the years and find a time
when the buildings and grounds comprising the physical plant of the Lawrence
school system have been in better condition. Since the erection of the new
Pinckney and New York buildings and the removal of the old structures at
Quincy, Pinckney, and New York, our elementary schools are housed in quite
modern, well-planned and well-equipped buildings. With the addition of two
rooms at McAliaster this summer, that school will be able to accommodate the
kindergarten and six elementary grades, making it a complete elementary
school for the first time.
In recent years our grounds have received much more attention. The
droughts of the last two summers caused a number of trees to die, but one
hundred new ones have been planted and more will be replaced in the fall.
Heating, lighting, and ventilating systems, although not all they should be,
have been greatly improved in the older buildings, especially. Scientific
and effective floor treatment has been made a part of the program, and our
custodians have become very skillful in maintaining them. Outside painting
has been caught up and is being kept up. These and other improvements are
'
described in more detail below.
CORDLEY-Cordley school was first occupied during the school year
1914-1915. At that time it was a four-teacher school. In order to
accommodate a rapidly growing section of the city, another story was added
in 1928. An inadequate and defective sewer system had to be replaced a few
years later. More recently the boiler was found to be somewhat wasteful of
fuel. After removing the original covering of bricks in which it was set
I

�Page 2 of 3

and given an asbestos covering, its efficiency was greatly improved.
Another recent building improvement at Cord ley is the addition of a
well-equipped stage in the gymnasium-auditorium. Considerable new furniture
has been installed in the classrooms. This year a new floor in the
kindergarten is very much needed. Other improvements include some changes
in the library, now located in one of the former primary rooms. While it
.
would be desirable to plan a new building quite differently, these
improvements have made of Cordley a satisfactory elementary school plant.
LINCOLN-This is our smallest school. It was erected at the same time
Cord ley and McAliaster were built. It has four good school rooms on the
main floor, with gymnasium-auditorium in the basement. The school has no
"
stage. Only two regularly organized classrooms are in use, as the
enrqllment is but approximately 50 pupils. A new roof was found necessary
about three years ago. The boiler should be re-set, as was done at Cordley.
The building is in better than average condition.
McALLASTER-This is the third of the three elementary building erected in
1914. It, too, was a four-teacher school when first opened. They
gymnasium-auditorium floor has been entirely replaced, due to the damage
done by water and termites. The boiler has also been re-set, making a much
more satisfactory heating plant. This school has also had an attractive
stage installed recently. The most of the rooms have been equipped with new
furniture, but additional purchases are needed. Mention has already been
made of the two-room addition now in process of construction.
NEW YORK -This building was erected in 1934, and first used on
Thanksgiving Day of that year. It is a one-story structure of colonial
type, with library, kindergarten, craft room, and eight standard classrooms.
All are equipped with modern furniture. We are painting the exterior
woodwork this year. Here we have another beautiful, modern school plant.
It is also regarded as one of the best school plants in the State of its
type. At the time the building was erected, about half a block was added to
the playground, making its situation quite ideal in this respect.
PINCKNEY-The new Pinckney building, on the site of old Pinckney, was
erected in 1930 and 1931. It was occupied in the fall of 1931. Some
additional playground was purchased at the time, and since then we· have
secured a lease entitling the school to use that portion of Clinton Park
south of the ravine as a playground for a period of 50 years. In return for
this privilege the City of Lawrence has been granted the use of the old
Quincy grounds for a similar period. The building is a handsome two-story
school plant of modernistic architectural type. It is our largest
elementary school, enrolling over 400 children each year. It has, in
addition to office suite, clinic, music room and auditorium-gymnasium, a
library, a kindergarten room, craft room, and twelve standard classrooms.
All rooms are well equipped with modern furniture. The entire interior has
just been redecorated, including the painting of the walls and ceiling of
the auditorium. We now .consider the building one of the most complete and
modern in the State.
WOODLAWN-This is one of the newer buildings, replacing old Woodlawn which
burned in 1923. It has an ample amount of playground space and serves many
community uses. In addition to the auditorium-gymnasium, office, library,
kindergarten, and clinic, eight standard classrooms are provided. The
boiler room of this building is inconveniently located, and it is not
provided with an automatic stoker, as other of our newer schools are. This
building has been repainted recently and·is in very good condition.
JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL -The Junior High School plant consists of three
buildings: 1.) Old High, which was occupied by the senior high school until

�Page 3 of 3

1923. 2.) Manual, which is a building erected for use in conjunction with
the high school, containing the shops, home economics laboratories,
classrooms, etc. 3.) Central, formerly an elementary school, and later used
for the seventh and eight grades-the beginning of the junior high school in
Lawrence.
While the buildings are old, and in many respects outmoded, a great many
changes have been made in recent years to bring them up to an acceptable
standard. Wherever practicable the lighting has been improved; floors have
been replaced or refinished; storm doors added; interiors decorated; seating
modernized; library greatly developed and moved into adequate quarters from
the former cramped space; shrubbery planted about the buildings; grounds
surfaced; sidewalks renewed, etc. It has become necessary to use attic
space for physical education classes. They were not designed for this
purpose, and at best are a mClkeshift, although every effort has been made to
fit them up adequately. This additional weight and strain must cause some
weakening of the structures, although no serious indications have appeared.
Some rodding has been done, and probably more should be done to safeguard
the situation. One of the serious handicaps of using three buildings
instead of one has, in the past, been the crossing of the streets in all
kinds of weather and in the midst of street traffic. Much of the crossing
has been eliminated by a revamped organization of classes. No playground
space was originally provided with these building. Almost the only outlet
is a small space south of Central, or the nearby park. As soon as financial
conditions are favorable, a modern school plant should be built. Its exact
location, structure, and accommodations should be a matter of much intensive
study by administrators, curriculum committees, board members, and citizens.
This should begin now. It is extremely important.
. SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL -This building, known offiCially as Liberty Memorial
High School, was erected in 1922-23. At the time it was, probably, the
finest high school plant in the State. Although a number of larger
buildings have been erected in Kansas more recently, it still ranks as a
first-class senior high school plant. It contains an auditorium, a
gymnasium, several large shop rooms, a cafeteria, home economics
laboratories and classrooms, offices and cliniCS, library, study hall,
lavatories, dressing rooms, and approximately thirty other classrooms.
Recently an additional shop, for the use of the general school mechaniC, has
been built in· space formerly unoccupied, under the main floor at the south
end of the building. Although the bonds were issued to run over a period of
twenty years (and some will probably have to be refinanced), the roof
provided carried only a ten-year guarantee. Consequently, we have already
had a number of roof repair and replacement bills. This summer it is
necessary to replace the gymnasium roof. The auditorium, gymnasium and
dressing rooms are due for decorating this year, as they have had no work of
this nature since the building was first occupied. Some additional current
for illumination must be provided in the gymnasium, as the present service
lines are already loaded to capacity. One of the two automatic stokers
which feed the boilers for heating purposes had to be replaces a few years
ago, and the second one must be replaced this year. The stokers have been a
good investment, as they have cut fuel bills very materially over the years.
A good deal of work has been done in reconditioning the heating and
ventilating system. Many pipes have had to be replaced, and new
installations have been necessary many times to bring the plant up to higher
effiCiency. Nevertheless, this building has been well maintained, and
visitors invariably place its age much less than the 15 years it has seen
service.

�OPEN UP MILITARY FILES AND LEGENDS COME OUT by Andrea Stone

In April 1958, a "Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Erickson" of Sacramento handwrote a letter to thenfirst lady Mamie Eisenhower asking her to ''please, please be so sweet and kind as to ask Ike to
please bring Elvis Presley back to us from the Army."
The next year, an irate Rose Phelan of Oak Park, IL, typed a letter to her congressman after
reading a newspaper item that said Presley might get an early discharge for "good behavior."
Phelan demanded that her son, also stationed in Germany, get the same treatment.
Unfortunately for Sgt. Presley, the Army's adjutant general had the last word Maj. Gen R.V. Lee
wrote that the famous soldier ''will not be released in a manner different from any other inductee
serving overseas."
The correspondence is part of Presley's military personnel file, and until now it was beyond the
public's prying eyes.
But starting Saturday, June 11, 2006, the public will be able to peek for the first time into the
private military service files of 150 famous people. They are just the most prominent of nearly
1.2 million records that the National Archives and Records Administration will open at its
facility in St. Louis. It's the first of several public releases expected between now and 2067. Most
of these files contain the records of Navy and Marine Corps enlisted troops who served between
1885 and 1939.
The files are stored at the federal National personnel Records Center outside St. Louis, the largest
National Archives facility outside the Washington, D.C. area. Until now, the files were off-limits
for privacy reasons. Only the veterans themselves, their immediate family and those with special
permission could view them.
Just how sensitive such files can be was made clear this week by a report in The Boston Globe on
newly released Navy records of Sen. John Kerry, D. Mass. Kerry refused to release the full file
during the 2004 presidential campaign, but ifhe had, the documents would have revealed that
Kerry received four D's in his freshman year at Yale University and had a virtually identical
grade point average to his younger classmate, George W. Bush.
Most military records are less controversial. They are used to determine government benefits and
pensions. The files being opened to the public contain tens of millions of pages that include
enlistment papers, training records, award citations, performance ratings and written
correspondence.
. The paper records, some of them brittle and crumbling, are among 56 million military personnel
files stored at the Archives' massive warehouse in St. Louis. They belong to the Pentagon, which
had planned to destroy the older files until the Archives began talks in 1999 to take over custody

�and preserve them.
Military records archivist William Siebert says similar records from the IS th century and the Civil
War are among the most sought after and actively used documents in the Archives. "Logic would
tell you that similar records from the 20th century would be similarly valued by the American
people," he says.
Under an agreement with the Pentagon, personnel files can be released to the Archives 62 years
after a service member leaves the military. Record of ''persons of exceptional prominence can be
released 10 years after death.
Among other files being made public are those of boxer Joe Louis; baseball great Hank
Greenberg; actors Henry Fonda, Humphrey Bogart and Steve McQueen; former presidents
Franklin Roosevelt and John Kennedy; and military legends Douglas MacArthur and World War
I Medal of Honor recipient Alvin York.
For the most part, Saturday's release includes enlisted sailors and Marines. Officer files from the
Navy and Marines will be released starting in 2036. The first general release of
Armh and Air Force service records won't happen unti12022. But baby boomers or their
offspring hoping to get hold of their parents' or grandparents' records rna be disappointed. A fire
in 1973 destroyed 29 million Army records, including most from World War II.
Even so, says government archivist Gregory Pomicter, the surviving records are "a gold mine for
historians and genealogists.
2 WAYS TO SEE THE RECORDS
The National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis will formally open the records of 1.2 million
military service members at a ceremony ~aturday (June 11,2006).
How can I view these records?
&gt;In person. In the research room at the center. Appointments are recommended because space is
limited and some brittle records may require treatment to be handled. Call 214-S01-0S50
&gt;By mail. Copies can be requested by writing to the National Personnel Records Center, Page
Ave., St. Louis, MO, 63132-5100. Copies cost 50 cents a page. Records aren't available byemail, and they aren't online.

�AUTOMAnON OF LAND RECORDS NEARLY COMPLETE by Larry Cave, General Land
Office Records Automation.
The BLM-ES General Land Office Records Automation Team is nearing the completion of
scanning and indexing nearly 1.25 million post-1908Iand-ownership records (patents)
mairitained at the BLM Eastern State Office in Springfield, VA. As of March 15, less than
140,000 of these serialized patents remain to be scanned and indexed. This phase is scheduled
for completion in December, 2005. These land records include serialized patents issued for all of
the public land states, including the West.
The first phase, completed several years ago, involved scanning and indexing of more than 2
million eastern states' land records, primarily cash and homestead patents. This second phase
consists of automating federal land grant records from July 1, 1908, when the General Land
Office centralized the issuance of patents out of their Washington Office, until the early 1970s '
when this authority reverted to the various BLM state offices.
These serialized patents also include a sizable number of resurveyed areas of the West, creating a
noticeable increase in the complexity of the records handled by staffers. For example, a patent
that may have covered a single 640-acre section of land (with a single land description on the
document) might now be shown as consisting of 16 lots, each containing about 40 acres (creating
16 land descriptions to be indexed and verified).
The remaining documents to be processed by 2010 include about 150,000 cash and homestead
patents, about 65,000 "credit patents", dating back to 1788, and some 100,000 patents, covering
the period from mid-1907 through July 1, 1908, when the various local land offices stopped
. "ssuing their own patents. Also remaining are more than a half million military bounty warrants
ifrom the 1800s and other miscellaneous records. More than 4 million land patent images are

�-BRIGHAM YOUNG UNNERSITY WEBSITE FOR SEARClllNG BOOKS
Barbara McKinne')' (WA) - Oct 12, 2005
- - The following Is an article about online books that I just received from my 3rd Cousin, Marilyn Gloyd on my Howar~ ~~n~_.•.
You can go to the Brigham Young University website http:L/lib.b,),u.edul and do searches of over 5000 books which the FaIT
History Library has put online .
... the LOS Family History Library has announced that It has begun the process of digitizing and making available on the
Intemet all of the Family History books In their collection. These are primarily books In the "929.273 Series" that are cun
housed on the first floor of the Family History Library (previously housed on the fourth floor of the Joseph Smith Memorli
Building). At the present time (September 2005), about 5000 books have been digitized and are available, and they haVE
announced that they are adding about 100 titles a week to the on-line collection.
Copyright issues are playing a role in determining the order in which they progress through this task; books out of copyr
are being done first.

As these Family History books are digitized and placed on-line, an entry is being placed In the Family History Library on-I
catalog with a hyperilnk to the digitized Image. By going to the FHL On-Line Catalog, you can search for a specific name,
a book that has been Indexed using the name, and view it on-line, flipping through the pages as separate "pdf' Images,
the same as If you were on the first floor of the Family History Library. Of course, the Indexing that Is available through t
FHL catalog Is only as good as the human Indexers made It; typically they only Include the "top" 4 to 6 names that appei
each book In their Indexing efforts.
But there Is even better news!
The digitized Images of these Family History books are actually being stored on the electronic servers at Brigham Young
University in Provo, utah. By going directly to the BYU web site to view the Images, there are several additional posslbilitie
that provide
genealogists functionality that they have never had before. You are now able to do full-text searches on each book, and 0
every digitized book In the collection. Now you can locate the small two- paragraph entry on Grandpa Ebnezer McGarrah t
burled In one of the Family History books that you would have otherwise never thought to look at before. this can open
huge new possibility for extending lines, getting past brick walls, and uncovering new relatives!
How to Find The Digitized Images?

Go to the web site of the Harold B. Lee Library at BYU at
httR.Jjlib.b')'u.edu
and_on their home page, follow the links "Find Other Materials/ElectroniC/On Line Collections at BYU". Qick on the "Text
Collections" tab and select the "Family History Archive" from the list of collections that are displayed. You would then nOI want

to use the "Search All" feature with the "Search Full Text" box checked, although the "Advanced Search" will-allow very t--- -- --powered searches that will allow certain phrases to be searched for and other words to be used to exclude potential hits.
you make selections from the "hits" that are displayed, you will need to use the "Click
Here to View Item" button near the top of the screen to display the actual image of the page. You can page through the
entire document using the index displayed on the left side of the screen. Each page may be printed after being vieWed.
One Interesting sidelight Is, when you are at the first web page for the Family History Archive (the page that lets you begh
search), click on the "Browse the Collection" button. This will display every Family History book that has been digitized al
available In the collection. You can scroll through this list much the same as if you
were walking up and down the stacks at the library. At the top of the first page of the search results, It displays the num
hits, which (In this case) is the number of books In the collection. If you keep track of this number, you can get a pretty
Idea of how fast they are adding titles to the collection as you revisit the web site from time to time. I think you will want
visit this site often as the collection grows

�Obituary Five Months After Death
Lawrence Daily Journal-World, June 25, 1931

OBITUARY
Mrs. Barbara Sellards
The remains of Mrs. Barbara Sellards, widow of Dr. A.B. Sellards, were returned
to Lawrence from Los Angeles and laid to rest in Oak Hill cemetery this morning.
Barbara Miller Sellards was born in Sciotoville, Ohio, April 25, 1858. She was
married to Dr. A.B. Sellards in 1876. They moved to Lawrence in 1896 to educate their
children. Barbara Sellards is survided by eight children and eight grandchildren, five of
whom reside on the Pacific coast; two on the Atlantic coast; and Mr. and Mrs. J.R.
Pearson have made their home with her in Lawrence for the past few years. The children
include Elizabeth, Mrs. Gertrude Pearson, Myrtle, Mrs. May Young of Clarkdale, Ariz.,
Bertha of Washington, D.C., Archie of Los Angeles, Carl of San Francisco, and Ted of
Buffalo, N.Y.
Her many friends were grieved to learn of her sudden passing, but with the sorrow
is the sense that her community was blessed in having such a modest and kindly woman.
The Rev. W.D. Vincent of Baldwin officiated for the burial services at Oak Hill
cemetery. He was a former pastor forty years ago, who received her and Dr. Sellards into
the Methodist Episcopal church from the Methodist church in Kentucky.
Mrs. Sellards had gone to Los Angeles with her daughter, Mrs. J.R. Pearson,
January 6. She was stricken with pneumonia two days after reaching there and passed
away January 15, 1931. Funeral services were held in Los Angeles, Calif., Jan. 17, 1931.

�AN OBITUARY FROM THE LECOMPTON SUN 2 JULY 1931
T.E. Moore was born January 17, 1846, near Quincy, Lewis County, Kentucky. At the age often
years he went with his parents to northwestern lllinois. When thirteen years of age he was taken
by his father's uncle aboard a mail packet running on the Ohio river between Cincinnati and
Portsmouth, Ohio.
When the Civil War was declared he intered the service of the Federal army as a drummer. At the
close of the civil war he again entered the water service, but at the request and wish of his mother
did not remain but a short time.
After quitting the lifr on water he entered the railroad service where he spent the most of his
mature life as conductor and engineer. He was for many years employed on the Atchson Topeka
and Santa Fe railroad, rendering them good, faithful service.
On December 12, 1876, he was married to Sarah E. Spurgon at Lawrence. To this union there
were no children born, yet until recent years on account of Mrs. Moore's health, their home ever
was the home of children, especially Mrs. Moore's sister's children.
He was raised to the sublime degree of a Master Mason, June 6, 1881, at Ottawa, where he sill is a
member of good standing. Naturally he was a close observer, always quick to see whwere he .
might lend some assistance in time of need. He put strong stress to the principles taught in Free
Masonry, endeavoring to live a life similar to the life of Christ, feeling that in so doing he was
living the life of a Christian and the world wold be better by his living in it.
This instrument was written by T. E. Moore. It is my wish and request, regardless of where I may

THE HILLMAN MYSTERY
A Coroner's inquest on the body purporting to be that of Hillman was held at the court house,
yesterday. A jury consisting ofW.G~ Hubbell, G.W. Morris, S.W. Adams, E.B. Good, A Tosh
and O.D Pickens was impanneled. Mr. J.H. Brown, who claims to have accidentally shot
Hillman, was placed on the witness stand. He questioned in regard to every minute particular by
Mr. Geo. Barker. The testimony is too long and mixed up to be given in full, but principal facts
are about as follows: He has been acquainted with Hillman for some time, and has been with him
in Colorado, Texas and other parts of the country. He went with Hillman on his last trip, having
no particular contract with him, but an understanding that he was to go to work and receive pay
as soon as he got a cattle ranch. After leaving Wichita they met a stranger, who disappeared again
near Cow Creek. Another stranger came into camp, whom he described.as small with sandy
complexion. He did not learn the stranger's name. He had never seen he man since the day after
his coming to camp, and would not be able to recognize him. On the 17th of March they did no
traveling, but remained at the place of their last camp. The wagon was facing to the southwest. A
fire was built about ten feet from the wagon. They had supper about four o'clock in the
afternoon, and about sundown or a little later the tragedy occurred in the manner already given to
our readers. On hearing the report of the rifle, witness turned around and saw Hillman stagger,
and fearing he would fall in the fire caught him and whirled him around and dropped him down
on the ground. Hillman made no outcry. Witness left the body in position it fell until he returned
with a Mr. Graves.
The clothing, papers, etc. belonging to Hillman were given to the Coroner and afterward back to
Brown. The articles were produced in court. The shoes which Hillman had on were not to be
found with the other articles, yesterday. Witness said he did not that had become of them..
On being closely questioned about the provisions which they had with them as the time ofthe
accident, Brown said that they had about forty pounds of flour a small quntity of meat, and some
coffee. During the trip Hillman complained of soreness in his arms, caused by vaccination;
otherwise his health was tolerably good.
At about six o'clock Coroner Morris adjourned the inquest to eight o'clock this moming. At that
time the examination of Brown will be continued. The body purporting to be that of Hillman was
buried yesterday afternoon.
(Editor's note). You will recall that this summer the body in the grave was exhumed and tested
to see if it was really Hillman. No conclusion was reached.

�From The Republican Journal Thursday, October 19, 1876.
Died in this city on the 18th instant, Mrs. Almira Haskell, in the seventy third year of her age.
The death of Mrs. Haskell was not unlooked for as her health had been feeble for several months
and for some. time she had evidently been rapidly approaching her end.
Mrs.Haskell was born in Weathersfield, Vermont. In March, 1855, accompanied b her son Hon.·
Dudleye Haskell, then a boy of thirteen, she reached Lawrence and joined her husband who had
preceded her a few months in coming to Kansas, and had taken a claim adjoining the town-the
same upon which the Haskell brothers now reside-where he had erected a cabin. From that day to
the present more than twenty-one years, Mrs Haskell has been a resident of Lawrence, leading
during the most of the time and active, and all of the time a useful life. She has survived to see all
of her children will settled in life, with growing families about them, and honored and useful
members of society.
Mrs. Haskell was a woman of great force of character, of rare judgment and good sence, a
consistent member of the Congregational church, an affectionate wife, a good mother, a kind
neighbor and in all respects a noble and excellent woman. When such a person passed away, in
the fullness of years and with life's labor so well done, although we cannot but feel grave and
serious in the presence of death, we yet recognize it as the appropriate earthly termination ,of a
well accomplished career.
.
The pioneers of our State are rapidly thinning out. Those who were in middle age when Kansas
was first settled are now old people. Among those who by their labors and trials did so much not
only for the freedom of Kansas, but to lay her foundations broad and deep upon the enduring
basis of public and private virtue, few will be longer remembered or more sincerely mourned
than his daughter of New England, this "Mother in Israel", who has just passed away.
From The Republican Journal Sunday, June 11, 1876
OUR CEMETERY
A drive through Oak Hill and what we saw.
The work of Prof. Wiltz-his admiration for the ground-what has been done, what will be done
and what ought to be done.
.
In company with Ex-Mayor Grovenor, for six years superintendent of our city cemeteries, we
drove through Oak Hill, last week and must here t the start express our surprise at what saw and
were told.
Ten years ago, or thereabouts, Oak Hill became the property of Lawrence. It was then a series of
shapeless hills and gulches, densely overgrown with hazel brush, scrub oak and thick underwood,
altogether uncaptivating to any but the eye of an artist, who could see its natural advantages and
the thing of beauty which time and money could easily render it, and which it has even now

�become.
As we enter the Cemetery from the south side and upon turning slightly to the right we find
ourselves between the wide-apart heads of two ravines leading towards the potter~s field in the
north eastern corned of the grounds. For the present we are compelled to reach this field by
following the extreme eastern fence, but according to Mr. Wiltz's design, and in about one month
when certain bridges shall have been constructed, a beautiful roadway will lead down thr~)Ugh the
rich luxurious shade, between the two ravines, to the point of their junction. Here are to be '
erected two rustic bridges, sixteen feet in width, the one leading to the right into the potter's
field, the other to the left into a newly graded carriage-way which skirts the northern boundary of
the grounds, and by a series of graceful curves brings the sight seer to the foot of the central
eminence. The part now most familiar to our citizens. The point where the two bridges are to be
built, is one of the great natural beauty, and when art shall have rendered it accessable and
seeable we know of no place more generally attractive. The potter's field, Mr. Wiltz says, is
about the best portion of the whole cemetery. It slopes from the easteni line toward the west,
down to th edge of the ravine. The homely graves of the friendless or penniless dead are carefully
located, marked and tended. Several groups of rees and shrubbery in this field are exquisitely
beautiful. Leaving the two bridges.by the new roadway we fmd a gracefully constructed track
bordered on either wide by natural and artificial eminences, sloped, ledges and grouping of
shrubbery. Other roads and drives there are which we cannot mention in detail. The slopes either
way from the Lane monument, are under the most careful cultivation, and present every attraction
to the visitor. Which reminds us of what Mr. Wiltz says about the estimation in which cemeteries
should be held. "They ought" says he, " to be considered almost as much a place for the living
may repair with pleasure". Mr Wiltz, we may explain, is a perfect master of the situation. For two
years he was head gardener for the Emperor of Germany, and perfect a beautiful park near'
Moscow. Most of his work in America has been done near Cincinnati and it is all preminently
fine. He considers our cemetery a place of great natural advantages, one of the best, in fact,
which he has seen in t4e whole west. Could the city carry out even the plans which he perfected
during his short stay here, very much would be accomplished. There are growing at present in the
ground fourteen varieties of the oak whence the name "Oak Hill." These oaks were to a great
extent grouped off by Mr. Wiltz so as to secure the very best sort of an effect. Mr Wiltz was
especially delighted with one view which he secured by his management of trees. It takes i~ a
most beautiful section of the cemetery, and a far off sight of the blue bluffs north of the Kansas
~~

,

One good thing about all this excellence is the fact that what has been done and what wil be are
amply provided for pecuniarily. Under Mr. Grovenor's careful management the cemetery fund
'
now stands at about $6000.This amount is safely invested.
The burials thus far number about 1500. The average price oflots is 12 ~ cents per square foot,
600 feet (usually) to the lot. The grounds are large enough to provide room for fifty or seventyfive years to come.
Mr. Grovenor feels a great interest in the welfare of the cemetery, gives to it a great deal of his
time, and has done a work there which our people should appreciate. We hope they will lend him

�all possible assistance and encouragement in this rare good work.
From The Daily Journal Wednesday, July 30, 1879.
The funeral ofHon. Joel Grover took place from his late residence yesterday afternoon at four
o'clock, Rev. Mr. Richardson officiating.
Mr. Grover was born in the State of New York, In August, 1824, where his early youth was
spent. He removed with his father's family to Michigan about 1838 or '40. Afterwards he went to
California, where he remained about one ear. He came to Kansas with the second party of
emigrants in 1854, arriving at Lawrence on September 15 of that year. Soon after he selected a
claim of 160 acres of land on which he erected comfortable buildings for a home, and there he
has lived, reared his family and died.
"
He was the first Colonel of the Free State forces, in our early troubles, and took a prominet part
in the border ruffian war. He commanded a company at the taking of Fort Titus, in 1856. He was
for six years on of the County Commissioners of Douglas county, and in 1860 served as a
member of the Legislature.
He was a man of decided opinions and had no patience with men who ere more easily swayed.
His temperance principles carried him so far that he would use nither tea, coffee, wine, cider, or
any kind of liquors.
In 1857 he was married to Emily J. Hunt, who has a mother, two brothers, and a sister still living
in this city. The fruits of their marriage has been eight children, seven of whom are still living,
the eldest, Frank G, being twenty years old. The other children are Nellie, aged 17; Charles, 14;
Cora, 11; Ernest, 9; Lily, 5; and Joy, an infant.
About the first oflast January Mr Grover was attacked with pleurisy, and gathering soon after
formed on his side, which has been opened three times, which seemed to form an abscess. The
post mortem examination showed that his lungs had almost entirely ran off in this way. During
all these months he has been a patient sufferer, his greatest care seeming to be that he was so
much a burden to his friends. For the last two months Mssrs. Blake, Crutchfield, Wm Brown, and
Mr. Foster have taken upon themselves the entire care ofMr Grover at night" and he friends feel
deeply grateful to them for their untiring devotion. In accordance with mr. Grover's wishes he
was buried upon the far, a short distance south of the house.
,

(Editor's note) I believe that this is the man who built Grover's bam on 23rd street. It has been the
home of a fIre station for several years.

A Fitting Program was well Chosen; One Hundred and twenty old Soldiers are on the

The Decoration Day services were the most complete and interesting of any that have ever been
held here. Services were held at the cemetery in the morning following which all the old
soldiers' graves were fittingly decorated by the G. A. R. members. In the afternoon at 2:,00, the
address by Rev. C. H. Montgomery made a fitting close to the week's' services. His talk was
unusually fine and the members of the G. A. R. and friends are exceedingly pleased with the
whole list of services which started with the Memorial day sermon by Rev. Enyeart.

County:
England divided into administrative counties, each has main town/city where offices are located.
(Boundaries of the counties were re-organized in 1974 [www.genuki.org.uk has information].
(Entering "County" Record Office should give you the web site for that county record office with
information on their collections, etc.)

Parish:
Many parish (Church of England) records available through the IGI, a few parish records have been
posted online by individuals, many can be ord~red through a nearby LDS Center
.(www.familysearch.org; for availability; small charge for this).
Besides baptisms, marriages, and burials, until recent times parishes were also administrative units
for: road repair, maintaining parish boundaries, taking care of the poor and needy. (Poor Law
Records available in record offices include: settlement certificates, bastardy orders, work house
records, etc.)

Civil Registration:
Civil Registration of births, marriages, deaths began in 1837; registration was by quarter year, e.g.,
March,June, September, December (does not show exact date). Registration districts made up of
several parishes; registration districts have changed over the years, combined/split. (Sites such as
FreeBMD include information on changes in registration districts.)

�HANDOUTS FROM NOVEMBER MEETING

Twenty Online Sources for
English and Welsh· Ancestry
Alan Stewart recommends 20 of the top sites for English and Welsh genealogy research.
IF YOU HAVE ANCESTORS who came
to North America from England or
Wales, there are many web sites
you can turn to for help in tracing
their roots. Census returns, for
example, have been indexed for
1871 (partially), 1881, 1891 and
1901, and are accessible over the
Internet. In addition, you can also
view online the indexed images of
wills dating from 1384 to 1858.
Unfortunately, vital records and
parish registers are not yet on the
web, unlike those of Scotland.
You can, however, view
images of the vital records indexes
at several websites, and a fully
searchable computer index is
being prepared by volunteers.
Some local indexes of vital records
are also online, as are various
parish register, census and monumental inscription indexes. Here is
my choice of tl-\e most useful websites for English and Welsh
research:

Census of England and Wales
site, which is owned by the UK's
The National Archives (TNA).
Searching the index is free, but
there is a charge of 75 pence to
view the digital image of an actual page of the census. It will cost
you 50 pence for a transcription
of one person's entry in the census, and a further 50 pence will
buy an additional transcription
covering the remaining people in
the same household. A credit-card
session costs a minimum of £5
and lasts 48 hours, but vouchers
to the value of £5, £10 or £50 last
for six months from the date you
first use them. In Canada, you
can buy the vouchers from the
British Isles Family History
Society of Greater Ottawa
(www.bifl1sgo.ca).

�HISTORY OF

TERRITORIAL

LECOMPTON, KANSAS

By the" Centennial Committee
(See page 16)

�-

HISTORY OF TERRITORIAL LECOMPTON
by
The Centennial Committee (See page 16)
Lecompton, Kansas, is located in the northwestern part of Douglas County, on the Kansas River.
It has an elevation of846 feet. Topeka is located eighteen miles west of it, and Lawrence is twelve
miles east of town. It is located amongst seven hills, which are tree covered; along the river to the
southward lies a beautifully rolling farm region.
It is believed that the site of Lecompton, Kansas, was first visited by French traders who followed
the Kansas River as they ventured to explore the west for fur trade with the Indians in the first part
of the eighteenth century.
By an Act of May 26, 1830, Kansas Territory was designated as Indian Reservation. The tribes east
of the Mississippi were encouraged to go there and were promised aid. Indian ReservationAgents
. and missionaries were allowed in that territory, but it was not open to white settlement. By 1850,
due to the pressure of settlers desiring to move west, the land was purchased from the Indians, and
they were persuaded to move to new and smaller reservations.
In May of 1854, Kansas was organized as a territory, by the Kansas Nebraska Act, with the right
of settlement. The state was to be settled and then at such time as it had reached the necessary
. population quota and was desirous of becoming a state, it could by popular election, decide if it
wished to be slave or free state.
This condition immediately interested both the north and the south, and each started fundi raising
expeditions to send emigrants to Kansas. The balance of power between the two sections of the
country ·was so evenly matched, that could either section obtain the dominarice in Kansas, it would
be greatly to the advantage of both north and south. Accordingly, each started sending settlers to
Kansas.
The first actual settler at Lecompton seems to have been William R Simmons, who had previously
joined J. H. Lane's regiment in Indiana, and fought in the Mexican .War, during which war he
received two major wounds. In March, 1852, Mr. Simmons left Indiana and wandered on foot along
the Kansas River, until he came upon what was later to be the site of Lecompton, Kansas, where he
took a squatter's right claim. Mr. Simmons immediately started a ferry across the Kansas River.
Ely Moore recounts in an address, a visit he had with Mr. Simmons. Moore, on his way to Fort
Leavenworth with an order for troops to keep trespassers off Indian Lands, stopped at the future
town of Lecompton where he heard there was a ferry. There he spied a man sitting astride a log
skinning a catfish. Without eve~ looking up, the man saluted Moore with these words, "Stranger,
light and look at your saddle," meaning "Dismount and rest".
After a few words Moore inquired about a fem. Mr. Simmons pointed to a huge sycamore log
some twenty feet long, five feet in diameter and with a center excavation about five feet in length.
"Thar's the ferry", he explained, "and hyar's the ferryman."· Noting a slight distrust in Moore's
manner, he added, "Don't feel skeery mister, for she's as dry as a Missourian's throat and as safe as
the American flag!"
.
With that they embarked on the "Fairy Queen", as the ferryman termed the sycamore log, and were
soon afloat on the Kaw, with but a single paddle to guide and propel them. The only mishap
sustained while crossing, was to the horse, who as he swam after the boat, was struck on the shoulder

1

�by a huge drifting log, turning him completely over. However, he soon recovered from the shock
and struck out for shore.
Somewhat later a ferry boat larger (sic) enough to transport a stage coach and six or eight horses
were used to cross the river.
In the fall of 1854, Dr. Rodrique and A. G. Boone started out to explore that part of Kansas, their
object being primarily to locate claims for themselves and incidentally to select an eligible site for
the capital of the territory.
.
They traveled in thei~ own conveyance and were a~tended by a driver who did duty as a cook.
When night overtook them, they camped, pitched their tent, picketed their horses and "roughed it".
There were but few roads and little opportunity to get information, as everyone they met, was like
they were, explorers.
In the absence of roads they did the next best thing and followed the river. By following this from
Rock Crossing, then in the course of a few miles coming upon what is now Lake View, which was
so large and impractical to cross, they decided to camp for a day, and while the horses wereresting,
and the cook replenishing their food supply, to reconnoiter on foot. ·It was early in the morning when
they started and the grass and undergrowth was covered with dew. By the time they had gone three
or four miles they were wet to the skin .
. At length they came to a ridge that terminated abruptly at the river. They climbed to the summit
and sat down under a big tree to rest. The longer they rested the less inclined they were to go further.
"I think we have gone far enough, Colonel," said Rodrique, and Boone replied that he was about to
say the same thing. As the beauty of the landscape impressed itse}fmore and more upon them, they
became enthusiastic and predicted that in the great amphitheater of the hills before and below them,
that a great metropolis would arise, and would command the admiration of the whole state. Dr.
Rodrique pointed down the slope, indicating a spot he would make his pome, (which later lJecame
the old graveyard east of town, and where he was subsequently buried).
Boone said it was difficult to decide among so many beautiful locations, but he would stay.
somewhere.
Then the question of a name was discussed. Rodrique suggested "Eureka' , but Boone obj ected and
then Rodrique suggested, "Hazel Doll". Boone let out a roaring laugh and proposed "PellMell".
"Oh!" said Rodrique, "I know what you want to call it, Boonboro." "No, I don't/' retorted Boone,
"but I consider that more appropriate than yo~r sentimental nonsense."
Just then a great bird left its· nest in a big sycamore, that stood near by, and as the two watched its
flight, Rodrique turned to Boone and said, "Why not call it 'Bald Eagle'?" "It's a go, "said Boone.
"I'll consent to that much nonsense- we dedicate it Bald Eagle; let it soar."
During the winter of 1854-1855, Samuel D. LeCompte of Maryland, was appointed Federaf Judge
of the territory. His good character had been liberally heralded throughout the territory and so in his
honor the name of the town was changed from Bald Eagle to Lecompton, as it was felt Bald Eagle·
was not a dignified enough name for a town that was a proposed capital.
.
The men returned to Missouri and at once set about organizing a town company. Elias Armstrong,
. a half breed Wyandotte Indian, who had been given a concession ofland for services to his tribe,
located afloat on the fractional section and started something of interest in inducing settlers to come
to Kansas. The start was slow as the Free State papers would not mention the project because of its
southern affiliations, and the Pro-Slavery papers feared it was a rival town and refused to print
.
.
anything about it.
2

�-

The Lecompton Town Company was finally organized at the Pottawatomie Agency and consisted
ofJudge LeCompte, President: John Haldermen, Secretary; Daniel Woodson, Treasurer; George
Clark and Chauncey Donaldson. They decided to send men to the west to locate definitely a town
site.
.
The last of July, 1854, there were four men who arrived at Bald Eagle. They were Dr. Rodrique,
Colonel Boone, Samuel Jones, and Major Lyman Evans. Stopping to rest on Court House Hill,
they heard a snapping.and crackling of brush, after which a man in tattered garments, hatiess, with
hair awry, and a very red face, jumped into their midst, exclaiming, "I saw your smoke and smells
a fuss. What are young doing hyar? This air my land, plumb sure and nobody can jump it with a
whole skin. Do un's hear my clatter?" This was ferryman Simmons, guarding his claim against
jumpers. However; after a parley and a pressing invitation to join them in a good supper, diplomacy
won. Simmons was to possess one eighth of the city, free of expenses. Thus the town site was
practically established.
In. the spring of 1855, the town company held a meeting and reported that D. H. Harting had
surveyed the town site, consisting of 600 acres, and had laid out the principal streets and blocks. It
was the design and expectation that Lecompton would become the capital and a large city as well;
therefore, the streets were planned to be 75 feet wide, to accommodate the traffic of such a place.
In the summer of 1853, a caravan of settlers, of which Mrs. Rachel Jane Coulter Todhunter was
one, camped at Lecompton, where buffalo and all sorts of wild game abounded. These people
decided to stay, and built a cabin and dug a well. This well became the watering place fo~passing
trains, and a camping spot for emigrants. Some of these men returned to Missouri in the fall.
They came back in the spring of 1854 with their families. As soon as the Land Office opened, Mr.
Todhunter filed on his claim. During the month of May, 1855, a steamer came up the river. The
settlers were so over-joyed to see the boat and its occupants that they prevailed upon the captain to
tie up for a day and a night and give the people a ball. It was a memorable occasion. Mrs.
Todhunter joined in the festivities and danced with Governor Reeder. She also helped serve a
.
dinner to members of the territorial legislature in the Constitutional Hall.
During the territorial conflict when there were raids on the settlers' homes, and much horse
stealing, single shot rifles were the only available defense. In emergencies it required more than one
ri fle if there was to be more than one shot. Mr. Todhunter kept a group of loaded guns in a comer
of his cabin. One evening upon hearing a disturbance at his horse corral, he hurriedly reached for
a gun, accidently discharging it, killing himself. Mrs. Todhunter was left a widow with three
children, but she remained on the farm. Later she became Mrs. W. R. McCarty, and they falmed
their original 160 acres. This is probably the oldest farm in the state in continuous ownership .
. In 1854, a small group settled around Lecompton. They were A. W. and A. G. Glenn, father and
son; G. W. Zinn, J. G. McClanahan, David Martin, M. S. Winter, and William Shirley.
The McClanahan and Zinn families traveled together to Lecompton from Missouri, in covered
wagons. There was, then, no sign of habitation where the city of Lawrence now stands. Where the
future Lecompton was to be located, there was but a single log cabin. The families continued
westward for miles and finally decided to locate on the Kansas River. The McClanahans built a preemption cabin to live in until a large one could be built.
The following year, a two room log house was built. It consisted of a large kitchen and a smaller
room adjoining, There was a large fireplace in the north end of the kitchen and a smaller one on the
east side ofthe small room. The kitchen fire place was used as a place to cook. They used a dutch

ox

3

�-

oven over which they raked coals and baked their breads and other foods.
Their food consisted mostly of meat, both tame and wild, breads, and what vegetables tQey could
raise. They used grease lamp for lighting. It consisted of a covered bowl containing two spouts, one
on either side, out of each protruded a wick. This made a dull smoky light. Soon, on. a trip to
Leavenworth after supplies, Mr. McClanahan came home with candle molds and wicking with
which to make candles that produced a better light than the grease lamps. A few years later a
kerosene lamp was obtained; and to their delight they had a lovely, yellow, glowing light.
Their clothing was very simple, the first few years, consisting mostly of garments made of a coarse
shirting material. As the McClanahans kept sheep, they sheared them, washed the wool', and the
children spent a great de'al of time picking burrs from it. . It was then sent to a carding mill at
Leavenworth, Kansas, where it was carded and made into yam. Later Mrs. McClanahan obtained
a spinning wheel and spun the yam for the family. All the women of the family knitted and the
evenings were spent inknitting socks and various other articles. These woolen socks were worn the
year around, as they were the only ones obtainable. Shoes were bought only when a trip was made
to a trading post, as at Leavenworth. Whenever the family went visiting or to church in the summer,
if they walked, the children went barefooted until they were within sight of their destinat.ion, and
then sat down and put on the shoes which they had carried. Shoes were scarce and relatively
expensive, therefore, they were to be treasured.
.
Upon completing the cabin, Mr. McClanahan had made rude chairs, a table, and beds. In the
winter, the family slept on feather beds, using another feather bed for covering. This was a' very
warm covering, and very needed in a drafty log cabin. The cabin was well chinked and .weather
tight, but even so, the doors and windows didn't fit as tightly as in a frame dwelling. Mr.
McClanahan later made two walnut cupboards from boards sawed out of logs on the place. These
cupboards were used for storing dishes and food. Later a carpenter at Tecumseh made·a six foot
long, drop leaf table, and a Mr. Spencer at Big Springs made anumber of chairs, that had hand
woven, hickory bark bottoms. One of these was a large rocking chair and is still in·use.
There were still Indians scattered around, but they were friendly with the family. It was a cardinal
rule among the settlers, that should an Indian corne to the cabin, to give him whatever he wanted,
never cross him, as he became ugly. One day an Indian squaw came to the McClanahan cabin, and
spying the small daughter Martha playil!g with a tiny cup, demanded it. Normally, Mrs.
McClanahan would have instantly given her what she desired, but it was the only toy the child had.
It was unlikely that she could get another, because it had been brought from their home in Missouri,
so she refused. The child cried, and the Indians squaw insisted. Finally the harried woman said,
"No, it belongs to my papoose." The Indian squaw was then satisfied, as Indians were notorious
child spoilers, and left.
It was unusual for the Indians to ask for things other than food. One fall after Mr. McClanahan had
. butchered, an Indian buck appeared and asked for "hoggy" meat. He gave him a head and some
jowl. The Indian then asked for a sack, which they greatlyprized. Mr. McClanahan found him one
and away he went. Soon another Indian appeared, asking for meat. Mr. McClanahan offered head
.and jowl to him. He also asked for a sack. but Mr. McClanahan said he had no more. Whereupon,
the Indian pulled a sack from inside the front of his garment, filled it with the meat and left. Sacks
were of great interest to the Indians, as theirs that they contrived were so clumsy and heavy, and not
as easily carried.
.
Somewhat later, when the Indians were almost gone, an old Indian buck came to the house and
4

�asked for something to eat. Mrs. McClanahan had just finished churning and had a great deal of .
butter milk setting there in the chum. The Indian grabbed up a cup, and drank and drank. Mrs.
McClanahan feared he wouid burst. Suddenly he clapped his hand over his mouth, ran for the yard,
and was violently sick. Just then, and old squaw came riding into the yard, intent on asking for food
also. She stopped to converse with the sick buck, who warned her away, whether he told her, he had
been poisoned or what, they never knew, as the Indians never came again.
There was little social life for these people for the first few years, only an occasional visitor, or a
chance to go to church. School was later held three months in the summer for the girls ~nd three
months in the winter for the boys. The purpose of this was to send the boys when there was little
else for then to do. The children studied and played games as they have always done. They played
ball with homemade balls. They played King William, which was a favorite with the girls.
The year following the arrival ofthe McClanahans and Zinns, the Zinn 's daughter, Ann, died. Mr.
McClanahan made coffins for the settlers, so he made one for little Ann, and she was taken to Big
Springs and buried on the George Duncan place. Next day Mr. Zinn got to worrying abo.ut water
getting into the tiny coffin, so he and Mr. McClanahan drove in the lumber wagon to the burial
pla'ce, disinterr,ed her, brought her back to the Zinn place and buried her in a field on the western
edge of the farm, in what later became Maple Grove Cemetery. He gave an acre of that field to be
llsed as a local cemetery; later another acre was added to this tract. This cemetery was used by the
community, but subsequently was organized and used by the town also .
. There were two other burial places in territorial Lecompton, one located on the hill east of town and
called the Bald Eagle Cemetery, where Boone and Rodrique had sighted the Bald Eagle, and
another south ofto~n, known as the Migliario Cemetery
In 1855; Moses McCall, Major Lyman Evans, F. P. Walter, John Damm, Aloyius Riedmuller,
and others came. In August of 1856, Carolyn Wetheim and John Jacob Bahnmaier, immigrants
from Germany, came to Lecompton, and were later married. They settled on a farm southwest of
Lecompton, where they lived the restof their lives. Riedmuller, Walter, and Damm were stone
masons, who came here from Ohio to ply their trade and take up land. They were owners ofland
warrants that had been issued to soldiers of previous wars. These warrants were issued in blank,
and filled in later when the description of the place was available. After the warrants had been
proved, that is the homestead requirements fulfilled, a land patent was issued by the United States
Land Patent Office. F. P. Walter filled out his land warrant, built a cabin, and in February ~f 1856
went to Germany to obtain a bride and visit his parents. He was backby August of that year. While
he was gone, a squatter built a shelter on a comer of his land, preparatory to taking over the claim ..
To discourage him, Walter, Riedmuller, and Bahnmaier would hide in the scrub brush at the, top of
the hill, and fire their guns down over the squatter's shelter on a comer of his land. He finally took
the hint and departed overnight. The Walters used a spring about a quarter of a mile from the'house
as the water supply, as did some neighboring Indians. One day'when Mrs. Walter went to the
spring she saw what she took to be a mother cat and kittens. As she was lonely for household
animals, she decided to catch some of the kittens and have them for pets. She cornered the moth~r
cat, who promptly reared her tail erect and shot a stream of vile smelling liquid all over her face,
hair, and dress front. Partly blinded and very sick she hurried to the house for help. Mr. Walter told
her, too late, that those kittens were to be treated with respect and never molested, as they were
skunks.
Indians were frequent visitors at the Walter cabin; and were particularly fond of bread, to which

5

�•

they help'ed themselves, ifit was in evidence. Once when they wereparticularly hungry, they came
to the door and asked for a chicken or a cow. Needless to say, they were given the chicken .. Mr.
Walter worked in Lawrence, walking there early Monday morning and returning late Saturday night.
The rest of the week, Mrs. Walter spent alone, often walking to the Big Springs with a bucket of
produce in one hand and carrying a. baby.
There was soon a steady stream of settlers, politicians, and land speculators to the area of
Lecompton. There were seven, four-horse stage and express lines, giving daily service to Kansas
City, Leavenworth, Atchison, St. Joseph, Topeka, and Fort Scott. They were always loaded with
persons seeking novelty and wealth. Small steam boats early plied the waters of the Kansas River.
Usually these boats carried whiskey, but not much was unloaded at Lecompton, as a nearbystillkept
the town bountifully supplied.
Most of the steam boats were owned by a company, located at Westport. These boats were
attractively painted and bore names. The fare from Westport to Lecompton was five dollars.
Lecompton possessed a small wharf which had been constructed of large oak planks that extended
from the bank out over the river.
.
In addition to the steam boats, the Indians had small canoes in which they shipped things for the
white settlers. Often an Indian would transport a passenger for five or ten cents, and some~imes for
nothing.
Many stories are told by the old residents, of the struggle by Captain Beasley, to control the traffic
on the ri ver. He took all the freight he could stow on his boat without sinking her, even if he had
. to unload a part of it to get over the sand bars. Once, in coming up the river, his boat ran aground
just above Rising Sun, which was located across the river and to the east of Lecompton. It happened
in July, the river was getting low, and when his steamer ran aground he unloaded 1500 sacks offlour
in a paw-paw patch. He left a deck hand to guard it until his next trip up the river.
At Topeka, several thousand bushels of com were taken on board, to the consternation of the
passengers and the trip started back down stream. At Tecumseh, the com was unloaded to make
room for a com consignment from that place. This was, in tum, dumped out on a bar above Coon
Creek to make room for a lot more at Lecompton. When the boat reached the wharf at Lecompt.on,
the banks were piled high with sacks of com. George Zinn was there with a group of laborers to
load the boat. After it was loaded, it left the wharf, but piled up on a sand bar and had to wait for
a rain to float it.
The first store in Lecompton was opened in a log house, by John K. Sheperdson, in the spring of
1856. He purchased and pursued his business but a short time when he sold it to William K.
Leamer, who purchased a six-room, native lumber house, to which he moved the store. '.
August 8, 1855, Shawnee Mission Legislatlue, located the permanent territorial capital at
Lecompton. The legislature passed a law appointing a commission to select suitable grounds, for the
location and erecting of public buildings for the accommodation ofthe Governor and other executive
offices, and the legislature. The act required the governor to cause a building to be erected out of
appropriations by congress. While waiting for these buildings, the Territorial Governor, desiring to
move to Lecompton from Shawnee, engaged William M. N ace to erect a suitable building inwhich
to hold their sessions, agreeing to pay $1,000 rent, if the building was occupied for 40 days. Mr.
Nace undertook and fulfilled the contract. Subsequently the legislature assembled in a hall across
Elmore Street, east from the Rowena Hotel and known as Rowena Hall. As Lecompton had been
made the territorial capital and the county seat, the legislature was required to convene there, even

6

�•

after the ascendancy of the Free-State party, although it adjourned each time to Lawrence.
In 1855, the territorial government commenced the erection of a capital building in the east part of
town. It was to have been a large stone building and had it been completed would have cost half
million dollars, provided the United States Congress would have continued to appropriate until it
was completed. Fifty thousand dollars were appropriated, and this amount was exhausted when the
basement was completed and the walls to the height of the first story. Work upon it was
discontinued and the structure, as it stood, was used as a fort. Ten acres ofthe town company's land'
had been allotted for this building, and others that would be built to supplement it.
For a place having such a wicked reputation, strangely enough Lecompton had four church
organizations; the Presbyterians organized in 1857 and built a church the following year, the
Southern Methodist organized andbuilt a church of stone in 1857. This building was used as the
first school. In 1858 the Catholics organized and began to erect a church and parsonage, but neither
were completed. Colonel Hoole, in a letter to his mother, told of attending a Methodist Church
service on April 12, 1847, (probably means 1857?) and mentioned that it was the first one he had
heard at Lecompton since the previous July. He wrote that he had to stand during the entir~ service
as there were only enough seats for the ladies.
The first churches were rude structures that contained seats made of planks set upon stones, chunks
of wood, or anything else available. The accouterments were rude, but were lost sight Qf by the
people in the midst of a sermon, as they were eager to participate in any worship service. The United
Brethren Church was started early, the exact date not known. In February, 1855, W. A. Cardwell
was appointed missionary to the Kansas Territory, and his work in the United Brethren Church
included Big Spfings, Tecumseh, and Lecompton. The Lecompton Church was formally organized
in 1858 with five members, of whom W. A. Cardwell was one. Although he was a Free-state man,
he was asked to address the Pro-slavery legislature when in session at Lecompton.
On June 30, 1854, Andrew H. Reeder was confirmed as Kansas Territorial Governor, Daniel
Woodson as Secretary, and Judge Samuel D.LeCompte as Chief Justice. Judge Cato was later.
appointed Associate Justice. it was recommended that Governor Reeder take a prolonged ins'pection
trip through the territory, and then take a census so that there could be a territorial legislature
election, and also elect a delegate to the U. S. Congress. On November 29, the congressional
election was held and a Pro-slavery candidate, Mr. Whitfield, was elected to Congress, the voting
being 2,258 for and 647 against. This indicates the feeling in the State of Kansas at that time.
In February, 1855, a census was completed of the territory indicating there were 8,501 residents;
2,905 voters, 408 people of foreign birth, 151 Negroes. In March, an election was held for the
territorial legislature; to be elected were thirteen members to the Council, and twenty-six members
to the House. This was a definite Pro-slavery victory. In this election, the people of Lecompton
voted in the home of Colonel I. B. Titus, one and one-half mile south of Lecompton. The vote then
was 210 Pro-slavery and 231 Free-state. For being a f1agrantPro~slavery town, this was a peculiar
vote. Douglas, a small settlement about two miles east of Lecompton voted 127 Free-state and no
Pro-slavery votes.
Governor Reeder called the legislature to meet at Pawnee. It was purported that he owned land
. there and was desirous of making it the Capital of Kansas, for selfish financial reasons, The
legislature later convened there on July 2, but over-rode the Governor's veto and moved to Shawnee.
As Governor Reeder could not satisfactorily explain how he had purchased the half-breed' s land at
Pawnee, at the price he had paid, he was removed from Office on July 28 th •
.

a

7

�This legislatu~e then decided to move all the territorial offices to Lecompton and to reconvene there
at the next session. . This legislature also granted authority to establish a bridge and ferry at
Lecompton, incorporated the city of Lecompton, established the Kansas Medical College, and
designated Lecompton as the Capital of the Territory, and comity seat of Douglas County.
The legislature was so eager to prepare a code of laws for the territory, and as their time and
experience was limited, that upon finding several excellent copies of the Missouri Code of Laws at
hand, the clerk offered their passage by page, not topic, after much of it had been tom out of the
original form. Thus was our territorial code of laws passed. This was supposed to contain the most
slave owner laws of any state in the nation.
Among these Slave owner Laws were some that were to harass the Free-state people later. To wit:
"If any person print or circulate any book, or speak about it being wrong to own slaves, he shall be
guilty of treason and the said nuisance abated." These acts became laws on September 1, and the
Kansas Code of Laws consisted of 1,058 pages.
.
In August, Shannon was appointed Governor of the Territory. He prepared to move to Lecompton
and ordered the territorial militia to proceed there. There was, by this time, a sizeable Free-state
community at both Lawrence and Topeka, and they were jockeying for position.
The Free-state element called a Free-state convention to meet at Topeka for the purpose of writing
a Free-state constitution and elect officers. James H. Lane, a rabid Free-state man was leader of
this convention. Lane had been sent to Kansas by Stephen A. Douglas to organize the Democratic
party here. He was supposed to go to Leavenworth, but due to an error of judgement, he ended up
in Lawrence. Upon arriving there, he saw that the Free-state element was the one with the money'
and was on the ascendency to the power, and immediately became a Free-state leader, as he desired
to hold high public office. He probably was the deciding factor in making Kansas free, by the
leading of great hoards of settlers to Kansas, and the shipping in of ammunition and guns.
At the Topeka convention, over which he presided, a constitution was adopted arid Charles
Robinson was elected Governor. This convention was held out-:-doors, and attended by 500 people ..
The delegates were garbed in blue woolen shirts, slouch hats, rough boots, and full unkept beards.
Lane was described as being uncouth, unscrupulous, zealous without conviction, pungent, fiery; and
magnetic.
Although Kansas was not a state,Robinson assumed the duties and privileges of the office of
governor which was usurping power and an act oftreason. A. H. Reeder and James H. Lane were
elected to the U. S. Senate, but they did not attempt to take their seats.
In May, a Grand Jury was called at Lecompton for the purpose of investigating these ,acts. Reeder
was called on to testify and the verdict of this jury was that the. "Herald of Freedom" and "The
Kansas.Free State", two Lawrence Free State newspapers, and the Free State Hotel at Lawrence be
abated as nuisances,and Robinson, Reeder, and other so-called state officers be indicted for treason.
On May 10, 1856, Robinson and his wife were en route for the East, where they planned to solicit
aid for the Free State cause. At Lexington, Missouri, Robirison was taken offthe boat by Pro-slavery
sympathizers. He was taken to Leavenworth where he was kept for several weeks before being
brought to Lecompton on June I, and put in the custody ofU. S. troops at Camp Sackett. He was
later taken to a cabin near Lecompton.
After Robinson's apprehension; Sheriff Jones was sent to Lawrence to destroy the Free State.
Hotel, the two newspapers, and take other men prisoners, who had been indicted by the Grand Jury.
In this he was aided by the territorial militia and the U. S. troops. Colonel Eldridge hadjust finished
8

�•

decorating and furnishing the hotel with expensive furniture from the East. He was ordered to be
ready to leave the building in thirty minutes, after which it was completely destroyed. The two
newspapers' presses were brok~n up and the type thrown into the river. Charles Robinson's house
was pillaged and burned, stores were broken into and sacked. Lawrence was left badly mauled, but
no one was killed or shot. Sheriff Jones of Lecompton delighted in this destruction, as on a
previous trip there in line of duty someone ofthe city of Lawrence, shot him in the back while in a
tent where he was in conference with aU. S. Army officer. He was nearly mortally wounded, but
recovered.
Jones rounded up his prisoners and took them to Lecompton, where the army took charge of them.
Later other prisoners, including John Brown's son were taken to prison there for massacres
committed in other parts of the country.
These men were held until August, when they were tried for treason. The trial was held in a rude
apartment furnished with three tables, two chairs, and six planks resting on wood chunks, stoves,
boxes, etc. Judge Cato, tall, thin, closely shaven, with an overgrown mustache, was the presiding
judge. He read a newspaper during most ofthe trial, giving only an occasional glance at the business
before him .
. Weir, the District Attorney, stout, florid, red whiskered, sat on a table with his feet elevated on the
stove, "the better to spit into it." He charged Robinson with usurpation of office, which he admitted.
The witness swore his being elected governor was just preparatory, and it had never been intended
to put the government in force until it has passed through the proper channels. This was not quite
true. Nearly all the Free-state men had designed to set the Topeka government in motion and
support it by force of arms whenever the Pro-slavery factions drove them to the wall.
'
The judge was overbearing, and violent, but Robinson's counsel, confident and Pro-slavery rule
nearly over, faced him boldly objected to certain jurors, and took exception frequently.
In summing up to the jury, the court charged the jury that if they found Robinson guilty as charged
'
by the Grand Jury, and so of treason.
After two hours absence the jurors reappeared and asked that the case be reopened and one witness
re-examined as they had forgotten his testimony. Judge Cato refused to do so and the jury soon
returned a verdict of "not guilty".
.
.The verdict "not guilty" did not bring the immediate release of the prisoners. There were certain
legal technicalities to be cleared up. James Lane, tiring of waiting for their release, and desirous
of some good publicity, collected a group of a,bout 700 men and marched toward Lecompton with
the idea of releasing the prisoners by force. He placed a cannon on White House Hill and demanded
surrender. The U. S. Army troops (200) i.mmediately forted up in the basement and walls of the
capital building, while the local men deployed themselves in the ravine to the west. The Lecompton
force had two cannons and many men eager to fight, but U. S. Marshall ordered them not t6 fire until
attacked. The Lecompton forces with the army numbered but 400 but they were eager for battle.
Some of them could not be restrained and fired shots, killing several ofthe attackers. The General
persuaded Lane to parley, and upon telling him the treason prisoners were acquitted and would soon
be released, he and his force withdrew. For this valiant attempt, Lane received no thanks from
Robinson. They were bitter enemies, although Robinson seemed to have been the more vitriolic.
In f..ugust 1856, Free-state depredators (sic) in large and small groups scoured the region, raiding
opposition, or so-called Pro-slavery communities, filling the air with profanity, intimidating Pro. slavery settlers, shooting at those not properly docile, and plundering right and left.

9

�-

While the Free-state men were thus occupied, the Pro-slavery element was not entirely idle. While
their depredations did'not match the Free State activities, they were not far behind.
As no forces were allowed to takethe field, due to Governor Geary's executive order, and to the
vigilance of Colonel Sumner at Camp Sackett, both parties established places of rendezvous from
which they could emerge, accomplish their nefarious work and return.
The bases of the Free-state men were the larger cities, as Lawrence and Topeka, while the Proslavery men, denied the use of Lecompton, and having few towns of importance, resorted to isolated
.
log cabins and camps. One of these was Colonel Titus' cabin near Lecompton.
The Free-state settlers had been successful in raiding Franklin, and on their return, trip to Lawrence,
decided to destroy Col. Titus' cabin and burn Lecompton. By some means, word'reached
Lecompton of the approaching raiding p~y and a force of thirteen men, including Franz Walter,
.John Damm, Aloyius Riedmuller, stone masons working at Lecompton, was sent out as
skirmishers, to seek out and delay raiders. The remainder of the Lecompton force was, upon a prearranged signal to come to their aid. Upon meeting 200 Free-state men, the skirmishers were forced
to take refuge in the cabin owned by Colonel Titus; one and one-half miles south of Lecompton. The
Free-staters attacked with a cannon (Old Sacramento) using balls made from salvaged newspaper
type that Sheriff Jones had thrown into the river. The cannon knocked the chinking from the cabin.
The men in the cabin ran out of bullets but still had plenty of powder. As it was feared.they would
be murdered if they surrendered, one man proposed they light the powder and blow themselves up.
He was overruled, and as no help came, they pushed a white rag out the door and started out with
hands upraised. The only casualty occurred when a Free-state man became excited' and shot one of
the men through his upraised hand. Captain Walker, Free-state commander, cursed this man
violently for the shooting, said he, "None but a damned pirate would do that." Although they were
forced to surrender, their mission was accomplished; which was to prevent the burning of
Lecompton. It was later learned that when Lecompton reinforcements heard the cann&lt;;m, they
gathered up the women and children and hurried across the river.
While the Lawrence men were looking for the prisoners and getting them ready to be taken to
Lawrence, someone suggested that the cabin be burned. Just then a man appeared at the edge of the
clearing and he was appro'ached to seek out his business. He stated he was merely a ho~esteader,
but Bill Young, who had heard the commotion and wondered what it was about. They told him that
they were going to burn the cabin and started collecting kindling to start it. Mr. Young, who was
a friend to the young stone masons, saw that he could do nothing to help his friends, so said, "Well,
by God, let's burn it." and proceeded to help get the conflagration started.
Colonel Titus, unknown to the raiders, had quite a sum of money and a number ofland patents,
'
signed to him in blank in his house. They were apparently all lost.
The Lecompton men, not necessarily of Pro-slavery convictions, were taken to a point south of
. Lawrence where Walter and Ridemuller escaped. The others were held a few weeks as hostages
and then traded to Lecompton for some Free-state prisoners that they held.
This small affair was given publicity in all the Eastern newspapers, and gave the impression that
the Titus cabin was a great fort, manned by many Pro-slavery men arid that this one incident had
routed the Pro-slavery forces.
Another incident indicating the type of publicity the Pro-slavery forces received, concerned the
small settlement of Rising Sun, directly across the river from Lecompton. This small town
purportedly contained a saloon where many vile plots were hatched. Here also was supposed to be
10

�the gathering place of horse thieves. As the story goes, these horse thieves perpetrated a raid on a
nearby farm, but they were seen and chased to their place of concealment at Rising Sun, where they
were caught with the horses. It was customary, at that time, to simply string up to a tree, a horse
thief caught with the goods. As there were four of them a stout limb was' located. It was well
braced, and soon four men were stringing by their necks. Two weeks later, a picture of this hanging
was featured in all the Eastern newspapers, with this caption, "This is what happens to all known
Free-staters in Kansas." It helped to arouse the sentiment ofthe Free-state sympathizers and caused.
money to flow into their treasury. Due to the money at their disposal, they swung great weight, and
left much garbled account of Kansas territorial happenings.
There is also the story told ofthree squatters from the areas several miles southwest of Lecompton,
who went to Rising Sun, with the intent of getting drunk. While at their cups, they conceived the
idea of murdering a man who owned land near them. They planned to make a noise at the man's
corral, thus drawing him out doors to see what the commotion was, and shoot him down. George
Zinn overheard them plotting and quickly left the place to go warn the intended victim, a Mr.
Cathers.
.
.
Mr. Cathers, upon hearing the story, bundled up his wife and children and sent them to a neighbor,
then he and Mr. Zinn barricaded the cabin and sat down to wait. Soon they heard a racket at the
corral, but they stayed inside. Finally they saw three men approaching the house. Mr. Cathers calJed
for them to halt. Their answer was to raise their guns and prepare to fire. Mr. Cathers then shot his
gun, and in the ensuing melee, he killed one man, badly wounded another, and the other fled. This
so preyed on Cather's mind that for the rest of his tenure on this place, he was restless, moody, and
unhappy. He was in constant fear of retribution from the man he had not shot.
The years 1856 and 1857 were the peak years of Lecompton. The interchange of money was so
great that the main street was called the "Wall Street of the West". Here was located the land office,
which daily attracted hundreds of pre-empters with their witnesses to prove up their land and to'
attend contested cases. There were the legislative halls, district and federal courts, the Governor's
office, the post office, express office, book and stationery store, drug store, Leamer's store, barber.
shops, printing office, lawyer's office, real estate, and land warrant offices.
Lecompton also had five hotels; the Novelty, Virginia, American, National, and Rowena. The
Rowena, the better known, was most sumptuous. It was a three story stone structure, finished
throughout in walnut, and lavishly furnished. It had mostly speculators and transients as its guest,
but gave unusually fine services to them.
There were, four-horse stage and express lines giving daily service. to Kansas City and
Leavenworth, with more roads serving it than any other town of its size in the state. The population
at this time was numbered more than five thousand.
.
The first physician to locate in Lecompton was Dr. Aristides Rodrique, who was also the first
postmaster at Lecompton. The Post Office was established under the name of Douglas, Kansas
Territory, March 3, 1853. It was placed in the cabin of Andrew McDonald, on November 6, 1855.
it was moved to'Lecompton with Rodrique as postmaster; and his son became postmaster in 1857.
Young Rodrique was something of a practical joker. He, with several others, seeking ~ bit of
amusement at the other fellows expense, conceived the idea of playing a joke on a conscientious
townsman. They circulated the report that the postmaster had a large amount of cash on hand and
that a gang of outlaws were planning to burglarize the post office. After the report had been widely
advertised, they approached their victim with the proposition of his guarding the office, to which he
11

�•

readily agreed. He was given a muzzle-loading shotgun which had been previously loaded with
paper wads, placed him in the lobby and instructed him if anyone attempted to enter the building to
say three times, "Who comes there?" if they didn't answer when he repeated the question the third
time, to shoot. A few hours later, one of the gang slipped to the door and attempted to pick the lock.
The guard followed the instructions, or almost did. He made the demand and fired one shot at the
same instant. Result? The door was almost blasted from its hinges. The panels were all biown out,
and the fellow who rattled the door got the scare of his lifetime. A new door was provided, at the
expense ofthe pranksters, and it was a long time before they told their friend, the guard, of the joke.
This should have cured young Roderique of his inclination to practical joking, but it did not, and
it was to have fatal results. ,
One day young Roderique and a number offriends were amusing themselves by tormenting a town
character about his lady friend. The fellow finally left the crowd, went to Leamer's store where he
bought a dirk knife. He returned immediately to where his tormentors were congregated in frontof
the post office. Roderique began teasing him again. He drew the knife and stabbed Roderique,
causing his death iIi a few hours. A man, aiding Roderique, asked the tailor's son to hurry to his
father's shop for cloths to use as bandages, which he did, but there was no help for Roderique.
The stabber was arrested for his act, but Judge Lecompte, sympathetic with the dull witted
character, let him put up worthless bail, and told him ifhe wouldjoin the U.S. troops that were then
bivouacked near town, he would be allowed to go free. This he did, and was never heard from again. '
In August, 1856, J. W. Geary was appointed temtorial Governor. As he entered Kansa~,he held
hearings along the way to detemiine the extent andtype of trouble between the two factions. As a
result of these, he made Federal troops out of both Free-state and Pro-slavery forces, as soon as he
took over the office at Lecompton; this (thus?) they were all under his control, the saine as all other
army men. This was a master stroke and it did away with many private armies that were committing
the local depredations, as such an act would be treason.
Immediately, there followed a number of arrests for pillaging and shooting. These cases were tri ed.
in the court ofJudge LeCompte, resulting in the damning of his reputation by the Free-state forces,
and his subsequent removal. Colonel E. C. Little, a U.S. Representative for many years and Arth ur
Capper, both personal friends of LeCompte described him as a quiet, inoffensive, polite gentleman.
The New England Aid Society was very active in aiding Kansans at this time. They appropriated
great sums of money and sent great caravans of people to Kansas: Lane, himself, led them from
Iowa, to the Nebraska border and on deep into Kansas. One caravan he was leading, upon hearing
that they were to be met at the Kansas border by U.S. troops and searched, hastily dug holes and
buried their cannon, and hid their guns in sacks of seed .. There were seven women in a group and
each was assigned to a different wagon, to give the impression that this was a family group. This
fooled the army general somewhat, but some of the sabers and guns were found and confiscated.
These were taken to Lecompton and kept stored until Governor Denver was forced to surrender
them to an armed mob led by Colonel Eldridge. These deceitful acts were all right for the Freestaters to perform, but were liscientuous (lascivious?) acts when perpetrated by the Pro-slavery
forces. It seemed that Kansas would go to whomever got there "fastest with the mostest".'
In November, 1856, thirty-nine Free-state prisoners escaped, and Sheriff Jones resigned because
of the poor jailing. conditions. He did not feel that he could fulfill his duties properly. Judge
LeCompte was notIfied that he had been removed, but his appointed successor did not qualify sO'he
remained in office.

�In January, 1857, the county commissioners appointed William T. Shirred as sheriff to succeed
Jones. Shirred was loved and respected by all who knew him. As there was a personal difference
between Shirrard (changed spelling?) and Governor Geary, he refused to issue a: sheriffs
commission. Writs and other documents were placed in Shirrard's hands, but as some of the writs
concerned some of Geary's protegee's, he refused to issue the commission, thus keeping Shirrard .
from executing the writs. After some days Shirrard called on Geary asking why he was refused a
commission, and there was a heated exchange of words. Finally Geary stated that in the absence of
Secretary Woodson, he had not the right to issue such papers.
Shirrard withdrew, determined to wait a few days after Woodson's return, and then again demand
his commission. This he did and took his troubles to the territorial legislature, who called Geary and
his cohorts to the session for an accounting. Geary gave the excuse that Shirrard was a dnll1kard,
brawler, and ilJ fitted to his proposed job. This was a deliberate falsehood, and upon Geary's
withdrawal from the halJ, Was accosted by Shirrard who calJed him a liar and spat upon him. Geary
and his two guards passed by Shirrard as though there had been no incident.
The governor's friends held an open air meeting as soon as it could be arranged to deliberately
slander the fine reputation of Shirrard. There were men from Lawrence, and all the residents of
Geary's official household at the meeting. Hampton had charge of the meeting and after various
harangues, when Shirrard arose to defend himself a Mr. Sheppard arose and cailed him liar.
Where-upon Mr. Shirrard told Sheppard to defend himself. Both drew out pistols and shot.Shirrard
was hit twice, but not mortally, so both threw down their pistols and grappled each other. A Mr.
J ones, a friend of Governor Geary, whipped out his pistol and shot Shirrard in the head as Sheppard
held him. Part of his brain was shot away and he died the next day. Jones was taken into custody,
but was helped to escape, so no one was even punished for this crime. This act so discredited Geary
that his office tenure lasted less than six months, and he accomplished little during that time.
The U.S. Senate refused to confirm Harrison to replace Judge LeCompte, the legislature could
. not work with Geary, so he became frightened. He resigned March 26, and enlisted the aid of some
Free-state prisoners to help him get out of the state. They contacted their friends who offered to help
him escape ifhe would pardon the Free-state prisoners. Geary was in such ahurry, he accepted their
help but neglected to write outthe pardons; He escaped the territory in disguise.
On February 19, 1857, the legislature passed an Act to provide for a census of voters to be taken
by county sheriffs on April 1, the returns to be in by April 10. Upon the basis of this return the
government was to apportion sixty delegates to the convention. The delegates to meet at Lecompton
the first Monday in September. This bilJ was passed over Geary's veto. Each faction was hoping
to write a constitution suitable to Congress, the one accepted would designate whether Kans~s were
to be slave or free.
In March, R. J. Walker was appointed governor of territorial Kansas and F. P. Stanton was
Secretary of the territory. Stanton arrived in Lecompton in April and made a Pro-slavery speech,
but promised to be fair. Governor Walker arrived in May and in an August address clairned that
isothermal lines would indicate where slavery would be. In plain words this meant, the temperature
would confine slavery to the south .
.Slavery in Kansas was something of a joke. Those that were here were here primarily for
propaganda purposes only. In the 1857 census there were only 200 in the entire territory, and by .
1860 there were only two. There were approximately fifty slave holding settlers, who brought their
slaves here at the peak of the strife. Some of the slaves were passing through the "underground

rai lroad".
In 1857, aslave woman, Anne Clarke, owned by George Clarke and Colonel Titus, nin away and
.
sought refuge in Topeka. Her whereabouts was discovered in her flight to Chicago.
A widow Brooks owned three or four household slaves in Lecompton. At Douglas, nearby, Mr.
Ellison and Mr. Willis each owned slaves.
Slavery was successful in those areas only where scanty clothing and little shelter were needed and
an abundant supply offood available. These conditions were not characteristic of Kansas. One old
gentlemen in a nearby community had a very difficult winter with his slaves. After one froze, and
another was permanently crippled due to frostbite, he put his slaves to bed to keep them warm, and
he himself went out to cut wood for them.
Buck Scott, a slave, went to Lawrence with the agreement with his master that he would send him
70% of his wages were he allowed to go there. At the Big Springs hotel there were eleven slaves.
So Kansas was not a successful slave state. She merely leaned toward the thinking of the South.
The South wanted the state to be Pro-slave to gain two Senators in Congress.
The results of the April census showed 9,251 eligible voters. Douglas County had 1,318. In
August when the election for the Lecompton Constitutional Convention was held, there were only
2,071 votes. The Free-state people refused to vote because the Govemor would not correct the legal
voter list to one Free-state man to one Pro-slave man. This of course, was illegal. The April census
was also used for the apportionment of the members of the territorial legislature. There were to be
,
thirteen Senators ahd thirty-nine Representatives. .
The Lecompton Constitutional Convention met at Lecompton on September 7, but adjourned to
meet in October 11. When the delegates started to assemble at Constitutional Hall, they found
several hundred Free-state men gathered around the hall, barring entrance. As the U.S. troops were
no longer stationed there, the delegates stayed away from the convention until the 19 lh , when the
troops came to guard them and keep away 'free-state rabble-rousers'. The U.S. Army established
a camp of several hundred soldiers and some brass field pieces. This discouraged further
interruptions from the Free-state hordes~
. By November, the convention had completed its work. It has a complete section providing for
slavery, and also allowed four sections ofland for the schools, and a percentage of all the returns of
all salt mines, mineral springs, and mines in the State. It also provided for a liberal university grant.
These were the outstandingly good features of the constitution, which were fought by the people
desiring personal gains. •
On November 12, a political convention was held to nominate officers and serve under the
Lecompton Constitution. Frank J. Marshall was nominated for Governor; William G. Matheas,
Lieutenant Governor; W. T. Spicely, Secretary of State; Blake Little, Auditor; J. B. Cramer,
Treasurer; and J. P. Carr, Congressman.
The Constitution was presented tq the people on December 21, and they could vote for the
constitution with slavery, or for it without slavery. The sulking Free-state people refused to vote.
The vote was 6,226 for the Constitution with slavery, and 569 without. This document with the
certifica~e of election was sent to the President to be given to Congress for their approval. This,
President Buchanan did in February, Congress discussed it, but due to some Free-state pressure,
it was recommerided that it be sent back to Lecompton to be resubmitted to the people. Meanwhile,
a congressional investigation committee was appointed tobe sent to the Kansas Territory, to go into
reported election frauds. The outstanding, so-called, fraud was the Delaware Crossing returns.· J.
14

�•

D. Henderson, was one of the first witnesses called. He finally admitted adding 336 names to the
legal voter list. The election returns that had been given to Survey General Calhoun had been
placed for convenience sake in a candle box. MacLean was Calhoun's chief clerk and was the
custodian. Calhoun had gone to Missouri. MacLean was summoned to appear before the Senate
committee and bring the election returns. He appeared, but stated he had sent the returns to Calhoun
in Missouri. He then hastily returned to Lecompton, and hid them, as he supposed securely, in an
adjacent wood-pile, at midnight. Charles Torry, taken to be only a stupid janitor of the office at'
the time, from whom it was not necessary to conceal anything, observed the movement at the woodpile and sent word to Colonel Walker, of Lawrence.
Early the next day, Walker called MacLean with a search warrant. "They are not here," said
MacLean, "I have sent them to Calhoun. You are welcome to search."
"Of course, they are not here, but 1 know where to find them," replied Walker, as he left the office
with his posse and moved confidently toward the wood-pile.
When MacLean saw Walker's movement toward the wood-pile, he hastily left the office, procured
a mule and s~t off across the prairie for Missouri.
,'
'
The candle box was carried to Lawrence, where it proportedly (purportedly?) yielded up the
fraudulent election returns. On the strength of this, the committee recommended a new election.
The results of this election was a rejection of the constitution by a vote of 11,300 to 1,788. Where
the extra votes came from was not questioned. Thus the Lecompton Constitution died for all time,
on August 2, 1858.
In December, 1857, the territorial legislature again met at Lecompton. They received a message
from President Buchanan endorsing the Lecompton Constitution. On December 17, Secretary
Stanton was replaced by Secretary Denver, and on the same day Governor Walker resigned,
leaving Secretary Denver as acting territorial governor.
Early in 1857, word had reached the Pawnee land office at Lecompton, of bushels of gold nuggets
in streams at the foot of the Rocky Mountains. The people of Lecompton assembled and decided,
to send an organization there to form a town site and occupy the ground. An organization was
perfected and money provided for this project. A train was made up of five wagons, twenty-five
men provisioned for six months, seventeen were mounted, and there were eight wagon drivers. They
arrived at the present site of Denver, laid out claims and attempted to name the place. They could
not agree on a name, and so they decided to wait until they got back. They started for home in
December; a few days before arriving here, they came upon many wild turkeys, a buck deer, and a
buffalo calf. They decided to give a wild game supper to celebrate their return so provisioned
themselves bountifully. At the supper, Governor Denver was the outstanding guest, and as everyone
loved the kindly old man, it was unanimously decided to name the new town, Denver.
In January, 1859" the legislature convened at Lecompton, but was immediately adjourned to
Lawrence, as the Free-state members wished to boycott the Lecompton hotel accommodations. This
legislature provided for the Wyandotte Constitutional Convention,which wrote the constitution
which was accepted by the territory November 1, 1859.
Each succeeding year, until 1861, the territorial legislature met at Lecompton and adjourned to
Lawrence. The Governor preferred for economy ofthe time and money, that the legislature remain
at Lecompton. The U.S. Congress had provided money for living accommodations at Lecompton,
and as there was not much business at hand, it could be quickly concluded. There had been a nice
hotel completed that winter, and the legislators could be more comfortably cared for at Lecompton
15

�than elsewhere. The Free-state Legislators, however, were a vindictive lot and determined to get the
legislators into Lawrence and pay for their lodging out of their pockets. This, they did, and
continued to do so long as Kansas was a territory.
State businesses were drained away from Lecompton, houses moved, buildings tom down, and the
town gradually became smaller and smaller, until it reached a population of 400. With a promoter,
such as Robinson was for Lawrence, very likely much of the business could have been held here.
The people seemed to prefer a quiet, rural existence and so did not fight to retain these businesses.
They did keep a rich historical background.
The Kansas conflict was a "tempest in a teapoC It really involved few of the settlers and was
more of a contest for power between few aggressive leaders, than a general embroilment.. Money
and ink won; the Wyandotte Constitution was adopted and Kansas became the thirty-fourth state,
January 29, 1861.

�APPENDIX
The streets of Lecompton bear historic names. The principal thoroughfare, that was to be
leading from the steamboat landing by the easiest grade to the Capital and CourtHouse was named
Shannon Avenue, for the Governor; the main interseGting street was named for Secretary Woodson;
the one that became, in after years; the principal street was named Elmore for the U.S. District Judge;
A. J. Isaacs, and John A. Halderman, U. S. Attorneys have streets named after them; there isa Boone'
street, but there is no street or avenue named for Roderique as there should have been acc9rding to
early settlers.
The ruins of Fort Titus, built in 1851, named for Captain Titus, are found on the Dale Glenn farnl.
located about one and one-quarter miles west. The fort was constructed of oak logs and measured
about twelve by nine feet. The fori was intended to serve as a protection against the fury ·of some
200 Free-state men who looked to Captain Henry J. Shombre and Colonel Sam Walker as their
leaders.
,
The battle of "Fort Titus" occurred August 16, 1856; Sam Walker and his command took twenty
prisoners, Titus among the number and burned the "fort". The next day Governor Shqnnon, who has
returned to Lawrence, accompanied by Dr. Rodrique and Major Sedgwick, liberated all the prisoners
confined here. While there, he received the news of his removal as governor, and of Geary's
appointment. Governor Geary arrived here on September 10, and the day following issued his
inaugural address.
Captain Titus, Pro-slavery leader, was the only person in the fort on the night it was attacked by
the Free-state agitators. Some fled by means of boats, across the Kansas River.
At one time, the most noted and expensive residence in Kansas was the home of Governor
Frederick P. Stanton, built in 1857. It wa,s located three miles east of Lecompton, Kansas:'
The mansion was constructed of native stone, exhumed on the site where the housesto&lt;;&gt;d, and
finished inside with walnut, which was brought from Pennsylvania, and erected in days when the.
territorial capitol was located in Lecompton, before the designation of Topeka as the capital city
dealt a death blow to Lecompton's hope of becoming the center of the State's political activities.
The house was two stories high in addition to a spacious basement which was placed a little below
the level of the ground. It had a hip roof. The building contained altogether, nineteen rooms, eleven
of which had large stone fireplaces. The basement contained seven rooms, one of which had no
windows and was probably intended to serve for ajail for the household slaves. The first floor and
(had?) four large rooms in addition to one spacious hallway which extended the length ofthe house.
Also on this floor was a large library. The second floor had been divided into eight rooms; six of
which had fireplaces.
Frederick P. Stanton arrived in Lecompton on April 15, 1857. Since Governor R. T. Walker had
not yet arrived in the territory, Mr. Stanton became the acting governor. According to some; Mr.
Stanton shared the Democratic prejudices against the Free-statepeople, although later on ofthe most
ardent champions of the Free-staters which he joined after he had been disowned by the Pre,sident
and his party .
. On May 27, Governor Walker arrived and assumed the duties of the State. The Governor verified
the administrative policy outlined by Stanton, and assured the Free-staters of protection in the
. coming elections. The fulfillment of the pledge constituted a turning point in Kansas affairs, thus
enabling the Free-state men to triumph in spite ofthe election frauds perpetrated by the Pro-slavery
17

�men. Even with a pistol at his breast, Stanton is said to have refused to certify voters cast at Oxford,
which he knew to be fraudulent.
The outcome of affairs was disastrous to Walker and Stanton so far as their affiliation with
President Buchanan and the Democratic party in Kansas were concerned. Governor Walker departed
for Washington to appeal to President Lincoln; whereupon Governor Stanton again became acting
governor. Walker did not return. Stanton was soon removed and was succeeded by 1. W. Denver.
Weary of the petty strife, Stanton withdrew to the mansion, east of town and resided there}ire years
and invited guests there during that time.
In 1862, Mr. and Mrs. Stanton, with their two daughters, Alice and Virginia, moved to Virginia,
where Mr. Stanton resumed the practice of law. Later the family moved to Florida where Mr.
Stanton died in 1894, at the age ofeighty.
Where once his beautiful mansion stood, there remains only thebasement and parts of crumbling
walls. When the broad roof still sheltered this home, one could reach through a hatchway and on
a clear day see the smoke .stacks of Lawrence, to the east and the Kansas State House.in ~opeka, to
the west.
May of 1903 was a chilly, rainy month. There were only a few days on which actual sun shine was
present. The rest were marked by almost continual rainfall. It rained not only in Kansas but also
in Oklahoma and Nebraska. The tributaries of the Kaw had been filled to a great depth. These
swollen streams were, for the most part, responsible for the flood.
Word reached Lecompton, Kansas, in the early part of May that the West had been havirg many·
rains and cloudbursts, but little the people of Lecompton thought that such conditions would in any
way affect them. Papers stated that the Smoky Hill and the Solomon Rivers were out of their banks
but still no flood dread was here.
Near the sixteenth of May, people began to notice the rise of the water, but as this had happened
before, no heed was given it. A short distance from Lecompton, an old Kaw Indian, squaw had once
lived. She had foretold the coming of the flood and also had declared that her tribe had witnessed
a flood before that had exterided from bluffto bluff. Her tribe believed that every sixty years, a flood
might be expected.
On the night of May 24 th , the people inhabiting the "Kaw" bottoms were placed in a· terrible
situation. The "Kaw" in over-flowing from the south had completely surrounded them and had for
the time, at least, turned their valley into a miniature island. The citizens of Lecompton heroically
volunteered their services in an attempt to rescue these who were thus cutoff from the main land.
"Uncle" lake Hill, one of the rural mail carriers of this time, relates that he made his customary
rounds with the mail but that the only mail he picked up on the 'route was a post card.
On the 24th of May, the water was so high that the trains ceased passing through Lecompton. The
mail they carried was hauled by livery truck from Topeka.
Realizing the dangerous position that Lecompton was in, some of its citizens thought of a plan
whereby, if conditions grew still worse, they might still have enough food for everyone. The plan
proposed that each family should be allowed a definite amount of sugar, flour, coffee, and other
. necessities. The plan was a wise one and it worked successfully.
Rain seemed the lot. For a time, it rained both day and night until the people feared that it was
going to be a flood similar to the one experienced by Noah. It has often been recalled that the
number of days it rained in 1903 nearly equaled that of Noah's time. Thirty days of rain in
succession was recorded in Lecompton, and in places the river was five miles wide.

Post Office Curiosities
The ordinary run of mortals are not acquainted with the mysteries
and curiosities of the internal machinery of a post office, and it is well
. for them that they are not; as thereby considerable worry and confusion
is escaped. A brief interview with themailingclerk.this morning, at the
Lawrence post office revealed a condition of things that will be of
interest. There are now about fifty lett~rs in the post office here that are
vainly asking a destination. These letters have accumulated within the
past two or three days though the accumulation usually averages only
about fifty a week. Running through, the list, the following are a few of
the directions, leaving out most of the names of the persons to whom the
letters are directed: Cedar rabits, Kansas; Holon Berg, Kansas; Mr.
William Mge Kansas Stewart Osa qunmo (the letter, when deciphered,
reads Mr. William M. Stewart, Quenemo, Osage county, Kansas);
Mendon, Whitehall Co., Kansas; Begg Rock Co., Kan Gill (Big Rock, '
Kane county, TIl.); Eaxville Co. Post Office, Cansas; Onelcreek, Kansas;
Yemenien Sehswick Co. (Germani a, Sedgwick Co.); Couper, Westen
Co.; Secretary ofDekovin Lodge 85-577 Hog and H.M. Dekoven; Bone

�DOUGLAS COUNTY GENEALOGICAL LmRARY, OSMA ROOM
The Board of the DCGS has reviewed our collection of books in the Osma Room in the
Lawrence Public Library. Many of the''how-to" books are out-of-date, while other resource
books were donated by persons with specific interests in other areas of the country. They are
good books but are not likely to be used and take up space that is needed for more appropriate
locally focused materials. This is a preliminary step in transferring the DCGS books to the
Library, which will enable the Library to catalog the volumes. The "retained titles" will then
show up in the online catalog. The books that are being removed, have been made available for
purchase to the Society's members and the general public. The Society voted to do this transfer
last year.
The collection will then concentrate on Lawrence, Douglas County, Kansas, the surrounding
states and the general migration states.
We will then be considering discontinuing the number of exchanges of quarterlies that we do
with other societies. There are several reasons for this; cost of printing and mailing, space for
storage, lack of use and need for volunteer time in filing the quarterlies. We will only eliminate
exchanges that are indexed in PERSI. PERSI in an index of genealogy publications maintained
by Allen County Library in Indiana. This index is available through Heritage Quest through the
Lawrence Public Library, free with you Library card, The articles can be obtained from Allen
County for a small cost. (See list of possible titles that will be discontinued elsewhere in the
Pioneer.)
We will continue to have the books on individual family histories in the Library and will retain
the ones that are there now. In addition we will be expanding that part of the collection in the
future.
The Society had a successful sale of the titles mentioned during July. The titles remaining will be
offered at the Book Sale of the Lawrence Public Library this fall.
We welcome comments.
Editor.burchill@ku.edu

FROM THE PRESIDENT
The Society has made some exciting decisions. We are in the process of turning over the
Society's books that are in the Osma Room to the Lawrence ~blic Lib.rary. There is an ru:ticle
explaining this later in this issue of the Pioneer. The same artlcl~ exp~ams what w~ are domg
with exchange quarterlies. Our energies will now be put on famtly history collecting for the
Osma Room. We welcome any suggestions about any aspect of the Society and always welcome
help with projects.
The small but dedicated group who keeps the Society running is very much appreciated. Thank
you all very much. Mary Burchill

Map ofan exploring expedition to the Rocky Mountains in the 1842 and to Oregon &amp; north California in the years
1843-44, by John Charles Fremont, published in 1845.

