�RURAL SCHOOLS AND SCHOOLHOUSES OF DOUGLAS COUNTY, KANSAS
by Goldie Piper Daniels
Enterprise School District No. 18. The site for this school was acquired
by condemnation because the School District had been unable to acquire title
because the land was "wild land" and the owner could not be found. It was
appraised for $5.00 for the site. Later it was believed that the "wild
land" may have belonged to a man named Graham, who lived in Missouri.
When in operation this little schoolhouse was known as Brown Jug School,
so named by Thurb Harding who loved to sing "Little Brown Jug", but when
the new and last schoolhouse was built about 1894, the name was changed to
"Enterprise" because the neighborhood, according to J. B. Banker, was too
enterprising a neighborhood for its school to be named "Little Brown Jug."
The 1897-98 term of school was taught by C. E. Jay with salary of $40.00
per month. Board members were: J. H. Baldwin and M. T. Harding. Total
expenditure for the year was $364.01. Those of school age at that time were:

�RURAL SCHOOLS AND SCHOOLHOUSES OF DOUGLAS COUNTY, KANSAS
by Goldie Piper Daniels
Bismark School District No. 79. In 1870, when an acre of land was
given to the district by the Kansas Pacific Railway Company, a two-story
brick schoolhouse was built.
The first schoolhouse had two teachers and the enrollment was large.
Bismark in its day was a bustling settlement where the Kansas Pacific Railway Shops were located and also the famous Bismark Grove, scene of early day
fairs, picnics, chautauquas, Independence Day celebrations, political rallies,
famous races, and other large gatherings.
In 1897-98, Emma Martin was the teacher at a monthly salary of $40.00.
The enrollment was 22. Total expenditures for the year were $'334.13. Board
members were G. W. Campbell and Jacob Hammig, Jr. No treasurer was listed.
The 1898 census showed children from the following families: ADAMS, BEARD,
BRAUNING, CAMPBELL, DAVIS, DAVENPORT, HOSKINS, GREGORY, PHILLIPS, ROBERTSON,
WISE, SIMMONS, and FRENCH.
The 1898-99 and 1899-1900 terms were taught by Ida Dorsey with the same
board members as in 1898 except for the addition of J. C. Wise as treasurer.
The first ten years of the 1900's had teachers Nora Lane, May Clark,
Etha Wise, Alpha Lane, Alice Hammond, Jennie Wasson, Alice Smith, and Emma
Dews for the term endirig in 1910. Board members were W. R. Green, Jacob
Hammig, and P. H. Weeks.
Alice Dicker, the teacher in 1911, remembers that a tornado struck the
district in the evening of an early spring day before she had left the
schoolhouse, and that her walk home was hazardous as she climbed over and
under fallen wires and other debris.
Teachers of the next ten years were Alice Dicker, Anna Woodward, Chas.
A. Kelsall, Mrs. Ruth Daniel, Nellie McLean, and Cora Eastman for the term
ending in 1920, with board members Alfred Heck, Chas. A. Wu1fkuh1e, and
Chas. A. Wise.
.
Bismark School was discontinued when the new Grant School was opened
in the 1960's.

Excerpts from "KANSAS" by Hon. John J. Ingalls
Diagonals drawn from Duluth to Galveston; from Washington to San
Francisco; from Tallahasse to Olympia; from Sacramento to Augusta,
intersect at its center.
Kansas is the nucleus of our political system, around which its
forces assemble; to which its energies converge; and from which its
energies radiate to the remotest circumference.
Kansas is the focus,of freedom, where the rays of heat and light
concentrated into a flame that melted the manacles of the slave, and
cauterized the heresies of State Sovereignty and disunion.
Kansas is the core and kernel of the country, containing the germs
of its growth and the quickening ideas essential to its perpetuity.
The history of Kansas is written in capitals. It is punctuated with
exclamation points. Its verbs are imperative. Its adjectives are superlative. The commonplace and the prosaic are not defined in its lexicon.
Its statistics can be stated only in the language of hyperbole.
The aspiration of Kansas is to reach the unattainable; its dream is
the realization of the impossible. Alexander wept because there were no
more worlds to conquer. Kansas, having vanquished all competitors, smiles
complacently as she su~passes from year to year her own triumphs in growth
and glory. Other States could be spared without irreparable bereavement,
but Kansas is indispensable to the joy, the inspiration, and the improvement
of the World.