A Fresh Look at the Lecompton Historical
Society's Gieseman Map
Collection
..
Raymond Gieseman was born a few miles downriver
While many of us have been delighted at their
.

from Lecompton in Williamstown, a small burg for
even this part of rural Kansas. He enjoyed a
distinguished career as an educator; economist, statistician for the u.s. Labor Department in Washington,
D.C., historian and collector of all manner of papers
and artifacts regarding Kansas Territorial history. He
lived in a large apartment on Washington, D.C. 's
Massachusetts A venue, which often is described as
Embassy Row. And indeed, Gieseman's apartment
was filled with so much Kansas Territory and
Lecompton historical data and memorabilia that it was
known as "the Lecompton Embassy."
On one of his many trips to Lecompton, he told our
president, Paul Bahnmaier, that he would sit in his
high school classroom and look across the Kansas
River toward Lecompton. "He told me that even back
when he was in school he was fascinated by
Lecompton's history," Paul recalls. "He was a great
friend to our society."
When Mr. Gieseman died in 1988, he bequeathed
many books of historical importruice and Congressional
papers of the 1850s to the Lecompton Historical
Society. He also gave the Society 72 maps, many
dating to and before the establishment ofthe Territory
of Kansas in 1854.
2

strange and changing county boundaries, the handcolored borders and the early dates on them, from
1802 onward, the Society has never determined just
what to do with the treasures that the maps are nor,
significantly, how to make them more accessible to
visitors.
It's a process, an ongoing effort to learn about the
import and significance of Mr. Gieseman's gift.
So enter Barbara McCorkle, one of the growing
number of educators and professionals returning to
Douglas County after distinguished careers. We were
introduced to her by Justice Fred Six, the distinguished
jurist who is fast becoming one of Douglas County's
leading historians. In a classic understatement, Justice
Six said, "She worked with maps at Yale University."
Indeed. Barbara McCorkle was the map ,curator at
the Yale University Library from 1979 to 1993.
Earlier, she had been married to KU's Professor
Oswald Backus. During her Kansas years she was
associate librarian at the Spencer Research Library,
from 1968 to 1874.
President Paul and our Museum Administrator,
Vicki Leochner, joined in welcoming the former Yale
librarian. Mrs. McCorkle, attired in a KU Endacott
Society of Retirees cardigan,·was delighted to see

,

�KansaslNebraska map on the wall. She said, "Oh my!
That's such a lovely one. That's a beautiful job of
framing, especially with its leather carrying case."
The book-sized red leather jacket is mounted just
below the 30-inch by 40-inch map, and together with
the map, it makes a wonderful presentation.
It's one of about a half dozen that Mr. Gieseman had
framed before donating them. "He certainly knew
how to take care of his collection and how to frame
them beautifully," she says.
We look at map after map, some by J.H. Colton of
New York, others by 1. Disturnell or S.A. Mitchell. It
gives you a chill to see the original work of famous
explorers like Brevet Capt. John Fremont in 1842 and
1843 on his way to New Mexico and Capt. Zebulon
Pike of Pike's Peak fame.
Then Paul pulls out a roll-down, window-shade-like
wall map. It's big, maybe five-feet square-a fourcolor map of the United States published in 1855, just
a year after the enactment of Kansas Territory by
Congress. Barbara goes to her hands and knees and
the rest of us follow. "I love the vignettes on these
maps. Look at the detail on those ships," she says.
They are remarkable. The miniature line drawings
of ships are about the size of a silver dollar and have
been placed randomly on the seven seas. They depict
ships of the period, from side-mounted paddlewheel
steamers to the graceful Clipper ships, barkentines
land sailing yachts. The map and its featutes all are
bordered by an intricate design unique to the map.
This particular map, a Gaston &amp; Johnson of Nassau
St., New York City, especially enchants her. "I saw a
similar period map like this, it wasn't in as fme
condition, on the Antiques' Roadshow imd it was
estimated to be valued at $25,000."
"There are different theories about how to exhibit
and protect these wall maps," she says. "One, you can
hang it up and it'll have some strain. Or you can leave
it rolled up or placed open in a map case. All have
their problems. I think I'd do a really fine job of
hanging this one. It's in exceptional condition and
should stay that way."

The LHS maps, she adds, are a "treasme trove. Mr.
Gieseman clearly was a serious collector who left the
Society maps worth mega bucks. Many of them are
worth four and five figures."
She particularly likes the Gunn maps of the Kansas
·gold fields. Mike Kelly, Wichita State University
Curator of Special Collections; agrees with her that
they are exceptional. "Those maps are highly prized
these days," he says. "The Lecompton Historical
Society's collection is one you would not expect
except in a major university or museum."
All of the maps are stored in mylar folders. Kelly
and McCorkle say the LHS should consider scanning
the maps for digital display and encapsulating them in
sealed mylar. That of course is not in tM LHS budget.
As more historical information is added to the
Lecompton Kansas.com Internet site and as more
people interested in Kansas history come to the site,
it's clear much of the Gieseman collection should be
made accessible that way. The next project will be
completing grant requests for the funds to update the
LHS storage facilities and, perhaps, to better exhibit
them. But as the Yale librarian concludes, "You've
done a good job protecting and preserving them .
. That's what is most important."

This relationship chart can help you
determine your relationship to the
persons whose names you submit for
temple work. When submitting names
on a family group record, your
relationship to either the husband or
wife must be a relationship from this
chart (or an extension of this chart)not a step odn-Iaw relationship.

KEY TO USING THE
RELA TIONSHIP CHART
I. To determine the relationship of the

brothers (or sisters) of direct ancestors,
follow the horizontal linj: from the
direct ancestor.

EXAMPLES:
a. The brother of your 6 g g father is
is your 6 g g uncle. Your relationship
to him is shown in parentheses
immediately below the uncle relationship - in :this case 6 g g nephew.
b. The sister of your 6 g g father is
your 6 g gaunt.
2. To determine your relationship to

71

the children of the brothers (and sisters)
of your direct ancestors, follow the
vertical line down from the uncle (or
aunt) relationship.

EXAMPLE:
a. The son of your 4 g g uncle is your
Ic5r.
b. The grandson of your g g uncle is
your 2clr.

�THE FAMILY TREE
Legal degrees of kinship

Lines indicate the paths of direct descendancy. Numbers in the circles indicate the degree
of kindred to the principle. Full cous~ are in heavy black circles. Cousins to the left are
"cousins.in the ascendanCy." Cousins to the right are "cousins in descendency."

�PARTIAL INDEXES TO 1885 CENSUS
The alphabetical list of residents starting on page 24 in the 1886 City Directory for
Lawrence can be used to determine the Ward in which a resid.ent lived, thus eliminating the
need to search all six Wards. Most of the adUlt males and some females are listed in the
directory, so it can be a great time-saver for census searches. By using th.e address listed in the
directory, and the information about streets and Wards below, the searcher can learn which
Ward to search in the census.
Although the 1886 City Directory doesn't list residents outside Lawrence, the 1890-91
directory does. Starting on page 230, the "Directory of the Farmers and Land Owners of Douglas
County, Kansas"shows the name of the Township inwhich-each fatIil is located. Thus, for the
farm families who didn't move across Township lines between 1885 and 1890, the census user
can narrow the search from nine Townships to only one.

�TEN YEARS OF BALDWIN LEDGER PUBLICATION-1894
FROM: The Baldwin Ledger. 5 Jan. 1894, page 2

The Baldwin Ledger is ten years old. It is a combination of two papers the Criterion and the
Visitor. The Criterion was owned by John Brady and 1. L. Brady, the Visitor by 1. W. Lee &amp; Co.
The Bradys bought out the Visitor and then 1. L. Bristow purchased the entire outfit and changed the
name to Ledger.
.
.
Ten years have made great changes in Baldwin and we are glad to say that they have all been for
ihe advancemeni of ihe iown.
Some people will not advertise and so we cannot tell whether our list of the business mOen olthat
time is complete or not. From an issue of that date we learn that the following were in business here:
Dugger Bros., grocers; Bodwell &amp; Galbreath, general merchandise; J. D. Smith, hardware; 1. G.
Schnebly, Druggist; A. W. Smith, Blacksmith; S. W. Tyron, painter and decorator; M. I. Crosby,
hardware; R. W. Bailey, boots and shoes; D. Chaney, grocer; Jones Bros., livery and feed stable; A.
A. B. Cavaness, books and stationary; W. Bristow, furniture and undertaking; W. A. Hyde; jeweler;
L. B . .Keifer, dry goods; S. J. Humbert, millinery and dressmaking; W. D. Martin, physician; Geo.
S. Dow, physician; Bodwell &amp; Stuart, meat market; F. Thompson, physician; J. M. Starr, barber.
Of this list of good business men but six are now in business here. Then we had two groceries, now
we have four very large ones. Then we had one meat market and it would often close in the summer
time, now we have three. Then we had one book store, not very large, for it had just been started,
and before that time what books there were had been kept in a general store, now we have t\vo good
book stores which carry as large a stock as can be found in any town in the state ten times as large.
Then the furniture store was upstairs now it 'is down where it can be seen. Then we had one drug
store, now we have three. And so it was all along the line ofthe business part ofthe town. But just
think of it, ten years ago Baldwin had no bank. The business men carried their money home every
night in a sock, and often when they had several hundred dollars to look after, they did not sleep very
comfortably. Now we have a bank which has stood the severe test of the past summer and today is
as sound as any bank in the country. Who would think of getting along without a bank now?
It would take too long an article to show the difference in the buildings of the town. It is safe to
say, however, that not one half of the business houses which we now have were built at that time.
The residences have increased almost without number. Their name is Legion. At that time there was
but one house between Eighth street and the depot, which was then located in Media. And there was
no sidewalk to the depot then, either. From some streets the people would "cut across lots:' to get
to a store.
Probably the greatest reason for this great increase in the improvements Of the town is the growth
of the University., There a,re about twice as many students as there were ten years ago and the
number of the members of the faculty has about doubled. Centenary Hall was not built then and old
Stone Hall was all we had. Football was hardly heard of at all in the west, but during the last week,
the Denver, Kansas City, St. Louis, Chicago and New York dailies have sung the praises of the
Baker Univer~ity football team and Harper's Weekly has given space to speak of our school and
'town.'
' .
,

'

I

During this time, while men have been improving the town in buildings, nature has aided them
also. There is probably no town in Kansas that is as beautifully shaded as Baldwin. The University
has by far the most beautiful campus of any school in this part of the west. The streets have been
greatly improved by grading and greater pride than ever is taken by the citizens in keeping up the
lawns and terraces.
,
But with all these great improvements there is' yet room for greater advancement. And this we

103

�intend to do in the next ten years. If the number of students has doubled in the past ten years, why
cannot it double in the next ten years? If the business houses and residences here greatly increase
in the years gone by, why should they not increase also in the years to come. We cannot afford to
have things come to a standstill and we will not allow them to either. We look for nothing but
, brighter days. We rejoice in the past. We are also Very hopeful for the future.

MORE HISTORY
The Baldwin Ledger, 29 Dec. 1893
The following letter from W.e. Bridwell is quite interesting considering the fact ofthe discussion
concerning the history of the newspapers of Baldwin being so prominent now in a certain circle.
Dodd City, Ark., Dec,25, 1893
EDITOR- LEDGER: Seeing that there is some controversy in regard to the history ofthenewspapers of
Baldwin, I beg leave to submit my testimony. Having worked for every firm that has controlled the paper
since the beginning, except the present publishers, I deem myself a competent witness.
The Baldwin Criterion was started in November, 1883, by L. A Sheward, who continued its public,ation
until April 1885. A Mr. Fish, his father-in-law, was associated with him part of the time, although he was
never in Baldwin but once. The Baldwin ,Visitor was issued first in the spring of 1884, by 1. W. Lee &amp; sons,
the firm consisting of J. W., Henry, and Clint Lee. When it first appeared it was printed on the job press now
in the Ledger office, but it was afterwards enlarged and C. K. Jones became interested in the concern.
In April, I think it was, 1885, the Criterioh was purchased by Brady &amp; Bristow, the firm consisting of John
Brady, Jr., and J. L. Bristow. Soon afterward the firm purchased the Visitor also, and the two were
consolidated.
As for the name (Ledger), it Was the joint work of Wm. Bristow and John Brady. J. L. Brady and J. L.
Bristow first named the paper calling it the Baldwin Messenger, but when J. Leeford saw the name in cold
type it did not suit him. The result was a disagreement which was finally adjusted by leaving the christening
to the above named. I was the first person to put the name in type.
Soon afterward the Bradys sold out their interest to Bristow and J. L. Brady took part of the material from
both offices to Jetmore. The oldjob press and paper cutter are to be found today in the office of the Jetmore
Siftings, as is some of the other material. Bristow continued the publication for over a year and then sold
out to Scott &amp; Co., the company being Miss Mary Scott. W. H. Finch next secured the paper and in tum sold
it to Moorhead &amp; Son, from whom the present company bought it.
Hoping that my mite will be acceptable and that the Ledger may enjoy a decade of prosperity, I remain
yours truly,
W. C. Bridwell.

-----------A LETTER FROM EDITOR BRADY
The Baldwin Ledger, 5 Jan. 1894
EDITOR- LEDGER
Mr. Bridwell's very interesting letter, regarding the early newspaper history of Baldwin, is not quite
complete, but through no fault of his, of course. The name Messinger was selected by Dr. W. R. Davis. This
was the name of the first paper ever published in Baldwin, or rather I believe Dr. Davis said it was published
in Prairie City. It was the preceeding generation, commonly known as sires, also objected to the name
Messenger and therefore they agreed upon the present very pretty name Baldwin Ledger. Permit to say here
that in all my newspaper experience I have never been in a town where I liked so nearly everybody as that
good old town of Baldwin, where the men are comrades and the sisters good motherly souls.
With Great Respect,
J. L. Brady.'

�OLD SETTLER'S REUNION AT BALDWIN
The Baldwin Ledger, 5 Oct. 1923
Residents of Kansas 40 Years or More are Eligible to Annual Reunion To Be Held at M. E.
Church This Year
Forty years with the Kansas Sunflower - entitles you to attend the annual old settlers gathering
which is held each year in Baldwin on the second Tuesday of October which falls on October 9 this
year. The reunion, an annual affair, is a big drawing card for the Jayhawkers. Last year there were
nearlY a hundred present. This year if weather is nice, even a larger number is expected.
Not much of a program is planned except to have one of those present to give a few reminiscent
remarks. Rev. C. W. Bailey has been given this assignment this year and he promises no longwinded oration. A short program of music and readings will also compose the program for the day.
All are asked to come with well-filled baskets. Have your wife load that basket down with oldfashioned food and meet your Kansas brother at the church about noon. J. C. Patterson, long time
president of the settlers association, says that he always has a better appetite on that day than on any
other so he believes everyone should prepare bountifully.
There'll be no flappers at the meeting and no fashion models but it is safe to say that those present
will have a far better time than would.be a gathering of society belles at the Priests of Pallas Show
at Kansas City.
"Times do change" but Kansans always. Peep in about noon next Tuesday and see if you wouldn't
enjoy listening to the tales of pioneers days of Kansas.
Residents of Kansas forty years - may the number increase!

REUNION OF SETTLERS BRINGS BACK MEMORIES
Hardships of Early Kansas Days Once More Reviewed Among Jovial Folk in Sixteenth Annual
Gathering.
The Baldwin Ledger, 12 Oct. 1923 [The transcriber has taken the liberty of rearranging the names
list into alphabetical order to enhance readers ability to find relatives.]
They were true Kansas sunflowers who bobbed up and down on the streets Tuesday. They were as
bright and sunny as a sunflower altho they had budded into bloom years ago - all more than forty
years ago and tho some were drooping under years oftoil, yet they were happy to again review with
their friends the hardships of Kansas which has made the lingering days such a happy memory.
From near noon until dusk they told of the early days and never a silent moment.
It is said that there were 13 5 seated for the noon-day feast - the largest gathering of its kind in the
history of the old settlers organization. Jollity reigned supreme amidst the tunnoil of chattering
voices aIld except for a short program prepared before hand the reunion was mostly a real oldfashioned informal affair.
Rev. C. W. Bailey, one ofthe jolly youngsters of Kansas, gave an enthusiastic reminiscent speech,
followed by an indeed inspiring talk from the much-loved person, former president of Baker, S. S.
Weatherby. Hon. E. Comielley, secretary of the Kansas Historical Society, read a very inter~sting
paper on old Kansas days and the memories that will ever remain. John Kramer, now a Texan, was
present. he was in these parts but could not resist the temptation to partake of a little chicken and
to enjoy the friendships of early days.

Dodge City, goes back to 1847, when Fort Mann was established at the Cimarron Crossing on
.
.
the Santa Fe trail a few miles west of the present Fort Dodge.
Col. Gilpin's volunteers were garrisoned at Fon Mann to protect the Santa Fe Trail
traffic from Indian attacks. His recommendation for several adobe posts along the course of the
Trail were well received by the War Department which led to the establishment of Fort Dodge
at the close of the Civil War, according to David K. Strate, whose "Sentinel to the Cimarron"
defines the "frontier experience of Fort Dodge, Kansas."
The importance of posts such as Fort Dodge in ensuring peaceful passage along the trail
and eventual settling of the area and establishment of cities, such as Dodge City, has never been
adequately recognized. Intensity of Indian assaults along th.e routes had resulted in suspension
of mail service and lost travel by 1864.
.
Major General Grenville Dodge was placed in command of the 11th and 16 th Kansas
Cavalry Regiments and began work duringthe harsh winter of 1865, to repair telegraph lines
and reopen travel routes. The Indians usually refrained from combat in winter months.
The new post was ordered built on March 17, 1865, between two fordable crossings,
the mulberry 17 miles to the east, and the Cimarron 22 l11jles to the west. The post rested in a
narrow pasture off the river bank, overlooked by a limestone bluff to the north. TIlls bluff
extended into open plain where ravines proved handy to Indians approaching the Fort, usually
to steal horses and livestock.
lnitial fortifications were crude earth dugouts excavated along the north bank of the
Arkansas. Many men first stationed there were Confederates who preferred a fight with the,
Indians to languishing - perhaps dying - in northern prisons.
The soldiers had no lumber or hardware, so they had to use the available materials, .
grass and earth, to create the 70 sod dugouts. These were lOx 12 feet in circumference and'
seven feet deep. A doorta the south fuced the river and a hole in the roof admitted air and light.
Banks of earth were bunks for the soddies that slept from two to four men. Sanitation was poor
and spring rains flooded the dugouts.
Pneumonia, dysentery, diarrhea, and malaria were common that first year in the isolated
fort. The General decided the soldiers named the dismal fort "Dodge" in its unpromising start
to get even with him for bringing them there. The War Department made it official.
First shipments oflumber arrived in the summer of 1866 and the officer's quarters and
a temporary hospital were erected, still sod with wooden bunks. Supply houses and a horse
corral were the first pennanent buildings of lumber. A field oven was the first piece of army·
equipment that improved the soldiers' lot at the post. A Sutler's Store was built and
immediately the Sutler took advantage of the soldiers' pay in their pockets. When they began
quarrying stone dive to twelve to the North, desertion became an acute problem. It was a
choice between hard work with the stone or facing the Indians.
A 43,000 acre military reservation was established. A cemetery and guardhouse were'
built, along with a supply store for destitute civilians off the barren plains, and sometimes
'
victims of Indian raids. During the next two years, permanent fucilities built of limestone were
erected, including two barracks, a hospital, quartermaster buildings, and a headquarters building
and commanding officer's quarters. Several of these buildings still stand and are in use today,

/07

�including the coIllIIlimding officer's quarters, now the residence of the Superintendent of the
Soldiers' Home.
Both civilians and soldiers quarried the stone, utilizing 60 teamsters and 200 mules to
,
U. George A. liesselberger directed the construction. He demonStrated a taste for
durability andsubtIe beanty th~ is still ~~P2!eu!. in those bnilnings th~ lLre' still in use at the '
Fort.
Stones uSed were of varying length, but wereClit to'18 inChes in height and two foot
thicimess. Each barracks held 50 men and was equipped with a kt"LChc:;u, mess rooIIl, and a 2 nd
dormitory. Latrines were erected behind the bairaoo. The hoSpital had a ward room, adequate
, for the sick of four companies, as well as an admin.ist:ration section and kitchen.
,The Commanding Officer's quarters was the only two story structure on the post. The
bottom floor had admin.ist:rative rooms where the Commanding Officer could host fellow
officers or hold court martials. The second floor, P!Ovided with rifle ports, was for family ,use.
There were blacksmith shops to keep horses shod and sixty wagons in repair:, 'Two 'large corrals,
,of sod for the quart..erma..c:ter an cavalry with four feet thick walls kept the Indians from raiding
the supply of mounts and also protected horses arid herds from the severe winters of those first
Negro troops that made up a large part of the population of the post after the Civil War '
were segregated and were housed in a 20 x 40 foot structure; part of which served as storage.
They were also segregated at the hospital in a small separate frame structure. All buildings
were placed in a circle facing inward to form parade grounds.
Skilled craftsmen made from $85 to $199 a month, and unskilled laboreers made $35,
however, there was always a shortage of men and materials. Lumber and hardware were
delivered from ea$m Kansas or Santa Fe,-NM., where a thousand feet of board could be
delivered for only $30.
Many problems encountered during the construction vvere localin origin, including
frequent Indian attacks on the Fort, and shortages of supply wagons, and work details. Few
workers could be enticed to work at hard, dirty labor for $35 a month, with the possibility of a
scalping thrown in.
The men at the Fort received criticism from headquarters for their seeming lack of
control of the Indians. General Marcy came out to investigate and his wagon train was attacked
enroute. Once there, he sent back a critiCal report of the newly erected buildings, saying,
"quarters are so magnificent and smoothly dressed that they appeared to be designed for the
National CapitaL" The director of the building, Lt. Hesselberger, was singled out for criticism.,
His feat was rewarded with a court martial and his name on the dedication stone was covered
over with a buffillo robe during subsequent ceremonies.
A barracks used once for cholera victims was converted toa recreation room. The
chaplain, Major White, complained that the spiritual and cu1turallife of the men was neglected,
while their less noble interests were catered to. As a result, chUrch services were held in the
building on Sunday, although the chaplain complained frequently of having to conduct his
worship rites from a pool table.
,
Life was hard on the plains, and desertions were frequent. Dr. Tremaine, the post
SurgeOn, was an advocate of better treatment and reduction ofuimecessaryhardships for the ,.
troopers.
In addition to providing protection for commercial trade routes, Fort Dodge also
provided safeguards for frontier communities, including Dodge City. This included protection
from thieves, cattle rustlers, and bank robbers, as well as the Indians.

to?

�i

The Fort distributed food and water to civilians during the severe winter of 1874, just
two years after the establishment of Dodge City. It also contributed a colwnn to the Dodge City
newspaper on military and social activities at the post.
The Sutler's store was a very popular spot on the reservation. Whiskey could be served
from 6:30 to 9:00 p.m. each evening, with three drinks allowed per man. However, it appeared
the count was not aiways accurate , since drunkenness was a COlWHon
offense. The g-ua:rd house,
.
an 18 x 28 foot structure, was always full, eVen though reserved for the worst offenders.
Fort Dodge's cemeterv held the bodies of many of Dodge City~s early day residents, as
well as L~ose 0 th~ post inhabitants: One of these is Edward M;sterson, broL~er of Bat~ who
was buried after being shot by a drunken gunfighter. The saying then was "The rich are buried
at the Fort and the cowhands. and poor ~e buried on Boot Hill and gone to hell."
k; civilizat1c)ll advanced, the Indians found no sanctuary from the white man's army.
General William T. Sherman, a typical ~xample oft.~e military mind set then, \~laS sur~ that all
attempts at civilization of the Indian was ridicul~us~ Ext~rmiri.ation or reduction of their sta"tUs
to that of paupers with complete dependence on the govemlUent was his idea for their fate.
Many Easterners were shocked at the treatment ofthe·lndian. The men on the frontier had
reason to complain of the Easterners lack of comprehension of the savagery of the Indian. .
with the coming of the railroad to Dodge City in 1872, and the threat of extinction of
the buffalo, the Indian s conducted a final outburst of violence in an attempt to preserve their
livelihood. At that time, buffalo hides were selling for $3.50 each and plenty of hunters were
on the scene to benefit from that price. By 11:03, most of the buffalo had been annihilated; even
to the south of the Arkansas River where the Medicine' Lodge supposedly protected the buffalo
and lndian" rights In 1874, the Anny renewed engagements against the Indians; for asserting
. their rights by forays to the north of the Arkansas River. General Nelson Miles kept up these
attacks until the spirit of the Plains lndians was broken, and their wild and independent culture
had virtually disappeared.
Between 1870 and 1875, more new buildings went up at Fort Dodge. Teo sets of
officer and family quarters were erected, as well as buildings for civilian employees. A new'
guardhouse replaced the old, overcrowded original structure. A grainery for storing one million
pounds of grain was also erected. Between 1874 and 1882, military life on the post was fuirly
stable. Most excitement came out of Dodge City where. trail herds waited to be sold. .
Longhorns strayed onto the reservation, sometimes tearing down laundry and threatening
soldiers and their families.
In 1878, there were 100,000 cattle driven to dodge City. Poor relations ex.isted between
the cowboys and the soldiers. A uniformed man could not enter town without being harassed
by a cowman, often aided by a local lawman. The drinking establishments often took
advantage of the soldiers.
At one time in 1877 Col. William Lewis took a detachment and marched on the city
The town judge hoisted a white flag and arbitration ensued. Dodge City's famed "Peace
Commission" was formed soon after this incident with the help of Col. Richard Dodge, who
was furious when his personal servant, a young black, was shot and left to die in the street. The
Commission had on its roster such famed names as Wyatt Earp, Luke Short, Charlie Barrett:,
and Bat Masterson.
The last of the Indian scares was an attempted migration by the Cheyennes under Dull Knife,
from EI Reno, Oklahoma to their former home in South Dakota. During the Indian's march
through Kansas, several dozen settler's were killed. Although several lndians were brought
back to Topeka for trial, with Ford County Attorney Michael Sutton as prosecuting attorney,

/01

�the natives were acquitted for lack of evidence..
In December 1880, some of Fort Dodge's reserved lands were opened to homesteaders.
The first 75 homesteads were claimed by Dodge City residents that included gamblers, saloon
keepers, prostitutes, and a few actual homesteaders. In 1889, the rest of the area was opened,
creating a real land rush.
On AprilS, 1882, the Fort was abandoned by the U.S. Army. The last of the troops
marched southward to Camp Supply when the flag was lowered on October 2, 1882. Fort
Dodge, guardian of the cOlmTIercia.l frVUt,;t;l, the cattleman and .hom~l.6ader, had fulfilled i+...s
pwpose.
For the next eight years the land and Fort were managed by a Department of Interior
custodian. One of these Dodge city entrepreneur Robert Wright, managed to exploit the
fucilities by housing drovers who awaited the sale of their cattle, and bypurcl1asing land
surrounding the Fort with money he earned selling ~skey and buffalo hides. In January 1890,
fort DOdge was deeded to the State of Dansas for' use as a Soldiers Home.
Old troopers began arriving. Most of them were Civil War veterans, Others were
veterans of the Mexican and Indian Wars, many of whom had served With great honor in the
Army. Records show these early residents did not always retire peacefully. Many were
dismissed from the Soldiers' Home for quarrelsomeness drunkenness, and the like. Even
croquet had to be abandoned as a form of recreation when the mallets prved to be too handy a
weapon to settle quarrels among the oldsters.
Eventually, dependents and relatives of Kansas veterans were admitted along with
Confederate and Negro veterans.
The Kansas Soldiers Home now includes a library, an modem intensive nursing home,
a recreation center, five residence halls, and60rottages. Names of the streetS and buildings .
honor great American Presidents and military heroes~ including Eisenhower, Nimitz, Sheridari,
Garfield, Custer, Lincoln, Dewey, and Wait. Veterans of the Mexican, Civil, Indian, SpanishAmencan, Philippines, Boxer rebellion, World War I and n, Korean, and Vietnam Wars have
all been· occupants.
The peaceful park, quiet, shaded tree-lined walks, and dignified buildings, both old and
new seem a fur cry from the dugouts and forsaken soldiers barely existing on the Arkansas
River bank in 1865.

Commanding at the time of completion of the "Custer House" was Maj. Hemy Douglas, who
nd
commanded from December 1866 until November 1867. He commanded a 2 time from
February to November 1868. It has been reported that he did not occupy the Custer House during
his first co nun and. If so, then the first commander to occupy the quarters would have been Capt.
Williarri Thompson, 7 th Cavalry Regiment, part of Custer's conunand. Capt. Thompson, was
sometimes referred to as ~'OldCaptain Thompson" as hewas 54 years old in 1867, and a former
Iowa Congressman.
Satanta, War Chief of the Kiowa, at one time entered the Custer House, went up the stairs to the
Commander's Quarters when no one was at home, and drank a bottle of port he found. He later
went next doors to another set of Officer's Quarters and was found there after consuming a bot1le
of whiskey. He was taken to the stables to sober him up. There he found.a whiskey bottle which
contained horse medicine, drank it, got v·iolently ill, and rode out furious because he thought the
white soldiers were trying to poison him. His group killed several woodcutters and settlers during
their trip away from the Fort.
Most of the antique furniture in the Custer House belongs to the house. It is not the original
furniture, but furniture that was brought in after Fort Dodge became the Kansas Soldiers Home.
Some of it dates back to the Fort Dodge period however.
.
Guests at the house during the days of Fort Dodge include Brevet Major General George
Annstrqng Custer, General Tecumseh Sherman, General Phillip Sheridan: and Brevet Brigidier
General Alfred Sully.

�REMINISCENCES OF OLD UNION SCHOOL
DISTRICT 34, DOUGLAS COUNTY KANSAS
by Frank Horrell
(copied 2007 by Richard Wellman)
as printed in the Baldwin Ledger, 26 Nov. 1964

•

The following article was sent to the Ledger
office by Frank Hurrell. In the write-up he
recalls early schools days at the Union School
which was located west of Baldwin jet. Mr.
Horrell started to the school in 1883.
When Douglas County was divided into
districts it was done largely according to
population and future expectations. Old Union
was largely an open prairie with few creeks and
timber. The first school house was built of logs
and operated till about 1880, when the present
building was put up, and the old one used for a
shelter for coal and kindling to start fires.
Seats were made of logs, split and smoothed
off, set up on short sticks for legs. Black boards
were simply walls painted black. White chalk
was used to write questions, problems, programs
and songs.
Coal was hauled from north of Ottawa a few
miles where a few coal mines were located.
With the chimney at the west end of the house
and the stove near the east end it took a long line
of stove pipe to get the smoke out and when the
pipe fell down it was a mess - with small
children mixed with soot.
No schools were graded then and five years
was the starting age and children quit when they
had to go to work. Big boys started after the
com was shucked and quit when spring work
began.
At first there was no well, so the teacher sent
two small boys to a ravine where a well was
always full of water. One winter day when they
got to the well, one boy threw the bucket onto
the ice and when it bounced off he said, "I'm
going skating". The ice broke and he went down
till his arms stuck the wall.
My first teacher was Laura Geiger, who lived
east of Willow Springs and drove a horse and

cart to school. The boys always took care ofthe

horse. Other teachers were Lutitia

BO\Vlllan,

Laura Anderson, Jim Baldwin, Gina Pleasant,
Addie Haas, Gertrude Bell, Helen Ingle,
William Horrell and Frank Horrell.
The school house was a place for all kinds of
meetings - preachings, literaries, spelling
contests, political meetings. One night a man
was lighting a lamp at the edge of a window
. when it spilled and caught fire. He thre.w it out
through the glass.
At recess and noon the pupils had all kinds of
games - baseball, town ball, black man, racing,
jumping, wrestling, boxing-hats. School closed
at 4 0' clock and the students walked home,
some as far as two miles. For punishment a
child had to stay seated at recess or noon or
sometimes a switch was the means of
punishment. Once the teacher used a switch to
punish a big boy, she got in one stoke, he
grabbed the stick and broke it up. She said, "go
Home". He went up the hill south a few rods,
then spent the rest of the time yelling, jumping
and doing hand springs till school was qut.
The school board for many years were John
Horrell,Doc Sutton and Isaac Flory.
Families to attend Union and their children are
listed by Mr. Horrell as follows:

Haas - August, Dan, Sophia, Bertha,
Ingle - Rose, Ed, Grant, Helen
Flory - Cassius, Virgil, Harvey, Ed, James
Gilges - Dudley, Fremont, Florence, Daisy,
Lenora
Sutton - Oliver, Frank, John, Jim, Lenna, Kate
Horrell - William, Frank, Isaac, Fred, John,
Maude, Clara
Hyland - Edward, Anna, Nellie
Schwartz - Henry, Charley, Rose, Carrie

Mo!ding of Kansas civilization MS nQ superior thinks Judge C. A. Smart of .
lawrence who spoke at the annual meeting of the old settlers of Palmyra
township Tuesday. Makers of history, believers in a nation, determined men
and women they were who made progress in the face of grave dangers.
Continuing Mr. Smart said: "After the war what was In that Kansas needed?
First, Kansas needed men. And they came from among those who knew the
hardships of battle and who had slept under the stars for four y~rs.
Kansas needed men who understood self-restraint. The Need was amply
fulfilled. Then she needed courageous and intelligent men. And what did
they do? Kansas hiStory speaks for itself."
"And that same determination is still with us for there are many moral
issues at stake. But the world is getting better not worse."
Mr. Smart dosed his remarks with a fitting tribute to the pioneer mother
who endured the utmost. he made reference to the markers in the several
states which had recently erected the monuments to their memory.
Named for His Beloved State.
. .
J. Kansas Morgan of Vinland, born in Kansas in 1858, Kansas bred, whose
given name is Kansas, prefaced his remarks by saying that he was determined
to die in Kansas.
Then he spoke of the significance of the state in national history.
"Kansas was born in a time of history" Mr. Morgan said, "The people saw the
possibilities of a state that were to challenge the country to high
achievement. The pioneers came and explored. The first settlers followed
with one purpose, to make a homestead of the free."
The program was in charge of J. C. Patterson, jovial toasbnaster. Mrs.
H. K. Ebright first read a serious poem dedicated to Kansas. Then she gave
two humorous readings.
Dr.C. E. Holman favored the gathering with two solos which were well
received.
Roll called for Absent oneS.
Mrs. Patterson as historian read an aa:ount of the death of members during
the last year. They were: J. H. Gander, sara Cutter, Mrs. J. B. Todd, Rovla
M. Oark, Mrs. jennie Wiley, William Walton, Isabelle Mitchell, Olas. Bailey

and Ed. Beeks.
She said that records showed the association has held regular meetings for
27 years.
A set of resolutions adopted contained a vote of thanks to the women who
assisted in serving the noon luncheon and to the church for the use of the
basement rooms, to the orchestra for the music, directed by Dr. H. Z. Moore.
W. J. Russell was extended thanks for his untiring efforts to complete the
marking of old soldiers graves, many of whom had been members of the
association.
It was voted to investigate and see what could be done to improve records
of graves at the old cemetery, east of Baldwin and restore the lots. C. E.
Beeks, AI Andrews and S. Haigh were named to look into the matter.
Mrs. Martha Price, who lies ill in bed sent greetings and the membership
sent her a surprise basket of goodies. Others who could not come also were
not forgotten.
J. C. Patterson, C. E. Beeks and Mrs. J. C. Patterson were reelected
officers of the association.

Many have read stories about cleaning old.cemeteries and the discovery of
grave markers buried under years of grass and weeds. Even today, with
years of experience, thin, vertical grave markers are set in small
strips of wet
concrete, in the hope that the marker will stay upright until the check
clears,
and they soon fall. .
In many of the more 'modern' cemeteries, plot owners are only allowed to
install ground-level markers, so that the mowing equipment can pass over
them.
The soil/sod soon covers them.
As Memorial Day nears, may I again remind you of a tip I shared at previous
Memorial Days - leave a note at family burial plots, so that unknown
cousins
might learn of your interest in the family line - and perhaps contact you.
And I would again remind you when visiting cemeteries, to take a small metal
probe, perhaps a 12 inch screw driver, to probe for markers that have been
buried by years of neglect and weeds. Just as the brick walkway, at older
homes disappear under the sod if not kept clean, low or fallen markers will
disappear under the sod if not kept cleared. Probe CAREFULLY, we don't
want to deface the marker. This weeks RootsWeb Review had a story of
a lady in England who couldn't find her grandmothers marker, even though she
'knew' where it was, found it as she dug a few inches Into the earth to
plant
some flowers. I am convinced that with a little probing, many 'lost'
markers
would be found .

�"How Do I Keep All This Stuff Straight?"

by
Billie Stone Fogarty
Sooner or later every genealogist reaches the point when the stuff of genealogy - papers,
books, heirlooms, letters, photocopies - becomes overwhelming. How do you find anything in
that mountain of material and where do you store it? Many books and articles have been written·
on the subject of organizing your genealogical records and any will give good guidance to taming
your paper mess. No filing system is without flaws, but your motto should be "files not piles" if you
expect to be successful. in your genealogy research. Organized research can save you time and
money and can help guide you to the next step in your quest for family information.

Whether you work on your genealogy at the
dining room table, in a spare bedroom, or in your office you will need to have a place to spread out
and compare your findings. A place where your current project can be left unbothered is
especially helpful as you sometimes need to walk away for a while and return with a fresh way to
look at your findings. Find a location and take it over - you will eventually need the room for your
stuff!
If your genealogy now fits in a file folder or briefcase - GREAT! It is not too late to get
organized. Anything more and you may already be doomed! Seriously, take the time to select a
filing system and use it faithfully, even if it is not the perfect system. Several researchers have
found the color-coded system called FamilyRoots Organizer to be useful. It can be found online
at www.123genealogy.comIorganizer. One of the best books on organizing your research is
Sharon DeBartolo Carmack's Organizing Your Family History Search (Cincinnati: Betterway
Books, 1999). ·It includes many forms that are designed to help organize your research. The
following is a plan for organizing your research that is simple and straight forward. Adapt the plan
to your own personality and needs.

A Simple Plan to Organize Genealogical Records
First decide your purpose, whether you will use a computer, where you will work, where

I~O

•

•

�you will store the items you collect, whether you will use files or binders or a combination of the
two, and whether to use color or not. This organization plan assumes that your genealogy forms
are generated by a computer based genealogy program because it is faster, neater and easier to
make updates and changes. It also assumes that you will use both loose files for your working
projects and binders for longer term storage and to prevent shuffling or loss of loose papers both
at home and away.

•

it does not matter whether you use COiOf Of fiOt.· Some like to USe coior to help them
differentiate the family lines (four different colors for each of the 4 grandparents' lines) or side·of
the family (one color for father or husband and another color for mother or wife). Some prefer to
identify each surname with a particular color or select a different color for each type of file (one
color for the family files, another for county or state files and another for correspondence files,
etc). Some just like to use color because it is pretty - the choice is yours. If using color helps you
organize then use it.

Second gather your equipment, forms and supplies. Equipment will include: a .
computer and genealogy software program, a file cabinet or portable file boxes, file folders, .
hanging file folders, 3-ring binders, a travel.binder for research trips; Fonns that are useful are:
Pedigree charts, Family Group Records, Research Log, Correspondence Log, Census Abstra¢
Forms, Compiled Census History Form, Individual Timeline, and other forms that you find helpful.
Supplies to assemble include: Pencils and pens, 8 %" x 11" spiral note paper With perforated'
edge or loose leaf notepaper or Note Forms, Sheet Protectors (Archival safe, acid free, won't lift
print), Index dividers, Travel pack (with pencils, hand pencil sharpener or ever sharp penCils,
paper clips, coin holder, red or blue pencil, straight edge, magnifying glass).
Third set up your filing (organizing) system. This one is baSed on your pedigree chart,
and begins by entering all known information into your computer genealogy database (or enter the
information onto Pedigree Charts and Family Group Records if not using a computer). Be sure to
enter the sources for each and every statement of fact that you enter. (Consult Evidence! by
Elizabeth Shown Mills for the proper citation format for each type of source.)
Print out all of the Pedigree Charts. Use the pedigree chart to set up your files and your
numbering system, if you choose to use one. Label file folders (or index divider tabs in your
binders) with each Surname from your pedigree charts in the order they appear on the pedigree
charts. Your Ancestry or Pedigree Chart has numbers (actually called Ahnentafel numbers - see
the next page for more about these numbers). Each surname file (or binder) will contain all
couples with that surname starting from the most recent, followed by that husband's parents and
so forth back in time. Sheet protectors are useful, especially if using binders because you do not
have to punch holes.'

..
•

Each surname file or binder should contain: 1) a Pedigree chart with that ancestral line .
underlined (or highlighted), 2) a Family Group Record for each family unit with that surname
arranged from most recent to most distant, 3) an individual timeline for each husband and wife, 4)
an individual Research Checklist for husband and wife, and 5) documents that support the link '
from one gene.rati~n to th~ next. Include all items that pertain to that family unit from the time they
became a family, I.e. mamage record forward. Some find it convenient to include within a family
unit file all items from the husband's and wife's birth on, although most experts recommend
placing birth and pre-marriage information with the parents' family unit file. Arrange supporting
documents chronologically and be sure to place those documents in sheet protectors.
Some choose to keep supporting source documents together in a file separate from the
Surname file, such as all census records together in a Census file. That is a matter of individual '
preferen~, depending on how many different locations you want to search for one person's
Information. Regardless, be sure that you keep original, one-of-a-kind documents in a place that
is archival, fire, flood, moisture and heat safe.
At the end of the Sumame file or binder should be a section for miscellaneous items that'
do not .go ex?lusively with a particular family unit. Non-lineal members of the family unit may be
kept With their parents, but should have their own folder when they form their own family unit

I J..I

�You will also need non-surname files for: 1) locality, 2) correspondence, 3) research
logs, 4) general, and others that you may identify as useful, such as genealogy techniques.
Locality files can be for a specific state sutHjivided by county. Be sure to include maps, a county
timeline, and the history and general infonnation about a locale. You can also include infonnation
about research facilities in a particular state and county. Correspondence files can be arranged
alphabetically by surname and should include your letter and the response clipped together.
Fourth, it is useful to schedule your genealogy time includi.ngwhen to organize and file,
when to research, when to process the data collected on the research day. Discipline yourself to
always review the data collected and enter the infonnation onto family group sheets and pedigree
charts as soon after the research as possible;
Fifth, always carefully plan your research outings. Decide what family line you want to
find and what infonnation you need. Write out your plan - it helps you think organizationally!
Pack what you need - your travel pack and binder, a copy of your pedigree charts and family .
group records for the family line you will research, lots of Sheet protectors for the good stuff you
are going to find, coins for the copy machines (or money for the copy cards). While researching,
use the Research Log to write down everything you search including those yielding nothing. Be
sure to immediately write a full source citation on the photocopy while you are there~lnclude the
facility, city, today's date and call number used by that facility as well as the Surname covered by
. the article. Many find it useful to copy the title page of the book or periodical and place most of .
this infonnation on that page. Place the photocopy in a sheet protector and place. it in your binder.
.
Sixth, process what you have gathered as soon as possible. Re-read the infonnation to
glean all the details and enter each item of infonnation into the computer genealogy database.
Remember that each document may have material pertaining to several different individuals. File
each document in the appropriate surname file. When several surnames are involved, you may
either make a copy of the document for each file or place a memo to the file (on 8 Yz x 11 paper)
adviSing where the document is filed. Print out revised Family Group Sheets and Pedigree Charts
and reevaluate what you know and what you suspect about the family and make plans for the next
outing.
Seventh, protect the time, effort and expense that you have expended. Regularly
backup your computer infonnation. Store a second or third copy at another location. Give a copy
to a relative or friend. (Make a genealogy buddy to exchange disks for storage, preferably one·
who will remind you to backup your records.) Also, make paper copies of your infonnation and
store a copy offsite to ensure against calamity. Share your research with others. Donate a copy
to some library or repository. Store your own materials in a place that is as safe as possible.
DeSignate a torch carrier to preserve your work and continue the search. Share with them now.

Numbering Systems for
Organizing Genealogy Records
By ancestry
Sosa-Stradonitz or Ahnentafel System (Named for the 17th century Spanish genealogist Jerome
de Sosa who first used it and for Stephen Kekule von Stradonitz who popularized it in his 1896
Ahnentafel Atlas. Ahnentafel is the Gennan word meaning ancestor table, interchangeable with
pedigree, a French word meaning, literally, "the foot of the gooseD which resembles the branches
of a family tree)
.
1 .Each individual in a lineage has a unique number.
2 The individual's father has a number that is doubled and the mother's number is double
plus 1.
.
3 All males (except the one in position #1) have even numbers and all females have odd
numbers.
4 It is easy to tell the closeness to the starting person by the size of the number.

2 If a person's descendants are not known or not given, that person is not aSSigned a

3 The system is widely used and accepted.
4 Spouses receive no numbers, only bloodline:
5 Further research may lead to new knowledge' about descendants. The entire list would
have to be renumbered to accommodate this event.
Modified Register or Record System (First adapted by the New York Biographical and
Genealogical Record, this is the system adopted by the National Genealogical Society Quarterly.)
1 Each person is given a number (an Arabic numeral) and a lower case Roman numeral to
indicate birth order within a family.
2 If the child is to be repeated as an adult, there is a + sign beside their name.
3 Only the bloodline descendants receive a number.

Documenting Your Sources
Just because you have written the name and birth date of your ancestor on a piece of
paper does not make it true. Every single item of information you gather must have a source.
Names, dates and places are good, but without the evidence to support what you have written
your carefully prepared Family Group Records and Family Histories are just words. Likewise, the
appearance of a name or other item of information appearing in a book or database. does not
mean it is true. Every item of information or statement of relationship must be documented.
Elizabeth Shown Mills, in her book Evidence! Citation &amp; Analysis for the Family Historian
(Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Company, 1997), page 18, lists these:

Any statement of fact that is not common knowledge must carry its own individual
statement of source.
Source notes have two purposes: to record the specific location of each piece of date and
to record details that affect the use or evaluation of that data.
Sources are tracked in two basic ways: by generic lists (bibliographies) and by source
notes keyed to specific facts .
.Source notes have two basic formats: full citations and short citations.
Source notes for narrative accounts can be presented in four ways: footnotes, endnotes,
.
parenthetical Citations, and hypertext.
Source notes keyed to narrative text should be numbered consecutively; the
corresponding numbers should appear in correct sequence within the text.
Explicit source notes should also appear on ancestor charts and family group sheets.
Full citations should be affixed to the front side of every photocopied document and
should appear on every page of a research report.
We should not cite sourceswe have not used; it is both risky and unethical to "borrow
notes· from other writers.
Even a full citation of source may not be SUffiCient, legally or ethically, when copying from
another work.
.
Microforms and electronic materials need extra treatment.
.
Clear citations require attention to many details.
Cititin g a source is not an end to itself; our real goal is the have the best possible source to

Photocopy the material. -occasionally a repository will not allow photocopying but will
allow photographing without a flashbulb.
Transcribe the material- a word for word copy of an entire document or record.
Extract the material - a word for word copy of a pertinent portion or portions of a
document or record.
Abstract the material - a summary of the pertinent information contained in a
document.

You should document that evidence by these actions: .

Make clear on your research notes whether material has been photocopied,
transcribed, eXtraCted or abstraaed~
Enclose in quotation marks any extracted material.
Include your name, the date and place you obtained the material, and a complete
identification of the source of the material on every item that is copied, transcribed,
extracted and abstracted.
Identify fully the source of materials obtained from family memorabilia, personal
interviews, family tradition or personal knowledge.
Record your research notes on full sheets of 8 W by 11" paper and place them in
your binders or file folders. Do not record important genealogical information on bits
and scraps of paper.
Copy all facts, including names of different spelling, exactly as they appear in the
record.
Copy too much material rather than too little.
When quoting portions of material, use 3 dots (ellipses) to indicate omitted
information within a quoted sentence and 4 dots to indicate omission of the last part
of a sentence.
When transcribing material that is partially unreadable, use blanks for the illegible
words or letters.

Citation Fonnats
References to sources (citations) take two forms - footnote (or endnotes) and
bibliography. A bibliography is an alphabetical listing of all the sources consulted for the research
project usually at the end of the work. Footnotes give complete citation for a particular statement,
including page number or other specific citation, and are placed at the bottom of the page where
the statement is given. Endnotes are in the same format as footnotes, but are placed aU together
at the end of the report in the order they appeared in the text. The footnote format is preferred in
genealogical reports because it is more specifiC. A bibliography is sometimes used in addition to
the footnotes to list sources that are not quoted or cited specifically.
Citations should include these elements, where applicable: author, compiler, editor,
owner, supplier, title, name of periodical, issue, edition, volume number, publisher, place of
publication, date of publication, page, column, deSCriptive title. Titles of books, periodicals a~d
newspapers are italicized or underlined; articles in periodicals and newspapers are enclosed In
quotation marks.

Dear Shelley;

In January of this year, we received a packet containing five old-time photographs with
Kansas connections from you. I don't think we ever acknowledged receipt of this
thoughtful gift and I want to apologize before I begin to thank you. I am so sorry to have
taken so long.
Kansas Council of Genealogical Societies is an umbrella organization of genealogical

cannot care for these wonderful photos.

�DCGS exchange policy change.

The Douglas County Genealogical Society has been reworking out
exchange policy and program. As of September 1 we are not'
exchanging with a number of Societies. This is because of lack of
volunteers to keep the quarterlies filed and the cost of printing 'so
many copies of the Pioneer. The quarterlies that we will be keeping
on file are: Kansas Review (Kansas Council of Genealogical
Societies), Yesteryears (Jefferson County Genealogical Society),
Genealogist (Johnson County Genealogical Society),Topeka
Genealogical Society Quarterly, and Jackson County Genealogical
Society. We are still sending the Pioneer to all subscribers which
include: Cincinnati Public Library, Wisconsin State Historical '
Society, Allen County Public Library, LDS Family History Library
in Lawrence, Genealogical Society of Utah in Salt Lake.
"

All of the quarterlies that we will not be receiving are indexed in
PERSI, which is available online through the Lawrence Public
Library, so that you can search for information through that index.

We are in the process of eliminating the quarterlies that are in the
Library now. As of September 1,2008 all our books in the Library
belong to the Lawrence Public Library. As a result they will be '
cataloged and will be searchable through the online catalog. We
will be contacting members about titles that the Library is not
keeping. For more information please call 843-9199.

�PROGRAMS
On September 27, a Saturday, we will be meeting at the Watkins
Museum at lOam. Helen Krische, Archivist, will show us and talk
about the items that the Museum has that would be of use to
genealogists. All are welcome.
Other programs being planned for the year are:
Haskell Indian Nations University- tour of the Library and Cultural
Center.
Clinton Historical Society Museum
Sons of the Confederate and Sons of the American Revolution
Eudora Historical Society.
If there are other programs you would like to see please let us mow.

�DOCUMENTATION
PRIMARY··' ,::.. ~
An event recorded at or near the time it
occurred by some one present or who had first had
'information about the event. MUST HAVE BOTH.

SECONDARY; ,
All other information on an individual or event.
We gather as many primary documents as
possible. To prove an event without primary
documentation, try to get two or more secondary
source documents in which different individuals
give the information. For example a death
certificate is primary for date, place and cause of
death but secondary for parentage and birthdates.
The same individual probably gave the information
for birth in an obit and a tombstone inscription.
DOCUMENTING BIRTH
Primary
1. birth certificate
2. delayed birth certificates (available in all states)

�SUMMARY OF RESEARCH STEPS FOR
THE 1790-1870 CENSUS SCHEDULES

There is no Soundex index for the 1790-1870 censuses. The indexes are in book form. Each book
covers one state for one census year. REMEMBER, INDEXES ARE NOT AVAILABLE FOR ALL
STATES IN ALL YEARS.
STEP 1: CHECK THE LIST OF INDEX BOOKS
p

. ' :' ~,'

a.

b.

The list of index books is posted on the end of the bookcase. The list is arranged
alphabetically by state name and thereunder by year. Check the list for the index book
you need.
The index books are in the four bookcases in the research
room. They are filed
alphabetically by state. Retrieve the needed book and read the introduction if you are
not familiar with the earlier censuses.

STEP 2: FIND THE SURNAME YOU ARE RESEARCHING
a.

b

The books list the last names of household heads in alphabetical order for the entire
state. Spouses and children are not listed. Check the list for the name you are
researching.
.When you find right name, copy down the county, page number, and town that follow.
A typical entry will be similar to the one below.
Wadleigh, Eliphalet ESSE 369 SALISBUR
In this case, the name is followed by a four letter abbreviation for the county name
(ESSE means Essex county), then by the page number in that county on which the name
appears, and last by the name of the town, township, or ward (example: SALISBUR
means Salisbury town).

STEP 3: LOCATE THE CENSUS ROLL
a.

b.

With the information obtained from the previous step, go to a copy of The 1790-1890
Census catalog on the table in the reading room. The catalog lists counties and the roll
numbers on which they appear for each census year (for example, 1790,1900,1810,etc.).
Go to the pages that list your census year and locate the correct state. The counties are
usually, but not always listed in alphabetical order. Find your countY and copy down the
roll number to the left of the county name.
Proceed to microfilm 1 thru 11 and, with the roll
number in hand, locate the correct
well marked with a census year and roll number label.
roll. Each drawer is

STEP 4: FIND THE RIGHT PAGE
a.
b

Put the film on a microfilm reader.
Roll through the film to reach the correct county and then roll through the county to the
page number listed in the index. Census pages often have more than one set of numbers
so you may have to follow two or three series of page numbers to locate the correct one.

If no index was ever produced for a particular census, you should try to find the precise location
of your ancestor's residence before beginning your census search .

5:
GUIDELINES FOR MAKING PHOTOCOPIES

,.

The "VOLUNTEER ON DUTY" has been trained to provide patrons with
the best microfilm/fiche copy possible. Instructions are provided
to expedite the photocopying process as follow:
1.

When patron finds something they want copied, roll the
microfilm back on its original reel.

2.

Patron should complete this form with as much information
as possible so the volunteer can locate page(s) to be
copied without assistance.
Then they can make copies
when not busy helping others and you can utilize your
time doing further research.
(For "first-time" patrons,
ask the "volunteer" for help if you need it.)

3.

Place the box of film and the photocopy request form, on
the left side of the copy center counter.
(A basket is
provided for this purpose.)

4.

Complete a CHARGE SHEET with your name and address and
place with microfilm to be copied on first request only.
(Charge sheets are near the "copy basket".)

5.

When copying is completed, the volunteer will place
photocopies on shelves behind counter along with charge
sheet and mark charge sheet with number of copies and
charge. Charges may be added to charge sheet throughout
the day.

6.

The film will be placed on the right of the counter for
the patron to refile at their earliest convenience.

7.

Volunteer will give charge sheet and photocopies to
patron when they are ready to leave. Patron will pay for
copies at front desk and receive a receipt.

8.

NO photocopies will be made after 3:30
be paid for by 3:45 p.m.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE, THE VOLUNTEERS WORK VERY HARD TO
ASSIST IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE, BUT PLEASE FEEL FREE TO MAKE
SUGGESTIONS TO MAKE THIS RESEARCH ROOM RUN MORE EFFICIENTLY AND
CONVENIENTLY. WE APPRECIATE YOUR COOPERATION AND COMMENTS.

Guide for Source Citations
The purpose of this basic guide to source citations is to take the mystery
out of writing information about how you know what you know. 'Don't
worry about the commas an~ periods; they'll vary according to different
guides anyway. But do read the examples to learn what you need to record about the material in which you find information about your
ancestors.
The examples given are for footnote listings; bibliography entries will
be different in their structure. If you have enough information to write a
footnote for your family group sheet, you'll have enough to write the bibliography entry when you get around to compiling your family history.
When you begin to write a source citation, think about the read~rs who
will come after you. Could they take the information you've supplied and
easily find the material again? It's better to write too much about a source
than too little.

Besides baptisms, marriages, and burials, until recent times parishes were also administrative units
for: road repair, maintaining· parish boundaries, taking care of the poor and needy. (Poor Law
Records available in record offices include: settlement certificates, bastardy orders, work house
records, etc.)

Civil Registration:
Civil Registration of births, marriages, deaths began in 1837; registration was by quarter year, e.g.,

�The Society held a meeting in Lecompton at Constitution Hall and
the following information is part of what we learned. We were there
to see the Gieseman maps primarily.
Lecompton Trivia
Constitution Hall was built in 1856. It is quite possibly the old~st
.wooden building in Kansas.
Albert G. Boone, grandson of the famous frontiersman Daniel .
Boone, was one of the founders of Lecompton. Boone Street in
Lecompton is named for him.
Ft Titus was a pro slavery stronghold one mile south of Lecompton.
On August 16, 1856, Colonel Henry Titus' fortified log house fort
was attacked and destroyed by free state men from Lawrence. This
incident was known as the Battle of Ft. Titus.
Titusville, Florida, home of the Kennedy Space Center, was named
for Colonel Henry Titus.
The famous wooden candle box, discovered in 1858 under a
woodpile near the surveyor general's office in Lecompton which
contained fraudulent election ballots for the Lecompton ConstitUtion
and state officers under the constitution, is on display at
Constitution Hall.
Lecompton was founded in 1854 on a 640-A Wyandotte Indian land
claim.
The town of Denver was platted by a group of men from
Lecompton.

�The following are from a publication The Point:
Walk through time, stories of the steps.
Sesquicentennial Point is located on the northeast corner of Clinton
Lake and commemorates the 150th anniversary of the founding of
Lawrence. There are steps for each of the 150 years, some years
with more than one step, which were purchased by either
individuals or groups. Each step cost the number of the year. This
book tells the story behind each step and is therefore a brief history
of each year. In subsequent issues of the Pioneer we will include
more of the steps.

Amos Lawrence
Great Uncle of Robert Derby-Gift of the Derby Family
Amos Adams Lawrence (1814-1886) was a wealthy Boston
merchant and philanthropist. Mr. Lawrence gave liberally to
abolitionist movements such as the New England Emigrant Aid
Company, organized to promote anti-slavery immigration to Kansas
from the Northeast. In 1854, the City of Lawrence was founded by
settlers sent by the New England Emigrant Aid Company and was
named in honor of Amos A. Lawrence. Mr. Lawrence made many
philanthropic contributions throughout his life including one to help
found the University of Kansas.
Amos A. Lawrence was a great uncle to Robert Mason Derby. In
1884, two years prior to his death, Amos Lawrence gave a silver
plate to Robert Mason Derby engraved "To Robert Mason Derby
from his Great Uncle Amos A. Lawrence 1884." This plate is still

�in the possession of the Derby family as are other Lawrence
heirlooms. Robert Mason Derby III, formerly of Lawrence, has two
sons living in Lawrence: Charles Lawrence Derby and John
Chandler Derby. Charles Lawrence Derby is married to wife Kirsten
and has daughters Lillian Elisabeth and Sarah Cay, making sixth
generation descendants residing in Lawrence.

1854
First United Methodist Church
Kansas has had a Methodist presence since the opening of Kansas
Territory in 1854. In 1854, Rev. William H. Goode was selected as
presiding elder for the Kansas-Nebraska Mission District. "In
casting about for an assistant, he chose James S. Griffing, a young
pastor of the North Street Mission, Indianapolis, who when found
was on top of his new church building helping to erect it."
The Rev. Griffmg was the preacher in charge of the Wakarusa
Mission, which included Lawrence and extended from the mouth of
the Kansas River west to Fort Riley. In November 1854 he wrote to
his fiance, Augusta, " .. .1 have been traveling alone-not alone
exactly, but with 'Jacob' my faithful Indian pony. After coming in
the territory, finding that there was nothing as yet but prairie grass
to feed a horse, I found it necessary to procure an Indian pony as
they alone can endure the hardships of the territory at present."

�He served as pastor for Lawrence Methodist for nearly a year.
Sponsored by: The Rev. H. Sharon Howell and Judy and Jerome
Niebaum

1854
Plymouth Congregational Church
Lawrence was established in September of 1854; the next month
saw the beginnings of the fITst church in the city, Plymouth
Congregational Church. The story starts with the coming of Pastor
Samuel Y. Lum, sent to Kansas by the American Home Missionary
Society. On Oct. 15, a number of persons met with him in the
Pioneed Boarding House, the main hotel that looked like a "hay
tent" because of its construction. The group formed a religious
society and decided to meet again. Three days later a gathering of
perhaps 10 approved articles fo faith and a covenant for the new
church.
The manual of Mount Vernon Church in Boston was a major
source. For a name they selected Plymouth since ''their
circumstances and their purpose corresponded with those of the
Plymouth Pilgrims' over two centuries earlier in Massachusetts."
The first service followed on October 22, when ''three trunks were
piled on each other for a pulpit, and the congregation seated
themselves on the beds and boxes and baggage of the boarders."
There had been missions to the Indians before this time but
Plymouth was the first church in Kansas Territory.
That was the beginning of Plymouth. Later when the "hay tent"

�burned, the congregation met wherever and whenever they could in
a period of disorder. In time, Plymouth constructed its own building
in the vicinity of 6th and Louisiana, which in 1970 was replaced by
the current brick sanctuary on Vermont Street. Following Pastor
Lum was Richard Cordley, who led the church for 38 years. .
Cordley was a strong abolitionist, and important over the years in
other ways in Lawrence and in Kansas. Like Lawrence in 2004,
Plymouth celebrated its sesquicentennial with many activities ..
Plymouth Congregational Church recalled its beginnings in 1854,
once more expressed appreciation for its pioneers and looked to its
future

1855
Unitarian Church
Unitarians were among the ftrst settlers in Lawrence in the summer
of 1854, arriving with others from Massachusetts under auspices of
the Emigrant Aid Company, created to assist settling the new
Kansas Territory with Free State supporters. In the ftrst months,
Unitarians
joined other religious denominations in holding joint
.
servIces.
In 1855, the Rev. Ephraim Nute arrived to serve as the ftrst
Unitarian minister in Lawrence. His ftrst sermon was on Mount
Oread on May 27, 1855. Reverend Nute was instrumental in starting
the construction of the ftrst church building in Lawrence in march,
1856, on the site which is now 933 Ohio St. (there is a historical
marker at that location). The ftrst service in the church was in
March 1857, but the building was not completed until 1859, when

�the clock and the bell were placed in the church tower. Among the
founding members were Kansas Governor and Mrs. Charles
Robinson, and the frrst Mayor of Lawrence, Col. James Blood.
The church served in many ways as a community center in those
early years. The church basement was outfitted to be a school and
provided a locale for the city's first schools, and later for overflow
classes from the University. When the church building was severely
damaged by natural disasters, it became unusable and a new church
building was erected at what is now 12th and Vermont Sts. The·bell
from the frrst church was sold to the local school system and today
is ensconced in a place of honor in the entrance to the Lawrence
High School building at 19th and Louisiana Sts.
The second Unitarian church served the community until 1944,
when the organization disbanded. This property was purchased by
and became part of St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church on
Vermont Street.
In 1957, a new Unitarian organization formed in Lawrence: the
Unitarian Fellowship of Lawrence. In 1961, the Unitarian
Fellowship purchased the former Pleasant Valley School build~g
on 1263 North 1100 Rd., five miles south of central Lawrence. A
religious education facility was soon added to the original school
building. At the time of this writing, the Fellowship is celebrating its
th
50 anniversary at that location and is building a new addition tQ the
south to serve its growing congregation.
'
The Fellowship is a member of the Unitarian Universalist
Association of Congregations which espouses liberal religious
values, the free search for spiritual truth and working to achieve
social justice. It had been completely lay-led until part time

~7

�ministerial services were introduced in 2005. The Fellowship is
proud to be carrying on the legacy of Unitarianism in Lawrence.

1855
First Baptist Church
While Kansas was still a territory and conditions were building up
toward the Civil War, a company of seven people was called
together to organize the First Baptist Church in Lawrence, Kan~, on
June 25, 1855. This date makes us the oldest continuous Baptist
Church in Kansas.
Very meager records have been found regarding this meeting, but
we do know that the church was organized on this date and the
names of the charter members: James S. Emery, Marshall M.
Hammond, Samuel Jones, Rebecca Jones, Nathan Herrick, Lydia
Ann Herrick and Elizabeth Parks.
By 1857, there was a large influx of settlers, and the Home Mission
Society sent the Rev. R.C Brant to be the church's fITst pastor. For
10 years, the church met in rented meeting halls. It was during these
unsettled times that Quantrill's Raid took the life of Samuel Jones,
one of the original seven members.
In 1867, the members moved into the basement of their own
building under construction on the lot at Kentucy and Henry streets
th
(now 8 Street) obtained for $2,000. Three years later, on Jan 30,
1870, the building that was to stand on that corner for a hundred .
years was dedicated. On the 100th anniversary of the founding of the

2.1

�church, a new Christian Education Building was dedicated.
Deterioration of the building in 1974 made the sanctuary unsafe.
While limited repairs were made, Plymouth Congregational Church
opened the doors of its meeting house to the Baptists. Our
congregation returned to worship in its historic building for two
more years, but continued crumbling of the brick under the main
roof beams made it necessary to vacate the gracious old structure. It.
was razed in July, 1976. Church members accepted the challenge to
plan another house of God, which would enable His people to
continue to fulfill His mission for years to come.
Through foresighted leadership the church began acquiring adjacent
properties as equity for a new building. The downtown properties
were sold to Douglas County Bank, and the 6-acre site on Kasold
Drive was purchased. The first service in the new building was
Christmas Eve, 1979.
After several years of planning and praying, the dream of an
enlarged facility on Kasold became a reality. With a cost of$l.3
million, an addition, which doubled the size of the existing building,
was dedicated on Jan. 30,2000. Exactly 130 years to the date of the
dedication of our first building in 1870, the congregation celebrated
with a service of worship as part of the "Blessed with A Vision"
campaign. The generous gift of $300,000 from the Arthur Dougan
estate allowed for the complete construction fo architectural plans.
The First Baptist Church is here because of the faith and dedicated
service of many who have gone before us.
In 2005, our Sesquicentennial year began with an inaugural program
at the church on Jan. 23, 2005. The theme, "Reflect, Rejoice,
Renew!" was introduced to the congregation. The Mission's

�Ministry also unveiled the "Give 150" program, a mission effort to
focus our time and talents on several community organizations. The
program was our way of giving thanks to the City of Lawrence for
supporting First Baptist Church for the last 150 years.

1857
Trinity Episcopal Church
Amos A. Lawrence sent a box of church school books and a letter of
support in response to a plea from Englishman Samuel Reynolds to
recognize the need for an Episcopal church in Lawrence.
In the spring of 1857, the Herald of Freedom, one of Lawrence's
early newspapers, in the issues of April 3 and April 10 carried this
notice: "Meeting announced April 5th at 7 Y2 o'clock to organize a
parish. Meeting at office of Whitman and Searl." On April 17, in
the same newspaper appeared this item: "First parish meeting of the
Episcopalians, 7 :00 P.M. - wardens and vestry elected." The only
evidence found of any follow-up of this action was the purchase for
$500 of lot 95 on Vermont Street, near the comer of Vermont and
Berkeley streets, the latter now 10th street.
By 1858, Samuel's brother, the Rev. Charles Reynolds, left his
parish in Columbus, Ohio, to become the fIrst rector of Trinity
Church in Lawrence. On July 29, 1859, Bishop Jackson Kemper
consecrated the fIrst church building.

�In November 1863, the Rev. Robert W. Oliver met with church
leaders to review the status of plans for establishing a university in
Lawrence. The Rev. Oliver -succeeded Reynolds as Rector and in
1865 became the fITst chancellor of the University of Kansas, and
led the building of North College Hall, which opened to 55 students
on Sept. 16, 1866.
From these early beginnings, Trinity went on to expand with anew
church building that opened Easter, 1873. The original church
building built in 1859 served as a chapel and parish hall.
In April 1955, Trinity Church was completely gutted by fire. T~e
beautiful walnut interior and nearly all stained glass windows were
destroyed. Church members undertook the challenge to rebuild this
historical church, and in March 1956 the restored building was
rededicated. In the early 1970s the original 1859 church building
was razed, making way for a new parish hall, classrooms and
offices.
In the late 1980s, Trinity helped and initiate St. Margaret's
Episcopal Church, the second Episcopal parish in Lawrence.
Sponsored by: Trinity Episcopal Church

1858
St. John The Evangelist Catholic Church
A few Catholic families settled in Lawrence around the year 1855.
Father J. J. Magee, living in the territorial capital of Lecompton,
was invited to celebrate the first Mass in Lawrence in October, 1857
in the home of Mr. Bernard Donnelly on Rhode Island Street. Some

.PI

�"ruffians" ordered Father Magee out of town by sundown but he
was protected by Mr. Donnelly, who replied to the ruffians, "Make
no mistake about it, the priest is a guest at my home and will remain
as long as he wishes; in fact, we intend if possible to build up a
congregation here." (Quote is from: "Lawrence, St. John the
Evangelist Parish," written in 1937 by Michael T. Hoffman).
Quantrill's infamous raid occurred on Aug. 21, 1863, less than. three
years after the first church dedication. Bishop Magee was in
Lawrence the night before the raid. He had come to administer the
sacrament of Confirmation on the following day. Father Sebastian
Favre, pastor at the time of the raid, was awakened by the pounding
ofa Quaker minister and his wife at the door. Father Favre wrapped
the minister in an old carpet and hid him in the basement. Quantrill
had a particular dislike for ministers. Bishop Miege confronted
Quantrill and explained his mission. Quantrill scrutinized the
occupants of the room and then ordered his followers to leave
without molesting anyone. Although the church, the rectory and the
people in the rectory were spared the torch, 14 Catholics were killed
in the raid.
The Catholic community in Lawrence continued to grow in the
second half of the 19th Century. In 1871, the parishioners found that
their church was too small, so they dismantled the first church and
built a larger one. This second church was brick, 45 x 80 feet and
cost $10,000. In 1883, the church membership totaled 150. The .'
Carmelite Fathers served the parish from 1873-1884. A Reuter
organ was installed in the second church in 1920. The second
church building was destroyed by fire in 1924.
The church building between 12th and 13th streets at 1234 Kentucky
St. Is the third church. It was constructed in 1924 following the

�destruction of the second one by fIre. Father Henry Fitzgerald was
pastor when the new church and rectory (now the offIces of Simon
Parish Center, facing Vermont Street), 1229 Vermont were built.
The church became more accessible with installation of an elevator
in 1999. The 75 th Anniversary of the current building was celebrated
with rededication on Sunday Nov. 26, 2000. We are a diverse

1858
First Presbyterian Church
When First Presbyterian Church of Lawrence was founded in 1858,
the town was only four years old. Lawrence was a leader in the
effort to have Kansas become a Free State. The charter members of
our church were Free Staters people who left their homes in the east
to make a commitment against the evil of human slavery. Charter
members of the church's founding on April 5, 1858 include: Mrs.
Ann P . Berry, D.E. and Sarah Bowen, Mr. and Mrs. William Cook,
R.A. and Mary Dean, James A. and Elizabeth Finley, George W.
Herrington, William A. Holmes, Dr. And Mrs. C.E. Miner, Oliver
and Mary Paul, Thomas Reed, Thomas Seetin, Mrs. Lydia Shanklin,
James and Elizabeth Steele and Mr. and Mrs. L. S. Steele. It is also
believed that a Mr. and Mrs. McCandless and a Mrs. Edgerton were
also charter members.

Until 1854, when Kansas was opened for settlement, the spot on which this old landmark church stands was just part of a
vast ocean of tall prairie grass, under the ever-changing skies. To the north lay the Kaw River, crowding the bluffs beyond. A
few miles to the east stood hills of spectacular beauty, and the prairie rolled gently away toward the south and west. The
silence was broken only by the winds or by the song of a meadow-lark, and at night by the music of the prairie wolves. The
land belonged to the Indians, to the roving herds of buffalo and antelope, and to the great flocks of migratory birds.
The Kansas-Nebraska Bill, passed in May, 1854, changed all this forever. It provided that Kansas could become a free state
or a slave state, depending on how the people of Kansas voted. The race was on to stake out claims, and to vote Kansas
"free," or "slave."
Two years later, in 1856, there were already about sixty people living within a few miles of this place that they called
Wabaunsee, an Indian name meaning "Dawn of Day." Here, on the south bank of the Kaw River, 100 miles west of Kansas
City, a settler had built a tiny store. In New England "Kansas Fever" ran high. The people of New Haven, Connecticut, raised
money to send a group of colonists to Kansas, sixty or more men, led by one of New Haven's most respected citizens,
Charles B. Lines. These were well educated men, many with professional training .. They left good jobs and good homes
behind them. They were not just adventurers, with little to lose by going west; they were men making a sacrifice for their
ideals.

Before the Connecticut-Kansas Company left for Kansas, a meeting was held in North Church, in New Haven. Professor
Silliman, of Yale, pledged $25.00 for a Sharps rifle for the Company. Then Henry Ward Beecher, the great minister from
Brooklyn, pledged that his congregation would give the money for twenty-five rifles if the audience would give another
twenty-five; people in the crowd responded in great excitement, and soon twenty-seven had been promised. A few days later
Mr. Beecher sent Mr. Lines $625 for the rifles, and with the money came twenty-five Bibles, the gift of a parishioner.

I~

The Company left New Haven at midnight, on March 31st, after a torch light parade across town to the steamboat to New
York. The next day they were on a train to St. Louis, a three-day journey of great discomfort. From St. Louis they sailed up
the Missouri River on the steamboat Clara, as far as Kansas City. There they bought thirty wagons and sixty oxen, along with
.farm implements, tents, and provisions for thirty days. They started west on the Oregon Trail, stopping for a few days in the
free-state town of Lawrence. Then they continued along the trail to Uniontown, near present-day Willard. Here, instead of
following the trail across the Kaw river, they veered left and continued west, south of the river, until they reached the place
their scouts had selected, Wabaunsee, "The New Haven of the West."
In late April, 1856, (almost a month away from New Haven) Wabaunsee suddenly became a busy tent city. Streets were laid
out, and city lots and tracts of prairie land were divided among the men of the Company. The settlers already on the scene
welcomed the New Englanders, and some of them joined the worship services that were held on Sundays, first in tents, then
in cabins or dug-outs. The new settlers found pioneer life very hard. Some became ill or discouraged and returned home.
Those who remained until August were then called to go to the defense of Lawrence. Organized as "The Prairie Guard",
under their elected captain, William Mitchell, they spent six weeks fighting the border ruffians.
The winter of 1856-57 was one of suffering in Wabaunsee, but things seemed more hopeful in the spring, when the wives and
children came to join the men. Now that a permanent settlement seemed assured, there was a desire for a permanent church
organization. In late June, 1857, fifteen of the members of the Colony and thirteen other settlers met to organize "The First
Church of Christ in Wabaunsee," with the Rev. Harvey Jones as Pastor. Of this group of twenty-eight charter members, nine
were women.
After two years of raising funds for a church building, mostly in New Haven, they started construction of the sturdy stone
church-that still stands in Wabaunsee. The stones were hauled from quarries, on sledges drawn by oxen. The mortar was
mixed by hand, and the long shingles, called "shakes," were made with crude hand tools. The rows of straight-backed pews
were divided down the center of the church by a low wooden partition that separated the men from the women. From the
balcony across the rear of the church a ladder led to the belfry. The church-yard was edged with hitching posts, and there
were newly planted trees and lilacs in appropriate spots.
The new church was dedicated in May, 1862. By that time some of the members had already gone to fight in the Civil War.
Soon there were only a few boys and older men to carry on the work in Wabaunsee. But after the war was over the town
began to grow again. It never became the great city the people from New Haven had envisioned, but the area grew into a
thriving farm community. The church became one of the largest and most influential Congregation churches in Kansas. Only
a few of the Connecticut families remained to bring up their children in Wabaunsee, but those few were a strong influence
there, and in Kansas.

The pioneers of Wabsunsee sent their children to Washburn College or to t a Kansas State Agricultural College, to become
teachers, ministers, or missionaries. These young people then went to far places in the world to work, but they never forgot
Wabaunsee. When the church needed repairs they always gave generously to assist the Willing Workers Society, that group
of church ladies forever busy with ice cream socials or oyster suppers given to ~aise money to help pay the minister's salary
or the mortgage payments on the parsonage.
.

In 1907 old friends of the church came from far away to help celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the First Church of Christ in
Wabaunsee. Only two of the original Company still lived in Wabaunsee then, but they both played a large part in the Jubilee
celebration.
In 1913 there was a renewal of interest in the church when a new minister came to start an experiment in. rural development..
The Rev. Anton Boisen, later to become a very famous man, organized the people to build sidewalks, improve the
churchyard and the cemetery, and to better their economic and social lives. But the population of the area was dwindling,
and so many people left, as an indirect effect of World War 1, that after 1917 it was no longer possible to keep a resident
minister. After that there were guest ministers from time to time, and services held with the Methodist church of Wabaunsee.
An effort was made to federate the two churches, but this failed, and soon the old stone church was practically deserted. The
last entry In the official record book was made in 1927.
The descendants of the "Beecher Colony" organized "Old Settlers Association" in 1932. The last Sunday of August was
designated "Old Settler's Day by the Association. Throughout the years "Old Setters" gathered on this day as well as
Decoration Day to reminisce and to honor men and women who had made that church a symbol of freedom around the
world. Homecoming continues to be celebrated on the last Sunday in August. Former members spent more than one
thousand dollars in the renovation of the Church in 1948. This same group, a few years later, raised a similar sum to erect a
monument gate for the Wabaunsee Cemetery entrance. the gate design was by Maude Mitchell, the daughter of William
Mitchell. He was a captain of the "Old Prairie Guard."
In 1950 residents of Wabaunsee formed a new church group, and began to hold weekly services. This was said to be the first
inter-racial Congregational Church in Kansas, a fact which impressed many as a fitting tribute to the Connecticut-Kansas
Colony. The Church's Centennial, in August, 1957, saw the old building much as it had looked when completed, almost a
hundred years before. The old pews were still uncomfortable, the floors still dark and creaky, and the windows still tall and
narrow. But a year later much had been changed. A youth group, under the sponsorship of the Kansas Pilgrim Fellowship,
spent two weeks in Wabaunsee, working with members of the church, to renovate the building. T~ey put in a new floor, a tile
ceiling, and replaced the old coal stoves with modern heaters. Soon after that the parishioners of a church about to be
inundated by the waters of Tuttle Creek Reservoir donated its pews to replace the old ones in the Wabaunsee church. More
recently stained-glass inserts have placed in the old windows.
Sunday Worship Service and Sunday School are conducted each Sunday. Continuation of these services date back to 1950.
Since this time these services have been conducted by full time and part time ministers, special guests and lay persons.

The congregation continues to welcome guests, guest speakers, new and old members. In 1992, The George Thompson
Christian Center was built. This building has modern facilities for Sunday School classes and other activities. This church
has been servicing the public since 1862, although not continuously.

�Leavenworth County Mount Zion Cemetery

From the collections at the Leavenworth County Historical Society and Museum. Reprinted with
permission from The Leavenworth County Historical Society and Museum and the Leavenworth Times.

Leaders of Leavenworth's golden age may be found in Mount Zion Cemetery
Leavenworth Times, Sunday, Sept. 13, 1987
, by L. Candy Ruff, Times Lifestyles Editor

Walking down the long sidewalk that divides the Mount Zion Cemetery is like walking through
downtown Leavenworth at the turn of the century. Names familiar to the dry goods business, banking
merchandising and the medical community are proudly displayed on the head~ones.
These were the leaders of Leavenworth's golden age and represent a large Jewish community that once
thrived and supported the city. It was about this time that Otto Stein became the caretaker of the
, cemetery, according to his grandson, George Stein Jr. 'The elder Stein was born in Leavenworth in 1878
after his parents. Antonio and Johanna Kruger Stein, had moved the family from Atchison. They were
looking for work and a place to live.
"The story goes that granddad was sent to the Sisters of Charity," Stein Jr. recalled as he stood at the
cemetery's front gate. "They told him about the caretaker's job being open at the Jewish cemetery. A
house went with the job and the 40 acres of land surrounding the property were available for
sharecropping. "
Although the Stein family followed the Catholic faith, the elder Stein poured his heart and soul into the
care of the cemetery. He was to be its caretaker for the next 48 years.
"Those were the horse and buggy days. They say that before Fort Leavenworth got started, there was a
French trapping colony right here in this area. And maybe some of them were buried at this site because
it was on the highest elevation."
A mining company came along at the mid-century mark and began to excavate the land, "but about all
they found were rocks and more rocks. So that didn't last too long."
The Society of the Sons of Truth was fIrst organized June 10, 1858 with James Wollman, Simon Abeles
and Joseph Ringolsky as trustees. Through the years, it became known as Mount Zic;m Cemetery. The
records have been destroyed twice, but those that remain tell of burials long before the ground was
designated a cemetery. Information taken from headstones by Erwin Baker and Charles Pierce indicate a
Jacobs infant was born in 1834 and died July 17, 1835. An ancestor of the Etterson family that operated
a dry goods store in Leavenworth for many years was Henry Etterson. The records in a ledger kept at the
Leavenworth National Bank said Etterson was born in 1751 and died Oct. 17, 1809. He was buried in
family plot No. 68.
The old-time ledger holds a number of interesting points. For instance, the causes of death from' 1866 to
1896 incl~ded be~g c~h~d by ~ars, kidney troub~es, summer complaints (two of those), being
drowned m the Missoun River, killed by a mule, killed by a railroad car, murdered (that was in 1870),
thrown from a buggy, stomach troub~e, chronic insanity (the person was 36 when he died), evidently

�Leavenworth County Mount Zion Cemetery

killed, burned to death and softening of the brain.
By the time the elder Stein began to care for the cemetery, it was beginning to fill quickly. In 1911 a
wall was erected along the front of the cemetery. But the construction of the Salinger mausoleum
changed the face of the cemetery and took the most planning. It was built in 1921 upon the death of
Augustus L. Salinger.
"They hauled the rock up here with a team of horses from Haymarket Square. And they had a German
stonemason come in here to put it all together. Now, all this big mausoleum was built for just one man,
but after a few years, his parents were put in the mausoleum, too. The sad thing is that Augustus was the
last one in the family line and he never married."
Stein Jr. says his grandfather used the 40 acres by the cemetery for a truck garden, "and back in those
days, that was a good living. He would have a big long table full of produce and people knew it was
good and would come for miles around."
He planted two mulberry trees in the front portion of the cemetery that remain and flourish today. The
elder Stein left a record of public service. He was born in 1878, a son of Antonio and Johanna Kruger
Stein. At the age of21, he was elected clerk of the Kickapoo Township, and later held the office of road
overseer for the township. In 1905, he was made a special deputy sherifIfor Kickapoo and also was
named the game warden. He retired as cemetery caretaker in 1948.
However, his son and grandson had already begun caring for the grounds and Stein Sr. replaced his
father in the late '40s.
"I used to help him with the push mowers arid we dug the graves with a shovel. It was some hard work
in those days. The Jewish people held to many of their traditions and one of them was that graves must
be opened and closed on the same day. Never were they to .stand open overnight."
His grandfather told him the early Jewish burials were not in vaults. The coffin would be put right into
the ground Without any covering over it.
Stein Jr. says neither his grandfather nor father received a Salary. Their only compensation was the home
in which they were allowed to live and the 40 acres they could plant. After his father's home was
destroyed by a tornado in 1961, the cemetery board decided not to rebuild.
"I took over the job from Dad in 1970. By thattime we had nicer lawn mowers and eventually got a
riding one. I walk down this sidewalk and see so many names that were so important to this town. Also
there was this lady, Dorothy Tomer. She did so much for the cemetery and she was one of the first ones
I buried. She came out here a lot, put flowers on the graves. She taught a lot of her people buried out
here. There just aren't any more like her left; I'm afraid."
Nor will there be any Steins to take over once Stein Jr. retires. He says his boys aren't any too interested
in cemetery care, but as long as he is able, he will be the caretaker and make sure the graves are tended
and the property not vandalized.

DEFINITION OF ANCESTORS

C\ best Anoestors
are found along with old furniture and oaptive skeletons in all our
regulated families. Anoestors oonsist of forefathers and foremothers, to say
of

nothing
foreunoles and foreaunts, who have done something grand and noble, like
being beheaded by a king or having a relative who was ·governor of a oolony. This
unables them to be pointed out with pride by their desoendants forevermore.
Being an anoestor is one of the easiest and most attraotive of jobs. It
merely oonsists of being boasted by one.'s desoendants ~ Thus many ancestors haVE:)
been enabled to make good after they are dead. More than one anoestor who has
gone out
this life a poor person, and only a few jumps ahead of the sheriff,
has had the good fortune, a oentury later, to beoome the anoestor of some
.
ambitious family with plenty of money, and has beoome so famous in oonsequenoe
that his tom~stone has had to be greatly enlarged arid improved. Anoestors aro
one of the most valuable arid satisfaotory of possessions. They are non-taxable·
. and oannot be stolen. Theil- upkeep is prac.l·~.;;a.l1y nothing and they do noil deteri~rate with age and negleot~
In faot, they t.norease in value as they grow
older. An anoestor 600 years old is worth a whole mass meeting of 56 year old
8.noestors. Adam is the oldest anoestor. He is 6,000 years old,. and has a. fine
reoord. But he is a oommon possession, like eduoation and liberty, so he is
not valued very highly.

"

of

Almost all rioh people own and operate ancestors. ·But the poorest men have
them.too. Many a. man who hasn't two vests to his name~ and oannot ho~d a. job
two'minutes, has anoestors whioh are the envy of his. automobile neighbors. We
cannot buy anoestors if we do not have them, but we oan buy them for our ohildren
by marrying disoreetly •• ~.. We should be proud of our anoestors, but not out
loud.

�USING LAND RECORDS IN GENEALOGICAL RESEARCH
Ruth Keys Clark,

:&lt;--'
• • 1'

"Blood follows the land" is an old saying but one Which will prove useful in family
history research. Many of our ancestors came to this country to "own land" and
most did own land at some point during their lifetime. Deeds contain names,
dates and place names and'that is what our research is all about. Before the
Civil War 85% of Americans owned or leased land.
Land deed can contain cl~es that lead us to other records. They can contain :
kinship ties when a group of heirs sell inherited land. READ the COMPLETE
deed. Many researchers get excited when they find their ancestor's name on a
land deed and fail to recognize the clues and vital links it can provide to other
generations.

Records Relating to Military Service
Micro fllm records in the National Archives (See the federal forms section
. for request form needed, to purchase the film or you can read it at your nearest Federal .
Record Center ).

�Using Civil War Regimental Histories
The American Civil War was one of the most defining events in the history of the
United States. It pitted men and women on both sides of the Mason-Dixon line against
, each other, and very nearly tore apart the young republic. Approximately one and a half
million men were killed or injured during the five year struggle, and it affected every community between Canada 'and Mexico, whether or not they sent sons and brothers to active
military duty.
The scope of the war, the sheer number of men (arid women) who saw action, and the
geography covered by military troops in the perfoimance of their duties makes it likely
that most American families of the time period were personally affected.
If you have one or more ancestors who fought for the federal or confederate forces,
you may have already contacted the U.S. National Archives for a copy of the service
record or pension file that was created 'following the War Between the States. While the
National Park Service, the National Archives, and several other organizations are working
on a comprehensive index to all of the Union and Confederate soldiers and sailors who
can be identified, it is already possible to locate the name of a Civil War ancestor using
, microfilined indexes imanged by state. Once your ancestor's state and regiment can be
determined, you can request a photocopy of his service or (federal) pension file from the
National Archives for a reasonable fee. (By the way, just because your ancestor lived within
the bounds of the Confederacy, don't assume he served the Southern-Cause. Of all the
states in the C.S.A., only South Carolina had no organized federal unit serving under its
name.)
While an ancestor's service record or pension application contains a great deal of
valuable information, to understand all of its ramifications you should also obtain a copy
of the history of the regiment in which he served. A few full-length sagas of individual
regiments have been published in book form, but for the most part you will have to rely
on short summaries of each regiment's history. A good source of these summary histories is
Frederick H. Dyer's A Compendium of the War of the Rebellion, which features short histories of each regiment.
While larger libraries have copies of Dyer's Compendium on their shelves, your best
bet in locating these regimental histories is to go online. Many of the regimental histories
have been published on the World Wide Web as part of genealogical, historical or military
websites. If you know the state and regiment in which your ancestor served, it can be
fairly easy to go to such Web pages as Ken Jones' CiviL War RegimentaL Histories Index,
and look up a transcription of Dyer's history for that regiment. (When the Civil War
Soldiers and Sailors System is released, not only will it include an index to all of those
who served on either side of the Civil War, but it will include linked copies of Dyer's
regimental histories.)
, Although Dyer's summaries are terse in their wording, they are packed with information: beginning with the dates and places each regiment and its companies were organized.
The'sentences of each history give the details of where the regiment was sent, where its
troops saw action, and which larger organizations the regiment or its companies were
assigned to serve with. This information on assignments is especially important, as companies and even single men would often see action under separate command from the rest
of th~ regiment, depending on the needs of the moment. At the end of each history is a
sumJPary of the number of men from the regiment who were killed in action, mortally
wounded, or who died due to disease.
You can use the dates and assignments to help you understand the contents of your
ancestor's service or pension file. By cross referencing the dates in the file and the regimental history you can see where he would have been, what he would have been doing,
where he would have travelled to go from one assignment to the next, and which regiments, would have served with his in battle or in another assignment. These details can
help y'0u understand why he may have moved to another state following the war, or why
it too~ him so long to return home after mustering out.
Yqu also need to place the history of the regiment within the larger history of the war.
One of the best ways to do this is by consulting timelines of Civil War history. By checking the dates of battles against the movement of troops as shown in the regimental history
you can see the reasoning behind the moves, and get a feel for the contributions your
ancestor and his mates in his regiment had on both individual battles and the whole war.
That extra bit of research can provide you with an' insight into the history of your
family That you may never have guessed at.

�DOUGLAS COUNTY GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY
The Society has not been holding regular meetings. This is not du~ to
lack of interest but lack of bodies to get programs together. In November
the Library and the Society sponsored a joint program for beginniQg
genealogists. It was well attended and pointed out that there is still a
great deal of interest in family history. The Society spoke to how to
begin, forms to use and answered questions. The Library presente~ and
demonstrated a bit of what can be found online.
The Library has moved the Osma Room to another portion of the lower
level and has made the old space into a nice computer lab. As a result
they can now teach classes in the lab on different aspects of using the
computer.
On January 12 there will be a second jointly sponsored program. This
one will be held in the Computer Lab at 7pm. There are only 12
computers but the room can accomodate possibly 20 people.
Registration will be required and if there is enough demand a second
session will be scheduled. Pattie Johnston will demonstrate and help
with use of genealogical databases available through the Library. This
will be a first for both groups so be patient. Watch for announcements
or get in touch with Pattie at johnston@lawrence.lib.ks.us. This is a
beginning to a new era of service from the Library.

�BLACK JACK BATTLEFIELD
Your editor has recently been appointed to the Board of the Black Jack

cautioning the men to save their ammunition. Brown shifted the men to fill the gaps created when
Carpenter and Thompson left. Shore also left to hunt up some breakfast for the men, and Townsley
left for more amunition (sic), but didn't return until after Pate's surrender.
Brown surveyed the Missourian's line and announced that they were leaving one by: one. He
declared that they couldn't allow that and that they would have to surround them and force them to
surrender. He took the two Moores, Weiner, and Bondi and ascended a rise south of the 'Missouri
camp. There the Moores were told to shoot the horses and mules exclusively. They k,j}}ed two
horses and two mules with their first four shots. This alarmed the Missourians who rushed from the
battlelines and mounted their horses and left for Missouri. Brown advanced sixty feet and signaled
Weiner and Bondi to come up while the Moores were to advance more slowly.
,
The men in the trenches advanced. About sundown Frederick left the horses and rode down the
Santa Fe Trail, along with Colonel W. A. Phillips of New York, beyond the ruffian's camp. He
called to his father that the Missourians were surrounded. Captain Pate, thinking Frederick had
reinforcements, sent out the flag of truce.
Brown met the flag about halfway. The flag was brought by Turner and a free state prisoner named
Lymer. Pate's intentions were only to delay the hostilities and get Brown to come to their camp
where they could take him prisoner. Brown sent Lymer back to call out their commander, and at
gunpoint demanded Pate to accept an unconditional surrender. Brown sent his men to the'ruffians'
branch of the creek to prevent any of them from escaping while he went to the camp with Pate.
Twenty-eight of Pate's men were captured including Franklin Coleman, the murderer of Charles
Dow. The rest had fled during the fight. Fully one-third of the prisoners taken were from the
vicinity and were members of the pro-slavery party.
The fifteen remaining free staters of Brown's men got large amounts of ammunition and arms.
They also recovered much ofthe stolen property including four wagons and provisions. No one had
been killed and only three had been severely wounded.
A messanger (sic) had reached Hickory Point and Major Abbott and Capt. Dexter had joined forces.
Capt. J. S. Edie, who had served as the mess anger (sic), reported that the free-state men had engaged
the enemy before he left, and that they had been fighting all morning. These new forces then
marched double time to the scene ofthe action, approaching the battle from the west. They arrived
just after Capt. Pate had surrendered and his men were being taken prisoner.
The prisoners were fed and allowed to use their own tents. They were not searched nor was their
money taken, only the arms, horses, and military supplies. Brown held Pate's sword ahd pistol
personally until he later turned them over to Colonel Sumner when he took charge of Pate's men.
The tenns of the surrender were to release one prisoner at a time from each side until all were
released, including those taken at Stanton, Osawatomie and Pottawatomie in earlier raids. The sons
of John Brown, John Jr. and Jason, were to be among those captives liberated in exchang~ for Pate
and Brocket, respectively.
The prisoners were to be brought to a neutral place and released. The place was to be at OF near the
house ofJohn T. (Ottawa) Jones, six miles northeast of Ottawa. Each person liberated must appear
in person or answer in writing his declaration that he was at liberty otherwise he would be regarded
as still being held prisoner. The anns and horses were to be returned.
Pate and his men were take to Ottawa Creek and closely guarded. They were held for three days
and nights until Colonel Sumner and his pro-slavery soldiers arrived with a proclamation from

Governor Shannon. All anned forces were to disperse and Brown was ordered to release his
prisoners.
Sumner was accompanied by Deputy Marshall William J. Preston, who carried warrants for many
of Brown's men. Sumner granted him permission to serve those warrants, but he refused to admit
recognizing any of them and Sumner ordered no arrests. (Another source reports that Deputy Pain
was with Sumner and moved to arrest Brown, but found that he had lost the warrant.&gt;. ,The troops
departed but Brown's men regrouped about a half mile away. He sent Bondi to Pottawatomie to
check on that settlement and then dispersed his troops on June 10.
Sumner also found J. W. Whitfield in the territory with a force of ruffians. He ordered the
Missourians back home. Whitfield returned to Missouri, but sent his captains Reid, Pate, Bell and
Jenigen with their Missouri companies to sack Osawatomie.
'
Sumner had ordered Pate to return to Missouri, but he had only gone as far as Bull Creek where he
took Jacob Cantrell prisoner while he was on the way home from the Battle of Black Jack. He allow
him to say goodbye to his wife and children and then marched him to Bull Creek where they camped
for the night. The next day they took him to Cedar Creek where they shot him three times. Cantrell
has been found guilty of treason to Missouri, his home state, by Pate.
The Battle of Black Jack was the first battle in all of the United States between the fre&lt;;:-state and
pro-slavery armies. This was the beginning of the Civil War, but five years before it~s recorded
beginning.
The site of the battle is today marked by a monument to the free staters who fought there. The
monument is located three miles east of Baldwin City and.2 mile south of Highway 56 iQ the Black
Jack Park .

FOUGHT OVER AGAIN
Veterans of Battle of Blackjack Recall the Day
ONE IS JOHN BROWN'S SON
Meet Again in Portland Years After the Fight in Which the Old Enemy of Slavery
Defeated Kansas Border Ruffians.
Two famous old Kansas border fighters who fought under the man whose body lies a
mouldering in the grave, but whose soul goes marching on, greeted one another in
Portland yesterday after many years. One was Solomon Brown, one of the 20 children
of the celebrated old abolitionist; the other was August Bondi, a wiry little old man,
with the dark eyes and expressive face of the people of his native city, Venice. Mr.
Bondi, a prominent citizen of Salina, Kan., is a veteran of the Civil War, visiting
Portland from the last San Francisco Grand Army encampment. He was First
Sergeant, Company K, Fifth Kansas, and is now 70 years old. An adventurous young
man, inspired by the character of Kossuth and his compatriots under whom he fought
for Hungarian liberty, he had come to Kansas in early days and at once thrown his aid
to the cause of the Free State party.
Solomon Brown is a gigantic chip of the old block in appearance. His resemblance
to John Brown's portrait is striking. A man oflow voice and unassunimg manners he
impressed one as of the genuine old fighting stock to which he belongs. He is said to
have been a man of enormous physical strength in his prime, though now he is
crippled in the right leg from being thrown from a horse some years ago.
In company with Mr. Bondi, an Oregonian reporter visited Solomon Brown
yesterday at his residence, 353 Grant street, and listened to the story of the famous
battle of Blackjack in the old Kansas border days.

Really First Battle of War.
"The battle of Black Jack was the first battle of the war between the North and
South," said Solomon Brown.
"Yes, said August Bondi, "and its result forecasted the result of the war. That was on
the second day of June, 1856. Lord! How hungry we were!"
I,
"That was 47 years ago," said Solomon Brown. "You tell the young man the story,
Bondi, ifhe wants it."
Out came the reporter's pencil, and August Bondi began:
"There had been fighting in Kansas, you know, for many months, but ~hen Wilson
Shannon was appointed Governor of that state by Franklin Pierce the day was looking
dark for the Free Soilers. The border ruffian invasion was on, legalized;by Shannon,
who armed the pro-slavery forces with guns from the United States arsenal at Liberty,
:
Clay County, Missouri."
"Old Jim Lane afterward burned the town." Said Solomon Brown.
,
"The Kansans," continued the other, ''were all new settlers and poor; their seed grain,
their horses and cattle were their only dependence for the future, and these were taken
from them by force or destroyed, while many men, the support of those Struggling
families, were murdered in cold blood. But old John Brown went marching on. With
11 of us for a nucleus, he prepared to g,er a force to repel the border ruffians.

�John Brown's Little Army.
"The little company was made up of John Brown, Jr., Captain; four of the sonsOwen, Solomon, Fred and Oliver; Charles Kaiser, Theodore Wiener, August Bondi,
George Townsley, Ben Cochrane and Henry Thompson, brother-in-law of John
Brown, Sr.
"We were guided by a settler, Howard Carpenter, to a secure hiding place in the
virgin forest of Eastern Kansas, on Taway Creek, near the Douglas County line. There
was a reward out for each of our heads, but nobody was trying to eam it."
"Why," asked the reporter.
"Maybe they thought it might be unhealthy work," laughed Solomot;J- Brown.
"In this retreat," continued August Bondi, "we lay for six days - from May 24 to May
'30, 1856. Twice a day we were rationed with a pone of bran bread baked in a Dutch
oven by John Brown. The last two days we had only a spoonful of molasses each,
twice a day, with creek water. A kind-hearted Free Soil settler's wife had donated the
'
molasses because it was too sour for her to use."
,

Hungry, but Determined.
"Ha! Ha!" laughed Solomon Brown. "Do you recollect, Bondi, how loose the waistband of Wiener's trousers got?"
"Yes, he was stout to begin with - weighed 250. That same Wiener, by the way, had
been a slaveholder in the South, but when he came to Kansas and saw the border
ruffianism there, he joined us."
"He had a great phrase he often used," said Solomon Brown: '''Dead Men tell no
tales,' but I guess that time he felt more like saying 'Dead men don't get hungry.'"
"Well," continued August Bondi, "on May 30 came James Clark Ridpath, afterward
the historian, but the correspondent for the New York Tribune. Captain Brown
explained to him that we couldn't stay there much longer. Ridpath advised courage
and patience.
"You must stay and see it out," said he: "Your boys are at this time the sole
dependence of the Free State party."
"While Ridpath was talking, two settlers arrived. They were McPhinney
[Mc Whinney?] and Shore, Captains of two so-called military organizations. They
told their troubles, how the border ruffians were killing their horses, stealing their
cattle, etc., but they forgot to bring us a bite of lunch.
"Well, how many men can you give me?" asked Captain Brown. "I want you to
understand that I will not sacrifice my men here much longer. Jfyour people don't
want to fight for their homes and firesides, I shall leave you."
'The two settlers promised to be around next day to tell him what they could do.
Now, late on the following afternoon seven pro-slavery men surprised 12 Free Soilers
who were eating dinner in a log cabin a few miles from our retreat. They rushed in
and covered the Free Staters, who had left their guns and pistols stacke&lt;i at one side,
and they cleaned up the bunch.'
'That night back came Mc Whinnery [McWhinney?] and Shou [Shore?] to our camp
and told their tale of woe. While they talked, Howard Carpenter arrived, and we all
held council until 10 0' clock under the big oak tree in the center of our camp. It was
settled that the three visitors go out and send runners about the country to announce
the rendezvous of armed free staters at the church in Prairie City.'
"I recollect how you spoke out then, Bondi," said Solomon Brown. "You said, 'Say,
can't we have breakfast at Prairie City?' "
"Yes," laughed August Bondi, "hunger limbered up my tongue. I was 22 and

The odd job

�Solomon was 19, and us young fellows were suffering frightfully. Well, at 5 o'clock
the next morning back came Carpenter to guide us. We saddled our horses and started
- a funny-looking cavalcade, I warrant, our clothes nothing but rags attached together
with locust thorns."
"We had half a blanket each," interrupted Solomon Brown.

I'

";

Preaching, Then Breakfast
"But at Prairie City there was no breakfast. They told us to wait till the crowd came,
So we tightened the ropes about our bellies and waited with mouths 'Yatering. At last
people began to come in from all the surrounding country, some in wagons, some
horseback and a few afoot. It seemed that there must be grace before meat for us. The
Methodist preacher mounted the church steps and, turning, began to talk. In half an
hour we were all in tears. I shall never forget how women cried and men groaned as
the dreadful tale of border ruffianism was gone over. After the sermdn there was
common prayer. The services lasted several hours."
"I began to get pretty disgusted," said Solomon Brown. "I thought tJ;1ey might better
have been employed molding bullets than weeping and groaning so long."
"At 3 o'clock," continued the other, "church ended and the women began to bake
biscuits. It was our fIrst real meal in many days and was our last for 28 hours. While
we were eating, three border ruffian scouts were seen in the distance and Captain
Brown sent seven men after them and brought 'em in. From them we learned where
the main border ruffian camp was located and they gave us the news that the proslavery people had gone down into our own part of Kansas and made prisoners of all
the free state leaders there. Two were brothers of Solomon's, one of whom was a
member of the so-called free state legislature.
"A few men were left in charge of the prisoners, and the rest of our force at once set
our for the pro-slavery camp. McWhinney and Shore mustered 40 men to go with
Brown. Six men were added to Captain Brown's company of 11, making a total of 17.
The six were A. O. Carpenter, now in Mendocino County, Cal.; a Mr. Hill, three

and young Hugh McWhinney.
Story of the Battle
"We rode until 2 a.m. that night, fInally stopping in a post oak grove, where we tied
our horses. As we rested, John Brown told his company that they were within a mile
and a half of the enemy's camp. At the fIrst break of day, June 2, we started, all except
young Fred Brown, who was left to guard the horses. John Brown had 'talked with
Mc Whinney and Shore and told them that upon sighting the camp he would give the
command to charge, and that they should all charge right in with us.
"Within half a mile of the camp a picket saw us and fIred.
"Charge", shouted Captain Brown. Our company, without looking ba9k, rushed
down the hill to the bottom, when Captain Brown yelled "Halt" He had: seen that the
other companies, numbering 40 men, had remained behind at the top of the hill, where
they began fIring a few shots. John Brown ordered us to take to the waShed-out Santa
Fe. Trail, which ran along there, and we proceeded to use it as a rifle pit., Then the
fmng became hot on both sides. At 6 a.m. Shore rushed down the hill and set down
among us with a long face. He was hungry, he said.
" 'I'll have to go now and get my breakfast', he said..
Brown Enforces Surrender

�"'Captain Brown,' he said, 'we are getting short of ammunition. I'd better go after
some.' .And he departed. At 8 0' clock, of our diminished party Carpenter was
disabled by a shot in the elbow and Henry Thompson was shot through the lungs. One
of Shore's men had also been hit. It must have been about 9 or 10 0 ''clock when
Captain Brown came to the end of the line, where the Moores, Wien~r and I were
stationed. He had already visited the other end, where Solomon and the others were.
" , Boys,' said he, 'something must be done, or, with these fellows leaving or getting
hit we'll have no force left. Now, I'll go ahead to fmd a position to command their
camp. Follow me.'
"That's the kind of a man John Brown was.
"When about 300 yards from the camp he ordered the Moore boys, who were armed
with Sharps rifles, to kill the border ruffians' horses. 'Maybe we can scare them into
surrendering.' he said. 'We must kill no more of our enemies than we are absolutely
obliged to.'
" , I'll go down and summon them to surrender,' said Captain Brown. Bondi, you
have the poorest gun, keep close behind me; Wiener, you stay about ten yards behind
Bondi, and you Moors keep back about 25 yards with your Sharps. If I wave my hat,
everybody come rushing. '
"Captain Pate, of the pro-slavery party, sent out a prisoner with a flag of truce.
Brown sent him back, saying he would talk only with their leader. Pate then came out
with a white handkerchief.
"'What are you doing here?' demanded Captain Brown.
" 'I am here making arrests of law-breakers,' replied Pate.
" , Well,' said Captain Brown, 'I've a proposition to make to you - I want your
unconditional surrender.' At the same time he jerked out his pistol and covered Pate.
Afterward Pate made quite a roar about Captain Brown's violence to it flag of truce.
He turned to give the order to his men, but they were already laying down their arms.
They did not know that our little party was backed by so few men. Brown's bold
move did the business, though their surrender was undoubtedly hastened by the sight
of a cloud of dust they saw in the distance. The dust was raised by a party of25 FreeStaters hurrying to our aid. They had 17 wounded out of about 75 men.
"So after five hours' fighting we were in possession of the pro-slavery force that had
been the terror of the outlying districts of Kansas. H. Clay Pate was killed in the Battle
. of the Wilderness, where he was Colonel of the Second Virginia Cavalry. Brockett,
his lieutenant in the Black-jack fight, who had been the only man to resist the
surrender, was soon afterward sentenced by a court martial for indiscriminate murder
of peaceful settlers in Bourbon County, Kansas."

�PIONEER CEMETERY (ALSO CALLED PIONEER RIDGE) by Mary Burchill

':r

Pioneer Cemetery was established soon after the settlement of Lawrence, 1854, and burial was by
permission and without system or plot. It was the fIrst public burying ground for the use of
citizens of Lawrence, and was originally called Oread Cemetery. Much of the early history of
Lawrence may be reconstructed in the mind of the observer by reading the inscriptions on the
moss covered and broken head stones.
According to records, the fIrst burial was that of a young boy named Moses Pomeroy,
who died October 1, 1854, and was buried "on the hill west of Lawrence" on land donated by a
resident. The cemetery was a long way from town, two miles west over rough terrain. As far as
can be determined, the grave had no lasting marker. The earliest date on a stone is the one for
Cornelius Campbell who died on April 22, 1855.
Quantrill's raid on August 21, 1863, added many new graves to the cemetery. Most of the
victims were interred there but upon opening Oak Hill Cemetery east of Lawrence in 1865, many
bodies of Quantrill's victims were moved to the new burial ground. A suitable monument was
erected to the memory of the victims.
According to the stones remaining in the old burial grounds a large number of the victims
of the raid still rest where they were fIrst buried. The reinterment of the Quantrill victims was
carried out in 1872. Elmer E. Brown says the GAR, thru the efforts ofC.W. Smith, applied to the
government for markers for the graves of the Wisconsin soldiers and these were fmally received
and set up by Charlie Apitz under the direction of Smith. Some 20 of these markers are still in
the Pioneer plot.
The story of epidemics which swept away children is told by a large number of little
slabs bearing almost the same date. Perhaps it was scarlet fever, or diptheria, before the modem
anti-toxins of today were known.
There is also character in the monuments still standing or lying broken on the ground. We
fInd the ephermeral American policy of show in a stucco monument to the unknown dead and the
solid, enduring work of the Germans in solid granite set about with iron posts and chains which
show little wear for their exposure.
Burials are still being allowed today but space is limited. You need permission from the
University and must be cremated. It is still an active cemetery even more so since coeds sunbath
in the cemetery and students study in the quiet. It seems an appropriate use of a lovely spot.

WORLD WAR II CAMPANILE
The World War II Memorial Campanile was constructed in 1950 to honor the 277students .and
faculty who died serving their country in World War II. Their names are engraved in the Virginia
Greenstone on the east and west walls of the Memorial Room at the base of the tower. The
panels on the south doors of the Memorial Room evoke the emotions and tragedies of war while
those on the north doors depict the history of Kansas and the ideals toward which the University
and humanity continually strive.
The 120-foot Campanile, designed by Homer F. Neville and built of native Kansas
Limestone, contains a 53-bell carillon cast by the John Taylor Bell Foundry, Loughborough,
England, during 1950-51. It was dedicated on May 27, 1951, and rededicated on April 26, 1996,

II

�following an extensive renovation.
The largest bell of the KU World War II Memorial Carillon was dedicated to the :memory
of Olin Templin by the KU Endowment Association to which he served as Executive Secretary
for many years. He graduated from the University of Kansas in 1886 and returned in 1890 as the
University's ftrst professional philosopher, establishing what are now the departments of
philosophy, sociology and psychology.
The tribute to Templin by the Endowment Association was signiftcant for the fact that,
during the latter years of Templin's long tenure at the University of Kansas, he vigorously sought
to construct a carillon tower to honor the memory of the pioneering settlers of Lawrence for the
devastating hardships they had endured, especially during the Civil War years.
Unfortunately, Templin died in 1943 before the end of World War II. His dreams;.and
plans were resurrected by the Memorial Association Committee, established to determine, from
some seventeen proposals, which was the best choice for a memorial to KU's war dead.
The Campanile is an integral part of graduation each May. The procession of faculty and
graduates forms on the drive then they pass through the Campanile to begin the "walk doWn the
hill". Family and friends line the walkway as the graduates pass through then as they enter the
stadium they pass through the line of faculty. An unforgettable event.

LAWRENCE AND THE OLD TRAILS
Between Lawrence and Topeka, the Kansas turnpike passes near the route of the old OregonCalifornia Trail, traveled in the 1800s by explorers, missionaries, soldiers, emigrants in search of
land and forty-niners in search of gold. Fifteen miles south of here was the Santa Fe Trail;which
for more that 50 years served mainly as a trail of trade and commerce. From the Missouri River it
was some 2,000 miles to Oregon and California and around 800 to Santa Fe, following trails
established centuries earlier by Native Americans. Tribes living in this area during the 1800s
included the Delaware, Kaw, Kickapoo, Shawnee, and Wyandot. Markers were put along the
entire route of the Santa Fe Trail by the DAR. The majority of the trail is in Kansas.

CAPT. PATE SURRENDERS AT BLACKJACK
Flashbacks into Local History, a series, by Loren Litteer
The Baldwin Ledger, 25 March 1976

tt

tt

Last week we cut away with Missourians under Capt. Henry C. Pate and Capt. Brocket of South
Carolina raiding in the Prairie City and Palmyra areas. Capt. John Brown and Capt. Shore had
joined forces to rid the area ofthese raiders. They had send a request for reinforcements to Palmyra
and Blue Mound, but hadn't waited for Capt. Dexter and Capt. Abbott to respond. Instead Brown's
and Shore's men had marched to the headwaters of Captain's Creek where the Missourians were
camped in a grove of Black Jack oaks with their prisoners taken during earlier raids including Dr.
Graham, Rev. Moore, the Barricklows, and two of John Brown's sons, John Jr. and Jason, who had
been taken on their claims west of Osawatomie.
About three o'clock on Monday morning, June 2,1856, Brown's and Shore's men dismounted two
to three hundred yards back from the enemy and left Winninger, Henricks, Frederick, and three
others to tend the horses. They advanced in a curved line with wings outstretched. Brown was in
the center and in command. Shore's men were thrown out as skirmishers on the flanks.
They reached the summit of the hill in about a half mile. From there they looked down on Pate and
his Missourians. Brown's company attacked down the hill on the run. When they were witfiin a half
mile from Pate, the Missourians began to fire. Brown's men held their fire because their guns were
only short range. Shore's men had Sharpes rifles, and as they came into range they opened fire.
They poured in a first, a second, and a third volley. Brown ordered an advance so that his men with
the short range guns cold fire effectively.
.
The line advanced on the run, becoming somewhat broken. When they reached the Santa Fe Trail
they jumped into the gulleys that had been washed in the trail and continued to fire. Brown ordered
the men to lie down in the grass (about one to two feet tall). Shore was with Brown, but most of his
men had not made the advance and remained on the hill, a position they were unable to hold and they
left the battlefield entirely.
Dr. Graham and Rev. Moore were prisoners in Pate's camp, and not being closely guarded in the
midst of the fight, the doctor thought it a good chance to make his escape, so he slipped out of the
tent and ran for his life straight across toward Brown's men. A member of Pate's army named
Franklin Coleman fired at him several times, one ofthem wounding him severely, but he made his
escape. Rev. Moore remained in the tent until the firing had ceased and he was rescued.
Graham reported to Brown and Shore that they could capture the whole force of Pate's if they
persisted. About I p.m. Pate offered a flag of truce on the condition that they be allowed to retain
their arms; Brown refused anything but an unconditional surrender. The flag was withdraWn and
'
the battle renewed.
By this time Brown's men had worked their way into the west channel of Captain's Creek while
Pate and his men were in the east channel. They were about one-eighth mile apart.
.
Henry Thompson was the first to be injured when he was shot in the lung. Dr. Westfa1116d him
away. Carpenter had the end of his nose shot off and the bullet lodged in his shoulder. He too was
taken from the field.
All the while Brown paced up and down the ravine viewing the enemy through field glasses and

Inasmuch as the present. City of Lawrence
comprises the sites of two former cities located
on either side of the Kaw River, it became of
palticular interest to members of the North Lawrence Civic Association to investigate, during
the recent celebration of the 75th anniversary
of the City of Lawrence, the early history of that
part of the City situated nOlth and east of the
river. The purpose of this pamphlet is to make
available a permanent record of the information
. obtained by the committee which had this matter
in charge.
The Association gratefully acknowledges the
helpful assistance rendered by several of the
older residents of this part of the City who not
only supplied interesting information but also
verified or rejected data secured from other
sources. The reader is indebted also for the facilities extended by the Kansas State Historical
Society, Jomnal-World Publishing Company,
Lawrence Free Public L~brary, The Board of
Education, City of Lawrence, Union Pacific
Railway System, and others, whose records furnished much pertinent information.

site later occupied by the city of
North Lawrence was embraced in the
lands reserved for the Delaware Indians by a treaty dated September 24,
1829. From that time until 1854 these lands
were in the Indian Country or Nebraska Territory.
In May, 1854 John Baldwin, a MissoUlian,
selected a claim on what later became the townsite of Lawrence and bitterly contested his rights
for a share in the site after the arrival of the
first party of settlers from the New England.
Emigrant ~id Company.
During the following year Mr. Baldwhi obtained a charter to operate, a flat boat ferry
(drawn by rope) across the river opposite Lawrence and built a long log building for his busi. ness and dwelling on the north bank of the
river. This building was located at the foot of
the present North Third Street. C. W. Babcock,
who later served as Mayor of Lawrence was in
partnership with Mr. Baldwin for two years.
. The comparative' absence of available timber on the south banks of the river, and ,the
dense stand on the north side, caused the e~rly -,

�terials with which most of the first -structures
on the townsite of Lawrence were erected. Practically all supplies came in by wagon from
Leavenworth over a dusty and winding road
through the thick growth of timber.
Among the first settlers north of the river
were: John Morehead, a Kentuckian, who
opened the first traders' store: Dr., -G. J. Tallman, from Ohio; C. F. Saum, a carpenter from
Ohio; Thomas McCage, a merchant from New
York; O. H. Mitchell, a carpenter; M. H. Berry,
who operated a bowling alley; Isaac Tibbets, a
grocer; W. H. H. Whitney; T. S. Murray; Peter
Laptad, and others.
In a treaty between the United States and
the Delaware Indians, ratified on August 22,
1860, the government granted to Sarcoxie, Chief
of the Turtle Band, approximately 320 acres including the gl'eaterpart of the site of North
Lawrence. All of this land was transferred to
Chas. Robinson, Robert S. Stevens, and William
A.. Simpson by Sarcoxie and War-me-mar-oqua, his wife, on November. 2, 1861., Almost·
immediately afterwards, the tract was broken
up by the transfer of a strip of land to the Eastern Division of the Kansas Pacific Railroad
Company, and other smaller \ sales to settlers
who had moved to the community.
During the next two years quite a number
of dwellings were built but most of these were
of a temporary nature, poorly constructed, and

remains standing one residence which was bui!t
in 1862 by Chas. Bruce, a lumberman. It IS
located about one hundred feet west of the corner of Elm and North Seventh Streets on the
riorth side of Elm Street and is known as the
McCann property.
On September 20, 1863 the telegraph line of
the Kansas Pacific was completed to North
Lawrence but about a month too late to call
for assist~nce during Quantrill's raid on August

Construction of the first bridge across the
river was begun in the spring of 1863 by a Chicago concern and was completed in December
of that year. It consisted of four 150 foot Howe
Truss spans, thirty feet above low water mark.
Upon its completion, it was. opened as a to.ll
bridge and operated by C. W. Babcock an~ hIS
brother-in-law a man by the name of GIllet.
The operation 'of the flat boat ferry :v.as discontinued shortly thereafter by competItIOn.
The Kansas Pacific during 1863 began laying its line from Wyandotte (Kansas City) to
North Lawrence and this was completed on November 26, 1864: An excursion train came from
Wyandotte on November 28 and~ownsite co~­

right-of-way of the Union Pacific. There were
open platforms on the east and west ends of
this building. The building proper housed the
offices of the railroad officials, the' passenger
depot, and the freight depot. George Noble was
superintendent of the railroad; W. H. Bancroft,
trainmaster; W. D. Wetherell, agent.. , Regular
train service began on December 19, 1864.
It is very likely that North Lawrence first
came into existence at this time although no
formal charter was obtained from the state. A
board of trustees and town officers' including
the following were elected:, G. J. Tallman, H.
H. HO'Yard, T. McCage, M. H. Berry, James
"
", ,
Franklin, and A. C. Miller., '

A postoffice under the name of "Jefferson"
had been established and Charles F.' Saum was
appointed the first postmaster. The name "Jef-'
~erson" probably came from the fact that the
town then was' located in Jefferson County.
The legislature of 1865, however,' provided for
the formation of Grant Township out of the
southwest cornel' of Sarcoxie Township arid
made the newly formed township a part of
Douglas County. One reason for the change.
was that Lawrence was ambitious to become the
county seat and its chances of success were increased by its not being located on the extreme
edge of the county; and too, the settlers of the
new town always had been ide'ntified arid more' '-''''''

closely associated with the interests of Lawrence than with those of their own' county.
The completion of the railroad brought in
new residents, which necessitated the construe..
tion of homes and business buildings. Most of
these buildings which were erected sixty-five
years ago have since been discarded, although
their locations will be remembered by some of
, the older settlers.
,The Petrie house, a stone building on the
north side of Lincoln Street between North Second and North Third Streets, was built in 1865.
The first well in North Lawrence was located
immediately east of this house. Theretofore,
water for all purposes had been obtained from
the river.
'
The Bowersock Building on the northwest
corner of Locust and North Second Streets was
built either in 1865 or the following year and
still remains standing.
The Postoffice in 1865 was situated at the
north end of the bridge on the east side of the
street. At the present time this site is located
in the river, about the middle of the new bridge
but somewhat to the east. ' A short time later
the postoffice was moved to the west side of the
present North Second Street slightly north of its
intersection with Locust Street.

the corner of North Second and Walnut Streets

was operated by Mr. Fritz directly north of the
present site of the Union Pacific freight depot.
Orlando Darling operated a saw mill and
also a grist mill at the foot of North Fourth
Street, between Walnut and Mill Streets.
A general store was located on the east side
of North Fourth Street about two hundred feet
south of its intersection with Elm Street. A
large elm tree is still standing which was on the
north side of this store.
Charles Bruce owned a lumber yard on the
northeast corner of North Third and Locust

Company.
Across the street south from the Kansas Pacific station stood the Crandall House, the leading hotel. This was located in what is now
known as the Dauberman Building. Immediately west of this building Henry Snyder conducted a saloon and pool hall.

the paper changed its name to ,"Kaw Valley
Courier," "Clarion," and finally, "North Lawrence Journal," edited by Judge H. H. Howard.
The Kaw Valley Town Company applied for
a charter for North Lawrence on June 7, 1867.
This application was not acted upon" probably
because there was a ,bill before the legislature,
which if passed, would automatically incorporate then existing towns. This bill was passed,
by the legislature and North Lawrence became
a city of the second class. The population was
about twenty-five hundred.
At its first city election North Lawrence
chose the following officers: G. J. Tallman,
Mayor; N. HoY,.stradt, Clerk; A. R. Smith,
Treasurer; Thomas Beasely, Marshall; and H.
H. Howard, Police .Judge. The city was divided
into two wards, First and Second, correspond- '
ing to the present Fifth and Sixth Wards, respectively. 'Three councilmen were elected from
each ward.
A petition was presented to the City Council
of Lawrence on June 11, 1867"signed by North
Lawrence citizens, asking that North -Lawrence
be annexed to the City of Lawrence. This petition was signed by U. Biggs, C. Bruce,' Orlando
Darling, Samuel Tyson, Simpson Bros., Warren
P. Biggs, Leroy Crandall, and others. A protest
.to the consolidation was presented to the Council on the evening of June 12, 1867, ,by' a~,?tper=~

group of North Lawrence citizens on the
grounds that Lawrence had no legal right to
annex another municipality. This movement
was led by Dr. G. J. Tallman, W. H. H. Whitney, Thos. S. Murray, Thomas S. Hawkins,
Judge H. H. Howard, and others. However, the
City Council passed an Ordinance (No. 77) purporting to annex North Lawrence to the City of
Lawrence on the same evening. From subsequent events the ordinance was ineffective and
the attempt to annex was unsuccessful.
Immediately after the incorporation of
North Lawrence as a city, building began in
earnest and many of the buildings constructed
during 'this period still remain standing. The
present home of R. H. Rogers was built in 1867.
The brick house on the west side of NOlth Third
Street close to the city limits was built. Thos.
S. Murray built his home on the northeast corner of Lyons and North Third Streets. Judge'
H. H. Howard built a residence on the west side
of North Third Street about two hundred feet
north of the corner of Lyons and North Third
Streets. The residence of A. J. Dicker on Locust
Street, as well as his store building, were built
during this period. The Snyder property on the
northwest corner of NOlth Fifth and Walnut
Streets was erected. The Melvin home on the
southwest corner of NOl'th Seventh and _Elm
'Streets was'built. Undoubtedly, there are many
Page Thirleell

�other buildings which were erected during this
'.,
period which are still standing. " .
The old Lincoln School on the northeast
corner of North Seventh and Lincoln Streets
was the first substantial school building to be

crew of men was recruited for the repair work.
Less than ten years later, the shops were removed to Armstrong, Kansas City, Kansas.
About this time a prominent song writer and
publisher by the name of Leslie was conducting
vocal classes in all of the surrounding towns.
In 1879 the graduates of these classes were
brought together at Bismark Grove under the
name of the Leslie Choral Union. A pavilion had
been constructed that accommodated about
two thousand singers which had assembled. The
tabernacle however, was much too small to hold
between ten and twelve thousand visitors who
had arrived from all parts of the state. Railroad facilities were taxed to the utmost and a
part of the crowd came on flat cars fitted with
seats but without overhead shelter. This, jubilee continued for several days and gave the
people of Kansas their first introduction to Bismark Grove which later became the site of state
and county fairs.
State fairs, sponsored by the Union Pacific
Railway, and conducted under the direction of
the Western National Fair Association began in
1881. The mule car line was extended to Bismark Grove. Elaborate preparations were
made, including the erection of large buildings
in the grove and the establishing of a race
course east of the large building which is now .
used as a barn.- These fairs were well attended
by persons from over the entire state. The exPage Sevetlteell

�THE MARTYR'S OF KANSAS - CANTRELL
The Lawrence Herald of Freedom, 24 Oct. 1857
Let Virgil sing the praise of great heroes and patriots; let Genius celebrated merit and extol the talents of the great. The short an~ simple annal of one who,
though occupying a humble station in life, lived a bright example of stern integrity and a hero and a martyr, engrosses my pen while I record what I know of
the life and death of Jacob Cantrell.
He was born and reared In Jackson County Missouri. When the Territory of Kansas was declared open for settlement, he removed thither with his family,
settled near where Palmyra now stands, and In company with others, assisted In laying and building up that now prosperous town. Despising that spurious
aristocracy common to all communities where Slavery exists, he felt, as he remar1&lt;ed to me one day that he had entered a new wortd. Bated with the
prospect of speedily securing a fortune and the great blessing and privilege of rearing and educating his children in a free commu~ity, he entered into all our
plans of Improvement, both in church and State, with a hearty will and a ready co-operation.
One year prior to moving to Kansas he lived upon the farm of Otho Hall, a slave-holder and hauled produce to the dty of Lawrence, then a new town, very
scarce of provisions. He had the words "Kansas a Free State," painted in large letters upon his wagon cover. Meeting Hall one day as he was returning for a
load of supplies, Hall noticed the letters upon the wagon and, in ruffian style, well armed as he was, commenced cutting the letters out - After effecting this,
he threatened Cantrell's life and commenced striking at him with his knife, cutting him severely.-- Cantrell being wholly unarmed, called to two men
(neighbors of Hall) standing near, not to let Hall kill him with out some chance for his life- appealing to their chivalry and honor. They were deaf to his
entreaties, and Cantrell saved his life by starting his team as quick and driving as fast as possible. Cantrell had Hall brought before the Court at
Independence, charged with assault with intent to kill. The two witnesses swore that Hall was intoxicated. Hall, was discharged; such is the justice In a ProSlavery Court.
Through the Spring of 1856 the whole country was in a state of revolutionary confusion. The Territory was filled with marauding parties; men were being
robbed and murdered dally. For mutual protection, the dtizens of Palmyra and vldnlty assembled, armed and equipped. Among them was Jacob Cantrell,
ever ready without the slightest murmur to shoulder his Sharp's rifle and go forth to defend the lives and property of the emigrants In his vidnlty. In this
respect he had a soul larger than the State of Missouri. At the battle of Black Jack he recognized some of his Pro-Slavery neighbors among the prisoners,
and Insisted on having them treated kindly, himself furnishing them provisions. Col. Sumner marched to Palmyra with the United States troops, released Pate
and his men, ordered them to return to their homes in Missouri, disbanded Brown, the hero of Black Jack, (not G. W. Brown;) the men returning to their
homes. relying upon Sumner for protection. Upon his way to his home in Palmyra, he stepped in at Prairie City, purchased some butter for his family,
starting for Palmyra (three miles distant) in company with Leonard Snyder and W. H. Stilwell, neighbors. The minions of Pate upon their way home came
across them, and, recognizing Cantrell, compelled him to accompany them. Stopping at his house, he told his wife, who was almost distracted at seeing him
a prisoner not to be alarmed, that they were his neighbors, and would not hurt him. Extending his hand with the plate of butter, telling her to take it and not
be afraid, one of the ruffians intercepted it, saying that they would need it for their supper. They soon left taking Mr. Cantrell with them. Mr. Stillwell went
ImmediatelY to Col. Sumner, told him that the very men he had ordered to Missouri had taken Jacob Cantrell a prisoner while they were returning, not more
than a mile from his camp.-- Col. S. promised to send a detachment for him the next day, stating that he had given their orders to commit no outrages on
their way; also, that the troops were all tired, and that Cantrell would not be harmed. Oh! that was an indifference more fatal than treason on the part of
Col. Sumner. He was heard to say, when he heard of the death of Cantrell, that he never could forgive himself.
They took Mr. Cantrell next day to Cedar Creek, 35 miles from Palmyra, there shot and scalped him, burying him about two feet deep. The wolves dug him
up. Subsequently the soldiers buried him near that beautiful stream, surrounded by high weeds, with only a stake over his remains, on it inscribed, "Jacob
Cantrell".
On the 2d day of July last, I was traveling in Lykens County, K. T. I stopped for the night with Judge Butts (township 16, range 22). Our conversation related
to the difficulties of the past summer. I found him to be a Pro-Slavery man. I mentioned the murder of Cantrell as an outrage unparalleled, and that I would
do my utmost to bring his murders [sic] to justice whenever the Government passed into different hands. The Judge was formerly from Jackson County, Mo.;
knew Mr, /Cantrell there; was under Col. Coffee when Whitfield marched to Pate's relief; saw Cantrell at Cedar Creek a few hours before they murdered him,
lying upon his back, with his hands tied, and a quadruple guard aroJJnd him. The judge says, nI went to Mr. C., and there was quite a crowd around him.
One approached him saying "Mr. Cantrell, I am sorry to find you among our enemies and fighting your old neighbors." "Your dan invade [sic] my home,"
was Cantrell's reply. "Will you join us against the abolitionist if you could get your freedom? If we release you will join your old neighbors to driving these
damned fanatiCS from.our border?" With the thoughts of home, life, wife, children, burning his heart, he said, "No Never." ''Then you die,'by G_d!' Juc1ge B.,
went to Pate and Whitfield; and told them to use their authority to prevent his murder. They said they had no authority. In forty-five minutes afterwai"d
Jacob Cantrell was no more. He died a martyr. Oh! that more could have witnessed his heroic end. He had seen and felt the influence of that hydra-headed

�-- How Safe Are Your Genealogy Documents? by Pam Cerutti
Today's genealogists gather lots of data online and on CDs. They also
have the ease and convenience of genealogy programs to store their
resulting family history on a computer. However, the accumulation of
paper remains pretty much unavoidable. We have copies of book pages,
newspaper clippings, courthouse papers, and correspondence, to name but
a few examples. Then there are the old photos collected from family
members we convinced to part with such treasures, and even 35 mm slides.
Now that we have them, how do we preserve them?
Conscientious collectors of family history papers preserves them in
acid-free protectors and stores them in a safe location with stable,
controlled temperature and humidity levels. Then they hope that disaster
doesn't strike that location.
We hear about major disasters like floods, hurricanes, and tornados that
devastate homes and the family treasures their occupants stored in them.
Even a small, localized problem in a home can wipe out irreplaceable
documents - an electrical fire, a burst water pipe, or a curious child,
pet, or perhaps an unwelcome critter, Sometimes a family member may
borrow papers or photos to show to someone, and the carefully preserved
goods get damaged or even lost. It's a sickening feeling to consider the
possible fate of these documents! Safeguarding them amounts to a
daunting responsibility.
One approach that has given me some peace of mind is to scan my
priceless papers anq ~ictures. I gathered a set of documents at a time,
hooked up my scanne~ to my computer and spent some evenings converting
them to digital files. I organized folders on my computer to mimic my
/ steel file cabinet and gave each converted document a name that

�describes its content. Once scanned, the hard copy document went into
storage for safekeeping.
The beauty of the digitized documents is that I can copy them over and
over, and each one looks just as good as my original scan. In fact, my
scans look even better than many of the faded photos, yellowed news
clippings, and deteriorated pages I had to start with, thanks to the
software that comes with a scanner. By previewing each scan before
finalizing it, I had the chance to darken or lighten it, increase
contrast, or even sharpen up fuzzy photos. I'll admit that some photos
were old enough to warrant extra touch-up with additional photo editing
software, but that's a job I can do over time. The important thing is
that my documents are no longer at high risk of permanent loss.
Storing digitized documents on a single computer is only slightly better
than having them ~n pa~,= ~ a shoebox. Computers ~ave limited lives, as

-----

do storage media. The plan is not complete until you distribute copies
of your documents in multiple locations. I have given CDs of my
documents to family members around the country, and I will repeat the
distribution with DVDs and future generations of media. Just as it's
hard to find equipment that reads floppy disks or Zip disks today, the
data you share is only as safe as the media used to share it. To carry
it a step further, you might take advantage of an online file storage
service, as I have.
If you haven't converted your paper treasures to a digital format, I
have good news for you. Today's scanners do a very nice job for a very
reasonable price. There are many models available for under $100. Just
be sure to choose one that gives you good quality output for all the
documents you need to preserve: text, photos, and perhaps slides. Then ~
"

get started. Perhaps you, too, will sleep better.

�CORNER STONE CEREMONY FOR METHODIST
CHURCH WILL BE HELD SUNDAY
The Baldwin Ledger, 14 Aug. 1931
Many interesting articles will go into box which will be laid inside the Stone.
Current Issue of the Ledger will be there.
The laying of the corner stone of the new $100,000 Methodist Episcopal church will
take place Sunday August 16, at four 0' clock in the afternoon. Baldwin is expecting a
large crowd to be present at these ceremonies. Many prominent churchmen from out of
town have sent work to the committee in charge that they expect to be present.
The new church takes the place of the old brick church which was destroyed by fire
on Sunday morning November 30, 1930. It was on [illegible] 4, 1901 that the corner
stone of the old church was laid. Bishop Warren performed the official act of laying
the stone. It was not until February 14, 1904, that the new church was dedicated. The
fact that nearly three years elapsed between the laying of the corner stone and the fmal
dedication indicates that funds were not easily obtained at that time. Dr. S. S. Murphy,
President L. H. Murlin, and Bishop Hughes officiated at the dedicatory exercises.
The new church building is being built of Bedford sawed stone with. a modification
of the early English type of architecture. As the new structure emerges, Phoenix like,
from the ashes of the old, it slowly sheds its crude coverings and assumes an
appearance of massive beauty. One can picture an old ivy covered English stone
church of a few generations ago. The new building is being built for permanence. As
the walls arise, one is impressed with the magnitude of technical detail that the
architects have worked into the structure to give it beauty and strength.. This building
will doubtless stand long after the present generation has passed on.
The box taken from the corner stone of the burned church was opened this week by
the Board of Trustees of the church and it was found to contain the following articles:
A King James version of the Holy Bible
a catalogue of Baker University, 1901
a Methodist Hymnal
a copy of the Baldwin Ledger of May 31, 1901, W. C. Markham, editor
a supplement of the Ledger under date line of June 7, 1901
a copy of the Baldwin Republican, May 31, 1901, pub. by Gunn &amp; Webster
minutes of the South Kansas Conference, 1901, held at Eureka, Kansas
minutes of the 46th session of the Kansas Conference, 1901, held at Topeka,
Kansas

day should be very warm.
The Building Committee of the church deserves much praise for the good work that it
has done in bringing the new building to its present state of construction. These
officials have worked without ceasing and without pay to bring to Baldwin an edifice
that will be a credit to the entire community, to the local church, to Methodism in
general, and to Baker University. As the work of building advances enthusiasm
increases and the doubting Thomases and the self appointed critics find themselves in
a rapidly diminishing minority.
Wiley A. Keve, the pastor, has overcome many of the difficulties that have beset the
committee, by the energy, optimism, and his wide experience and acq~tanceship.
Mention should also be made of the former pastor Rev. Holman who rendered
valuable service in the early stages of the building program.

Ethics in Publishing Family Histories
Facts can't be copyrighted.
I was surprised when a friend of mine who practices copyright law first passed this information on to me. Reflecting on this
statement, it makes sense. How could anyone claim copyright to the name of the ship on which their immigrant ancestor
sailed, or the date of death of their great great grandfather, or the amount that an ancestor paid in monthly rent?
Recent legal opinion has even decided that certain compilations of facts, such as telephone directories, are not subject to
copyright.
But what about compiled genealogies? What can I include in a published genealogy without infringing on someone else's
rights? And what rights do I have to the compilations I produce?
Genealogists generally like to share their discoveries by compiling a family tree and providing it to family members
or other people who are researching the same line. Many genealogists share their discoveries online, posting GEDCOM
files to sites such as RootsWeb, Ancestry.com, or to one of the new Web 2.0 applications for collaborative efforts in
Family History Research.
On more than a few occasions, I've read tales of how someone shared their pedigree with someone else, only to find their
own work published on the Internet without permission, often without any citation of the source of the pedigree.
Those whose hard work has been published without their consent have sometimes been furious about having their work
published.
So, what recourse does someone have when they find their work published without their consent and without
attribution? Do those who produce compiled genealogies own copyright to their cOlppilations of names, dates, and
locations?
The facts themselves are not copyrightable. That much is clear. Certain compilations such as phone books are not
copyrightable. But what about compiled genealogies?
Since compiled genealogies involve discovering relationships, finding facts in unusual locations, arid carefully assembling
the information to reflect the structure and organizations of ancestral families, complied genealogies are probably
considered creative works and, therefore, are probably protected by copyright. The owner of the copyright to a compiled
genealogy would probably have available whatever recourse is available under the applicable copyright laws.
So, can I incorporate several generations of genealogical information compiled by someone else into my own family
history and publish the work without permission of the original compiler? Frequently, compiled genealQgies are published
without information about the person who conducted the research or compiled the work. But, anonymous works are still
protected under the copyright laws.
I don't knqw the answers to these questions. I'm not a copyright attorney and my opinions are mine alone. As others
including footnoteMaven have recently pointed out, even the opinion of someone licensed to practice law is only an
opinion. Decisions on copyright issues are generally made by the courts.
To protect the integrity of my work, I can:

�Ethics in Publishing Family Histories I Steve's Genealogy Blog

Page 3 of16

• Incorporate information from other compiled genealogies into my own only after obtaining copies of source material
used to support that information.
• Where appropriate, cite the original compiled genealogy as a source. This source will be a derivative source, but a
source, nonetheless.
• Where possible, obtain permission from the original compiler before incorporating the work into my own published
genealogy.
What about sources? Many of the sources genealogists use in their work are publicly available sources such as vital
records, census records, and immigration records. Some sources, though, are oral histories, letters, diaries, phone
conversations, and e-mail communications. Each of these sources is protected by copyright in and of themselves.
Generally, citing sources without reproducing the original work is considered acceptable.
Still, great aunt Marge may not want her private letters to me cited as a source in a published genealogy.
And what about information on living individuals? Genealogists agree that it is never acceptable to publish information on
living individuals in a publicly available medium. How about publishing information on living individuals in a family
history available only to those named in the work? What about publishing potentially sensitive information such as
illegitimate births, same sex relationships, and causes of death?
To avoid disenfranchisement of my relatives and the sources of personal communications, I can:
• Request permission to include personal communications as sources in compiled genealogies.
• Never publish information about living individuals in a publicly published genealogy.
• Request permission to mclude information about living individuals in family histories destined for distribution to
family members.
.
• Request permission to include potentially sensitive information from those who might be impacted by publishing that
information.
These suggestions will be difficult to reduce to practice. Even if I get permission from the person most closely affected by
potentially sensitive information, some other member of the family may be aghast that the information is included.
While my decisions may not always be perfect, I'll evaluate the information I intend to publish and decide what to include
and what information for which to request permission on a case-by-case basis. And I'll certainly have to consider whether
something I publish has the potential to harm someone else.
Even this approach is not without an ethical dilemma. By choosing not to report certain information I may risk
compromising the integrity and accuracy of my work.
What to do? Well, I'll do the best that I can.

�Introduction

Compiling the information included in this Historical account,
along with our memories of Grandma Florys narrations of these
events has been enjoyable.

She was 2 years old when their family

and caravan arrived at Westport Landing (K.C.) and near 10 years
old when Quantrills men raided their home.
We have quoted occasionally from "History of the Church of
the Brethren in Kans." by Elmer LeRoy Craik and greatly appreciate
the permission to use this by Susan Taylor and Raymond Flory of
McPherson Coliege.
We were also aided by relatives and friends in many ways:
old paper clippings, typing, editing, and suggestions.
It is our prayer and desire that the efforts in compiling
this information may be a means of

s~rengthening

our Faith in the

"God of our Fathers," and increasing our appreciation for the
Heritage we are the recipients of, including the responsibility
of "earnestly contending for the Faith which was once delivered
unto the saints," for our posterity, and others who answer the call.
May we be found ready and waiting for His Return is our prayer.

The Ulrich family trace their lineage to a group of G~rman
people who became restless under religious persecution in Germany,
and migrated to Holland in 1705.

After residing there several

years they received a promise of religious freedom in the English
colonies or America, so they embarked for the coast of England,
where they boarded ships for the perilous journey across the
Atlantic ocean.
In this group was one Jacob Ulrich, then a lad of about 16
years, who sailed on the ship, Pennsylvania, from Plymouth, England,
and entered this country Sept. 11, 1732.

They landed at New

York, but at the invitation of Wm. Penn, they migrated to Pennsylvania.
According to legal records and early Wm. Penn history, we are
told the Ulrich family obtained land from the Wm. Penn government,
and settled near Roaring Spring, then a frontier town.
Records indicate that a John Ulrich, born in Pa. in 1764,
married Christena Brumbaugh, daughter of Conrad Brumbaugh 9f
Bedford county Pa. and raised a family.

His wife Christena died

and he later married Elizabeth Clapper.

The Ulrich family built

and operated flour mills in that area.
John Ulrich Sr. started to Indiana in 1821 to attend a sale
of public land at Richmond, Indiana.

He rode h6rseback from

Roaring spring, Pa. spending the winter at Dayton, Ohio before
going on to the sale at Richmond, Ind.

He could

speak English

so when he bid he held up one finger for one dollar and then
with the forefinger on his right he made a sign on the forefinger
on the left hand of one quarter more to indicate he had bid $1.25
per acre.

He had bid off 1200 acres of land on Nettle Creek

for $1500.00.
in gold.

He had this much money along in his saddle bag

He had obtained it from the sale of the Mill and Mill

Seat at Roaring Spring.

This Mill he had operated.since 1795

and it had been willed to him by his father Daniel Ulrich
the year 1781.

in~

John Ulrich Sr. had eight children and to each

he willed a share of this 1200 acres which he purchased in Wayne
county, Ind.
John Ulrich Sr. and his second wife Elizabeth and their family
moved to Wayne county in 1822, locating northwest of Five Points
along Nettle Creek, and built a log cabin there.

In this way she was

able to keep away unwelcome visitors.
These early families were all members of the German Baptist
Brethren, then called Dunkers.
Sept. 12, 1932 Hagerstown,

Ind. celebrated the 100th Anniversary

on that day, of the founding of the town by Jacob Ulrich, a son
of John Ulrich Sr.

We are told that in the cemetary nearby are

the graves of John, and Elizabeth Ulrich, his second wife.

This

Jacob Ulrich, being our Great Grandfather, is the one weare
attempting to trace from here on in this article.

We know that

he had brothers and sisters but we have only sketchy data of
them in our files.

She was born Oct. 20, 1853 and died Feb. 10,

She married Wesley Flory, also the youngest of 13 children,

on Jan. 22, 1871.

He was born Jan. 31, 1852 and died Sept. 23,
I

1927.

They had 3 sons and 3 daughters; Elmer L., Ira C., and

Abraham J., Mary Postma, Elnora Brohammer and Christena Beeghley.
Grandma's parents, Jacob and Mary (Hoover) Ulrich were some
of the earliest German Baptist Brethren settlers in Kansas.
Previous to 1855, Jacob had made two trips to Kansas territory
on horseback, as one of his sons later described him, "a sort
of natural rover."

His objective was eastern Kansas but on one

of these trips he went as far as Ft. Riley.
Disposing of his property early in 1855, Jacob headed a caravan
of 11 covered wagons bound for Kansas.

--

�Henry Messenheimer and family,

David Longanecker,

and the Evans

family (who stopped 50 miles east of St. Louis in ~.d.) ..

Their

route took them through Indianapolis, Terra Haute, St. Louis,
and Kansas City,

(then named {'iestport Landing).

They airived at Westport Landing Oct.

20, 1855 and decided

to spend the winter there where the comforts of life were easier
to obtain than on the Kansas side.

Accordingly they camped at

Wyandotte, doing their trading at Parkville, Mo., ten miles up
the Missouri River.

Kansas ~ity was originally a fur trading

post while called Westport Landing.

Later in 1838 it was organized
.,

under the name Kansas, but spelled "Kanzas", after a tribe of
Kanza Indians.

Kansas bacame a Territory in 1854 and a State

in 1861 and was probably named after the Kanza Indians.

The

present name of Kansas City was adopted in 1889.
Our Grandmother, Susannah, was a young traveler of 2 years
old when they arrived at Westport Landing.

We are told that

after her father Jacob sold his Indiana property including the
Mills, he converted the money into gold which he put in the bottom
of their covered wagon hidden under a false floor.
According to World Encyclopedia the first bridge across the
Missouri river was completed in 1869, so we suppose these covered
wagons, horses and people crossed the river by ferryboat to Ks.
In March 1856 these immigrants started out on the old Santa Fe
trail for Breckenridge county,

(now Lyon county Ks.), where they

had found a favorable location through the help of Peter Ikenberry,
also from Ind.

The "float titles" were used to secure for'Ulrich

2 sections of good Wyandotte Indian land, 10 miles southwest
of the present city of Emporia.

Other members of the Ulrich

party settled in the vicinity of the future city of Emporia.
Jacob's son Daniel was present when the first load of material
was unloaded preparatory to erecting the first building in Emporia.
These frontiersmen had much labor to do in preparing homes
in a new land but their spiritual welfare was also their concern.
In the summer of 1856, the first congregation of German Baptist
Brethren to be organized in Kansas was established under the
name "Cottonwood Church".
and wife,

Charter members were; Jacob Ulrich

I. B. Hoover, Peter Ikenberry, Gabriel Jacobs and ;wife

and daughter and David Longanecker.

The first sermon preached

�by a German Baptist Brethren minister was in the summer of 1856
by Gabriel Jacobs who had moved there from Deleware county Ind.
and had taken a claim 12 miles south of Emporia.

The first love

feast in Kansas was in Jacob Ulrich's home in Dec.

1856.

They soon became dissatisfied with this location, close to
the Cottom.;ood river, the "ague" (malaria) becoming a problem
and the closest physician was 50 miles distant so again they
made plans to move.

The Ellers and Messenhimers went to'Iowa,

the Ulrichs went to Douglas county Ks., and the Holsingersremained
there.
The first correspondence from Kansas found in the "Gospel
"

Visitor" is from the pen of Jacob Ulrich Dec. 30, 1856; "There
are but few members here and only one laborer in the Word,.
holds meeting every four weeks in rotation.
Jacobs.

He

His name is Gabriel

We now live on the Cottonwood river, 20 miles south

of Council Grove; but we intend, God willing, by the first of
March to move 8 miles south of La'iYr'l:!nce to a place called Hickory
Point, near the Santa Fe road.

This is a pleasant and fertile

country, the climate mild and good for a prairie country, and
it is hoped that peace, one of the greatest comforts and blessings
of thi s world, is once more restored in Kansas; thi s i s 'the genera 1
belief here".
An account in "History of the Church of the Brethren in Kansas"
by Craik says,

"

"more than any other man, Jacob Ulrich put ,Kansas

on the map as far as the Brethren were concerned, communicating
by letter and through the pages of the Gospel Visitor, encouraging
families and ministers to move westward."

In Church history

we find Jacob spoken of as a Deacon, but we do not find when
or where he was elected, probably before they moved from Ihdiana.
The Brethren had entered Kansas during a period of violence
and peace was much longed for.

The Wakarusa war ended in Dec.

1855, but that was not the end of the struggle, for on May 21,
1856 Sherrif Jones entered and sacked Lawrence and 3 days later
John Brown executed the Pottawatomie massacre.

Border ,·rarfare

set in for the next 4 months, Missourians against Kansans, pro
slavery men against free state men.

After the arrival of Governor

Geary, the third territorial governor, and after Sept. 1856 lawlessness
subsided for some time.

�5

After getting settled in Douglas county, about 8
of Lawrence and a mile east of 59 Highway on

wha~

mile~

south

is now known

as the Plummer place, Jacob Ulrich became a mover in organizing
the few members who came with them from Cottonwood or had come
directly to Douglas County.

One of the newcomers was Elder Abraham

Rothrock from Pennsylvania, who had been attracted to Kansas by
Bro. Ulrich's articles in the Church paper, and he became ·the
first elder of the Brethren in Kansas.

Before the

organi~ation,

services were held in the Ulrich schoolhouse.
This organization occurred in 1858 in Stephen Studebaker's
log house about 4 miles southwest of Pleasant Grove with 12 members.
Abraham Rothrock and wife, Stephen Studebaker and wife, Daniel
Studebaker and wife, Daniel Keeny and wife, Jacob Markley and
wife, Isaac Hoover and David Kinzie.

An election was held with

Daniel Studebaker chosen for minister and Isaac Hoover for deacon.
Bro. Rothrock was elder in charge.

This.was close to the house

where Laurie and Edith Postma lived.
By all historical records we can find,

the Pleasant Grove

meeting house, built in 1877 may have been the first one built
in Kansas by G. B. brethren.

A couple years after 1881 Brethren

at Willow Springs took their stand with the Old Orders, organized
in 1883 and built their meeting house at its present location,
with 46 charter members.

A list of these charter members will

follow the last page of this historical record.
The next several years were troublous times for the new settlers
including the brethren.

Grandma said they would see Indians occasionally

but they were peaceful.
Border conflicts by pro slavery activists became a problem,
as most of the Kansas settlers wanted it to be a free

state~

Slaves would escape from the south and east seeking refuge across
the borders, and were helped by "free staters."

The "Underground

Railroad" was the popular name given to the secret means employed
by the Northerners and Free staters, in assisting Negro slaves
to escape from slave states before and during the Civil War.
Homes of Northern sympathizers were used as hiding places where
they were given food,

rest, and hjding, moving north by night

until Canada, their goal of freedom, was reached.

It was estimated

Confederate guerrilla bands.

On Aug.

21, 1863 such

a band was led by William Quantrill, who with three hundred or
more desperadoes, early on the morning of the day mentioned, swooped
down on the defenseless town of Lawrence, KS.

In a few hours about

150 persons were killed and from one to two million dollars worth
of property was destroyed by fire.

The drunken and infuriated

mob left Lawrence burning late in the forenoon, going

dir~ctly

south towards the farm of Jacob Ulrich and reaching there near
noon.

The aged brother was not aware of their malicious ~ntentions,

but two of his sons, John and Daniel, and son-in-law, Joseph Shively,
rescued the family and they all fled to the woods, while Quantrill's
band helped themselves to the food before setting fire to the
house where many valuable papers and records perished.

The $2500.00

barn with it's well filled bins and hay mow went up in smoke.
The total loss was about $6000.00 which was a considerable' sum
in those days.

Grandma Flory would tell us this story as she

remembered it, as she was nearly 10 years old at that time.

Soon

after Quantrill's men left, they must have seen the barn was not
burning, as Jacob and his sons had come
out.

ba~k

and ptit the fire

The raiders returned and set it on fire again and it burned.

Grandma said when they came back from the woods a horse was tied
to a tree nearby and the rider lying on the ground drunken.

One

of her brothers said "We'll shoot him," but her father said, "No,
let him go."

This is a good example of their non-resistant home

teaching.
Grandma's father, Jacob, was just recovering from an illness
at that time and he did not long survive the shock and exposure.
He died Nov.

24, 1863, just 3 months later.

Grandma told of another home where Quantrill's men approached
a woman in the doorway.

Upon being told to "Get out, we are burning

all the houses," she told them if they would help carry out;this
one rug she had rolled up, they could have everything else.' They
did so, not knowing her husband was rolled up in the rug!

At

another home a man was dressed in his wife's clothes and they

�7

were both spared.

Word had gotten around of the raiders :'approaching

and their malicious intentions.

We do not remember hearing the

names of these people.
The raiders approached the horne of Elder Abraham Rothrock,
"

southeast of the Ulrich horne and he had been warned of their approach
and hid in a cornfield but when he saw his wife and daughter being
mistreated by the ruffians he returned to the house.

As he stood

near the open cellar door and tried to reason with the men, his
,vife said,

"Don't hurt him, he's a preacher."

"I'll show you what we do to preachers"
shoot him.
and sa id,

The raider' said,

and pulled his guri to

One of his fellows behind him grabbed his gun arm
"I f you shoot him,

into the cellar.

I'll shoot you," so he pushed Rothr.ock

This is the way Grandma told us, although some

others have it that he was shot three times and fell into the
cellar.

Bro. Rothrock was wounded but Daniel Ulrich help~d carry

him out of the cellar, also a man named Campbell helped

t~em,

as the ruffians had left after setting fire to the house.
Rothrock survived the injuries and lived until 1870.

Bro.

Through

it all he never deviated from his conscientious principles,.
he lay in bed a neighbor who was a Baptist preacher named

While

Tu~ker

called on him, and thinking to discover a weakening in the elder's
views asked,

"Mr. Rothrock, what would you do if you had those

men (the guerrillas) in your power now?"
prostrate man replied,

Quick as a flash the

"I would convert everyone of them!"

"Well,"

said the neighbor, "that beats my religion."
The original Santa Fe trail was one of the longest roads of
the period that preceded the railroad.

From Independence, 'Mo.

(Westport Landing) to Santa Fe, New Mexico the distance was 775
miles by way of Dodge City and Cimmaron Ks., although a longer
route through Garden City, Ks., and Bents Fort,Colorado was' 850
miles, but much safer.

Occasional trips between these points

were made as early as 1804, but wagon traffic was more regular
after 1821.

Because of conflicts with Indians,

a party large enough to defend themselves.

it was usually

A wagon train usually

consisted of 26 wagons, each drawn by ten oxen or mules.

Each

wagon carried about 6000 lbs. and' a days journey was 17 mile,s.
For many years, the traders made only one trip a year, but by
1860, there were trains leaving every few days.

A little over a mile east of Willow Springs Meeting house
in a timber pasture area, we found a rocky mound when I was a
boy, with a native stone marker with the inscription chiseled
on

_w,

"Sar.a Snelling, May 23,

1849, age 82."

This was very close

to the original Santa Fe Trail.
We have a map of Douglas County, 1858, that shows the proposed
railroad routes and a proposed town with 10 square blocks in the
present Willow Springs Meeting house area.

We are told there

was a post office where the Sante Fe Trail-Willow Springs'marker
is at Warren Shucks corner, also a store for travellers ~6 get
supplies, a hotel and a spring in the field southwest of there
to get water.

This store was still there past the year 1900.

Because the railroad built farther east to avoid the Pleasant
Grove hill, and went through Baldwin on to Ottawa, the plans for
building a town at Willow Springs did not materialize.
As of 1992, the Willow Springs

C~urch

district meetinghouse

still stands and holds regular meetings every Sunday morning or
Sunday night.

The membership is 78 now, with 4 ministers and

5 deacons.

was chosen to the ministry, Uncle Chris Flory was ordained an elder
and others moved here including Reed Wells.

THE ULRICH CEMETERY
In a secluded spot, about three miles southeast from Pleasant
Grove,

~here

is a silent city--the last earthly resting place

of those of our brave pioneer forefathers who lived in this community.
By their sides, also,

lie some of their descendants.

This plot of ground was given for this purpose by Benjamin
Ulrich, whose father, Jacob Ulrich, pre-empted from the government
the farm of which this cemetery was a part.

It was named the

Ulrich Cemetery and deeded to the association, the first trustees
of which were: Adam Kling, Samuel Baker, and John Bower.
It is not known who was first laid to rest here but it, is probable
that it was Sarah Ulrich, a daughter of Jacob and Mary Ulrich.
(1857) Travel in those days being slow and communication much
slower, the father and mother were returning from a visit:in

th~ir

horne state, happy in the thought of again being with their family,
but were met with the sad news that·death had suddenly snatched
from the horne their beloved daughter, and her form now rested
beneath the prairie sod.
As we wander from grave to grave and read the

inscr~ptipns

thereon, we find the names of the parents or grandparents

of us who are now present; or of their friends of whom we have
often heard.
Here lies Jacob Ulrich, born July 10, 1803, died Nov. 24, 1863,
and beside him his wife, Mary Hoover Ulrich, born Dec. 3, 1808,
died Oct. 22, 1883.

He was born in Pennsylvania, on a farm which

is now the site of the city of Roaring Spring.

This tract"of

land was deeded in 1781 by Daniel Ulrich to his son, John, father
of Jacob.
In the course of time Jacob Ulrich and his father turned their
steps westward, locating in Indiana, where they built and operated
flour mills and were instrumental in founding the city of Hagerstown
in 1832.

The Indiana homes of both John and Jacob Ulrich are

still in a good state of preservation.

of which this cemetery is a part.

Here he spent his remaining

years in loyal devotion to his church, his neighbors and his family.
Although during the famine years (1859-1861) he disbursed thousands
of dollars of relief money, sent from the East, he would not accept
one cent for his services, nor would he allow one cent to be used
to feed the many hungry people who came to his door, but performed
this service from his own resources.
He was just recovering from an illness when Quantrill and his
band who had just sacked Lawrence, arri ved, burned the large ho" 3e
and the well filled graneries.

He did not long survive the shock.

His sons, Benjamine, John, Daniel, Jacob, and Henry and his daughters,
Christena Metsker, Ann Cook, Mary Shively, and Susannah Flory,
remained in Douglas County, where they built homes, reared families
and contributed to the wellfare of their respective communities.
Their decendants, at their annual reunion in Lone Star, have-an
average attendance of about two hundred.

Let us pause now to consider the heritage left us by those
who sleep in this cemetery.

A heritage of houses and fields, of

pastures and woodlands, of school houses and church buildings?
Yes,

A heritage of faith, courage and endurance,

of love of neighbor, of country and of God.

the abiding values for which their lives stood.

�The Preacher's
Message
Ken, a preacher of Jesus Christ, to all the co-workers
in Christ Jesus together with the elders: grace to you
and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus
Christ.
I encourage you to love God and to recognize we are
called for the purpose of conformity to Christ.
This church directory marks the 85th year of the North
Lawrence Christian congregation and the seventh year
of our ministry to God with you. We have shared together in sorrow and joy; in death and in life. We
have experienced loss and gain. We are again reminded
of Romans 8:28, "and we know that in all things God
works for the good of those who love Him who have
been called according to His purpose." Let us use
this directory to pray and promote one another and
our Lord.

A HISTORY OF OUR CONGREGATION

The history of the North Lawrence Christian Church dates from 1894, when the Evangelist, Charles Sharp,
held an evangelistic meeting for the Christian Church in

Bunn'~

Grove in North Lawrence. During this

meeting several families from that part of the city became members. After the meeting these members met
and voted to establish a congregation in North Lawrence.
The first services were held in the Home Aid Building, 324 Locust Street. This building was used for all
kinds of meetings. It has since been set back from the street and remodeled into a residence. The membership moved into Dicker's Hall, 7th and Locust Streets, after moving from this building.
The present site was purchased from Alfred J. and Elizabeth G. Dicker, September 26, 1896. The men of
the church broke ground and laid the foundation. Then came the long hard struggle to raise funds for the
building.
Once every summer the Sunday School would hold its annual picnic at Stiner's Grove north and east of
Lawrence on the Stiner farm. Through these picnics William Stiner became so interested in the church that
he told the members he would lend them $1,000.00 if they could raise the balance.
The cornerstone with the names of the Charter members placed within was laid in 1896. Some of the Charter members were Mr. and.Mrs. W. H. Smith, Mr. and Mrs. William Foster, Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Manning,
Mrs. Jerd Tyson, and Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Martin. Most of the carpentry work was done by George McCleary,
assisted by Claude Dicker and by the men of the church.
Howard Willis was the first preacher of the new congregation. Some of the preachers who succeeded him
were: McHale, Stull, Finkle, Meyers, Holyfield, Popplwell, Thomas, Barnard, Figs, Elder, Friezen, Mrs.
Dorothy Wright Shank, Coatney, Clark W. Comstock, Leonard Wymore, Gilbert Yerian, Leroy Crocker,
Jack Nickelson, J. A. Wilton, Wesley· Keltcher, Maurice Bigger, Ernest W. Burke, Jack McCall, Tom Simmons, Richard Southard, John L. King, and our present preacher, Kenneth R. Mason.
The first Superintendent of the Sunday School was William Foster. The present Sunday School Superintendent is Hubert Pritchett. Elders of the congregation are Landis Penfold, Lyle Colburn and Hubert Pritchett.

�We believe in the Lordship of Christ and the sovreignty of God. We believe
Jesus is no less than God, yet He was a real flesh and blood man. Without
Him we are nothing. With Him we have infinite worth, value and purpose
in this life and the life to come. Our goal in this congregation of God's people is to know Him and to make Him known; to love Him totally and to
love each other in the Body of Christ. We are learners and servants enrolled·

History of Silkville
by Janelle Richardson
Great-Great-Granddaughter of Early Settler Claude Clair

Silkville was n()t/a town. It was an attempt to form a socialistic commune on a large tract of land of 3500
acres, located about three miles sou~' of the small town of Williamsburg, Kansas in southwest, Franklin
County. Today it is a working ranch called the Silkville Ranch.

Silkville was first established and named in 1869 when a wealthy Frenchman, E.V. de Boissiere, purchased the
unimproved land to form a commune based on the Fourierist socialistic principles. He had ~ dream that
Silkville would be a self-sustaining rural cooperative educational and industrial community where participants
would share the wealth. Workers had to pay their own way and be self-supporting until profits were made.

De Boissiere was described as an intelligent, portly man in his sixties who loved books, music, and helping the
underprivileged. He was born June 9, 1810 near Bordeaux, France, into an aristocratic family, but made a
fortune of his own through fisheries and forestry. For political reasons, he left France in 1852 and came to the
United States. After a failed attempt to establish a school and orphanage for black children.in New Orleans, he
looked elsewhere to implement some of his humanitarian ideals. He found his location in Kansas. He bought
the land and poured money into the establishment of Silkville. During the early years when' accomodations
were crude, he endured hardships. He was committed to Silkville and became a citizen of the United States on
November 6, 1874.
'
Garrett R. carpenter, a graduate hiStory student at Emporia State University, reported his research findings
about Silkville. He said the commune was intended to be self-sustaining. A prospectus was issued in 1873 to
invite socialists and others to join. Workers were to be associates and were to be renumerated in proportion
to their productivity. Destitute persons were not admitted. Each worker was required to give a $100 deposit
and to provide for their own needs and to pay rent for their rooms two months in advance. :The style of living
was to be frugal and inexpensive.
Production of Silk Ribbons Was To Be Main Industry

The production of silk and silk ribbons was to be one of the main industries. Seventy acres of the choicest
land were set out with mulberry trees to feed the silk worms. A large stone building was built to house the
looms and the location where the worms were to be kept. By the year 1872 the three looms at Silkville had a
capacity of making 224 yards of ribbon a day. Interest in silk production spread throughout Kansas. During
the first few years, more than forty French immigrants came to Kansas. Most of these were experts in the
production and manufacture of silk.

De Boissiere exhibited his manufactured silk products at the 1876 Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia where
his products were awarded first prize over entries from all over the world. De Boissiere took a personal
interest in exhibiting his silk products. he was known to have taken charge of displays at fairs in Bismarck
Grove, near Lawrence, and the state fair in Topeka.

!

Mr. Charles Sears, who was the former president of the Fourierist North American Phalanx, came from New
Jersey and became the commune manager in 1875. His son, Charles T. Sears, was put in charge of
developing the farm, orchards, and the stock raising. The farm was well stocked with the finest bred cattle
and horses, and a cheese factory was established. Large vineyards and orchards were put out and they
engaged in farming of all kinds. Workers from all over the world (France and Sweden primarily) came to be
part of the community. Most workers did not stay very long preferring to invest in private property rather than
a communal enterprise. It is believed that no more than about forty or fifty workers- lived at Silkville at one
time--maybe even fewer.

Substantial improvements, which were very modern for the time, were made at Silkville. A limestone fence
four feet high was built around the entire place, making a total of fifteen miles of fence. All the buildings were
limestone. They built a large cheese factory and creamery, a building for a blacksmaith shop and workroom,
several large barns and sheds for stock. A total of six hundred acres were put in cultivation, and five hundred
acres of prairie-grass were reserved as hay land. The remainder was used as pasture land that was supplied
with water from a dozen artificial ponds.
..,

For workers, a three-story, Sixty-room stone manor house, 36 by 95 feet, was completed in,1874 where people
shared meals in the dining room but lived in separate apartments with their families. It was so grand that the
local people referred to it as the "chateau" but de Boissiere preferred the less pretentiOUS name of
"phalanstery"--the home of a "phalanx." It was said that as many as one hundred people could be housed
there. It had spacious parlors and a large dining room. A library of 2,500 books, the largest in Kansas at that
time, was established. Silkville was also a flag stop on the Kansas City, Burlington and Santa Fe Railroad.

Some Workers Leased Land
Some workers were allowed to lease land and build their own homes paying about $10 to $36 a year for a
lease to last twenty-one years. This property was diagonally southwest across the field from the main manor
house. It was located at the junction of two section roads now known as Arkansas and Cloud Roads.

Local People Visited Silkville
The first few years, very few outsiders visited Silkville. local people were curious about what went on there.
Lem Woods, who wrote an article based on the Fogle family memories for the Ottawa newspaper in the 1930s,
described a party held at the commune. He wrote, "Early in the summer of 1874, notices were printed in the
Ottawa and Burlington papers that on a certain Sunday, excursion trains would run to Silkville, and everybody
was invited to come and see how silk was made. A large crowd came to visit, eat, and dance. They all had a
good time and were impressed. Writers wrote about the spacious buildings and the good production of the
cheese factory. The orchards were thriving and the vineyards were producing wine.
I'
II

Commune Failed
Boissiere was disappointed. His ideas of a commune were not successful. Not enough·associates could be
attracted to Silkville to live the communitarian way of life with the coorperative labor scheme. Many associates
left the farm. Workers could make higher wages elsewhere. People had to be hired and paid wages. By 1882
Boissiere began to find the competition for silk products from the Orient was growing. Silk could be imported
cheaper than his workers could make it at Silkville. The silk industry could not become profitable. From 1881
on, the silk activities were curtailed and only retained on an experimental basis until they were abandoned in
1886.
.
.
.
All this caused the philantropist's dream to come to an end. General agriculture and stock raising did continue
for a period of time, but it was clear that the idea of a cooperative commune was dead.

De Boissiere Deeded Property to Odd Fellows
At the age of eighty-two in 1892, de Boissiere returned to Kansas from France. He knew that his idea for a
commune had fai.led .. He wanted to devote this Kansas land for the greatest possible good for humanity.
When he made hiS Wishes known, many representatives from charitable institutions visited him hoping to
secure the property. Representatives of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows of the state of:Kansas

approached de Boissiere about devoting his property to establishing an orphans' home and 'industrial school for
the children of deceased Odd Fellows of the state of Kansas. First de· Boissiere studied the constitution, laws,
and literature of the order. He indicated that he didn't want to, give the property to the Odd Fellows so they
could sell it. He wanted it kept together. Terms were agreed upon and the property was deeded to the Odd
Fellow's Grand Lodge of Kansas.
According to the Annals of Kansas, 1892, page 138, "May 11, Ernest Valeton de Boissiere, ~renchman who
founded Silkville, deeded all his real and personal property, amounting to nearly $150,000 to a trust for
founding an I.O.O.F. orphans' home. The gift included a 3,100-acre farm with nine stone buildings, an apple
orchard, a mulberry grove and a walnut grove." On June 7, 1894 the Odd Fellows Orphans' Home, designed
by noted Kansas architect George P. Washburn, was dedicated.
On Oct. 11, 1892 the Grand Lodge accepted the gift and voted to enact a $1,50 per capita tax to its members
to support the running of the home. Some members were opposed to establishing the home and legally
fought the case. In 1894, certain lawyers believed that the rejection by the Grand Lodge nullified tJ:te original
transaction and the title of the property should revert to the heirs of de Boissiere. A long legal battle
developed over the ownership of Silkville. L.c. Stine of Ottawa, who was 'a' great friend of d~ Boissiere, and
who had gotten him to deed the place to the Odd Fellows, made a grand and noble fight fot, the order.
Legal Battle Over Ownership

Once the I.O.O.F. had repudiated the gift, ownership fell into the courts. The law firm of Troutman &amp; Stone of
Topeka claimed that de Boissiere's Sister, madame Corrine Martinelli, was the heir of the property. In 1898,
James Troutman, for $4500, got Madame Martinelle to sign a quitclaim deed to their 'law firm. Litigation
commenced and was in the courts for years. The Odd Fellows claimed that de Boissiere intended the property
to be an orphans' home and had deeded the property to them, that they had invested $34,000, and that the
lawyers fraudulently got Madame Martinelli to deed over the property. The Supreme Court of Kansas on
January 9, 1903, decided in favor of Troutman and Stone declaring the original trust deed to'the Odd Fellows
was void. On September 1, 1910, Troutman and Stone, Topeka lawyers, sold Silkville, near Williamsburg, for
$130,000.
'
,
'
On April 29, 1916, the Silkville original manor house, valued at $40,000 was partially destroyed by fire. It was
rebuilt at about one-third of the original size and used as a farm house. During the 1950s, the John
Netherland family purchaed the Silkville Ranch. In 2003 the ranch, still containing the original land, was sold
to a Kansas City family, the Bickelmiers.

The Saga of Silkville

Lawrence Presbyterian Manor
Written at age 78

. I was driving south and w~st of Ottawa, Kansas, toward a destination I knew was not there anymore. The
once-thriving community of Silkville was long gone. I knew there would be only ranch land with grazing
Hereford cattle, but I wanted to see for myself where this fascinating story had taken place. Just beyond the
small town of Williamsburg there was a sign, Silkville Ranch.
In the late 1860s Ernest V. Boissiere purchased more than 3,000 acres ofland in Franklin County. He was
a wealthy Frenchman who had been banished from France by Napoleon III who thought Boissiere was too
close to dissidents and the writer, Victor Hugo, who for a time was also exiled from France. Boissiere had
learned about the climate of Kansas and determined it was similar to the silk-producing section of France. He
made arrangements for forty French immigrants to work with Americans to promote his silk-producing
industry. Workers constructed an elaborate manor house which accommodated one hundred persons who ate at
a common table. He established a library of 2,500 books, the largest in Kansas at that time. One writer
described Boissiere as a portly man in his fifties who loved books, music, and helping the underprivileged.
Silkville was never a town, yet it contained everything necessary for a self-sufficient working
community-a blacksmith shop, winery, farming services, and an orchard. It was also a flag stop on the Santa
Fe Railroad.
Workers planted seventy acres of Russian mulberry trees to feed the silkworms. Later, however, Boissiere
discovered that the leaves of the Kansas Osage Orange, commonly called hedge trees, were better food than
the mulberry leaves and the Osage Orange better withstood the heat and dry weather. Boissiere obtained
silkworm eggs from New Orleans and France, but when he became disenchanted with the quality he procured
select eggs from Japan. By the year 1872 the looms at Silkville had a capacity of making 224 yards of silk
ribbon a day, and interest in silk products spread throughout Kansas. The Kansas Legislature provided funds
for promoting silk products in forty-six counties in Kansas. Boissiere exhibited his manufactured silk products
at the 1876 Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia where his products were awarded first prize over entries
from allover the world.
In time Boissiere began to find the competition for silk products from The Orient was growing. Silk could
be imported cheaper than his workers could make it in Silkville. His workers could make higher wages
elsewhere, and some of the French women left to marry American farmers. All this and perhaps unsound
financial foundation of the industry at Silkville caused the entrepreneur's dream to come to an end. In 1878
Boissiere deeded the land to the Odd Fellow's Lodge in Ottawa and went back to France reportedly with only
$205 in his pocket.
In the 1950s the John Netherland family purchased the land and it became the Silkville Ranch. Only two
stone barns remain. There are a few of the old mulberry trees left, but an obvious attempt to clear the land for
grazing left some tall jagged stumps standing like ghosts of another time.
As I stood near one of the old stone barns, four young cowboys came galloping on horseback across the
l~d and disappeared into the barn. The young men paid little attention to me, though they were not
discourteous. Wh~n I posed the question, "Do you know anything about the original Silkville?" their answer
was vague and bnef, "Hmmm, something about growing silkworms." '

of respect. My only lingering wish was that I knew some of the stories of those who helped Mr. ii~ls~iere -'
accomplish his dream. Though the adventure was short-lived, it was a real-life story with all the fascination of
the 'fictional "Wizard of Oz."

1866
THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
Mount Oread, the ridge 0 which KU was built, was visible for miles and
was the first major feature seen by pioneers on the Oregon Trail as they
crossed the Wakarusa River. With its spreading wind-like hillsides,
Mount Oread is the single most distinguishing feature of KU' s
landscape. The historic campus forms an urban wall upon the hill,
stretching from the open green spaces of Potter lake and from Dyche
Hall to Bailey and the immense Strong Hall. Nestled in hillside trees and
punctuated by the spire of the Campanile KU's boulevard of buildings
forms a city on the encircling ridge.
The University of Kansas, with a charter and three faculty members,
opened on September 12, 1866. From modest beginnings, KU is a major
center for learning, research, scholarship and creative endeavor in
Kanas, the nation, and the world. Over the decades, KU has welcomed
those who careers have shaped the University, and in turn the campus
has cultivated the ideas and ideals of those who contribute to the broad
goals of education, research and service.

LUCY HOBBS TAYLOR: DOUGLAS COUNTY DENTISTS AND
AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF WOMEN DENTISTS.
A childhood dream became a dramatic reality for Lucy Hobbs Taylor.
Born in 1833 in Ellenburg Town, NY, young Lucy set her sights on
becoming a doctor. Medical schools at the time would not allow women

�to enroll. A determined Lucy soon turned hir ambitions towards ,
dentistry. Lucy, or "Dr. Lucy" as she was referred to by her patients,
was the first licensed soman dentist to practice in Kansas.
Finding a dentist in Ohio to train her, Lucy learned the skills of pulling
teeth and making dentures. When she tried to enter a dental school, she
was once again refused admittance because she was a woman. Feeling
confident in her dental skills Taylor moved to Iowa and worked with
other dentists. The doctors liked her work so much that they persuaded
the American Dentists Association to allow her and other women to
attend dental school.
She became known as "the woman who pulls teeth." At last her fortitude
and valor began to payoff. In 1865 she was formally invited to attend
the Fourth Annual Meeting of the Iowa State Dental Society in
Dubuque. In an unprecedented act, the Iowa State Dental Society
amended its Constitution and Bylaws so that a woman could be admitted
into full membership. She enrolled in The Ohio College of Dentistry and
on Feb. 21, 1866, she became the first woman in the world to be
awarded the Doctor of Dental Surgery degree. The faculty in a burst of
long delayed effusive praise stated that Lucy "was indeed a superior
student and a great credit to her chosen profession." Returning to Iowa,
she read a paper before the Iowa State Dental Society entitled "The Use
of the Mallet." She had now added another first to her illustrious career
she was the first woman in the history of dentistry in the United States to
address and present a scientific paper to a dental society.
After graduation, she moved to Chicago and opened an office. She fell
in 10':'r with one of her patients, a Civil War veteran named James M.
TaylQr~ He had been a railroad car painter for the Northwestern Railroad,
but after they were married in 1867 she began to teach her husband the
art and science of dentistry. Seeking to escape the harsh Chicago
winters, they moved to Lawrence, Kansas, where they established the
"finest and most lucrative practice in Kansas."

�In the early 1880s, they moved their practice to the building that is now
809 Vermont St. Lucy Hobbs taylor was active in many fraternal groups
and a participant in civic org,anizations and professional dental societies.
Childless, she and her husband practiced dentistry together until his
death in 1886. A year later she retired, continuing her civic activities and
campaigning for women's rights in the Republican Party.
Dr. Taylor was not happy in retirement, and in 1895 she moved her
home and office back into 809 Vermont, continuing a limited practice
until her death from a stroke in 1910. She is buried in Oak Hill
Cemetery, Lawrence.
The Woman's Dental Association of the US was founded in 1892 by Dr.
Mary Stillwell-Keusel with 12 charter members, and grew to 100
members in its first year, providing mutual support and continuing
education. This association existed until 1898. In 1921, 12 women
dentists met in Milwaukee during the annual meeting of the National
Dental Association (NDA) and formed the Federation ofAmerican
Women Dentists. This organization became he American Association of
Women Dentists, sustaining a tradition ofmentorship and support for
the common interests ofwomen dentists. Today the organization serves
more than 1200 members, and recognizes an outstanding woman dentist
each year with the Lucy Hobbs Taylor Award.

TRINITY LUTHERAN CHURCH
In the beginning, Trinity Luthery Church was an immigrant church. The
rev. David Earhart, the grandfather of aviator Amelia Earhart, tended the
small flock before it had a permanent shepherd. The founders first met
around a table in the kitchen of John G. and Martha Schmucker, whose

?1

�stone house was on Rhode Island Street. Next they met at Miller's Hall
on Massachusetts Street. To build a house of worship of their own, many
early members gave sacrificially.
St. Patrick's Day, March 17, 1867, is the English Lutheran Church was
organized by a missionary who returned from Africa, the Rev. Morris
Officer. More than likely, the founders included the word "English" in
the name of their church to distinguish themselves from another local
church where German was used. In the early 1900'S, they changed the
name to First Evangelical Lutheran Church, but in 1910 they settled on
Trinity Lutheran Church.
Resourceful, they engaged the services of John G. Haskell, an architect
now known for his work on the state capitol in Topeka, for the stone
church on New Hampshire Street close to the intersection with 11th
Street. Stone was quarried from the grounds of the University of Kansas.
One account suggests that Dr. [Levi] Sternberg gave the dedicatory
sermon in 1870.
After W orld War I, the fITst edifice did not have enough room, especially
for the Sunday School and a larger church was built in 1928 at 1245
New Hampshire St. The congregation made the cherished walk from the
stone church to the brick church on Sept. 16, 1928. The Rev. Charles A.
PuIs was pastor, and Trinity was known as "the churchly church." By
1930, WREN carried the service over the air; in 2005, KL WN
broadcasts the services By the end of World War II, the congregation,
characterized by faith and service, had grown to more than a thousand.
The fITst ordinand from Trinity was the Re. Dr. Lloyd Eldon Sheneman
(1953), and the second was the Rev. Richard I. Preis.
The church has a number of carvings from Oberammergau, Germany.
Carvings of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are above the original altat.
Other carvings include the "Flight into Egypt," two depictions of the
Lord's Supper and a Nativity scene. Five windows include the Good

tcP

�Shepherd, the Crucifixion and the Resurrection. The organ is a Reuter.
New Hampshire Street closed between 12th and 13th streets in order to
alow for an addition completed in 1992. In the main church, the
communion rail was altered in 2203-2004. "Past, Present, and Future at
Trinity," a video history of the church from 1867-2003, is available
through the church office.

Funding of the 1867 footstone: the children of the Sunday School, a
Schaake-Vogel-Heck memorial, the Clifton C. James memorial, with the
major giftfrom the Stan W Harrisfamily in memory ofShirley Harris.

William Allen Pine Came to Douglas County
William Allen Pine was born Dec. 16, 1819, in New Jersey and followed
his father in farming there and in Maryland. In 1868, at age 48, he
moved his family of eight children to the new lands of Kansas, where he
settled in northeast Douglas County just outside the city limits of
Lawrence. Through five successive generations, 16 have farmed in the
area. Presently, agriculture enterprises are in turf grass and a greenhouse.
Others of these generations have gone into a diverse number of
occupations and expanding the numbers in the Pine family.
William Allen Pine died Dec. 6, 1879, and is buried in Maple Grove
Cemetery, where his wife, Elizabeth Browning Fish, who was born Oct.
14, 1826, and died Sept. 14, 1876, is also buried.

Gower-Bowersock-Hill
Two events in the year 1874 laid the foundation for the economic revival
of the city after several years of serious decline. The first was the
completion in November of the dam that was to provide the cheap
source of power that led to the city's industrial development during the
next quarter of a century.
The second significant event of 1874 was the founding of the Couglas
County Mills (later renamed the Bowersock Mills and Power Co.) By
the arriving family of Games H. Gower and his son-in-law Justin D.
Bowersock. The latter became 'a leading citizen of the town, mayor,
congressman, banker (the Lawrence National Bank), industrialist (the
Lawrence Paper Company, the Consolidated Barb Wire Co., and the
Bowersock Mills &amp; Power Co.) And a philanthropist who founded and
supported, among other city cultural activities, the Bowersock Opera
House.

William Henley Pendleton
William Henley Pendleton was born July 22, 1858, in Williamsburg, Va.
He came from an old and aristocratic family, whose ancestors helped
settle Jamestown. He came to lawrence in February 187. On May 17,
1882, he married Matilda Poehler and they had six children.
Mr. Pendleton was a southern gentleman of the finest type, always
courteous, affable, modest and unassuming. He was always thinking of
others and cared for what was real and genuine. He was an ideal man in
his family, caring for both small and large affairs of his children. He was
a devoted communicant of the Episcopal Church, and served as

�Vestryman and Junior Warden at Trinity Church. He was a loyal and
highly respected Mason, holding many offices in this organization. As a
citizen he had the best interests of Lawrence at heart, pursuing both the
welfare of the community and its future as a hometown and as a center
for manufacturing interests. William Henley Pendleton was one of
Lawrence's most progressive citizens, revered for his many acts of
kindness and charity. He died in 1915.

Lawrence Chamber of Commerce
The Lawrence Chamber of Commerce was founded in 1878 and
incorporated in 1922. The original Articles of Incorporation read, "the
object of this Organization is for the purpose of advancing the
commercial, industrial, educational and civic interests of the City of
Lawrence." Those same ideals are still pursued 127 years later, as the
Chamber and its members continue to promote and enhance the
economic vitality of Lawrence and Douglas County.
Our organization is somewhat unique. We house four departmental
entities within the Chamber: Membership, Leadership, Convention &amp;
visitors Bureau and Economic Development. This ensures that our
program of work is unified under the "house umbella" and it
complements our efforts to enhance our image and effectiveness while
representing the business needs of Lawrence and Douglas County.
On behalf of our approximately 1800 serving business representatives,
we work hard to achieve the goals and the mission of the chamber on a
qaily basis. The Lawrence Camber of Commerce advocates for business
and community prosperity as it creates diverse jobs; cultivates a
successful business environment; develops active community leaders;
and promotes the assets of Lawrence and Douglas County.

The Zodiac Club
The Zodiac Club was formed by a group of nine Lawrence Women on
Feb. 5, 1878, with the object of studying and discussing literature, art
and other subjects of cultural interest. From 1878-1943, Zodiac Club met
every Tuesday from October to May. Since 1943, meetings have been
twice a month from September to May.
Membership includes a mix of town and university women. The number
of active members is limited to 30, but the number of associate and life
members is not limited. Each year, the club chooses a theme to study. In
its early days, few women went to college, so the club provided a
continuing education for its members. Generally, a guest speaker
initiates the year's topic at the first meeting in September, and at
subsequent meetings, one or two members make presentations on Italian
authors, history, art, architecture, music, regional foods and other
cultural aspects.
Zodiac has helped to build both the university and the community. One
of the early members was Carrie Watson, the University of Kansas
Librarian from 1877-1921 for whom Watson Library was named. Nine
other Zodiac members were married to KU professors or chancellors
after whom buildings and auditoriums were named. Many others are
now remembered with scholarships, professorships or rooms at KU
named in their memory. In recognition of the part that Zodiac plays in
the history ofKU, the club minutes and other materials are stored in the
archives of the Spencer Research Library. To help build the comunity
Zodiac donates a children's book to the Lawrence Public Library in .
memory of each member upon her death.
Topics studied have sometimes refleted interests of the time period. In

�1967, Zodiac Club studied Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War; in
1972 the topic was "Woman" when the Equal Rights Amendment was
proposed to Congress; and in 2004, the Lewis and Clark Trail was the
topic of study during its 200th anniversary. Members discuss potential
topics each January and select one in February.
During the past 40 years, the club had studied various parts of the world:
Canada, Mexico, Latin America, Eastern Europe, Italy, Japan and .
Africa. Topics involving women have included Women Travelers and
Adventurers, the Ethnic Women's Voices in the Americas. Literary
topics have included Science and Science Fiction, Nobel Laureates,
Great Books, Biographies, Essayists, Plays, American Humorists,
Elizabeth England, Short Stories since 1945, Booker Prize Finalists and
National Book Award Winners. Other topics have included Cities of the
World, Kansas and he World in the 1870s and Vernacular Architecture.
Founders Day dinners are held every five years, the only time spouses
are invited to a club activity. The 125th anniversary was observed in
February 2003. The 130th anniversary will be observed in February
2008.

From the editor:
When I was cleaning off some shelves to make more space, I found a
folder with actual newspaper clippings from various Lawrence papers.
They dated from 1876-1879. They were very interesting as were the
articles around them.
The following are a selected few just as I found them. I apologize if
they are difficult to read, but they are worth the effort. I am happy to
share them with anyone who has an interest in the person.

well..