�HOW TO TRACE YOUR FAHILY TREE
Finding out who your ancestors were is a fascinating adventure and is not
as difficult as it seems, if you know where to look. By NIKKI SCHULTZ.
Your great-great grandfather might well have been of royal blood; on the
other hand, your great-great grandmother might have been an infamous courtesan.
Interest in heredity is growing rapidly. What was once the hobby of the elite
and the intellectuals is fast becoming a serious project for people of all
backgrounds. One reason could be family pride and the natural resentment
at the attempts being made by our society to reduce everyone to a series of
computer numbers.
There has

There seems to
elders must be

also been a flurry of excitement throughout colleges and unistudents are being encouraged to investigate their heritage.
be a feeling of urgency, as oral records retained by family
recorded before they die.

Marianne Nemeth was one of the many college students who received an
assignment to trace her family tree. Miss Nemeth was not too enthused at
first, but her grandmother told her the family was originally from Pennsylvania via Hungary and the family name, at one time, was spelled Namath.
"My first reaction," said Miss Nemeth, "was oh boy! I might be Joe
Namath's long-lost cousin."
The Search Begins
Miss Nemeth began her quest, concentrating on the Nemeth, or paternal,
side of the family tree. She got off to a good start because her parents
and grandparents were able to supp~y dates and places. Her dad had a copy
of his birth certificate (Milwaukee, Wisconsin) which revealed that his
father was also born in Wisconsin. Grandfather Nemeth supplied the date
and place and within a short time, Miss Nemeth had acquired a copy of his
birth certificate from the county clerk's office.
According to her grandfather's birth certificate, great-grandfather
Nemeth was born in Pennsylvania, but no one knew exactly where, so Miss
Nemeth calculated his year of birth (his age was on Grandfather Nemeth's
birth certificate) and wrote to the Bureau of Vital Statistics in Harrisburg
requesting a search for that year. Amazingly, the birth certificate arrived
almost by return mail. So far, the search had been easy, but great-grandfather's birth certificate gave his father's place of birth simply as
"Hungary," and the family had no knowledge of where in Hungary he was born
other than that it was a very small village.
Miss Nemeth consulted with the local genealogical society for advice
and they suggested that she make some calculations with the aid of the
documents she had in her possession. If she could estimate the year in
which her great-grandfather's father arrived in the United States from
Hungary, she was told, the National Archives in Washington, D.C., might be
able to assist her further.

clues as

took a chance and guessed that the port of arrival was New York
even though her estimate of the year was incorrect, the National
somehow came up with a copy of the passenger list, which gave her
to where to begin her search in Hungary.

81

�"I think the most interesting part," said Miss Nemeth, "was actually
'seeing' the migration of my fami1y--from Europe to the United States and
then the migration west." Miss Nemeth also collected marriage certificates
along the way and found the documents to be quite revea1ing--showing professions,
first names, surnames and so on.
Miss Nemeth completed her class project and is now proceeding on her
own to trace the maternal side of the family tree. She's off to a start with
her mother's birth certificate, but the information on this side of the family
line is vague, so she expects that the search will be a bit more challenging.
Where to Begin
Families differ to such a great extent that it is impossible to 1is~ any
one search program that can be followed by everyone. For many, the search
may be only as far away as the local genealogical society or town clerk's
office. For others, a $3 check and a letter to the Immigration and Naturalization Service can provide a key to the past. For most, the project requires
time, effort and patience. It depends upon the information with which you
have to work and just how deeply you wish to delve into your family's past.
Members of the Daughters of the American Revolution can rely on written records
going back to the Mayflower, but persons of African and European descent
usually do not have written diaries to rely on, so the search becomes a bit
more challenging.
There are many agencies and services that will do some searching for
you, but the first and most important step is to collect as much information
as possible.
Drafting a Chart
You should first begin with a draft of a family tree chart to guide you
as you proceed to fit together the broken pieces. The sketch below is a
simple paternal tree of the Forester family, starting with the present generation and going back to Thomas Forester, born in 1814. Branches to include
brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles and so on are not shown because of the
spatial limitations of the magazine. (Great-grandfather Charles there produced nine children, so you can imagine the width of the full-blown tree!)