'Vord was received here last eventng
about six o'clock, that Heliry Whitney,
the eldest son of Mr, and Mrs. W. H. :S;.
'Whitney, had accidentally shot himself
while hunting on the 'Haight place,
three miles northeast of Lawrence. So
soon as .possible Mr. 'Vhitney "'ith a
physician was at the scene of the accii delit and found the young man hopeless- '
ly wounded.
Yesterday afternoon Henry Whitney
and his cousin Charlie Burnett went
out to ('he home of tneir uncle, Sidney
Whitney, which is on·the Haight place,
to hunt. They left the house with their ,
guns in the afternoon and after hunting
a\vhile reached a clearing a little ways '
north of- the house, where they stopped :
a few moments. 'Vood-cutters'had been;
at work in the clearing and had sawed '
a large log' into blocks of . stove-wood'
length ready for spli',!ing, One of these
blocks stood un end, and Henry 'Vhit- ,
; ney stepped lip on it and stood there i
: with the butt of his gun resting upon I
'. the block near his foot and the muzzle ,
i in his lc:It hand. The butt of the gun'
f slip'ped off· the block and dropped until ,
I the hammer struck the edge of the block .
, and disch;trged the gun. The charge
passed through the right armjlist above,
the wrist, and tore away a portion of
the right side. A terrible wound was iI~­
flicted. Henry exclaimed, "I am shot,"
and Charlie ran to him . and supported
him, and they walkeri together some I
! distance toward the house. . Henry ,
finally said he could endure it no longer, ;
and told Charlie to go to the houHe for
help. Charli,e lwlped him into as comfortable a position as possible, and went i
to the house, three-quarters of a ~nile
away, where he got a buggy, and in
company with his sister, Mrs. S. E.,
"'hitney, returned to where the wound- .
ed boy lay, and took him to the honse. :
llir. S. E'. 'Vhitlley·was in town whim
, the accident happened, but returned !
just as the wounded boy W[lS being car- ~
ried ill to the house.
i
I
'Father and mother were soon'there, :
, and Henry told them he knew the I
, ,yonnd would kill him, Dr. Mottram :
I gave no encouragement that the wound
would not proye fataL All night long ,
: the parents ancl relative,S of the dying
i boy watched by his bedside. His brain I
was clear and he talked quite often, all
, the time bearing his suffering with
, heroic fortitude, From the time of the
accident he had borne himself wit.ll 1.lllcomplai~ling coolness and courage, hold- ,
iug his bowels in himself by placing his :
hands over the gaping wound in his '
side while trying to make his way to '
the
house.

At;- half-past six th~nol~ilIllg- he
breathed his last; and a young life
bright with promise went out into. the
mystery of death.
Henry C. 'Vhitney was in his seven, teenth year, and just entering upon a
manhood tlnit promised to be full of
llsefulness and honor. He ,,'as a young
! 111all of excellent· rtloral character, lina
had al ways been the pride and comfort
of his father and mother, neyer having
I caused them a single hour of trouble;
Even as death drew lIear he talked hopefully to his mother and father, and his
co~U'age never faltered to the last,
though his suffering must have be@n
I intense up toa short time before death,
I when it seemed to leave him, and he
died happily and peacefully.
. :Henry was gentlemanly, kind and
obliging to everybody and a general
favorite with his acquaintances. As n.
school boy, and later as a student of the
I University, he was known for his perseverance and rapid prog'ress in stuc;ly.
The loss of such a dutiful, exem. plary and promising boy isa terrible '
,'blo\v to Mr. and Mrs. Whitney. The
, dark shadow that death has throwIl over
I their home is impenetrable to them as
it is to the relatives and friends, and
only the day tluit,clears ui) all mysteries
will make it known to them 'why their
loved first-born was taken from thetll.
In their great sorrow they have the profoundest sympathies of all who know I
of this terri ble aftiiction.
'fhe funeral will· take place to-morro\~ afternoon' at :3 o'clock, from the.,
reSIdence at the north end of Hhode ;

Death of

~I.. s.

'Vesley Dnncan.

Mrs. Wesley Duncan, a well-known
and respected lady, who for years has i
been recognized as one o~ the best and I
kindest of Lawrence women, died,yes- :
terday, aftei' quite a long sickness, ~
through which she received the devoted \
, attention of both her own family and I
, many friends. Mrs. Elizabeth Duncan
was born in Kentucky, in 1837, and there
spent her youth. With her father's
family, she removed to Johnson county, Missouri, and there married 'Vesley I
: DUllcan, in May, 1854. In-May, 1855,
, they came to Lawrence,alldcommenced
keeping house in a small log house 011
the side hill southwest of the city. The
house is still standing. Shortly after
the establishment of the M. E. Church
here, she united herself with it, and although she was -never a leader, she always elltered heartily into every project which promised good to the church
and the community. Through all the
trying times which Lawrence has passed, she has been a consistent Christian,
a fond wife, a good motlwr, and a friend
to the needy. In 1868 the family removed to Califol'llia, and on the journey
lost a bright daughter, when they were
a little west of Salt Lake City. The, I
child w;~s then about eight years old. i
Her husband and three children survive
her; one daughter seventeen y'ears old,
! a son seven years old, -and a babe about
two years old. ]l.'1rs .. Dimcan had two
sisters living, JHrs. Charlie Duncan, of
this city, and Mrs. Gabhart, ~vho lives'
in the western part of the State.
The funeral takes place to-morrow afterlloon at 2 o'clock, from the residence '
west of the city. Services at the house.
Friends are invited te attend.

ODDS AND ENDS

It is frequently thought by people that rare and valuable books and curios cannot be
found except in large museums and in families in large cities. This is not the case however
and a little investigation on our part during the past week has led us to believe that Baldwin
is just full of valuable material of a historical character. We give below the
results of some of our investigation and will continue the article next week. We would be
pleased if all people who have property of this kind would notify us concerning it. We are
anxious to publish a complete list as it will be of great interest to all.

Capt. C. P. Ives cherishes a family Bible which was printed in 1637. He also has a
copy of Watt's Hymnal which was purchased by John Ives in 1780. In American History he
has several letters that are of great value. He has two autograph letters of Gen. Robt. E. Lee
to Gen. Early and also several letters of Gen. Early. These letters were captured by the first

�New York, when they captured Gen. Early's headquarters. Mr. Ives was not present at the
time of the capture but several of the boys knew he would be pleased to have them as a
remembrance and they carried them in their saddle bags through several fierce battles
before Mr. Ives returned from his detail. They were then presented to him. They
undoubtedly cover a record of which the government has no account.

Judge Stewart picked up a sword at Island No. 10 in '62 and also some rifle balls
at the battle of Shiloh. These will be more valuable as the years go by. Mr. Stewart's
grandfather came to America in 1764 from Ireland. He brought with him a solid gold seal.
This is now in the possession of Clyde Stewart. Mrs. Stewart, rightly treasures a cream
pitcher in beautiful colors which is over 200 years old.

Mrs. O. G Markham has a book that is undoubtedly the most valuable work to
Methodists in the entire West. The first American who was ordained a Methodist preacher
was either Philip Gatch or Wm. Watters but there are many reasons to believe that Philip
Gatch has that honor. The first conference held by Methodists occurred May 25, 1774 in
Philadelphia. Philip Gatch attended this conference and kept a record of the proceedings.
He had a book entitled "Minutes of several Conversations between Reverands Messieurs
John and Charles Wesley." The book is dated 1760. It was bound in leather and the last half
of the pages are blank. Upon these pages Mr. Gatch has written the proceedings of the
conference. Following the proceedings of the first conference are also those of 1775, '76,
'77, '78 and '79 held in different parts of the country. The proceedings are recorded in the
question and answer style as is the custom to this day. There are many items of interest in
them. In one place it says: "What shall the preachers' quarterage be?" Answer: Something equivalent to L5 Virginia currency. The next year the same question is asked·
with the answer "Something equivalent to L5 Virginia currency of last year." And so one;
showing that the currency varied. This item is worth the consideration of our people who
are making such an extended study of the currency question today. In 1777, the minutes
contained some interesting resolutions concerning the standing together of the people in .
trying to have a Union in the war with Mother England. Most of the ministers were from·
England and returned to that country after the opening of the war, and this brought on the
dispute as to who was authorized to administer the ordinances. And here is the beginning of
a great theological question. Mrs. Markham also has a book written full of the sermons of
Philip Gatch, all in his own handwriting. Philip Gatch was the great-great-grandfather of
Mrs. Markham. In researches so far we found that Prof. Markham has some very old
books. They are all in Latin and so there will not be many people wishing to read them. The
oldest is a volume of Cicero's miscellaneous writings printed in 1556. The author of "An
Abridgment of Roman History" is Sextus Aurelious Victor, date 1570. This book has a
number of very fine steel engravings. The complete works of Marcus Tullius Cicero in two
volumes of about 800 pages each and the dimension of the book being about a foot and a
half long by a foot wide is dated 1577. Ceasar's Commentaries on the Gallic wars dated
1776 and the writings of Virgil published in 1778 complete this last [list] all of which are
very interesting especially because of the odd manner of the mechanical make-up.

James Murray has reason to be proud of a copy of Isaac Watts' Psalms of David

�dated 1716. Its cover is birch bark covered with leather. He also has a copy of the Book of
Mormon. It is dated at Palmyra N. Y. 1830 and is believe to be one of six copies now in
existence of the fIrst issue of this book. It is very valuable because of its being one of the
fIrst ones issued.

Mr. Wood has the oldest book we have yet seen in Baldwin, the oldest being
"Proverbs" in Latin, published in 1500. He has geographies of rare worth. The maps in
them are very curious. They are, "Salvious" dated 1785, "Geography for the Youth" printed
in 1790, another in 1524, Busching's geography of 1762 in 6 large volumes. Other works
are "A General Atlas" over two feet long and over a foot wide and weighing about 30 lbs,
this is dated 1721. Winget's Arithmetic of 1760, The American Spelling Book of 1804, A
French geometry dated 1643, "Mathematical Magick" by J. Wilkins 1680, Astronomical
Lectures by Whiston, of the date 1728, A Latin Bible dated 1680, and "Astronomy" by
Marcus Maulilus of the year 1743. Theo. Street had a "New Theory of the Celestial
Motions." He told about it in 1710. Murray has an English Grammer in two large volumes.
This is dated 1808. Socrates' work in Latin and Greek of the date 1558 is very curiously
bound. Luther's commentaries on St. Paul's writings, of 1588, is undoubtedly quite rare.
"Divine Arithmetick or the Right Art of Numbering our Days" was written about 1672 by
Symon Patrick. A copy of Isaac Newton's Optics, of 1707 is also in his collections. Lucian's
works of 1525 is also a valuable work. Dr. Wood also has some Egyptian wheat, and a .
piece of a brick made by the Israelites-the historic bricks without straw. He has also many
coins and other numerous relics. His collection is very valuable indeed and is doubtless one
of the best in this part of the country.

W. C. T. U. Convention, Baldwin Ledger, August 27, 1897
About 25 delegates from abroad were present this week to attend the District
Convention of the W. C. T. U. The meetings began Wednesday afternoon and closed last·
evening. The papers discussions and music of the day meetings were all interesting. The
M.E. church was well fIlled at the evening service.
On Wednesday evening the addresses by Mrs. Adams and Weaver were both
excellent and well received. Last night Dr. Williams and Prof. Lough made stirring
addresses and Prof. Kendall read an interesting paper. Vocal solos were given by Mrs.
Weaver and Geo Benedict, and Homer Derr played a flute solo. Miss Minnie Swayze
also gave a reading. It was a very successful meeting and quite helpful to all. The offices of
last year were re-elected.

�Probably the oldest coin owned by any person in this city is a small copper piece in
the possession of Prof. Parmenter. It was found in the ruins of Pompeii, and since the
destruction of that city took place 79 A.D. the coin was made previous to that time. On the
reverse side are words in Greek in an abridged form and hence were unintelligible to
several Greek scholars who have inspected them. Another valuable coin is a Spanish piece
of 1727. A very unique and valuable relic owned by Prof. Parmenter is the diploma given
by Yale University to Jesse Williams in 1758. It is on a very heavy parchment, about onehalf the size of the diplomas of today, and the entire work is done with a pen. Upon a long
blue ribbon appended to the parchment is a piece of paper on which is the wax seal. Very
little, however, is left of the wax seal. Jesse Williams, above referred to, is the great, great
grandfather of Mrs. Parmenter. A book of great value for its autograph letters and
engravings is a life of Sir Humphrey Davy.

Dr. Osborn is the son of a Presbyterian minister and hence takes considerable
pride in owning a copy of the Westminster "Confession of Faith," dated 1784. Other books
of interest which he possesses are "The Seasons," by Thompson, of 1797. There are very
peculiar engravings in this edition and it is also valuable to Dr. Osborn because it contains
the signature of his grandfather. A few theological works, very peculiar to the present day,
are, "The Devil Chained," "A Cloud of Witnesses," "Scenes in the World of Spirits."
These were all printed in the beginning of the present century. The Dr. also possesses the
first arithmetic, speller and reader he ever used. They are dated 1830. He also has a copy of
the N.Y. Herald containing an account of Lincoln's assassination and a Vicksburg paper
printed on wall paper.
Ye editor has a few articles which may be of general interest. A piece of a British
gun carriage of the Revolutionary War is one of them. The signature of Bishop Osmon
Baker, for whom this University is named, is upon the parchment granting deacon's orders
to his father. The first Epic poem ever written in America was written by Joel Barlow in
1787. It is entitled "The Vision of Columbus." It is a very valuable book, both historically
and from a literary standpoint. The War of the Rebellion in 23 volumes, printed by the
government, long since out of print, is now very rare and valuable. Robertson's history of
America, in two volumes, dated 1791, is very valuable as a reference work. A short history
of the United States by Robert McCullough, dated 1795, is full of statistics of great value
for comparative history. The above volumes are valued very highly by Mr. Markham.

Robert Pearson has an old gun, the age of which is unknown. He has an army
cracker on which are the letters B.C. Some say that that means Boston Cracker, but others
have jokingly said when they have seen the ancient affair that B.C. must refer to the date.
Mr. Pearson also has a Wesleyan hymnal of the date 1724.

J. M. Morgan has a minie ball from Vicksburg and also prizes very highly a small
photograph of Abraham Lincoln at the bottom of which Mr. Lincoln signed his name at
Mr. Morgan's request.

DOUGLAS COUNTY DAY

To be Celebrated at the Fair Next Thursday-Sen. Mason of DUnois Will SpeakItems of Interest in Our History.
Next Thursday at the county fair in Lawrence, Douglas County will come in for
special notice. Senator W m. E. Mason of Chicago, one of the most prominent speakers of
the country, has been secured to make the address. It will be an occasion of unusual
interest and a general turnout is expected from all over the county. The Baldwin public
schools will adjourn on Thursday in order that the children may attend the celebration,
With this celebration in mind we give below some historical items concerning Douglas
county, many of which appeared in a recent issue of the Malt &amp; Breeze.
Douglas county was organized by act of the bogus legislature of 1855.
The county is watered by the Kaw and its numerous branches, the principal one of
which is the Wakarusa.
'
Twenty per cent of Douglas county is bottom land, well timbered with ash,
cottonwood, elm, oak and walnut.
The area of Douglas county is 300,160 acres, and contains some of the most fertile
land in the state.
The county of Douglas was fIrst opened to white settlement in 1854. Previous to
that time it was a part of the reservation of the Shawnee Indians.
In 1842, when General John C. Fremont, the great American "pathfinder," was on
his fIrst tour of exploration he encamped near the present site of Lawrence. In his report he
says: "We encamped in a remarkably beautiful situation on the Kansas bluffs which
commands a fme view of the river valley, here from four to fIve miles wide. The central
portion was occupied by a broad belt of heavy timber and nearer the hills the prairies were
of the richest verdure."
The old California trail ran through Douglas county.
Among the settlers who came in 1855 was Oliver Barber, for whom the county of
Barber was named, and whose murder by border ruffians was one of the dramatic incidents
of early Kansas history. His name was immortalized by Whittier in his poem entitled "The
Burial of Barber."
The townsite of Lawrence was selected in 1854 by the late Governor Charles
Robinson and Charles H. Branscomb of Holyoke, Mass.
Among the fIrst party brought out to settle in Lawrence were General Hugh
Cameron and Dan Anthony.
The fIrst company of New Englanders who had come to settle in Lawrence ate their
fIrst meal on which is now the townsite, on Mt. Dread, where the university is now
located.
The fIrst hotel was erected in Lawrence in September, 1854. It was built of poles,
the roof covered with prairie grass and the end covered with cotton cloth. The fIrst
landlord was Lewis T. Litchfield. The hotel was called the Astor House.
The fIrst sawmill was shipped to Lawrence by the New England Aid society in
September 1854.
The fIrst newspaper was established in Lawrence in October, 1854, by John Speer

�and called the Kansas Pioneer.
The early newspaper man as a shouter for Kansas and apostle of truth has not been
improved upon in later years. For instance observe this "local item" taken from one of the
fIrst numbers of the Pioneer: "A chief of the Delaware tribe presented the editors of the
Pioneer with an ear of com sixteen inches long. A gentleman from New Orleans says that
judging from the appearance of the soil it will produce cotton ten feet high."
The fIrst Fourth of July celebration was held at Lawrence in 1855, the orator of the
day was the late Governor Charles Robinson.
The "Wakarusa war" was commenced in November 1855.
The celebrated and terrible Lawrence massacre occurred on the 21 st of August,
1863. On that occasion, 143 unarmed men were murdered in cold blood, many others
wounded and the town practically destroyed by Quantrell and his gang.
The fIrst school taught in Lawrence was by Edward P. Fitch of Hopkinton, Mass, in
the winter of 1855.
Lecompton, famous as the territorial capital of Kansas, was settled in 1855 by the
Lecompton Town company, of which Samuel D Lecompton was president.
The fIrst house was built in Lecompton by W. R. Simmons.
The Lecompton ferry is one of the oldest means of transportation in the state, ,
having been established in 1855 by W. K. Simmons, Wesley Garrett and Evan Todhunter.
At one time, when Lecompton was in the height of its glory, lots sold all the way
from $1,000 to $5,000.
Douglas County is remarkable in that it has within its borders three noted
institutions of learning, the State University, Baker University at Baldwin and Lane
University at Lecompton.
The town of Baldwin was started in 1855 by the Palmyra Town Co.
Baker University, the most flourishing Methodist institution in the state, was
started in 1858. It now has an enrollment of some 500 students.
Among the more or less flourishing towns of Douglas county are Eudora, Vinland,
Belvar, Clinton, Globe, Lapeer and Media.
Douglas County is among the most prosperous in the state. The property of its
citizens, at a fair valuation, would amount to more than $10,000,000.
Like several of its neighboring counties Douglas is noted for its magnifIcent
orchards; its fIne horses and its blooded cattle.
The first teacher in Baldwin was Milton Baldwin who began a private school in '
1856. When Baker University was started in 1858 the public schools were run in
connection with it.

Baldwin Ledger, 15 February 1895
The state chaplain of the GA.R., Mr. Murray, of our city, has made out his yearly report
this week. It contains some interesting figures, some of which we give:
The number of graves decorated last Decoration day in Kansas = 8,156; the number of
soldiers and sailors who have died during the year = 516; the number of posts who own lots in
cemeteries = 145; number of soldiers buried in Potters field = 137; number of soldiers buried with

�no headstone to mark their graves =840; number of posts which held Sunday memorial services
248; number of soldiers participating in Decoration day services = 13,285; and 180,849 citizens
also took part in the exercises.

The Victor Suspender Company
The Baldwin Bee, 21 Oct. 1897
Probably very few of our people know what an important enterprise we have in our
midst, or the magnitude of the business conducted by it. By "it" we mean the Victor ,
Suspender Company. Organized about three years ago by Scott Gloyd with only himself,
his wife, and one assistant to the work, in a small two-room building on the west side of
the Public Square, it has now grown until it occupies the entire ground floor of the large
Durr building north of the railroad track, employs ten to twelve men daily and its output is
seventy-five to eighty-five dozen pairs of suspenders every working day. These goods are
scattered principally through Kansas and Nebraska by six salesman. The outlook, so Mr.
Sweet, the manager, informs us, is encouraging for a still greater demand for their goods
this winter and approaching summer. (from Eudora News).

Pall bearers alert
The Baldwin Bee, 21 Oct. 1897
A Kansas editor whose name we suppress because he is otherwise a good man tells this
story: "A lady died and while the pall bearers were conveying her to her last resting place
they stumbled and dropped the corpse. The concussion brought the deceased to life, she
lived seven years and died again. On the way to the grave they passed over the same
place and as the pall bearers reached the spot where the previous tumble had occurred at
the former service, the aggrieved husband stepped in front of those bearing the remains of
the lamented wife and said: "steady, boys, steady."

�I, the editor, have been doing research on a Lawrence resident who moved here in 1872
and died here in 1939. She and her husband were quite wealthy and she did a great many
good things for the City of Lawrence and the University of Kansas. Elizabeth Miller
Watkins. One of the questions has always been, "Why did she quit school at 15 and start
working for Jabez Watkins?" The story has been that she had to help support the family
but her father was a doctor so it didn't seem reasonable that they were poor. Around the
time that she quit school, 1874, there was a grasshopper devastation so it has been
speculated that no one could pay the doctor. In reading and looking on the Internet I came
across an index to Civil War Pension Records. He father had been a surgeon in the war so
I looked at those indices. Sure enough there he was but he didn't get a pension until 1880.
Why the interlude. I needed to look at that Pension Record. I could order the complete
file fro the National Archives at http://archives.gov/research/order. The catch was that it
would cost me $75.00. IfI could go to Washington I could look at it for free but
obviously it would cost more to go there than order it. So I ordered it and it came in three
weeks although they told me probably much longer. I was amazed at the information that
was in it and I am going to share some of it with you.
It is 37 pages all photocopied.

It begins with the Claimants Affidavit which is my person of interest, Valentine Miller,
stating when he was in the Civil War and what service unit he was with, the battle that he
was in where he got the dysentery, when they moved to Kansas and who has treated him.
Following that is the Physicians Affidavit. This is done by a local doctor who has
examined him and is stating what is wrong with him. He has chronic diarrhea which he
contracted in a battle of the Civil War while he was a surgeon.
Next is the Medical Evidence. From this document, done by a doctor New Paris, Ohio
where the family lived during the war, we learn the regiment that he was in, that he was
physically just fine in the until the fall of 1862, when he returned to New Paris with
diarrhea which he contracted in the Army. The Dr saw him in October of 1862 and later in
September 1864. He was frequently "consulted by Dr. V.G. Miller in relation to diarrhea
which trouble him with more or less severity till he moved from New Paris to Lawrence in
the fall of 1872." His pension is granted.
Then there are documents concerning his widow and her right to his pension. Valentine
dies in 1888.
From all this information and there is much more in the file I could determine that indeed
Valentine was a sick man and that is why Elizabeth had to quit school to help with the
family. I found it interesting that they did not apply for a pension until 1880 when she
quit school in 1874 but the bureaucracy then was not much better than it is now and they
may not have wanted to go to so much trouble until it was absolutely necessary.
If any of you have the possibility of using Pension Records I would certainly encourage it
even with the fee imposed. It is well worth the cost

�Editors note: I was looking through some family history files and found this one which
was done in the 80's by Thomas Gorton when he was the Society's genealogists. I
thought it merited republication.

The obituary in the Lawrence Journal World of 1 December 1914 had bold headlines:
A STRONG WOMAN GONE
Mrs. Richard Cordley figured extensively in early Kansas history. Funeral will be at the
Congregational Church where she labored so long.
Details followed about the widow of Dr. Richard Cordley, pioneer pastor of the
Plymouth Congregational Church of Lawrence. Born in Malster, Nottingham, England
on 13 April 1832 as Mary Minta Cox, she was the daughter of John and Elizabeth Cragg
(Minta) Cox. Her husband, Dr. Cordley, had been born also in Nottingham.
A relative, Evelyn Ingham of Escalon, California, who has had some correspondence
with the Douglas County Genealogical Society, wrote of her disappointment that Mrs.
Cordley's obituary did not provide more details of the family in England, but speculated
that perhaps since "they were so religious, Mrs. Cordley might not care to have everyone
knowing that her family had owned the Druid's Tavern and the Horse &amp; Groom, and that
her uncle (who raised her in Michigan after the death of her parents) also owned a tavern
there."
In his book "Pioneer Days in Kansas", published by Boston's Pilgrim Press in 1909, Dr.
Cordley wrote movingly about his beloved wife, her contributions to his career and their
life together.
"On account of the unsettled condition of the country I came alone to Kanas in 1857. The
day I entered Lawrence I found the town very full of people. They jostled each other on
the streets and stood in knots on the comers. I began to think Lawrence a pretty lively
place. But I soon learned that a great free State Convention was in session. The
administration at Washington proposed to force on the people of Kansas the hated
Lecompton constitution."
This was the historic convention of 2 December 1857 which was called to protest against
a constitution which recognized slavery. It was held in the unfinished building of
Plymouth Church, call the Old Stone Church. An account in the Kansas City Star related
that "its windows were boarded up, and its doors were rough boards nailed together, but
it was the best meeting place in town, and was used for many important gatherings, aside
from those of a religious nature. Winter was coming on when Dr. Cordley arrived, and
the unplastered walls were comfortless!"
He took his own small amount of savings, with which he had planned to return east for

7

�his bride, and instead put it into repairs for the church.
"It was a great disappointment," Mrs. Cordley remembered. "I had expected to be
married at the same time as my school friend, Kitty."

"After about a year," Dr. Cordley wrote, "I went back (to Michigan) and brought my
wife. She was English born, and had enjoyed a delightful childhood in her father's house
in Nottingham. Her father and mother dying, she came to America at the age of fourteen
to live with her aunt. It was a great change from her father's English home, with all its
comforts, to a farmhouse in the back woods. But she adapted herself to the new life with
the zest of her ardent nature. Gathering flowers and berries in the woods, and boating on
the lake, she was happy all day long. She was educated at the seminary at Ypsilanti, one
of the best schools in that region. When she came to Kansas, farm life in Michigan had
gathered about it all the comforts of civilization, and she entered into the experience of
pioneering for the second time.
" At first we lived in a hired house in the outskirts of the town. Then we secured a home
of our own. It was a little cottage on a gentle slope on New York street. It stood on the
open prairie, but we soon had some flowers and shrubs and trees growing, and it became
quite an attractive spot. There were only three small rooms below, and two half-story
chambers about six hundred dollars a year, as prices then were, did not allow a very large
margin for costly furniture, but the pastor's wife had a knack for home-making, and a
few dainty touches can make simple things show to advantage. A cheap but pretty paper
transformed the walls, a simple but bright carpet covered the floor, and everything in the
room seemed as if it belonged there. It was as cozy a home as one could find anywhere.
After the custom ofthe time it was painted white, with green blinds, and looked very
pretty among the growing trees."
"And that little home entertained more people than many a pretentious mansion.
Lawrence seemed to be one day's journey from everywhere. No matter where one started
from he would reach Lawrence the first night. Brethren, traveling, always spent a night in
our home, usually going and returning. A barn or shed built by myself, sheltered their
horses as our house sheltered them. Not only ministers, but laymen in the churches, at
our request, came to our house as they passed through town. Ministers coming to Kansas
always came to our house first to confer about their locations and their fields, and very
often to leave their families with us, while they went to look up their fields. In some
cases this required two or three weeks. It was a rare company of people which gathered
in that little home from time to time, and their presence brightened up our life
wonderfully. Sometimes it threw a burden on the pastor's wife, but she bore it cheerfully,
and I can testify that the most cultured of our visitors seemed to enjoy her dining-room .
more than they did my study. Once a very handsome team drove up with a couple of
gentlemen. They were one of our pastors and a wealthy layman of his church. They were
making a tour of the State, and stopped to spend the night with us. They were both
charming men, and we enjoyed their visit very much. III the morning they lingered a
while after breakfast, and at last we reluctantly bade them good-bye. After they were

8

�gone Mrs. Cordley began to clear the table, and found that the lay brother had left a
dollar under his plate. She sat down and had a good cry. She had enjoyed their visit so
much, and it spoiled it all to feel that he thought hospitality could be bought with money.
"The pastor's home was also a sort of a parish house. Officers, committees and members
often met there to confer; the ladies met for entertainments and socials and sewing; and
young people were especially made to feel at home. Mrs. Cordley had a meeting of
young ladies nearly every week at our house to spend an afternoon. Sometimes they
sewed, sometimes they had readings, and sometimes they had singing and prayer. Her
chief aim was that the meetings sould never be tedious, and never degenerate into
frivolity. Here they planned for picnics, socials and fairs, and other means of interesting
girls and helping the church. There were usually twenty or more present, filling the little
parlor to its utmost capacity... Thus the daughters of Plymouth Church learned early to do
their part."
"Once my wife baked up a large batch of mince pies for the Christmas season. With her,
making mince pies was a fine art, and she had had unusual success this time. Just as she
was taking the last pie out of the oven, one of our country families, whom we esteemed
very highly, came in. Mrs CordIey could not resist the temptation of having them sample
her pies. So one of th pies was cut, and very soon disposed of. Before they had quite
finished eating their pie, another family came in, and a second pie was disposed of. And
so it kept on all the afternoon with no place where she could break the connection. We
were spared, therefore, any bad dreams from that batch of pies."
Dr Cordley had just finished a three weeks exchange with the Kansas city pastor when
the Quantrell raid came on 21 August 1863. He and Mrs.Cordley had been glad to get
back from Kansas City, he notes, and to have forty miles between them and the border
ruffians. Of the return home, he writes:
"Our little cottage had just been repainted, and as we approached it in the
moonlight, that evening it seemed a gem among the trees that were jut growing up around
it. It was or first home, and like all first homes, was very dear to us. We walked around
about to view it from several different points. We had the full comfort of it all the next
day."
Then came the raid. Dr. Cordley was one of the many marked for special attention. He
was sought for earnestly, but not found. His home, however, was burned and all its
contents. He remained on the field taking his Spencer rifle, doing guard duty in the city
in rotation with other citizens."
The Cordleys had to run for their lives to escape. In the afternoon, after that terrible
morning of doing what could be done to help the bereaved ones, they found time tovisit
the ruins of their own home. Dr. CordIey described the scene:
"All that remained was a bed of embers and ashes. Not a book or sermon, not a
letter orpaper, not a relic of childhood or memento of friend was saved. As we stood
looking at the disconsolate scene, Mrs. CordIey quietly wept. The Rev. Bodley

9

�(superintendent of missions) turned to her and said in his gentlest tones, 'Don't cry Mary.
You have got all you asked for. We are all here.' No more tears were shed for the ruined
home. So many all about were carrying heavier sorrows tht we could but be thankful at
our own escape. '
A further sadness was to come to Mary Cordley with the death of her husband on 11 July
1904. They had earlier lost two baby daughters, Minnie and Lilie, in 1867 and 1869 .. In
1908 she moved to Topeka to live with a friend, Mrs. Lucia O. Case. She said that she
left Lawrence and came to Topeka to live because Lawrence reminded her of sorrow
inher life. "My husband is buried there, and my two baby daughters," she told a Topeka
Daily Capitol reporter on 9 May 1909.
A report (undated) in the Topeka Daily Herald in the library of the Kansas State
Historical Society said:
"One day last week Mrs. Richard Cordley, an aged woman well known to all
Kansans, was rescued from the river where she had attempted to drown herself. She gave
lonesomeness as the reason she wished to die. Her husband died a year or mor ago and
she has lived alone, or almost altogether alone. Hencefore she will have companions. But
it seems hardly possible to those who knowher or know about her that she will ever again
have company, in the real sense of the work, 'this side of the river'.
"Undoubtedly her mind was affected, but that only makes the incident sadder. In her
younger days she was a strong woman-stronger that the average woman who is a leader
in her community. Her husband, Richard Cordley, and she were among the earliest
pioneers in Kansas. He was a minister of the Congregational faith; she was a faithful and
effective worked in his congregation. To students of Kansas University his figure was a
familiar one for thirty-odd years. Less was seen of her by the students and by the general
public, but she was no less a faithful and efficient worker than her husband. Over and
over again both of them emed such rewards as are supposed to be the deserts of faithful
stewards.
"And now, her life-long companion and supporter gone, her mind was weakened greatly,
the woe of lonesomeness eating into her heart, this aged woman tries to end it all."
"To Mrs. Cordley in her sadness and loneliness there will go out a heartfelt sympathy
from a host of friends who held her and her good husband in high esteem in the years that
are gone."
She was laid to rest beside her husband in Oak Grove cemetery in Lawrence along with
their two baby daughters. Surviving were two grandchildren, Richard C. And Alfred M.
Griffith, sons of W.E. Griffith and their daughter Maggie who had died earlier.

Ed. Comment: I haven't tried a majority of these but they should be interesting and offer
several opportunities.
Recording Locations.
The way in which you record locations in your research should reflect the name of the
place, the county, parish, or other geopolitical area in which it was located, ·etc. Here are
some examples:

�I, the editor, have been doing research on a Lawrence resident who moved here in 1872
and died here in 1939. She and her husband were quite wealthy and she did a great 'many
good things for the City of Lawrence and the University of Kansas. Elizabeth Miller
Watkins. One of the questions has always been, "Why did she quit school at 15 and start
working for Jabez Watkins?" The story has been that she had to help support the family
but her father was a doctor so it didn't seem reasonable that they were poor. Around the
time that she quit school, 1874, there was a grasshopper devastation so it has been
speculated that no one could pay the doctor. In reading and looking on the Internet I came
across an index to Civil War Pension Records. He father had been a surgeon in the war so
I looked at those indices. Sure enough there he was but he didn't get a pension until 1880.
Why the interlude. I needed to look at that Pension Record. I could order the complete
file fro the National Archives at http://archives.gov/research/order. The catch was that it
would cost me $75.00. If! could go to Washington I could look at it for free but
obviously it would cost more to go there than order it. So I ordered it and it came in three
weeks although they told me probably much longer. I was amazed at the information that
was in it and I am going to share some of it with you.
It is 37 pages all photocopied.
It begins with the Claimants Affidavit which is my person of interest, Valentine Miller,
stating when he was in the Civil War and what service unit he was with, the battle that he
was in where he got the dysentery, when they moved to Kansas and who has treated him.
Following that is the Physicians Affidavit. This is done by a local doctor who has
examined him and is stating what is wrong with him. He has chronic diarrhea which he
contracted in a battle of the Civil War while he was a surgeon.
Next is the Medical Evidence. From this document, done by a doctor New Paris, Ohio
where the family lived during the war, we learn the regiment that he was in, that he was
physically just fine in the until the fall of 1862, when he returned to New Paris with
diarrhea which he contracted in the Army. The Dr saw him in October of 1862 and later in
September 1864. He was frequently "consulted by Dr. V.G. Miller in relation to diarrhea
which trouble him with more or less severity till he moved from New Paris to Lawrence in
the fall of 1872." His pension is granted.
Then there are documents concerning his widow and her right to his pension. Valentine
dies in 1888.
From all this information and there is much more in the file I could determine that indeed
Valentine was a sick man and that is why Elizabeth had to quit school to help with the
family. I found it interesting that they did not apply for a pension until 1880 when she
quit school in 1874 but the bureaucracy then was not much better than it is now and they
may not have wanted to go to so much trouble until it was absolutely necessary.
If any of you have the possibility of using Pension Records I would certainly encourage it
even with the fee imposed. It is well worth the cost

�Editors note: I was looking through some family history files and found this one which
was done in the 80's by Thomas Gortonwhen he was the Society's genealogists. I
thought it merited republication.

The obituary in the Lawrence Journal World of 1 December 1914 had bold headlines:
A STRONG WOMAN GONE
Mrs. Richard Cordley figured extensively in early Kansas history. Funeral will be atthe
Congregational Church where she labored so long.
Details followed about the widow of Dr. Richard Cordley, pioneer pastor of the
Plymouth Congregational Church of Lawrence. Born in Malster, Nottingham, England'
on 13 April 1832 as Mary Minta Cox, she was the daughter of John and Elizabeth Cragg
(Minta) Cox. Her husband, Dr. Cordley, had been born also in Nottingham.
A relative, Evelyn Ingham of Escalon, California, who has had some correspondence
with the Douglas County Genealogical Society, wrote of her disappointment that Mrs.
Cordley's obituary did not provide more details of the family in England, but speculated
that perhaps since "they were so religious, Mrs. Cordley might not care to have everyone
knowing that her family had owned the Druid's Tavern and the Horse &amp; Groom, and that
her uncle (who raised her in Michigan after the death of her parents) also owned a tavern
there."
In his book "Pioneer Days in Kansas", published by Boston's Pilgrim Press in 1909, Dr.
Cordley wrote movingly about his beloved wife, her contributions to his career and their
life together.
"On account of the unsettled condition of the country I came alone to Kanas in 1857. The
day I entered Lawrence I found the town very full of people. They jostled each other on
the streets and stood in knots on the comers. I began to think Lawrence a pretty lively
place. But I soon learned that a great free State Convention was in session. 'The
administration at Washington proposed to force on the people of Kansas the hated
Lecompton constitution."
This was the historic convention of 2 December 1857 which was called to protest agaiJ;lst
a constitution which recognized slavery. It was held in the unfinished building of
.
Plymouth Church, call the Old Stone Church. An account in the Kansas City Star related
that "its windows were boarded up, and its doors were rough boards'nailed together, btlt
it was the best meeting place in town, and was used for many important gatherings, aside
from those of a religious nature. Winter was coming on when Dr. Cordley arrived, and
the unplastered walls were comfortless!"
He took his own small amount of savings, with which he had planned to return east for
7

�his bride, and instead put it into repairs for the church.
"It was a great disappointment," Mrs. Cordley remembered. "I had expected to be
married at the same time as my school friend, Kitty."
"After about a year," Dr. Cordley wrote, "I went back (to Michigan) and brought my
wife. She was English born, and had enjoyed a delightful childhood in her father's house
in Nottingham. Her father and mother dying, she came to America at the age of fourteen
to live with her aunt. It was a great change from her father's English home, with all its
comforts, to a farmhouse in the back woods. But she adapted herself to the new life with
the zest of her ardent nature. Gathering flowers and berries in the woods, and boating on
the lake, she was happy all day long. She was educated at the seminary at Ypsilanti, one
of the best schools in that region. When she came to Kansas, farm life in Michigan had
gathered about it all the comforts of civilization, and she entered into the experience of
pioneering for the second time.
" At first we lived in a hired house in the outskirts of the town. Then we secured a home
of our own. It was a little cottage on a gentle slope on New York street. It stood on the
open prairie, but we soon had some flowers and shrubs and trees growing, and it became
quite an attractive spot. There were only three small rooms below, and two half-story
chambers about six hundred dollars a year, as prices then were, did not allow a very large
margin for costly furniture, but the pastor's wife had a knack for home-making, and a
few dainty touches can make simple things show to advantage. A cheap but pretty paper
transformed the walls, a simple but bright carpet covered the floor, and everything in the
room seemed as if it belonged there. It was as cozy a home as one could find anywhere.
After the custom ofthe time it was painted white, with green blinds, and looked very
pretty among the growing trees."
"And that little home entertained more people than many a pretentious mansion.
Lawrence seemed to be one day's journey from everywhere. No matter where one started
from he would reach Lawrence the first night. Brethren, traveling, always spent a night in
our home, usually going and returning. A barn or shed built by myself, sheltered their
horses as our house sheltered them. Not only ministers, but laymen in the churches, at
our request, came to our house as they passed through town. Ministers coming to Kansas
always came to our house first to confer about their locations and their fields, and very
often to leave their families with us, while they went to look up their fields. In some
cases this required two or three weeks. It was a rare company of people which gathered
in that little home from time to time, and their presence brightened up our life
wonderfully. Sometimes it threw a burden on the pastor's wife, but she bore it cheerfully,
and I can testify that the most cultured of our visitors seemed to enjoy her dining-room
more than they did my study. Once a very handsome team drove up with a couple of
gentlemen. They were one of our pastors and a wealthy layman of his church. They were
making a tour of the State, and stopped to spend the night with us. They were both
charming men, and we enjoyed their visit very much. In the morning they lingered a
while after breakfast, and at last we reluctantly bade them good-bye. After they were

8

�gone Mrs. Cordley began to clear the table, and found that the lay brother had left a,
dollar under his plate. She sat down and had a good cry. She had enjoyed their visit so
much, and it spoiled it all to feel that he thought hospitality could be bought with money.
"The pastor's home was also a sort of a parish house. Officers, committees and members
often met there to confer; the ladies met for entertainments and socials and sewing; and
young people were especially made to feel at home. Mrs. Cordley had a meeting of'
young ladies nearly every week at our house to spend an afternoon. Sometimes they,
sewed, sometimes they had readings, and sometimes they had singing and prayer. Her
, chief 'aim was that the meetings sould never be tedious, and never degenerate into
frivolity. Here they planned for picnics, socials and fairs, and other means of interesting
girls and helping the church. There were usually twenty or more present, filling the little
parlor to its utmost capacity... Thus the daughters of Plymouth Church learned early to do
.
.
their part."
,

"Once my wife baked up a large batch of mince pies for the Christmas season. With her,
making mince pies was a fine art, and she had had unusual success this time. Just as she
was taking the last, pie out of the oven, one of our country families, whom we esteemed
very highly, came in. Mrs Cordley could not resist the temptation of having them sample
her pies. So one of th pies was cut, and very soon disposed of. Before they had quite'
finished eating their pie, another family came in, and a second pie was disposed of. And
so it kept on all the afternoon with no place where she could break the connection. We
were spared, therefore; any bad dreams from that batch of pies."
Dr Cordley had just finished a three weeks exchange with the Kansas city pastor when
the Quantrell raid came on 21 August 1863. He and Mrs.Cordley had been glad to get"
back from Kansas City, he notes, and to have forty miles between them and the border
ruffians. Of the return home, he writes:
"Our little cottage had just been repainted, and as we approached it in t h e .
moonlight, that evening it seemed a gem among the trees that were jut growing up around
it. It was or first home, and like all first homes, was very dear to us. We walked around
about to view it from several different points. We had the full comfort of it all the next
day."
Then came the raid. Dr. Cordley was one of the many marked for special attention. He
was sought for earnestly, but not found. His home, however, was burned and all its
contents. He remained on the field taking his Spencer rifle, doing guard duty in the city
in rotation with other citizens."
The Cordleys had to run for their lives to escape. In the afternoon, after that terrible
morning of doing what could be done'to help the bereaved ones, they found time tovisit
the ruins of their own home. Dr. Cordley described the scene:
"All that remained was a bed of embers and ashes. Not a book or sermon, not a'
letter orpaper, not a relic of childhood or memento of friend was saved. As we stood
looking at the disconsolate scene, Mrs. Cordley quietly wept. The Rev. Bodley

9

�(superintendent of missions) turned to her and said in his gentlest tones, 'Don't cry Mary.
You have got all you asked for. We are all here.' No more tears were shed for the ruined
home. So many all about were carrying heavier sorrows tht we could but be thankful at
our own escape. '
A further sadness was to come to Mary Cordley with the death of her husband on 11 July
1904. They had earlier lost two baby daughters, Minnie and Lilie, in 1867 and 1869. In
1908 she moved to Topeka to live with a friend, Mrs. Lucia O. Case. She said that she
left Lawrence and came to Topeka to live because Lawrence reminded her of sorrow
inher life. "My husband is buried there, and my two baby daughters," she told a Topeka
Daily Capitol reporter on 9 May 1909.
A report (undated) in the Topeka Daily Herald in the library of the Kansas State
Historical Society said:
"One day last week Mrs. Richard Cordley, an aged woman well known to all
Kansans, was rescued from the river where she had attempted to drown herself. She gave
lonesomeness as the reason she wished to die. Her husband died a year or mor ago and
she has lived alone, or almost altogether alone. Hencefore she will have companions. But
it seems hardly possible to those who knowher or know about her that she will ever again
have company, in the real sense of the work, 'this side of the river'.
"Undoubtedly her mind was affected, but that only makes the. incident sadder. In her
younger days she was a strong woman-stronger that the average woman who is a leader
in her community. Her husband, Richard Cordley, and she were among the earliest
pioneers in Kansas. He was a minister of the Congregational faith; she was a faithful and
effective worked in his congregation. To students of Kansas University his figure was a
familiar one for thirty-odd years. Less was seen of her by the students and by the general
public, but she was no less a faithful and efficient worker than her husband. Over and
over again both of them emed such rewards as are supposed to be the deserts of faithful
stewards.
"And now, her life-long companion and supporter gone, her mind was weakened greatly,
the woe of lonesomeness eating into her heart, this aged woman tries to end it alL"
"To Mrs. Cordley in her sadness and loneliness there 'Yill go out a heartfelt sympathy
from a host of friends who held her and her good husband in high esteem in the years that
are gone."
She was laid to rest beside her husband in Oak Grove cemetery in Lawrence along with
. their two baby daughters. Surviving were two grandchildren, Richard C. And Alfred M.
Griffith, sons ofW.E. Griffith and their daughter Maggie who had died earlier.

This is a letter I came across written, I believe, by Abby Hiatt.
Grandma Hiatt was afraid of Indians. She saw two coming across the prairie on
horses and as soon as possible used the stone chicken house to screen them from view. Soon
one rode to the house, and she saw the other one peeking from behind the hen house. She got m~d
and asked why the other one was hiding. "Him got no blanket" was the reply. When they left they
rode away in plain view and the one really "got no blanket"!
She left boiling water on the stove to use in case of unwelcome visitors.
She would send Aunt Oaxie to the door if Indians came.
She and Grandad saw the smoke of burning Lawrence, a they drove to town.

HER BLOOD BE ON HIM
From The Republican Journal, Saturday, July 22, 1876.
The dead body of a young woman was taken, on Wednesday last, from the Kansas river not far '
from its mouth. Upon identification the body proved to be that of the wife of Ledford, the criminal
who escaped from jail here along with McDaniels and Dunn. Deceased was somewhat known by
many persons here, and her story, touchingly told in he Kansas City Times, will serve to excite'
new condemnation for the miscreant whom she loved and for whom she died:
\

Kate Donovan was the only daughter of a poor but hard working farmer near Muncie station, a few
miles west of Kansas City, on the Kansas Pacific railroad. Kate did not agree well with her stepmother, and left home about two years ago and came to Kansas City to get work for herself In due
time she met, loved and married a brakeman names Edward Ledford, who was employed on the '
Missouri Pacific railroad. They were married by Father Dalton, at the residence of Alderman
Patrick Fay in West Kansas City. Soon after marriage Ledford was arrested with others for an
alleged theft of goods from a railroad train. Ledford was sent to jail in Lawrencem wherehe aided
and assisted Bud McDaniels, the Muncie train robber, to make his escape. McDaniels was killed in
the pursuit and Ledford escaped.
His wife, then only seventeen years of age and devotedly attached to her husband, took his
disgrace much to heart. She went to work for a living and while she could reach her husband sent
'
all her earnings to him in jail. She worked for John Kelly, at the Astor House, where she was
generally liked and respected. She worked t Jeremiah Down's residence up to the death of Mrs.
Dowd, and at all times appeared grief-stricken and sad on account of her husband. Some said he
had changed his name and escaped. But it was all the same to poor Katie. About two months ago:
she went to work in the dining of the Mansion House, in West Kansas. She continued to work
there sad and disconsolate and often sick with grief. On Monday morning she left the Mansion
House, after dressing herself in her best calico dress. It was her shroud. She said she was sick and
was going home. She bade Mr. and Mrs. Cunningham and their daughter farewell. Instead of
going down to Muncie she went to the house of a Mrs. Lee, where she spent the night in evident
misery. On Wednesday she went out and paid one or two little trifling debts for sewing. Then she
went to the Kansas river, and selecting a shallow place, in the cool of the evening laid herself
down in the water and died. Poor girl! Hers was a brief history-no schooing, no friends, erly

4

�marriage to a worthless scoundrel, and a tragic close to a life which to her seemed all sadness, ,all
barren of beauty and happiness. In her despair she quietly sought the placid, still Kaw river, and
"In she plunged boldly
No matter how coldly;
Mad from life's history,
Glad to death's mystery,
Swift to be hurled
Anywhere, anyhow,
Out of this world."

July 6, 1860

Dear Sir,
About a year ago a man by the name of Buckhaman commenced running a weekly hack from
Cottonwood Falls to Lawrence and contracted to me to stop at my house over night each week,
promising me that you, and another man whose name I think was Hill would pay me at the end of
each month. He made one or two trips since which time [ have never seen him for what time he
stopped with me his bill was two dollars. Now if you have sent me the prefs to the amount of paid
two dollars please dis----- it for I hope you will not send me the paper with the hope or intention of
making me pay for it in future. You will remember that I told you at the start not to send it and pay
for it, and should have requested you to stop it long ago but? you would rather pay Buchanans ,
board bill that way than any other.
Very respectfully yours,

�UNCLE JIMMY GREEN
An article from the Journal World, December 9, 1928. By Lida Eckdall
To some students the name of "Uncle Jimmy" Green may bring memories- to others it probably
means a statue in front of the School of Law building. Traditions change with the passing years
even as the poignancy of vivid moments fades with the coming of present thoughts. Yet some
vestige of those moments still remains as the basis of the better present. Such a tradition is "Uncle
Jimmy" Green.
.
"Uncle Jimmy's" true name was James Wood Green, but he won the more affectionate title by·
right of conquest over the hearts of the Hill. For more than forty years he was dean of the K.U.
School of Law and a valued friend and adviser.
Although Dean Green was a native of New York he came to Kansas in 1869 and began practicing
law in Olathe, Kansas. He came to Lawrence in 1878 as the first dean of the School of Law and as
county attorney of Douglas County. Here it was that the greatest work of his lifetime took place.
He was a central figure at football rallies where he was sometimes called upon to speak, and was a
regular attendant at all athletic contests, where he had a front-line seat always reserved for the
season.
Cyrus Crane, LL.B. '87, says of "Uncle Jimmy," "And yet it was not "Uncle Jimmy's work as a
teacher that endeared him to all. The University has had many teachers equal and superior to Uncle
Jimmy as an instructor. It was because he was a man of heart, because he took a friendly interest in
every student who came into touch with him, that made him the most beloved man at K.U. He had
no children of his own, but his heart went out to students and they were always his friends."
He never forgot any of his friends or students and one day when asked why he was able to
remember them all he said, "Why because they're my boys."
.
In Green's will he left a $5000 bequest known as the May Stephens Green loan fund, in memory
of his wife who died in 1916, to be used to help worthy students in the S&lt;;hool of Law.

A California man wrote at the time of Green's death and told how "Uncle Jimmy" had kept him.
from being expelled from the University in disgrace because of a thoughtless act he had
committed. This young man went on and fmished his course in the School of Law, went out, and
became one of the best lawyers in his section of the country. He was later elected chief justice of
the supreme court in the state where he lived.
During the war Green kept a complete list of all his former students in the army and navy. He was
interested in each boy and rejoiced at any honor or distinction that came to him.
In 1906 the law students had a banquet to celebrate the completion of the new School of Law
building which was named in honor of the dean of the school. Since the occasion fell near the
birthday anniversary of Green, the event was made an annual one. For fifteen years the "Uncle~
Jimmy" Green banquets were events for scores of Kansas lawyers.
Dean Green did not belong to the motor age. Horses appealed to him and one time he owned a fine
team of them, behind which he and Mrs. Green used to drive about Lawrence.
.

Experts say that Daniel Chester French, the renowned sculptor who designed the bronze statue in
front of Green Hall has caught the spirit of "Uncle Jimmy" Green and made it into a great work of
art.
BODWELL RECEPTION

The Baldwin Bee, 8 October 1896
At the residence of Mr. Levi Bodwell was held, Wednesday night, a most pleasant
reception in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Edd Bodwell who start for Portland Oregon today.
At this reception were gathered the oldest settlers in Palmyra township. Old and gray,
many of them, but upon this pleasant occasion, filled again with the fire and jubilance of
youth. Little companies gathered here and there and told with renewed interest the long
forgotten tales of the good old days when Kansas was in her infancy, tales of hardships, of
sorrows, of adventure and of jolly good times. Indeed their good old hearts seemed
overflowing with the stirring old tales of long ago, so interesting and so little known by
the younger generation. Indeed there seems to be a secret bond of happy unison and
heart-felt relish in the fellowship of these old co-laborers in the building of a state, a kind
of harmony, of binding together of old relationships and friendly ties moulded and
strengthened through long years of hardships and toil, which fills the young and giddy
generation with envy.
A multifarious collection of eatables was on hand, brought by each guest, pies, cakes,
bread rolls, enough for a princely repast.
In the list below of the old settlers present their ages are given in the first column and the
date of their settlement here in the second .

Lucy Estabrook is a Real Daughter of the American Revolution (her father fought in the,
Revolutionary War) who is buried in Oak Hill Cemetery. This letter was written by Mary
Robinson in 1899 to have her designated as a Real Daughter. Her grave was honored this
Spring by the State and Betty Washington Chapter of the DAR.

Mrs. Lucy Pratt Estabrook
(This is a letter from Mary L. Robinson to DAR in 1899
Near the quiet village of Weston, Middlesex Co., Mass., Lucy, the youngest
of the twelve children of Paul Pratt, was born August 29, 1818. Her father
had served his country during the Revolutionary War and with characteristic
New England thrift and industry was possessed of the moderate demands of
the times. His second wife, Lydia Gates, (whose father was a cousin of
General Gates) died when little Lucy was three years old. On her fifth
birthday a step-mother came to the home and with the new Mother, came the
need of a new house. Mr. Pratt used his pension toward the building of a
larger house which so exasperated the envious neighbors who had wasted
their money, that he was declared to be too fore-handed to need a pension and
it was withheld from him. Five years later he died and his widow received the
amount due him and in the final settlement of the estate, the share for each'
child was eighteen dollars. At this time, Lucy, now ten years old was sent to a
neighbor to remain until of age, working for her board and clothes, with the
privilege of attending the three months term of school. From scanty clothing
and exposure in that cold clime, she was sick so much the family did not
want to ,keep her and at the end of four years service, went home. Later, she,
went to work in a paper mill in Newton, boarded with her half-brother and
attended evening school. The following years were spent in various places
8

�with no cessation of toil. In Cambridge Port on March 20, 1853 she married
Wm. Estabrook, a widower with two sons and in 1855 the family, including
Mr. Estabrook's Mother went to Kansas, arriving.in Lawrence March 21 st •
Mrs. Estabrook's marriage was most unfortunate and the three years of
country life were far from pleasant, the loss of letters from friends adding to
her sorrow in the prairie home. In 1858, Mr. Estabrook with his Mother left
the territory and his wife cast her lot among the settlers, determined to do .
whatever her hands found necessary. Those who have known her for more
than forty years, the greater part of the time being spent in Lawrence, give
evidence of her success and tell how well she acted her part, as nurse she is
kindly remembered for efficient work among the sick, as housekeeper, ever
faithful.
When·seventy eight years old she became a charter member of Betty
Washington and always attends the meetings when held within three quarters
of a mile of her home, walking the distance, because riding causes dizziness.
Of slender figure, her movements about the house are as quick as many
people of less years and with sight little impaired she reads the newspapers:
with interest also the American Monthly to which she is a subscriber. Before
her marriage she joined the Baptist church and was a consistent member until
the weight of years obliged her to attend a nearer church, the Presbyterian.
The death of her Father occurred when she was so young the remembrance of
him is limited. An incident is recalled of her Uncle who was a soldier. While
on guard at night he noticed a tree in the distance. The next time in passing
the spot it appeared to be nearer, again he passed and it was nearer. He cried,
halt, no answer. Halt, again no answer. He fired and the object fell to the
ground, which proved to be an Indian disguised with a covering of evergreen
branch to resemble a tree. Doubtless he expected to slay the faithful guard, by
whose weapon he met his death. Mr Pratt volunteered as substitute for a
soldier, when seventeen years of age, thinking the war would soon be over...
The following year he was drafted and served until the close of the war,
though never went out of the state. Mrs. Estabrook is the sole survivor of her
family and has no living relative as far as she knows. She has had a home
with kind friends for nearly twenty years and with her acquaintance, Mrs.
Mercy Lincoln Faxon, another Real Daughter, forms the only link that binds
the Betty Washington chapter to the scenes of"76" as proven by the souvenir
spoon, so highly priced.

�With the advent of another century so near at hand the Declaration of
Independence and the Revolutionary War will be ancient history but none the
less let us remember the privations and deeds of valor that saved to us a
country and words of wisdom which have come from heroic ancestors, a

PIONEER
CEMETERY (ALSO CALLED PIONEER
RIDGE) by Mary Burchill '
,
c
Pioneer Cemetery was established soon after the settlement of Lawrence, 1854, and burial
was by permission and without system or plot. It was the fIrst public burying ground for
the use of citizens of Lawrence, and was originally called Oread Cemetery. Much of the
early history of Lawrence may be reconstructed in the mind of the observer by reading the
inscriptions on the moss covered and broken head stones.
According to records, the fIrst burial was that of a young boy named Moses
Pomeroy, who died October 1, 1854, and was buried "on the hill west of Lawrence" on"
land donated by a resident. The cemetery was a long way from town, two miles west over
rough terrain. As far as can be determined, the grave had no lasting marker. The earliest
date on a stone is the one for Cornelius Campbell who died on April 22, 1855.
Quantrill's raid on August 21, 1863, added many new graves to the cemetery.
Most of the victims were interred there but upon opening Oak Hill Cemetery east of
Lawrence in 1865, many bodies of Quantrill's victims were moved to the new burial
ground. A suitable monument was erected to the memory of the victims.
According to the stones remaining in the old burial grounds a large number of the
victims of the raid still rest where they were fIrst buried. The reinterment of the Quantrill
victims was carried out in 1872. Elmer E. Brown says the GAR, thru the efforts ofC.W.
Smith, applied to the government for markers for the graves of the Wisconsin soldiers and
these were fInally received and set up by Charlie Apitz under the direction of Smith. Some
20 of these markers are still in the Pioneer plot.
, The story of epidemics which swept away children is told by a large number of
little slabs bearing almost the same 'date. Perhaps it was scarlet fever, or diptheria, before
the modem anti-toxins of today were known.
There is also character in the monuments still standing or lying broken on the
ground. We fInd the ephermeral American policy of show in a stucco monument to the
unknown dead and the solid, enduring work of the Germans in solid granite set about
10

�with iron posts and chains which show little wear for their exposure.
Burials are still being allowed today but space is limited. You need pennission
from the University and must be cremated. It is still an active cemetery even more so
since coeds sunbath in the cemetery and students study in the quiet. It seems an
appropriate use of a lovely spot.

WORLD WAR II CAMPANILE

The World War II Memorial Campanile was constructed in 1950 to honor the 277students
and faculty who died serving their country in World War II. Their names are engraved in
the Virginia Greenstone on the east and west walls of the Memorial Room at the base of
the tower. The panels on the south doors of the Memorial Room evoke the emotions and
tragedies of war while those on the north doors depict the history of Kansas and the ideals
toward which the University and humanity continually strive.
The 120-foot Campanile, designed by Homer F. Neville and built of native Kar;tsas
Limestone, contains a 53-bell.carillon cast by the John Taylor Bell Foundry,
Loughborough, England, during 1950-51. It was dedicated on May 27, 1951, and
rededicated on April 26, 1996, following an extensive renovation.
The largest bell of the KU World War II Memorial Carillon was dedicated to the
memory of Olin Templin by the KU Endowment Association to which he served as
Executive Secretary for many years. He graduated from the University of Kansas in 18~6
and returned in 1890 as the University'S first professional philosopher, establishing what
are now the departments of philosophy, sociology and psychology.
The tribute to Templin by the Endowment Association was significant for the fact
that, during the latter years of Templin's long tenure at the University of Kansas, he
.
vigorously sought to construct a carillon tower to honor the memory of the pioneering
settlers of Lawrence for the devastating hardships they had endured, especially during the
Civil War years.
Unfortunately, Templin died in 1943 before the end of World War II. His dreams
and plans were resurrected by the Memorial Association Committee, established to
detennine, from some seventeen proposals, which was the best choice for a memorial to
KU's war dead.
.
The Campanile is an integral part of graduation each May. The procession of .
faculty and graduates fonns on the drive then they pass through the Campanile to begin·
the "walk down the hill". Family and friends line the walkway as the graduates pass
through then as they enter the stadium they pass through the line of faculty. An
unforgettable event.

LAWRENCE AND THE OLD TRAILS

Between Lawrence and Topeka, the Kansas turnpike passes near the route of the old
Oregon-California Trail, traveled in the 1800s by explorers, missionaries, soldiers,
emigrants in search of land and forty-niners in search of gold. Fifteen miles south of here
11

�was the Santa Fe Trail,which for more that 50 years served mainly as a trail of trade and
commerce. From the Missouri River it was some 2,000 miles to Oregon and California
and around 800 to Santa Fe, following trails established centuries earlier by Native '
Americans. Tribes living in this area during the 1800s included the Delaware, Kaw,
Kickapoo, Shawnee, and Wyandot. Markers were put along the entire route of the Santa
Fe Trail by the DAR. The majority of the trail is in Kansas.

Oregon Trail Memorial. J.E. and L.G. Fraser-sculptors
"Beginning in 1849, they plodded up the southern slope of Mount Oread a vast emigration
bound for the golden land of California. One branch of the great California and Oregon
trail thus passed over the very ground now part of the University campus and many a
campfire gleamed on summer nights from the crest where now throngs of students tread."
Plaque by Dr. Howard Briggs, President American Pioneer Trails Association. Setting by
the class of 1916.

BRICKWALL AFTERNOON SESSIONS

The Society has had several "Brickwall" Sessions in the Osma Room of the Lawrence Public
Library. They have all been well attended and we think they were helpful. These sessions are
very informal and intended to help us all with problems and to give suggestions and help. We
think they have been successful and they will continue in the Fall. We're taking the Summer off.,'
Good hunting for your family members.

SAMUEL FITCH
The Baldwin Ledger, 9 March 1900
"HE WENT ABOUT DOING GOOD"
Samuel Fitch was born in Delaware county, New York, June 16, 1826, and died in Baldwin,
Kansas, March 5, 1900. Almost seventy-four years, and in the estimation of many they were years
idly spent and without good results. But he lived for others and in so living forgot himself - yes
more he neglected himself and yet in that neglect he was able to do menial service for mankind
without being accused of having any selfish motives.
We know little of Samuel Fitch's early life. It is said that from childhood he was considered
peculiar and that peculiarity grew to eccentricity. He became a school teacher and developed
splendid gifts in the direction of history, geography and certain lines of classical literature .. he had
a prodigious memory which ifit had been in the possession of other men would have brought them
great renown as scholars. His taste for geography led him to travel and no part ofEurope or South
America was unknown to him. Few pretentious scholars have ever returned from those historic
countries with as deep an historical instinct as he possessed.
Sometimes in the 50's he settled in TIlinois where he taught school again. We draw the curtain
here over the romance of his life. Without any fault of his he went out to pass the rest of his days
in the world alone it was now 1860 and he sought to hide his past in the excitement of those days
in Kansas. He settled in Abilene, afterward went to Garnett and eventually came to Baldwin which
place he called his residence until his death, Had he so desired he might have been a wealthy man
for at one time he owned many acres ofland in lllinois, Iowa and Kansas. His wants were few and
his business acumen keen. He could easily have been a miser as well as a hermit. He was a hermit,
but he was also a philanthropist.
Before he came to Kansas several ofhis immediate family had died of consumption and he decided
that when he came out west he would lead a more out of door life and from that time Nature was

�his daily companion. As a further protection he allowed his hair and beard to grow unkept but even
this could not hide his clear cut features and the kindly look of his countenance. As he grew older
he became more careless in his personal appearance and grew very sensitive about it when the
people of the town offered to clothe him better. He would accept gifts from no one and yet his
whole life was spent in giving good gifts to others.
Not long since he told the writer of this article that he had not missed a single opening address of
Baker University since 1868 and very few commencement exercises found him absent. If he had
a hobby it was education and his inclination in this direction did not stop with simply attending the
opening exercises of Baker University. At one time when this college was seeing its darkest days
without any ostentation and without pulling any string for official recognition he quietly gave to the
college a deed for 160 acres ofland. Did some children in the town lack the means securing their
school books; Mr. Fitch would be seen at their doors with the necessary books. Was cold weather
approaching and some children ill prepared to go to school in the stormy weather, he could be seen
walking up the streets ofBaldwin with a number ofdifferent sizes of children's shoes across his arm
and he himself so poorly clad that passers by would stop and wonder as he passed.
While in Abilene he found a little girl whose parents were too poor to send her to school and yet
she was ambitious to go. He quietly furnished her with the means and kept her in college until she
was able to earn a good livelyhood teaching.
Twenty years passed away and that same girl was in Baldwin. Mr. Fitch was pointed out to her
as he was pulling weeds along the street. That he was in the garb of a vagrant and was pulling
weeds for people who hadn't pride enough in their own surroundings to do it themselves, was not
attracting any special attention. But this young lady was surprised beyond measure; nevertheless
she rushed over to him, introduced herselfand told her benefactor how much she appreciated what
he had done for her
A short time before his death, Mr. Fitch inquired of one who knew this young lady ifhe ever heard
from her any more and then with a far-offlook he "wondered ifshe still remembered what he had
done for her." Poor man, he had given his whole life in ministerings to others without questioning
and without hoping for thanks but when the end drew near out of the lonesomeness of his soul
came this feeble yearning for human sympathy and love.
In the early days of Kansas, when everything was a struggle, the Bible Society of the state was
without funds to carry on their work. The frontiersmen had all they could do to supply the
necessities of life and it seemed that the Society was going to be compelled to give up its work.
Here again Mr. Fitch quietly came to the rescue and deeded 40 acres ofland to the Society and it
was thus enabled to continue. But after Mr. Fitch had given away all his property he did not stop
his works of charity but working here and there, he would earn some money all of which went to
help somebody else. After he was dead only two pennies were found upon his person. But those
two pennies speak more eloquently of the deeds of the departed than the full coffers of the rich
man. The miser's coffers are full but his soul is empty. This man's soul is full although his pockets
held but two copper pennies.
The funeral services were held in the M. E. Church, the sermon being delivered by Rev. John
Moorhead. The city authorities purchased a lot in Oakwood cemetery and the remains were laid

�to rest in a manner well worthy of one of our best citizens.
Years ago men dressed in homely garb, denied themselves of many things that we call necessities
oflife and punished themselves in a bodily way in every conceivable manner. But they separated
themselves from the world and thought they were holy because they kept from the world. This man
also dressed in homely garb. He denied himself many necessities. he allowed himself no self
indulgence. But he was no coward. He faced the world. It had given him disappointment, it had
given him deep sorrow but he went among men doing food. Who shall limit his influence? Who
shall say his learning was all for naught. Who shall say he was not a hero when he always was the
servant of others and his lips were never open to complaint? Who shall say what his life in the next
world shall be for "they serve God well who serve his creatures."
ERECT A MONUMENT
The least thing that Baldwin people can do in return for the many things that Samuel Fitch has
done for this town wold be to erect a modest granite marker over his grave. Almost one half of
this life was spent here. He has done favors unasked for, all of us if it was no more tan to clean
the street crossings that we might go over with ease. We surely will not let the coming generation
find an un-marked grave which would eventually become an unknown grave.

�The Baldwin Bee, 8 October 1896
At the residence of Mr. Levi Bodwell was held, Wednesday night, a most pleasant reception in
honor of Mr. and Mrs. Edd Bodwell who start for Portland Oregon today.
At this reception were gathered the oldest settlers in Palmyra township. Old and gray, many of
them, but upon this pleasant occasion, filled again with the fire and jubilance of youth. Little
companies gathered here and there and told with renewed interest the long forgotten tales of the
good old days when Kansas was in her infancy, tales of hardships, of sorrows, of adventure and of
jolly good times. Indeed their good old hearts seemed overflowing with the stirring old tales of
long ago, so interesting and so little known by the younger generation. Indeed there seems to be
a secret bond of happy unison and heart-felt relish in the fellowship of these old co-laborers in the
building of a state, a kind of harmony, of binding together of old relationships and friendly ties
moulded and strengthened through long years ofhardships and toil, which fills the young and giddy
generation with envy.
A multifarious collection of eatables was on hand, brought by each guest, pies, cakes, bread rolls,
enough for a princely repast.
In the list below of the old settlers present their ages are given in the first column and the date of
their settlement here in the second.

did their last service at about the same place and same time - Davis Bluff, Arkansas. They did not
know it until lately, while talking together they were surprised to learn that they were mustered out
at the same place. The Baldwin Ledger, 11 Jan. 1929

�G. A. R. POST DISBANDS AFTER FORTY-FIVE YEARS
CHARTER WAS GRANTED LOCAL BODY IN 1883
Rev. C. W. Bailey Is Only Living Member of Parent Organization Which Has Made Much Local
History.
The Rev. C. W. Bailey is the only living charter member of the Baker post of the G. A. R. to
witness its dissolution. To him it must be a source of pride and thankfulness but there is a tone of
sympathy and patriotism which covers the heartbeat ofa Civil War soldier, when he knows that his
comrades have fallen and he must stand alone.
With the death of Samuel Gardner the five living G. A. R. members of the local post saw fit to
disband because of the small membership and the incapacity of those to carry on with regular
routine business. These members include: W. J. Russell, N. F. Payne, S. Bruner, S. S. Shumaker
and C. W. Bailey.
ASK PERMISSION TO DISBAND
Papers have been sent to the state G. A. R. headquarters in Topeka informing officials of the
abandonment of the post. The charter will be returned but the archives, the post flag and a copy
of the charter will be retained for posterity's use.
It was in January 1883 that a meeting was called to discuss the formation of a G. A. R. post here.
Lawrence members came to assist in organization plans. Two months later on the 16th of March
a charter was granted. The formation ofthe post occurred in the hall now occupied by the Masonic
lodge. The purpose of the organization like similar posts was to function primarily as a social and
patriotic organization. But its capacity also included the functions of a Chamber of Commerce.
And in those capacities the G. A. R.' s have made history for Baldwin.
FIFTY IN CHARTER GROUP
There were about fifty charter members. This group soon had grown to 200 and was one of the
most active small posts in the state. Ed Gaddis was elected the first commander. There was some
discussion as to whether the post should be called the Baker or the Davis post. Colonel Davis, in
war time, was President Davis in peace times at Baker.
Patriotism stood out among all members. To the victors belong the spoils but the comrades of
the Grand Army of the Rebellion were desirous of dividing up, and rather than ask for money,
office, land options or pensions, the soldiers retired to private life without seeking recompense. It
was this attitude of the soldiers which brought to them a well-earned honor and distinction as being
fair, honorable and sincere with the enemy in peace.
FIRST PENSIONS IN 1887
Deaths in the ranks brought on families who needed help and the post did its utmost to retrieve
for the loss of comrades by personal attentions to those grieved and dependent ones. Not until
1887 did the government consider seriously the payment of pensions to wounded soldiers of (or?)
their dependents. Eight dollars a month was considered sufficient to care for a total incapacitated
soldier and his family. And not until 1890 did aid of any sort come from the government.
The pride of the posts were the programs on Decoration Day and Memorial Sunday. Armed with
rifles and carrying flags, the soldiers would march in company formation to the hall. Graves at the
cemetery were always marked. Now a head stone furnished by the government marks the burial
places.
Saddened hearts receive the news of the post's retirement from active life. But the marks of

�citizenship and patriotism will never erase as the last ofthe war heroes pass on to a home not made
by hands eternal in the heavens.

1940 CENSUS DUE IN 2012
(This is part of an article on Ancestry.com).
Was your ancestor among the 14.6% of Americans whe were unemployed in 1940? Did family
member work on"New Deal" programs like the Works Progress Administration (WP A), the
Civilian Conservation Corps (CC), or the National Youth Administration (NYA) in March of 1940?
What was his or her income for the year ending December 31, 1939, as the United States was
emerging from the Great Depression? Where did the family live in 1940? In 1935?
These are just a few ofthe questions that may be answered when the 1940 census is released in just
under seven months. Let's look at some the in formation you will find.
Who was enumerated? Everyone "whose usual place of residence on April 1, 1940 was in this
household" was named, along with the relationship to the head of the household. Persons absent
at the time of the census were noted with the abbreviation "Ab" following the name. We'll learn
the usual details about each individual-name, gender, age and place ofbirth, and marital status. For
the first time, the 1940 enumeration also asked for the highest grade of schol completed, as well
as whether that individual had attended a school or collage that year.
One neat thing about this census is that it noted who supplied the information to the census taker.
In column seven, the informant was indicated by an x with a circle around it. If the census taker
had to turn to a neighbor for information, the name of the neighbor was to be noted in the left
margin. This will be helpful when it comes to weighing conflicting pieces of information.
There are some disappointments. This enumeration didn't ask for immigration dates (as the
previous four censuses did), it did ask for citizenship of the foreign born. The usual "Na"
abbreviation indicated the person had been naturalized. ''Pa'' meant they had begun the
naturalization process by filling their "first papers" but had not completed the process. "AI" was the
annotation or aliens not naturalized and this census added "Am Cit" for American citizens who
were born at sea or abroad. Since, with the exception of the American citizen denotation, these
abbreviations were used in previous censuses going ack to 1900, locating your ancestor in earlier
enumerations may help you zero in on when and where your ancestor was naturalized.
There is more to be learned from the 1940 census and we will all look forward to it being released

�LAWRENCE GETS A POST OFFICE.
(This is from an account in the Centennial History and Roster of the Lawrence Lodge No.6, A.F
and A.M.
As this account is being written (January 13, 1955), the Lawrence Post Office is celebrating its 100th
Anniversary. For it was on January 13, 1855, that a federal post was established here. There had
been a temporary arrangement for the distribution of mail, with E.D. Ladd as the "pro tern"
postmaster. Of this arrangement the "Herald of Freedom" said on January 6, 1855: "Here in
Lawrence we have a post office kept by Mr Ladd, who was appointed by the citizens to discharge
that duty. The mail matter directed to individuals residing here is stopped at Kansas City or
Westport, Mo., from which point it is brought almost daily by private individuals who chance to
be traveling between the several points." Just one week later the regular post office was established.
On March 3 of that same year the Lawrence paper reported: "The Post Office for the present will
be at the house ofMr (William H.R.) Lykins on the levee." the successor of that paper, "The
Lawrence Daily Journal-World (Volume 97,no. 9), gives this information: Carmi W. Babcock, a
lawyer and real estate dealer, was named thefirst postmaster for Lawrence and his office was placed
in the store of Paul RBrooks on the west side of Massachusetts Street. Babcock also was the
second mayor of Lawrence, and later was a member of the Free State Legislature."
Members of the Craft will be interested to know that these men, Ladd, Lykins, Babcock and
Brooks, were all early members ofLawrence Lodge NO.6. The Seventieth Anniversary Roster and
History of this Lodge states: "The first meeting place (of the lodge) was in the little white frame
office of William H.R Lykins, that stood where his brick residence was afterwards built on (721)
Indiana Street," E.D. Ladd was the first treasurer of Lodge and William H.R, Lykins its first
Secretary. Lykins was succeeded in the latter ofice by Paul R Brooks, the first merchant to set up
business here. Brooks served later (1864-65-66-67-69) as Worshipful Master.

�The Baldwin Bee, 8 October 1896
At the residence of Mr. Levi Bodwell was held, Wednesday night, a most pleasant r~ception in
honor of Mr. and Mrs. Edd Bodwell who start for Portland Oregon today.
At this reception were gathered the oldest settlers in Palmyra township. Old and gray, many of
them, but upon this pleasant occasion, filled again with the fire and jubilance of youth. Little
companies gathered here and there and told with renewed interest the long forgotten tales of the
good old days when Kansas was in her infancy, tales of hardships, of sorrows, of adventure and of
jolly good times. Indeed their good old hearts seemed overflowing with the stirring old tales of
long ago, so interesting and so little known by the younger generation. Indeed there seems to be
a secret bond of happy unison and heart-felt relish in the fellowship of these old co-laborers in the
building of a state, a kind of harmony, of binding together of old relationships and friendly ties
moulded and strengthened through long years ofhardships and toil, which fills the young and giddy
generation with envy.
A multifarious collection of eatables was on hand, brought by each guest, pies, cakes, bread rolls,
enough for a princely repast.
In the list below of the old settlers present their ages are given in the first column arid the date of
their settlement here in the second.

�G. A. R. POST DISBANDS AFTER FORTY-FIVE YEARS
CHARTER WAS GRANTED LOCAL BODY IN 1883
Rev. C. W. Bailey Is Only Living Member of Parent Organization Which Has Made Much Local
History.
The Rev. C. W. Bailey is the only living charter member of the Baker post of the G. A. R. to
witness its dissolution. To him it must be a source of pride and thankfulness but there is a tone of.
sympathy and patriotism which covers the heartbeat ofa Civil War soldier, when he knows that his
comrades have fallen and he must stand alone.
With the death of Samuel Gardner the five living G. A. R. members of the local post saw fit to
disband because of the small membership and the incapacity of those to carry on with regular
routine business. These members include: W. J. Russell, N. F. Payne, S. Bruner, S. S. Shumaker
and C. W. Bailey.
ASK PERMISSION TO DISBAND
Papers have been sent to the state G. A. R. headquarters in Topeka informing officials of the
abandonment of the' post. The charter will be returned but the archives, the post flag and a copy
of the charter will be retained for posterity's use.
It was in January 1883 that a meeting was called to discuss the formation ofa G. A. R. post here.
Lawrence members came to assist in organization plans. Two months later on the 161h bfMarch
a charter was granted. The formation ofthe post occurred in the hall now occupied by the Masonic
lodge. The purpose of the organization like similar posts was to function primarily as a social and .
patriotic organization. But its capacity also included the functions of a Chamber of Commerce.
And in those capacities the G. A. R.' s have made history for Baldwin.
FIFTY IN CHARTER GROUP
There were about fifty charter members. This group soon had grown to 200 and was one of the
most active small posts in the state. Ed Gaddis was elected the first commander. There was some
discussion as to whether the post should be called the Baker or the Davis post. Colonel Davis, in
war time, was President Davis in peace times at Baker.
Patriotism stood out among all members. To the victors belong the spoils but the comrades of
the Grand Army of the Rebellion were desirous of dividing up, and rather than ask for money,
office, land options or pensions, the soldier&amp; retired to private life without seeking recompense. It
was this attitude of the soldiers which brought to them a well-earned honor and distinction as being
fair, honorable and sincere with the enemy in peace.
FIRST PENSIONS IN 1887
Deaths in the ranks broUght on families who needed help and the post did its utmost to retrieve
for the loss of comrades by personal attentions to those grieved and dependent ones. Not until
1887 did the government consider seriously the payment of pensions to wounded soldiers of (or?)
their dependents. Eight dollars a month was considered sufficient to care for a total incapacitated
soldier and his family. And not until 1890 did aid of any sort come from the government ..
The pride of the posts were the programs on Decoration Day and Memorial Sunday. Armed with
rifles and carrying flags, the soldiers would march in company formation to the hall. Graves at the
cemetery were always marked. Now a head stone furnished by the government marks the burial
places.
Saddened hearts receive the news of the post's retirement from active life. But the marks of

�citizenship and patriotism will never erase as the last ofthe war heroes pass on to a home not made
.
by hands eternal in the heavens.

1940 CENSUS DUE IN 2012
(This is part ofan article on Ancestry.com).
Was your ancestor among the 14.6% of Americans whe were unemployed in 1940? Did family
member work on"New Deal" programs like the Works Progress Administration (WPA), the
Civilian Conservation Corps (CC), or the National Youth Administration (NYA) in March ofl940?
What was his or her income for the year ending December 31, 1939, as the United States was
emerging from the Great Depression? Where did the family live in 1940? In 1935? .
These are just a few of the questions that may be answered when the 1940 census is released in just
under seven months. Let's look at some the in formation you will find.
Who was enumerated? Everyone "whose usual place of residence on April 1, 1940 was in this
household" was named, along with the relationship to the head of the household. Persons absent
at the time of the census were noted with the abbreviation "Ab" following the name. We'll learn
the usual details about each individual-name, gender, age and place of birth, and marital status. For
the first time, the 1940 enumeration also asked for the highest grade of schol completed, as well
as whether that individual had attended a school or collage that year.
One neat thing about this census is that it noted who supplied the information to the census taker.
In column seven, the informant was indicated by an x with a circle around it. If the census taker
had to tum to a neighbor for information; the name of the neighbor was to be noted in the left
margin. This will be helpful when it comes to weighing conflicting pieces of information.
There are some disappointments. This enumeration didn't ask for immigration dates (as the
previous four censuses did), it did ask for citizenship of the foreign born. The usual ''Na''
abbreviation indicated the person had been naturalized. "Pa" meant they had begun the
naturalization process by filling their "first papers" but had not completed the process. "AI" was the
annotation or aliens not naturalized and this census added "Am Cit" for American citizens who
were born at sea or abroad. Since, with the exception of the American citizen denotation, these
abbreviations were used in previous censuses going ack to 1900, locating your ancestor in earlier
enumerations may help you zero in on when and where your ancestor was naturalized.
There is more to be learned from the 1940 census and we will all look forward to it being released

�LAWRENCE GETS A POST OFFICE.
(This is from an account in the Centennial History and Roster of the Lawrence Lodge No.6, A.F
and A.M.
As this account is being written (January 13, 1955), the Lawrence Post Office is celebrating its 100th

Anniversary. For it was on January 13, 1855, that a federal post was established here. There had
been a temporary arrangement for the distribution of mail, with E.D. Laqd as the "pro tern"
postmaster. Of this arrangement the ''Herald of Freedom" said on January 6, 1855: "Here in
Lawrence we have a post office kept by Mr Ladd, who was appointed by the citizens to discharge
that duty. The mail matter directed to individuals residing here is stopped at Kansas City or
Westport, Mo., from which point it is brought almost daily by private individuals who chance to
be traveling between the several points." Just one week later the regular post office was established ..
On March 3 of that same year the Lawrence paper reported: "The Post Office for the present will
be at the house of Mr (William H.R.) Lykins on the levee." the successor of that paper, "The
Lawrence Daily Journal-World (Volume 97,no. 9), gives this information: Carmi W. Babcock, a
lawyer and real estate dealer, was named thefirst postmaster for Lawrence and his office was placed
in the store of Paul R.Brooks on the west side of Massachusetts Street. Babcock also was the
second mayor of Lawrence, and later was a member of the Free State Legislature."
Members of the Craft will be interested to know that these men, Ladd, Lykins, Babcock and
Brooks, were all early members ofLawrence Lodge NO.6. The Seventieth Anniversary Roster and
History of this Lodge states: "The first meeting place (of the lodge) was in the little white frame
office of William HR. Lykins, that stood where his brick residence was afterwards built on (721)
Indiana Street," E.D. Ladd was the first treasurer of Lodge and William HR, Lykins its first
Secretary. Lykins was succeeded in the latter ofice by Paul R. Brooks, the first merchant to set up
business here. Brooks served later (1864-65-66-67-69) as Worshipful Master.

SAMUEL FITCH
The Baldwin Ledger, 9 March 1900
"HE WENT ABOUT DOING GOOD"
Samuel Fitch was born in Delaware county, New York, June 16, 1826, and died in Baldwin,
Kansas, March 5, 1900. Almost seventy-four years, and in the estimation of many they were years
idly spent and without good results.' But he lived for others and in so living forgot himself - yes
more he neglected himself and yet in that neglect he was able to do menial service for mankind
without being accused of having any selfish motives.
We know little of Samuel Fitch's early life. It is said that from childhood he was considered
peculiar and that peculiarity grew to eccentricity. He became a school teacher and developed
splendid gifts in the direction of history, geography and certain lines of classical literature. he had
a prodigious memory which ifit had been in the possession of other men would have brought them
great renown as scholars. His taste for geography led him to travel and no part ofEurope or South
America was unknown to him. Few pretentious scholars have ever returned from those historic
countries with as deep an historical instinct as he possessed.
Sometimes in the 50's he settled in lllinois where he taught school again. We draw the curtain
here over the romance of his life. Without any fault of his he went out to pass the rest of his days
in the world alone it was now 1860 and he sought to hide his past in the excitement of those days
in Kansas. He settled in Abilene, afterward went to Garnett and eventually came to Baldwin which
place he called his residence until his death, Had he so desired he might have been a wealthy man
for at one time he owned many acres ofland in lllinois, Iowa and Kansas. His wants were few and
his business acumen keen. He could easily have been a miser as well as a hermit. He was a hermit,
but he was also a philanthropist.
Before he came to Kansas several of his immediate family had died of consumption and he decided
that when he came out west he would lead a more out of door life and from that time Nature was

�his daily companion. As a further protection he allowed his hair and beard to grow unkept but even
this could not hide his clear cut features and the kindly look of his countenance. As he grew older
he became more careless in his personal appearance and grew very sensitive about it when the
people of the town offered to clothe him better. He would accept gifts :from no one and yet his
whole life was spent in giving good gifts to others.
Not long since he told the writer of this article that he had not missed a single opening address of
Baker University since 1868 and very few commencement exercises found him absent. If he had
a hobby it was education and his inclination in this direction did not stop with simply attending the
opening exercises of Baker University. At one time when this college was seeing its darkest days
without any ostentation and without pulling any string for official recognition he quietly gave to the
college a deed for 160 acres ofland. Did some children in the town lack the means securing their
school books; Mr. Fitch would be seen at their doors with the necessary books. Was cold weather
approaching and some children ill prepared to go to school in the stormy weather, he could be seen
walking up the streets ofBaldwin with a number ofdifferent sizes of children's shoes across his arm
and he himself so poorly clad that passers by would stop and wonder as he passed.
While in Abilene he found a little girl whose parents were too poor to send her to school and yet
she was ambitious to go. He quietly furnished her with the means and kept her in college until she
was able to earn a good livelyhood teaching.
Twenty years passed away and that same girl was in Baldwin. Mr. Fitch was pointed out to her
as he was pulling weeds along the street. That he was in the garb of a vagrant and was pulling
weeds for people who hadn't pride enough in their own surroundings to do it themselves, was not
attracting any special attention. But this young lady was surprised beyond measure; nevertheless
she rushed over to him, introduced herself and told her benefactor how much she appreciated what
he had done for her
.
A short time before his death, Mr. Fitch inquired of one who knew this young lady ifhe ever heard
from her any more and then with a far-off look he "wondered if she still remembered what he had
done for her." Poor man, he had given his whole life in ministerings to others without questioning
and without hoping for thanks but when the end drew near out of the lonesomeness of his soul
came this feeble yearning for human sympathy and love.
In the early days of Kansas, when everything was a struggle, the Bible Society of the state was
without funds to carry on their work. The frontiersmen had all they could do to supply the
necessities of life and it seemed that the Society was going to be compelled to give up its work.
Here again Mr. Fitch quietly came to the rescue and deeded 40 acres ofland to the Society and it
was thus enabled to continue. But after Mr. Fitch had given away all his property he did not stop
his works of charity but working here and there, he would earn some money all of which went to
help somebody else. After he was dead only two pennies were found upon his person. But those
two pennies speak more eloquently of the deeds of the departed than the full coffers of the rich
man. The miser's coffers are full but his soul is empty. This man's soul is full although his pockets
.
held but two copper pennies.
The funeral services were held in the M. E. Church, the sermon being delivered by Rev. John
Moorhead. The city authorities purchased a lot in Oakwood cemetery and the remains were laid

�to rest in a manner weIl worthy of one of our best citizens.
Years ago men dressed in homely garb, denied themselves of many things that we caH necessities
of life and punished themselves in a bodily way in every conceivable manner. But they separated
themselves from the world and thought they were holy because they kept from the world. This man
also dressed in homely garb. He denied himself many necessities. he aHowed himself no self
indulgence. But he was no coward. He faced the world. It had given him disappointment, it had
given him deep sorrow but he went among men doing food. Who shaH limit his influence? Who
shall say his learning was aH for naught. Who shaH say he was not a hero when he always was the
servant of others and his lips were never open to complaint? Who shaH say what his life in the next .
world shall be for "they serve God weIl who serve his creatures."
ERECT A MONUMENT
The least thing that Baldwin people can do in return for the many things that Samuel Fitch has
done for this town wold be to erect a modest granite marker over his grave. Almost one half of
this life was spent here. He has done favors unasked for, aH of us if it was no more tan to clean
the street crossings that we might go over with ease. We surely will not let the coming generation
find an un-marked grave which would eventually become an unknown grave.

As an amusing incident of the way Rev. Murray, S. T. Counts, Israel Pri~ and W. A. Harbeston
did their last service at about the same place and same time - Davis Bluff, Arkansas. They did not
know it until lately, while talking together they were surprised to learn that they were mustered out
at the same place. The Baldwin Ledger, 11 Jan. 1929

�G. A. R. POST DISBANDS AFTER FORTY-FIVE YEARS
CHARTER 'WAS GRANTED LOCAL BODY IN 1883
Rev. C. W. Bailey Is Only Living Member of Parent Organization Which Has Made Much Local
History.
The Rev. C. W. Bailey is the only living charter member of the Baker post of the G. A. R. to
witness its dissolution. To him it must be a source of pride and thankfulness but there is a tone of
sympathy and patriotism which covers the heartbeat ofa Civil War soldier, when he knows that his
comrades have fallen and he must stand alone.
With the death of Samuel Gardner the five living G. A. R. members of the local post· saw fit to
disband because of the small membership and the incapacity of those to carry on with regular
routine business. These members include: W. J. Russell, N. F. Payne, S. Bruner, S. S. Shumaker
and C. W. Bailey.
ASK PERMISSION TO DISBAND
.
Papers have been sent to the state G. A. R. headquarters in Topeka informing officials of the
abandonment of the post. The charter will be returned but the archives, the post flag and a copy
of the charter will be retained for posterity's use.
It was in January 1883 that a meeting was called to discuss the formation of a G. A. R. post here.
Lawrence members came to assist in organization plans. Two months later on the 16th bf March
a charter was granted. The formation ofthe post occurred in the hall now occupied by the,Masonic
lodge. The purpose of the organization like similar posts was to function primarily as a social and
patriotic organization. But its capacity also included the functions of a Chamber of Commerce.
And in those capacities the G. A. R.' s have made history for Baldwin.
FIFTY IN CHARTER GROUP
There were about fifty charter members. This group soon had grown to 200 and was one of the
most active small posts in the state. Ed Gaddis was elected the first commander. There was some
discussion as to whether the post should be called the Baker or the Davis post. Colonel Davis, in
war time, was President Davis in peace times at Baker.
Patriotism stood out among all members. To the victors belong the spoils but the com.t::ades of
the Grand Army of the Rebellion were desirous of dividing up, and rather than ask for money,
office, land options or pensions, the soldiers retired to private life without seeking recompense. It
was this attitude of the soldiers which brought to them a well-earned honor and distinction as being
fair, honorable and sincere with the enemy in peace.
FIRST PENSIONS IN 1887
Deaths in the ranks brought on families who needed help and the post did its utmost to r~trieve
for the loss of comrades by personal attentions to those grieved and dependent ones. Not until
1887 did the government consider seriously the payment of pensions to wounded soldiers of (or?)
their dependents. Eight dollars a month was considered sufficient to care for a total incapacitated
soldier and his family. And not until 1890 did aid of any sort come from the government.
The pride of the posts were the programs on Decoration Day and Memorial Sunday. Armed with
rifles and carrying flags, the soldiers would march in company formation to the hall. Graves ,at the
cemetery were always marked. Now a head stone furnished by the government marks the burial
places.
. '
Saddened hearts receive the news of the post's retirement from active life. But the marks of

�citizenship and patriotism will never erase as the last of the war heroes pass on to a home not made
by hands eternal in the heavens.

1940 CENSUS DUE IN 2012
(This is part of an article on Ancestry.com).
Was your ancestor among the 14.6% of Americans whe were unemployed in 1940? Did family
member work on"New Deal" programs like the Works Progress Administration (Wp A), the
Civilian Conservation Corps (CC), or the National Youth Administration (NYA) in March of 1940?
What was his or her income for the year ending December 31, 1939, as the United States was
emerging from the Great Depression? Where did the family live in 1940? In 1935?
These are just a few of the questions that may be answered when the 1940 census is released in just
under seven months. Let's look at some the in formation you will find .
. Who was enumerated? Everyone ''whose usual place of residence on'April 1, 1940 was in this
household" was named, along with the relationship to the head of the household. Persons absent
at the time of the census were noted with the abbreviation "Ab" following the name. We'll learn
the usual details about each individual-name, gender, age and place of birth, and marital status. For
the first time, the 1940 enumeration also asked for the highest grade of schol completed, as well
as whether that individual had attended a school or collage that year.
One neat thing about this census is that it noted who supplied the information to the census taker.
In column seven, the informant was indicated by an x with a circle around it. If the census taker
had to tum to a neighbor for information, the name of the neighbor was to be noted in the left
margin. This will be helpful when it comes to weighing conflicting pieces of information.
There are some disappointments. This enumeration didn't ask for immigration dates (as the
previous four censuses did), it did ask for citizenship of the foreign born. The usual ''Na''
abbreviation indicated the person had been naturalized. "Pa" meant they had begun the
naturalization process by filling their '~first papers" but had not completed the process. "AI" was the
annotation or aliens not naturalized and·this census added "Am Cit" for American citizens who
were born at sea or abroad. Since, with the exception of the American citizen denotation, these
abbreviations were used in previous censuses going ack to 1900, locating your ancestor in earlier
enumerations may help you zero in on when and where your ancestor was naturalized.
There is more to be learned from the 1940 census and we will all look forward to it being released

�LAWRENCE GETS A POST OFFICE.
(This is from an account in the Centennial History and Roster of the Lawrence Lodge No.6, A.F
and A.M.
As this account is being written (January 13, 1955), the Lawrence Post Office is celebrating its 100th
Anniversary. For it was on January 13, 1855, that a federal post was established here. There had
been a temporary arrangement for the distribution of mail, with E.D. Ladd as the "pro tern"
postmaster. Of this arrangement the ''Herald of Freedom" said on January 6, 1855: "Here in
Lawrence we have a post office kept by Mr Ladd, who was appointed by the citizens to discharge
that duty. The mail matter directed to individuals residing here is stopped at Kansas City or
Westport, Mo., from which point it is brought almost daily by private individuals who chance to
be traveling between the several points." Just one week later the regular post office was established.
On March 3 of that same year the Lawrence paper reported: "The Post Office for the present will
be at the house ofMr (William H.R) Lykins on the levee." the successor of that paper, "The
Lawrence Daily Journal-World (Volume 97,no. 9), gives this information: Carmi W. Babcock, a
lawyer and real estate dealer, was named thefirst postmaster for Lawrence and his office was placed
in the store of Paul RBrooks on the west side of Massachusetts Street. Babcock also was the
second mayor of Lawrence, and later was a member of the Free State Legislature."
Members of the Craft will be interested to know that these men, Ladd, Lykins, Babcock and
Brooks, were all early members ofLawrence Lodge NO.6. The Seventieth Anniversary Roster and
History of this Lodge states: "The first meeting place (of the lodge) was in the little white frame
office ofWilliam H.R Lykins, that stood where his brick residence was afterwards built on (721)
Indiana Street," E.D. Ladd was the first treasurer of Lodge and William H.R, Lykins its first
Secretary. Lykins was succeeded in the latter ofice by Paul R Brooks, the first merchant to set up
business here. Brooks served later (1864-65-66-67-69) as Worshipful Master.

From the editor:
Thanks to everyone who sent me articles, especially Richard Wellman. I have received some but
my machine seems to not like everything that I try to make it do. I would be very pleased maybe
even overjoyed if someone else with better technology would take over the Pioneer. Ifthere is any
interest out there please let me know. Thanks, Mary Burchill

SIX MONTHS OLDER
The Baldwin Republican, 24 Oct 1902.
In lastweeks Mail and Breeze an article appeared claiming that Wm.
Britton, of Alton, was the oldest living resident of Kansas which
certainly is a mistake as Palmyra township has a resident, in the person
ofR.H. Pearson, of Black Jack, who located his claim, now the Beeks
Fannjust north of Baldwin, May 15 th, 1854, while Mr. Brittain (note
change of spelling) according to the Mail and Breeze did not locate
until the fall of that year.
R.H. Pearson was born in Yorkshire, England, April 1st, 1828 and with
his parents, in 1902 emigrated to America, locating at Alleghaney
City, Pa., living there until the California gold fever swept over the
United States when he went to California, where he was in 1853 and
early '54, when the bill was in Congress for the opening of KansaS and
Nebraska.
The talk among the California miners at that time was that Nebraska
would be a free state and Kansas a slave state, and the emigration fever
again entered Mr. Pearson's blood, and he left the gold fields for the
new county of Nebraska and Kansas, going by the way of Panama and
New York, and after a short visit with his parents in Pennsylvania,
3

�came on west by steam boat to Kansas City, then a small town and
only boasting one small hotel. There he met Joel K. Goodwin,(who was
afterwards killed by Jim Lane) Gayes Jinkins and Henry Barricklow,
Jr., who invited him to join their party and go with them to look for
townsites in the new country, but they desired locating in Kansas in
preference to Nebraska, claiming tht Kansas never would be a slave
state. The party first went to St. Joe, from there to Weston, opposite Ft.
Leavenworth and then to the Fort to obtain news in regard to the
opening of the new country. They were told if they located back thirty
miles fromthe State Line the Government troops would not molest
them. Leaving the Fort they returned to Kansas City where PearsQn
and Barricklow purchased, each a pony, the rest of the party leasing a
team and wagon, and early in May traveled west, leaving civilization
behind, but passing many Indians with herds of ponies, crossing the
Kaw River at where Lawrence now stand, then west to Big Springs,
there the party turned back, returning as far as Mt Oread, which the
party decided was the best townsite location they had see~, they then
turned south, keeping along the Government road until they came to
what is now called Willow Springs, then east to Hickory point, there
they saw a wagon about 200 yards from the road. Pearson and
Barricklow decided on a visit to it and found a woman and three
children, with about half a dozen Kaw Indians standing around which
was causing the woman much uneasiness. She called Pearson to one
side and asked him and his party to remain awhile until her husband
who was away to purchase a cow should return. The party remained
awhile, Barricklow stopped three days and Pearson is still remaining.
The lady told them "there were many good claims and that her husband,
a Mr Kibby would help them make a selection, and by the way this
Kibby was the man who killed a pro-slavery man by the name of Davis
at Lawrence, during and election, which is supposed to have been the
first death in the cause which brought on the Civil War. A pro-slavery
man was burning anti-slavery men's cabins and Kibby insisted that he
4

�stop. Davis took the matter up, and began stricking[sic] at Kibby with
a knife. Kibby had a pistol loaded with eight shot, and capped with a
cap furnished by Pearson and as Davis again advanced, shot him, the
whole load of buckshot entering the man's stomach, killing him almost
instantly.
Mr. Pearson pre-empted his farm, and the next spring Barricklow
returned, accompanied by Nehemia Green, (who was Lieut. Governor)
L.F. Green and Dan Johnson and wife who also settled near here.
Mr. Pearson was all through the boarder[sic] warfare, being at the
battle of Black Jack, Blanton's Bridge, Prices Raid at Kansas City, at
Lawrence in 1855, at Bull Creek and East Tauy, besides helping to
persuade many a pro-slavery men that Kansas did not desire to be a
slave state, and received an honorable discharge from the U.S. .,
government. He is now getting along in years, but is yet very active
and energetic, and owns a farm of 240 acres on which the battle of
Black Jack was fought.
We believe this gives Mr. Pearson the claim to being the oldest living
settler of Kansas, having pre-empted what is now the Beeks farm in
Palmyra township, Douglas County, Kansas May 15 th, 1854, and is
still a resident of the same township.

BLACKJACK
The Baldwin Ledger 9 March 1900
Black Jack, Kansas, March 6, 1900
Editor Ledger
On last Saturday morning, as I arrived in your city, I was informed that
5

�I had a brother at the hotel Stuart House, in which I had not seen for
nearly forty-four years. A brother who in the year of 1855 came to
Kansas over to Lawrence in company with Gov. Robinson, wife and
others. Coming here in the pioneer days, though a young man, he with
others had a varied experience in this state as a free state frontiersman
The then city of Lawrence was only founded, the then (prospective
Palmyra). It was in the days of buffalo ranges, gamblers a few, but
thugs and in all a lively time. He had altercations and thrilling times
under varied circumstances. He being young, he was in his Pa's home,
restless and ambitious.
Seeing no opening for a boy in the crowded East he followed the
advice of Horace Greely, and Kansas then was the object point, and he
located upon the quarter section now owned and occupied by D.G.
Kennedy upon Black Jack Creek, Prairie City. T.J. Mowberry was the
main trader and old Prairie City offered in the pages of the Prairie Cin:
Champion edited by S.S. trouty, many inducements, and your pen
dotter who was a sojourner of that city looked often toward the
,
Barricklow hill to see the white top schooners that add to the
wonderful growth of Prairie city. That brother had been absent since
the spring of 1858. Living in Davenport he enlisted in 1861 and was at
Shiloh, Fort Donelson, and carried three leaded bullets yet, and one
deadly shot through the groin but he lived and after many long years of
absence he came back, not a youth, not a tenderfoot, but a man of age,
came to see a brother so long lost to pour out his tender passions of
kindred affection and to look over the grounds where he and Koon's,
one Anda Keepin, Gil Gillmore came to assassinate Esq. Rice, June
27 th 1857,where he and I, were amid great personal danger. With the
nerve of a man and the quickness of action, Koons was laid upon the
ground and the others began to plead and one day Proslavery mob was
quelted(?) And later on Koons who had killed his third free state man
6

�and planted them upon the bank of the west side of the battle ground,
bit the dust upon the night of 26th day of December 1857 and soon
after Anda Keepin watched an opportunity to attack the Stonebaker
boys and he got a left hander from Brother Austin that settled his
audacity to seeking hide go seek thereafter.
The early days of Black Jack carry with them much unwritten and
many an idle threat.
[an interesting way of writing.]

R.H. PEARSON, 1901
A case of Advancement.
The Baldwin Ledger, 11 January 1901
When I first settled in the territory of Kansas May 15, 1854, I went to
Kansas City fifty miles to get my mail. When Lawrence started mail
was changed there in the fall of 1854. Lawrence is twenty miles away.
In 1856 Palmyra started up and we had Newman Blood Postmaster.
Next Baldwin comes into existence, Mr. Scott is our Postmaster. Next
comes Rural Delivery No 1, Wellsville and I do not have to go so ,many
yards as I did miles in 1854. R.H. Pearson.
Also from The Baldwin Ledger 11 January 1901
W.C. Vantries, Robert Pearson, J.P. Bell, S.E. Carlton, A.T. Shepard,
Sam Stonebacker and Frank Bell have been in from the eastern part of
the township this week and they all say that the people in their
neighborhood are in favor of helping the Orient railroad.
[NOTE: This was in support of extending the Kansas City, Mexico &amp;
Orient RR from Kansas City to Baldwin City. Obviously the extension
never was completed.)

�MORTALITY SCHEDULES
What is it? A list made at the time a census was taken of those who
died during the preceding year.
st
Covers only persons who died in the 12 months preceding June 1 of
the census year. Example: 1850 Mortality Schedule lists persons
who died between June 1 1848 and May 31 1850
Information includes: Name, Sex, Age, Color, Birthplace, Occupation,
Marital Status, Month of Death, and cause. Some later ones even
give the parents names.
When were they recorded? 1850, 1860, 1870, 1880, 1890, 1900,
Mortality Schedules were taken by Counties, but are indexed by the
state ~ a whole. Since 1902 The Bureau of Census has obtained '
Mortality date directly from records maintained by cities and states.

DOUGLAS COUNTY TOMBSTONE CENSUS BOOKS.
In the middle of page 266 of volume 2 of the Douglas Co Tombstone
Census there is a note about 3 tombstones that they think may be for
the surname '~Moore". The stones were for Dicey, Ethel and Earl. ;'
While working on the Bell family records with Al VanTries, I related
the story of no surnames for the 3 tombstones at Old Pioneer Cemetery
in south Baldwin. He recalled that he had a relative named "Dicey".
With that unusual name, he was able to find that he was related to the
3 persons. Here is the story.
Dicey Prather, b. 9 April 1859, dau. of Thomas Helms and Nancy
Elizabeth (Alverson) Prather, d. 27 February 1892, married 23 October
8

�1879 to John Wilkerson. They had 4 children including one Earl
Wilkerson, b. 1882 d. 1885. Dicey's sister Esther Lulie Prather"
married Duncan Wilkerson, the brother of John Wilkerson. So 2
sisters married 2 brothers. Esther and Duncan had 4 children,
including Ethel Wilkerson, b. 1883, d. 1885.
So the surname mystery has been resolved. They are all Wilkerson.

D.G. KENNEDY STORE
The Baldwin Ledger~ 5 February 1904.
The store ofD.G. Kennedy, at Vinland, was burned last Friday
morning. The entire stock of groceries and merchandise and all his
household goods were destroyed. All valuable papers were saved
belonging to the post office department. The fire originated from a
defective flue. The loss was about $8000, fully insured. Mr. Kermedy
will rebuild as soon as possible.

�I plan to add much more data in the coming months. Also, be sure to
check out my "Online Counties" page to see if I have a website for
your other Kansas counties of interest.
I hope you will have a look at my new website, and if you have any
corrections, suggestions, questions or want to contribute pictures or
data~ I will be happy to hear from you. I am moving on to my next
county in the project, but I will come back to Douglas County from
time to time to add data, so please bookmark this site. I will announce
any major additions of data on this list..
This website features a search engine, but I strongly urge you to
browse the data, as some of the spelling of surnames is questionable.
Douglas is the 45th county in this project-only 60 counties to go! I
hope to have all Kansas counties online within the next two.years, but
until I can gather enough data for a specific county, I will store the file
for that county on the state website.

�T.B. SHORE LIVING IN BALDWIN
The Baldwin Ledger, 7 July 1905
Celebrated the 4th here in 1857.
Fourth of July Celebration here nearly a half century ago.
The first time the Fourth of July was celebrated in this neighborhood
was in 1857,just forty-eight years ago, one year before Baldwin,
townsite was laid out-Kansas then being a territory.
The day was celebrated by giving a a public dinner and speaking~ and
was held on the hill in West Baldwin, which was then called Prairie
City.
The late Sam Wood, who was killed some years age;&gt; in a county seat
war in the southern part of this state spoke on that occasion. There are
two people living in Baldwin today who took part in that celebration,
being T.B. Shore and S.L Clark.

ABOUT THE SANTA FE TRAIL
The Baldwin Ledger, Friday, 3 February 1905
Recent agitation to mark the line of the pathway-Baldwin on the list
Monuments are springing up in various parts of Kansas for providing
permanent markers for the old Santa Fe Trail, which preceded the
Santa Fe railroad as the connecting link between the east and west.
Franklin county cannot get in on the original Santa Fe trail deal, b~t
she has as fine a line of side trails, rich in history, as any county in the
state. The original Santa Fe trail and main line on which the gold'
13

�l

traffic to California traveled, crossed the Missouri at Westport and
came west through Black Jack, through the present location of
Baldwin and just missed the northwest corner of Franklin county,
passing west through Burlingame. Another trail went to the north .
through or near Lawrence, and the two trails joined near Burlingame.

It was the traffic that came up from the south, from western Missouri
and Fort Scott and even from the south, that passed through Franklin
county on the way to join the great pathway to the west. This road
crossed the Marais des Cygnes river at what is still known as "Fort
Scott crossing", which is some three miles down the river from
Ottawa. The seventh street road runs by it, and a branch crossed it. On
the east and south the trail crossed the Pottawatomie near Lane at what
was known as "Dutch Henry's crossing". It was here that one of John
Brown's massacres too~ place.
Though it is proposed to mark the Santa Fe trail proper with
monuments it will never be possible to define any definite track or set
of tracks as the exclusive trail. When the emigrants struck the prairies
west of the Missouri they spread out over the considerable territory, the
various trails or paths coming together at the principal watering places.
So it came about that many California pilgrims came down past the
Tauy Jones place, now Woodlief though the main trail did not run that
way. These were first parties to introduce blue grass to this county.
Seed dropped on the prairie in time sodded an entire section of ground,
while all around was the prairie, and the unsettled wilderness. Tauy
Jones and Robert Atkinson got the idea of cultivating blue grass here
from this volunteer crop that sprang up on the branch of the Santa.Fe
trail. The old Santa Fe well in north Baldwin will always mark this
trail here.

�This is one chapter from More About Wonderful Old Lawrence by
Elfriede Fischer Rowe, a longtime resident of Lawrence. This is
copyright 1981 by Mrs. Rowe.

NEW CITY HALL A LINK TO CITY'S ROOTS
"At last we are in our new home!"
How many times that has been said by people? And the City of
Lawrence can well say it now, with its new city hall. The city has been
renting for the past 10 years. True, there have been several "homes",
but this is the first city-built structure erected exclusively for the,
purpose of conducting municipal business.
In the earliest years, city business was carried on in one room in the
back of a privately owned fire department. This was near the loc~tion
of the Community Building at 11th and Vermont. Soon after, o~cials
moved from there and rented one room in the rear of a red brick
building at the northwest corner of Eighth and Vermont at the rate of
$8 per month.
Records show that in 1885, the City of Lawrence purchased three, lots
at the northwest comer of Eighth and Vermont at a total cost of
$2!&gt;650. They apparently leased three lots to a group of men to build a
city market.
However the builders took on more financial obligations than they
could handle, so they sold the building to the city for $28,000 in 1896.
The city then proceeded to make room for the many offices needed to
conduct government business.
The fire department, not owned by the city at that time, also moved in.
15

�There was enough room in the red brick building to house the offices
of the mayor, city council, city clerk, county clerk, county treasurer,
sheriff, district court, register of deeds, city marshal, city engineer and
police headquarters. Next to the police judge's room were cells for
drunks.
Besides all the activities that went with these various offices, the
election board for Ward I functioned there. As the years went on; the
outside of this beautiful old brick building did not reflect the old
greasy wooden floors, the ancient wooden stairs and the inadequate
plumbing and lighting. It was not conducive for efficient operation of
a rapidly growing city.
In 1905, the county offices moved out when the present county
courthouse was completed. In 1929, the city offices were moved to
what is now the Elizabeth Watkins Community Museum building due
to the generosity of Mrs. J.B. Watkins who bequeathed it to the city,
The building was originally built for the banking and mortgage
business.
Here was a magnificent structure both inside and out but the costly,
elegant fixtures and marble floors added nothing to contribute to
efficiently handle city business. Space was cramped. Partitions were
installed, but it became apparent the city had outgrown the Watkins
building and did not have the funds to bring it up to par.
So in October of 1970, the city moved again, this time to rented
quarters in the First National Bank Tower. Now, 10 years later, we
find the city finally with its own "home." Settlement in the location
seems fitting and proper-where out town began- on the banks of the
Kaw River-more or less in the center of Lawrence's early beginnings.

16

�The marker for the first house is a half block south. To the east, at the
foot of New Hampshire Street was the ferry landing used before we
had a bridge:&gt; and to the west now are the two bridges linking north:&gt;
east and west Lawrence. The new city hall is an anchor at the north
end of Lawrence, with the county courthouse and the Watkins building
at the south end of the downtown business district.
The new brick-face building at Sixth and Massachusetts quietly fits
into its surroundings. But, you have to go inside to get the "feel" of the
whole concept. Those who objected to the location should give it a
second thought and take a tour of the building before criticizing
further. One would have to be unreasonably biased not to .
acknowledge the inspiring views in all directions from the many'
windows.
Taking a quick tour of this five-story building, one finds there are four
stories showing from the south and five stories on the north counting
the basement. Walking in on the south, you are on the ground floor.
Immediately on your left is the commission meeting room with
spectator seating for over 80, and for around 40 more if they overflow
into the hall. Chairs for the overflow are provided when needed, and
sound is piped from the main room. The commission room has a
large, black-lighted screen on one wall. The colors used and placement
of chairs give an air of friendliness, and you feel relaxed. This first
floor houses the mayor's office, which is shared by the commisioners.
You pay your water bill on the second floor, and while doing so you
can look out the windows for a magnificent view of the river and
beyond. The city clerk's and finance director's offices are there too.
Ethan Smith, finance director, has a view from his office windows that
all artists and photographers wO}lld like to catch on canvas or paper.
As you look down, you see the Kaw River and dam and two bridges.
17

�Beyond to the right are the grain elevators formerly Derby Grain,
owned by Paul Smart. They belong in this picture, for they are symbols
of Kansas and a reminder of the importance of Kansas in helping feed
the world. And framing this picture are the hills way beyond to the
north.
The third floor houses personnel and human resources.
Our city manager, Buford Watson, has his offices on the fourth floor.
They are appropriately on 'the south side so he can lookout over the
city, downtown Lawrence, KU's Fraser Hall and the Campanile.
Because of the time of year, to the west the trees hide the houses one
probably can identify in the winter when the leaves are gone. At the
other end of the fourth floor is Parks and Recreation. The offices have
the east view of the river. They need little artificial light due to the
, light walls and large picture windows.
The basement houses engineering, building inspection, Community
Development and the atrium, which has been spoken of as a
"greenhouse," possibly because of its greenhouse-shaped windows. '
But it is much more functional than a greenhouse.
\

It is a place where employees and the public can go in, relax: and rest
and eat a lunch. At the east end, just outside, are vending machines
and a small microwave oven for those who wish to have a soft drink or
snack. With the south exposure in the atrium plants should flourish .
The cost of the city hall project is around $3 million. That's quite a
contrast to the purchase by the city for the city hall at Eighth and .'
Vermont for $28,000. About $1 million has been paid directly from
federal revenue-sharing and $2 million is bonded to be paid off by
1988. How lucky it seems for the people who work at the Lawrence
city hall, that they can look out every day to such beauty.
18

�Provisions for the handicapped to be able to use and enjoy this
building have been well-planned, When you drive into the parking
area;&gt; which is directly east and at the end of New Hampshire, you will
find two levels for parking. There are special parking stalls for the
handicapped as well as stalls for bicycles. The east doors are
especially weighted, and it takes only a light touch for them to open.
Then you are on the first floor.
The old Bowersock grain elevators have been cut down and the bases
left to serve as a retaining wall for planting of greenery. Not only does
the location of the new city hall bring the City of Lawrence closer

nature trail that starts at Burcham Park at the foot of Indiana Street and
continues east to join Tommy Constant Park and goes on east winding
up at Robinson Park and City Hall. This trail is for the enjoyment of

Go ahead and insert your own favorite alternative synonym for the excrement of a male bovine.
This is paranoia, folks. Ain't nobody gonna be using the 1940 census systematically to defraud
Americans.
First and foremost, we are all at far greater risk of identity theft each and every time we hand a
credit card over to somebody who takes it out of our line of sight to process a charge or' hand
our

SOCJ~/

Seclli7!y number over to a fife clerk to enter in our records than we are from access to

0tW

cJrreat information -

as iust ha{JPet7ed fflCeatll -

than anybody is from tile paltry facts

included in the census.
Griping about the risk of identity theft from 1940 census data is a little bit like complaining
that your tea is cold in the dining room of the Titanic just after

it strock the iceberg. '

,

Let s start with the simple fact that the vast majority of those enumerated on the 1940 census are
dead. Of .the roughly 132 millions Americans enumerated in 1940, some 85 percent or more have
passed on. Whatever privacy interest the dead may have had in their census data, it passed on
and common sense with them. The law A
'
.
h
uoesn t survIVe t. e person._5
Bu~.

tells us that the right of privacy is personal and

the naysayers how~. what about those still living? For them,. they whine,. the census

information is "an invitation to defraud the elder~, as many financial institutions use things like
mother's maiden name, father's middle name, and/or date of birth as passwords."6

,
lIIIaiden names? You re kidding me, right? My parents are both listed in the 1940 census with
both of their mothers. Neither of the mothers' maiden names is shown, only their married names.~

21

�,

.

t've looked at a LOT of 1940 census pages already; beyond my own family pages, I m also doing
indexIng. You know how many maiden names

t' ve

seen? None. Nor one. Nada. Zilch.

To find tile maiden name of tile mother of a man living today, yOll need to know who his .
J

grandparents were. Finding him in the census won't do it. And to find the maiden name of the
mother of a woman living today, you have to know her maiden name just to find her on the
census, and then go back beyond her parents to find her grandparents. And in both cases, even if
you had all that info to start looking in the census, you still wouldn't get the right maiden name if
there was a divorce or death and then a remarriage. Just how many identity thieves are going to
put in that much effort, hmmmm?
Middle names? You're still kidding, aren't you? My father's middle name isn't in his census
record. Neither of my grandfathers' middle names are shown. Guess how many middle names the

enumerator in my Chicago grandparents' enumeration district wrote down? Yep, you got it. Exactly
none. In many cases, the enumerator didn't even write down the first name, but used initials only.
And birthdates? Excuse me? What birthdates? You know how many birfhdates appear in the entire
1940 census, start to finjsn, all 132 mjlljon entries? None. lJJere's an age gjven, but no date of
birth at all.
8

My German grandmother told the enumerator she was age 49 and my father was 18._ So tell me,
doom and gloom folks~ what year was each of them born? Was she born in 1891 (and had
,

•

i

already had her birthday in 1940) or 1890 (and wouldn t tum 50 until after the census)? Was

,

he born in 1921 or 1922? If you can t tell me the year of birth, pray tell, what good is the
census in determining the date of birth?
The naysayers then warn that senior citizens could be conned into giving up information because
identity thieves can find out what street they grew up on. No, from the census, assuming you can
find ttre person at all (mmember 85% of ttrose enumerated am dead now), you can find out only.
what street the person lived on in 1940,~ and only if the person lived in an area urban enough to
use street addresses and even then only if the enumerator wrote that information down.
And then you have to make the leap to the conclusion that American senior citizens are so

,

.

damned dumb they II hand over mfo to anybody who calls or emails talking about that street.
Gimme a break!!!

SIX MONTHS OLDER
The Baldwin Republican, 24 Oct 1902.
In last weeks Mail and Breeze an article appeared claiming that Wm.
Britton, of Alton, was the oldest living resident of Kansas which
certainly is a· mistake as Palmyra township has a resident, in the person
ofR.H. Pearson, of Black Jack, who located his claim, now the Beeks
Farm just north of Baldwin, May 15 th, 1854, while Mr. Brittain (note
change of spelling) according to the Mail and Breeze did not locate
until the fall of that year.
R.H. Pearson was born in Yorkshire, England, April 1st, 1828 and with
his parents, in 1902 emigrated to America, locating at Alleghaney
City, Pa., living there until the California gold fever swept over the
United States when he went to California, where he was in 1853 and
early '54, when the bill was in Congress for the opening of Kansas and
Nebraska.
The talk among the California miners at that time was that Nebraska
would be a free state and Kansas a slave state, and the emigration fever
again entered Mr. Pearson's blood, and he left the gold fields for the
new county of Nebraska and Kansas, going by the way of Panama and
N ew York, and after a short visit with his parents in Pennsylvania.
3

�came on west by steam boat to Kansas City, then a small town and
only boasting one small hotel. There he met Joel K. Goodwin,(who was
afterwards killed by Jim Lane) Gayes Jinkins and Henry Barricklow,
Jf., who invited him to join their party and go with them to look for
townsites in the new country, but they desired locating in Kansas in
preference to Nebraska, claiming tht Kansas never would be a slave
state. The party first went to St. Joe from there to Weston opposite Ft.
Leavenworth and then to the Fort to obtain news in regard to the
opening of the new country. They were told if they located back thirty
miles fromthe State Line the Government troops would not molest
them. Leaving the Fort they returned to Kansas City where Pearson
and Barricklow purchased, each a pony, the rest of the party leasing a
team and wagon, and early in May traveled west, leaving civilization
behind, but passing many Indians with herds of ponies, crossing the
Kaw River at where Lawrence now stand~ then west to Big Springs
there the party turned back, returning as far as Mt Oread, which the
party decided was the best townsite location they had seen, they then
turned south, keeping along the Government road until they came to
what is now called Willow Springs, then east to Hickory point, there
they saw a wagon about 200 yards from the road. Pearson and
Barricklow decided on a visit to it and found a woman and three
children, with about half a dozen Kaw Indians standing around which
was causing the woman much uneasiness. She called Pearson to one
side and asked him and his party to remain awhile until her husband
who was away to purchase a cow should return. The party remained
awhile, Barricklow stopped three days and Pearson is still remaining.
The lady told them there were many good claims and that her husband,
a Mr Kibby would help them make a selection, and by the way this
Kibby was the man who killed a pro-slavery man by the name of Davis
at Lawrence, during and election, which is supposed to have been the
first death in the cause which brought on the Civil War. A pro-slavery
man was burning anti-slavery men's cabins and Kibby insisted that he
5

�stop. Davis took the matter up, and began stricking[sic] at Kibby with
a knife. Kibby had a pistol loaded with eight shot, and capped with a
cap furnished by Pearson and as Davis again advanced, shot him, the
whole load of buckshot entering the man's stomach, killing him almost
instantly.
Mr. Pearson pre-empted his farm, and the next spring Barricklow
returned, accompanied by Nehemia Green, (who was Lieut. Governor)
L.F. Green and Dan Johnson and wife who also settled near here.'
Mr. Pearson was all through the boarder[sic] warfare, being at the
battle of Black Jack, Blanton's Bridge, Prices Raid at Kansas City, at
Lawrence in 1855, at Bull Creek and East Tauy, besides helping to
persuade many a pro-slavery men that Kansas did not desire to be a
slave state, and received an honorable discharge from the U.S.
government. He is now getting along in years, but is yet very active
and energetic, and owns a farm of 240 acres on which the battle of
Black Jack was fought.
We believe this gives Mr. Pearson the claim to being the oldest living
settler of Kansas, having.pre-empted what is now the Beeks farm in
Palmyra township, Douglas County, Kansas May 15th, 1854, and is
still a resident of the same township.

BLACKJACK
The Baldwin Ledger 9 March 1900
Black Jack, Kansas, March 6, 1900
Editor Ledger
On last Saturday moming~ as I arrived in your city, I was informed that
5

�I had a brother at the hotel Stuart House, in which I had not seen for
nearly forty-four years. A brother who in the year of 1855 came to
Kansas over to Lawrence in company with Gov. Robinson~ wife and
others. Coming here in the pioneer days, though a young man, he with
others had a varied experience in this state as a free state frontiersman
The then city of Lawrence was only founded, the then (prospective
Palmyra). It was in the days of buffalo ranges, gamblers a few, but
thugs and in all a lively time. He had altercations and thrilling times
under varied circumstances. He being young, he was in his Pa's home,
restless and ambitious.
Seeing no opening for a boy in the crowded East he followed the
advice of Horace Greely, and Kansas then was the object point, and he
located upon the quarter section now owned and occupied by D.G.
Kennedy upon Black Jack Creek, Prairie City. T.J. Mowberry was the
main trader and old Prairie City offered in the pages of the Prairie Ci~
Champion edited by S.S. trouty, many inducements, and your pen
dotter who was a sojourner of that city looked often toward the
Barricklow hill to see the white top schooners that add to the
wonderful growth of Prairie city. That brother had been absent since
the spring of 1858. Living in Davenport he enlisted in 1861 and was at
Shiloh~ Fort Donelson, and carried three leaded bullets yet~ and one
deadly shot through the groin but he lived and after many long years of
absence he came back, not a youth, not a tenderfoot, but a man of age,
came to see a brother so long lost to pour out his tender passions of'
kindred affection and to look over the grounds where he and Koons,
one Anda Keepin, Gil Gillmore came to assassinate Esq. Rice, June
27 th 1857,where he and I, were amid great personal danger. With the
nerve of a man and the quickness of action, Koons was laid upon the
ground and the others began to plead and one day Proslavery mob was
quelted(?) And later on Koons who had killed his third free state man
6

�and planted them upon the bank of the west side of the battle ground,
bit the dust upon the night of 26th day of December 1857 and soon
after Anda Keepin watched an opportunity to attack the Stonebaker
boys and he got a left hander from Brother Austin that settled his
audacity to seeking hide go seek thereafter.
The early days of Black Jack carry with them much unwritten and
many an idle threat.
[an interesting way of writing.]
R.B. PEARSON, 1901
A case of Advancement.
The Baldwin Ledger, 11 January 1901

When I first settled in the territory of Kansas May 15, 1854, I went to
Kansas City fifty miles to get my mail. When Lawrence started mail
was changed there in the fall of 1854. Lawrence is twenty miles away.
In 1856 Palmyra started up and we had Newman Blood Postmaster.
Next Baldwin comes into existence, Mr. Scott is our Postmaster. Next
comes Rural Delivery No 1, Wellsville and I do not have to go so many
yards as I did miles in 1854. R.H. Pearson.
Also from The Baldwin Ledger 11 January 1901
W.C. Vantries, Robert Pearson, J.P. Bell, S.E. Carlton, A.T. Shepard,
Sam Stonebacker and Frank Bell have been in from the eastern part of
the township this week and they all say that the people in their
neighborhood are in favor of helping the Orient railroad.
[NOTE: This was in support of extending the Kansas City, Mexico &amp;
Orient RR from Kansas City to Baldwin City. Obviously the extension
never was completed.)

�MORTALITY SCHEDULES
What is it? A list made at the time a census was taken of those who
died during the preceding year.
Covers only persons who died in the 12 months preceding June 18t of
the census year. Example: 1850 Mortality Schedule lists persons
who died between June 1 1848 and May 31 1850
Information includes: Name, Sex, Age, Color, Birthplace, Occupation,
Marital Status:&gt; Month of Death:&gt; and cause. Some later ones even
give the parents names.
When were they recorded? 1850, 1860, 1870, 1880, 1890, 1900.
Mortality Schedules were taken by Counties, but are indexed by the
state asa whole. Since 1902 The Bureau of Census has obtained
Mortality date directly from records maintained by cities and states.

DOUGLAS COUNTY TOMBSTONE CENSUS BOOKS.
In the middle of page 266 of volume 2 of the Douglas Co Tombstone
Census there is a note about 3 tombstones that they think may be for
the surname '~Moore". The stones were for Dicey:&gt; Ethel and Earl.
While working on the Bell family records with AI V anTries, I related
the story of no surnames for the 3 tombstones at Old Pioneer Cemetery
in south Baldwin. He recalled that he had a relative named "Dicey".
With that unusual name, he was able to fmd that he was related to the
3 persons. Here is the story.
Dicey Prather, b. 9 Apri' 1859, dau. of Thomas Helms and Nancy
Elizabeth (Alverson) Prather, d. 27 February 1892, married 23 October
8

�1879 to John Wilkerson. They had 4 children including one Earl
Wilkerson, b. 1882 d. 1885. Dicey's sister Esther Lulie Prather,
married Duncan Wilkerson~ the brother of John Wilkerson. So 2
sisters married 2 brothers. Esther and Duncan had 4 children,
including Ethel Wilkerson, b. 1883, d. 1885.
So the surname mystery has been resolved. They are all Wilkerson.

D.G. KENNEDY STORE
The Baldwin Ledger, 5 February 1904.
The store ofD.G. Kennedy, at Vinland, was burned last Friday
morning. The entire stock of groceries and merchandise and all his
household goods were destroyed. All valuable papers were saved
belonging to the post office department. The fire originated from a
defective flue. The loss was about $8000, fully insured. Mr. Kennedy
will rebuild as soon as possible.

�I plan to add much more data in the coming months. Also, be sure to
check out my "Online Counties" page to see if I have a website for
your other Kansas counties of interest.
I hope you will have a look at my new website,and if you have any
corrections, suggestions, questions or want to contribute pictures or
data, I will be happy to hear from you. I am moving on to my next
county in the project, but I will come back to Douglas County from
time to time to add data, so please bookmark this site. I will announce
any major additions of data on this list.

This website features a search engine, but I strongly urge you to
browse the data, as some of the spelling of surnames is questionable.
Douglas is the 45 th county in this project-only 60 counties to go! I
hope to have all Kansas counties online within the next two years, but
until I can gather enough data for a specific county, I will store the file
for that county on the state website.
Http://www.roots\veb.ancestry.con1/~kahhp/index.html

This website houses also statewide information (such as maps, military
histories, college files, etc.) as well as serving as a repository for data
for the "orphan" counties, and links to counties that do have their own

�T.B. SHORE LNING IN BALDWIN
The Baldwin Ledger, 7 July 1905
Celebrated the 4th here in 1857.
Fourth of July Celebration here nearly a half century ago.
The first time the Fourth of July was celebrated in this neighborhood
was in 1857, just forty-eight years ago, one year before Baldwin.
townsite was laid out-Kansas then being a territory.
The day was celebrated by giving a a public dinner and speaking, and
was held on the hill in West Baldwin, which was then called Prairie
City.
The late Sam Wood, who was killed some years ago in a county seat
war in the southern part of this state spoke on that occasion. There are
two people living in Baldwin today who took part in that celebration~
being T.B. Shore and S.L Clark.

ABOUT THE SANTA FE TRAIL
The Baldwin Ledger, Friday, 3 February 1905
Recent agitation to mark the line of the pathway-Baldwin on the .list
Monuments are springing up in various parts of Kansas for providing
permanent markers for the old Santa Fe Trail, which preceded the
Santa Fe railroad as the connecting link between the east and west.
Franklin county cannot get in on the original Santa Fe trail deal, but
she has as fine a line of side trails, rich in history, as any county in the
state. The original Santa Fe trail and main line on which the gold
13

�traffic to California traveled, crossed the Missouri at Westport and
came west through Black Jack, through the present location of
Baldwin and just missed the northwest comer of Franklin county,
passing west through Burlingame. Another trail went to the north
through or near Lawrence, and the two trails joined near Burlingame.
It was the traffic that came up from the south, from western Missouri
and Fort Scott and even from the south, that passed through Franklin
county on the way to join the great pathway to the west. This road
crossed the Marais des Cygnes river at what is still known as "Fort
Scott crossing", which is some three miles down the river from
Ottawa. The seventh street road runs by it, and a branch crossed it. On
the east and south the trail crossed the Pottawatomie near Lane at what
was known as "Dutch Henry's crossing". It was here that one of John
Brown's massacres took place.
Though it is proposed to mark the Santa Fe trail proper with
monuments it will never be possible to define any definite track or set
of tracks as the exclusive trail. When the emigrants struck the prairies
west of the Missouri they spread out over the considerable territory, the
various trails or paths coming together at the principal watering places.
So it came about that many California pilgrims came down past the
Tauy Jones place, now Woodlief though the main trail did not run that
way. These were fITst parties to introduce blue grass to this county.
Seed dropped on the prairie in time sodded an entire section of ground,
while all around was the prairie, and the unsettled wilderness. Tauy
Jones and Robert Atkinson got the idea of cultivating blue grass here
from this volunteer crop that sprang up on the branch of the Santa Fe
trail. The old Santa Fe well in north Baldwin will always mark this
trail here.

�This is one chapter from More About Wonderful Old Lawrence by
Elfriede Fischer Rowe, a longtime resident of Lawrence. This is'
copyright 1981 by Mrs. Rowe.

NEW CITY HALL A LINK TO CITY'S ROOTS
"At last we are in our new home!"
How many times that has been said by people? And the City of
Lawrence can well say it now, with its new city hall. The city has been
renting for the past 10 years. True, there have been several "homes",
but this is the first city-built structure erected exclusively for the,
purpose of conducting municipal business.

In the earliest years, city business was carried on in one room in the
back of a privately owned fire department. This was near the location
of the Community Building at 11th and Vermont. Soon after, officials
moved from there and rented one room in the rear of a red brick
building at the northwest comer of Eighth and Vermont at the rate of
$8 per month.
Records show that in 1885, the City of Lawrence purchased three lots
at the northwest comer of Eighth and Vermont at a total cost of
$2~650. They apparently leaSed three lots to a group of men to build a
city market.
However the builders took on more financial obligations than they
could handle, so they sold the building to the city for $28,000 in 1896.
The city then proceeded to make room for the many offices needed to
conduct government business.
The fire department, not owned by the city at that time, also moved in.
15

�There was enough room in the red brick building to house the offices
of the mayor, city council, city clerk, county clerk, county treasurer,
sherif±: district court, register of deeds, city marshal, city engineer and
police headquarters. Next to the police judge's room were cells for
drunks.
Besides all the activities that went with these various offices, the
election board for Ward I functioned there. As the years went on, the
outside of this beautiful old brick building did not reflect the old
greasy wooden floors, the ancient wooden stairs and the inadequate
plumbing and lighting. It was not conducive for efficient operation of
a rapidly growing city.
In 1905, the county offices moved out when the present county
courthouse was completed. In 1929, the city offices were moved to
what is now the Elizabeth Watkins Community Museum building due
to the generosity of Mrs. lB. Watkins who bequeathed it to the city,
The building was originally built for the banking and mortgage
business.
Here was a magnificent structure both inside and out but the costly,
elegant fixtures and marble floors added nothing to contribute to
efficiently handle city business. Space was cramped. Partitions were
installed, but it became apparent the city had outgrown the Watkins
building and did not have the funds to bring it up to par.
So in October of 1970, the city moved again, this time to rented
quarters in the First National Bank Tower. Now, 10 years later, we
find the city finally with its own "home." Settlement in the location
seems fitting and proper-where out town began- on the banks of the
Kaw River-more or less in the center of Lawrence's early beginnings.

16

�The marker for the first house is a half block south. To the east, at the
foot of New Hampshire Street was the ferry landing used before we
had a bridge, and to the west now are the two bridges linking north,
east and west Lawrence. The new city hall is an anchor at the north
end of Lawrence, with the county courthouse and the Watkins building
at the south end of the downtown business district.
I

The new brick-face building at Sixth and Massachusetts quietly fits
into its surroundings. But, you have to go inside to get the "feel" of the
whole concept. Those who objected to the location should give it a
second thought and take a tour of the building before criticizing
further. One would have to be unreasonably biased not to
acknowledge the inspiring views in all directions from the many·
windows.
Taking a quick tour of this five-story building, one finds there are four
stories showing from the south and five stories on the north counting
the basement. Walking in on the south, you are on the ground floor.
Immediately on your left is the commission meeting room with
spectator seating for over 80, and for around 40 more if they overflow
into the hall. Chairs for the overflow are provided when needed, and
sound is piped from the main room. The commission room has a
large, black-lighted screen on one wall. The colors used and placement
of chairs give an air of friendliness, and you feel relaxed. This first
floor houses the mayor's office, which is shared by the commisioners.
You pay your water bill on the second floor, and while doing so you
can look out the windows for a magnificent view of the river and
beyond. The city clerk's and finance director's offices are there too.
Ethan Smith, finance director, has a view from his office windows that
all artists and photographers would like to catch on canvas or paper.
As you look down, you see the Kaw River and dam and two bridges.
17

�Beyond to the right are the grain elevators formerly Derby Grain,
owned by Paul Smart. They belong in this picture, for they are·symbols
of Kansas and a reminder of the importance of Kansas in helping feed
the world. And framing this picture are the hills way beyond to the
north.
The third floor houses personnel and human resources.
Our city manager, Buford Watson, has his offices on the fourth floor.
They are appropriately on the south side so he can look out over the
city, downtown Lawrence, KU's Fraser Hall and the Campanile.
Because of the time of year, to the west the trees hide the houses one
probably can identify in the winter when the leaves are gone. At the
other end of the fourth floor is Parks and Recreation. The offices have
the east view of the river. They need little artificial light due to the
light walls and large picture windows.
The basement houses engineering, building inspection, Community
Development and the atrium:. which has been spoken of as a
"greenhouse," possibly because of its greenhouse-shaped windows.
But it is much more functional than a greenhouse.
It is a place where employees and the public can go in, relax and rest
and eat a lunch. At the east end, just outside, are vending machines
and a small microwave oven for those who wish to have a soft drink or
snack. With the south exposure in the atrium plants should flourish .
The cost of the city hall project is around $3 million. That's quite a
contrast to the purchase by the city for the city hall at Eighth and
Vermont for $28,000. About $1 million has been paid directly from
federal revenue-sharing and $2 million is bonded to be paid off by
1988. How lucky it seems for the people who work at the Lawrence
city hall, that they can look out every day to such beauty.
18

�Provisions for the handicapped to be able to use and enjoy this
building have been well-planned, When you drive into the parking
area;. which is directly east and at the end of New Hampshire;. you will
find two levels for parking. There are special parking stalls for the
handicapped as well as stalls for bicycles. The east doors are
especially weighted, and it takes only a light to.uch for them to open.
Then you are on the first floor.
The old Bowersock grain elevators have been cut down and the bases
left to serve as a retaining wall for planting of greenery. Not only does
the location of the new city hall bring the City of Lawrence closer
together, but it ties in with our two new parks. There is a walking
nature trail that starts at Burcham Park at the foot of Indiana Street and
continues east to join Tommy Constant Park and goes on east winding
up at Robinson Park and City Hall. This trail is for the enjoyment of
all ages.
And now, for the first time after 122 years (its charter was granted in
1858), Lawrence has its first home, designed and built exclusively for
its sole use.

This was in a letter frm Kansas Senator Terry Bruce. This came from a
friend in Eldorado.

First and foremost,

OU\~ a/li~ent infotmatkm -

as lust hapoel7ed recBl7tll/ -

than anJ'body is from the palty ,-Bets

included in the census.
Griping about the fisk of identity theft from 1940 census data is a little bit like complaining
that your tea is cold in the dining room of the Trtanic just after it struck the iceberg.
Let's start with the simple fact that the vast majority of those enumerated on the 1940 census are
dead. Of the roughly 132 millions Americans enumerated in 1940, some 85 percent or more have
passed on. Whatever privacy interest the dead may have had in their census data, it passed on
with them.

The law --- and common sense - - tells us that the right of privacy is personal and

doesn't survive the person.~
8u(. the naysayers how(. what about those sM/ living? For them.. they whine.. the census
information is

" an

.

invitation to defraud the elderly, as many financial institutions use things lik6!

mother s maiden name, fathers middle name, and/or date of bflth as passwords."E
Maiden names? You're kidding me, rlgM? My parents are both listed

li7

the 1940 census with

both of their mothers. Neither of the mothers' maiden names is shown, on{y their married names.'

21

�;' ve looked at a LOT of 1940 census pages already; beyond my own family pages, t'm a/so doing

indexing. You know how many maiden names I've seen? None. Not one. Nada. Zilch,
To lim! t,?e maidell name ol the mother ol a man living toda}" you need to know who his

grandparents were. Finding him in the census won't do it. And to find the maiden name of the
mother of a woman living today, you have to know her maiden name just to find her on the
census, and then go back beyond her parents to find her grandparents. And in both cases, even if
you had aii that info to start looking in the census, you still wouldn't get the right maiden name if
there was a divorce or death and then a remarriage. Just how many identity thieves are going to
put in that much effort, hmmmm?

Middle names? Vou're still kidding, aren't you? My father's middle name isn't il7 his census
record. Neither of my grandfathers' middle names are shown. Guess how many middle names the

enumerator in my Chicago grandparents' enumeration district wrote down? Vep, you got it. Exactly

,

none. In lI1alW cases, the enumerator didn t even write down the first name,' but used initials only.
And birthdates? Excuse rne? What bit1hdates? You A'now how' many' bit1hdates appear in the entire
1-'140 ce.nsus, slatt to .fini..9h, afl /32 miffion entries? None. There's an age given, but no dale of
bit1h at all.
My German grandmother told the enumerator she was age 49 and my father was 18.~ So tell me,
doom and gloom folks, what year was each of them born? Was she born in 1891 (and had
already had her birthday in 1940) or 1890 (and wouldn't tum 50 until after the census)? Was
he born in ! 9 2! or 1922? If you can't tell

me the year of birth, pray te/I, what good is the

census in determining the date of birth?
The naysayers then warn that senior citizens could be conned into giving up inf&lt;?rmation because
identity thieves can find out what street they grew up on. No, from the census, assuming you can
ifrrd tile person at ail (remember 85% of those enumerated are dead now), you can find out only

what street the person lived on in 1940,: and only if the person lived in an area urban enough to
use street addresses and even then only if the enumerator wrote that information down.
And then you have to make the leap to the conclusion that American senior citizens are so
damned dumb they'll hand over info to anybody who calls or emails talking about that street.
Gimme a break!!!
But at a minimum we should "consider restricting the general publication of answers to sensitive
questions." ooe dooms3yer demands.: Uh ... what sensitive questions? There aren't any phone

numbers in census records.

There aren't any Social Security numbers in census records. No bank

account data. No asset information, except maybe if you owned your home or rented it.

There

aren't any deep dark secrets here and nothing of interest or even use to Identity thieves.

The Baldwin Ledger, 4 Oct. 1912
Elsie Beauchat was born in Berne, Switzerland, April 13'\ 1829, and departed this life at the
home of her daughter, Mrs. A. D. Butel, near Baldwin City, in the evening of September 26,
1912, as the clock was striking the hour of nine. In the beautiful land of the Alps, she spent her
childhood days, and it was here amid the most beautiful picturesque scenery of the world she
grew to womanhood. At the age of twenty-three she came with parents to America and located
in Norfolk, Conn.; it was here she became acquainted with Xavier Jardon and they were united
in marriage November 1st, 1852. Unto this union were born twelve children, three dying in
infancy. The young couple established their new home near Norfolk, where they resided for six
years.
In the early thrilling days when excitement was running high, and the destiny of Kansas was in
the balance as she was struggling for free state hood, with the border ruffians and bushwackers
on all sides, they left their pleasant New England home with their then three children and came

24

�to Kansas November 1st, 1858. They located on the farm three miles southwest of Baldwin City
and in a little log cabin they made their home during those pioneer days.
After Quantrill's band had burned and sacked Lawrence and in their retreat south they passed
through Mr. Jardon's farm. Halting at the little cabin they demanded her, at the point of
revolver, to draw water from a deep well for them and their horses, which she did that hot
August day; being nearly overcome with heat and fatigue when they left, but by her heroic work
their little cabin was spared.
She and her noble husband were ever ready to give their aid for the promotion and good of our
State when such help was so much needed.
By their diligence and perseverance their frontier claim bloomed into a well improved farm. It
was here where their six sons and three daughters grew to manhood and womanhood and it was
here her noble husband died November 7t \ 1890. Since his death she has spent much of her time
with her several children but always having a small home to go to whenever she wished. Her life
extending over a period of eighty-three years has 'been a busy one, full of noble deeds and good
works and after a short illness the Master beckoned her home to meet the many loved ones on
the other shore and rest forever from all cares. She has gone from our midst but in memory
lives. The funeral was held Saturday, Sept. 28 t\ at the West Baldwin City Catholic church,
conducted by the Rev. Father DeGeary. The floral tributes were numerous and beautiful and
certainly bespeaks the love and appreciation in which she was held. She was laid to her final rest
in the Catholic cemetery by the side of her husband.
She is survived by nine children, A. M., F. X., M. J., and A. D. Jardon, of this neighborhood,
Alfred Jardon of Colorado; Mrs. A. B. Butel of Overbrook; Mrs. Walter Ford of Oklahoma;
Mrs. A. D. Butel, at whose home she died near Baldwin City, and Edmund Jardon, and one
brother Acmil Beauchat, of Greenwood Co. She leaves thirty-seven grandchildren and five
great-grandchildren and a host of friends to mourn her departure.

'PEARSON ANT[QUE CLOCK MAKJES OTHER OLD-TIMERS SEEM
MODERN
The Baldwin Ledger, 12 June 1952
A grandfather clock, 208 years old, now occupies a treasured spot on the Old Santa Fe Trail
where it resided in the 1850's and 1860's. It is in the home of Miss Elizabeth and Ed Pearson,
one and one-half miles east of Baldwin on Highway No. 50. [Later to be U.S. 56]
Its eight foot charm of beautifully grained walnut, varnished smoothly, and a face of shining
copper with hand-tooled numerals and decorative designs seems to reflect a vast store of

25

�information about its early days in Engiand, its severi-weeks trips across the Atlantic, its trip by
boat to Westport, its wagon-trail trip into what is now Kansas, its knowledge of Kibbie, the
Quantrill Raid, the Battle of Black Jack, the Civil War. And it seems to reflect some of the
polish it gained among folks ofth East as it passed out the hours to admires and friends within a
stones's throw of Independence Hall, Philadelphia, Pa., where [the] Liberty Bell once tolled the
news of complete Independence.
In this old clock's presence, one fails to say, "We have an antique at our house," for this
beautiful creation seems to put all antiques of this mid-west region in an "on-the-other-side-ofthe-tracks" class. It might be compared as a King George II versus a Harry Truman, or a George
Washington to a Dwight Eisenhower, though certainly it is not haughty in its stature of being
over and above the usual run of antiques. It is well seasoned, may we say, with an imposing
store of past experience, yet it might groan excusably when Charley McCarthy is on the air.
But let us look inside. Here is a note in faded ink written when the clock was first beginning to
be recognized as venerable and deserving of tender care in its old age.
"This Grandfather clock was bought by my father, William Pearson, in 1824 at a Vendue Sale
(public auction) in Leeds, or Basough Bridge, England, of Ralph Atkinson, who was 80 years
old. It had belonged to his - Atkinson's - father all his life, making this clock 165 years old this
date, 1909.
Eliza P. Feltwell, Germantown, Pennsylvania."

HA1LF CENTURY CLUB CONVENES
The Baldwin Ledger, 27 Sep. 1934
12 Couples Present
Good Cheer and lively Interest Shown by Couples Married Over 50 Years
An annual meeting which is of unusual interest in this community is that of The Half Century
Club, the membership being composed ofthose couples who have been married for longer than fifty
years. The second annual event was held Wednesday noon in the choir room of the church
[Baldwin First United Methodist].
A delightful luncheon was served to the twelve couples present. Three couples were unable to
attend.
Following the luncheon, officers were elected for the coming year: Mr. Ruchty, president and Mr.
. Saunders, secretary and treasurer. Good fellowship, good cheer, lively interest and content were
characteristic of the gu~sts and why not for have they not accomplished the goal to which all young
couples look, - growmg old together - and have they not proved the truth of
"Grow old along with me, dear;

26

�The best of life - the last of life .
For which the first was made."
The couple longest married, Mr. and Mrs. D. R. McKinney were wed in 1875 or 59 years ago.
Mrs. McKinney was also the first girl baby born in Palmyra township.
N. F. Payne, S. Bruner and Rev. C. W. Bailey are Civil War veterans.
Following is a list of guests with date of wedding.

Wednesday morning sorrow came to the home of the Clyde Stewart, when a member of the
family, Boy Stewart, passed away at 3: 18 a.m. Boy Stewart was 15 years old at the time of
death. Funeral services were held that afternoon at four o'clock. Boy Stewart will be
remembered as the little white dog that followed in the footsteps of his master for many years.
Despite its age, it would make the daily trips to the postoffice and around to the places of
business as its master would talk over the days events. However, for the past two years Boy was
unable to get out of the house. Boy was buried with honors and in a small steel vault

RECEIVE FINAL P AlPERS

The head of Ottawa University has made the assertion that automobiles have been the cause of dropping
off of the .pupils in educational institutions, because the farmers buy buzz wagons, instead of sending
their children to college.

The Baldwin Republican, 9 Aug. 1907
A town which boasts of good business concerns, increased activity in business circles, new projects
being rapidly put forward, combined with good homes and a picturesque beauty which nature has
bestowed upon her people, many of whose names are linked with those of history and a clean moral
atmosphere. This is a combination which is found in West Baldwin. The foundation for the wealth of this
community is found in the wealth of the adjoining country, the soil is fertile and rich and the country
people for a radius of twenty miles have taken advantage of natures abundance and developed a land
which is excelled by none in the middle west. The country people are established and well-to-do with
comfortable homes and modern arrangements they are able to supply a source for the business which is
transacted in West Baldwin. So it is to the surrounding country and the people that we owe the growth of
West Baldwin.
Among the prominent business firms we should mention the grain mill operated by Messrs. Rapp and
Blanchard, men of shrewd business ability and well known integrity. At the present time the mill is doing
a large business, newly equipped with machinery and labor saving devices. They are in a position to
handle the patronage which they well deserve.
Another enterprise which has been a landmark in the history of West Baldwin is the firm of J. C., Bare &amp;
Co., this firm deals in general merchandise and to their credit it may be said that more is due these
people in the encouragement of country trade than any firm in West Baldwin and because of this
encouragement they have brought a greater amount of country trade to the city than any other concern
and with effort and labor they have built up a substantial business which is a credit to the town. A deal
has been recently closed whereby their possessions were transferred to C. A. Barrett &amp; Co. The ad. of J.
C. Bare &amp; Co. will be found in this issue.
The firm of N. Filibert &amp; Co. operating the Farmer's Exchange Mill, with Jules Cregut as manager
has proved a decided success. Mr. Cregut is a hustling business man and popular with all who know him,
with new buildings, new machinery and added facilities along every line this mill handles an immense
business of general grain products and is an industry worthy of any city.
, Another business enterprise of West Baldwin which has become a marked success is the grocery
business owned by J. D. Lindemood. Mr. Lindemood has been in business in West Baldwin something
over three years and in that time he has put a new front in his store, widened the rear part and from time
to time enlarged his stock until today this store is one of the best stores in this part of the county. Mr.

28'

�Lindemood is a man of rare business ability which combined with an always pleasing manner, has gained
for him an enviable reputation through out the surrounding country.
The Hardware Store of Shore &amp; Son is a modern up-to-date business concern. Mr. Shore carries a
complete line of hardware not excelled in completeness, in the vicinity, he also has a speCialty in the line
of buggies and farm implements. Mr. Shore has gained for himself a reputation as a square business
man and well deserves the patronage of the people of this vicinity.
The business operated by the genial Mr. James Lair is another of West Baldwin's leading institutions. Mr.
Lair has established a milk station where th country people have a ready market for all their dairy
products and besides ths Mr. Lair carries a line of De-Laval cream separators in which he does a very
creditable business. Mr. Lair is a shrewd business man combined with a congeniality which marks him as
one of the most popular business men of the town.
An institution has just taken root in the town, in the transfer of Mr. Nabs business to Dr. E. G. L. Harbour.
Dr. Harbour is establishing a veterinary hospital, the only one of its kind in the county, the Dr. has
started in this work with the intention of having a modern building with the best of facilities for treating
diseases of animals. He also has several of the best stallions in the country which he will stand at his
place of bUSiness. Dr. Harbour is eminently fitted for this new enterprise, he being a graduate of the
Kansas City Veterinary School and a man since his residence here who have proved himself a very
capable and energetic man. We predict a very marked success for this new venture.
These institutions which have been mentioned here are the leading ones, and now as a parting word we
would say that whenever you are in West Baldwin drop around to their several places and see for
yourself what time has accomplished for the town. You will be surprised at the rapid strides which West
Baldwin has made in a business way.

The Baldwin Republican, 3 May 1907
The late S. B. Rohrbaugh of Ottawa bequeathed to Baker University, one half the real and personal
property, not otherwise bequeathed, to be held in trust forever and known as the L. B. Rohrbaugh
endowment fund. To be donated to the assistance of such indigent students of Baker as shall be
recommended by the president.'

------------------------FOOD INSPECTOR HERE
The Baldwin Republican. 7 June 1907
John A. Kleinhans, the State Food Inspector was in Baldwin, visiting the grocers, meat market.
restaurants, etc. He requires them to keep their ice boxes in a clean sanitary condition. Sidewalk displays
of fruit and vegetables must be 18 inches or more above the sidewalk. He also, requires them to keep

29

�their pickle and lard barrels, butter, crackers, etc., covered protecting the same from flies, dust and other
contaminations. The use of preservatives in hamburger, veal loaf or other meat products is absolutely
prohibited under the pure foot law. It has become in Kansas, that the label did not express the contents of
the package, but now it is different. If a syrup can contains 90 per cent of glucose and 10 per cent of
cane sugar, then these proportions of mixture must be expressed. Also, if catsup is made from
pumpkins, apple pulps, turnips and colored and presered [pressured, or preserved ?1 with Benzoate soda
it must be expressed on the label. Whenever artificial or imitation flavors are used, or coloring in either, in
anyway, it must also be expressed on the label. Ice cream must contain 14 per cent of butter fat. Bake
shops must be kept clean and in sanitary condition.
Mr. Kleinhans says he found everyone in Baldwin in favor of the pure food law and trying to live up to it.

-----------------------------------BALDWIN'S PHONE SYSTEM

The Baldwin Republican, 19 Julv 1907
Under Efficient Management of R. R. Blaine---- Recognized as One of Best In the State.
At the present time Baldwin has one of the best telephone systems in Kansas, in point of service and
equipment it is excelled by none. Much of the credit for this work must be given Mr. Ross Blaine, the
hustling manager. Mr. Blaine took charge of the system five years ago, when it was in its infancy. At that
time there were but 103 phones in operation and a petition was being circulated to have them removed
because of poor service. There were no wires outside the city and not a rural line in operation; longdistance communications were out of the question; the company employed one girl in the office. From
the time Mr. Blaine accepted the management a steady improvement in every line has taken place, until
now the company has a new 500 line switchboard, new distribution racks. commodious and pleasant
offices and employ four girls in the office. The subscribers now number 535; 200 of these being country
people on the different rural lines.
The company how has good long-distance connections with Ottawa, Lawrence, Kansas City and Topeka
and the subscribers may get their connections and talk through their own phone. Pay stations are also
located at the hotel and college.

During the five years o.f his management Mr. Blaine has not been
away from his work a week, a very enviable record indeed, nd his
endeavor has been to give the people the best service possible,
a feature which is much appreciated by the

patrons

formed which will move to the site of the monument, the proceSSion- to be made up of the general
public and public school children. At the site of the monument. music will be furnished by the public
school children and the formal presentations of the monument to the town of Baldwin will be made after
which the mayor in behalf of the town will make an acceptance speech. This event is to be of unusual
interest to local people in that the historical county action of Palmyra and the Santa Fe Trail are closely
interwoven. The monument is erected on a tongue of land having a connection with the original Trail
itself. This is significant because of the fact that no where else is the old Trail used as a public highway.
The ground upon which the monument rests was presented to Baker University by I. Stickle upon the
condition that it receive proper care, this is another piece of local interest.
It is quite likely that the business men of the town will close their business places from 2:30 until 5, as
this event is one of interest to us locally, let us show our enthusiasm and interest by being present at
their exercises Oct. 11.

A Large Gathering of Those Who First came to This County - to be permanent.
The weather man was kind to the aged last Wednesday when the reunion of old settlers was held
in Baldwin. And they came as happy as children in spring time to talk over the days of long ago
- '''~hen you and I were young Tom, just forty years ago."
At 1:30 0' clock almost 100 people sat down to a dinner that would satisfy the most exacting, and
the splendid fellowship of the hour made it a most joyous occasion. Children of the early fathers
and mother, waited on the tables
and some of them are not very young either.
Pres. Murlin declared that as Mayor Markham had been called out of the city, it fell to him as
constable to take charge of the meeting and after a few happy remarks proceeded to call upon the
31

�children of the past generation for reminiscences. John Walton ofVinland, gave some interesting
incidents. He helped to erect the "old castle". W. T. Jones followed. Mr. Jones came here in 1855
and doubtless has lived here longer than anyone else present: As a boy 10 years of age he often
sat in his father's house and listened to the discussions held by his father and John Brown over
the slavery question. He gave a splendid description of the Battle of Black Jack and declared

that the reward of that victory belonged to Capt. Shore and his company rather that to John
Brown. (It developed afterward that Mr. Robt. A. Shore who was present was a soldier in the
Battle of Black Jack.) Mr. Jones gave some interesting anecdotes of Jim Lane. Mr. Jones also
helped to build the "Old Castle."
Wm. Gill arrived in Kansas in time to take part in the surrender of Ft. Sanders and to have the
U.S. troops take away his rifle. He served under Col. Eldridge in trying to make this a free state
before the civil war began.
Wm. Pardee, arrived with his father in Kansas City on July 5, 1850. He went over the Santa Fe
trail to New Mexico in 1855 and has made a permanent home in Kansas since 1858. He is proud
that his lot has been cast with the free people of Kansas. C. W. Ingle told some interesting
incidents of Jim Lane's life.A. A. B. Cavaness referred to the sacking of Lawrence. Mr. Dershem
came here in 1859. He described the Ouantrell plan to sack Lawrence, Palmyra, Prairie City and
Paola. He was with the "home guards" who drove Quantrell west of Baldwin and thus saved this
place from destruction. He had an old musket dated 1790.
Sam Gardner spoke feelingly of the many families who were not here today that had helped to
mould (sic) the character of this community. Mr. Gardner was one of the first pupils in Baker
University. Dike Barricklaw at this point advocated a permanent organization and during this
discussion, Wm. Foster waxed eloquent over the results of the past 50 years in this state. He
declared that it seemed just as reasonable to think of Baldwin 50 years from now with 50,000
inhabitants and Baker with 3,000 students as it was 50 years ago to think that this community
would bring as much to pass as it has. 1. J. Wilkins told of the old Fager wagon shop near the
Santa Fe well. Cass Barricklaw has a dru.m from the Battle of Black Jack and some guns from
the Ouantrell raid.
The Barricklaw motion for a permanent organization carried unanimously, and a committee
reported the following list of officers for next year; Pres., Wm. Black; Vice Pres., A. A. B.
Cavaness; Sec., Chas. E. Beeks and Treas., Wm. Gill. The next reunion will be the first
Wednesday in October 1907.
Miss Meeker of Ottawa and Mrs. Clarence Hall of Lawrence representing the chapters of the
Daughters of the American Revolution in their respective towns were presented and presented the
matter of marking the Santa Fe trail. It was decided by the gathering to ask their officers to act
with the committee already appointed by the City Council and these chapters of the D.A.R. in
erecting a fitting monument near Baldwin on the trail.
A number of interesting facts developed at this gathering. There were about 20 present who have
lived here 50 years and over, and there were almost 40 present who have lived here 45 years and
32

�more. Mrs. Dave McKinney was the first white child born in this township. She was 50 years old
last Tuesday and she was one of the youngest girls present. Shawnee McKinney was born in
Johnson Co., March 25, 1852. He was present as he had a most excellent right to be. Where is
there an older native born Kansas?
All hail! to the founders of free Kansas! Who has a better right to enjoy the good cheer and
prosperity of this hour. They builded (sic) well and in their twilight hours they should receive our
choicest attention and kindest thoughts.

The Santa Fe Trail Markers for Baldwin are on display.
The bronze table which is to be placed by the Daughters of the American Revolution at a point near
Baldwin, to mark the Santa Fe trail. is on display at the store of C. C. Seewir.

1. The tablet which is a very handsome one, measures 19 by 28 inches, and upon it is carved three yoke
of oxen, and this inscription: "This marks the route ofthe Santa Fe trail from Kansas City to Santa Fe,
1822 - 1880." Upon the tablet is also carved the Kansas seal and the seal of the city of Santa Fe, New
Mexico. This tablet is to be set in the side of the marker which is a boulder of red granite 4 Yz feet in length,
3 feet wide and 1 Yz feet thick. Upon it will be the inscription "Erected by the Lawrence and Ottawa
chapters ofthe Daughters ofthe American Revolution, 1907."
Flag day, June 14, has been chosen as the day for the unveiling of the tablet. and the exercises will be held
then, provided the stone, which is to come from Granite, Okla., arrives in time.
The chapters from Lawrence and Ottawa and their friends, will go to Baldwin for the event. - Lawrence

Some Very Interesting Facts Culled From the College Entrance Blanks - A Healthy Increase
The student population always creates some very interesting statistics. We give below some figures
concerning this year's enrollment that will be enjoyed by all. There are some interesting conclusions to
be drawn from them. We leave you to find them, suffice to say that the increase among new students
has been greater among the girls than the boys which fact may be explained by two reasons: this is
becoming such a materialistic age that the young men rush off to technical schools without taking a
regular college course and'also that when times are good and people.have plenty of ready ':'l0ney the
girls are sent to college otherwise they are kept at home even when circumstances are strained to
send the boys.

The Baldwin Ledger. 9 June 1905
It is said that the immense increase in immigration in the present year has excited so much alarm in
administration circles that the President will propose that the present $2 head tax on immigrants be
advanced to $25. The chances are that President will urge nothing of the kind. Undoubtedly this year's
immigration figures will leave all former records far behind. In the fiscal year 1903. 857.046 immigrants
arrived in this country. which was far above any previous total. And though the number fell to 812.870
in 1904. it has gained so much in the past half year that the aggregate for the twelve months ending
June 3~. 1905. will be over 900.000. For the calendar year 1905 the total will be over 1.000.000.

34

�These figures are big enough to compel attention. They are frightening some of the immigration
officials and a few members of the administration, especially as more than half of the incomers are
from Austria-Hungary, Russia and Italy, which are the countries that many of our people want to hit. But
if we put the head tax at $25 we also hit England, Ireland, Germany, Norway and Sweden, which are
countries that we are trying to attract immigration from. Of the 650,000 immigrants who landed in this
country during the nine months ended with March of the present fiscal year, 157,000 came from the
British islands, Germany and Norway-Sweden. A tax such as is here proposed would shut out tens of
thousands of those immigrants, as well as the incomers from the less favored countries.
A good remedy for the excessive immigration, if it is excessive, is to enforce with the utmost rigidity the
laws against the incoming of paupers, criminals and those who are physically, mentally or morally
defective. Those restrictions should be imposed robustly, whether the immigration is small or large. It
must be remembered, too, that the immigration, even at the present high-water mark, is,
proportionately to the aggregate population, below that of several periods in the past. Let the laws
against the admission of improper persons be vigorously enforced. Let attempts be made to send a
large proportion of the immigrants to the South, where they are needed, and to the West. where there
are still chances for the industrious, the law-abiding and the intelligent. But let Congress go slow about
making any such advance in the head tax as the jump to $25 which is suggested.

The Methodists Hold an Interesting and Profitable Service
Last Sunday was a day of unusual rejoicing to the membership of the M. E. church in this city. The
Sunday previous had witnessed the baptism of thirty-four candidates by the pastor, Dr. I. B. Pulliam an unusual sight - but this Sunday the consummating service of church relationship took place with
fifty-one accessions. The church now enjoys a membership of about 950 and hardly a Sunday passes
without someone joining by certificate or letter. Several years since when the matter of building the
church was under discussion many thought that the people were planning too largely but Sunday
morning witnessed a crowded house and yet not nearly all the membership was there.
At the Sunday School the attendance was 650 and it is a problem to arrange the classes so they will
not disturb one another. This problem will not be settled until the entire basement of the church has
been fitted out for class rooms. Dr. Pulliam is to be congratulated upon the success of the work under
his charge at this place.

There has been some talk of removing the hedge fence about the campus and it is to be hoped that it
will be done. In the first place the hedge was placed there in the early days to keep the cattle and stock,
which were allowed to run free more or less, off the campus. Then it is so badly broken and disfigured
at places that it has ceased to be an ornament. It is also an obstruction to the view of the buildings and

35

�if removed would make the campus look much larger. The Ledgerwill give $5 to it if done this summer.

ORDERS

The Baldwin Ledger, 20 July 1906
That a town is growing and becoming more prosperous, can be proven in no better way than by the
prosperity of its printing office.
This week the Ledger turned out 24.000 picture post cards of the different buildings and scenes around
Baldwin, for Baker University. This is one, if not the largest jobs of its kind that has ever been done in
this part of the country.
We are also printing Vol. 6, NO.4 of the University Bulletin. This number is devoted entirely to the
Conservatory of Music. It contains 32 pages, half of which are illustrated with the engravings of
President Murlin, Professor McCutchan and Professor Hair, and those who took part in the musical
festivities during the past school year. You should see this book as it is one of the finest Baker has ever
turned out.
During the past six weeks we have had a big run on stationery for the different firms around town. For
the most part the best paper we could buy in Chicago was used which goes to show that as a place for
up-to-date printing Baldwin has few equals in the state.

The Baldwin Ledger, 23 Mar. 1906
The University is the Recipient of $25,000 From the Iron King
FOR THE NEW LIBRARY
For some months past Pres. Murlin has been trying to interest Mr. Carnegie of New York City, in the
needs and future promise of Baker University. He has made three trips east for that purpose.
As a result of his untiring labors and strong presentation of our case, he, last Friday night, received
word from Mr. Carnegie that he would give the college $25,000 to complete the library building, .

36

�provided the college would raise $25,000 in approved securities for endowment. This is a very
generous offer much more so than he has made to any other college, for as a general rule, he offers to
give one fourth as much as is raised by the school itself.
Pres. Murlin has every reason to feel good over this proposition and likewise have the people of
Kansas who are interested in the future of the college. There is no reason why the friends of the school
should not rally to the support of Pres. Murlin in his endeavors to raise the necessary $25.000 to meet
this proposition.
The gift of Mr. Carnegie will be used to complete the handsome library building, and it will now be in a
most satisfactory condition and a great source of pride to the college and its many friends. Judge
Nelson Case, whose personal sacrifice has made the beginning of the library possible, will undoubtedly
be pleased to know that the building will now be completed without stint or drawback of any kind.
Pres Murlin hopes to secure the $25,000 for endowment soon so that the work of completing the library
can go ahead as soon as the season opens.

FOUR NEW DEPOTS

1. The Baldwin Ledger. 2 Mar. 1906
WILL BE BUILT BY SANTA FE IN KANSAS.-- BALDWIN IN THE LIST
F. C. Fox, general superintendent of the Eastern Grand division of the Santa Fe, who has been out on
an inspection trip of the Grand Division with the exception of the Southern Kansas division, returned
yesterday. Mr. Fox reported that the division was in good condition at the present time and that the mild
weather of the winter up to the present time had been especially favorable to the traffic.
Mr. Fox also announced several items-in his 1906 budget that had been approved for this year. The
Eastern Grand division will get about 250 miles of new track in addition to the double track work which
is now being put down in Illinois and Missouri. This appropriation of 250 miles of new track will be
scattered over the entire division. About sixteen miles of the amount will be between Topeka and
Emporia.
There will be about four new depots constructed in Kansas this year. Three of them will be large brick
buildings, ranging in cost from $10,000 to $15,000. The largest of these will be at EI Derado (sic), Kan ..
and will cost $15.000. Two depots similar to each other will be erected at Baldwin and Argentine. They
will cost approximately $10,000. A new freight station will be built at Arkansan City and will cost
$15,000. A frame depot will be built at Talmage, Kan.
Considerable new equipment is being received by the company just now. Old orders not completed last
year are still coming in. About 2,200 boxcars, 500 coal cars and 300·flat cars are still due. Box cars are
being delivered at the rate of about fiftv per day.
Some new passenger equipment is also being received. The company now have seventy coaches and
a large number of other cars being delivered on old orders - Topeka Herald.
While Mayor O. G. Markham was in Topeka last week he was told by Gen. manager Hurley that next
month a landscape gardner (sic) would be sent here to work with the city council on plans for
beautifying the vacant lots east of the depot. Trees will be set out. "Joplin Grit" drives will be prepared,

37

�and arrangements in the grounds for a park about the new depot will be hurried along as fast as .
possible. In a few months Baldwin will have one of the nicest depot grounds in the state.

PRAIRIE CITY SCHOOL - HISTORIC LANDMARK GONE - 1905
The Baldwin Ledger, 20 Jan. 1905
Baldwin abounds with historic places of interest. From our midst the
piercing war whoop of the wary Indian, has long since been dispelled and the
silent. aggressive tread of the pioneer implanted in its stead. Those
fore-fathers of our set their hearts, not upon living solely to themselves,
but upon the development and betterment of mankind. Their efforts were well
repaid, although calling for great courage and sacrifice. They built
churches and school houses and prepared the way for civilization. They knew
what such "land marks of progress" meant. Few of their acts carry greater
significance and recall more events in the early history of our little city
and county, than the founding of "The First College In Kansas" one mile
south west of town, by the Episcopalians in 1856, which is commonly known as
"Prairie City School House." Many recall its early history. A two story,
stone structure, with two rooms, one above and one below. Geo Miller was the
stone mason, H. E. Dodge the carpenter and Captain Credit sawed the lumber
taken from the farm of Major Reynolds. These timbers are 6xlO, 45 feet long.
Uritil recently it was a firm, substantial building but being abandoned
because of better times and conditions it is at last among the "ruins of the
dead." It is being torn down by Mr. Spurgeon and hauled to Baldwin where it
will enter into the structure of a more active place that of becoming the
foundation and walls of the new Paint and Paper shop of Messers. Keohane &amp;
Cradit.
Nearly one-half century, this grim old structure has faced the elements and
responded to the wants of mankind. Long has its founders set their feet on
another shore. Only two years ago it was abandoned for the last time. Could
its walls speak great would be the incidents it would not doubt. relate.
It was completed when Baker laid her first corner stone but was not run even
a short time by the Episcopalians and they turned it over to the Lutherans
who never opened its doors. Since then it has been used for a district
school and church of the neighborhood.
Some of our citizens know its history like a book. On its faded and musty
leaves is told the story of how some poor sinner first caught a glimpse of
his Lord and how wisdom was first implanted in the younger mind. Upon

38

�clippings carefully placed between the leaves of this volume, we glean some
of the agents that were also the "first fruits" of Kansas.
For fifty long years those who constructed this school house have lived in
its immediate neighborhood. Horace Greely once spoke in its halls. Because
of its outlook the town of Prairie City was founded and General James Lane
was its first president and it then became the rival of Palmyra. Under a
nearby elm tree J. F. Prouty started one of the first papers ever published
in Kansas and later established the Capital at Topeka. Credit must be given
to Prairie City for the erection of the first college building in the state
but it was not opened. From the closing of their school because of the lack
of support the city began to wane until today the last prominent land mark
of the neighborhood is being carried away and all that will be left is the
Prairie City Cemetery

On Historic Ground.
It is probably not known to many that the site of the present Masonic Temple, at 1001
Massachusetts, was the scene of Masonic activities long before it was acquired for use as a
Temple building spot. It was formerly owned by the Methodist Church, the records showing
its purchase by that group on November 7, 1863, A meeting place for the Church was erected
here soon thereafter, and on July 4, 1864, the cornerstone was laid by the Most worshipful
Grand Lodge A.F. &amp; A. M of Kansas. Worshipful Brother O. W. McAllaster, Master of
Lawrence Lodge at the time, represented the Most Worshipful Grand Master on this occasion.

A further item of considerable interest will be found in the old minutes of the Lodge under
date of December 27, 1864, which describes the public installation of the officers selected to
serve during 1865. This public ceremony was held in the then new Methodist Church. The
minutes sow the following as having been installed on that date on the very ground where the
Temple now stands:
Paul R. Brooks- Worshipful Master, Joseph Cracklin- Senior Warden, Richard A.
Hayes- Junior Warden, E.W. Wood- Treasurer, E.B. Hayes-Secretary, Robert L.
Gilbert- Senior Deacon, James M. Davis-Junior Deacon, Justus Assmann-Tyler, Solon
O. Thacher-Orator, W.H. Fisher- Chaplain.
The building and grounds owned by the Methodist Church at this spot was transferred to J. B.
Watkins July 5, 1890, and later acquired by the Lawrence Masonic Temple Building Company
in 1909. The Masonic Temple was erected and occupied by the various Masonic bodies in the
year 1911.

�JOHN lEA§11'JER BlUITIL11' JFITR§11' DJENVER 1H[OlU§E
John Easter, the man who built the first house in Denver, is visiting here. He came to attend
the stockman's convention last week and had a jolly time of it, despite his 77 years.
Incidentally, he is here also to visit the Pioneer society, meet those rugged companions of
other days and talk over those halcyon days.
Mr Easter has been living in Goldfield, Colorado for many years. He is justice of the peace
there, owns property and still builds houses for others. He has no immediate relatives, all of
his family having passed over the range, leaving him alone. Everybody in that country knows
him for miles around and they love and venerate him.
"Yes, Roswell Hutchins, who died at Murcur, Utah, October 6, 1902, and myself built the first
house in what is now the magnificent city of Denver. It was a log house. We cut the timber
from a clump of woods which grew where the Union depot is not. This was in the fall fo
1858. I remember that one morning Roswell and myself went to the woods to cut timber for
the house and I killed a big buck deer that ran from anlong the trees. Of cours, we had deer
meat for some time."
"But It me begin at the beginning and tell the events that led up to my coming out here: I was
living in Lawrence, Kansas. They were stirring times then in that neck of the woods. I
organized the Lawrence company and we started for Colorado which was then a part of the
Kansas Territory. I had fourteen wagons-ten ox teams, three horse teams and one mule outfit.
We left Lawrence, May 29, 1858."
"I'm a bit ahead of my story yet. The Delaware tribe ofIndians was at Lawrence then. In
1857 Col. Sumner came West with United States troops. Fall Leaf returned to Lawrence after
the campaign and showed me a lot of gold nuggets which he said he had picked up in
Colorado. I had heard from the California forty-niners who returned to Lawrence that they had
stopped in Colorado and found coloring of gold there. This is what determined me to go
West."
"Well, we started out with our wagons full of grub and stuff. On July 3, 1858, we camped on
the Fountains Queboulle, near what is now Colorado Springs. The next day was the 'Glorious
Fourth', our nation's birthday, so we celebrated it in great style. There were forty-six men and
two women with my party. Among them were A.C. Wright and Frank Cobb, both of whom
are now living in Denver. Jly 5 we broke camp and started towards Fort Garland, moving by
.
slow stages. We heard that gold could be found there."
"Mexicans and Indians traveling between Mexico and Fort Laramie, Wyoming came along by
us and reported a big strike in Gray's gulch, near what is known as Fort Collins. We turned
and made for that place. But when we got to what is now Denver, we stopped. It was a pretty

40

�stretch of rolling prairie, wooded here and there, with vegetation rank and wild as we looked
toward that is now thte Capitol Hill section.

§1['OPPEJD) A 1[' CHERRY CREEK ANID&gt; LAlD OUT A TOWN
"Our camp was about half a mile or more up Cherry Creek from its mouth at the Platte. The
site was near where the county hospital stands now. Some days late we moved up the Platte
River for three or four miles and laid out the town of Montana City. This was in September,
1858. I knew that was not the place for a town and said so, because it was too far from the
government's military road, which crossed Cherry Creek where Blake street is now and ran a
hundred yards towards the mouth at the Platte river. The Fourteenth street viaduct is over the
old road."
"Believing as I did, Hutchins and myself moved down from the Montana City site to a point
immediately across Cherry Creek, on what is Blake street now, and there decided to build our
log cabin. The chances to us were that there ever was a town here it would begin there.
Montana City, founded by the Lawrence company, did not thrive. The proposed town came
down to where we were."
"We finished our house in October. It was not pretentious just a small two-room abode, made
comfortable in a way. There was wild game a-plenty about then. It was common for one of us
to take down our rifle and bage a fine buck whenever we needed fresh meat. Antelope were
varied with venison."
"Having started our town, which was laid out in a fashion between Cherry creek and Platte
river, and what is now known as West Denver, we called in 'Auraria'-land of the gold. New
people came in and the town flourished a-pace, becoming a busy little hamlet before the year
closed. Among the citizens of the town we claimed Kit Carson, who came up from the South
and remained with us until 1860. He was a pretty clever kind of a chap then and made a
reputation later. We did some placer mining in the Platte and Cherry creek, panning out some
gold in a primitive way."
"In December, 1858, the name was changed to St. Charles by Gen. Blake, Charles Lawrence,
'Pink' Stout and Charles Blake, after whom streets in Denver are now called, and McGarr,
better known as 'Jack Jones", was also here. He had a squaw-wife."

CHANGED TOWN'§ NAME ][N HONOR OF GEN. DENVER
"In the spring of 1859 General Denver was appointed governor of Kansas. He shortly after
going into office qppointed a commission of three, on of whom was 'Hickory' Rogers. I do
not recall the other two. We organized that portion of the town east of Cherry creek and called
it Denver, after Gov. Denver. It grew rapidly."

41
I

�"I left here in 1861, going back to Kansas and settling in Leavenworth, where 1 remained until
1872. Then I went to Portland, Oregon. Remaining there until 1876, 1 made the trip to the
Black Hills of South Dakota."
"The Leadville boom came on about then, and 1 went there, remaining until 1884. Thence 1
went to Douglas, Wyoming, about the time the Chicago and Northwestern railroad was opened
to that town. After three years there, 1 went back to the Northwest stopping in Spokane,
Washington. 1 was there when the town was destroyed by fIre. Portland, Vancouver and
Ellenburg were also burned about the same time. This was late in the 80's. 1 returned to
Colorado and settled in GoldfIeld in 1894 and have been there ever since."

"I should be worth $200,000,000, and 1 guess 1 would had 1 remained here and held on to what
real estate 1 possessed in those pioneer days. Why, there was a chap with me-Blood by namewho had sixteen lots. He sold one for practically nothing and then the other fifteen for $14, or
about ninety cents apiece. This property is on Blake street, near fIfteenth now and is worth a
good price, 1 understand. "
Mr. Easter is guest of his old friend, Paul M. North, a local attorney, who has known him for
many years intimately.

Dues for the Douglas County, Kansas, Genealogical Society are due January 1 and are good

Elsie Beauchat Jardon
The Baldwin Ledger, 4 Oct. 1912
Elsie Beauchat was born in Berne, Switzerland, April 13'\ 1829, and departed this life at the
home of her daughter, Mrs. A. D. Butel, near Baldwin City, in the evening of September 26,
1912, as the clock was striking the hour of nine. In the beautiful land ofthe Alps, she spent her
childhood days, and it was here amid the most beautiful picturesque scenery of the world she
grew to womanhood. At the age of twenty-three she came with parents to America and located
in Norfolk, Conn.; it was here she became acquainted with Xavier Jardon and they were united
in marriage November 1st, 1852. Unto this union were born twelve children, three dying in
infancy. The young couple established their new home near Norfolk, where they resided for six
years.

In the early thrilling days when excitement was running high, and the destiny of Kansas was in
the balance as she was struggling for free state hood, with the border ruffians and bushwackers
on all sides, they left their pleasant New England home with their then three children and came
24

�to Kansas November 1st, 1858. They located on the farm three miles southwest of Baldwin City
and in a little log cabin they made their home during those pioneer days.
After Quantrill's band had burned and sacked Lawrence and in their retreat south they passed
through Mr. Jardon's farm. Halting at the little cabin they demanded her, at the point of
revolver, to draw water from a deep well for them and their horses, which she did that hot
August day; being nearly overcome with heat and fatigue when they left, but by her heroic work
their little cabin was spared.
She and her noble husband were ever ready to give their aid for the promotion and good ·of our
State when such help was so much needed.
By their diligence and perseverance their frontier claim bloomed into a well improved farm. It
was here where their six sons and three daughters grew to manhood and womanhood and it was
here her noble husband died November 7'\ 1890. Since his death she has spent much of her time
with her several children but always having a small home to go to whenever she wished. Her life
extending over a period of eighty-three years has been a busy one, full of noble deeds and good
works and after a short illness the Master beckoned her home to meet the many loved ones on
the other shore and rest forever from all cares. She has gone from our midst but in memory
lives. The funeral was held Saturday, Sept. 28'\ at the West Baldwin City Catholic church,
conducted by the Rev. Father DeGeary. The floral tributes were numerous and beautiful and
certainly bespeaks the love and appreciation in which she was held. She was laid to her final rest
in the Catholic cemetery by the side of her husband.
She is survived by nine children, A. M., F. X., M. J., and A. D. Jardon, of this neighborhood,
Alfred Jardon of Colorado; Mrs. A. B. Butel of Overbrook; Mrs. Walter Ford of Oklahoma;
Mrs. A. D. Butel, at whose home she died near Baldwin City, and Edmund Jardon, and one
brother Acmil Beauchat, of Greenwood Co. She leaves thirty-seven grandchildren and five
great-grandchildren and a host of friends to mourn her departure.

PEARSON ANTIQUE CLOCK MAKES OTHER OLD-TIMERS SEEM
MODERN
The Baldwin Ledger, 12 June 1952
A grandfather clock, 208 years old, now occupies a treasured spot on the Old Santa Fe Trail
where it resided in the 1850's and 1860's. It is in the home of Miss Elizabeth and Ed Pearson,
one and one-half miles east of Baldwin on Highway No. 50. [Later to be U.S. 56]
Its eight foot charm of beautifully grained walnut, varnished smoothly, and a face of shining
copper with hand-tooled numerals and decorative designs seems to reflect a vast store of

25

�information about its early days in England, its seven-weeks trips across the Atlantic, its trip by
boat to Westport, its wagon-trail trip into what is now Kansas, its knowledge of Kibbie, the
Quantrill Raid, the Battle of Black Jack, the Civil War. And it seems to reflect some of the
polish it gained among folks of th East as it passed out the hours to admires and friends within a
stones's throw of Independence Hall, Philadelphia, Pa., where [the] Liberty Bell once tolled the
news of complete Independence.
In this old clock's presence, one fails to say, "We have an antique at our house," for this
beautiful creation seems to put all antiques of this mid-west region in an "on-the-other-side-ofthe-tracks" class. It might be compared as a King George II versus a Harry Truman, or a George
Washington to a Dwight Eisenhower, though certainly it is not haughty in its stature of being
over and above the usual run of antiques. It is well seasoned, may we say, with an imposing
store of past experience, yet it might groan excusably when Charley McCarthy is on the air.
But let us look inside. Here is a note in faded ink written when the clock was first beginning to
be recognized as venerable and deserving of tender care in its old age.
"This Grandfather clock was bought by my father, William Pearson, in 1824 at a Vendue Sale
(public auction) in Leeds, or Basough Bridge, England, of Ralph Atkinson, who was 80 years
old. It had belonged to his - Atkinson's - father all his life, making this clock 165 years old this
date, 1909.
Eliza P. Feltwell, Germantown, Pennsylvania."

HALF CENTURY CLUB CONVENES
The Baldwin Ledger, 27 Sep. 1934
12 Couples Present
Good Cheer and lively Interest Shown by Couples Married Over 50 Years
An annual meeting which is of unusual interest in this community is that of The Half Century
Club, the membership being composed ofthose couples who have been married for longer than fifty
years. The second annual event was held Wednesday noon in the choir room of the church
[Baldwin First United Methodist].
A delightful luncheon was served to the twelve couples present. Three couples were unable to
attend.
Following the luncheon, officers were elected for the corning year: Mr. Ruchty, president and Mr.
Saunders, secretary and treasurer. Good fellowship, good cheer, lively interest and content were
characteristic of the guests and why not for have they not accomplished the goal to which all young
couples look, - growing old together - and have they not proved the truth of
"Grow old along with me, dear;

26

�The best of life - the last of life
For which the first was made."
The couple longest married, Mr. and Mrs. D. R. McKinney were wed in 1875 or 59 years ago.
Mrs. McKinney was also the first girl baby born in Palmyra township.
N. F. Payne, S. Bruner and Rev. C. W. Bailey are Civil War veterans.
Following is a list of guests with date of wedding.

The Baldwin Ledger, 5 April 1934
Wednesday morning sorrow came to the home of the Clyde Stewart, when a member of the
family, Boy Stewart, passed away at 3:18 a.m. Boy Stewart was 15 years old at the time of
death. Funeral services were held that afternoon at four o'clock. Boy Stewart will be
remembered as the little white dog that followed in the footsteps of his master for many years.
Despite its age, it would make the daily trips to the postoffice and around to the places of
business as its master would talk over the days events. However, for the past two years Boy was
unable to get out of the house. Boy was buried with honors and in a small steel vault

RECEIVE FINAL PAPERS
The Baldwin Ledger, 10 May 1934
Final citizen papers were granted to three people Monday afternoon at the county court house in
Lawrence. Christian Straub of Overbrook, former German subject was made an American
citizen along with Mary Lee Lieberman Mattern, also of Germany, living in Lawrence, by
order of the court. Anthanasies Vlasios Fotopulos of Greece was Americanized and had his
name changed to Thomas Fulton by order of the same court.

The head of Ottawa University has made the assertion that automobiles have been the cause of dropping
off of the pupils in educational institutions, because the farmers buy buzz wagons, instead of sending
their children to college.

THE TOWN OF WEST BALDWIN
The Baldwin Republican, 9 Aug. 1907
A town which boasts of good business concerns, increased activity in business circles, new projects
being rapidly put forward, combined with good homes and a picturesque beauty which nature has
bestowed upon her people, many of whose names are linked with those of history and a clean moral
atmosphere. This is a combination which is found in West Baldwin. The foundation for the wealth of this
community is found in the wealth of the adjoining country, the soil is fertile and rich and the country
people for a radius of twenty miles have taken advantage of natures abundance and developed a land
which is excelled by none in the middle west. The country people are established and well-to-do with
comfortable homes and modern arrangements they are able to supply a source for the business which is
transacted in West Baldwin. So it is to the surrounding country and the people that we owe the growth of
West Baldwin.
Among the prominent business firms we should mention the grain mill operated by Messrs. Rapp and
Blanchard, men of shrewd business ability and well known integrity. At the present time the mill is doing
a large business, newly equipped with machinery and labor saving devices. They are in a position to
handle the patronage which they well deserve.
Another enterprise which has been a landmark in the history of West Baldwin is the firm of J. C. Bare &amp;
Co., this firm deals in general merchandise and to their credit it may be said that more is due these
people in the encouragement of country trade than any firm in West Baldwin and because of this
encouragement they have brought a greater amount of country trade to the city than any other concern
and with effort and labor they have built up a substantial business which is a credit to the town. A deal
has been recently closed whereby their possessions were transferred to C. A. Barrett &amp; Co. The ad. of J.
C. Bare &amp; Co. will be found in this issue.
The firm of N. Filibert &amp; Co. operating the Farmer's Exchange Mill, with Jules Cregut as manager
has proved a decided success. Mr. Cregut is a hustling business man and popular with all who know him,
with new buildings, new machinery and added facilities along every line this mill handles an immense
business of general grain products and is an industry worthy of any city.
Another business enterprise of West Baldwin which has become a marked success is the grocery
business owned by J. D. Lindemood. Mr. Lindemood has been in business in West Baldwin something
over three years and in that time he has put a new front in his store, widened the rear part and from time
to time enlarged his stock until today this store is one of the best stores in this part of the county. Mr.

28

�Lindemood is a man of rare business ability which combined with an always pleasing manner, has gained
for him an enviable reputation through out the surrounding country.
The Hardware Store of Shore &amp; Son is a modern up-to-date business concern. Mr. Shore carries a
complete line of hardware not excelled in completeness, in the vicinity, he also has a specialty in the line
of buggies and farm implements. Mr. Shore has gained for himself a reputation as a square business
man and well deserves the patronage of the people of this vicinity.
The business operated by the genial Mr. James Lair is another of West Bald{,..,in's leading institutions. Mr.
Lair has established a milk station where th country people have a ready market for all their dairy
products and besides ths Mr. Lair carries a line of De-Laval cream separators in which he does a very
creditable business. Mr. Lair is a shrewd business man combined with a congeniality which marks him as
one of the most popular business men of the town.
An institution has just taken root in the town, in the transfer of Mr. Nabs business to Dr. E. G. L. Harbour.
Dr. Harbour is establishing a veterinary hospital, the only one of its kind in the county, the Dr. has
started in this work with the intention of having a modern building with the best of facilities for treating
diseases of animals. He also has several of the best stallions in the country which he will stand at his
place of business. Dr. Harbour is eminently fitted for this new enterprise, he being a graduate of the
Kansas City Veterinary School and a man since his residence here who have proved himself a very
capable and energetic man. We predict a very marked success for this new venture.
These institutions which have been mentioned here are the leading ones, and now as a parting word we
would say that whenever you are in West Baldwin drop around to their several places and see for
yourself what time has accomplished for the town. You will be surprised at the rapid strides which West
Baldwin has made in a business way.

The Baldwin Republican, 3 May 1907
The late S. B. Rohrbaugh of Ottawa bequeathed to Baker University, one half the real and personal
property, not otherwise bequeathed, to be held in trust forever and known as the L. B. Rohrbaugh
endowment fund. To be donated to the assistance of such indigent students of Baker as shall be
recommended by the president.

resta~rants, etc. He reqUires them ~o keep their ice boxes in a clean sanitary condition. Sidewalk displays
of frUit and vegetables must be 18 Inches or more above the sidewalk. He also, requires them to keep

29

�their pickle and lard barrels. butter. crackers. etc .. covered protecting the same from flies. dust and other
contaminations. The use of preservatives in hamburger. veal loaf or other meat products is absolutely
prohibited under the pure foot law. It has become in Kansas. that the label did not express the contents of
the package. but now it is different. If a syrup can contains 90 per cent of glucose and 10 per cent of
cane sugar. then these proportions of mixture must be expressed. Also. if catsup is made from
pumpkins. apple pulps. turnips and colored and presered-[pressured. or preserved ?J with Benzoate soda
it must be expressed on the label. Whenever artificial or imitation flavors are used. or coloring in either. in
anyway. it must also be expressed on the label. Ice cream must contain 14 per cent of butter fat. Bake
shops must be kept clean and in sanitary condition.
Mr. Kleinhans says he found everyone in Baldwin in favor of the pure food law and trying to live up to it.

----------------- ...-----------------BALDWIN'S PHONE SYSTEM

The Baldwin Republican. 19 July 1907
Under Efficient Management of R. R. Blaine---- Recognized as One of Best In the State.
At the present time Baldwin has one of the best telephone systems in Kansas. in point of service and
equipment it is excelled by none. Much of the credit for this work must be given Mr. Ross Blaine. the
hustling manager. Mr. Blaine took charge of the system five years ago. when it was in its infancy. At that
time there were but 103 phones in operation and a petition was being circulated to have them removed
because of poor service. There were no wires outside the city and not a rural line in operation; longdistance communications were out of the question: the company employed one girl in the office. From
the time Mr. Blaine accepted the management a steady improvement in every line has taken place. until
now the company has a new 500 line switchboard. new distribution racks. commodious and·pleasant
offices and employ four girls in the office. The subscribers now number 535; 200 of these being country
people on the different rural lines.
The company how has good long-distance connections with Ottawa. Lawrence. Kansas City and Topeka
and the subscribers may get their connections and talk through their own phone. Pay stations are also
located at the hotel and college.

During the five years of his management Mr. Blaine has not been
away from his work a week, a very enviable record indeed. nd his
endeavor has been to give the people the best service possible.
a feature which is much appreciated by the

patrons

SANTA FE TRAIL

�The Baldwin Republican. 4 Oct. 1907
Monument to be Dedicated October 11 at 2:30 Locality-

Event of Interest -

Especially to People of This

October 11th has been set as the day on which the Santa Fe trail monument will be formally presented
to the city by the Lawrence and Ottawa chapters of the Daughters of the American Revolution and
appropriate exercises will be held.
Public exercises will be held in the church at 2:30; addresses will be made by Miss Meeker. State
Secretary of the DAR. located at Ottawa and Geo. W. Martin. secretary of the Topeka chapter and
secretary of the State Historical Society. Following the exercises in the church. a procession will be
formed which will move to the site of the monument. the proceSSion to be made up of the general
public and public school children. At the site of the monument. music will be furnished by the public
school children and the formal presentations of the monument to the town of Baldwin will be made after
which the mayor in behalf of the town will make an acceptance speech. This event is to be of unusual
interest to local people in that the historical county action of Palmyra and the Santa Fe Trail are closely
interwoven. The monument is erected on a tongue of land having a connection with the original Trail
itself. This is significant because of the fact that no where else is the old Trail used as a public highway.
The ground upon which the monument rests was presented to Baker University by I. Stickle upon the
condition that it receive proper care. this is another piece of local interest.
It is quite likely that the business men of the town will close their business places from 2:30 until 5. as
this event is one of interest to us locally. let us show our enthusiasm and interest by being present at
their exercises Oct. 11.

SPLENDID REUNION OF PIONEERS
The Baldwin Ledger. 16 Nov. 1906
A Large Gathering of Those Who First came to This County - to be permanent.

The weather man was kind to the aged last Wednesday when the reunion of old settlers was held
in Baldwin. And they came as happy as children in spring time to talk over the days of long ago
- "when you and I were young Tom, just forty years ago."
At 1:30 o'clock almost 100 people sat down to a dinner that would satisfy the most exacting, and
the splendid fellowship of the hour made it a most joyous occasion. Children of the early fathers
and mother, waited on the tables - and some of them are not very young either.
Pres. Murlin declared that as Mayor Markham had been called out of the city, it fell to him as
constable to take charge of the meeting and after a few happy remarks proceeded to call upon the
31

�children of the past generation for reminiscences. John Walton ofVinland. gave some interesting
incidents. He helped to erect the "old castle". W. T. Jones followed. Mr. Jones came here in 1855
and doubtless has lived here longer than anyone else present. As a boy 10 years of age he often
sat in his father's house and listened to the discussions held by his father and John Brown over
the slavery question. He gave a splendid description of the Battle of Black Jack and declared
that the reward ofthat victory belonged to Capt. Shore and his company rather that to John
Brown. (It developed afterward that Mr. Robt. A. Shore who was present was a soldier in the
Battle of Black Jack.) Mr. Jones gave some interesting anecdotes of Jim Lane. Mr. Jones also
helped to build the "Old Castle."
Wm. Gill arrived in Kansas in time to take part in the surrender of Ft. Sanders and to have the
U.S. troops take away his rifle. He served under Col. Eldridge in trying to make this a free state
before the civil war began.
Wm. Pardee. arrived with his father in Kansas City on July 5. 1850. He went over the Santa Fe
trail to New Mexico in 1855 and has made a permanent home in Kansas since 1858. He is proud
that his lot has been cast with the free people of Kansas. C. W. Ingle told some interesting
incidents of Jim Lane's life. A. A. B. Cavaness referred to the sacking of Lawrence. Mr. Dershem
came here in 1859. He described the Ouantrell plan to sack Lawrence. Palmyra. Prairie City and
Paola. He was with the "home guards" who drove Ouantrell west of Baldwin and thus saved this
place from destruction. He had an old musket dated 1790.
Sam Gardner spoke feelingly of the many families who were not here today that had helped to
mould (sic) the character of this community. Mr. Gardner was one of the first pupils in Baker
University. Dike Barricklaw at this point advocated a permanent organization and during this
discussion. Wm. Foster waxed eloquent over the results of the past 50 years in this state. He
declared that it seemed just as reasonable to think of Baldwin 50 years from now with 50.000
inhabitants and Baker with 3.000 students as it was 50 years ago to think that this community
would bring as much to pass as it has. 1. J. Wilkins told of the old Fager wagon shop near the
Santa Fe well. Cass Barricklaw has a drum from the Battle of Black Jack and some guns from
the Ouantrell raid.
The Barricklaw motion for a permanent organization carried unanimously. and a committee
reported the following list of officers for next year; Pres .. Wm. Black; Vice Pres .. A. A. B.
Cavaness; Sec .. Chas. E. Beeks and Treas .. Wm. Gill. The next reunion will be the first
Wednesday in October 1907.
Miss Meeker of Ottawa and Mrs. Clarence Hall of Lawrence representing the chapters of the
Daughters ofthe American Revolution in their respective towns were presented and presented the
matter of marking the Santa Fe trail. It was decided by the gathering to ask their officers to act
with the committee already appointed by the City Council and these chapters of the D.A.R. in
erecting a fitting monument near Baldwin on the trail.
A number of interesting facts developed at this gathering. There were about 20 present who have
lived here 50 years and over. and there were almost 40 present who have lived here 45 years and
32

�more. Mrs. Dave McKinney was the first white child born in this township. She was 50 years old
last Tuesday and she was one of the youngest girls present. Shawnee McKinney was born in
Johnson Co .. March 25, 1852. He was present as he had a most excellent right to be, Where is
there an older native born Kansas?
All hail! to the founders of free Kansas! Who has a better right to enjoy the good cheer and
prosperity of this hour. They builded (sic) well and in their twilight hours they should receive our
choicest attention and kindest thoughts.

MORE ABOUT TABLET
Baldwin Ledger 14 June 1907

THE STUDENT POPULATION
The Baldwin Ledger. Friday September 29. 1905
Some Very Interesting Facts Culled From the College Entrance Blanks - A Healthy Increase
The student population always creates some very interesting statistics. We give below some figures
concerning this year's enrollment that will be enjoyed by all. There are some interesting conclusions to
be drawn from them. We leave you to find them. suffice to say that the increase among new students
has been greater among the girls than the boys which fact may be explained by two reasons: this is
becoming such a materialistic age that the young men rush off to technical schools without taking a
regular college course and also that when times are good and people have plenty of ready money the
girls are sent to college otherwise they are kept at home even when circumstances are strained to
send the boys.

A NEW BAR TO IMMIGRATION
The Baldwin Ledger. 9 June 1905

It is said that the immense increase in immigration in the present year has excited so much alarm in
administration circles that the President will propose that the present $2 head tax on immigrants be
advanced to $25. The chances are that President will urge nothing of the kind. Undoubtedly this year's
imr:nigr~tion.figures willle~ve all former records far behind. In the fiscal year 1903.857.046 immigrants
arrived In thiS country. which was far above any previous total. And though the number fell to 812.870
in 1904. it has gained so much in the past half year that the aggregate for the twelve months ending
June 30. 1905. will be over 900.000. For the calendar year 1905 the total will be over 1.000.000.

34

�These figures are big enough to compel attention. They are frightening some of the immigration
officials and a few members of the administration, especially as more than half of the incomers are
from Austria-Hungary, Russia and Italy, which are the countries that many of our people want to hit. But
if we put the head tax at $25 we also hit England, Ireland, Germany, Norway and Sweden, which are
countries that we are trying to attract immigration from. Of the 650,000 immigrants who landed in this
country during the nine months ended with March of the present fiscal year, 157,000 came from the
British islands, Germany and Norway-Sweden. A tax such as is here proposed would shut out tens of
thousands of those immigrants, as well as the incomers from the less favored countries.
A good remedy for the excessive immigration, if it is excessive, is to enforce with the utmost rigidity the
laws against the incoming of paupers, criminals and those who are physically, mentally or morally
defective. Those restrictions should be imposed robustly, whether the immigration is small or large. It
must be remembered, too, that the immigration, even at the present high-water mark, is,
proportionately to the aggregate population, below that of several periods in the past. Let the laws
against the admission of improper persons be vigorously enforced. Let attempts be made to send a
large proportion of the immigrants to the South, where they are needed, and to the West. where there
are still chances for the industrious, the law-abiding and the intelligent. But let Congress go slow about
making any such advance in the head tax as the jump to $25 which is suggested.

CHURCH INCREASE
1, The Baldwin Ledger, 21 Sep. 1906
The Methodists Hold an Interesting and Profitable Service
Last Sunday was a day of unusual rejoicing to the membership of the M. E. church in this city. The
Sunday previous had witnessed the baptism of thirty-four candidates by the pastor, Dr. I. B. Pulliam an unusual sight - but this Sunday the consummating service of church relationship took place with
fifty-one accessions. The church now enjoys a membership of about 950 and hardly a Sunday passes
without someone joining by certificate or letter. Several years since when the matter of building the
church was under discussion many thought that the people were planning too largely but Sunday
morning witnessed a crowded house and yet not nearly all the membership was there.
At the Sunday School the attendance was 650 and it is a problem to arrange the classes so they will
not disturb one another. This problem will not be settled until the entire basement of the church has
been fitted out for class rooms. Dr. Pulliam is to be congratulated upon the success of the work under
his charge at this place.

BAKER UNIV.
The Baldwin Ledger. 27 Julv 1906

T~ere has been so~e talk of removing the hedge fence about the campus and it is to be hoped that it
Will. be done. In the first place the hedge was placed there in the early days to keep the cattle and stock,
which were all?wed to run free more or less, off the campus. Then it is so badly broken and disfigured
at places that It has ceased to be an ornament. It is also an obstruction to the view of the buildings and

35

�if removed would make the campus look much larger. The Ledger will give $5 to it if done this summer.

The Baldwin Ledger, 27 July 1906
Contract for book stocks in the new library was let last Wednesday. The contract calls for shelving to
the capacity of 48,000 vol. and be ready for use in 80 days. The contract was let to the Art Metal
Construction Co., of St. Louis.

The Baldwin Ledger, 20 July 1906
Centenary hall is being improved this summer by having a stairway built from the northeast recitation
.
room to the chapel and by enlarging the rostrum on the south side.

SOME BIG ORDERS
The Baldwin Ledger, 20 July 1906
That a town is growing and becoming more prosperous, can be proven in no better way than by the
prosperity of its printing office.
This week the Ledger turned out 24,000 picture post cards of the different buildings and scenes around
Baldwin, for Baker University. This is one, if not the largest jobs of its kind that has ever been done in
this part of the country.
We are also printing Vol. 6, NO.4 of the University Bulletin. This number is devoted entirely to the
Conservatory of Music. It contains 32 pages, half of which are illustrated with the engravings of
President Murlin, Professor McCutchan and Professor Hair, and those who took part in the musical
festivities during the past school year. You should see this book as it is one of the finest Baker has ever
turned out.
During the past six weeks we have had a big run on stationery for the different firms around town. For
the most part the best paper we could buy in Chicago was used which goes to show that as a place for
up-to-date printing Baldwin has few equals in the state.

CARNEGIE GIVES TO BAKER
The Baldwin Ledger, 23 Mar. 1906
The University is the Recipient of $25,000 From the Iron King
FOR THE NEW LIBRARY
For some months past Pres. Murlin has been trying to interest Mr. Carnegie of New York City, in the
needs and future promise of Baker University. He has made three trips east for that purpose.
As a result of his untiring labors and strong presentation of our case, he, last Friday night. received
word from Mr. Carnegie that he would give the college $25,000 to complete the library building,

36

�provided the college would raise $25,000 in approved securities for endowment. This is a very
generous offer much more so than he has made to any other college, for as a general rule, he offers to
give one fourth as much as is raised by the school itself.
Pres. Murlin has every reason to feel good over this proposition and likewise have the people of
Kansas who are interested in the future of the college. There is no reason why the friends of the school
should not rally to the support of Pres. Murlin in his endeavors to raise the necessary $25,000 to meet
this proposition.
The gift of Mr. Carnegie will be used to complete the handsome library building, and it will now be in a
most satisfactory condition and a great source of pride to the college and its many friends. Judge
Nelson Case, whose personal sacrifice has made the beginning of the library possible, will undoubtedly
be pleased to know that the building will now be completed without stint or drawback of any kind.
Pres Murlin hopes to secure the $25,000 for endowment soon so that the work of completing the library
can go ahead as soon as the season opens.

FOUR NEW DEPOTS
1. The Baldwin Ledger, 2 Mar. 1906
WILL BE BUILT BY SANTA FE IN KANSAS.-- BALDWIN IN THE LIST
F. C. Fox, general superintendent of the Eastern Grand division of the Santa Fe, who has been out on
an inspection trip of the Grand Division with the exception of the Southern Kansas division, returned
yesterday. Mr. Fox reported that the division was in good condition at the present time and that the mild
weather of the winter up to the present time had been especially favorable to the traffic.
Mr. Fox also announced several items in his 1906 budget. that had been approved for this year. The
Eastern Grand division will get about 250 miles of new track in addition to the double track work which
is now being put down in Illinois and Missouri. This appropriation of 250 miles of new track will be
scattered over the entire division. About sixteen miles of the amount will be between Topeka and
Emporia.
There will be about four new depots constructed in Kansas this year. Three of them will be large brick
buildings, ranging in cost from $10,000 to $15,000. The largest of these will be at EI Derado (sic), Kan.,
and will cost $15,000. Two depots similar to each other will be erected at Baldwin and Argentine. They
will cost approximately $10,000. A new freight station will be built at Arkansan City and will cost,
$15,000. A frame depot will be built at Talmage, Kan.
Considerable new equipment is being received by the company just now. Old orders not completed last
year are still coming in. About 2,200 boxcars, 500 coal cars and 300 flat cars are still due. Box cars are
being delivered at the rate of about fifty per day.
Some new passenger equipment is also being received. The company now have seventy coaches and
a large number of other cars being delivered on old orders
Topeka Herald.
While Mayor O. G. Markham ~as in Topeka last week he was told by Gen. manager Hurley that next
mont~ a. landscape gardner (SIC) would be sent here to work with the city council on plans for
beautifying the vacant lots east of the depot. Trees will be set out. "Joplin Grit" drives will be prepared,

37

�and arrangements in the grounds for a park about the new depot will be hurried along as fast as
possible. In a few months Baldwin will have one of the nicest depot grounds in the state.

PRAIRIE CITY SCHOOL - HISTORIC LANDMARK GONE - 1905
The Baldwin Ledger, 20 Jan. 1905
Baldwin abounds with historic places of interest. From our midst the
piercing war whoop of the Wary Indian, has long since been dispelled and the
silent, aggressive tread of the pioneer implanted in its stead. Those
fore-fathers of our set their hearts, not upon living solely to themselves,
but upon the development and betterment of mankind. Their efforts were well
repaid, although calling for great courage and sacrifice. They built
churches and school houses and prepared the way for civilization. They knew
what such "land marks of progress" meant. Few of their acts carry greater
significance and recall more events in the early history of our little city
and county, than the founding of "The First College In Kansas" one mile
south west of town, by the Episcopalians in 1856, which is commonly known as
"Prairie City School House." Many recall its early history. A two story,
stone structure, with two rooms, one above and one below. Geo Miller was the
stone mason, H. E. Dodge the carpenter and Captain Credit sawed the lumber
taken from the farm of Major Reynolds. These timbers are 6x 10, 45 feet long.
Until recently it was a firm, substantial building but being abandoned
because of better times and conditions it is at last among the "ruins of the
dead." It is being tom down by Mr. Spurgeon and hauled to Baldwin where it
will enter into the structure of a more active place that of becoming the
foundation and walls of the new Paint and Paper shop of Messers. Keohane &amp;
Cradit.
Nearly one-half century, this grim old structure has faced the elements and
responded to the wants of mankind. Long has its founders set their feet on
another shore. Only two years ago it was abandoned for the last time. Could
its walls speak great would be the incidents it would not doubt, relate.
It was completed when Baker laid her first comer stone but was not run even
a short time by the Episcopalians and they turned it over to the Lutherans
who never opened its doors. Since then it has been used for a district
school arid church of the neighborhood.

Some of our citizens know its history like a book. On its faded and musty
leaves is told the story of how some poor sinner first caught a glimpse of
his Lord and how wisdom was first implanted in the younger mind. Upon

38

�clippings carefully placed between the leaves of this volume. we glean some
of the agents that were also the "first fruits" of Kansas.
For fifty long years those who constructed this school house have lived in
its immediate neighborhood. Horace Greely once spoke in its halls. Because
of its outlook the town of Prairie City was founded and General James Lane
was its first president and it then became the rival of Palmyra. Under a
nearby elm tree J. F. Prouty started one of the first papers ever published
in Kansas and later established the Capital at Topeka. Credit must be given
to Prairie City for the erection of the first college building in the state
but it was not opened. From the closing of their school because of the lack
of support the city began to wane until today the last prominent land mark
of the neighborhood is being carried away and all that will be left is the
Prairie City Cemetery

Masonic Temple Building
From: The Centennial History and roster, 24 September, 1855- 24 September 24, 1955

On Historic Ground.
It is probably not known to many that the site of the present Masonic Temple, at 1001

Massachusetts, was the scene of Masonic activities long before it was acquired for use as a
Temple building spot. It was formerly owned by the Methodist Church, the records showing
its purchase by that group on November 7, 1863. A meeting place for the Church was erected
here soon thereafter, and on July 4, 1864, the cornerstone was laid by the Most worshipful
Grand Lodge AF. &amp; AM of Kansas. Worshipful Brother O. W. McAllaster, Master of
Lawrence Lodge at the time, represented the Most Worshipful Grand Master on this occasion.
A further item of considerable interest will be found in the old minutes of the Lodge under
date of December 27, 1864, which describes the public installation of the officers selected to
serve during 1865. This public ceremony was held in the then new Methodist Church. The
minutes sow the following as having been installed on that date on the very ground where the
Temple now stands:
Paul R. Brooks- Worshipful Master, Joseph Cracklin- Senior Warden, Richard A
Hayes- Junior Warden, E.W. Wood- Treasurer, E.B. Hayes-Secretary, Robert L.
Gilbert- Senior Deacon, James M. Davis-Junior Deacon, Justus Assmann-Tyler, Solon
O. Thacher-Orator, W.H. Fisher- Chaplain.
The building and grounds owned by the Methodist Church at this spot was transferred to J. B.
Watkins July 5, 1890, and later acquired by the Lawrence Masonic Temple Building Company
in 1909. The Masonic Temple was erected and occupied by the various Masonic bodies in the
year 1911.

�JOHN EASTER BUILT FIRST DENVER HOUSE
John Easter, the man who built the first house in Denver, is visiting here. He came to attend
the stockman's convention last week and had a jolly time of it, despite his 77 years.
Incidentally, he is here also to visit the Pioneer society, meet those rugged companions of
other days and talk over those halcyon days.
Mr Easter has been living in Goldfield, Colorado for many years. He is justice of the peace
there, owns property and still builds houses for others. He has no immediate relatives, all of
his family having passed over the range, leaving him alone. Everybody in that country knows
him for miles around and they love and venerate him.
"Yes, Roswell Hutchins, who died at Murcur, Utah, October 6, 1902, and myselfbuiIt the first
house in what is now the magnificent city of Denver. It was a log house. We cut the timber
from a clump of woods which grew where the Union depot is not. This was in the fall fo
1858. I remember that one morning Roswell and myself went to the woods to cut timber for
the house and I killed a big buck deer that ran from among the trees. Of cours, we had deer
meat for some time."
"But It me begin at the beginning and tell the events .that led up to my coming out here. I was
living in Lawrence, Kansas. They were stirring times then in that neck of the woods. I
organized the Lawrence company and we started for Colorado which was then a part of the
Kansas Territory. I had fourteen wagons-ten ox teams, three horse teams and one mule outfit.
We left Lawrence, May 29, 1858."
"I'm a bit ahead of my story yet. The Delaware tribe ofIndians was at Lawrence then. In
1857 Col. Sumner came West with United States troops. Fall Leafretumed to Lawrence after
the campaign and showed me a lot of gold nuggets which he said he had picked up in
Colorado. I had heard from the California forty-niners who returned to Lawrence that they had
stopped in Colorado and found coloring of gold there. This is what determined me to go
West."
"Well, we started out with our wagons full of grub and stuff. On July 3, 1858, we camped on
the Fountains Queboulle, near what is now Colorado Springs. The next day was the 'Glorious
Fourth', our nation's birthday, so we celebrated it in great style. There were forty-six men and
two women with my party. Among them were A.C. Wright and Frank Cobb, both of whom
are now living in Denver. Jly 5 we broke camp and started towards Fort Garland, moving by
slow stages. We heard that gold could be found there."
"Mexicans and Indians traveling between Mexico and Fort Laramie, Wyoming came along by
us and reported a big strike in Gray's gulch, near what is known as Fort Collins. We turned
and made for that place. But when we got to what is now Denver, we stopped. It was a pretty

40

�stretch of rolling prairie, wooded here and there, with vegetation rank and wild as we looked
toward that is now the Capitol Hill section.

STOPPED AT CHERRY CREEK AND LAID OUT A TOWN
"Our camp was about half a mile or more up Cherry Creek from its mouth at the Platte. The
site was near where the county hospital stands now. Some days late we moved up the Platte
River for three or four miles and laid out the town of Montana City. This was in September,
1858. I knew that was not the place for a town and said so, because it was too far fromthe
government's military road, which crossed Cherry Creek where Blake street is now and ran a
hundred yards towards the mouth at the Platte river. The Fourteenth street viaduct is over the
old road."
"Believing as I did, Hutchins and myself moved down from the Montana City site to a point
immediately across Cherry Creek, on what is Blake street now, and there decided to build our
log cabin. The chances to us were that there ever was a town here it would begin there.
Montana City, founded by the Lawrence company, did not thrive. The proposed town came
down to where we were."
"We finished our house in October. It was not pretentious just a small two-room abode~ made
comfortable in a way. There was wild game a-plenty about then. It was common for one of us
to take down our rifle and bage a fine buck whenever we needed fresh meat. Antelope were
varied with venison."
"Having started our town, which was laid out in a fashion between Cherry creek and Platte
river, and what is now known as West Denver, we called in 'Auraria' -land of the gold. New
people came in and the town flourished a-pace, becoming a busy little hamlet before the year
closed. Among the citizens of the town we claimed Kit Carson, who came up from the South
and remained with us until 1860. He was a pretty clever kind of a chap then and made a
reputation later. We did some placer mining in the Platte and Cherry creek, panning out some
gold in a primitive way."
"In December, 1858, the name was changed to St. Charles by Gen. Blake, Charles Lawrence,
'Pink' Stout and Charles Blake, after whom streets in Denver are now called, and McGarr,
better known as 'Jack Jones", was also here. He had a squaw wife."

CHANGED TOWN'S NAME IN HONOR OF GEN. DENVER
"In the spring of 1859 General Denver was appointed governor of Kansas. He shortly after
going into office qppointed a commission of three, on of whom was 'Hickory' Rogers. I do
not recall the other two. We organized that portion of the town east of Cherry creek and called
it Denver, after Gov. Denver. It grew rapidly."

41

�"1 left here in 1861, going back to Kansas and settling in Leavenworth, where 1 remained until
1872. Then 1 went to Portland, Oregon. Remaining there until 1876, 1 made the trip to the
Black Hills of South Dakota."
"The Leadville boom came on about then, and 1 went there, remaining until 1884. Thence 1
went to Douglas, Wyoming, about the time the Chicago and Northwestern railroad was opened
to that town. After three years there, 1 went back to the Northwest stopping in Spokane,
Washington. 1 was there when the town was destroyed by fire. Portland, Vancouver and
Ellenburg were also burned about the same time. This was late in the 80's. 1 returned to
Colorado and settled in Goldfield in 1894 and have been there ever since."
"1 should be worth $200,000,000, and 1 guess 1 would had 1 remained here and held on to what
real estate 1 possessed in those pioneer days. Why, there was a chap with me-Blood by namewho had sixteen lots. He sold one for practically nothing and then the other fifteen for $14, or
about ninety cents apiece. This property is on Blake street, near fifteenth now and is worth a
good price, 1 understand. "
Mr. Easter is guest of his old friend, Paul M. North, a local attorney, who has known him for
many years intimately.

Dues for the Douglas County, Kansas, Genealogical Society are due January 1 and are good
through December 31 of that year. 2013 dues can be paid now.

This is not an easy decision for me, as editor, to make, but this will be
my last issue as editor. I simply must have more time to do my own
genealogy and other projects. If anyone is interested in taking over
The Pioneer I will be eternally grateful. There are several members
who will feed you articles but the editor has been the one who has to get
most of the information together. Hopefully someone will volunteer. If
not we will notify everyone that this is the last issue. Mary Burchill,

Truths back 0/ the Uncle Jimmy Myth by Kate Stephens. c. 1924
The University of Kansas in the eighteen-seventies when General Fraser was
Chancellor.
When in the spring of 1861, President Lincoln issues the call for seventy-five
thousand troops, my Father locked the door of his office, enlisted men in
neighboring townships and took to Washington his Company of New York
volunteers. His history, within a few months, was that of many a soldier
afterwards;..--an invalid sent home from a Baltimore hospital.
"Two years to live," the doctors said, and sentenced him to a climate in the
2

�South, and every day on horseback. The stimulating dryness of the plateau
shelving east to the Mississippi, however - and the spirit of a people there-he
found more agreeable to his needs. He bought a couple of hundred acres
touching the city of Lawrence, Kansas, and set on foot their ordering.
The beauty of this farm was great, as I have elsewhere told. Wooded ground
which had never known the plough lay on its· southern border, along a little
amber stream called "brewery brook," and on the north a band, half a mile
long, of primeval forest stretched from highway to river. Nature had planted
the woods after her fashion of making her garden, and in the shade of hickories
and oaks wild geranium and columbine blossomed, and windflowers nodded,
and purple violets carpeted the earth in spring.
A most striking figure of the south woods, a black walnut, stood with the girth
of more than twenty feet-.rising in majesty and aloofness so apart from its
brothers, and their shade, that the sun had rounded its branches to an almost
perfect globe.
A little way off, intersecting this woodland, a ravine ran north and south, and
a sycamore, laid low by some wind, had spanned it. Upon the sycamore's
satiny bark we walked across then river-waters filled the ravine in time ofKaw
flood. An upon this trunk, warm afternoons in spring, I say and studied while
below frogs chorused and water-bugs skated.
Of other symphonies of this farm I have told in my book, "Life at Laurel
Town: In Anglo-Saxon Kansas." And also of Lawrence, its people, their
characteristic spirit, and the beloved institution of their heirship.
The Un~versity of Kansas-its ideals, its liberalisms, its conservatisms, its
personnel-were then in their cotyledonous beginnings. Officers of the
institution visited at our house, and my Father, watching seed-plantings and
germinations often urged the foundation of a School of Law.
A visit of General John Fraser my memory associates with crimson-tinted
sunlight filtering down upon ripe fields, and stamps the day as the. latter part
3

�of August-the year 1872.
General Fraser had, in 1868 become
chancellor-an Aberdeenshire man, bred in Scotland even through his
university studies, a true Scot, nervous, high-strung, temperamental, dour some
days, and perhaps "captious" (captions was a favorite word of his ), more often
the embodiment of amiability and intelligent kindness; at all times as
refreshing and full of vitality as an east wind straight from the sea.
That afternoon the Chancellor was at his best-buoyant with high spirits and
a crackling fire of wit. His gaieties were so bountiful that they fell almost as
commonplaces. Because oflater associations my memory retains one instance
that I may be permitted to cite. He spoke of Scotland-as he did at times, I
think with a shade of longing once more to see its romantic face-and then
added, "God made Scotland." Whereupon I, favored youngster that I was, out
with Dr. Johnson's retort, "If He did, He made it for Scotchmen."
Chancellor Fraser caught up my quotation with a burst of laughter, and, in his
full throaty voice, warm with human feeling, cried, "Pooh, pooh, Dr. Johnson
was laid on a shelf long ago, von Moltke." In one of his sallies he had fixed
the name "von Moltke" on me-after the general of the Franco-German war
known, the Chancellor declared, "for his short and decisive campaigns."
(Ed. Note. This is only a small portion of her book. She was the daughter
of Judge Stephens and an outspoken woman on almost everything.)

A LITTLE BLAZE
The Baldwin Ledger, 4 Jan. 1907
Thursday morning about 7 :30 0' clock the fire bell rang, announcing that a fire
was devouring the residence of Mr. T. B. Shore in West Baldwin. As usual the
fire department made its spectacular run and arrived in time to see that the fIre
had been extinguished. The cause of the fire was an explosion of gas which for
a time seemed to be serious, but by prompt action in turning off the gas the fire
was put out and only slight damage was done by burning some paper and
slightly marring the appearance of the room where the explosion occurred.

�IT IS TIME TO HAVE TIME
The Baldwin Ledger, 29 Nov. 1912
Last Sunday morning the services at the Methodist church was five minutes
past correct time in starting. There seemed to be some confusion on the part of
the officers of the Sunday School and of the church as to what actually was
correct time. The incident was the occasion for the remark by the pastor that
in Baldwin City we have many kinds oftime. Yes we have school time, college
time, Yauslin time, railroad time, postoffice time, church time, Sunday School
time, a good time, and behind time; many people being afflicted with the latter.
In the minds of many people the only way in which this situation can be
remedied is by having in the postoffice a regulator set hourly by the Western
Union Telegraph Co. The charge made by the Telegraph Co. for this service
is $25 per year for each clock. Before it will be possible for us to have this
service, however, it will be necessary for the city to have a wire from the
depot.
The college has already agreed to install two of these clocks in the college
buildings if the wire will be installed by the city. The city already has a line of
poles to t~e depot on which the wire could be hung. It hardly seems that the
city council could do better that to invest a little money in wire and give the
town and college the advantage of standard time.

WHAT A LITTLE TOWN HAS DONE
The Baldwin Ledger, 15 Nov. 1912 [Reprinted from K. C. Times]
This town has done wonders in the past ten years. Ten years ago there was no
fine church, no big gymnasium, and not a single public improvement. We have
passed through fire and much distress, not to say anything about bitter contests
at the polls, but today's Baldwin City can show to the people of Kansas the
greatest advancement and the largest liberality in proportion to the size of the
town of any community in the state, and it is doubtful if there is any equal in
the United States. [Quoted from an earlier issue of The Ledger.]
5

�Civic achievement is a mighty proud boast for a small town, and Baldwin has
"the goods" to prove its right to boast.
Ten years ago the stranger who visited Baldwin immediately set himself to the
task of trying to solve the problems as to why the Methodists of Kansas
selected that town as the location for their big Western school. In the first place
he left the train at a place called Media, and found that in order actually to get
to Baldwin he must either walk a mile over a country road lined on one side
by an unsafe board walk or ride the distance in a lumbering old "bus" that
could only make the trip when the weather was fair and the roads dry. A long
"stretch" of "bottom land" that defined transportation or navigation during the·
winter and spring months practically served communication between Baldwin
and the railroad during the time of the year that anyone cared to visit the town.

ANOTHER FORTY-NINER DEAD
The Baldwin Ledger, 24 Jan. 1913
Baldwin is, in many respects, the "Concord of Kansas." Here was enacted
some of the most stirring events of the West. Many of the few who took an
active part in this winning of the West, still live; while many in the old burying
grounds around B"aldwin City have found their last resting place.
The past week one of these old pioneers,Samuel Gidion, died when nearly 83
years old, at the home of his nephew in Western Kansas, and was brought back
to historical Baldwin City to be buried. "Gid" Mozingo *, as he was commonly
known, came west in 1845 when 15 years of age, and crossed the Missouri
river at Westport Landing with a government wagon train. His sister
homesteaded **east ofBaldwin City near Black Jack, but "Gid" worked for the
government as a blacksmith and crossed the great American desert many times.
As a pony express rider across the wilds of the Kansas territory he had many
thrilling experiences and hair-breadth escapes, and as a government scout
helped fight Indians and other outlaws. He was a man of magnificent physique,
being over six feet tall, and a man who knew no fear. He made a fortune
almost in a day in the gold fields of California as a "forty-niner," and afterward
dug gold in Nevada and in the Yukon.
6

�He was a typical westerner. Few of this day have seen as much western history
in the making as he. Loyal to his friends, generous to a fault, rough and ready,
he summed up the plains-man's virtues and vices.
Only a few people of this day remember him and so when his body was
shipped from the west, but a handful of folks gathered to pay their respects to
the old pioneer and carry him to his last resting place. Rev. Meredith, of the
Presbyterian church, at the request of friends conducted a simple service at the
grave.
Thus have many of the men of another day lingered in our midst almost
strangers to us of another generation, and died without making hardly a ripple
on the flood of modem life. Soon, with the, buffalo, the Indian and prairie
schooner, the last ofthe pioneers will pass over the Great Divide and be known
to us only through the histories of the West.
NOTES: *Baldwin City Oakwood Cemetery records list him as SAMUEL
MOZINGO, main section, row 12, lot 39.
** Probably means established a "homestead" as the Homestead Act of 1862
was not passed until after the land in Douglas Co. was already settled.

LIFE A CENTURY AGO
The Baldwin Ledger 1 February 190 I
(Ed. Note. These are always fun.)
Over one hundred years ago man could take a ride on a steam boat.
He could not go from Washington to New York in a few hours.
He had never seen an electric light nor dreamed of an electric car.
He could not send a telegram.
He couldn't talk through a telephone and he never heard ofthe Hello girl.
He couldn't ride a bicycle.
7

�He could not call in a stenographer or dictate a letter.
He had never received a typewritten communication.
He had never heard of the germ theory or worried over bacilli and
bacteria.
He never looked pleasant before a photographer or had his picture taken.
He never heard a phonograph talk or saw a kintescope tum out a prize
fight.
He never saw through a Webster' s Unabridged Dictionary with the aid of
a Roentgen ray.
He had never taken a ride in an elevator.
He had never imagined such a thing as a type-setting machine or a '
typewriter.
He hadn't used anything but a wood plow.
He had never seen his wife using a sewing machine.
He had never struck a match on his pants or anything else.
He couldn't take an anesthetic and have his leg cut offwithout feeling it.
He had never purchased a ten-cent magazine which would have been
regarded as a miracle of art.
He could not buy a paper for a cent and learn everything that had
happened all over the world the day before.
He had never seen a McCormick reaper or self-binding harvester.
He had never crossed an iron bridge.
There were several things he could not do and several things that he did
not know.
(Ed. Note. I wonder if anyone under 20 would even know what is being
talked about on a lot of these.)

SIX MONTHS OLDER
The Baldwin Republican 24 October 1902.
In last weeks Mail and Breeze an article appeared claiming that Wm.
8
)

�Britton of Alton, was the oldest living resident of Kansas which certainly
is a mistake as palmyra township has a resident, in the person of R.H.
Pearson, of Black Jack, who located his claim, now the Beeks farmju~t
north of Baldwin, May 15th , 1854, while Mr. Brittian [note change of
spelling] according to the Mail and Breeze did not locate until the fall of
that year.
R.H. Pearson was born in Yorkshire, England, April 1st, 1828 and with his
parents, in 1832 emigrated to America, locating at Alleghaney City, PA,
living there until the California gold fever swept over the United States,
when he went to California, where he was in 1853 and early '54, when the
bill was in Congress for the opening of Kansas and Nebraska.
The talk among the California miners at that time was that Nebraska
would be a free state and Kansas a slave state, and the emigration fever
again entered Mr. Pearson's blood, and he left the gold fields for the new
country of Nebraska and Kansas, going by the way of Panama and New
York, and after a short visit with his parents in Pennsylvania came on
west by steam boat to Kansas City, then a small town and only boasting
one small hotel. There he met Joel K. Goodwin, (who was afterwards
killed by Jim Lane) Gayes Jinkins and Henry Barricklow, Jr., who invited
him to join their party and go with them to look for townsites in the new
country, but they desired locating in Kansas in preference to Nebraska,
claiming that Kansas never would be a slave state. The party first went to
St. Joe, from there to Weston, opposite Ft. Leavenworth and then to the
Fort to obtain news in regard to the opening of the new country. They
were told if they located back thirty miles from the State Line the
Government troops would not molest them. Leaving the Fort they
returned to Kansas City where Pearson and Barricklow purchased, .each
a pony, the rest of the party leasing a team and wagon, and early in May
traveled west, leaving civilization behind, but passing many Indians with
herds of ponies, crossing the Kaw river at where Lwrence now stands,
then west to Big Springs, there the party turned back, returning as far as
9

�Mt. Dread, which the party decided was the best townsite location they
had seen, they then turned south, keeping along the Government road
until they came to what is now called Willow Springs, then east to
Hickory point, there they saw a wagon about 200 yards from the road.
Pearson and Barricklow decided on a visit to it and found a woman and
three children, with about half a dozen Kaw Indians standing around
which was causing the woman much uneasiness. She called Pearson to
one side and asked him and his party to remain awhile until her husband
who was away to purchase a cow should return. The party remained
awhile, Barricklow stopped three days and Pearson is still remaining. The
lady told them there were many good claims and that her husband, a Mr.
Kibby would help them make a selection, and by the way this Kibby was
the man who killed a pro-slavery man by the name ofDavis, at Lawrence,
during an election, which is supposed to have been the first death in the
cause which brought on the Civil War. A pro-slavery man was burning
anti-slavery men's cabins and Kibby insisted that he stop, Davis took the
matter up, and began stricking[sic] at Kibby with a knife. Kibby had a
pistol loaded with eight shot, and capped with a cap furnished by Pearson
and as Davis again advanced, shot him, the whole load of buckshot
entering the man's stomach, killing him almost instantly.
Mr. Pearson pre-empted his farm, and the next spring Barricklow
returned, accompanied by Nehemia Green,(who was Lieut. Govemot)
L.F. Green and Dan Johnson and wife who also settled near here.
Mr. Pearson was all through the boarder[sic] warfare, being at the battle
of Black Jack, Blanton's Bridge, Prices Raid at Kansas City, at Lawrence
in 1855, at Bull Creek and East Tauy, besides helping to persuade many
a pro-slavery men that Kansas did not desire to be a slave state, and
received an honorable discharge from the U.S. government. He is now
getting along in years, but is yet very active and energetic, and -owns a
farm of 240 acres on which the battle of Black Jack was fought.
10

�We believe this gives Mr. Pearson the claim to being the oldest living
settler of Kansas, having pre-empted what is now the Beeks farm in
Palmyra township, Douglas County, Kans, May 15th, 1854, and is still a
resident of the same township.

This is from In the Beginning: Centennial History and Roster, Lawrence
Lodge no. 6, AF and AM September 24, 1855 to September 24, 1955.
It is probably not known to many that the site of the present Masonic"
temple, at 1001 Massachusetts, was the scene of Masonic activities long
before it was acquired for use as a Temple building spot. It was formerly
owned by the Methodist Church, the records showing its purchase by that
'group on November, 1863. A meeting place for the church was erected
here soon thereafter, and on July 4, 1864, the cornerstone was laid by the
Most Worshipful Grand Lodge, A.F. &amp; A.M of Kansas. Worshipful
Brother O.W. McAllaster, Master of Lawrence Lodge No.6 at the time,
represented the Most Worshipful Grand Master on this occasion.

A further item of considerable interest will be found in the old minutes of
the Lodge under date of December 27, 1864, which describes the public
installations of the officers selected to serve during 1865. This public
ceremony was held in the then new Methodist church. The minutes show
the following as having been installed on the date on the very ground
where the Temple now stands:
Paul R. Brooks, Worshipful Master, Joseph Cracklin, Senior Warden,
Richard A. Hayes, Junior Warden, E.W. Wood, Treasurer, E.B. Hayes,
Secretary, Robert L. Gilbert, Senior Deacon, James M. Davis, Junior
Deacon, Justus Assmann, Tyler, Solon O. Thacher, Orator, W.H. Fisher,
Chaplain.
The building and grounds owned by the Methodist Church at the spot
Were transferred to J.B Watkins on July 5, 1890, and later acquired by the
11

�La~ence Masonic Temple Building Company in 1909. The Masonic

Temple was erected and occupied by the various Masonic bodies in the
year 1911.
(Ed. Note The Temple has since been sold and the Masons m~ved to
another location. The Temple is presently a nightclub.)

Lawrence Journal World 30 July 1923.
Met sudden death in road accident
Frank V. Miller instantly killed on Fort to Fort Highway.
Stutz car was upset.
Was nephew of Mrs. J.B. Watkins and Director of Bank.
Frank V. Miller of2117 Massachusetts, nephew ofMrs. J.B. Watkins and
a director in the Watkins· National Bank, was instantly killed early
yesterday morning in a motor car accident on the fort to fort road in
Shawnee County. With Maurice T. Benedict and Mrs. Earl Newcomer of
Kansas City he was on the way to Topeka" when the Harry C. Stutz car
in which they were driving got out of control, skidded and rolled
completely over. Miller's skull was crushed when the car turned over.
An approaching car with brilliant headlights is said to have blinded the
driver, causing him to get off the road while attempting to drive as near
the edge of the concrete pavement as possible.
Maurice T. Benedict, insurance agent was driver of the car and Mrs. Earl
T . Newcomer, whose husband is associated with D. W. Newcomer's sons,
Kansas City, was a passenger. Benedict was uninjured. Mrs. Newcomer's
12

�collar bone was broken. The injury was dressed at the Simmons hospital
after she was brought back to town and she left on an early train for
Kansas City, where she was taken to St. Joseph hospital. Her condition
is not serious it was said today.
Miller, Benedict and Mrs. Newcomer had been attending a farewell party
given for Dick Williams, assistant cashier of the Watkins Bank, who had
resigned to take a position with the Newcomer ftrm in Kansas City. After
dancing at the Sigma Nu house until about 11 :30 members of the party
decided to go to Topeka for a ride and an early breakfast. The Harry C.
Stutz car was the last of 4 cars which carried the party to Topeka.
After the accident Mrs. Newcomer went to a farmhouse about 50 yards
distant and called the Cremeric restaurant in Topeka, where she knew the
party was going. Her call reached there at 20 minutes to 1, her husband
Earl T. Newcomer, said today.
Earl T. Newcomer was graduated from the School of Engineering at the
University in 1915. His wife was Miss Gertrude Spect, a Kansas City girl.
Mrs. Frank Miller was in Topeka when the news of the tragedy reached
the remainder of the party, A.B. Mitchell and Dick Williams got a
physician and hurried to the scene of the accident.
Dr. H.L Clark, Shawnee County Coroner, was called to the scene. He said
an inquest would be held Tuesday. Miller's body was bought to Lawrence
and Mrs. Newcomer and Benedict were brought home by other members
of the party.
Those who were in the party were: Mr. And Mrs. Newcomer, Kansas
City; Mr. and Mrs. C.F. Alexander, Kansas City; Gordon Saunders,
Kansas City; Miss Margaret Graye, Lake Charles, Louisiana-half sister to
Mr. Miller; Maurice T. Benedict, Lawrence; Mr. and Mrs. Miller; Mr. and
13

�Mrs. Dick Williams; W. T. Dinkins, Kansas City; and Miss Agnes DeMar
Gossard of New York City-sister of Mrs. Dick Williams.
Dr. H.L Clark, Shawnee County Coroner, told a Journal World reporter
today that he had not yet fixed the hour at which the inquest would be
held tomorrow. He also told of some of the conditions he had observed
while at the scene of the accident.
"The dirt shoulder was flush with the concrete at the place where the Stutz
first left the road on the right hand side, and it was hard dirt," said Dr.
Clark.
"It appeared that the car had got a little off the road and that an attempt to
get it back caused it to cross over to the left side of the road at a sharp
angle. Then another effort to right the car caused the rear wheels to swing
out into the ditch on the left side."

"The car slid sidewise for a considerable distance until the rear wheels
struck a small pile of stones in the ditch. Then it was overturned and
rolled completely over fmally standing upright on the wheels."
"The place where the car stopped was sixty feet from the place where it
went off the left side of the road, and 175 feet from where the wheels first
ran out on the shoulder on the right hand side of the concrete."
"I was called about 20'clock. From what 1 had been able to learn, the
accident happened a little before 10' clock."
"The accident happened only a short distance from the farm home of
Michael Werner, from which Mrs. Newcomer telephoned to Topeka."
"Werner heard the smash and heard a woman scream. He rose and
dressed and went out to help as quickly as possible. He found the car
standing upright and Millers body in its place in the car. All of the
14

�occupants of the car remained in their seats when the car turned over."
"From all I was able to observe, it was apparent that the car must have
been going fast when the accident occurred."
"When the rear wheels of the car went into the ditch, the understructure
of the car dragged on the shoulder at the edge of the road until the car
overturned. The car was damaged only slightly and was. driven back to
Lawrence by Bennie Carman. The car is the property of Frank Benedict,
brother of Maurice.
Frank Miller had spent his early life in Lake Charles, Louisiana, but had
come to Lawrence in about 1912 to attend the University and act as
secretary to his uncle, J.B. Watkins. He attended th University for 3 years
and left in 1917 to join the army. He served as 2nd Lieutenant of infantry
overseas.. He was a member of Phi Gamma Delta fraternity. Miller was
believed to have been sole heir to the estate of Mrs. J.B. Watkins,.which
is estimated at nearly 2 million dollars. He married Miss Louise Monday
. ofLake Charles, Louisiana, a year and four months ago. He was 27 years
old.
The death of Frank Miller comes as a particular loss to scores of his
personal friends about Lawrence. "Lugs" Miller was quiet and
unassuming in his manner and a pleasant companion. In recent years he
has assumed increasing business responsibilities in a creditable manner.
Mrs. J.B. Watkins, who was spending the summer in Bay View,
Michigan, left for Lawrence on receipt of word of the death of Mr. Miller
and is expected to arrive late tonight or early tomorrow morning. Mr.
Miller's mother, Mrs. J.A. Graye, his half-sister and Mrs. Miller's parents
are on the way to Lawrence from Lake Charles.
No arrangements will be made for the funeral services until after the
relative have arrived.

�THE LOGO of the Douglas County Genealogy Society
In the fall of 1982, after hearing many suggestions that
the society needed a logo; Jean Snedeger and I sat in Perkins
Restaurant discussing some of the things we thought should
make up a suitable logo. One thought was a outline of Douglas
County with footprints across it. Another idea was the county
with a covered wagon in the middle. These and other ideas
after some time evolved into the present Logo which is the
cover from own magazine "The Pioneer" enlarged and cleaned up
or simplified.
At this time I was substitute editor of 'The Pioneer" (Judy
Sweets the elected editor had went away to the east with her
family) and I could see that I did not have the time, patience
.or skill to fmish the Logo and present it to the society, so
I called Cynthia Schott, a member of the society, who worked
on enlarging and lettering for the emblem.
John Banta then saw the unfmished work in my home and asked
if he could work on it. He spent many hours cleaning up the
logo, rearranging the letters, adding the dates and putting
the whole thing in an acceptable form to present to the Board
and to the membership. The Logo was voted on at the general
meeting and accepted by the society. Later John had a rubber stamp
made by Stanley Harris and presented it to the society.
Sept. 6, 1983, about a year after the beginning of the logo Jean Snedeger
took the hand colored emblem to Francis Sporting Goods to have patches
made.

MARGARET ROBBINS QUAYLE
The Baldwin Ledger, 20 Feb. 1914
"There like an Eden blossoming in gladness
Bloom the fair flowers the earth too rudely"
Bessie Robbins we called her in those days not long ago. She had been born in Arizona
where her father was Surveyor General for the State, but he ended his labors when she was
a mere child and was brought to this historic town for Burial.
Her mother then remained here and the little child learned to play at the knee of her
grandfather, Dr.. Werter R. Davis, first president of Baker University, who was then pastor
of the Methodist church in this city.

A few years passed and William A. Quayle came into her life to be a real father. When he .
became pastor of a large church in Kansas City she budded into young womanhood and made
many friends. Here it was that a street car accident inflicted a wound that never healed. An
every-day accident, you say, and yet it made a heroine of her life.
For thirteen long years she has endured pain and suffered untold agony. Twenty-one
distinct times has she placed her life in the hands of surgeons. But every time she would rally
and smile into the face of the world. When Dr. Quayle was called to Chicago, she forgot
her pain at times in her joy in studying art. She made many art sketches for the great

Marshall Field store until she had not the physical strength to meet their demands.
Most any of us can face death once when we think it is our only hope to live, but who of us
could do so for two score times and some of those times when we looked down into the
shadow without our friends knowing it, in order not to cause them anxiety.
The radium treatment at Baltimore was finally sought but even this would not avail and yet
with a brave face she turned her look westward to be with friends. In her last hours she
counted her mercies, her many joys and sweet companionships and did all she could to
comfort her mother in the trying hour.
From the Chicago hospital, where she closed her eyes last Monday, she was brought to her
father's cottage just recently erected for their vacation comfort. Flowers from many cities
and from many friends perfumed the room where the family, many times scattered, spent a
short hour with her. There was a sweet hymn and sweeter words, a prayer, a hush and a sob,
but she who had braved it all smiled on.
We have many heroes in our cemetery, men who have faced terrific battle and men who

17

�have faced many crises. But a hero in peace is no less a hero than a hero in time of war or
great public catastrophe. Her grandfather was a hero in war and she was a heroine in peace.
A rare flower crushed with drooping leaves but the fragrance will remain with us forever.
We stand with uncovered head but with admiration in our eyes for the iron in the soul of a
girl whose bravery is not surpassed. God took her, but her example remains as a sweet
heritage to all who knew her

STAND BY OLD TRAIL
The Baldwin Ledger, 3 Apr. 1914

D.A.R. Address Calls for History of the Trail, and for Good Roads.
Mrs. T. A. Cordry, of Parsons, historian of the D.A.R., gave the following address at a recent
session at Ottawa which covers points of vita! interest to all people in this community. The
address follows:
During the summer and fall, I re~eived many requests for information regarding the Old Santa
Fe Trail in Kansas and the way the Daughters marked it, from D.A.R's, and club women all
over the United States. I finally made 15 typewritten copies, and they are gone. No one sent
postage, and only one acknowledged my help with a thank you letter, and that was a lady in
Brooklyn.
I was particularly interested in the stand taken by Judge J.B. Lowe, president of the Old Trails
movement, that the old trail should not be given up for the Golden Belt route. I wrote to hi~,
and his reply I prize very highly. He said in part, "In an age of criticism, it is like a refreshing
shower in a season of drought, to receive such a commendatory letter as yours." I also wrote to
Senator Bristow and Senator Thompson asking them to use their influence against the
Shackelford bill in Congress, which place all of the National road money in the hands of the
governor to place as he pleases. Replies from both were pleasing.
Before Christmas, when so much was being published on the proposed high school relay on the
Old Santa Fe Trail, I had a friend figure on what it would cost to publish my story of the parking
of the Santa Fe Trail in pamphlet form. Sickness stopped my work for awhile. Then I argued, if
we should publish it, let it be in a handsome book form that we, -as Daughters of the American
Revolution, can be proud of. With the consent of our State Regent, I got prices. This I will give
to the Conference under the head of new business. The past two months I have carefully gone
over my story, to see that it was absolutely correct.
I have answered calls for the history of the Sons of the Revolution. Gave the tribute to the
Mount Vernon Ladies Association and the D.A.R. at the Daughters Memorial service the 22ndof
February in Parsons. Have added several biographies to my history. Have received two valuable

18

�papers, one from Mrs. T. E. Chandler of Ottawa on "The Old Indian Burying Ground," and the
other from Mrs. R. R. Bittman of Independence on her research work in connection with the
place where there was a massacre in 1863 on Rebel Creek in Montgomery county.
I urge the Daughters to gather local history, especially from the old settlers who are so fast
passing away. Have a file book and keep your findings, and have a scrap book and put the
obituaries of these old timers. And another thing, make friends with these old people who have
stories of history in their head we can never fmd in a book. Ihave made a State Historical's
Scrap Book, with clippings that I found with Miss Meeker's secretary's books and those sent me
from time to time by the chapters. Oneihing I wish that you would do - please put the date on
your clipping, as "last Saturday" is not very defmite time to me. Our genealogist wishes the
story of our Revolutionary ancestors, as what little we put on our application papers is not much.
Ifwe have family traditions and stories about that ancestor, write it out. Then if you will send.
this to me, I will put it in proper form to send the Historian general or the genealogist. May I ask
this for your work this coming year?
Kansas Daughters have had on their rolls seven real Daughters, four are dead, one in Lawrence,
one in Kansas City, Mo., one in Topeka and one in Lebo. Another real Daughter but not a
member of our society, is buried in Atchison. It would be a proper thing to properly mark these
graves.

Hey Bear sold
The Baldwin Ledger, 12 Aug. 1932
The cilWatnOn bear, which Will Hey captured last April in Minnesota
and has had at his home since, was sold to a Kansas City restauraI).t last
week for advertising purposes. A man at the restaurant will give
wrestling demonstrations with the bear in front of the establishment to
attract crowds.
The bear had become quite a favorite with the children in the north part
of town, although it had not become thoroughly tamed.

TAKES THE OLD NAME
The Baldwin Ledger, 27 Sep. 1912

19

�Baldwin City Postoffice is Given Its Former Name
_. Same as the Town - To Save Much Confusion.
Beginning next Tuesday, Oct. 1, the name of the postoffice at this place will be Baldwin City.
Ever since the organization of this town in 1855, the legal and corporate name of the town has
been Baldwin City. From the beginning, and for some years the postoffice had the same name.
Under a former administration, and for reasons not now apparent, the name of the postoffice
was changed to Baldwin. As the years have passed this has led to much legal confusion. The city
council has been compelled to re-publish city ordinances because they had the name of the town
described as Baldwin instead of Baldwin City. Deeds have had to be re-written. You cannot give
a deed for a town lot in Baldwin, Kansas, for there is no such town in Kansas. Look at your tax
receipt or your deed to your cemetery lot and you will fmd that all property is vested in the name
of Baldwin City.
But this has not been the only difficulty. There are 19 towns in the United States having the
name Baldwin. Their postoffices have the same name. The postoffice at this place is the only
one of the 19 that is a second class office. Of the remaining 18 two are small third-class offices
and the remainder are fourth class offices - conducted in connection with a country store and
hence not given first consideration as at this place.
The result of this is that much mail is missent and therefore delayed. One Baldwin City
merchant told us the other day that he had a valuable package go to Baldwin, KY., and remain
there for some days and it was with great difficulty that he was able to locate it.
On the other hand, this office being the most prominent of its name in the United States, is
constantly getting mail destined to other states. Postal clerks read the name Baldwin and take it
for granted that it comes to Kansas. Our mail is now so large that postal clerks running out of
Chicago and St. Louis and Denver make up sacks direct for this place. This is probably not the
case with any of the other 18 offices having, the same name. There is hardly a day passes and
never a week that mail intended for other offices having the same name does not come to this
office.
Some months since the attention of the Postoffice Department was called to this condition of
things and it was suggested that probably the best way to remedy matters was to make the
postoffice the same name as the town as it had formerly been. Following the usual routine, the
Postoffice Department has ordered the old name restored and this order goes into effect next
Tuesday. It is hoped that this will eliminate any legal confusion in the future and also make less
frequent missent mail.
NOTE FROM RICHARD (Richard Wellman who sends me all this Baldwin information.
Thanks, Richard)
According to Post Office official records, the name. "Baldwin City" was in effect from May 22,
20

�1862 until April 14, 1887. The shortened name "Baldwin" was in used from April 14, 1887 until
Aug. 16, 1912. The actual date of transition in 1912 is even disputed. Since 1912, the Post
Office and city name has been officially listed as Baldwin City. However, how many times has
there been reference in conversation to our town of Baldwin?
Do a "Google search" for Baldwin City and everything looks familiar, even down to the Maple
Leaf Festival. Not quite so with a search only for Baldwin.

DEATH OF W. H . SWEET
The news of the death of Dr. Wm. H. Sweet, Jan. 5th, at Centralia,
Wash., comes as a sad message to many in Baldwin. While not known
personally to a great number here at the present time, he will be recalled
as a former president of Baker University, and one greatly beloved by
all who knew him.
W. H. Sweet was given the degree of A. B. by Ohio Wesleyan in 1872,
and A. M. in 1875. From 1872 - 1877 he was professor of mathematics
in Baker University and became her president in 1879 and his
administration was continued until 1886, when he was succeeded by Dr.
H. A. Goblin. He then served Kansas Wesleyan University as professor
of Psychology and Ethics and later as field secretary, after which he
held various pastorates in Kansas and was a member of General
Conference, 1892 to 1896. He retired in 1915 from active service in the
ch~ch having served faithfully for nearly a half century.
J
.
!

Many things might be recalled relating to the presidency of Dr. Sweet
and his connection with the town and school in those early days.
Centenary Hall was built as the result of his untiring efforts. Science
Hall being the only college building on the campus, and too much
21

�cannot be said of his undaunted zeal in the matter of fmancing the
school and of inducing young people to attend Baker university. When
he became president in 1879 there were 102 students enrolled and when
he retired in 1886, the enrollment had reached 426, the increase being
largely due to his personal efforts. At that time there were few trees, and
fewer improvements. Pres. Sweet, with his own hands, planted many of
the trees in and around the campus; was interested in the growth of the
. town and built the house now owned by Mrs. J. H. Cundiff, which he
occupied while he was president of Baker University. Our institution
owes much to this man, to whose life and efforts we pause to pay
tribute.

SOME mSTORY OF THE MASONIC LODGE OF BALDWIN
The Baldwin Ledger, 16 Oct. 1891

FIRE FIRE FIRE
On last Monday night at about 11 o'clock Dan Briggs was riding down Main street when he
discovered the building owned by the Mason's and occupied by A. Leake &amp; Son with a harness
shop to be on fire. He immediately gave the alarm and soon the streets were thronged with
excited citizens and students. The fire company arrived before the fire had gotten wider good
headway and by untiring work succeeded in extinguishing the flames before the building had
entirely burned down. The building is so badly damaged however that it will be tom down
probably to make room for a new one. The cause of the fire is unknown but is supposed to have
caught from a match or cigar stub thrown down by someone, the G.A.R.'s having met in the hall
above that evening. The insurance on the building was $600 while Mr. Leake only had $400 on
his stock, but as most of the goods were saved his loss will be entirely covered. The building
adjoining the one burned and occupied by R. W~ Bailey with a shoe shop was tom down in order
to save the rest of the block. The next day our citizens made up money and gave him to partly
compensate the loss he had sustained.

FROM THE MAYOR
In behalf of the citizens and property owners of Baldwin we desire to extend to the young men
of the city and the students of the university our thanks for their activity and eI,lergy in
extinguishing the fire on last Monday evening. The success in saving the property and stopping
the fire was largely due to their bravery and energy and as citizens we feel under grant
obligations to them for their kindness. James Murray, Mayor.

�NOTES:
The wind favored us.
Bob Bailey lost his awl.
That little engine is the stuff.
Several students were out after ten.
Prof. Wood was among the hardest workers.
Henry Humbert did a good business after the fire.
The Masonic goat had his tail scorched,.
R. W. Bailey has his shop in the Boyd room next to the book store.
Dan Briggs received slight injuries while helping carry out the stock.
Bet. Johnson and Davie Todd were fIrst to get out the fire engine.
A. Leake &amp; Son will occupy the Pittman &amp; Thompson building.
"The whole block will go some of these days" could be heard on every hand.
Otsie Leake is a brave fireman and no mistake. He took big chances and did excellent work.
The building would have burned in short order but for the way it is built and the hard oak
material used in it.
The town well is not nearly large enough in case of a big fire. As it was the well was exhausted
before the fire was put out.
The Masons have not decided where they will build but it will probably be on the same lot or on
the Sullivan comer next to Schnebly's:

George Y. Johnson, LH. Van Hoesen, George Leis, A.B. Warren, G.W.
24

�Hume, and S. Steinberg, to me personally known, who subscribed the
foregoing instrument, and severally duly acknowledged the execution of
the same.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto subscribed by name, and affixed
my official seal, on the day and year last above written.
J.A. Bliss, Notary Public
I, James Smith, Secretary of State, of the the State of Kansas, do hereby
certify that the foregoing is a true and correct copy of the original
instrument of writing filed to my office, November 29, 1879. In
testimony whereof I have hereunto subscribed y name and affixed my
official seal. Done at Topeka the 1st day of December, A.D. 1879.
James Smith, Secretary of State
A meeting of the directors will be called as soon as possible, when
officers for the ensuing year will be elected.
In speaking of the fair Mr. Gould in his recent visit said: "This is the
central point for all the thriving young cities of eastern Kansas,
Leavenworth, Atchison, Topeka, 'Ottawa and others. It is accessible by
rail for every section of this western county. Bismarck is the point of
advantage, and the idea is a sound one. The fair ought to be more than
State, it should be national in character. Kansas City, too, the business
and railroad center of this country, would probably lend a hand, as
Bismarck is almost within her suburbs."
The project starts offwith a book, and it is difficult to conceive how
anything but success can attend it. If our own people are only united,
and all work together, there is little doubt but we shall have plenty of
outside help.

�OLD FOLKS DAY
The Baldwin Ledger, 8 Nov. 1912
The Epworth League Entertains 130 guests - 11 over 80 Years of Age
Last Saturday, the Epworth League gave their annual dinner and entertainment to the old people
of the community. The number of guests entertained this year was one hundred thirty, besides
about thirty of the young people. This was the largest number ever entertained by the Epworth
League.
This has been an annual event since 1907 when the Fiftieth anniversary of the First Methodist
class in Baldwin City was celebrated. The event grows in its interest every year and is a custom
which is quite distinct from anything which is practiced in other places.
Of the one hundred thirty guests oflast Saturday, eleven were over 80 years of age. Mr. Seth
Sampson was the oldest, being 87. The others of this class were Dr. Osborn, Mr. Benedict,
Mr. Green, Mrs. Lovejoy, Mrs. Eberhart, Mrs. Todd, Mrs. Overton, Mr. Lampman, Mrs.
Graham, and Mrs. Tomilinson. The last named celebrated her 80th birthday on this occasion.
Mr. W. T. Jones had lived the longest in Baldwin City having come here in 1854. Mrs.
Burroughs had lived here fifty-five years and was a member of the first Methodist class in
Baldwin City.
Sixteen of the company had lived in Baldwin City for more that twenty-five years and eleven
were the children of preachers. Dr. S. S. Murphy preached at the eleven o'clock hour. At noon a
fine chicken dinner was served in the dining rooms of the church by the Epworth League. The
dining room was decorated with autumn leaves and colors. Eac~ of the company wore his name
on a paper which was in the shape of an Epworth League badge.
At the dinner table, the following persons responded to the toasts proposed by Dr. Kester: Mr.
Millikin on "The Happiest Event of My Life After Twenty-one Years of Age;" Seth Sampson on
his "Experience at His first Campmeeting;" Mrs. Tomlonson on "The great inventions and
improvements which she had observed during her life;" Dr. Osborn on "An old Maid's
Paradise."
To the toast, "Then and Now in church affiliations," Mrs. C. P. Ives responded to "then" and
Mrs. Dillheimer to "now." Mrs. Lovejoy told of "The happiest experience of my life." These
talks were all quite interesting and inspiring. Mrs. Dillheimer, who has but recently come to
Baldwin City and enjoyed this occasion for the first time, is the daughter of a Bishop; was the
wife of a minister and missionary to Africa, and is the mother of Mrs. Wright of this city whose
husband is a brother of the Wrights of aeronautic fame.
After rising from the table, there was an old fashioned·class meeting under the leadership of Mr.
Lampman. This was very interesting to the old people.

�The entertainment this year had been carefully planned by Prof. Ebright and Parker Kittennan,
the third vice-president of the League and was the most successful since the observation of the
[event ?] has been begun.
Below is the poem which was read by Dr. Osborn:
With bowing head and trembling knee
Once more we come, old friends to greet;
To look around the room and see
If there is something good to eat.
Tho' wither'd hand and frosted head,
Tho' falt'ring step and feeble trod,
Our hearts are warm, our blood is read
Our appetites are very good
Since last we met the call has come
For some dear loving one to go,
And leave a vacant chair at home,
With all affections here below.
And ere another year shall pass,
The fmal summons from on high
May claim one or more of this class
Will it be you? Will it be I?
Prolong'd has been our span of life,
Our work for good or bad is done.
We can't recall the bub'ling strife,
Nor retrace paths that we have gone
0, that each one might clearly see,
In the change that soon must come,
The passport to eternity A happier and blissful home.
Now this we want to say in truth;
The Epworth League, good and clever A noble band of earnest youth ---May it live and thrive forever

THE CITY ELECTION
The Baldwin Ledger, 5 April 1889
To say that the voters of Baldwin were taken completely by surprise in
the result of the election Monday is to put it very mildly. It was an
27

�overwhelming defeat of the masculine power Yorktown fmale.
.

a Waterloo, with a

The dissatisfaction expressed at the ticket was manifested early in the
morning and a disposition shown by many voters to ignore it entirely
and make the fight squarely as between it and the "woman's ticket."
This movement gained ground rapidly and by noon it was manifest that
the movement was not only becoming very popular but that it would
carry everything before it and the broad grin of satisfaction worn all day
by the managers of the affair showed how popular the new move had
become.
The following is a list of the officers-elected:
Mayor, Mrs. J. M. Sullivan, members of the council, Mrs. Cornelia
Kidder, Mrs. H. S. Stewart, Mrs. W. D. Martin, Mrs. W. A. Hyde and
Mrs. Lillian Scott. Police Judge, E. H. Topping.
A larger vote was cast than at any former election, the whole number
being 220, of which about 100 were ladies.
We are glad to see this manifestation of interest on the part of the ladies
in the city government and congratulate them on the success of their
ticket and have no doubt but they will give us an able and prosperous
. administration.
Miss Maud Leonard and Miss Julia Colburn were clerks at the election
Monday and the prompt manner in which they discharged their duties
and the neat and correct poll books attest their proficiency and fitness
for the position.

Our Old Crank Once More
Editor Ledger: It has been a right smart spell since I bothered you,
28

�I

Mister Editor, and I had about concluded that I wouldn't pester you
with any more of my fault fmding, but if you won't feel too hard against
an old fellow that does not have a great deal of fun in this world, I
would like to take a little of your valuable space this week. I would like
to say a few words if you will allow about the city election that took
some people's breath away. Now, Mister Editor, I ain't going to express
any opinions about women's suffrage. That is a matter of private
opinion that every man (or woman) has a perfect right to think as they
please about. I might not agree with you on this matter, but then you
know I am just an old fashioned crank and nobody cares a straw what I
think. But what I wanted to say was this. If a majority of the people
want the women to run the city affairs, they ought to do it and I am dead
certain there will be just as good a government in the future as we have
had in the past. It is perfectly lawful for women to be mayors and
councils if they want to be and the people are willing. No one with good
sense would object to a woman singing bass if she could. It seems to me
that it is a simple question of capability and in the present case no one
has raised any such objections. But gracious alive, how mad some folks
are!. I heard one man say he was going to sell out and leave, because he
wouldn't live in a town that would do such a thing. Well, Mr. Editor, I
heard a boy on the street the other day yell. "Let'er go Gallager." I
expect that is slang but its plain English. It does seem to me that some
of the men in this town who call themselves lords of creation are pretty
small lords. It does seem to me that when they talk about "petticoat
government" they are talking awful silly. Maybe it is because they are
used to that kind of government at home that they object to it in city
affairs. Anyhow we've got the women and what are we going-to do
about it. I believe that some where in the Bible it says "Grin and bear
it." I don't know whether that is in the Bible or not but its about what
some of our good friends will have to do. So no more at present from
your friend. Old Crank.

�REBECCA VanMETRE CARPENTER
The Baldwin Ledger, 20 Feb. 1914
Rebecca VanMatre, daughter of Amosa and Elizabeth VanMatre, was born May 11, 1834, in
Green County, Illinois, and died at her home in Baldwin City, Feb. 11, 1914. She was united in
marriage to James E. Carpenter, January 14, 1853. To this union were born nine children, five of
whom remain to mourn the departure from this life, of a faithful mother; Charles, James and Joh
Carpenter, and Mrs. Florence Sprague and Mrs. Ella Beal. The family came to Kansas in the
summer of 1854 and have continuously made their home near Baldwin City. Mrs. Carpenter
became identified, in early life, with the United Brethren church and for many years held her
membership at Black Jack. She was a firm believer in God, His goodness, purity and love,
that in living right that religion pure and undefiled is to help some one in need, to make the
pathway of life brighter and smoother for less fortunate ones. This principle she put in evidence
not only in word but in a long heroic life of noble deeds. Coming to the territory of Kansas in
1854, she endured the hardships and helped solve the problems of those early days. There were
only two buildings in Palmyra at the time and without modem conveniences of travel and
communication, every pound of provisions and supply must be obtained from Kansas City.
Owing to this fact, Mr. Carpenter later "freighted" by schooner and ox team from that place to
the one store then beginning business in Palmyra, Mrs. Carpenter remaining at home with the
little ones. The home was located on the farm south of town where Mr. Frank Lobingier now
lives. The Santa Fe Trail and an old Indian path were the only public highways, the later
crossing the Carpenter homestead. On one of his trips to Kansas City, Mr. Carpenter narrowly
escaped the rebel soldiers, being compelled to leave his wagon and team, returning home on
foot. Mr. Carpenter volunteered as a regular soldier in the trying times of the border trouble, and
for three long years this noble woman bore the entire responsibilities of a family of small
children and that in a war-ridded territory. Mrs. &lt;;arpenter was well acquainted with John

Brown, he having often visited in her home. In fact, she nursed his wounded son-in-law,
applying the simple remedies to an ugly wound. It was a common thing for her to come to the
store laboriously carrying a little child and a large bucket of eggs or other produce.
In 1877 Mr. Carpenter died, and now, with a family of seven children she must fight life~s
battles alone. By cheer and hard work she has fought and won. With limited means she reared
the children, keeping them comfortably dressed and well fed and has given to each the
invaluable gift of a good education. This has been accomplished by the invincible resources of
her own life and an unfaltering trust in God. It is remarkable that she has thus lived and wrought
without incurring debt and without the need of charitable assistance. A family of honorable men
and women live to perpetuate her life and memory. Mrs. Carpenter was a doer of the word, as
well as a hearer. None knew more perfectly the joy ----(line missing?) -- drouth or pestilence has
she gone about in the community gathering food and supplies for suffering families. None knew
better the truth of Jesus words, "It is better to give than to receive." She delighted to charm away
pain and anxiety by a pleasant neighborly visit and when she was gone we were sure we had
been in the presence of one "who walked with God."
She lived on the old farm from 1854 till 1902, when she came to her home in Baldwin City
30

�where she died. With all the adversities and strenuous life she lived to be nearly 80 years old.
Having done well her part to make the vicinity of Baldwin City what it is we have in her life a
heritage invaluable that will not fade away. Ira Beamer conducted the funeral service. A prayer
was offered in the home and sermon in the West Baldwin church. Interment in the west side
cemetery.
Mother has left us. With a fortitude that has graced none more fair, she took leave of life
without a fear. Through weeks of silent suffering she looked calmly into the future and did not
falter; with a heroism born of her supreme faith in Jesus, she approached the end, thrilling with
her latest breath the note of exultation - as one who knocks at the gates of eternal morning
Shrouded in her robes unmaculate, (sic) asleep beneath a wreath of flowers that fain would have
kissed her eyelids to awakening, we laid her to rest beneath the pines. "We paused and breathed
a prayer above the sod, And left her to her rest in God." The sympathy of a host of friends is
extended to the bereaved ones

From The Daily Tribune, Lawrence, Thursday, 28 March 1877.
DEATH AND FUNERAL OF A GOOD PIONEER LADY
The whole community have heard with feelings of sorrow of the death
of Mrs. Elizabeth P. French, who expired on the evening of March 27th ,
1877 of cancer.
Mrs. French was the only daughter of Mr. Franklin Haskell, one o'rthe
pioneer settlers of 1854, coming to Lawrence, we believe, with the
"Second Party" of New England Immigrants, and the sister of John G
and Dudley C. Haskell, the latter our present member of Congress.
Miss Haskell, the subject of this sketch, remained behind the family in
New England, and came to Kansas in March, 1857. She was born at
Weathersfield, Vermont, on the 23 rd of April, 1836, and was therefore
almost forty-one years old.
The family were among the most respected and useful of the early
pioneers. The father was a devoted Free State man, a just and upright
citizen and a true Christian, his influence and example doing much to
mould the character of the infant settlement at Lawrence. The mother,
31

�whose death preceded that of the daughter but a few months, was truly a
pioneer mother to all who needed the good offices of a charitable,
intelligent Christian woman.
Miss Haskell was married to Mr. Charles D. French, at Springfield,
Massachusetts on the 25 th day of February, 1865, where the mother and
daughter were visiting relatives during that year. After marriage, they
removed to Leavenworth, residing there two years, and then coming to a
home on the well known Haskell homestead, adjQining Lawrence.
This excellent lady united with the Congregational church in her New
England home when a young girl, and has lived the life of a true
Christian woman. For several years she beloriged to the choir of the
Plymouth Congregational Church, the first organized church in
Lawrence. She was one of the pioneer teachers in the free schools of
Lawrence, taking charge of a school, more as a matter of duty' in the
days when good teachers were wanted, than from pecuniary motives,
and those who received the rudiments of an education in the Old
Unitarian church on the hillside will long remember the amiable,
kindhearted teacher, whose devotion to her duties laid deep the
foundation of usefulness and virtue. Perhaps at that period, there could
have been no person selected for such duties who was her superior in
every respect, as added to her innate goodness of heart, she had all the
elements of a studious character and a fmished education, having been
well educated in the best institutions of learning in New England. In all
the positions of neighbor, daughter sister and wife she fulfilled well her
part~ and goes to rest with the pure in heart, who have the promise of the
Everlasting Blessing, reversed, respected, and beloved as only the good
daughter, sister, wife and friend can be. Among those who knew her,
the tear will come unbidden at the news of the death of one whose life
has been so blameless and so useful.
The last sad rites were performed at the residence of her bereaved
32

�husband this afternoon, at which Rev. Mr. Spring, her last pastor, and
Rev. Dr. Cordley, so long the pastor of her church, gave the last
ministrations to the memory of a beloved sister. A large concourse of
sympathising friends attended the funeral, the following pall-bearers
officiating: Messrs. L. Bullene, H.W. Baker, Albert Allen, G.
Grosvenor, O.A. Hanscomb, and S.A. Riggs. All that remains of the
good woman were laid in a pleasant lot, beside the venerated father,
mother and brother, but a few steps from the door of the pioneer cabin
where she and they had so long been known for their kind hospitality in
the "times that tried men's souls," to sleep the last sleep of the good and
the just.
"There shall the yew her sable branches spread,
And mournful cypress rear her fringed head;
From thence shall thyme and myrtle send perfume,
Ans laurel evergroen o'ershade the tomb."
The deceased was a long suffering in the insidious disease which
resulted in death, being cancer of the breast. Nearly two years ago, she
underwent a surgical operation and for a time believed that the cure was
permanent.
Mrs. French leaves behind her a husband universally respected, and
three little children-a daughter and two sons- one of them an infant,
too young to have any appreciation the loss of a mother, to them the
whole community gives their sympathy for the irreparable loss.

The University Women's Club est. 1900
Scholarships for KU women since 1915
In 1915, the University Women's Club at the University of Kansas
began an annual scholarship donation project among the mebership to
honor meritorious women students. The club was then known as the
Ladies of the F acuity, having been formed in May of 1900.

It was organized to help women take advantage of the educational,
cultural and social heritage of KU. We have met continuously since
1900 for friendship and to be of service to the University.
Since 1915, more than 280 outstanding women have been awarded a
35

�UWC scholarship. We are the oldest scholarship-granting org~ization
at KU. In April 2005, the 90th year recipients shared in the pleasure of
knowing our history will be at Sesquicentennial Point in meaningful
ways.
The history of Lawrence and its university speaks of dedication to
worthy goals for town and gown alike. We believe our award recipients
have been ambassadors on campus and for Lawrence itself, past and
present.

1921
Lawrence Memorial Hospital
Lawrence Memorial Hospital was an idea that grew from a righteous
cause. In the early 1900s, as story was told about a doctor who had
been called to attend an old African American man who had fallen in a
fit on the sidewalk near the Eldridge Hotel. At the time, Lawrence was
served by three small private hospitals owned by physicians, but none
of them had a charity bed available. The doctor tried to find someone
who might know the man, but to no avail, before the man died.
There was no publicly owned hospital in Lawrence, where needy poor
could be taken for treatment in care. In 1919, the Social Service League
bought a frame house at 3rd and Maine Sts., and through a trust
agreement gave it to the city for a hospital. An appeal was made' for
funds to repair and equip the building. About $10,000 was raised.
Lawrence Memorial Hospital opened for business January 17, 1921.
During the 1920s, the community increasingly depended upon LMH
and the facilities became inadequate. Elizabeth Miller Watkins offered
to give $200,000 to build a new hospital, and in 1929, a new brick
36

�building with 50 beds opened, becoming the pride of the community.
Additions funded by Mrs. Watkins and federal programs expanded the
hospital and added capacity over the years. In 2004, Lawrence
Memorial Hospital serves Lawrence and surrounding communities,
including practices in Eudora, Baldwin City and Tonganoxie. The
hospital was named with a Kansas Excellence Award -for Quality in
2003.
Today, LMH is a not-for-profit, city-owned hospital, which serves
members of the community, regardless of an individual's ability to pay.
LMH invests all excess revenues into services, equipment and facilities
to further its mission to improve the health of the community.
While buildings and equipment are necessary to the provision of quality
medical care, it is the vision and foresight of good people like Mrs.
Watkins and others who built the community foundation on which,
LMH has grown. Their commitment serves today as an inspiration for
the future.

1925
Lawrence Flower Club
"A shared interest in flowers and gardening drew together a group of
people in February of 1925 for the purpose of forming a club which
would provide mutual pleasure and instruction, and a vehicle for
making Lawrence a city of flowers." Thus begins the History of the
Lawrence Flower Club, 1925-1975, written by Mrs. Olie R. (Vivian)
Parsons. Sixty-one people, men and women signed the club charter.
The club joined the Kansas Associated Garden Clubs in 1929.
37

�Eighty years later, that same purpose drives the membership of the
current Lawrence Flower Club, still composed of men and women. The
fITst yearbook, started in 1927, was four pages long. Yearbooks now list
officers, members, programs and speakers. Business is kept short and
to-the-point. Meetings are held in a public building, so that the size of
the meeting place does not dictate membership numbers.
Civic projects have always been high on the list of priorities for the
Lawrence Flower Club. In the 1925-1975 history, Mrs. Parsons tells of
the Manley Memorial Rock Garden and Pool in Central Park (now
Watson Park), dedicated in May 1934. The pool was later filled in at
the request of the city when it became too much of an attraction to
children. Plantings were also done in the parks, at the hospital, at some
churches, one of the fITe stations, the county convalescent home and
others. In 1938, members made 1,300 bouquets for decorating soldiers'
graves.
In 1997, a plan to renovate the dysfunctional "Teddy Roosevelt"
fountain on the east side of South Park came from the Countryside
Garden Club. At a city sponsored planning meeting, the suggestion to
move the fountain close to the gazebo in South Park came from a
Lawrence Flower Club member.
A dedication ceremony on June 20, 2001, saw the fountain, with water
flowing, located in the center of the beautiful flower beds. A flyer,
written by a Lawrence Flower Club member, gives the history of the
fountain and is available through the Lawrence Parks and Recreation
Department.
In April 2001, the will of the late Marvin Selichnow, a Lawrence
businessman, included a substantial bequest to the Lawrence Flower
Club, honoring his wife, Alberta, a former member. This gift has
enabled the club to give $2,000 toward a grant to enlarge the Sensory
38

�Gardens at the Audio Reader site near the University of Kansas campus.
Prairie Acres Garden Club and the Lawrence Flower Club collaborated
on a grant from the National Garden Clubs, Inc., for this project. And
now we are able to sponsor a footstone for the pathway at
Sesquicentennial Point. We are grateful t~ Mr. Selichnow for his
generosity! Our members are proud of the history of the Lawrence
Flower Club, one of the oldest garden clubs in Kansas. Other garden
clubs in Lawrence are Prairie Acres, Green Thumb, Meadowlark,
Designer's Guild and Countryside.

·1950
Charles and Tensie Oldfather
The Oldfathers met at the University of Nebraska and were married in
1942. They came to Lawrence in 1950, where Charley became a
professor of law at the University of Kansas. and Tensie raised a family
of five boys and two girls. For the next half century, the Oldfathers
became significant Lawrence citizens. Although they had a large
family, they regularly opened their doors to troubled teens. For more
than 20 years, they provided temporary housing for teenagers in
emergency situations through the Volunteers in Court program. Tensie
volunteered for many things in the community, including 4H and PTA.
Through the years, Charley too became well-known in the community,
appearing in community theater productions, films and a host of civic
activities.
The benevolent personalities ofTensie and Charley enriched the lives
of many in Lawrence. They both gave generously of their spirits and _
. their resources to improve the lives of others and to create lasting
39

�legacies for Lawrence and its citizens. Through their years in
Lawrence, they supported the Red Cross, the Bert Nash Community
Mental Health Center, Inc., Head Start, The Villages, the Lawrence
Community Theater, the University of Kansas, Haskell Indian Nations
University, Kansas Public Radio and many others.
When Tensie received a significant inheritance in the 1970s, their
philanthropic nature was only increased with quiet humility. As one
result, however, Charley was able to quit his job as law professor and
take up acting, a natural gift. This also allowed him to become involved
in many civic activities during the day, including serving on the school
board, chairing the State Advisory Council on Aging, and helping
restore Liberty Hall in the 1980s.
After Charley died in 1996, Tensie continued the couple's commitment
to Lawrence, steadfastly following her belief that sharing one's
resources is the best way to both give and to receive. In 2000, Tensie
gave $4 million to establish the Douglas County Community
Foundation, which, in only five years, grew to assets of over $7 million,
returning more that $1 million in grants to community nonprofits that
promote education, health care, development, the environment and the
arts. The quality of life for the citizens of Lawrence and the Oldfather's
charitable legacy helped assure Lawrence's future.
Tensie Oldfather died October 2,2007 .

Truths back of the Uncle Jimmy Myth by Kate Stephens. c. 1924
The University of Kansas in the eighteen-seventies when General Fraser was
Chancellor.
When in the spring of 1861, President Lincoln issues the call for seventy-five
thousand troops, my Father locked the door of his office, enlisted men in
neighboring townships and took to Washington his Company of New York
volunteers. His history, within a few months, was that of many a soldier
afterwards;.--an invalid sent home from a Baltimore hospital.
"Two years to live," the doctors said, and sentenced him to a climate in the
2

�South, and every day on horseback. The stimulating dryness of the plateau
shelving east to the Mississippi, however - and the spirit of a people there-he
found more agreeable to his needs. He bought a couple of hundred acres
touching the city of Lawrence, Kansas, and set on foot their ordering.
The beauty of this farm was great, as I have elsewhere told. Wooded ground
which had never known the plough lay on its southern border, along a little
amber stream called "brewery brook," and on the north a band, half a mile
long, of primeval forest stretched from highway to river. Nature had planted
the woods after her fashion of making her garden, and in the shade of hickories
and oaks wild geranium and columbine blossomed, and windflowers nodded,
and purple violets carpeted the earth in spring.
A most striking figure of the south woods, a black walnut, stood with the girth
of more than twenty feet-rising in majesty and aloofness so apart from its
brothers, and their shade, that the sun had rounded its branches to an almost
perfect globe.
A little way off, intersecting this woodland, a ravine ran north and south, and
a sycamore, laid low by some wind, had spanned it. Upon the sycamore's
satiny bark we walked across then river-waters filled the ravine in time ofKaw
flood. An upon this trunk, warm afternoons in spring, I say and studied while
below frogs chorused and water-bugs skated.
Of other symphonies of this· farm I have told in my book, "Life at Laurel
Town: In Anglo-Saxon Kansas." And also of Lawrence, its people, their
characteristic spirit, and the beloved institution of their heirship.
The University of Kansas-its ideals, its liberalisms, its conservatisms, its
personnel-were then in their cotyledonous beginnings. Officers of the
institution visited at our house, and my Father, watching seed-plantings and
germinations often urged the foundation of a School of Law.
A visit of General John Fraser my memory associates with crimson-tinted
sunlight filtering down upon ripe fields, and stamps the day as the, latter part
3

�of August-the year 1872.
General Fraser had, in 1868 become
chancellor-an Aberdeenshire man, bred in Scotland even through his
university studies, a true Scot, nervous, high-strung, temperamental, dour some
days, and perhaps "captious" (captions was a favorite word of his ), more often
the embodiment of amiability and intelligent kindness; at all times as
refreshing and full of vitality as an east wind straight from the sea.
That afternoon the Chancellor was at his best-buoyant with high spirits and
a crackling fire of wit. Ris gaieties were so bountiful that they fell almost as
commonplaces. Because oflater associations my memory retains one instance
that I may be permitted to cite. He spoke of Scotland-as he did at times, I
think with a shade of longing once more to see its romantic face-and then
added, "God made Scotland." Whereupon I, favored youngster that I was, out
with Dr. Johnson's retort, "lfRe did, He made it for Scotchmen."
Chancellor Fraser caught up my quotation with a burst of laughter, and, in his
full throaty voice, warm with human feeling, cried, "Pooh, pooh, Dr. Johnson
was laid on a shelf long ago, von Moltke." In one of his sallies he haq fixed
the name "von Moltke" on me-after the general of the Franco-German war
known, the Chancellor declared, "for his short and decisive campaigns."
(Ed. Note. This is only a small portion of her book. She was the daughter
of Judge Stephens and an outspoken woman on almost everything.)

A LITTLE BLAZE
The Baldwin Ledger, 4 Jan. 1907
Thursday morning about 7:30 o'clock the fire bell rang, announcing that a fire
was devouring the residence of Mr. T. B. Shore in West Baldwin. As usual the
fire department made its spectacular run and arrived in time to see that the fire
had been extinguished. The cause of the fire was an explosion of gas which for
a time seemed to be serious, but by prompt action in turning off the gas the fire
was put out and only slight damage was done by burning some paper and
slightly marring the appearance of the room where the explosion occurred.

�IT IS TIME TO HAVE TIME
The Baldwin Ledger, 29 Nov. 1912
Last Sunday morning the services at the Methodist church was five minutes
past correct time in starting. There seemed to be some confusion on the part of
the officers of the Sunday School and of the church as to what actually was
correct time. The incident was the occasion for the remark by the pastor that
in Baldwin City we have many kinds of time. Yes we have school time, college
time, Yauslin time, railroad time, postoffice time, church time, Sunday School
time, a good time, and behind time; many people being afflicted with the latter.
In the 'minds of many people the only way in which this situation can be
remedied is by having in the postoffice a regulator set hourly by the Western
Union Telegraph Co. The charge made by the Telegraph Co. for this service
is $25 per year for each clock. Before it will be possible for us to have this
service, however, it will be necessary for the city to have a wire from the
depot.
The college has already agreed to install two of these clocks in the college
buildings if the wire will be installed by the city. The city already has a line of
poles to the depot on which the wire could be hung. It hardly seems that the
city council could do better that to invest a little money in wire and give the
town and college the advantage of standard time.

WHAT A LITTLE TOWN HAS DONE
The Baldwin Ledger, 15 Nov. 1912 [Reprinted from K. C. Times]
This town has done wonders in the past ten years. Ten years ago there was no
fine church, no big gymnasium, and not a single public improvement. We have
passed through fire and much distress, not to say anything about bitter contests
at the polls, but today's Baldwin City can show to the people of Kansas the
greatest advancement and the largest liberality in proportion to the size of the
town of any community in the state, and it is doubtful if there is any equal in
the United States. [Quoted from an earlier issue of The Ledger.]
5

�Civic achievement is a mighty proud boast for a small town, and Baldwin has
"the goods" to prove its right to boast.
Ten years ago the stranger who visited Baldwin immediately set himself to the
task of trying to solve the problems as to why the Methodists of Kansas
selected that town as the location for their big Western school. In the first place
he left the train at a place called Media, and found that in order actually to get
to Baldwin he must either walk a mile over a country road lined on one side
by an unsafe board walk or ride the distance in a lumbering old "bus" that
could only make the trip when the weather was fair and the roads dry. A long
"stretch" of "bottom land" that defined transportation or navigation during the
winter and spring months practically served communication between Baldwin
and the railroad during the time of the year that anyone cared to visit the town.

ANOTHER FORTY-NINER DEAD
The Baldwin Ledger, 24 Jan. 1913
Baldwin is, in many respects, the "Concord of Kansas." Here was enacted
some of the most stirring events of the West. Many of the few who took an
active part in this winning of the West, still live; while many in the old burying
grounds around Baldwin City have found their last resting place.
The past week one of these old pioneers,'Samuel Gidion, died when nearly 83
years old, at the home of his nephew in Western Kansas, and was brought back
to historical Baldwin City to be buried. "Gid" Mozingo *,as he was commonly
known, came west in 1845 when 15 years of age, and crossed the Missouri
river at Westport Landing with a government wagon train. His sister
homesteaded **east of Baldwin City near Black Jack, but "Gid" worked for the
government as a blacksmith and crossed the great American desert many times.
As a pony express rider across the wilds of the Kansas territory he had many
thrilling experiences and hair-breadth escapes, and as a government scout
helped fight Indians and other outlaws. He was a man ofmagnificent physique,
being over six feet tall, and a man who knew no fear. He made a fortune
almost in a day in the gold fields of California as a "forty-niner," and afterward
dug gold in Nevada and in the Yukon.
6

�He was a typical westerner. Few of this day have seen as much western history
in the making as he. Loyal to his friends, generous to a fault, rough and ready,
he summed up the plains-man's virtues and vices.
Only a few people of this day remember him and so when his body was
shipped from the west, but a handful of folks gathered to pay their respects to
the old pioneer and carry him to his last resting place. Rev. Meredith, of the
Presbyterian church, at the request offriends conducted a simple service at the
grave.
Thus have many of the men of another day lingered in our midst almost
strangers to us of another generation, and died without making hardly a ripple
on the flood of modern life. Soon, with the buffalo, the Indian and prairie
schooner, the last ofthe pioneers will pass over the Great Divide and be known
to us only through the histories of the West.
NOTES: *Baldwin City Oakwood Cemetery records list him as SAMUEL
MOZINGO, main section, row 12, lot 39.
** Probably means established a "homestead" as the Homestead Act of 1862
was not passed until after the land in Douglas Co. was already settled ..'

LIFE A CENTURY AGO
The Baldwin Ledger 1 February 1901
(Ed. Note. These are always fun.)
Over one hundred years ago man could take a ride on a steam boat.
He could not go from Washington to New York in a few hours.
He had never seen an electric light nor dreamed of an electric car.
He could not send a telegram.
He couldn't talk through a telephone and he never heard ofthe Hello' girl.
He couldn't ride a bicycle.
7

�He could not call in a stenographer or dictate a letter.
He had never received a typewritten communication.
He had never heard of the germ theory or worried over bacilli and
bacteria.
He never looked pleasant before a photographer or had his picture taken.
He never heard a phonograph talk or saw a kintescope tum out a prize
fight.
'
He never saw through a Webster's Unabridged Dictionary with the aid of
a Roentgen ray.
He had never taken a ride in an elevator.
He had never imagined such a thing as a type-setting machine or a
typewriter.
He hadn't used anything but a wood plow.
He had never seen his wife using a sewing machine.
He had never struck a match on his pants or anything else.
He couldn't take an anesthetic and have his leg cut offwithout feeling it.
He had never purchased a ten-cent magazine which would have been
'
regarded as a miracle of art.
He could not buy a paper for a cent and learn everything that had
happened all over the world the day before.
He had never seen a McCormick reaper or self-binding harvester. :
He had never crossed an iron bridge.
There were several things he could not do and several things that he did
not know.
(Ed. Note. I wonder if anyone under 20 would even know what is being
talked about on a lot of these.)

SIX MONTHS OLDER
The Baldwin Republican 24 October 1902.
In last weeks Mail and Breeze an article appeared claiming that Wm.
8

�v

Britton of Alton, was the oldest living resident of Kansas which certainly
is a mistake as palmyra township has a resident, in the person of R.H.
Pearson, of Black Jack, who located his claim, now the Beeks farmjus,t
north of Baldwin, May 15th , 1854, while Mr. Brittian [note change of
spelling] according to the Mail and Breeze did not locate until the fall of
that year.
.
R.H. Pearson was born in Yorkshire, England, April 1st, 1828 and with his
parents, in 1832 emigrated to America, locating at Alleghaney City, P A,
living there until the California gold fever swept over the United States,
when he went to California, where he was in 1853 and early' 54, when the
bill was in Congress for the opening of Kansas and Nebraska.
The talk among the California miners at that time was that Nebraska
would be a free state and Kansas a slave state, ~d the emigration fever
again entered Mr. Pearson's blood, and he left the gold fields for the new
country of Nebraska and Kansas, going by the way of Panama and New
York, and after a short visit with his parents in Pennsylvania came on
west by steam boat to Kansas City, then a small town and only boasting
one small hotel. There he met Joel K. Goodwin, (who was afterwards
killed by Jim Lane) Gayes Jinkins and Henry Barricklow, Jr., who invited
him to join their party and go with them to look for townsites in the new
country, but they desired locating in Kansas in preference to Nebraska,
claiming that Kansas never would be a slave state. The party first went to
St. Joe, from there to Weston, opposite Ft.'Leavenworth and then to the
Fort to obtain news in regard to the opening of the new country. They
were told if they located back thirty miles from the State Line the
Government troops would not molest them. Leaving the Fort they
returned to Kansas City where Pearson and Barricklow purchased, each
a pony, the rest of the party leasing a team and wagon, and early in May
traveled west, leaving civilization behind, but passing many Indians with
herds of ponies, crossing the Kaw river at where Lwrence now stands,
then west to Big Springs, there the party turned back, returning as far as
9

�Mt. Ore ad, which the party decided was the best townsite location they
had seen, they then turned south, keeping along the Government road
until they came to what is now called Willow Springs, then east to
Hickory point, there they saw a wagon about 200 yards from the road.
Pearson and Barricklow decided on a visit to it and found a woman and
three children, with about half a dozen Kaw Indians standing around
which was causing the woman much uneasiness. She called Pearson to
one side and asked him and his party to remain awhile until her husband
who was away to purchase a cow should return. The party remained
awhile, Barricklow stopped three days and Pearson is still remaining. The
lady told them there were many good claims and that her husband, a Mr.
Kibby would help them make a selection, and by the way this Kibby was
the man who killed a pro-slavery man by the name of Davis, at Lawrence,
during an election, which is supposed to have been the first death in the
cause which brought on the Civil War. A pro-slavery man was burning
anti-slavery men's cabins and Kibby insisted that he stop, Davis took the
matter up, and began stricking[ sic] at Kibby with a knife. Kibby had a
pistol loaded with eight shot, and capped with a cap furnished by Pearson
and as Davis again advanced, shot him, the whole load of buckshot
entering the man's stomach, killing him almost instantly.
Mr. Pearson pre-empted his farm, and the next spring Barricklow
returned, accompanied by Nehemia Green,(who was Lieut. Governot)
L.F. Green and Dan Johnson and wife who also settled near here.
Mr. Pearson was all through the boarder[ sic] warfare, being at the battle
of Black Jack, Blanton's Bridge, Prices Raid at Kansas City, at Lawrence
in 1855, at Bull Creek and East Tauy, besides helping to persuade many
a pro-slavery men that Kansas did not desire to be a slave state, and
received an honorable discharge from the U.S. government. He is now
getting along in years, but is yet very active and energetic, and owns a
farm of240 acres on which the battle of Black Jack was fought.
10

�We believe this gives Mr. Pearson the claim to being the oldest living
settler of Kansas, having pre-empted what is now the Beeks farm in
Palmyra township, Douglas County, Kans, May 15th , 1854, and is still a
resident of the same township.

This is from In the Beginning: Centennial History and Roster, Lawrence
Lodge no. 6, AF and AM September 24, 1855 to September 24, 1955.
It is probably not known to many that the site of the present Masonic'
temple, at 1001 Massachusetts, was the scene of Masonic activities long
before it was acquired for use as a Temple building spot. It was formerly
owned by the Methodist Church, the records showing its purchase by that
'group on November, 1863. A meeting place for the church was erected
here soon thereafter, and on July 4, 1864, the cornerstone was laid by the
Most Worshipful Grand Lodge, A.F. &amp; A.M of Kansas. Worshipful
~rother O.W. McAllaster, Master of Lawrence Lodge No.6 at the time,
represented the Most Worshipful Grand Master on this occasion.
A further item of considerable interest will be found in the old minutes of
the Lodge under date of December 27, 1864, which describes the public
installations of the officers selected to serve during 1865. This public
ceremony was held in the then new Methodist church. The minutes show
the following as having been installed on the date on the very ground
where the Temple now stands:
Paul R. Brooks, Worshipful Master, Joseph Cracklin, Senior Warden,
Richard A. Hayes, Junior Warden, E.W. Wood, Treasurer, E.B. Hayes,
Secretary, Robert L. Gilbert, Senior Deacon, James M. Davis, Junior
Deacon, Justus Assmann, Tyler, Solon O. Thacher, Orator, W.H. Fisher,
Chaplain.
The building and grounds owned by the Methodist Church at the. spot
were transferred to J.B Watkins on July 5, 1890, and later acquired by the
11

�Lawrence Masoni'c Temple Building Company in 1909. The Masonic
Temple was erected and occupied by the various Masonic bodies in the
year 1911.
(Ed. Note The Temple has since been sold and the Masons moved to
another location. The Temple is presently a nightclub.)

(Ed. Note. I came across this article while doing research on Elizabeth
Watkins)
Lawrence Journal World 30 July 1923.

Met sudden death in road accident
Frank V. Miller instantly killed on Fort to Fort Highway.
Stutz car was upset.
Was nephew of Mrs. lB. Watkins and Director of Bank.
Frank V. Millerof2117 Massachusetts, nephew of Mrs. J.B. Watkins and
a director in the Watkins National Bank, was instantly killed ,early
yesterday morning in a motor car accident on the fort to fort road in
Shawnee County. With Maurice T. Benedict and Mrs. Earl Newcomer of
Kansas City he was on the way to Topeka" when the Harry C. Stutz car
in which they were driving got out of control, skidded and rolled
completely over. Miller's skull was crushed when the car turned over.
,An approaching car with brilliant headlights is said to have blinded the
driver, causing him to get off the road while attempting to drive as near
the edge of the concrete pavement as possible.
Maurice T. Benedict, insurance agent was driver of the car and Mrs. Earl
T. Newcomer, whose husband is associated with D. W. Newcomer's sons,
Kansas City, was a passenger. Benedict was uninjured. Mrs. Newcomer's
12

�collar bone was broken. The injury was dressed at the Simmons hospital
after she was brought back to town and she left on an early train for
Kansas City, where she was taken to St. Joseph hospital. Her condition
is not serious it was said today.
Miller, Benedict and Mrs. Newcomer had been attending a farewell party
given for Dick Williams, assistant cashier of the Watkins Bank, who had
resigned to take a position with the Newcomer fmn in Kansas City. After
dancing at the Sigma Nu house until about 11 :30 members of the party
decided to go to Topeka for a ride and an early breakfast. The Harry C.
Stutz car was the last of 4 cars which carried the party to Topeka..
After the accident Mrs. Newcomer went to a farmhouse about 50 yards
distant and called the Cremeric restaurant in Topeka, where she knew the
party was going. Her call reached there at 20 minutes to 1, her husband
Earl T. Newcomer, said today.
Earl T. Newcomer was graduated from the School of Engineering at the
University in 1915. His wife was Miss Gertrude Spect, a Kansas City girl.
Mrs. Frank Miller was in Topeka when the news of the tragedy reached
the remainder of the party, A.B. Mitchell and Dick Williams got a
physician and hurried to the scene of the accident.
Dr. H.L Clark, Shawnee County Coroner, was called to the scene. He said
an inquest would be held Tuesday. Miller's body was bought to Lawrence
and Mrs. Newcomer and Benedict were brought home by other members
of the party.
Those who were in the party were: Mr. And Mrs. Newcomer, Kansas
City; Mr. and Mrs. C.F. Alexander, Kansas City; Gordon Saunders,
Kansas City; Miss Margaret Graye, Lake Charles, Louisiana-half sister to
Mr. Miller; Maurice T. Benedict, Lawrence; Mr. and Mrs. Miller; Mr. and
13

�Mrs. Dick Williams; W. T. Dinkins, Kansas City; and Miss Agnes DeMar
Gossard of New York City-sister of Mrs. Dick Williams.
Dr. H.L Clark, Shawnee County Coroner, told a Journal World reporter
today that he had not yet fixed the hour at which the inquest would be
held tomorrow. He also told of some of the conditions he had observed
while at the scene of the accident.
"The dirt shoulder was flush with the concrete at the place where the Stutz
fITst left the road on the right hand side, and it was hard dirt," said Dr.
Clark.
"It appeared that the car had got a little off the road and that an attempt to
get it back caused it to cross over to the left side of the road at a sharp
angle .. Then another effort to right the car caused the rear wheels to swing
out into the ditch on the left side."

"The car slid sidewise for a considerable distance until the rear wheels
struck a small pile of stones in the ditch. Then it was overturned and
rolled completely over finally standing upright on the wheels."
"The place where the car stopped was sixty feet from the place where it
went off the left side of the road, and 175 feet from where the wheels first
ran out on the shoulder on the right hand side of the concrete."
"I was called about 2o'c1ock. From what I had been able to learn, the
accident happened a little before lo'c1ock."
"The accident happened only a short distance from the farm home of
Michael Werner, from which Mrs. Newcomer telephoned to Topeka."
"Werner heard the smash and heard a woman scream. He rose and
dressed and went out to help as quickly as possible. He found the car
standing upright and Millers body in its place in the car. All of the
14

�occupants of the car remained in their seats when the car turned over."
"From all I was able to observe, it was apparent that the car must have
been going fast when the accident occurred."
"When the rear wheels of the car went into the ditch, the understructure
of the car dragged on the shoulder at the edge of the road until the car
overturned. The car was damaged only slightly and was driven back to
Lawrence by Bennie Carman. The car is the property of Frank Benedict,
brother of Maurice.
Frank Miller had spent his early life in Lake Charles, Louisiana, but had
come to Lawrence, in about 1912 to attend the University and act as
secretary to his uncle, J.B. Watkins. He attended th University for 3 years
and left in 1917 to join the army. He served as 2nd Lieutenant of infantry
overseas., He was a member of Phi Gamma Delta fraternity. Miller was
believed to have been sole heir to the estate of Mrs. J.B. Watkins, which
is estimated at nearly 2 million dollars. He married Miss Louise Monday
of Lake Charles, Louisiana, a year and four months ago. He was 27years
old.
The death of Frank Miller comes as a particular loss to scores of his
personal friends about Lawrence. "Lugs" Miller was quiet and
unassuming in his manner and a pleasant companion. In recent years he
has assumed increasing business responsibilities in a creditable manner.
Mrs. J.B. Watkins, who was spending the summer in Bay View,
Michigan, left for Lawrence on receipt of word of the death of Mr. Miller
and is expected to arrive late tonight or early tomorrow morning. Mr.
Miller's mother, Mrs. J.A. Graye, his half-sister and Mrs. Miller's parents
are on the way to Lawrence from Lake Charles.
No arrangements will be made for the funeral services until after the
relative have arrived.

�THE LOGO of the Douglas County Genealogy Society
In the fall of 1982, after hearing many suggestions that
the society needed a logo; Jean Snedeger and I sat in Perkins
Restaurant discussing some of the things we thought should
make up a suitable, logo. One thought was a outline of Douglas
County with footprints across it. Another idea was the county
with a covered wagon in the middle. These and other ideas
after some time evolved into the present Logo which is the
cover from own magazine "The Pioneer" enlarged and cleaned up
or simplified.
At this time I was substitute editor of 'The Pioneer" (Judy
Sweets the elected editor had went away to the east with her
family) and I could see that I did not have the time, patience
or skill to fmish the Logo and present it to the society, so
I called Cynthia Schott, a member of the society, who wor~ed
on enlarging and lettering for the emblem.
John Banta then saw the unfinished work in my home and asked
if he could work on it. He spent many hours cleaning up the
logo, rearranging the letters, adding the dates and putting
the whole thing in an acceptable form to present to the Board
and to the membership. The Logo was voted on at the general
meeting and accepted by the society. Later John had a rubber stamp
made by Stanley Harris and presented it to the society.
Sept. 6, 1983, about a year after the beginning of the logo Jean Snedeger
took the hand colored emblem to Francis Sporting Goods to have patches
made.

MARGARET ROBBINS QUAYLE
The Baldwin Ledger, 20 Feb. 1914
"There like an Eden blossoming in gladness
Bloom the fair flowers the earth too rudely"
Bessie Robbins we called her in those days not long ago. She had been born in Arizona
where her father was Surveyor General for the State, but he ended his labors when she was
a mere child and was brought to this historic town for Burial.
Her mother then remained here and the little child learned to play at the knee of her
grandfather, Dr.. Werter R. Davis, first president of Baker University, who was then pastor
of the Methodist church in this city.
A few years passed and William A. Quayle came into her life to be a real father. When he
became pastor of a large church in Kansas City she budded into young womanhood and made
many friends. Here it was that a street car accident inflicted a wound that never healed. An
every-day accident, you say, and yet it made a heroine of her life.
For thirteen long years she has endured pain and suffered untold agony. Twenty-one
distinct times has she placed her life in the hands of surgeons. But every time she would rally
and smile into the face of the world. When Dr. Quayle was called to Chicago, she forgot
her pain at times in her joy in studying art. She made many art sketches for the great
Marshall Field store until she had not the physical strength to meet their demands.
Most any of us can face death once when we think it is our only hope to live, but who of us
could do so for two score times and some of those times when we looked down into the
shadow without our friends knowing it, in order not to cause them anxiety.
The radium treatment at Baltimore was finally sought but even this would not avail and yet
with a brave face she turned her look westward to be with friends. In her last hours she
counted her mercies, her many joys and sweet companionships and did all she could to
comfort her mother in the trying hour.
From the Chicago hospital, where she closed her eyes last Monday, she was brought to her
father's cottage just recently erected for their vacation comfort. Flowers from many cities
and from many friends perfumed the room where the family, many times scattered, spent a
short hour with her. There was a sweet hymn and sweeter words, a prayer, a hush and a sob,
but she who had braved it all smiled on.
We have many heroes in our cemetery, men who have faced terrific battle and men who

17

�have faced many crises. But a hero in peace is no less a hero than a hero in time of war or
great public catastrophe. Her grandfather was a hero in war and she was a heroine. in peace.
A rare flower crushed with drooping leaves but the fragrance will remain with us forever.
We stand with uncovered head but with admiration in our eyes for the iron in the soul of a
girl whose bravery is not surpassed. God took her, but her example remains as a sweet
heritage to all who knew her

STAND BY OLD TRAIL
The Baldwin Ledger, 3 Apr. 1914

D.A.R. Address Calls for History of the Trail, and for Good Roads.
Mrs. T. A. Cordry, of Parsons, historian of the D.A.R., gave the following address at a recent
session at Ottawa which covers points of vital interest to all people in this community. The
address follows:
During the summer and fall, I received many requests for information regarding the Old Santa
Fe Trail in Kansas and the way the Daughters marked it, from D.A.R's, and club women all
over the United States. I finally made 15 typewritten copies, and they are gone. No one sent
postage, and only one acknowledged my help with a thank you letter, and that ~as a lady in
Brooklyn.
I was particularly interested in the stand taken by Judge J. H. Lowe, president of the Old Trails
movement, that the old trail should not be given up for the Golden Belt route. I wrote to him,
and his reply I prize very highly. He said in part, "In an age of criticism, it is like a refreshing
shower in a season of drought, to receive such a commendatory letter as yours." I also wrote to
Senator Bristow and Senator Thompson asking them to use their influence against the
Shackelford bill in Congress, which place all of the National road money in the hands of the
governor to place as he pleases. Replies
from both were pleasing.
,
Before Christmas, when so much was being published on the proposed high school relay on the
Old Santa Fe Trail, I had a friend figure on what it would cost to publish my story of the parking
of the Santa Fe Trail in pamphlet form. Sickness stopped my work for awhile. Then I argued, if
we should publish it, let it be in a handsome book form that we, as Daughters of the American
Revolution, can be proud of With the consent of our State Regent, I got prices. This I will give
to the Conference under the head of new business. The past two months I have carefully gone
over my story, to see that it was absolutely correct.
I have answered calls for the history of the Sons of the Revolution. Gave the tribute to the
Mount Vernon Ladies Association and the D.A.R. at the Daughters Memorial service the 22ndof
February in Parsons. Have added several biographies to my history. Have received two valuable
18

�papers, one from Mrs. T. E. Chandler of Ottawa on "The Old Indian Burying Ground," and the
other from Mrs. R. R. Bittman of Independence on her research work in connection with the
place where there was a massacre in 1863 on Rebel Creek in Montgomery county.
I urge th~ Daughters to gather local history, especially from the old settlers who are so fast
passing away. Have a file book and keep your findings, and have a scrap book and put the
obituaries of these old timers. And another thing, make friends with these old people who have
stories of history in their head we can never fmd in a book. I have made a State Historical's
Scrap Book, with clippings that I found with Miss Meeker's secretary's books and those sent me
from time to time by the chapters. One thing I wish that you would do - please put the date on
your clipping, as "last Saturday" is riot very defmite time to me. Our genealogist wishes the
story of our Revolutionary ancestors, as what little we put on our application papers is not much.
If we have family traditions and stories about that ancestor, write it out. Then if you will send
this to me, I will put it in proper form to send the Historian general or the genealogist. May I ask
this for your work this coming year?
Kansas Daughters have had on their rolls seven real Daughters, four are dead, one in Lawrence,
one in Kansas City, Mo., one in Topeka and one in Lebo. Another real Daughter but not a
member of our society, is buried in Atchison. It would be a proper thing to properly mark these
graves.

Hey Bear sold
The Baldwin Ledger, 12 Aug. 1932
The cinnamon bear, which Will Hey captured last April in Minnesota
and has had at his home since, was sold to a Kansas City restaurant last
week for advertising purposes. A man at the restaurant will give
wrestling demonstrations with the bear in front of the establishment to
attract crowds.

.

The bear had become quite a favorite with the children in the north part
of town, although it had not become thoroughly tamed.

TAKES THE OLD NAME
The Baldwin Ledger, 27 Sep. 1912

�Baldwin City Postoffice is Given Its Former Name
- Same as the Town - To Save Much Confusion.
Beginning next Tuesday, Oct. 1, the name of the postoffice at this place will be Baldwin City.
Ever since the organization of this town in 1855, the legal and corporate name of the town has
been Baldwin City. From the beginning, and for some years the postoffice had the same name.
Under a former administration, and for reasons not now apparent, the name of the postoffice
was changed to Baldwin. As the years have passed this has led to much legal confusion. The city
council has been compelled to re-publish city ordinances because they had the name of the town
described as Baldwin instead of Baldwin City. Deeds have had to be re-written. You cannot give
a deed for a town lot in Baldwin, Kansas, for there is no such town in Kansas. Look at your tax
receipt or your deed to your cemetery lot and you will find that all property is vested in the name
of Baldwin City.
But this has not been the only difficulty. There are 19 towns in the United States having the
name Baldwin. Their postoffices have the same name. The postoffice at this place is the only
one of the 19 that is a second class office. Of the remaining 18 two are small third-class offices
and the remainder are fourth class offices - conducted in connection with a country store and
hence not given first consideration as at this place.
The result of this is that much mail is missent and therefore delayed. One Baldwin City
merchant told us the other day that he had a valuable package go to Baldwin, KY., and remain
there for some days and it was with great difficulty that he was able to locate it.
'
On the other hand, this office being the most prominent of its name in the United States, is
constantly getting mail destined to other states. Postal clerks read the name Baldwin and take it
for granted that it comes to Kansas. Our mail is now so large that postal clerks running out of
Chicago and St. Louis and Denver make up sacks direct for this place. This is probably not the
case with any of the other 18 offices having the same name. There is hardly a day passes and
never a week that mail intended for other offices having the same name does not come to this
office.
Some months since the attention of the Postoffice Department was called to this condition of
things and it was suggested that probably the best way to remedy matters was to make the
postoffice the same name as the town as it had formerly been. Following the usual routine, the
Postoffice Department has ordered the old name restored and this order goes into effect next
Tuesday. It is hoped that this will eliminate any legal confusion in the future and also make less
frequent missent mail.
NOTE FROM RICHARD(Richard Wellman who sends me all this Baldwin information.
Thanks, Richard)
According to Post Office official records, the name."Baldwin City" was in effect from May 22,
20

�1862 until April 14, 1887. The shortened name "Baldwin" was in used from April 14, 1887 until
Aug. 16, 1912. The actual date of transition in 1912 is even disputed. Since 1912, the Post
Office and city name has been officially listed as Baldwin City. However, how many times has
there been reference in conversation to our town of Baldwin?
Do a "Google search" for Baldwin City and everything looks familiar, even down to the Maple
Leaf Festival. Not quite so with a search only for Baldwin.

DEATH OF W. H . SWEET
The news of the death of Dr. Wm. H. Sweet, Jan. 5th, at Centralia,
Wash.,. comes as a sad message to many in Baldwin. While not known
personally to a great number here at the present time, he will be recalled
as a former president of Baker University, and one greatly beloved by
all who knew him.
W. H. Sweet was given the degree of A. B. by Ohio Wesleyan in 1872,
and A. M. in 1875. From 1872 - 1877 he was professor of mathematics
in Baker University and became her president in 1879 and his
administration was continued until 1886, when he was succeeded by Dr.
H. A. Goblin. He then served Kansas Wesleyan University as professor
of Psychology and Ethics and later as field secretary, after which he
held various pastorates in Kansas and was a member of General
Conference, 1892 to 1896. He retired in 1915 from active service in the
church having served faithfully for nearly a half century.
I

J

Many things might be recalled relating to the presidency of Dr. Sweet
and his connection with the town and school in those early days.
Centenary Hall was built as the result of his untiring efforts. Science
Hall being the only college building on the campus, and too much
21

�cannot be said of his undaunted zeal in the matter of fmancing the
school and of inducing young people to attend Baker university. When
he became president in 1879 there were 102 students enrolled and when
he retired in 1886, the enrollment had reached 426, the increase being
largely due to his personal efforts. At that time there were few trees, and
fewer improvements. Pres. Sweet, with his own hands, planted many of
the trees in and around the campus; was interested in the growth of the
. town and built the house now owned by Mrs. J. H. Cundiff, which he
occupied while he was president of Baker University. Our institution
owes much to this man, to whose life and efforts we pause to pay
tribute.

SOME mSTORY OF THE MASONIC LODGE OF BALDWIN
The Baldwin Ledger, 16 Oct. 1891
FIRE FIRE FIRE
On last Monday night at about 11 0' clock Dan Briggs was riding down Main street when he
discovered the building owned by the Mason's and occupied by A. Leake &amp; Son with aharness
shop to be on fire. He immediately gave the alann and soon the streets were thronged with
excited citizens and students. The fire company arrived before the fire had gotten under good
headway and by untiring work succeeded in extinguishing the flames before the building had
entirely burned down. The building is so badly damaged however that it will be torn down
probably to make room for a new one. The cause of the fire is unknown but is supposed to have
caught from a match or cigar stub thrown down by someone, the G.A.R.' s having met in the hall
above that evening. The insurance on the building was $600 while Mr. Leake only had $400 on
his stock, but as most of the goods were saved his loss will be entirely covered. The building
adjoining the one burned and occupied by R. W. Bailey with a shoe shop was torn down in order
to save the rest of the block. The next day our citizens made up money and gave him to partly
compensate the loss he had sustained.
FROM THE MA YOR
In behalf of the citizens and property owners of Baldwin we desire to extend to the young men
of the city and the students of the university our thanks for their activity and energy in
extinguishing the fire on last Monday evening. The success in saving the property and stopping
the fire was largely due to their bravery and energy and as citizens we feel under grant
obligations to them for their kindness. James Murray, Mayor.

�NOTES:
The wind favored us.
Bob Bailey lost his awl.
That little engine is the stuff.
Several students were out after ten.
Prof. Wood was among the hardest workers.
Henry Humbert did a good business after the fire.
The Masonic goat had his tail scorched,.
R. W. Bailey has his shop in the Boyd room next to the book store.
Dan Briggs received slight injuries while helping carry out the stock.
Bet. Johnson and Davie Todd were first to get out the fire engine.
A. Leake &amp; Son will occupy the Pittman &amp; Thompson building.
"The whole block will go some of these days" could be heard on every hand.
Otsie Leake is a brave fireman and no mistake. He took big chances and did excellent work.
The building would have burned in short order but for the way it is built and the hard oak
material used in it.
The town well is not nearly large enough in case of a big fire. As it was the well was exhausted
before the fire was put out.
The Masons have not decided where they will build but it will probably be on the same lot or on
the Sullivan comer next to Schnebly's.

I, James Smith, Secretary of State, of the the State of Kansas, do hereby
certify that the foregoing is a true and correct copy of the original
instrument of writing filed to my office, November 29, 1879. In
testimony whereof I have hereunto subscribed y name and affixed my
official seal. Done at Topeka the pt day of December, A.D. 1879.
James Smith, Secretary of State
A meeting of the directors will be called as soon as possible, when
officers for the ensuing year will be elected.
In speaking of the fair Mr. Gould in his recent visit said: "This is the
central point for all the thriving young cities of eastern Kansas,
Leavenworth, Atchison, Topeka, -Ottawa and others. It is accessib~e by
rail for every section of this western county. Bismarck is the point of
advantage, and the idea is a sound one. The fair ought to be more than
State, it should be national in character. Kansas City, too, the business
and railroad center of this country, would probably lend a hand, as
Bismarck is almost within her suburbs."
The project starts off with a book, and it is difficult to conceive how
anything but success can attend it. If our own people are only united,
and all work together, there is little doubt but we shall have plenty of
outside help.

�OLD FOLKS DAY
The Baldwin Ledger, 8 Nov. 1912
The Epworth League Entertains 130 guests - 11 over 80 Years of Age
Last Saturday, the Epworth League gave their annual dinner and entertainment to the old people
of the community. The number of guests entertained this year was one hundred thirty, besides
about thirty of the young people. This was the largest number ever entertained by the Epworth
League.
This has been an annual event since 1907 when the Fiftieth anniversary of the First Methodist
class in Baldwin City was celebrated. The event grows in its interest every year and is a custom
which is quite distinct from anything which is practiced in other places.
Of the one hundred thirty guests of last Saturday, eleven were over 80 years of age. Mr. Seth
Sampson was the oldest, being 87. The others of this class were Dr. Osborn, Mr. Benedict,

Mr. Green, Mrs. Lovejoy, Mrs. Eberhart, Mrs. Todd, Mrs. Overton, Mr. Lampman, Mrs.
Graham, and Mrs. Tomilinson. The last named celebrated her 80th birthday on this occasion.
Mr. W. T. Jones had lived the longest in Baldwin City having come here in 1854. Mrs.
Burroughs had lived here fifty-five years and was a member of the first Methodist class in
Baldwin City.
Sixteen of the company had lived in Baldwin City for more that twenty-five years and eleven
were the children of preachers. Dr. S. S. Murphy preached at the eleven o'clock hour. At noon a
fine chicken dinner was served in the dining rooms of the church by the Epworth League, The
dining room was decorated with autumn leaves and colors. Each of the company wore his name
on a paper which was in the shape of an Epworth League badge.
At the dinner table, the following persons responded to the toasts proposed by Dr. Kester: Mr.
Millikin on "The Happiest Event of My Life After Twenty-one Years of Age;" Seth Sampson on
his "Experience at His first Campmeeting;" Mrs. Tomlonson on "The great inventions and
improvements which she had observed during her life;" Dr. Osborn on "An old Maid's
Paradise. "
To the toast, "Then and Now in church affiliations," Mrs. C. P. Ives responded to "then" and
Mrs. Dillheimer to "now." Mrs. Lovejoy told of "The happiest experience of my life." These
talks were all quite interesting and inspiring. Mrs. Dillheimer, who has but recently come to
Baldwin City and enjoyed this occasion for the first time, is the daughter of a Bishop; was the
wife of a minister and missionary to Africa, and is the mother of Mrs. Wright of this city whose
husband is a brother of the Wrights of aeronautic fame.
After rising from the table, there was an old fashioned,class meeting under the leadership of Mr.
Lampman. This was very interesting to the old people.

26

�The entertainment this year had been carefully planned by Prof. Ebright and Parker Kitterman,
the third vice-president of the League and was the most successful since the observation of the
[event ?] has been begun.
Below is the poem which was read by Dr. Osborn:
With bowing head and trembling knee
Once more we come, old friends to greet;
To look around the room and see
If there is something good to eat.
Tho' wither'd hand and frosted head,
Tho' falt'ring step and feeble trod,
Our hearts are warm, our blood is read
Our appetites are very good
Since last we met the call has come
For some dear loving one to go,
And leave a vacant chair at home,
With all affections here below.
And ere another year shall pass,
The final summons from on high
May claim one or more of this class
Will it be you? Will it be I?
Prolong'd has been our span of life,
Our work for good or bad is done.
We can't recall the bub'ling strife,
Nor retrace paths that we have gone
0, that each one might clearly see,
In the change that soon must come,
The passport to eternity A happier and blissful home.
Now this we want to say in truth;
The Epworth League, good and clever A noble band of earnest youth ---May it live and thrive forever

THE CITY ELECTION
The Baldwin Ledger, 5 April 1889
To say that the voters of Baldwin were taken completely by surprise in
the result of the election Monday is to put it very mildly. It was an
27

�overwhelming defeat of the masculine power Yorktown fmale.

a Waterloo, with a

The dissatisfaction expressed at the ticket was manifested early in the
morning and a disposition shown by many voters to ignore it entirely
and make the fight squarely as between it and the "woman's ticket."
This movement gained ground rapidly and by noon it was manifest that
the movement was not only becoming very popular but that it would
carry everything before it and the broad grin of satisfaction worn all day
by the managers of the affair showed how popular the new move had
become.
The following is a list of the officers'elected:
Mayor, Mrs. J. M. Sullivan, members of the council, Mrs. Cornelia
Kidder, Mrs. H. S. Stewart, Mrs. W. D. Martin, Mrs. W. A. Hyde and
Mrs. Lillian Scott. Police Judge, E. H. Topping.
A larger vote was cast than at any former election, the whole number
being 220, of which about 100 were ladies.
Weare glad to see this manifestation of interest on the part of the ladies
in the city government and congratulate them on the success of their
ticket and have no doubt but they will give us an able and prosperous
administration.
Miss Maud Leonard and Miss Julia Colburn were clerks at the election
Monday and the prompt manner in which they discharged their duties
and the neat and correct poll books attest their proficiency and fitness
for the position.

Our Old Crank Once More
Editor Ledger: It has been a right smart spell since I bothered you,
28

�Mister Editor, and I had about concluded that I wouldn't pester you
with any more of my fault fmding, but if you won't feel too hard against
an old fellow that does not have a great deal of fun in this world, I
would like to take a little of your valuable space this week. I would like
to say a few words if you will allow about the city election that took
some people's breath away. Now, Mister Editor, I ain't going to express
any opinions about women's suffrage. That is a matter of private
opinion that every man (or woman) has a perfect right to think as they
please about. I might not agree with you on this matter, but then you
know I am just an old fashioned crank and nobody cares a straw what I
think. But what I wanted to say wa~ this. If a majority of the people
want the women to run the city affairs, they ought to do it and I am dead
certain there will be just as good a government in the future as we have
had in the past. It is perfectly lawful for women to be mayors and',
councils if they want to be and the people are willing. No one with good
sense would object to a woman singing bass if she could. It seems to me
that it is a simple question of capability and in the present case no one
has raised any such objections. But gracious alive, how mad some folks
are! I heard one man say he was going to sell out and leave, because he
wouldn't live in a town that would do such a thing. Well, Mr. Editor, I
heard a boy on the street the other day yell. "Let'er go Gallager." I
expect that is slang but its plain English. It does seem to me that some
of the men in this town who call themselves lords of creation are pretty
small lords. It does seem to me that when they talk about "petticoat.
/ government" they are talking awful silly. Maybe it is because they are
used to that kind of government at home that they object to it in city
affairs. Anyhow we've got the women and what are we goingto do
about it. I believe that some where in the Bible it says "Grin and bear
it." I don't know whether that is in the Bible or not but its about what
some of our good friends will have to do. So no more at present from
'
your friend. Old Crank.

�REBECCA VanMETRE CARPENTER
The Baldwin Ledger, 20 Feb. 1914
Rebecca VanMatre, daughter of Amosa and Elizabeth VanMatre, was born May 11, 1834, in
Green County, Illinois, and died at her home in Baldwin City, Feb. 11, 1914. She was united in
marriage to James E. Carpenter, January 14, 1853. To this union were born nine children, five of
whom remain to mourn the departure from this life, of a faithful mother; Charles, James and Joh
Carpenter, and Mrs. Florence Sprague and Mrs. Ella Beal. The family came to Kansas in the
summer of 1854 and have continuously made their home near Baldwin City. Mrs. Carpenter
became identified, in early life, with the United Brethren church and for many years held her
membership at Black Jack. She was a firm believer in God, His goodness, purity and love,
that in living right that religion pure and undefiled is to help some one in need, to make the
pathway of life brighter and smoother for less fortunate ones. This principle she put in evidence
not only in word but in a long heroic life of noble deeds. Coming to the territory of Kansas in
1854, she endUred the hardships and helped solve the problems of those early days. There were
only two buildings in Palmyra at the time and without modem conveniences of travel and
communication, every pound of provisions and supply must be obtained from Kansas City.
Owing to this fact, Mr. Carpenter later "freighted" by schooner and ox team from that place to
the one store then beginning business in Palmyra, Mrs. Carpenter remaining at home with the
little ones. The home was located on the farm south of town where Mr. Frank Lobingier now
lives. The Santa Fe Trail and an old Indian path were the only public highways, the later
crossing the Carpenter homestead. On one of his trips to Kansas City, Mr. Carpenter narrowly
escaped the rebel soldiers, being compelled to leave his wagon and team, returning home' on
foot. Mr. Carpenter volunteered as a regular soldier in the trying times of the border trouble, and
for three long years this noble woman bore the entire responsibilities of a family of small
children and that in a war-ridded territory. Mrs. Carpenter was well acquainted with John

Brown, he having often visited in her home. In fact, she nursed his wounded son-in-law,
applying the simple remedies to an ugly wound. It was a common thing for her to come to the
store laboriously carrying a little child and a large bucket of eggs or other produce.
In 1877 Mr. Carpenter died, and now, with a family of seven children she must fight life ~s
battles alone. By cheer and hard work she has fought and won. With limited means she reared
the children, keeping them comfortably dressed and well fed and has given to each the
invaluable gift of a good education. This has been accomplished by the invincible resources of
her own life and an unfaltering trust in God. It is remarkable that she has thus lived and wrought
without incurring debt and without the need of charitable assistance. A family of honorable men
and women live to perpetuate her life and memory. Mrs. Carpenter was a doer of the word, as
well as a hearer. None knew more perfectly the joy ----(line missing?) -- drouth or pestilence has
she gone about in the community gathering food and supplies for suffering families. None knew
better the truth of Jesus words, "It is better to give than to receive." She delighted to charm away
pain and anxiety by a pleasant neighborly visit and when she was gone we were sure we had
been in the presence of one "who walked with God."
She lived on the old farm from 1854 till 1902, when she came to her home in Baldwin City
30

�where she died. With all the adversities and strenuous life she lived to be nearly 80 years old.
Having done well her part to make the vicinity of Baldwin City what it is we have in her life a
heritage invaluable that will not fade away. Ira Beamer conducted the funeral service. A prayer
was offered in the home and sermon in the West Baldwin church. Interment in the west side
cemetery.
I

Mother has left us. With a fortitude that has graced none more fair, she took leave of life
without a fear. Through weeks of silent suffering she looked calmly into the future and did not
falter; with a heroism born of her supreme faith in Jesus, she approached the end, thrilling with
her latest breath the note of exultation - as one who knocks at the gates of eternal morning
Shrouded in her robes unmaculate, (sic) asleep beneath a wreath of flowers that fain would have
kissed her eyelids to awakening, we laid her to rest beneath the pines. "We paused and breathed
a prayer above the sod, And left her to her rest in God." The sympathy of a host of friends is
extended to the bereaved ones

From The Daily Tribune, Lawrence, Thursday, 28 March 1877.
DEATH AND FUNERAL OF A GOOD PIONEER LADY
The whole community have heard with feelings of sorrow of the d~ath
. of Mrs. Elizabeth P. French, who expired on the evening ofMarch ..27th,
1877 of cancer.
Mrs. French was the only daughter of Mr. Franklin Haskell, one of the
pioneer settlers of 1854, coming to Lawrence, we believe, with the:
"Second Party" of New England Immigrants, and the sister of John G
and Dudley C. Haskell, the latter our present member of Congress.
Miss Haskell, the subject of this sketch, remamed behind the family in
New England, and came to Kansas in March, 1857. She was born at
Weathersfield, Vermont, on the 23 rd of April, 1836, and was therefore
almost forty-one years old.
'
The family were among the most respected and useful of the early
pioneers. The father was a devoted Free State man, a just and upright
citizen and a true Christian, his influence and example doing much to
mould the character of the infant settlement at Lawrence. The mother,
31

�whose death preceded that of the daughter but a few months, was truly a
pioneer mother to all who needed the good offices of a charitable,
intelligent Christian woman.
Miss Haskell was married to Mr. Charles D. French, at Springfield,
Massachusetts on the 25 th day of February, 1865, where the mother and
daughter were visiting relatives during that year. After marriage, they
removed to Leavenworth, residing there two years, and then coming to a
home on the well known Haskell homestead, adjoining Lawrence.
This excellent lady united with the Congregational church in her New
England home when a young girl, and has lived the life of a true
Christian woman. For several years she belonged to the choir of the
Plymouth Congregational Church, the first organized church in ,
Lawrerice. She was one of the pioneer teachers in the free schools. of
Lawrence, taking charge of a school, more as a matter of duty in the
days when good teachers were wanted, than from pecuniary motives,
and those who received the rudiments of an education in the Old
Unitarian church on the hillside will long remember the amiable,
kindhearted teacher, whose devotion to her duties laid deep the
foundation of usefulness and virtue. Perhaps at that period, there could
have been no person selected for such duties who was her superior in
every respect, as added to her innate goodness of heart, she had all the
elements of a studious character and a finished education, having been
well educated in the best institutions ofleaming in New England. In all
the positions of neighbor, daughter sister and wife she fulfilled well her
part, and goes to rest with the pure in heart, who have the promise of the
Everlasting Blessing, reversed, respected, and beloved as only the good
daughter, sister, wife and friend can be. Among those who knew her,
the tear will come unbidden at the news of the death of one whose life
has been so blameless and so useful.
The last sad rites were performed at the residence of her bereaved
32

�husband this afternoon, at which Rev. Mr. Spring, her last pastor, and
Rev. Dr. Cordley, so long the pastor of her church, gave the last
ministrations to the memory of a beloved sister. A large concourse of
sympathising friends attended the funeral, the following pall-bearers
officiating: Messrs. L. Bullene, H.W. Baker; Albert Allen, G.
Grosvenor, O.A. Hanscomb, and S.A. Riggs. All that remains of the
good woman were laid in a pleasant lot, beside the venerated father,
mother and brother, but a few steps from the door of the pioneer cabin
where she and they had so long been known for their kind hospitality in
the "times that tried men's souls," to sleep the last sleep of the good and
the just.
"There shall the yew her sable branches spread,
And mournful cypress rear her fringed head;
From thence shall thyme and myrtle send perfume,
Ans laurel evergroen o'ershade the tomb."
The deceased was a long suffering in the insidious disease which
resulted in death, being cancer of the breast. Nearly two years ago, she
underwent a surgical operation and for a time believed that the cure was
permanent.
"

Mrs. French leaves behind her a husband universally respected, and
three little children-a daughter and two sons- one of them an infant,
too young to have any appreciation the loss of a mother, to them the
whole community gives their sympathy for the irreparable loss.

Scholarships for KU women since 1915
In 1915, the University Women's Club at the University of Kansas
began an annual scholarship donation project among the mebership to
honor meritorious women students. The club was then known as the
Ladies of the Faculty, having been formed in May of 1900.
It was organized to help women take advantage of the educational,
cultural and social heritage ofKU. We have met continuously since
1900 for friendship and to be of service to the University.

Since 1915, more than 280 outstanding women have been awarded a
35

\.J

�UWC scholarship. We are the oldest scholarship-granting organization
at KU. In April 2005, the 90th year recipients shared in the pleasure of
knowing our history will be at Sesquicentennial Point in meaningful
ways.
The history of Lawrence and its university speaks of dedication to
worthy goals for town and gown alike. We believe our award recipients
have been ambassadors on campus and for Lawrence itself, past arid
present.

Lawrence Memorial Hospital
Lawrence Memorial Hospital was an idea that grew from a righteous
cause. In the early 1900s, as story was told about a doctor who had
been called to attend an old African American man who had fallen in a
fit on the sidewalk near the Eldridge Hotel. At the time, Lawrence was
served by three small private hospitals owned by physicians, but none
of them had a charity bed available. The doctor tried to find someone
who might know the man, but to no avail, before the man died.
There was no publicly owned hospital in Lawrence, where needy poor
could be taken for treatment in care. In 1919, the Social Service League
bought a frame house at 3rd and Maine Sts., and through a trust
agreement gave it to the city for a hospital. An appeal was made for
funds to repair and equip the building. About $10,000 was raised.
Lawrence Memorial Hospital opened for business January 17, 1921.
During the 1920s, the community increasingly depended upon LMH
and the facilities became inadequate. Elizabeth Miller Watkins offered
to give $200,000 to build a new hospital, and in 1929, a new brick
36

�building with 50 beds opened, becoming the pride of the community.
Additions funded by Mrs. Watkins and federal programs expanded the
hospital and added capacity over the years. In 2004, Lawrence
Memorial Hospital serves Lawrence and surrounding communities,
including practices in Eudora, Baldwin City and,Tonganoxie. The
hospital was named with a Kansas Excellence Award for Quality in
2003.
Today, LMH is a not-for-profit, city-owned hospital, which serves:
members of the community, regardless of an individual's ability to pay.
LMH invests all excess revenues into services, equipment and facilities
to further its mission to improve the health of the community.
While buildings and equipment are necessary to the provision of quality
medical care, it is the vision and foresight of good people like Mrs.
Watkins and others who built the community foundation on which
LMH has grown. Their commitment serves today as an inspiration for
the future.

1925
Lawrence Flower Club
"A shared interest in flowers and gardening drew together a group of
people in February of 1925 for the purpose of forming a club which
would provide mutual pleasure and instruction, and a vehicle for
making Lawrence a city of flowers." Thus begins the History of the,
Lawrence Flower Club, 1925-1975, written by Mrs. Olie R. (Vivian)
Parsons. Sixty-one people, men and women signed the club charter.
The club joined the Kansas Associated Garden Clubs in 1929.
37

�Eighty years later, that same purpose drives the membership of the
current Lawrence Flower Club, still composed of men and women. The
first yearbook, started in 1927, was four pages long. Yearbooks now list
officers, members, programs and speakers. Business is kept short and
to-the-point. Meetings are held in a public building, so that the size of
the meeting place does not dictate membership numbers.
Civic projects have always been high on the list of priorities for the
Lawrence Flower Club. In the 1925-1975 history, Mrs. Parsons tells of
the Manley Memorial Rock Garden and Pool in Central Park (now,
Watson Park), dedicated in May 1934. The pool was later filled in at
the request of the city when it became too much of an attraction to:
children. Plantings were also done in the parks, at the hospital, at some
churches, one of the fire stations, the county convalescent home and .
others. In 1938, members made 1,300 bouquets for decorating soldiers'
graves.
In 1997, a plan to renovate the dysfunctional "Teddy Roosevelt"
fountain on the east side of South Park came from the Countryside
Garden Club. At a city sponsored planning meeting, the suggestion to
move the fountain close to the gazebo in South Park came from a
Lawrence Flower Club member.
A dedication ceremony on June 20, 2001, saw the fountain, with water
flowing, located in the center of the beautiful flower beds. A flyer,
written by a Lawrence Flower Club member, gives the history of the
fountain and is available through the Lawrence Parks and Recreation
Department.
In April 2001, the will of the late Marvin Selichnow, a Lawrence
businessman, included a substantial bequest to the Lawrence Flower
Club, honoring his wife, Alberta, a former member. This gift has
enabled the club to give $2,000 toward a grant to enlarge the Sensory
38

�Gardens at the Audio Reader site near the University of Kansas campus.
Prairie Acres Garden Club and the Lawrence Flower Club collaborated
on a grant from the National Garden Clubs, Inc., for this project. And
now we are able to sponsor a footstone for the pathway at
Sesquicentennial Point. We are grateful to Mr. S~lichnow for his
generosity! Our members are proud of the history of the Lawrence
Flower Club, one of the oldest garden clubs in Kansas. Other garden
clubs in Lawrence are Prairie Acres, Green Thumb, Meadowlark, .
Designer's Guild and Countryside.

1950
Charles and Tensie Oldfather
The Oldfathers met at the University of Nebraska and were married in
1942. They came to Lawrence in 1950, where Charley became a
professor of law· at the University of Kansas and Tensie raised a family
of five boys and two girls. For the next half century, the Oldfathers
became significant Lawrence citizens. Although they had a large
family, they regularly opened their doors to troubled teens. For more
than 20 years, they provided temporary housing for teenagers in
emergency situations through the Volunteers in Court program. Tensie
volunteered for many things in the community, including 4H and PTA.
Through the years, Charley too became well-known in the community,
appearing in community theater productions, films and a host of civic
activities.
The benevolent personalities of Tensie and Charley enriched the lives
of many in Lawrence. They both gave generously of their spirits and .
. their resources to improve the lives of others and to create lasting
39

�legacies for Lawrence and its citizens. Through their years in
Lawrence, they supported the Red Cross, the Bert Nash Community
Mental Health Center, Inc., Head Start, The Villages, the Lawrence
Community Theater, the University of Kansas, Haskell Indian Nations
University, Kansas Public Radio and many others.
When Tensie received a significant inheritance in the 1970s, their
philanthropic nature was only increased with quiet humility. As one
result, however, Charley was able to quit his job as law professor and
take up acting, a natural gift. This also allowed him to become involved
in many civic activities during the day, including serving on the school
board, chairing the State Advisory Council on Aging, and helping
restore Liberty Hall in the 1980s.
After Charley died in 1996, Tensie continued the couple's commitment
to Lawrence, steadfastly following her belief that sharing one's
resources is the best way to both give and to receive. In 2000, Tensie
gave $4 million to establish the Douglas County Community
Foundation, which, in only five years, grew to assets of over $7 million,
returning more that $1 million in grants to community nonprofits that
promote education, health care, development, the environment and the
arts. The quality of life for the citizens of Lawrence and the Oldfather's
charitable legacy helped assure Lawrence's future.
Tensie Oldfather died October 2,2007 "

Once again, I want to say this is my last issue. Hopefully someone will
40

�step forward to take over the publication of The Pioneer. It has been in
publication for 36 years and it would be a shame for it to lapse.
Call me at 785-843-9199 or burchill@ku.edu.

My thanks go to Richard Wellman and Don Vaughn, both of whom
have furnished me with material over the years.

MR. ARNOLD:

Today is February 20th, 2017.

I

3

am local historian Tom Arnold interviewing

4

Reverend Richard Dulin and his wife, Mrs. Barbara

5

Dulin, via telephone for the City of Lawrence Fair

6

Housing Ordinance 50th Anniversary Oral History

7

Project.

8

At the time the ordinance passed in July,

9

1967, Reverend Dulin was the chairman of the

10

Lawrence Fair Housing Coordinating Committee.

11

Reverend and Mrs. Dulin, before we begin the

12

interview I just want to confirm that you are both

13

aware that I am recording this telephone interview

14

and have your permissions to do so.

15

REVEREND DULIN:

16

MRS. DULIN:

17

(15:04:31)

18

MR. ARNOLD:

Yes.

Yes.

Okay, thank you.

I would like

19

to start off by asking you both to share a little

20

bit about your backgrounds and what brought you to

21

Lawrence in the 1960s.

22
23
24
25

REVEREND DULIN:
thoughts.

(indiscernible)

MR. ARNOLD:
through.

I'm trying to collect my

The audio is not really coming

Could the phone be held up a little bit

�3

1

closer to Reverend Dulin.

2

MRS. DULIN:

3

REVEREND DULIN:

4
5

Okay.
I have had a lot of

experiences in race relations. (indiscernible)
I had an experience (indiscernible) with a

6

demonstration when I was in seminary

7

(indiscernible) Nashville, sit-in.

8

MRS. DULIN:

This is Barbara.

9

MR. ARNOLD:

Yes.

10

MRS. DULIN:

Helping Dick to get through all

11

this.

Can you hear me?

12

MR. ARNOLD:

Yes, I can.

13

MRS. DULIN:

Okay.

He was born in Kansas

14

City and his family and his mother and his father

15

were Kansans and then they moved to Texas and he

16

went to the junior high and high school in Dallas,

17

he went to TCU and got his B.A. there, and then he

18

moved to Vanderbilt Divinity School and he

19

graduated in 1960, which is a big day where all

20

the sit-ins and (indiscernible) his classmates, so

21

all that started with his seminary.

22

Then he graduated and he went to Tempe,

23

Arizona, and then Texas A &amp; M and then Denton,

24

Texas, at North Texas and Texas Women's

25

University.

He was being a campus minister for

�4

1

all those jobs and he was, we were work, he was

2

working in Denton and then things, all the

3

churches were blowing up with the pastors in the

4

churches through all that period and finally JFK,

5

the President, was killed just 30 minutes away

6

from us, and so finally the big problem was that

7

the Christian churches that we were involved with

8

were blowing up and so he decided he would go to

9

United Church of Christ and they asked for a job

10

for campus minister and K.U. asked him to come and

11

so he was on the staff at Plymouth Congregational

12

there and he was on a floating ministry that went

13

into the campus and so that's why we came to

14

Lawrence, and so that's where we are at this

15

point.

16

MR. ARNOLD:

Okay.

17

MRS. DULIN:

And now you can go a little

18

farther if you want to Dick.

19

(15:09:23)

20

MR. ARNOLD:

Sure.

And then I'd just like to

21

ask, so when you arrived in Lawrence how did you

22

find the racial atmosphere in the city of Lawrence

23

to be at that time?

24
25

REVEREND DULIN:

I really didn't find much

conflict (indiscernible) civil rights.

�5

1

(inaudible)

2

aware of.

There wasn't any conflict that I was

3

(15:09:59)

4

MR. ARNOLD:

5

fairly peaceful city?

6

African-Americans obvious at that time?

7

So Lawrence at that time was a

REVEREND DULIN:

Was discrimination against

(indiscernible) I'm just

8

saying that I was not aware of any conflict except

9

in the housing area.

10

(15:10:30)

11

MR. ARNOLD:

12

REVEREND DULIN:

What -When I was at TCU there was

13

a white, completely white group and so K.U. saw a

14

different complexion through the sports program

15

and the growing black population.

16

(15:11:08)

17

MR. ARNOLD:

Why did you decide, Reverend

18

Dulin, to get involved with fair housing issues at

19

that time?

20

REVEREND DULIN:

21

(15:11:21)

22

MR. ARNOLD:

It kind of pursued me.

So you were asked to become the

23

chairman of the Fair Housing Coordinating

24

Committee, or at least initially a member of the

25

committee?

�6

REVEREND DULIN:

1
2

committee, appointed by the campus ministry group.

3

(15:11:56)

4

MR. ARNOLD:

5

Yes, I was a member of the

Can you tell me a little bit

about what the committee was trying to accomplish?
REVEREND DULIN:

6

They were trying to provide

7

fair housing to students enrolled in the college

8

(indiscernible) graduate students and their

9

families.

10

(15:12:31)

11

MR. ARNOLD:

So at that time they were

12

subject to housing discrimination and you got

13

involved to try and address that?

14

REVEREND DULIN:

15

(15:12:42)

16

MR. ARNOLD:

17

Yes.

And do you recall how you became

the chairman of the coordinating committee?

18

REVEREND DULIN:

19

MR. ARNOLD:

No.

Do you remember any of the other

20

people who were involved?

21

in your mind who were also on the committee with

22

you?

23

REVEREND DULIN:

Does anyone stand out

I remember one person who

24

was on the committee.

She was the director of the

25

YMCA at the university and her support was

�7

1

critical, but I can't remember her name.

2

Dulin is probably referring to Mrs. Anne Moore.

3

She was a known member of the Fair Housing

4

Coordinating Committee in 1966, and her husband

5

Tom Moore was the Director of the University of

6

Kansas YMCA].

(15:13:39)

8

MR. ARNOLD:

9
10

that up.

Okay.

[Rev.

Well, I think we can look

Thank you.

Do you remember why the committee chose in

11

early 1967 to go to the City Human Relations

12

Commission to ask for a fair housing ordinance?

13

REVEREND DULIN:

Yes.

It was an urgent

14

appeal because black students and African students

15

and students from Hawaii and all over the globe

16

were seeking good housing close to campus.

17

(15:14:53)

18

MR. ARNOLD:

And when you appeared before the

19

Human Relations Commission in January, 1967, did

20

they seem very receptive to the proposal for fair

21

housing?

22

REVEREND DULIN:

23

(15:15:11)

24

MR. ARNOLD:

25

Yes.

And from looking at historical

material it appears that the Fair Housing

�8

1

Coordinating Committee that you were the chairman

2

of worked very closely with the Human Relations

3

Commission to draft the ordinance.

4

correct?

5

REVEREND DULIN:

Is that

As far as I'm aware I think

6

that was (indiscernible) the proposal by the Human

7

Relations Committee.

8

(15:15:58)

9

MR. ARNOLD:

And were you and the members of

10

your committee confident that the City Commission

11

would be receptive to a fair housing ordinance?

12

REVEREND DULIN:

I didn't have any

13

preconceived notions but really just had immediate

14

reactions in the community, individual students,

15

who were impacted, and they figured fair housing

16

was necessary to take care of the problem.

17

(15:17:14)

18

MR. ARNOLD:

So it sounds as if many people

19

recognized that this was a problem that needed to

20

be addressed?

21

REVEREND DULIN:

22

(15:17:23)

23

MR. ARNOLD:

That's right.

Now, one thing we found

24

interesting was at the time the Human Relations

25

Commission was drafting the ordinance the Fair

�9

1

Housing Committee that you were the chairman of

2

went out and conducted a signature campaign and

3

collected over a thousand signatures from people

4

in support of fair housing.

5

signature campaign?

6

REVEREND DULIN:

7

(15:17:49)

8

MR. ARNOLD:

9

Do you recall that

Yes.

Do you remember whose idea that

was to do that?

10

REVEREND DULIN:

11

MR. ARNOLD:

12

REVEREND DULIN:

13

(15:18:05)

14

MR. ARNOLD:

No, I don't think so.

Okay.
I can't recall.

Were you surprised at how many

15

signatures you obtained?

16

signatures was very significant considering the

17

size of Lawrence at that time.

18

you that that many people were supportive?

19

REVEREND DULIN:

Because over a thousand

Did that surprise

Yes, very much.

It was

20

obvious that there was a great need for such a

21

committee.

22

(15:18:32)

23

MR. ARNOLD:

The one thing I wanted to ask

24

you about was the support of the churches.

Much

25

of the research we have done and other people I

�10

1

have interviewed indicated that a large number of

2

Lawrence churches were very supportive of fair

3

housing and trying to create this ordinance.

4

you find that to be the case?

5

clergymen very supportive and fellow churches very

6

supportive?

7
8

REVEREND DULIN:

Did

Were your fellow

Yes, but not, but not the

realtors.

9

(15:19:07)

10

MR. ARNOLD:

Right.

The realtors appeared to

11

be the only people who were in opposition.

12

you say the support of the churches was a very

13

important element in getting the ordinance passed

14

by the City Commission?

15

REVEREND DULIN:

16

(15:19:25)

17

MR. ARNOLD:

Would

Yes.

Do you remember any fellow

18

clergymen who were involved in this effort that

19

you worked with?

20

REVEREND DULIN:

No, except for one other

21

campus minister, who became the chairman of the

22

Fair Housing Ordinance [Committee] shortly after

23

establishing it.

24

(15:19:57)

25

MR. ARNOLD:

Do you remember his name?

�11

1
2

REVEREND DULIN:

No, I can't remember his

name, but I remember he was Presbyterian.

3

(15:20:06)

4

MR. ARNOLD:

Okay.

Was there any controversy

5

within your church about some people being

6

socially active as you were or was all the

7

membership of the church very supportive, all the

8

congregation?

9

REVEREND DULIN:

Well, I think that this kind

10

of issue would run a hard road to solution, with

11

the church support this was necessary, but there

12

was conflict within the congregations.

13

trouble for the realtors and some other people.

14

(15:21:07)

15

MR. ARNOLD:

They made

Do you remember working also

16

with members of the black churches in favor of

17

fair housing?

18

REVEREND DULIN:

19

(15:21:24)

20

MR. ARNOLD:

Yes.

Would you say that cooperation

21

was very good between your church and some of the

22

black churches in working issues like this?

23
24
25

REVEREND DULIN:

Yes, particularly my church,

which was United Church of Christ.
(15:21:43)

�12

1

MR. ARNOLD:

Right.

Can you think of any

2

other churches specifically that were involved,

3

either white or black churches?

4

REVEREND DULIN:

Well, most of the churches

5

had a positive reaction to a Fair Housing

6

Ordinance.

7

(15:22:16)

8

MR. ARNOLD:

9

Good.

And I wanted to ask you

about in May, 1967, when the City Commission was

10

considering the Fair Housing Ordinance, you

11

appeared before the commission and said you had

12

the signatures of 23 clergymen from throughout

13

Lawrence who were all in support.

14

obtaining those signatures and that support from

15

other clergymen?

16

REVEREND DULIN:

17

(15:22:41)

18

MR. ARNOLD:

Do you remember

Yes.

And do you think that was an

19

important consideration for the City Commission in

20

passing the ordinance?

21

REVEREND DULIN:

I'm sure it had a great deal

22

of importance to the committee to have the

23

churches line up behind it.

24

(15:23:08)

25

MR. ARNOLD:

Good.

And also the university,

�13

1

some, the university vice chancellor and

2

basketball coach Ted Owens wrote letters in

3

support of fair housing to the City Commission.

4

Do you think that was also important in positively

5

influencing them?

6

REVEREND DULIN:

Oh, definitely.

That was

7

very important, because the basketball program

8

there (indiscernible) long-term relation to the

9

college.

10

(15:23:59)

11

MR. ARNOLD:

I don't know if you remember a

12

gentleman named Fred Six.

13

and was a member of the Human Relations Commission

14

and he did much of the drafting of the Fair

15

Housing Ordinance, but do you recall if members of

16

your committee worked with him in drafting the

17

ordinance?

18

REVEREND DULIN:

19

(15:24:22)

20

MR. ARNOLD:

He was a local attorney

Yes.

Do you remember a law professor

21

named Robert Casad?

22

committee and also helped in doing research.

23

REVEREND DULIN:

24

(15:24:35)

25

MR. ARNOLD:

He was a member of your

Yes, of course.

Okay.

Was he very helpful in

�14

1

the process of developing the ordinance?

2

REVEREND DULIN:

3

(15:24:44)

4

MR. ARNOLD:

Yes.

Were there any other people who

5

you can think of off the top of your head who

6

played an important role?

7

REVEREND DULIN:

8

(15:25:02)

9

MR. ARNOLD:

I just remember a few.

Right.

I know it's been 50

10

years, which is a long time.

11

Glenn Kappelman, who was a local realtor but who

12

was very much in favor of fair housing?

13

REVEREND DULIN:

Do you remember

Do I remember?

Yes, he was

14

one of the positive realtors who supported the

15

housing ordinance right after, right off the bat,

16

and that was a great help.

17

(15:25:40)

18

MR. ARNOLD:

Good.

And I know many people at

19

the university supported fair housing and many of

20

the churches did, but would you say it was also

21

important to have people like Glenn Kappelman,

22

local businessmen, who were standing up in favor

23

of fair housing?

24

local people that this was something that needed

25

to be done?

Did that help influence many

�15

1

REVEREND DULIN:

2

(15:26:10)

3

MR. ARNOLD:

I'm sure it did.

Now I think it was in April,

4

1967, when the Fair Housing Ordinance was

5

initially presented to the City Commission.

6

the City Commission seem receptive to the idea of

7

a fair housing ordinance?

8

REVEREND DULIN:

9

(15:26:28)

10

MR. ARNOLD:

Did

Yes.

Were you surprised that they

11

were receptive and that they eventually passed the

12

ordinance or did you expect that to happen?

13

REVEREND DULIN:

I think that they had such a

14

level of support from the community that it was

15

almost inevitable that the City Council would have

16

voted for it.

17

(15:27:06).

18

MR. ARNOLD:

There was one commissioner who

19

voted against it.

20

objections were, or do you remember what the real

21

estate community's objections were?

22

Do you remember what his

REVEREND DULIN:

They felt that that was an

23

interference with what the community tried to do

24

and they were opposed this interference from

25

outside the committee.

�16

1

(15:27:55)

2

MR. ARNOLD:

A couple of people I have

3

interviewed have suggested that there were some

4

real estate agents who actually welcomed the fair

5

housing law.

6

right thing to do but they were afraid to speak

7

out in support of it because they thought it might

8

hurt their business.

9

that some of them actually were supportive but

10
11

They thought fair housing was the

Do you think that was true,

just couldn't say so publicly?
REVEREND DULIN:

That's true.

Course, Glenn

12

Kappelman was one of the, outspoken supporter of

13

the commission.

14

(15:28:46)

15

MR. ARNOLD:

16

REVEREND DULIN:

17

MR. ARNOLD:

Yes, I think -- go ahead.
What?

I said I think he played, many

18

people have said he played a very important role

19

because he was a member of the real estate

20

community.

21

committee to try to help promote fair housing?

Did he work closely with your

22

REVEREND DULIN:

23

(indiscernible)

24

(15:29:20)

25

MR. ARNOLD:

Yes.

Reverend Dulin, can you tell me

�17

1

a little bit more about what you personally did as

2

chairman of the fair housing committee, what types

3

of duties you had and what some of your ideas were

4

that you remember?

5
6

REVEREND DULIN:

I was conscious of the

chamber to support Fair Housing Commission.

7

(15:30:13)

8

MR. ARNOLD:

I know there were many local

9

community groups that were in support of fair

10

housing and many of them had members on your

11

committee, the League of Women Voters, Church

12

Women United, the NAACP.

13

as the chairman to bring all those groups together

14

or was their support very strong and it made your

15

job easier?

16

REVEREND DULIN:

Was it difficult for you

Their reaction was very

17

strong in favor of the commission and we got a lot

18

of help from those people particularly League of

19

Women Voters, NAACP and the Church Women United,

20

and all, all the others that you mentioned.

21

(15:31:21)

22

MR. ARNOLD:

Okay, good.

I just want to ask

23

you about some people who were involved with those

24

groups.

25

African-American woman who was the president of

Do you remember Dorothy Harvey, an

�18

1

Church Women United?

2

REVEREND DULIN:

3

(15:31:36)

4

MR. ARNOLD:

Yes.

Yes.

And also a gentleman named Jesse

5

Milan, who was an African-American teacher in the

6

Lawrence schools?

7

NAACP.

He was the president of the

Was their support very important?

8

REVEREND DULIN:

9

(15:31:51)

10

MR. ARNOLD:

11

Yes.

And do you remember working with

them on this issue?

12

REVEREND DULIN:

13

(15:32:01)

14

MR. ARNOLD:

Yes.

Tell me a little bit about how

15

you worked with the leaders of these other

16

organizations.

17

REVEREND DULIN:

18

MR. ARNOLD:

What was that?

Can you tell me a little bit

19

about how you worked with those people, the

20

leaders of these other organizations?

21

attend your meetings?

22

discussions with them?

23

coordinated with those groups?

24
25

REVEREND DULIN:
support these groups.

Did they

Did you have individual
Do you remember how you

Yes.

It was necessary to

�19

1

(15:33:03)

2

MR. ARNOLD:

I wanted to ask you, in February

3

of 1967 as the Human Relations Commission was

4

starting to work on the Fair Housing Ordinance,

5

preparing it to send up to the City Commission,

6

your committee submitted a several page long

7

position paper on fair housing which had your

8

signature on it.

9

have members of your committee work together to

10
11

Did you draft that or did you

draft that, do you remember?
REVEREND DULIN:

I remember participating on

12

that, working out the language and the issues and

13

how it would be spread around the community.

14

(15:33:57)

15

MR. ARNOLD:

Do you remember any other people

16

who worked with you on that paper?

17

Casad, the law professor, one of the ones who

18

assisted with that?

19

REVEREND DULIN:

20

(15:34:12)

21

MR. ARNOLD:

Was Robert

Yes.

And then also at the City

22

Commission hearings in which fair housing was

23

discussed, in which the ordinance was discussed,

24

large numbers of people turned out to speak on

25

behalf of fair housing.

Did you arrange for all

�20

1

those speakers to come or did many of them just

2

hear about it and came on their own?

3

REVEREND DULIN:

They were voluntary that

4

supported the fair housing commission [committee]

5

and I worked with a lot of those people.

6

(15:35:14)

7

MR. ARNOLD:

And when the city held its

8

hearing in which the, to hear the opposing views

9

the only people who showed up were I think one

10

real estate agent and a lawyer for the real estate

11

agents.

12

other opposition or did you think that really at

13

that point very few people were opposed?

14

Were you surprised that there was no

REVEREND DULIN:

I think that I believed that

15

the ordinance was fair, in sync with the

16

committee.

17

(15:36:08)

18

MR. ARNOLD:

So I take it, then, that you

19

were very pleased that there was not very much

20

opposition other than just from the narrow group

21

of real estate agents?

22

REVEREND DULIN:

23

(15:36:20)

24

MR. ARNOLD:

25

Yes.

And do you think that helped

influence the City Commission to pass it, because

�21

1

so many people spoke in favor and only a very

2

narrow group spoke in opposition?

3

REVEREND DULIN:

4

(15:36:34)

5

MR. ARNOLD:

That's right.

Now, how would you characterize

6

the position of some of, I'll describe it as maybe

7

the city establishment, people like the local

8

newspaper?

9

doubts?

Were they supportive or did they have

I know your committee published several

10

articles in the paper in favor of fair housing.

11

Was the newspaper happy to run those or do you

12

think they were a bit more reluctant?

13

REVEREND DULIN:

14

(15:37:03)

15

MR. ARNOLD:

They were happy.

Okay, that's good.

And I spoke

16

to, I don't know whether you remember Richard and

17

Phyllis Sapp.

18

a biology professor at K.U. but he said he

19

arranged for all those articles to be written as a

20

member of your committee.

21

REVEREND DULIN:

22

(15:37:30)

23

MR. ARNOLD:

He was a law -- he was, I'm sorry,

Do you remember that?

Yes.

So it sounds like you had some

24

very active support within your committee to help

25

you push the ordinance forward.

�22

1

REVEREND DULIN:

2

(15:37:49)

3

MR. ARNOLD:

Yes.

And I also noted that, in

4

looking at the membership of your committee, many

5

of them were affiliated with the university but

6

there were also clergymen and some local

7

businessmen.

8

good cross section of the community on your fair

9

housing committee?

Were you happy that you had a fairly

10

REVEREND DULIN:

11

(15:38:11)

12

MR. ARNOLD:

Yes, of course.

And do you think that helped

13

obtain the broad support across the community for

14

passing the ordinance?

15

REVEREND DULIN:

16

(15:38:23)

17

MR. ARNOLD:

Yes.

And did the City Commission seem

18

to recognize that fact and that helped influence

19

them?

20

REVEREND DULIN:

21

(15:38:37)

22

MR. ARNOLD:

Yes.

Now, once the ordinance passed

23

in July, 1967, obviously things didn't change

24

overnight, but did you have a positive feeling

25

that the ordinance would eventually bring about

�23

1

positive change?

2

REVEREND DULIN:

3

(15:38:54)

4

MR. ARNOLD:

Yes.

Did you see any of that while

5

you were still here in Lawrence?

6

have an easier time obtaining housing close to

7

campus?

8
9

REVEREND DULIN:

No.

Did students

I was too short of

people who supported the commission and it was in

10

the dog days of August that things began to get

11

going.

12

(15:39:49)

13

MR. ARNOLD:

14

So change did not come right

away, even after the ordinance was passed?

15

REVEREND DULIN:

16

(15:39:57)

17

MR. ARNOLD:

That's right.

Now, were you still in Lawrence

18

when some of the violence erupted in the late

19

1960s on campus and in the city?

20

REVEREND DULIN:

21

(15:40:08)

22

MR. ARNOLD:

No, I wasn't.

Okay, when did you leave

23

Lawrence, do you recall?

24

REVEREND DULIN:

25

MRS. DULIN:

In --

(Inaudible)

�24

1

REVEREND DULIN:

2

(15:40:29)

3

MR. ARNOLD:

4

In, it was August, '67.

Oh, so you left almost

immediately after the ordinance passed?

5

REVEREND DULIN:

6

(15:40:34)

7

MR. ARNOLD:

That's right.

Now, did your role in that

8

process influence your decision to leave?

9

anyone, were there any people who had hard

Did

10

feelings about what you had done or was it just

11

career considerations that led you to depart?

12
13

REVEREND DULIN:

I think probably it had a

part of a mix.

14

(inaudible)

15

Yes.

16

MRS. MRS. ELAINE DULIN CLYATT DULIN CLYATT:

17

W

e're going to pass this on to Mom.

18

(15:41:13)

19

MR. ARNOLD:

Okay.

20

MRS. DULIN:

He's done pretty well, don't you

21
22

think?
MR. ARNOLD:

He's done wonderfully, and the

23

information we are getting is very useful.

This

24

is -- he's filling in some blanks that we weren't

25

able to get from other people so this is really

�25

1
2

wonderful.
MRS. DULIN:

Oh, that's good.

There was,

3

there were just basic problems that I was not

4

involved with but he realized there was something

5

going on with the campus ministers and it was, and

6

the churches, and I don't think it was connected

7

with fair housing and they all of a sudden decided

8

they were going to eliminate all of the four

9

campus ministers and Dad was the youngest one that

10

came into the thing and he tried to find a job as

11

a campus minister through the U.C.C. [United

12

Church of Christ] where he used to be but there

13

was nothing ready at that point and so there was a

14

church in Massachusetts that wanted him and so we

15

had to move quickly, because we didn't have any

16

choice.

17

(15:42:43)

18

MR. ARNOLD:

Okay.

19

MRS. DULIN:

There were things happening at,

20

in the campus and there was a lot of things around

21

(indiscernible) the town that is always under the

22

surface and churches were not, you know, our

23

churches were white and you had the black churches

24

by themselves and south of us were the Indians, so

25

it was a family that, I mean, the Lawrence family

�26

1

thing is that they were taking care of each other

2

but they had never integrated and, really, and it

3

took this joy here in Wilmington at this point in

4

our lives to have neighbors and friends of all

5

races, it's just lovely here.

6

(15:43:39)

7

MR. ARNOLD:

Good.

8

MRS. DULIN:

But the big thing was that there

9

was a lot of tension going through all of this and

10

they wouldn't seek it out, it was just coming very

11

slowly.

12

(15:43:56)

13

MR. ARNOLD:

Right.

Yes, I wondered if even

14

if it wasn't Reverend Dulin's direct role in

15

playing such a visible role in fair housing that

16

created pressure to leave, but I know some of the

17

people that I have interviewed suggested that

18

there was even maybe within the church community

19

some of the more conservative members were

20

becoming unhappy with the active role that some of

21

the ministers and even other church members were

22

taking in pursuing social action issues and I

23

wondered if maybe just that kind of general

24

opposition may have influenced it.

25

MRS. DULIN:

The whole country was like that,

�27

1

and the other part was where we were from in Texas

2

it was open, you know, it wasn't under the surface

3

and it was a real fight between churches and

4

schools and all kinds of things, but Lawrence was

5

not doing that that much and so it was a relief

6

for us when we came into it (indiscernible) so you

7

were able to get a fair housing bill.

8

(15:45:17)

9

MR. ARNOLD:

Right.

10

MRS. DULIN:

I think that people were doing

11
12
13

Now, --

pretty well considering all that was there.
MRS. ELAINE DULIN CLYATT:

Tom, this is

Elaine.

14

MR. ARNOLD:

Yes.

15

MRS. ELAINE DULIN CLYATT:

16

a little bit.

17

conflict in Lawrence.

18

MR. ARNOLD:

19

MRS. ELAINE DULIN CLYATT:

I want to jump in

There's always a town-gown kind of

Right, absolutely.
And I think that

20

at that particular point the churches were

21

becoming more and more nervous about the unrest on

22

campus.

23

MR. ARNOLD:

24

MRS. ELAINE DULIN CLYATT:

25

Right.
And for whatever

reason deciding to discontinue the campus

�28

1

appointments from the different churches that were

2

involved happened about then, so we were caught up

3

in that.

4

MR. ARNOLD:

Sure.

5

MRS. ELAINE DULIN CLYATT:

We were caught in

6

the churches being really nervous about the

7

conflict that was increasing on campus.

8

(15:46:05)

9

MR. ARNOLD:

Right.

And of course that

10

conflict would continue to build until really in

11

1969 and 1970 it actually broke out into, you

12

know, violence in Lawrence, which was occurring

13

all over the country, but --

14

MRS. ELAINE DULIN CLYATT:

15

(indiscernible)

16

MRS. DULIN:

17

MRS. ELAINE DULIN CLYATT:

Right.

(indiscernible)
Yes.

We stayed

18

very tied in to Lawrence and Dad was actually the

19

chaplain for the Midwestern Music and Art Camp for

20

years.

21

MR. ARNOLD:

Okay.

22

MRS. ELAINE DULIN CLYATT:

We kind of stayed

23

in contact with the Lawrence area, and of course I

24

went back to school there, my husband was born

25

there.

I mean, we have deep roots in the Lawrence

�29

1

area.

2

(15:46:51)

3

MR. ARNOLD:

Okay, very good.

Yes, one thing

4

I wanted to ask, you know, Reverend Dulin had

5

mentioned that when you all came to Lawrence you

6

really didn't see too much open conflict, but I

7

assume the discrimination against

8

African-Americans in Lawrence was pretty apparent

9

from everything we have researched and read about.

10

You know, there was segregation in, not just in

11

housing but also issues with employment and to

12

some extent issues with access to things like

13

swimming pools.

14

obvious or was it a little bit more subtle in

15

Lawrence than say it had maybe been in Texas or

16

other parts of the south?

17

REVEREND DULIN:

Was that kind of segregation

Yes, I think that it was not

18

quite as rampant, but there were incidents of

19

violence that needed to be (indiscernible) and I

20

got involved in that.

21

(15:48:13)

22

MR. ARNOLD:

Did you get involved at all,

23

Reverend Dulin, in the swimming pool issue?

As

24

early as 1960 there had been protests over the

25

fact that African-Americans couldn't get into the

�30

1

local private swimming pool and then it wasn't

2

until late 1967 that the city finally passed a

3

bond to build a public swimming pool, an

4

integrated public swimming pool, but there were

5

several years of struggle over the swimming pool

6

issue.

Do you recall?

Were you involved in that?

7

REVEREND DULIN:

8

MRS. ELAINE DULIN CLYATT:

9

Yes.
Well, Dad, you may

recall it, but we moved to Lawrence in '64.

10

(15:48:56)

11

MR. ARNOLD:

Okay, right.

Were there any

12

other incidents during the time that you were here

13

in Lawrence?

14

very involved in fair housing.

15

social issues that you were involved in or other

16

incidents that you remember that you got involved

17

in trying to address?

18

I know, Reverend Dulin, you were

REVEREND DULIN:

Yes.

Were there other

There were items on

19

the, in the community that would need your

20

attention, people who objected to the

21

appropriateness of the conflict.

22

(15:50:20)

23

MR. ARNOLD:

How would you characterize the

24

environment on campus as far as opportunities for

25

African-American students and their treatment at

�31

1
2
3

K.U.?

Were there many problems on the campus?

REVEREND DULIN:

To my knowledge there were

some problems but I didn't see an outbreak.

4

(15:51:05)

5

MR. ARNOLD:

So at least at that time they

6

weren't serious issues on the campus?

One thing

7

many people have told us in interviews is a lot of

8

the violence that eventually took place on the

9

campuses, that it's difficult to look at it in

10

isolation as being related to racial issues but a

11

lot of it also was anti-war, anti-Vietnam issues

12

as well.

13

REVEREND DULIN:

14

(15:51:32)

15

MR. ARNOLD:

Yes.

But at least up until the time

16

you left the campus it was fairly peaceful, would

17

you say?

18

REVEREND DULIN:

19

(15:51:45)

20

MR. ARNOLD:

21

were in Lawrence?

22

segregated?

Yes.

Where did you all live when you
And was your neighborhood

23

REVEREND DULIN:

24

(indiscernible)

25

REVEREND DULIN:

No.

No.

�32

1
2

MRS. ELAINE DULIN CLYATT:
lived?

3

REVEREND DULIN:

4

MRS. ELAINE DULIN CLYATT:

5

Remember where we

Yes, we lived on -Princeton

Boulevard.

6

REVEREND DULIN:

7

MRS. ELAINE DULIN CLYATT:

8

REVEREND DULIN:

9

then (indiscernible).

10

MRS. DULIN:

Princeton Boulevard?
Yes.

Princeton Boulevard, and

We moved from the, from, we

11

built a house on Princeton Boulevard, the first

12

one, way back when it was so far away from the

13

campus we were spending a lot of gas going back

14

and forth, so we moved to Sunset (indiscernible),

15

2019 Sunset Drive, where (indiscernible) go to

16

school and to the campus and so we were there

17

(indiscernible) the time.

18

(15:52:54)

19

MR. ARNOLD:

Okay, and I assume that

20

neighborhood where you lived was an all-white

21

neighborhood.

22

your neighbors about how they felt about

23

segregated housing and whether they would be happy

24

having African-Americans move into the

25

neighborhood?

Did you ever have discussions with

�33

1

MRS. DULIN:

No, because where we were were

2

all usually professors and grad students and I had

3

a piano studio and most of my students were from

4

the law school, I had about 20 to 28 students

5

there, and we were very close to the elementary

6

school there and so people could walk from the

7

school to my house, (inaudible) but most of it

8

just was, most of the church, at the church and in

9

the studio were connected to the university and

10

completely white.

I don't think, there was no

11

African families in, at our church and so it was

12

really more of a white community but it was

13

connected with professors who were very, very busy

14

with their families and (indiscernible), but we

15

didn't really talk about this with our neighbors

16

that I would think about, but I just, I don't

17

remember.

18

(15:54:36)

19

MR. ARNOLD:

20

MRS. ELAINE DULIN CLYATT:

Right.
My best friend at

21

Hillcrest -- was it Hillcrest Grade School?

22

Was a young woman who was adopted who was Native

23

American and I saw her suffer all kinds of

24

discrimination all the time.

25

(15:54:57)

Yes.

�34

1

MR. ARNOLD:

Okay.

2

MRS. DULIN:

(indiscernible) she would, when

3

we were there that didn't happen.

4

MRS. ELAINE DULIN CLYATT:

5

MRS. DULIN:

6

MRS. ELAINE DULIN CLYATT:

7

MRS. DULIN:

8

Yes, it did, mom.

It did?

Okay.

I was there.

She was one of my

students, too.

9

MR. ARNOLD:

Okay.

10

MRS. DULIN:

I didn't know about this.

11

(15:55:11)

12

MR. ARNOLD:

Well, it's interesting, as we

13

researched some of the groups that were involved

14

in pushing for fair housing, the League of Women

15

Voters, obviously the Fair Housing Coordinating

16

Committee, but there was a very large university

17

community presence in all these organizations.

18

MRS. DULIN:

Right.

19

MR. ARNOLD:

So the university and its

20

community definitely played an important role in

21

pushing for social change, but one interesting

22

observation that Phyllis Sapp made when I

23

interviewed her and her husband was that

24

university people not only came from more diverse

25

backgrounds but also they lived in a somewhat more

�35

1

insulated community and therefore they could be in

2

favor of change without having to worry too much

3

about their job being put at risk or their friends

4

ostracizing them.

5

MRS. DULIN:

6

That's Phyllis.

7

(15:56:15)

8

MR. ARNOLD:

Did you find that to be true?
Yes, yes, that's pretty good.

Yes, whereas if you were a local

9

businessman who maybe favored fair housing if you

10

spoke out publicly you could lose customers, you

11

could have friends who would ostracize you, so

12

they were taking a bigger risk, people like Glenn

13

Kappelman, who was the realtor, and Dick Raney,

14

who was then the mayor and was very much in favor

15

of fair housing but he was a drug store owner.

16

REVEREND DULIN:

17

(15:56:49)

18

MR. ARNOLD:

I remember that.

Well, we are getting close to

19

the one-hour point and I know I have taken up a

20

lot of your time so I don't want to take this on

21

too much longer, and you have been very helpful in

22

sharing some information, but I just wanted to

23

give you, Reverend Dulin and Mrs. Dulin, the

24

opportunity, if there's anything we haven't talked

25

about that you think is important to share, is

�36

1

there anything else you can think of that you'd

2

like to share with me that I haven't asked about?

3
4

MRS. DULIN:

You might put Elaine's name on

your tape here.

5

MR. ARNOLD:

Yes, I --

6

MRS. DULIN:

Her name was Elaine Dulin

7

Clyatt.

The Clyatts were big members of the

8

Methodist Church downtown and so all of that is

9

connected with all of our history, but we enjoyed

10

being in Lawrence, we just would not want, we

11

didn't want to leave, but it was really a

12

wonderful place to be and so that's why I think

13

that all of us came back so many times.

14

MR. ARNOLD:

Right.

15

MRS. DULIN:

We still have relatives, Elaine,

16

her husband's aunt and so we still have

17

connections there.

18

that were there, it's just lovely.

19

(15:58:20)

20

MR. ARNOLD:

I still enjoy all the people

Lawrence is still a wonderful

21

town.

I've lived here for about 11 years and of

22

course those of us who are relative newcomers look

23

at Lawrence as a very progressive university town,

24

and of course it has its free state history, but I

25

don't think many people, if you weren't around at

�37

1

that time, realize how segregated Lawrence was in

2

the 1940s, '50s, and '60s, and often are shocked

3

to hear about it.

4

MRS. DULIN:

5

(15:58:55)

6

MR. ARNOLD:

Well, I'm sure that's true.

I will be sending you all what

7

are called release forms, actually the city will

8

probably be sending them to you, Scott Wagner, who

9

I'm working with at the city, but to have you sign

10

those forms, which just gives the city permission

11

to use this interview for promoting fair housing,

12

and also we are going to archive the interviews at

13

the Spencer Research Library at K.U., so he'll

14

have a form for each of you to sign, and then we

15

are also going to transcribe the interview, and I

16

will make sure the transcriptionist knows everyone

17

who spoke, including you, Elaine, and I appreciate

18

your perspectives as well.

19

Is there anything else you can think of?

20

MRS. ELAINE DULIN CLYATT:

21
22

Is it possible for

us to get a copy of that transcription?
MR. ARNOLD:

Yes, absolutely.

I can e-mail

23

it to you.

I'll be reviewing it after she sees

24

it, and I can also try to e-mail you an audio file

25

if it's not too large, or I can send you a copy of

�38

1

the audio file on a thumb drive or a disk or

2

something.

3
4

MRS. ELAINE DULIN CLYATT:

Yes, that would be

great.

5

MR. ARNOLD:

Okay.

6

MRS. ELAINE DULIN CLYATT:

Dad has 13

7

grandchildren and I just would like to share it

8

with them.

9

MR. ARNOLD:

Yes, I think that would be

10

wonderful, so I will definitely make sure that you

11

get copies of both the transcript and the audio

12

file.

13
14
15

MRS. DULIN:
this.

God bless you, Tom, for doing

It is a beautiful thing for us.

MR. ARNOLD:

Well, thank you for

16

participating.

You know, Reverend Dulin's name

17

came up in almost every one of my interviews for

18

the important role he played and I think that the

19

historical record wouldn't be complete without

20

getting his perspective, so I thank all of you,

21

and him in particular, very much for

22

participating.

23

REVEREND DULIN:

24

MR. ARNOLD:

25

Thank you very much.

Okay.

Thank you, sir, and

thanks again for what you did for Lawrence in your

�39

1

short time here.

2

MRS. DULIN:

Thank you, Tom.

MR. ARNOLD:

All right, thank you.

                  <text>&lt;p&gt;On July 18, 1967, Lawrence mayor Richard Raney signed into law Ordinance 3749, which provided fair housing protections to the citizens of Lawrence and predated the passage of the federal fair housing ordinance by almost a year. The purpose of this oral history project, sponsored by the City of Lawrence to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the ordinance, is to document and capture the memories, roles and issues surrounding the passage of Ordinance 3749.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In May 1961 the Lawrence City Commission established an interracial Lawrence Human Relations Commission (LHRC) to “further amicable [race] relations” and “investigate…practices of discrimination” within the city. Separately, in 1964 various community organizations, including the NAACP and church groups, formed the Lawrence Fair Housing Coordinating Committee (LFHCC). Working together, the LHRC and the LFHCC submitted a proposed fair housing ordinance to the Lawrence City Commission in April 1967 seeking to address discriminatory practices in the sale and rental of homes in the city that effectively perpetuated patterns of racial segregation. Although strongly opposed by the Lawrence Real Estate Board representing local agents, the Fair Housing Ordinance passed the city commission on July 18, 1967. As its stated purpose the ordinance aimed “to provide for the general welfare of the citizens of Lawrence by declaring discriminatory practices in the rental, leasing, sale, financing or showing and advertising of dwelling units, commercial units or real property to be against public policy, and to provide for enforcement thereof.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Approval of Lawrence’s Fair Housing Ordinance predated the signing of the Federal Fair Housing Act by nine months and preceded passage of the Kansas Fair Housing Act by nearly three years. This landmark piece of civic legislation, promoted by a diverse group of concerned residents of a university town that viewed itself as an example of American values to outsiders, including foreign students, and aspired to embody the ideals of its Free-State legacy, addressed discriminatory practices in housing, providing means for victims to seek redress and imposing penalties on violators. The origins, development and importance of this citizen-inspired movement warrants examination and interpretation as the city approaches the 50th anniversary of the passage of the Fair Housing Ordinance of 1967. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Interviews for this project were conducted by Thomas Arnold in the summer and fall of 2016.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

�1919 Red and Black
Manager's Note
The purpose to which this 1919 Red and Black is dedicated cet"tainly justifies any effort on out·
part to make this year's Annual the best L. H. S. has ever turned out. Of course, to accomplish so
great a task as this one has been, required the hearty cooperation of everybody in the school. If out·
effo1-ts have been successful, that is for the reader to decide. The editorial staff certainly has done its
part; it is hoped that the business management has done as well.
In the publishing of such a book as this one, there, are, of course, a great many difficulties to be
overcome and a good many problems to decide.
Our finances have been greatly helped out by the
contributions made by the Senior Play and Budget.
The Seniors gladly paid their individual $2.50
assessment fee, and the organizations whose pictures are reproduced within gladly helped to defray
a pat-t of the expenses in connection with their pictures.
We certainly must publicly thank the Senior Play Cast, the Budget Staff,
especially Le Roi Henry and Phelps Cunningham, for the a1-t work which they
the faculty and students who have cooperated in the book's production, and the
advertised herein; and hope that every loyal L. H. S. student will look through
and give the advertisers first choice in business transactions.

PAUL ENDACOTT,
Business Manager.

Editorial Note
The Annual staff unanimously voted to dedicate this volume of the Reel and Black to the memory of
those L. H. S. boys who have given their lives that we may go to school.
In accordance with the memorial idea, we decided that this Annual coul&lt;.l have no better purpose
than that of reminding every L. H. S. student of the happy days he spent in high school. Therefore we
have tried our best, and put forth every effort to make this volume a memory book to be cherished
forever.
After careful thought and planning, the book was finally arranged and printed. This year's staff
has introduced two entirely new departments into the Annual, namely, the Senior Section, and the
Depa1-tment Section. We have devoted a department to the Seniors, because it is the Senior class which
has made such a book possible.
It was at first our idea to have a faculty picture, and short write-ups of the teachers, but afte1·
consideration it was decided to have group pictures taken of those teachers, in the school's 1·espective
departments, with stories of these departments, thus giving a condensed idea of the curriculum of
L. •H. S. · Hence the Department Section.

Every member of this ye.ar's staff has put his most conscientious labor into his work and each
editor has tried to make his department better than it has ever been before. The Budget staff has
greatly helped to make this book a memot·y volume, with their donation of the money which made
the cartoons possible. We have put our best into this book, and hope that every L. H. S. student will
get as much enjoyment from it, as the staff has had in preparing it.

�The High School Song
(Tunc-Crimson and the Blue)

See that stateh- towered old school house
Standing -plain to view.
'Tis the dear old Lawrence High School
Alma :\later trur.
CHORUS

H ail, all hail! Our Alma l\ Iater
H ail dear L. H. S.!
" ' e bear thee a love so fervent
It can ne'er grow less.
In her halls we've .toi led and gloried
In our victories too,
And to her our Alma l\'later,
Always we'll be true.
CHORUS

And when we've passed on and others
Take our places here,
:May they lift their strong young voices
In one glorious cheer.
C H OR US

H arold Chalkley, 'os.

�This is the dear old Alma ~ I ater, as the class of 19 19 ltaves her. Of course it
is old fashio ned, poo rl ~· venti lated, badly lighted, a nd sadly equipped . ll oll'evcr this
class lovt~s it. Probably o n ly o ne mo re class ll'ill be g rad uated from this build ing,
for soon the nt'll' Liberty II igh School will be completed, when· no student or clas~
will suffer the handicap.; caused by the lack of equipment in the present place.

.\ Ianual is almost as big a part of an L. I I. S. student's life, as is L. H. S.
herself. But like L. H . S. the ~fanua l Bui ld ing is too inefficient a nd out of date to
serve the uses of a h igh school an y more; so the new Li ber ty l l igh w ill embody all
the dcpartmen ts noll' found in the old .\l a n ua l.

�SUPT. R. A. KENT
Mr. Kent understands us too, almost as well as "Pap." He
deals with us as man to man, and never fail s to see the students'
s ide of a question. He helped to put tht'l "Liberty H igh" campaign ac1·os.s, and has done many other things which have won
the admiration and respect of all L. H. S. students.

" PAP"
To "Pap," who has been our guide for
four years, we owe more than anyone
else; all that has made our high school
life successful and happy. The ancients
used to say to a wise and loved ruler,
"0 King, live forever!" To "Pap'' Olney,
with his ready sympathy, understanding
and humor, we who are passing from under his care, say, "0, Pap, live forever!"

�MR. GEORGE INNES
Mr. Innes has endeared himself to the students of L. H. S.
more than ever this year. The "flu" prevented his giving his
annual banquet to the football team, but this loss was more
than compensated by the magnificent banquet given for both
the basketball and football teams. Mr. Innes decorated the
"Spirity of Liberty High'' float in the Memorial parade. Within
the last four years he has given two loving cups to the Girls'
Basketball teams. He is always a loyal s upporter of Hi-Y
activities.

ANNA S . HIMOE
Mrs. Himoe didn't want to
be in the Annual, but we put
he r in anyway, because she
is so much a part of each of
our daily lives, that no
"memory book," as this Annual is, would be complete
without her. We hope she
will give good permits to all
our little brothers and sisters,
as ~ he has to us.

�The Class of 1919
Of the class of '19, so valorous and bold,
In this worthy book many deeds are told.
(The Juniors think themselves a class worth while,
But the Seniors outclass them by many a mile;
The Sophs speak in whispers when' we are near
And the Freshmen behold us with awe and with fear).
Never class before us has been so glorious;
In every contest we've been all-victorious;
·With "Westie" and Paul we've shone in ,,],, _, ; _"
While Liz, Annie, and Leona boosted dramatics;
And "Higgie," our president, as all can tell,
Has starred in all things, and has led us well.
Of course a class of such great renown
Has so many more members known to fame
That it's not needful to publish each name.
Five names as Honor Students we've handed down,
That on-coming classes may know and acclaim
The class of '19, who played a great game.
Now few in sadness from L. H. S. part;
Still the ties of good comradeship cling to each heart.
And as ne~ worlds open, new interests bringing,
To L. H. S. ever true, we'll ever be singing:
"Hail, all hail, our Alma Mater,
Hail, dear L. H. S.
We bear thee a love so fervent
It can ne'er grow less."
-MILDRED McGUFFEY.

�Class History
One cool rainy September morning in
the year 1915, there was ushered in to Lawrence high school a new class. History now
correctly has it, that that class, commonly
called the class of 1919, is the greatest class
ever graduated from L. H. S. Look here,
look there, those "Nineteeners," seem to be
everywhere; the leaders in the famous school
spirit, the leaders of athletics, at the top in
public speaking, unexcelled in dramtics, and
the right hand of the ready future.
'
Lawrence high school, and the people
of Lawrence will not for years forget the
ability of that class of "19," in dramatics.
The first farce, "!Bicyclers," was presented by
them in the freshman year at a masquerade party. This farce was coached by Mary
Harold West, a former faculty member.
William Engel's part, a comedian, was particularly outstanding. "A Bunch of Roses,"
was the second attempt, which was given at the first term party of the Sophomore year. It was such a
success that it was by request, repeated for the "Big Circus of 1916." "Who's Who," was presented for
the second Sophomore farce. The Junior year's social success was the Junior Prom. With Elizabeth
Dunkel as manager it was a credit to the class. The Prom was . held in the new Congregational Parish
house, which was decorated with the class colors, and flowers. A splendid three course dinner was served
by the Sophomore girls. The very clever farce "The Heirs-At-Law," was given on the church stage, as
a climax to the seniors' entertainment. The crowning feature of the four years in dramatics, was the
senior play, "Green Stockings." It was produced by an able cast of twelve, on the Bowersock stage.
Annie Mitchell, the leading lady, who was later elected the prettiest girl in high school, was a brilliant
success. Every part was well held; and by the excellent coaching of Mrs. Harold L. Butler, the play was
considered well produced. Although the night of March 24th was stormy, the theatre was well filled.
The girls of the class of nineteen have always been "up and coming" in athletics. Although they
have never won an inter-class tournament they have always put up a good scrap. Louise Phillips,
Esther Knop, and Cecil Hale are the three seniors on this year's girls' basketball team. "Doc" Phillips
was captain.
Lawrence High's first girl cheerleader, Elizabeth Dunkel, is a member of our class and it is officially
reported in athletic circles that Wilma Miller, another senior, is the girls' champion bicycle rider of the
world.
Nor have the boys of nineteen been slackers in athletics. Ever since we became Freshmen, members
of our class have been prominent as basket-ball, foot-ball, track and tennis stars.
In 1915, "Hap" Frye, who left school to go to war, although only a freshman, was rated as the best
football player in school. Our Freshman basket-ball team, Houk, Eastman, Putriam, Walthers and Higgins succeeded in defeating the haughty Juniors; and our base-ball team, Burton, Neff, Houk, Putnam, Miles, Coffman, Beery, Williams, Eastman and Higgins took third place in the interclass baseball
league, putting the proud Seniors of that year in the "cellar'?.
Our athletic prestige increased greatly in our

has followed the "straight and narrow path"-the Reverend K. Hoskms Constant!

meet and Dolson Beery, c·a ptain o~ 'll,e fennis team, was recognized as the school'sbest "racketeer."
The members of the class who made athletic reputations in their Senior year are so many that only
a brief summary is possible here. All of the athletic ~earns had Seniors for captains; the two Lawrence
basketball players who made the "all state" were Semors; and the three Lawrence track men who placed
in the "interscholastic" were Seniors.
Under the leadership of Severt Higgins as president the Senior class was carefully piloted through
turmoil and trouble, unto the day of graduation. The president has had the honor of being a renowned
athlete, the public speaker of the school, and a dramatic star. "H\lrrah for Higgins!" When the war's
cry for patriots was heard, one of the first organizations to respond to the call was the class of "19."
Many of her men joined the colors, and those that could not go, paid for a Liberty Bond, to support their
share of the government, and their fighting classmates. A great deal of honor is due Mahlon Weed the
first member of the A. E. F. to return to the class. Besides making an enviable record in France, he has
more than distinguished himself since his return.
They adopted a French War Orphan, and paid one-half more of his allotment, than was expected.
The Senior breakfast, the picnic, the class-day exercises, and commencement are on the last of
the "19" program. Finally graduation day will see the class of 1919, start into the problem of life.
One glorious class, that of 1919.
K. C., '19.

�Patriotic Work

War Orphan
Pierre Ferre, the French war orphan adopted by the Class
of '19, was born July 31, 1914. Mrs. O'Leary made the arrangements for the "adoption" last term. The s um necessary to support the orphan was $37.00, and the cla ss r aised this sum to
$42.50 by voluntary subscriptions. The following is the translation of a letter received:
My dear Guardian:
I thank you sincerely for your kind letter and for what you
are sending which I have not yet received, but which will not be
long delayed.
I am truly happy that you have chosen me for your god
child and I hasten to send you my photograph which I assure
you is that of an obedient little boy. Please accept also the
thanks of my mother, who has been much touched by your letter. I beg you to write soon to the following address:

class has not definitely decided for what purpose the bond shall be used. However, either of the
following plans has been suggested. One of the plans is to turn the bond over to the fund for the

�Class Prophecy
An Interlude
Twenty Years After
(With all apologies to Alexander Dumas.)
CHARACTERSMrs. Gossup-Dorothea Roberts.
Mrs. Gadabout-1Wilma Miller.
TIME-Spring of 1939.
PLACE-Mrs. Gossup's study, Lawrence, Kans.
(Furniture and costuming, the Period of 1939.)
When the scene opens, Mrs. Gossup is at
the typewriter making a great ra.::ket and wasting a good deal of energy. (Note.-She is using the "Hunt and Peck" system.)
(The doorbell is suddenly heard above the
din.)
Mrs. GOSSUP (hitting !* ?@$!1 in rapid succession)-Ye Gods! There's the bell! I shall never get
this article on "Man's Place in the Home" finished. (She goes out and immediately ushers in Mrs.
Gadobut, who is very much excited.)
Mrs. GADABOUT-My dear 1 I've had such a shock! Who do you think just stopped me in the
street begging for alms? The most disreputable loOking creature!
Mrs. GOS.-Why-who--?
Mrs. GAD.-Severt Higgins !
Mrs. GOS. (sits suddenly)-What! Not-not our Class President at old L. H. S. ? ·
Mrs. GAD. (sitting)-Yes! Higgie or Carcass or whatever you want to call him. He _had such
a mess of names. But I'm not so surprised now that I've had time to think it over. Severt was
always late! I suppose he finally missed his last chance.
Mrs. GOS.-It's so sad, tho. Isn't it astonishing and •depressing when you think how our brilliant Class of 1919 has declined? So much was expected of it. Why! there's Elizabeth Dunkel, one
of our most prominent classmates, playing at the Patee!
Mrs. GAD.-Well-Lizz was always good at ragtime. Remember how she could sing and play
"I ain't got nobody much"?
Mrs. GOS.-I was just looking at our old 1919 Red and Black the other day and I ran across
that ridiculous Senior Play picture where Dave Mackie is the center of attraction. He looks just
about the same now in his theatrical group pictures-only he's surrounded by a bevy of chorus
girls.
Mrs. GAD.-Yes! I hear he's coming to the Bowersock next fall in "The Ziegfield Follies of
1938". They say he's quite a star.
Mrs. GOS.-Why, I believe William Anderson and Ruth Spotts are in the same show. Their
specialty is an Apache dance.
Mrs. GAD.-What! Why, Ruth Allen and Dorothy White are chorus girls in the. Follies, too.
My, how the old nineteeners have degenerated! Such frivolity!
Mrs. GOS.-Oh! But they're not all so trifling. Didn't you know that Grace Derby had "taken
the veil"? She's in the Saint Ursula Convent in Los Angeles.
Mrs. GAD.-Why, what became of Warren Wynn?
Mrs. GOS.-Oh, he went to Salt Lake City on a visit,-the Mormons converted him,-and he
now has nine wives. That's why Grace took the veil.
. Mrs. GAD.-How dreadful! Then I see she didn't have a very high motive-that- of sel:&amp;.sacrifice.
Mrs. GOS.-Na-But there's Cecil Hale! She has gone to Alaska as missionary to the Eskimos.
Mrs. GAD.-Not really! Well, I hope she gets enough sleep up there. She used to be sleepy
·all the time. They have nine months of darkness in every year in Alaska.
Mrs. GOS.-Why, how you do talk! But we are forgetting another of our classmates who also
. as followed the "straight and narrow path"-the Reverend K. Hoskins Constant!
Mrs. GAP.-Yes, I just heard him in Kansas City the other day lecturing at a W. C. T. U.
meeting on "The Evils of Letting Your Daughter Jazz". One of his most impressive arguments _
was the fact that there ·i s-a $25 fine (plus war tax) for jazzing.
Mrs. GOS.-And a very good argument it is. Did you read in the "Bolsheviki" the other day
about the large fortur;e George Roberts E sterly inherited from his uncle? It said he was intending
to spend it all to have his voice cultivated. He's going in for Grand Opera.
Mrs. GAD.-Didn't I hear something about the great prima donna Aimee Piper's taking George
Roberts as her protege? She was so charmed by his voice, and saw such good qualities in it.
Mrs. GOS.-As I remember it-there was more quantity than quality.
Mrs. GAD.-Did you know that Beatrice Abrams has signed a contract to make records only
for the "Sissonola Company"?
Mrs. GOS.-Oh! don't let me forget to play Charles' latest record on the Sissonola for you before you go. It's not everyone who can boast complimentary records from the Great Sisson himself!
Mrs. GAD.-I went to the best concert up at Robinson Gym the other night. Loraine Nelson,
the noted pianist, played Joyce Hoff's latest collection of compositions-"The Tales of Hoff".
Mrs. GOS.-There was a lot of genius in our class, wasn't there? Now look at Katie Strong!
I just read her last book entitled "Helpful Devices for Killing Time-When and How to Use Them,"
but it was most too deep for me.
Mrs. GAD.-And there's Dolson Beery writing the Children's Bedtime Stories for the Kansas
City Star, now.

�'Mrs. GOS.-Oh!

that reminds me. Corinne is trying to get somebody to talk to the children
next Saturday at the Library, Children's Hour. I wonder if she could get Dolson?
Mrs. GAD.-Whenever I think of Corrine Constant's being Head Librarian here, I can hardly
restrain my mirth. How she used to rave around about the way Miss Edwards got after us!
And now she · herself has those little High School children completely cowed.
They're scared to
death of her!
Mrs. GOS.-Yes! She had a little kid up in court the other day. He stripped the tulip beds
out in front of the Library. But Paul O'Leary handled the boy's case and got him out of the
scrape in fine shape.
Mrs. GAD.-You know, I thought Paul wou'd be an aviator instead of a lawyer-he was always so up in the air.
_
Mrs. GOS.-Well! I can tell you who is up in the air now, and that's Francis Gregory, since
he made all his money on that new chemical discovery of his. You would think he was a man of
a million airs instead of a millionaire.
Mrs. GAD.-He ought to put his millions in the Lawrence National Bank for safe keeping.
With Victor Brown as president and originator of the Komback coins, which he uses to a great extent in it, it's quite reliable.
Mrs. GOS.-Victor i.s thinking of retiring. He says he can't stand the smell of Sam Elliot's
cooking over at the Eldridge House.
Mrs. GAD.-! don't blame him! The cooking is abominable! And such service as they have!
But then-what can you expect with Louise Hill head waitress?
~
·
Mrs. GOS.-Oh, I forgot to ask you if you went to Morton Nelson's "Oyster House" the last
time you were in New York?·
Mrs. GAD.-Yes. They say he makes oysters his specialty in the hope that some day he'll
find a pearl in one.
Mrs. GOS.-Did you see many of your old friends on your trip?
Mrs: GAD.-Oh, I saw Laura Adair in Wanamaker's. She's a mannikin.
Mrs. GOS.-And did you look up Edwina Ware and Marjorie Deitrich? They're running the
Subway in New York.
Mrs. GAD,-No! I was afraid to ride on the Subway! But I did run into Leona Baumgartner
up on Fifth .Avenue one day. She's the well known model for all the dental advertisements. She's
so very popular that she won't make a contract with any one Tooth Paste producer.
Mrs. GOS.-She does have beautiful teeth. I suppose somebody got hold of that Dramatic
Club picture in which Leona is smiling so charmingly, and started her on her career.
Mrs. GAD.-Yes, and l saw the Great Civic Reformer, Elizabeth Sutton, while I was there.
She was heading a "Protect the Fly" campaign.
Mrs. GOS.-What do you think of this Anti-Chewing Gum Drive that Reba Donaghey is promotor of?
Mrs. GAD.--Oh, I don't know! I never chew-but I remember that Bernice Cook used to
claim that gum was quite a good thing; it made your speech more clear.
. Mrs. GOS.-By the way-how is Bernice getting along at the Phi Psi House? Can she manage them?
Mrs. GAD.-Wonderfully well. The Phi Psis are crazy about her. She's the most popular
house mother on the Hill.
Mrs. GOS.-Isn't it surprising how many L. H. S. students stuck to the University life?
There's Clarence Houk-head of the Department of Entomology.
Mrs. GAD.-Yes, but he always was such a bookworm.
Mrs. GOS.-And George Wilbur is Professor of Domestic Art.
Mrs. G.AD.-Did you know that Mildred McGuffey is Dean of Women now, since Miss Corbin's gone?
·
Mrs. GOS.-No? Well! Well!
Mrs. GAD.-That Normal Training Course that they had at -L. H. S. must have been a good one.
Helen Ingalls is teaching the Indians painting lessons out at Haskell.
Mrs. GOS.-Mary Landon and Denca Curd both have good positions at the Normal in Emporia.
Mrs. GAD.-But then I thought there. would be more teaching her e-the 'nducements are so
great--but there's only Louise Knop a~d Viola Tucker and Gertrude Lee-and they're at Liberty
High. I wonder how they get along. with the new Superintendent, Ernest Brown.
Mrs. GOS.-Oh, splendidly!-But they have quite a time with the janitrix, Louise Phillips. You
know, she always did have a hot temper.
Mrs. GAD.-Isn't it fine how many of our girls have got out into the business world? There's
Mildred Maxwell running that enormous Overall Factory in Chicago.
Mrs. GOS.-She has always had a secret fancy for overalls, I think! Remember that picture
of her in the 1919 Red and Black?
Mrs. GAD.-She has all women employees in her factory. Edith Ernst and Edith Olson have
very responsible jobs in it. They sew on the. buttonholes.
Mrs. GOS.-And women have found their place in politics now, too. Senator R. Manter just
proposed a bill in the Senate the other day to ab :&gt;!ish the war tax on Eclairs. I do hope it passes.
Mrs. GAD.-Ruby was very fond of Eclairs in the old days, too.
Mrs. GOS.-Helen Shaw was elected Speaker of the House last week!- It was rather unexpected; Helen never used to talk much.
Mrs. GAD.-I'm afraid Norris Stauffer will n 'lVer get anywhere in politics r unning against the
women-altho they say he's climbing right up as a prominent member of the Know Nothing Party.
Mrs. GOS.-Talking about climbing up makes me think of elevators. Irene Creel scared me to
death the other day in Innes'-the way she runs that elevator!
Mrs. GAD.-Oh, Esterine Copeland is an elev atress, too. Doesn't she work in Jonathan Rigdon's big "Blouse . Shop" in Eudora now?
·
Mrs. GOS.- I believe so. Has Keith been down from Eudora lately peddling his ladies' accessories? I need a new hair net, and Keith's invisible hair nets are the best ones I've had for a
long time.
·
Mrs. GAD.-Did you ever use any of his humpless hairpins? They're very good.
Mrs. GOS.-Keith's quite a success as a traveling salesman, but he wasn't feeling very well

�the last time he was down. I directed him to Dr. Eliot Havekotte in Topeka. He's a specialist in
heart trouble. I thought he might be able to do Keith some good.
Mrs. GAD.--Did Paul Sidney Endacott ever become a doctor as he had planned?
Mrs. GOS.-What! Didn't you know? Why, Paul Sidney Endacott, poor man, is an inmate at
Osawatomie--one of their most serious cases. You know, Paul had too much on his mind his last
year in L. H. S. and he couldn't stand the strain.
Mrs. GAD.-And Armin Woestemeyer? I haven't heard of him for 20 years.
Mrs. GOS.-Oh, he's been in a "Home for the Homeless" since Lizz turned him down.
Mrs. GAD.-None of the· cases at L. H. S. turned out well, did they? There's that sensational divorce case of Mahlon and Annie! He lias brought suit against her for lack of supportand poor Annie wrote me the other day that - she couldn't think of another reading to give, she had
gone over the Orpheum Circuit so many times.
Mrs~ GOS.-It's written up so dreadfully in that horrid yellow paper of Carey Rogers'!
Mrs. GAD.-Oh, Paul Patterson is Editor-in-Chief, so what can you expect?
Mrs. GAD.-Madam'selle Charlotte Cutter is conducting her Matrimonial Agency with great
success. She has brought about the union of sev 3ral lonely souls in happy marriage. Horace Glidden and Ada Chadwick are two striking examples -and then there's Thelma Stoddard and Harold
Dodds.
Mrs. GAD.-But all the poor mortals who ne ·ver found their way to the agency! Have you
heard of that pathetic delegation of oldf .maids-Erna Seidel, Ethel Smith, Hazel Wiggins, and Bernice Graeber, and Mary Chase-that have gone to Afghanistan to find the missing link in the theory that "Man Has Sprung from the Monkey"?
Mrs. GOS.-Speaking of theories, have you heard of Cleo Rinehart's new one? He claims that
the moon is not made of cream cheese, as everyone has thought all along, but of plain Cottage
Cheese, made of the milk from the "Milky Way". The creamy color is caused by the reflection of
the sun's rays from the other side of the globe.
Mrs. GAD.-Why, how wonderful! I see yo '1 have the new Woman's Home Companion. I
con't care much about it anymore, since Junior Alli:;.on manages it.
Mrs. GOS.-Yes, but Ouida Lee has some very good articles in it on "Hints for Housewives".
Mrs. GAD.- I like the Cosmopolitan, tho, especially since Nadine Morrison writes the "Fables
in Slang".
Mrs. GOS.-And the illustrations that Phillip Pontius draws for them are too good for expression.
Mrs. GAD.-Did you ever hear such express ion a~ Waldo Crowder has in his last volume of
''Love Poems"?
Mrs. GOS.-Never! Hazel Smith used them in her philanthropic work in Germany. She read
them to the Germans to try to melt their hardened hearts.
Mrs. GAD.-Well! I'll tell you who has a hard heart-and that's Ruth Gorden, since she has
become such a notorious 'Secret Service woman. She got hold of that rumor you know, about Billy
Engel's keeping a bar out on the Pacific within the three-mile limit. She's hot on his trail, but the
saloon is in the form of a submarine and Billy is so clever that he manages to submerge every time
she gests in his vicinity.
(A hair pin drops out.)
Oh, dear; I just had my hair washed at Madame Banker's this morning and I can't do a
thing with it.
·
Mrs. GOS.--Velma's lovely hair is certainly a good advertisement for her Beauty Shop.
Mrs. GAD.-I should say so.
Oh! I just happened to think what I came her, for. Wouldn't you like to go up to the Saturday Morning Dancing School with me next week and learn some of the riew dances?
Mrs. GOS.-Oh, but-I- Mrs. GAD.-Oh, it's perfectly all right now since Ila McPherson has charge of the class. But
if you have any objections, we might motor out to Mary Bucheim's and Lloyd Bigsby's Jazz House
out at Midland-it's perfectly respectable.
Mrs. GOS.-I simply couldn't go. I have so much club work on my hands now that I have to
do. (Looks helpLessly at typewriter.)
Mrs. GAD. (rising indignantly)-Well! I'm so sorry if I've been keeping you from your work.
Good-day! (Aside, as she goes out.) These busy club women tending · to everybody's business
but their own in their innumerable articles on all sorts of what-not. (Exits.)
Mrs. GOS.--Thank heavens! that chatter box has gone. She talks all the time . and I do hate
to gossip so.
(She goes to typewriter and hits !* ?@$ as the curtain falls.)

Once upon a time, in that faraway land of Amer.i ca, in that part of the country called Kansas; there
was a city of note and renown. Long years ago when it was nothing more than a village, its inhabitant. chose to call it Lawrence, and so it has remained until this day. It prospered and grew, nestled
there in the valley of the Kaw River; but most marvelous and noteworthy was the growth of that institution of advanced learning, the High School.
At first it started small, as all schools must start, but ere long it was not only a force in the city,
but its influence was felt in all the land.
There was one person who stayed by the school through thick and thin, who promoted, encouraged
and watched the advancement. Each year he enrolled a new class and each year he sent a class out
of the school prepared to meet the &gt;vhole world.
In the fall of 1915, there came a group of boys and girls into the school for the first time, who
aroused the interest of all observers. The man who enrolled these boys and girls ·turned in his revolving chair, watched them go into class, and was amazed; for there was seriousness and determination
written on every face.
Doubtless the reason was that those were war days. A great war was raging in lands across the
sea and this class realized it.
During the first two years in the school, the class did its work thoroughly and well. The war
grew worse, but this class paused in its routine of study to give liberally to the starving Belgians
and to render any other war service possible.
Then, in the spring of '17 America hesitated, trembled, and for a moment seemed to pause, for
the country had entered the great war.
But this class pushed on with greater. determination toward the desired goal. It was a harder
goal now, and more tasks must be met. The country called for men and money with no regard to school
or class. Boys went out from the school with no hesitation when they were called and many went of
their own choosing.
Money was called for in Liberty Monds, Thrift Stamps, and Baby Bonds. As individuals the class
responded wonderfully, not only in buying, but in canvassing the town and making public speeches.
The class took out a fifty dollar bond to be left as a memorial to the school. In Red Cross work it
never missed an opportunity to do work of any kind.
Still the war cloud grew darker. News came that some of the boys from the school would never
return and the class became more serious.
Suddenly, in the fall of '18, peace came to the world. Then the class became serious in the task
of reconstruction. It adopted a French War Orphan and put forth every effort to secure the Liberty
lf1!!'h School memorial to the boys who gave their lives in th e great war.
In the spring of '19 th e class was ready to leave the Lawrence /High School with her heroes coming
back from the war, peace throughout the land, and a record behind her such as no other class has ever

had.

F\RANKLIN REDING.

A fortune tellel' Rat gazing languidly at her crystal globe, wherein she could see the progress of the
various clas ses of L. H. S. as they passed from their fre shman to senior year-and di s:1ppeared. Suddenly she leaned forward and gazed spell-bound at what she saw in the crystal, for it was the class of
'20 passing in panorama before her.
She saw them enter L. H. S. as freshmen, an enterprising class. striving· from the very first to
gain the highest honors that their school offered.
She saw their president, James O'Bryon, win for his
class first prizes in both the short story contest, and the cartoon contest. She saw them making merry
at their first party, th e Freshman Frolic, and again at a par ty where th ey gave a farce.
Then as Sophomores, ;vith Theodore Olson, their president, she witnessed their many triumphs, in
supporting athletics, and all school activities, in giving a remarkable masquerade, and best of all in
liberally contributing to the Red ·Cross.
·
As Juniors they had for president Charles Banning, football star. She noticed first of all that th ey
gave liberally, as individuals, to all war work funds. The class had becom e more serious now, realizing
that a great war must be won in Europe. Frivolous things were put a side. Then in November the
war was won. Still the members of the class kept on donating liberally to f unds for relief in the devastated countries. The Junior Class noticeably pushed all school activities, and some of the school's best
athletes were Juniors. In the spring a prom was given to the !Seniors.
Brilliantly beautiful in its
decorations, and highly entertaining in its farce,' the prom was declared the best ever:
Here a veil dropped over the panorama passing before her. But she leaned eagerly forward and
her sharp eyes were able to pierce th e veil so as to allow her to see far enough into the future to rest
assured that her prodigious class of '20 would so far disting uish itself in its Senior year as to remain
always a fond memory of L. H. S.

Once upon a tim e some Boys and Girls who call ed themselves the Class of '21 did boldl y take th eir
stand at th e entran ce of the Great Institution kno wn a s L. H. S. They chose a Boy for Presicknt, w ho
decreed th at th e socia l life of the Class should be fi1 st in their Thoughts.
At t he first party th e cla ss experienced Bump One. It then so happened that thi s Ambitiou s Class
made plan s with Great Deliberation fo r a picn ic, whi ch n ever happened. It was there, al as ; th at they
experienced .Bump Two.
It was 1Rumored far and wide th at Th ey had asp irations for th e Stage.
they planned to give did not m aterialize. B ump Three and out.

However, the pl ay which

In th eir Second year thi s Ambitiou s Cla ss started out dauntl essly with a Girl for President.
Now it came about that thi s Great In st itution known as L. H. S. bethought itself of some way by
w hi ch it could best honor its Soldi er Boys. It thought, and thought, until fi nall y som e Great Mind sugges ted a ne w High Schoo l.
"Agreed ," said th ey all, and to furthe r their Sche me they plann ed to Float through the To wn on
'Trucks for the ben efit of the town speopl e.
No w it happe ned that thi s Illu striou s Class beg a n to set its wits to work, and e1·e the Grea t Da y
had passed th e fact dawn ed u pon th e world a t large that the Cla ss of '21 had won Second Pr ize in th e
Great Procession. Shock One. Then did th eir frie nd s gaze upon th em with Great Admiration, and it
was even r umored that th e ir Presid ent would som e day be Suffragette Re prese nt ative to congr ess f rom
Kan sas.
At last t he World was a t Their F eet, and a Gloriou s Futu l'e awaited Th em .
" All things come to the m t h at get Bumped."

Once upon a time, not very long ago, in a prosperous town in the middle west, on the banks of
the Kaw River, where people from the surrounding country came fo r education, there came to the
high school a class that has already gone long on the way toward showing the school its ability.
During the long winter months of that first year, these pupils made themselves a necessary part
of the high school. In all the school activities they took a pr ominent part, showi ng their worth in every
way. They readily joined in the various demonstrations of tru e high school spirit.
In football their class showed up esp ecially we ll, having several mem bers on the t eam. At the
basketball tournam ent they were there and a lways r eady to boost th e players.
When th e Liberty
Memorial High School campaign was on this class did their part in taking up the new high school of
which they were later so proud . The t eachers wondered at them a nd the upperclassmen were amazed
at them.
In the big .parade which was for the purpose of boosting the n ew high school, their float was an
airplane, which symbolizes "to rise." This class k ept their motto the first year, and resolved to do
the same the n ext.

The Annual st a ff was appointed soon after the beginning of the second term , so that the various editors might U:oroughly understand, and prepare them selves for t heir variou s departm ents. One
big m eeting of th ·~;;e editors was held soon after th eir appointments, where plans for the Red and
Black were discussed. Here it was decided to make everything in th 2 volume carry out the idea of
memories. The idea of a Senior Section and Primer was also planned. All of the editors upon
finding out what was ex pected of their departments set to work earn e:;tly. The r esult was that in
co-operation with the editor they succeeded in getting the whole thing· rea dy, so that every piece of
copy was at the Journal -World by the specified time.
The business manager deserves great credit for the part h e has clon e in making this book a
s uccess. H e atte.nd 2d to all the pictures, engravings, and business side of the enterprise. The fact
that th(: class of 1919 put out an Annual actually costing $1.60, for 75 cents, is due to the careful
management a11d dose fi ~ urin l? of !'~l!! Endacott.

When we fir st met, December third,

And put them over, like a man.

And off it we nt with never a woe.
We planted eighteen maples, strong and s turdy in a row,
On Massachu setts street, wh er e we ex pect the n ew "hig h" to g r ow.
Th e memorial f und of three hundred dollars,
For liberty High, we lent to the scholars.
One of us man ag ed the carnival that raised us f rom dej ec tion.
Then did we unite and manage th e ekctior.
For the girl to r epresent the spirit of Liberty High.
W e decided to g ath er papers whi ch you so of t en eye,
A nd then to the fire threw th e m to burn and die.
W e al s o planned to have a class day in th e spring
Wher e they may compete in track and all that sort of thi ng .
A property bo x we say we also have,
Wh ere we ma y put all things you wish to save
From the parti es which about the high school rave.
T o g ive two student chapels wa s our highest aim,
In that we were successful-you all must claim,
And proud we a re that our me mbers attend :
And 'ti s h er e that our votes and s uggestions blend;
For when we figured what per cent were there,
W e found we had eighty-we think that was rare.

The Budget is completing its second year a s a newspaper. Last May, it received second place in
the first annual high school newspaper contest, conducted by the department of industrial journalism at
Kansas State Agricultural College.
The paper is the product of a laboratory class, composed of stud ents who write with some distinction, and have expressed a wish to do the work.
The business and editorial staffs receive graduation
credit for the work. Class a nd other organization reporters are elected by their respective group s.
Reporters rece ive no school credit for their work, the position being a class honor.
The aim of the Budget is to picture the wurk and the play of the students for four classes of
readers: The students th emselves, their parents, a lumni of the school, and students who expect to
enter Lawrence High School. Moreover, while the school has no a uditorium where more than half of
the student body can assemble, the school paper is a common meeting ground, where policies and plans
may be advertised.
The first issu e of the year was published on the first clay of school, 1September 16. This was a
complimentary issue and was distributed to a ll students in High School and Intermediate School.
Despite interruptions caused by the influenza epidemic, the Budget has lost no tim e, nor deprived its
subscribers of an y issues. During two enforced vacations, the paper was published and delivered on
schedule time. Another achievement, which has attracted the notice of other schools, was a special
edition of the Budget on March 21 to boost the proposition of voting $230,000 in bonds for the erection
of a new high school. The bonds carried two to one and the Liberty Memorial High School, which will
be a reality within t wo years, will be a monument to the eighteen high school boys who died in service.
In the new school, there will naturally be a print shop . The school print shop, besides furnishing
valuable vocational training, will enab le the Budget to become a weekly instead of a fortnightly
paper. When this ambition is realized the paper will become a more important factor in school life
than a fortnight ly paper can be.

The Normal Training Club was organized in January, 1919, for the purpose of unifying the students
in the differ ent normal training classes, building up an enthu siastic department spirit, providing some
·jolly good times for its members, and also for studying some of the problem s which confront the school
teacher and which a crowded course of study would not allow the classes to consider during regular
periods.
The membership of the club is thirty. Meetings have teen held every other W ednesday afternoon, and have been interesting, profttable, and well attended. Several of the programs have been devoted to a study of play and recreation in the rural school. Plans have been made for laying out
and equipping an ideal playground, and games s uitable both to outdoors and indoors have been played.
Mis::\ Deming has taught the club several folk dances as well as end ball and other games, in the
gymnasium .
A part of each meeting has been devoted to th e singing of songs s uitable for u se in the rural
school, and through the !Sophomores we have kept in touch with the work which is being carried forward in the class in Handwork.
We a ppreciate the importance of these meetings from a professional standpoint, but we value no
less the jolly social times that have drawn u s closer together. Monthly gatherings have been held in
the evenings at which several very clever stunts have been given, and thoroughly good times enjoyed.
One of the most successful gatherings was a theatre party at which a shadow play, "The Modern
Ballad of Mary Jane," was staged by club members. On St. Patrick's Day the club members gathered, all wearing the green, and enjoyed an abundance of Irish wit and f un. With the coming of
spring, picnics took the place of parties.
The members feel that the norm al training club has proved a great success during its first year
from the standpoint of good fe llo wship and pleasant times together, a s well as from the educational
standpoint. It has a promising outlook for the future.

Although the school year has been broken into a great deal, and the r egular meeting time
changed, th e Y. W. C. A. has been very successful in all of its und ertakin gs.
A Y. W. C. A. meeting has been held every Thursday, either association, cabinet or all-committee. P erhaps one of the most successf ul m eetings of the year was the "J ust Between You and
Me" meeting, wh ich was held at Annie Mitchell's home.
A membership campaign was held in th e fall and after this contest closed th e Y. W . C. A. and
Hi-Y held th eir annual joint banquet in January.
The Y. W. played a very important part in th e "Whizz Bang!" There they put on a stunt,
a nd ran both an ice cream booth and a candy booth. These booths cleared $15.65.
Because of the man y interruptions to school work cau sed by influenza, th e Y. W. girls were
not permitted to attend th e Conference at Hutchinson; but in April a "Get-Together" Conference
was held, which proved to be very successful.
The m embership of t h e Y. W. C. A. now is 165 girls.

The annual concert was g iven on May 12th at t he Bowersock Th eatre, and was a great success. The scene was th at of a moonlight porch

Oita has accomplished a great deal of good and improvement this year, in spite of annoying "flu" vacation interruptions. Miss Dolbee was
O'ta's faithful adviser and helped the members in every way, through the tedious process of dressing doll beds for the Junior Red Cross Bazaar,
in the pleasant task of studying the works of various poets, and best of all in getting Willard Wattles to read some of his poems and talk about
them, giving them to O'ita with the many little personal touches which make them more than ever invaluable.
In the ~all the old members gave a ".Backwards" party for the new members, and the ne w members in return gave a farce, written by
themselves, for the old members. The biggest social event of this year was the spring party, given at the Elks' !Hall, where a farce was staged,
followed by dancing.

"The who le town is turning out to see 'Gree n Stockings,' th e Hi g h School senior pl ay. Are
you in the crowd?" This was the last appeal made by the ad verti:;in g manager to f ill th e hou se
for his strong cast,--ancl h e was well repaid.
"Green Stockin g:;," under the coacldng of Mrs. Harold L. Butler, :mel t he management of K en neth Con s tant, was conceded by the local theatergoers to be the best h ome talent play presented t o

The Footlighters, the dramatic club of L. H. S., was organized in th e fall of 1918, under the leadership of Miss Metcalf. The first play selected was, "The Man Who Married a Dumb Wife," but on account of the school's ineffici ent stage faci liti es, the club was unabl e to give this. They then decided to
give "Mrs. Bumpsted-Leigh." Before they were well-started on this, the K. U. Dramatic Club announced "Mrs. Bumpsted-Leigh," as their main attraction.
So the play the Footlighters will give this year is "Nevertheless," an interlude by Stuart Walker.
· This is to be presented in chapel.
Becau se of the Flu vacations, this club has been greatly hindered in the year of its organization.
However, all the members were interested and kept the new club from dying. It is hoped that the
Footlighters will be continued next year, with unbound ed success. A new high school, with a wellequipped stage, will also h elp to solve m any of the club difficulties.

Like a ll the other school organizations the orchestra was serio usly handicapped in its work during
the fall by t he influenza epidemic. Since Christmas, however, very considerate progress has been made.
Under the efficient leadership of Miss Minerva Hall the orchestra h as been a s uccess and it is doing more
outside work than it has done for several years past.
This is Miss Hall's first year as leader. She came to the Lawrence public schools and the K. U.
Music School from Topeka, where she had been doing sim ilar work- directing the musical organizations
of the Topeka High School, and at the same time serving as an instructor in Washburn College, where
she taught classes in Public School Music.
Besides enthusiastic leadersh ip, another factor has added to the s uccess of the orchestra this year.
Regular work in this organization has been put on thus stimulating interest and encourag ing faithfulness. The orchestra has played several times at chape l, at the Rotary Club banquet, given by the Domestic Science Department, and at the athletic banquet by Mr. Innes. Besides this, the orchestra gave a
joint concert with the Girls' Glee Club, and w ill play at commencement as us ua l.

�Colored Girls L. H. S. Club
OUIDA LE·E , President.
JOSEPHINE CLARK, Vice-President.
LUELLA LOGAN, Treasurer.
BERNICE ANDERSON, Secretary.
A little over a year ago, the colored girls of High School got together and organized a club
for two important reasons. The first of these was to create a sisterly and bonded feeling among the
colored girls of the school, and the second was to create a source, where!Jy the reporter of the colored students could get more information concerning them.
At the beginning of this little organization the members were very, very active and did a great
deal towards promoting interest in it. 1E very meeting was well attended and quite often matinee
dances- were given.
Now, the attitude shown toward the club is quite different, but we feel that before long,
everyone will come back and attend the meetings with the same spirit :JS before.
Those, who were in the club last year, will never forget "The Third Annual Spring Party", which
they helped the "Boys' Club" give last May 23rd at Woodland Park. We might stop here and say
that this was one of the achievements, which caused the two clubs to receive recognition outside of
school.
This year, the girls are trying to get "The Fourth Annual Spring Party" on foot, but just now,
the way seems a little gloomy, for the boosters of the Boy's Club are gone. Since every girl has her
heart bent on this, we all feel a s if our plans will be carried out.
Although, having been organized for a very short period, this club has successfully carried out
its first purpose, i.e., has created a more friendly and a clearer feeling among the girls than ever
and much has been said in the Budget concerning them.
To those who will succeed us we say that our hope is that they may continue to carry out the
club's purposes and make them more effective than ever.

�DEPA.RTMENTS

ENGLISH
When what is now our old high
school building was new and of course
wonderful, a story about the activities
of the English department would have
fallen far short of this required page
in the Annual. Equipment for the
whole course-very modern, indeed, you
understand, was one fat text. Genung,
perhaps, and a quarter's worth of fool scap paper. One studied fossil sentences
from dead writers quite a s though English were a dead language, and u sed
the foolscap for "essays" on such subjects as Flowers, or Cruelty or, maybe, Electricity. These essays were endured by the whole student body at
"rhetoricals" in the big new a ssembly
room.
In bookcases at home one comes
upon flocks of little books, high school
Hoa r
Mattoon
Vl' olfe
English classics of the next period.
M e t cal f
Poff
Every senior had at graduation accumulated from a dozen and a half to two dozen of them, all more or less in the foreign language
of Milton or Burke, or Addison. Then came a time when a pupils paper bill was his heaviest expense item; for all one's shrinking little opinions had to be handed in, in ink. It was a correspondence course though one saw the teacher every day. English was a dead language still.
But since then schools everywhere have changed their Chinese attitude toward the Past, and
no longer interpret a training for democracy as one in which everybody is given the same thing
to do.
Moder n life in which all have the same school work to begin with, read the same papers, see
the same moving pictures and wear the same clothes must make us much alike. For this reason
individual assignments are taking the place of class 'assignments in English.
The department works with two ends in mind: that pupils may have something to express
and know how to express it. Because we have to live in our own day we must understand it
through its daily happening-s and its literature. We have got over despising the present, and are
not worried over being called superficial. The world is big and various. Because other departments
are obliged to specialize in their material, one at least should continually urge young people to see
th e world, to realize the immense number of things about which men and women are busy. There
is reason not r estlessness, then, in our being sometimes critics of a current play, or of Literary Digest cartoons; sometimes interviewers of local business men or again makers of scrap books on every subject under the sun. If English can give some notion of the rich variety of life, and some
notion of how to take hold of it, all our globe-trotting wi ll be justified.
If the dream of the department came true there would be in the new Liberty High School a
laboratory class room for each teacher, where pupils might under supervision work up subjects for
a ll courses from good daily papers and magazines; where from a little platform talks and simpl e plays could be given; where sli des could be shown at any time, and where plenty of bulletin
boards could exhibit all sorts of interesting things.
.
We should like to send out people who know something about a great many things, but how
to find out more on short notice; who can see, and make others see the application of what they
know, and who can enjoy dail y th e best things within their reach.

With the possibility of more room in the new Liberty Memorial Hi gh School many lines not
now possible may be added to h elp in the realization of our ideals.

DOMESTIC SCIENCE
The kitchen is the foundation of the home. Through the laboratory, kitchen, school and home
are brought closer together. Domestic Science includes the study of foods, cooking, marketing,
planning and serving meals, dietetics, laundry and various processes connected with th e home.
The aim is to give to the girl s an intelligent understanding of the food materials as to
source, composition a nd food values; to develop skill in the selection, preparation and use of
these foods; to form habits and methods of work, ideals of neatness, order, system and economy.
The work is developed upon practical lines, but based upon scientific principles, emphasizing
th e esthetic and economic values. Our ideal is to give to the girls s uch work that will be of
value to them every day to help them meet th e needs of the community.

MANUAL TRAINING
The aim of the Manual Training- department will always be to give its pupils as thorough
and extensive a training in the manual arts as conditions will p ermit. In the shop and in the
drafting room we hope to give the student such knowledge of practical mechanical work as
will be of service to him in the selection and carrying forward of his future work, either in college or in the shop.
·
When the new "high school is completed it is hoped that with added facilities and s uffic ient
room for expansion we shall be able to add new courses, including gas engine and a utomobile repair work, also a printing plant capable of printing the high school paper and a ll other school
printing. The work of the entire department wi ll be broadened and take on more of a vocational
nature than is possible under present conditions.
THE ART DEPARTMENT
The Art Department has a few things to be thankful for, in spite of the di stress about ventilation. With two attic room s at its disposal, it cannot complain of lack of room, especially
when we compare its present quarters with those of former years ; for instance, when it occupied the present Botany room and then the north west room in the bas ement of the High School.
When the department moves again we hope it will be to a well -equipped, well-lighted, wellventilated studio in the New Liberty High School.
.
During the past year several branches of art have been neglected in our department. Stencilling and china painting are two that have been neglected on account of high pr ices ; a lso be
ca use of the impossibility of obtaining china.
It is to be hoped that a g reat deal of both may
be done next year. We may even go so far as to hope that in our new school we shall have a
kiln for firing both china and pottery and thus build up a good pottery departm ent.
Actual drawing and poster making have occupied most of our attention this year, though much
time has been spent in designing and decorating various articles for school activities.

�MATHEMATICS
In recent years Algebra and Geometry as subjects to be required of high
school students, have come in for a fair
share of criticism, but those who are in
a good position to judge say that the
science of mathematics is not dead and
is not dying. They tell us that if
mathematics had not been a required
subject in the past years th ere might
not have been men enough to fill places
of responsibility requiring such a
knowledge in the recent war. A course
in mathematics of college grade was
required of S. A. T. C. boys regardlesg
of the branch of service they expected
to enter, except for those entering the
quartermaster's department. In nearHyde

high school mathematics are enabled to
hold certain positions paying seventy
or eighty dollars a month while spending part time in school. Let anyone doubting the importance
of the subj ect use his imagination for a few mom ents in trying to picture a world without mathematics.
If you grant its importance to those who will need it in the doing of the world's work, see if
also, honestly and without prejudice, you cannot answer "yes" to some of the f ollowing questions.
Has your work in high school mathematics given you a n ability first, to think and express
thought more clearly and accurately; second, to draw correct conclusions more easily; third, to
give attention or to concentrate to any greater extent; fourth, to understand more fully any scientific discussion or magazine article?
If you can answer any or all of these questions in the
affirmative, we feel that your course in algebra and geometry has had more than a practical
value for you.

Mathematics, being an exact science, does not change greatly from year to year. However,
this year we have felt somewhat of a new inter est and value in the subjects, som etimes called
dry, because certain of our former high school boys who had gone into various branches of military service told us, some orally and some in writing, that they had already made a greater use
of the mathematics learned here than they had ever suppoRed they would. When some of them
were asked to make suggestions for our work, growing out of their experiences, no radical changes
were suggested, but several agreed that facility and accuracy in mental work were very necessar y to
success in military service. Hence, especially in algebra, a somewhat greater emphasis has been
placed this year on oral work done by inspection and on checking. Someone has said that "a ninety-five per cent employee is practically useless," meaning that though an employee may make mistakes
he should be able to check his work, to discover errors and turn in only correct r esults. In algebra
also graphs of data concerning matters of general interest and of special interest concerning our
high school needs h ave proved particularly valuable this year.
In geometry the chief emphasis still is, as it has formerly been, upon the proof, distinguishing
between reasoning to right conclusions and "jumping at conclusions". Practical applications of geometrical principles have been u sed whenever such problems could be found. An hour or two on
field work has been of interest when we were studying similar triangles and trignometric ratios.
Our third year of mathematics is not required for graduation. There has been an enrollment
of about seventy-five in this optional work . this year. Every year there are a few students who wish
that there might have b een a class in fourth-year mathematics. Whether that addition to th e
course will come with the advent of th e new Liberty High School is as yet an unsettled question.

FOREIGN LANGUAGE
The need of a knowledge of modern foreign languages is felt today, more keenly
perhaps, than ever before in the history of
our school system . Our own country, now a
world power, is brought daily into close contact with the great people who n.re making·
history. For direct intercourse with these
nations modern languages are indispensable.
The practical aim of the department of
modern languages is to g ive to its students
a reading knowledge, and, in so far as possible, a speaking knowledge of French and
German, thereby opening to its students
new fields of thought, interest and service.
France and Germany have contributed much
to literature, philosophy, art and science
and a knowledge of their lanuages is necessary to take the fullest appreciation of these
contributions.
In striving to attain this aim of a reading
and speaking knowledge of the language,
the department seeks further to emplov
methods which shall develop in the stud ent,
B l air
Maffe t
Do l b ee
right habits of thinking, which shall teach
him to reason and to be accurate and which shall give him a better understanding of his own tong-ue.
The ideal of the Latin department is to make our work appeal to the students because the very
acquiring of the language affords satisfaction and enjoyment and also because the knowledge of it
proves worth while to them now and after they have entered their life-work.
In order to realize this ideal we try in every way possible to socialize our work and to interpret it
in the terms of every day life. Illustrative material such as pictures, slides, charts, exhibit cards and
clippings aid in this phase of the work. The writing of original Latin stories and especially the u se of
conversation in Latin, the vocabulatory for which we draw from our immediate environment, also further this end.
To remind the student that Latin is a vital subject which he uses every day of his life, garbed
perhaps in its English dress, the work in derivatives and the analyzing and building up of English
words is especially stressed. Selections from current periodicals are found to yield a surprising number
of Anglicized Latin words. The students are held responsible for the English derivatives both in oral
and written work just as much as for the Latin form itself. In this way their spelling is improved and
their English vocabulary is increased. A student never really und erstands the structure of his own language until he approaches it through a highly inflected language like the Latin and the importance of
this point is increased because of the fact that Latin is usually the first foreign language studied. In
this way the Latin a nd English are correlated . One of our fondest ambitions is to continue the work of
coord inating Latin with other subjects such as mathematics and the physical and biological sciences
which was curtai led because of our shortened school year.
The study of the civilization of the Romans and Greeks who contributed so much to us in the
realms of government, law, literature and science, we feel to be an important factor in broadening the
students' horizon. Both in the daily work and in the preparation of special reports their attention is
constantly attracted by the parallels in the political and social problems and also in the ordinary activities of that time and ours.
As to the appeal of the languages because of its market value-since the terminology of science
is largely Latin and Greek, the student who intends to specialize in such subjects will be aided by a
knowledge of these lang u ages. As a preparation for such professions as law and medicine its u sefulness is also apparent. It's foremost practical valu e however lies in its close relation to the English.
The ability to observe details, to discriminate, to make comparisons and to form judgments, mental pro~esses which are constantly exercised in the study of such a language, will surely prove to be most worth
while in making our students efficient workers and citizens.

SCIENCE
Science belongs to that group of
subjects commonly designated as utilitarian.
The activities of scientific
men, having apparently different objects in view, have this in common:
they are all efforts to better mankind
in some material way. Modern comforts, the result of modern industry ,
began with the invention of the stearr,
engine, by the aid of which a man
could often produce more than a hundred times what he had been able to
produce before. Success stimulates new
efforts ; the railroad, the steamboat, the
telegraph, marine cables, the telephone.
dynamo, electric motor, the electr:c
light, automobile, the airplane, t!H•
radio, and others, have followed rar&gt;
idly. Natural force s are doing more
and more; human drudgery is becoming less and less. Science has proHiggs

Dorsey
duced for our u se new and valuable
substance,;: baking powder, matches, anilene dyes, coal oil, gasolene, dynamite, ether, chloroform,
fertilizers, artificial gas, artificial ice, Bessemer st eel, and many more. Science has also taught
us to preserve our foods by canning, to protect our crops by spraying, to protect our bodies from
disease. Smallpox, t y phoid, diphtheria, malaria, yellow fever, tuberculosis, and others are losing
their t errors. W e are learning to combat them; we are learning to avoid them. Science has won
victories of peace, even more marvelous than its victories of war.
But let u s not allow ourselves to conclude that science is the whole of an education. Among
the valuable things which it is not: it is not recl"eational, not poetical, not artistic, not musical.
Science makes no · especial appeal to the spiritual side of our lives. Yet science is friendly to all
these; to the great masses of mankind, it might almost be said to have made them possible.
Poetry, art, and cultm' e do not flouri sh alor.g wi th a t en-hour working clay and a dollar wage.
Thi s, then, is the aim and ideal of th e L. H. S. r.cience department: To enCl'Urage science, in
order that m en may enjoy better health, more co·11forts, have more time for recreation, for poetry,
.for mu sic, for the artistic and the spiritual. Science is a means, rather than an encl.

�VOCATIONAL TRAINING

f

NORMAL
A prominent farmer entered a superintendent's office
not long ago, and said: "Can
you put us in touch with a
teacher who has not only good
methods in the school room
but some comprehension of
rural life and its needs, and is
willing to make herseii one of
us
and help us solve our
problems?
She must be big
hearted, well-trained, and practical, with the right outlook on
life in general and on country
life in particular."

The Normal Training Department is making an earnest effort to train rural school
teachers who will attain the
high standard set by this farmStoc k e bra nd
Alder
er. Country life is undergoing
a change which call s for new
and intelligent leadership. This leadership must be developed by a more effective kind of rural
school. To train teachers who are capable of conducting such a schooi is our problem.
Believing that the country child should have educational opportunities equal t:&gt; tl:ose of the city
child we are seeking to train our prospective teachers to carry out a broader and more varied curriculum than the traditional rural school has offer eel, and one better suited to the needs of country
life. To this end there was added this year, to the other professional requirements, a course in
Handwork in which students are taught to work with a variety of materials in order that they may
train children to use their hands to make attractive and u seful things. We are hoping soon to be
able to add courses in Rural Life Prob~ems and in Rural School Music Methods, and also to provide
for practice teaching for our Seniors, in a rural school not far from town, for we realize that to
gain first hand experience in an actual rural situation is a most practical part of a teacher's training.
With our own two rooms, our library, and our growing equipment we are realizing more and
more that we are a genuine department. Our Normal Training Club has helped to unify us and
make us a family group with common interests and common ideals, and with a host of happy mem- .
ories of good times enjoyed together.
We hope to graduate each year an increasing numbe1· of prospective teachers who have caught
the vision of the large opportunity for service which is offered to the rural school teacher of today.

VOCATIONAL AGRICULTURE

The plan is to give four years of Agricultural work in the high school: and a boy taking this
course will be given his high school diploma which will e:1ter him in college. One-half of the
units required to graduate in this course may be Agriculture, the other units are gotten from other subjects in the high school curriculum.
Boys over sixteen who feel sure they cannot finish their high school work may double their
work in Agricultrue, finishing the Agriculture work in two years.
The first year of Agriculture, subj ect' matter consists of Field Crops, Orchards, Gardens and
Weeds. The second year will be studies of farm livestock, including horses, hogs, cattle of both
the beef and dairy type, and sheep.
The third year will be a study of soils, soil drainage and management.
The fourth year will consist of cost accounting and farm management.
Along with the subject matter of each year's work there will be given corresponding work in
laboratory, shop, class project and home project work.
Beginr..ing n ext year, short courses will be given for a while each winter for men and boys who
do not have a chance to take a high school course.

th e team that he did with such a great lack of material and other se rious di sadvantages.
Coach Uhrlaub did not know that he wa s to coach until after schoo l had started and consequently
had great difficulty in securing a schedu le. However, he succeeded in g etting games with Wentworth, Olathe, Ottawa, Kan sa s City, Kan s., Wichita, Leavenworth , Manhattan and lola, only to have
most of them called off on account of the "flu ." Ho wever, hi s biggest difficulty was to develop th e inexperienced candidates into an effici ent, smoothl y-working football team. Our first game, that with
Wentworth Military Academy, although it resulted in a 7-6 defeat against us, showed to what a remarkable degree he had succeeded, as all th e sport dop est er s had predicted an overwhelming Wentworth
victory. Lawre nce's hopes fo r a successfu l football season were running high when, only two clays
before the gam e with Olathe, the " flu vacation" was declared. Coach U hrlaub in the hope of holding
the team together during a predicted "vacation" of two ·week s imm ed iately organized a football camp
on the Lap tad farm, t o whi ch he took the entire sq uad. H owever, after th e predicted two weeks were
up an::! school had not yet begun th e camp was abandoner!. Most of th e r e maining gam es were afterwards called off and a new sch edule was arranged-another game ·with 'W entworth was obtained for
November 2nd. It later turned out that school did not begin until the fo llowing week so it was a great
handi cap to us to enter the game. While we are perfectly aware of the fact that the school is ill
thought of which continuall y offer s alibi after alibi for th eir defeats, we believe it onl y just and fair
that the two seri ous handicaps f or Lawrence in thi s game should be mentioned. In the fir st place the
team had no scrimmage practice for three or fo ur weeks and wer e b adly cli so rgani.zed by th e absence
s ignal s were often " balled up" and the t eam-work the game itself whi ch resulted in a 54-0 defeat, the
of Austin, our large tackle, f rom th e line-up. In was entirely lacking. However, we are perfectly
willing to take it as "part of th e game," the oft-u sed expression of our coach.

Th e basketball team of 1918-19 was the best team Lawrence High School ever had, accord ing to
Coach "Dutch" U hrlaub, who has a lso coached the L. 'H. S. s tate championship team of 1914-15, heretofore r eg a rd ed a s our best team . Th e t eam won 17 out of the 21 games played; def eated the K. C.
All-Stars ; cl efea t ed St. Joe, and did about everything else t here was to do but win the state tournam ent,
in which th ey we re r unner s-up.
At th e beginning of the yea1· Coach Uhrlaub decided to withdraw from the North ea s t Kan sa s Basketball L~"' agu e, of which we were champions la st year, and look for bigger "meat."
Accordingl y he
schedul ed ga mes with Emporia, Manhattan , lola, St. Joseph and towns of similar "class."
Ther e was an abundance of material out at the beg inning of t h e season in add ition to th e f our lett er men, Woest emeyer, ·W eed, Endacott and Stauffer, of last year's t eam . Stauffer was declared ineligibl e earl y in the sea son, but Clarence Houk, last year's captain , ca me back to school f or th e second term so the loss was not f elt so k eenl y. After seve ral "cuts" were m ade on th e squad, th e line-up
looked like this: Forward s : Houk, Coffman, Ackerman, Ulm and Olson; Center : Captain Woestemeyer,

..

or Ackerman; Guards: 1Endacott, Weed and Banning. Later in the season Banning was forced to
give up on account of an injured leg. Moreover, several of the boys became ineligible at different times.
We were ·not seriously bothered for lack of players until the tournament, when Houk and Coffman
were laid out with pneumonia and the "flu." This loss was felt all the more keenly when Ulm had
his already injured elbow badly wrenched in one of the earlier games. Endacott's ankle was "turned"
and Woestemeyer had his knee thrown out of place. So it was a badly crippled team which played
Winfield in the finals. Despite these reevrses the Red and Black quintette managed to hold the strong
Winfield five to a 7-7 score in the first half. .But in the second half our offense crumpled and the
Winfield forwards began to "find" the basket from the center of the floor, with the result that the
game ended with Winfield on the long end of a 29-17 score.
Two of our players, Endacott and Woestemeyer, made the first "all-state" team. Two others,
Ackerman :and Weed, made the -second "all-state."
However, the greatest victory of the Lawrence five was the defeat they gave the Kansas City
All-Stars after having been beaten twice by this same team. This was the only defeat the All-Stars
received and they were ranked by leading sport sheets as the fastest high school five in the country.
The scores of the three games were 21-24, 20-41, and 22-21, the first scores being those of Lawrence.
If beating the "All-Stars" was the team':;: greatest victory their greatest achievement was in giving
the Student Body a chance to revive its school spirit. There has been little of the real L. H. S. loyalty
among the students since regular daily chapels were discontinued, but this winter the studenfs got
together and gave the basketball boys the best support that any team ever received. It was the support of the crowd more than anything else which made the team win the Schmelzer game and showed
up in our other battles, the St. Joseph game especially. As factors in keeping up the "pep," Sorey's
Jazz Band and Durland's cheer-leading helped wonderfully, but the big thing was whole-hearted support of every student.

The Players
Armin Woestemeyer, captain, played his second and last year on the team with the same
steadiness and consistency so obviously characteristic of him in various other activities,
"lady-fussing" included. His smooth floorwork in the state tournament won him a berth
on the first "all-state" team. Westie intends
to go to K. U . next fall.
Paul Endacott, guard, is another senior who
won his second basketball "L" and placed on
this year's first "all-state" team. "Plukie" and
"Westie" both decided, after the first game
with Manhattan, to go to the Agricultural College there next year. They had received an
invitation by telephone to come out to "mess"
with the Aggie basketball team from a man,
supposedly Coach :Clevenger. Both of these
would-be "farmers," accordingly invested in a
shave, massage and shine "to make a good
impression."
"Farmer" Woestemeyer even
went so far as to have his hair cut. Imagine
their "joy'!" when they learned that they were
the goats of another "Dutch" Uhrlaub joke.
James "Birdie" Weed, guard, is only a
Sophomore, but has four "Ls" to his credit already, two football and two basketball, and
was unanimously elected captain of next year's
basketball team. "Birdie" made the second
"all-st~te" five.
Clarence Houk, forward, and last year's
captain, was the most consistent point-getter
on the team. "Houkie" didn't enter school until the second term and "got" pneumonia on
the day before the tournament, so he didn't
get a chance to make any "all-state" teams;
. but it was largely due to his goal-shooting
that L. H. S. defeated the Schmelzers. Houk
will graduate this spring and go to K . U . next
fall.

Garland Coffman, forward, is a sub-senior
who played his first year on the team. He is
our other "alibi" for not winning the tournament as he was taken sick with the "flu" the
morning of the tournament.
"String-Beans" Ackerman is that lean, long,
lanky sophomore with a hungry look in his
eye, who won his first "L" and was placed on
the sec:md "all-state."
"Dutch" Uhrlaub
swears that "String-Beans" is the "eatingest"
guy he ever saw.
Ralph Ulm was the utility man, playing
either guard or forward, as the situation demanded. Strange to say, it was "Ulum" who
made the "hit" with the ladies of other
schools: "Who is that cute little black-haired
fellow?" being one of the commonest questions.
Norris Stauffer. "Stuffy" is an indifferent
student,--er looking, but a good sport, but
eligibility rules proved to be his "bug-bear"
this year.
"Chuck" .Banning wears his red hair and
broad grin where-ever he goes. His football,
basketball, and eating capacities are not
cramped by any means.
"Ted" Olson. "Fly-weight" is a Junior ~ho
has very strict training rules. His first rule
and the one which is hardest for him to obey
is, "Don't have any more than seven dates
a week with "Jo."
"Pard" Durland plays basketball when he is
eligible and becomes cheer-leader when . he
isn't. It might be added that he is cheer-leader
most of the time.
Severt Higgins is a substitute who did a
good job of warming up the side-lines, but
couldn't get accustomed to the fact that
"tackling" doesn't "go" in basketball.

TRACK
Lawrence High School's 1919 track season consisted of the K. U. Interscholastic meet in which we
got 10% points. Carey ~ogers was elected captain and a great deal of credit is due him for the showing that the team made. The three boys who placed in the meet, thus winning their "Ls" were Rogers,
Woestemeyer, and George Wilbur. Rogers got a second in the pole-vault, Westie placed second in the
broad jump, and Wilbur got a second in the shot-put. The other boys on the team· who also entered the
meet but failed to place were, Paul Patterson, Bob Sterling, Marvin Hyre and Phil Sterling.
TENNIS
Bad weather played havoc with a good tennis schedule, including dual matches with Northeast,
Westport and Central High Schools of Kansas City, Mo., as well as the K. U. tournament. However,
"Dutch" Uhrlaub is keeping his men at practice and othei' matches may be arranged before school is
out. The men who have been coming out are Captain Beery, John Selig, George Hollingberry, Elmer
Lupton and Lionel Semon.

Owing to the fact that no loving cup was offer ed t his year, to the bes t t eam of the four L. H.

Besides the Freshman team, there was the High
School gir l's team, whicl1 was composed of Sen ior s, Juniors, and Sophomores. Therefore, no interclass games were played.
However, th e girls ' team played Oread High School, at t he Manual Gym, with a score of 18 to 5
in L. H. S.'s favor. Not long after another game was played with th em at Oread Gym. This
score was 9 to 5 in Oread's favor. It was planned to play a deciding game, but Oread was planning to play in the tournament at K. U., and con sequently called off th e game. Several scrimmage
games were played with the Freshman team, but no more outside teams were scheduled.
Although th e girls ' basket ball team was not very active thi s ~~ ear, the girls, who were coached

�Liberty Memorial High School
Lawrence will build a $230,000 Liberty Memorial High School in honor of the nineteen L. H . S.
boys to whom this Annual is dedicated. This high school, which will be built on South Massachusetts
street, will include several features that will be constant reminders of the sacrifice made by the Lawrence boys. The auditorium will be made large enough to serve as a community center, and a small
bronze tablet to the memory of each of the eighteen boys will be placed in it. A place will also be
made for a museum of war relics.
Ask anyone in Lawrence, "Who did the most to support the bond issue of $230,000 for the best memorial Lawrence can build?" and he will say, "The high school students." For many yeal's the old-fashioned, crowded hig-h school has been a matter of chagrin. The students themselves, the victims of the
inadequate equipment, were organized by Superintendent Kent, along with teachers, into committees
to promote a campaign for a memorial high school. The students were very eager to make the drive.
Armin Woestemeyer, president of tlie Student Council and chairman of the central committee, proposed that a week, to be known as Liberty High Week, be held for the purpose of interesting the townspeople, and informing them of the need for a suitable high school building.
The first event of the week was the publishing of a special edition of the Budget, giving reasons
why the voters should vote "Yes," on the bond issue. Copies of this issue were distributed to every
home in Lawrence. Next, the "Whizz-Bang," commonly known as a circus, was given by the students
to defray the expenses of the campaign. Next, were the four-minute talks advocating the bond issue
made by Ruth Spotts and Paul Endacott at the Senior Play, · "Green Stockings," at the Bowersock.
The last four days of the week the high school he:ct "open house," that every voter might come
and see for himself just why the students were placarding Lawrence with such slogans as "It Shall
Pass," "Give Us Room to .Breathe and Grow," etc.
The climax came Thursday, March 27, when Sergt. Mahlon Weed marshalled an all-school parade
down Massachusetts !Street. A striking feature of the parade was the living AmeriCan flag formed
by one thousand grade school children. Veterans of the Civil and Spanish-American Wars, returned s&lt;Jldiers of the European war, members of the National Guard, and the . Kansas University and Haskell
Bands also participated.
In this campaign every pupil of the Lawrence Public Schools had some part, and each of them
-feels that he has a real part in the greatest memorial to be erected to the memory of the brave
nineteen boys who gave their lives for their country.

��When Blinky Won the Game
By Charles Sisson

No one ever dreamed that Blinky Ericksen's one consuming ambition was to be an athlete.
Blinky's ideal of h eaven was a football gridiron or a basketball court and his angels were all athletes
rigged for the game. Flat-footed, near-sighted, as awkward as an ostrich, and indescribably tall and
thin, this was Blinky Ericksen in his last year at Riverside High School. Year by year he had seen
his athletic hopes grow less. His defective eyes had kept him out of football and baseball, and hi s
ridiculously long arms and legs got in his way ana tied th~mselves up into such awkward knots whe;1
he tried track or t ennis that after a few brave attempts Blmky gave up out of consideration for his
opponents and the sp ectators.
.But at every game there was no sturdier rooter on the sidelines than
Blinky, and no one ever guessed that back of his _loud and cheery "Rah! Rah ! Riverside!" there were
a ny unsatisfied longings. His schoolmates took hun for g-ranted with good-natured indifference.
Blinky was Blinky to them, hardly worth noticing at all except as a convenient "goat" for their
careless jesting.
There was one boy in the school whom Blinky secretly idolized, and that boy, as it happened, was
the one who was held in the greatest contempt by the whole student-body. Blinky hardly admitted it,
even to him self, but nevertheless he admired Snipe Muldune more than he did any other _boy in Riverside High. Snipe was a fellow of medium build, strong and muscular, but of a disposition so retiring that
he appeared almost sullen. There was no doubt t~at Snipe ~as the best all-round athlete in the school,
but he had fallen into disr epute because of a suspicion of d1sloyal and unsportsmanlike conduct during
the football season in Blinky's Senior year. In the last game of the season, some one gave away to the
Bancroft team, Riverside's bitterest enemy, all the signals of Riverside High's eleven, with the result
that Bancr oft won by a "3 to 0" score, thus stealing the championship from Riverside. Of course the
wrath of the school was roused against the boy who had so little school loyalty as to t urn traitor and
play such a conte mptible trick. For some r eason, partly perhaps because he was not a true Riversider,
having come from another school the year before, and partly because his silent, almost sullen dispo sition had k ept his schoolmates at a distance and no one really knew him, suspicion gradu ally settled
upon Snipe. There was talk of "circumstantial evidence." Someone suddenly remembered that Snipe
had played half-heartedly that day. Other "proofs" were brought to light until the evidence stood
quite distinctl y against him. Meanwhile Snipe went doggedly on his way protesting his own innocence,
but suggesting no explanation for the disloyal act. In time, because of lack of positive evidence, the
matter was dropped; but the hard feeling remained. Blinky alone always believed that Snipe was innocent. Moreover, he had a strong suspicion who the guilty person was, and he more than half believed
that Snipe knew, too. Blinky longed to clear his friend, but because he did not absolutely know, he had
to k eep silent ; and when, during the winter, word came of the sudden death of a football man who
had left school at the end of the season, Blinky felt sure that Riverside would never know who was the
real traitor.

The final event of the b ask etball season, the state tournament at Riverside, was in full swing.
Riverside had worked herself up to the final s, where she was to meet Bancroft, the school that had
beat en h er out of the football chalTIIpionship in the fall. Riverside felt confident, for all her men were
in good form-all, · except Snipe, who was not playing in his old place on the team. Unconsciously, the
su spicion of his schoolmates had affected his playing until the coach, exasperated by his halfheartedness, had relegat ed him to the position of a substitute. Keenly humiliated as he was by this open reproof, a strange stubbornness which Snipe himself hardly understood, kept him in the game even after
the change. •
The finals started amid the yells of th e River side rooters, who had turned out in full force. At
first the pros-p ects looked bright for the home team. By the brilliant floor-work and shooting of · White,
her big center and captain, Riverside took the first six points in quick succession; then the Bancroft
defence stiffe ned and the opposing t eam slowly evened up the score. As the first half was nearing a
close a nd while th e score was still "Six all," one of the Bancroft players tripped ·w hite, Riverside's
mainstay, and laid him out for the rest of the game. The rooters were dismayed, nor were they reassu red when Snipe was sent in to relieve one of the forwards, who took White's place as center. A successful free throw brought Riverside's score up to seven and the score ended "7 to 6" in favor of the
home t eam.
Wh en the referee's whistle blew for the beginning of the second half, Snipe was again in as forward. It was evident that the Riverside rooters were troubled. They did not have confidence in Snipe
a nd their fear affected their enthusiasm. They became more afraid a s the g-ame proceeded, for Bancrof t made five consecutive field goals, running up a nine-point lead. The Riversiders grew strangely
quiet. Blinky, watching Snipe, realized that he was losing his grip.
"They hadn't oughter do him that way," he muttered, under his breath. "They're a bunch o' nuts.
Gee! I sure wisht'--" Then suddenl y, leaning across th rail, and making a megaphone of his
hands, he bellowed,
•
"Come on, Snipe, old top!" We're with you! Tear 'em up! (Rip 'em up! Kill 'em! You can do
it!"
•
The effect was electrifying-. Instantly all Riv erside was on its feet. The restraint was gone and
the crowd went mad. Shouts of "We'll get 'em ! Show 'em what you're made of, -Snipe! Play up, boy,
play !" came from all sides. And Snipe olayed; played as he had never played before; played as no one
ever dreamed he could play; in fact, played the best game Riverside had ever seen, He became the

Notes on the Election
Approximately 12,000 names were tallied in the election count.
The low number of votes for the several candidates is due to the fact that there \vere so many
persons in the race.

there is no choice", for the Greenest Freshie.
Pap was mentioned for the Best Dancer.
The Janitors came in strong, Albert for the Most Popular Teacher, and Tom for the Most
Popular Boy.
Several new offices were created. George Anderson "got it" fer the Biggest Feet, and Junior
Allison for the Biggest Pro-German. "Dur' got a number of votes for Cheerleader.
The "Higgins Family" ran high for the Pushing-est Pusher.
One brilliant lad wrote "Take a look at Dm· and laugh," in the School Wit space, while School

�backbone of the team. He shot from the center, from both sides, from under the basket, and he rarely
missed. Whenever he was needed, there he was. The rooters were so amazed and dumbfounded that
they could hardly yell; and Bancroft was swamped to the tune of "54 to 20." Snipe had won the game
and the crowd knew it.
When it was all over, they hoisted him on their shoulders and. carried him around amid their own
deafening cheers, in spite of his vigorous attempts to say something. Finally he succeeded in making
himself heard.
"You fellows have got the wrong guy!" he shouted. "There's just one guy in Riverside High that
did it and that's Blinky Ericksen. If Blinky hadn't yelled when he did neither I nor any of the team
could have put up any fight at all. I'd advise you to drop me and give Blinky a ride."
Instantly, there were shouts of "Blinky! Blinky Ericksen! We want Blinky!" Of course they
found him, for Blinky's length could never be hid, even in such a crowd. They swung him up beside
Snipe and started on their triumphal march again, while the room rang with "Fifteen for Blinky!
What's the matter with .Blinky ?" As for Blinky, himself he grinned from ear to ear, and there was no
happier boy in all Riverside that night. It was .g ood to feel that he, Blinky Ericksen, had had a real
part in Riverside's great victory! but best of all was the knowledge that the old score against Snipe had
been forever wiped out. And for days afterwards his friends (for all the boys were proud to be his
friends now), overheard him saying to himself:
"1 knew he wasn't yellow; yes, sir, I knew he wasn't."

My fingers are weary and worn,
My eyelids heavy and red,
But I've my English to do and my

Before I can go to bed.
Work, work, work,

Befo1·e I have studied each lesson

I know I shall fall asleep .
.But why should I think of sleep?
I who, as· the hours crawl by,
With my sight grown dim and my

Forgetting the reason why

Am tempted to rest and sleep;
But I stick it out, and as the sun

Into bed for a nap I creep.

You'll go to the dance tonight
And you'll dance till your feet are

You'll up and dance some more.

I myself the pastime enjoy.
But why go wild over the music and

Are you nothing but a jiggling toy?

You've flunked that quiz, I know,
And the grand old "E's" once won

And you've had lots of harmless

And with others y ou've learned to

That'll be useful when school

�It happened in fourth hour Budget class.
Those present were Severt Higgins, sitting·
at Miss Poff's desk, Mildred McGuffey, :n
front of room, Miss Poff, in back of room,
Elizabeth Dunkel, at the side, and William
Anderson.
Severt and Bill had just had a big squabble over which one of them had done the
most work in Boys' Club. As the argument
terminated, Bill walked into the Budget office and closed the door. Ere long E lizabeth
heard strange sounds, somewhat resembling
the mournful dirges which the Indians sing
in "Hiawatha".
Liz: "Mildred, do you suppose Bill is sin g-·
ing?" (oh oh - ah - tee dum-dum.)
Mildred (distinguishing the sounds from

Mi ss H enry 's class up stairs ): Heavens ! isn't
that a fright?"
Severt, becoming . interested, bursts into
silent laughter.
Liz: "For goodness sakes, Severt, go in
and put him out of his mi sery."
At this moment Miss Poff looks up from
her work, listens, and a look of fright rushes
over her face; t hen rushing to the door of
the Budget office, she exclaimed:
"Oh! I 'm sure he must be in pain. H~
sounds as if he were suffering."
However, the opened door revealed Bill
calmly writing at the desk, and softly humming to himself .
P. S.-Ruth n ow says that she's going to
give Bill sin ging lessons.

�Class History
One cool rainy September morning in
the year 1915, there was ushered in to Lawrence high school a new class. History now
correctly has it, that that class, commonly
called the class of 1919, is the greatest class
ever graduated from L. H. S. Look here,
look there, those "Nineteeners," seem to be
everywhere; the leaders in the famous school
spirit, the leaders of athletics, at the top in
public speaking, unexcelled in dramtics, and
the right hand of the ready future.
Lawrence high school, and the people
of Lawrence will not for years forget the
ability of that class of "19," in dramatics.
The first farce, "!Bicyclers ," was presented by
them in the freshman year at a masquel·ade party. This farce was coached by Mary
Harold West, a former faculty member.
William Engel's part, a comedian, was particularly outstanding. "A Bunch of Roses,"
was the second attempt, which was given at the first term party of the Sophomore year. It was such a
success that it was by request, r epeated for the "Big Circus of 1916." "Who's Who," was presented for
the second Sophomore farce. The Junior year's social success was the Junior Prom. With Elizabeth
Dunkel as manager it was a credit to the class. The Prom was held in the new Congregational Parish
house, which was decorated with the class colors , and flowers. A splendid three course dinner was served
bv the Sophomore girls. The very clever farce "The Heirs-At-Law," was given on the church stage, as
a· climax to th e seniors' entertainment. The crowning feature of the four years in dramatics, was the
senior play, "Green Stockings." It was produced by an able cast of tw elve, on the Bowersock stage.
Annie Mitch ell, the leading lady, who was later elected the prettiest girl in high school, was a brilliant
success. Every part was well held; and by the excellent coaching of Mrs. Harold L. Butler, the play was
co n sidered well produced. Although the night of March 24th was stormy, the theatre was well filled.
The g ids of th e class of nineteen have always been "up and coming" in athletics. Although they
have n ever won an inter-class tournament they have always put up a good scrap. Louise Phillips,
Esther Knop, and Cecil Hale are the three seniors on this year's girls' basketball team . "Doc" Phillips
was captain.
•,

Lawrence High's first girl cheerleader, Elizabeth Dunkel, is a member of our class and it is officially
reported in athletic circles that Wilma Miller, another senior, is the girls' champion bicycle rider of the
world.
Nor have the boys of nineteen been slackers in athletics. Ever since we became Freshmen, members
of our class have been prominent as basket-ball, foot-ball, track and tennis stars.
In 1915, "Hap" Frye, who left school to go to war, a lthough only a freshman, was rated as the best
football player in school. Our Freshman basket-ball team, Houk, Eastman, Putnam, Wa1thers and Higgins s ucceeded in defeating the haughty Juniors ; and our base-ball team, Burton, Neff, Houk, Putnam , Miles, Coffman, Beery , Williams, Eastman and Higgins took third place in th e interclass baseball
leag ue, putting' ~th e proud Seniors of that year in the "cellar".
Our. athleti c prestige increased greatly in our Sophomore year. Dudley Neff and Severt Higgins being regular substitutes on the football team with "Ha-p" Frye. Paul Endacott began to loom up in the
limelight along with Clarence Houk and Donnie Eastman. Arlo Putnam got an "L" in tennis and O'Leary,'
Eastman, Ro gers, and P a tterson made their first letters on the track team.
During' our third year in high school we were "all it" in the sport light. "Dud" Neff, Charlie Banning, Jack Naismith, Leo Applegate and "Carcas" Higgins made the football team what it was. Houk,
Endacott, Woestemeyer and Stauffer were the mos t important basketeers, Houk being captain. The
success of the team in winning the district basketball championship was due largely to these men.
Captain O'Leary and Rogers were the only Lawrence track men who "placed" in the Interscholastic
meet and Dolson Beery, captain of the tennis team, was recognized a s the school's best "racketeer."
Th e members of the class who made athletic reputations in their Senior year are so many that only
a brief summary is possible here. All of the athletic teams had Seniors for captains; the two Lawrence
basketba ll players who made the "all state" were Seniors; and the three Lawrence track men who placed
in the "interscholastic" were Seniors.
Und er the leadership of Severt Higgins as president the Senior class was carefully piloted through
turmoil and trouble, unto the day of gradu ation. The president has had the honor of being a renowned
athlete, the public speaker of the school, and a dramatic star. "Hurrah for Higgins!" When the war's
cry for patriots was heard, one of the first organizations to respond to the call was the class of "19."
Many of htr men joined the colors, and those that could not go, paid for a Liberty .Bond, to support their
share of the go vernment, and their fighting classmates . . A great deal of honor is due Mahlon Weed the
first member of the A . E. F. to return to the class. Besides making an enviable record in France, he has
more than distinguished himself since his return.
They adopted a French War Orphan, and paid one-half more of his allotment, than was expected.
The Senior breakfast, the picnic, the class-day exercises, and commencement are on the last of
the "19" program. Finally graduation day will see the class of 1919, start into the problem of life.
One gloriou s class, that of 1919.
K. C., '19.

�Patriotic Work

War Orphan
Pierre Ferre, the French war orphan adopted by the Class
of '19, was born Jul y ,3 1, 1914. Mrs. O'Leary made the arrangements for the "adoption" last term. The s um necessary to s upport the orphan was $37.00, a nd the class raised thi s sum to
$42.50 by voluntary subscriptions. The following is th e translation of a letter received:
My clear Guardian:
I thank you sincerely for your kind letter and for what you
are sending which I have not yet received, but which will not be
long delayed. .
I 'am truly happy that yo u have chosen m e f or your god
child and I hasten to send yo u my photog r ap h which I ass ure

thanks of my mothet·, who has · been much touched by your letter. I beg you to write soon to the fo llowing address:
PIERRE FERRE,

Gironde, France.

Liberty Bond
The members of the Class of '19 are leaving to the Hig h School, a memorial of their loyalty
and patriotism in the form of a fifty dollar Liberty Bond, purchased in 1918. At this writing the
class h as not definitely decided for what purpose the bond shall be u sed. However, eith er of the .
following plans has been suggested. One of the plans is to turn the bond over to the fund for the
bronze memorial tablet, in honor of High School men who di ed in the service of their country,
which will be placed in the new Liberty High School. If this plan is n ot carried out, the bond will
be used to buy a trophy case for the new school. Either of these u ses will be a suitable class memorial.

Playing the hardest schedule of the past four years the Lawrence High football team finished its
1918 SP-ason with one victory and fo ur defeats to its credit. Although this is the poorest showing on
the gridiron that Lawrence has ever made, much credit is due to Coach Julius Uhrlaub for turning out
the team that he did with such a great lack of material and other serious disadvantages.
Coach Uhrlaub did not know that he was to coach until after school had started and consequently
had great difficulty in securing a schedule. However, he succeeded in getting games with Wentworth, Olathe, Ottawa, Kansas City, Kans., Wichita, Leavenworth, Manhattan and lola, only to have
most of them called off on account of the "flu." However, his biggest difficulty was to develop the inexperienced candidates into an efficient, smoothly-working football team. Our first game, that with
Wentworth Military Academy, although it resulted in a 7-6 defeat against us, showed to what a remarkable degree he had succeeded, as all the sport dopesters had predicted an overwhelming Wentworth
victory. Lawrence's hopes for a successful football season were running high when, only two days
before the game with Olathe, the "flu vacation" was declared. Coach Uhrlaub in the hope of holding
the team together during a predicted "vacation" of two weeks immediately organized a football camp
on the Laptad farm, to which he took the entire sq uad. Howevei", after the predicted two weeks were
up and school had not yet begun the camp was abandoned. Most of the remaining games were afterwards called off and a new schedule was arranged-another · game with 'W entworth was obtained for
November 2nd. It later turned out that school did not begin until the following week so it was a great
handicap to us to enter the game. While we are perfectly aware of the fact that the school is ill
thought of which continually offers alibi after alibi for their defeats, we believe it only just and fair
that the two serious handicaps for Lawrence in this game should be mentioned. In the first place the
team had no scrimmage practice for three or four weeks and were badly disorgani-zed by the absence
signals were often "balled up" and the team-work the game itself which resulted in a 54-0 defeat, the
of Austin, our large tackle, from the line-up. In was entirely lacking. However, we are perfectly
willing to take it as "part of the game," the oft-used expression of our coach.

�The remammg three games may be briefly summarized as hard-fought, but costly boneheads and
Jack Naismith returning to school next fall, and Lllst u s two more defeats. The need of a punter waE
badly f elt throughout the whole season. Ralph Ulm, our quarterback, did most of the "booting,"
although both Lupton and Walthers did some.
The prospects for a winning team next year are bright, only Wilbur, Endacott, Woestemeyer,
Esterly and Captain Higgins being lost by graduation. This leaves Captain-elect Ulm, Banning, Weed,
and 'vValthers in the backfield, and Woodruff, Anderson, Testerman, Laptad, Austin, Wilson, Lupton, Joe
Ulm and Stauffer in the Line. Add to this the possibility of Mifflin, "Sap" Frye, Carl Broker, a nd
Jack Naismith returning to school next fall and Lawrence's hopes run high.
It also might be said here that if the student body gives the same support to next year's football
t eam that it gave to this year's basketball team, the season is sure to be successful. •Ralph Ulm
and his team-mates will take care of their end, so there is no reason why next year's footba ll season
shouldn't be ever-victorious.

The Players
Severt Higgins, captain, was the only
year man back. Due to the scarcity of
men "Carcass" played in the line instead
the backfield. He expects to go to K. U.
fall.

third
lineof in
next

Ralph Ulm, captain-elect, is one of the scrappiest high school quarterbacks that ever put
on a suit. "Ulm's" hard-tackling won him a
reputation where-ever he played despite the
fact that he weighs only 132 pounds. Ulm is
a Junior, and now has t wo football and one
basketball "Ls" to his credit.
"Chuck" Banning, left-half, won his second
"L" in the back-field although when necessary
he was used at his old position at center.
"Red's" smiling, eating, and football capacities are practically limitless. He is only a
Junior and is eligibl e to play ·football next year
if he doesn't settle down on the farm.
Paul Endacott came out for football for the
first tim e in his senior year and easily won his
"L," developing into one of the best ends we
ever had. "Pluke" expects to go to K. U. next
year.
James 'W eed, right-half, is only a sophomore,
but has four "Ls" already, two football and
two basketball. "Birdie," as he is generally
called, was the erstwhile cook at camp who
fri ed the bacon in "Mazola" oil.
Harold Tester;nan, tackle or end, is a freshman who got his "L." Although only fifteen,
he weighed 160 pounds so he will probably
develop into a phenomenal player.
Lawrence Woodruff, center, had his nose
broken twice, but it ' didn't lessen hi s football
ability or imposing appearance to the ladies.
"Woody" is a junior.
Bob Laptad is a farmer boy who didn't
knew the difference between a football and a
pumpkin when he entered school this yeal'.
Bob soon showed that he was a good end, how-·
ever, and could t ake care of any opponent even
if he was only a freshman.
Elmer "Pinkie" Lupton is that short, fat,
sweet, red-headed junior guard who weighs
only two hundred and ten pounds before dinner. However, Pinkie can eat as much more
as is necessary for him to hold down his job
if required.
George "Footney" Anderson is a sophomore
with two good "understandings," size No.
eleven. "Footney" played guard .
George "Doc" Esterly, a senior, didn't come
out for football until his last year, but his

"fight" and size won an "L" for him. "Doc"
went on the Hill for the last "quarter," so will
probably go out for the K. U. freshman team
next fall.
Vvilliam Austin, right tackle, was one of the
few players of previous football experience
on the team. Bill is a junior who played at
Cottonwood Falls last year.
Norris Stauffer, a senior, is another guard.
"Stuffy" and his car often proved themselves
of great value to the team.
Vernie Walthers, fullback, was a consistent
"ground gainer" during the whole season.
Vernie also did the forward passing. He is
only a sophomo re, but will not be back in school
next year as he is going to Naperville, Illinois,
to live.
Armin Woestemeyer, basketball captain,
tried out for the line where he did good work,
but Westie's place on th e football team should
be in the backfield as was afterwards learned.
He will go to K. U. next fall.
Earl Wilson is another freshman who
showed up well, but didn't get in quite enough
quarters to win an "L." He got a reserve
letter.
J oe Ulm, sophomore, is a brother to next
year's captain, and will try out for end. He
received a reserve letter for that position this
year.
George Wilbur played guard in parts of a ll
the first four games, but couldn't stay out for
the last one. George graduates this year.
"John" Rigdon, although small, made most of
the trips. He is another senior who goes to
K. U. next year.
George Lind is our handsome little water
boy. Of course, he has a "case."
"DUTOH" UHRLAUB
Coach
Coach Uhrlaub, the football, basketball and
tennis coach, deserves much credit for the
s uccessful athletic teams this year. He succeeded in keeping footb all alive in the high
school, when its existence was threatened by
war conditions. He has coached two La&gt;vrence basketball teams, one in 1914, which
won the state championship, and this year's
team which was runner-up in the state tournament. \His popularity among his players is
one of the greatest signs of appreciation for
what he has done that could be given him.
"Dutch" won't coach here next year, but he
will be missed.