�Fill in as much information as possible, including dates and places of
birth and marriage and death, and then proceed step-by-step to fill in the
rest of the facts as they become known to you through the documents or vital
statistics that you will be collecting.
Many will know enough about their parents--where they were born, where
their parents (your grandparents) were born--but for those of you who do not
know, you must begin from scratch.
Some of the answers might be found in family Bibles or other documents
that might have been stored away in attics and trunks. If these are not
available, interviewing your parents or a family elder should reward you with
places and dates of birth.
If your relatives are not nearby, prepare and send them a questionnaire.
It would be a good idea to send a questionnaire to as many of your relatives
as possible, as certain facts might be known only by some.
When you know the date and place of birth, a copy of a birth certificate
can easily be obtained. The birth certificate will reveal the names of your
grandparents and, in most cases, their occupations at the time of the birth
of your father (or mother). Most birth records will also show the country in
which the parents of the child were born. You can then move on to the next
step which would be to trace the birth certificates of your grandparents,
then the birth certificates of their parents, and so on.
If you do not know the exact date, but know the exact place of birth,
you can estimate the year of birth and request a search. In most places you
can request a search for a period covering an entire decade, but knowing· the
exact dates will save you both a lot of time and effort.
If
or town
will be
need do

the place of birth is in the United States,the city, county, state
clerk's office will have the birth records. (In some localities, it
the department of health or the bureau of vital statistics--a11 you
is check the telephone book for the correct name.)
Foreign Records

For birth records in foreign countries, you can write directly to the
bureau of vital statistics in the village, city or town; and when in doubt
as exactly where to write, you can write to the U. S. consul in that country
for assistance. He will not secure the document for you in most cases, but
he will be able to advise you as to where you should direct your inquiry.
If your forefathers did, in fact, come from Europe, an interview with a
relative or a search through family papers might reveal naturalization information or the name of the ship and date of arrival in the United States.
The National Archives, Central Reference Division, Washington, D. C.
20408, has customs passenger lists dating back to 1820, with a few as early
as 1787. Lists prior to 1820 may be on file at the port of entry or' the state
archives in the state where the port is located.
Passenger lists for ships arriving in New York, a main port of entry,
are available except that the years from 1874 to 1896 are not indexed and
they are unable to provide a page by page search of these lists unless you
can provide the name of the ship and the specific date of arrival. If you
are near Washington, D. C., archive's librarians will make the lists available to you in the Microfilm Research Room. For those unable to get to

83

�Washington, D. C., the National Archives will send a list of organizations which list the names of persons who will do the researching for you
for a fee.
Departure Date
Passenger lists usually disclose the exact place and date of departure
and the closest relative in the passenger's native country or in the United
States. You might also find names of relatives who arrived on the same ship
and then migrated to a different part of the country.
If you know the name of the ship, but not the date of arrival, The Morton
Allan Directory of European Passenger Steamship Arrivals, available in all
large public libraries, lists the names and arrival dates of ships arriving at
New York from 1890 to 1930, and Philadelphia, Baltimore and Boston, from 1904
to 1926.
Pacific Coast ports are not included in the passenger list records at
the National Archives. The San Francisco passenger lists were destroyed by
fires in 1851 and 1920. The California Historical Society, 2090 Jackson St.,
San Francisco, Calif. 94109, has lists of persons who arrived-in California
and indexes to the names on the lists, mainly in the 1820-1869 period; but
the lists are not original records as they had to be prepared from newspapers and other sources.,
The National Archives ask that you do not send money in advance for a
passenger list search. You will be billed $1 for the copy if they are able
to find the entry you are seeking.
If you are able to obtain a copy of the passenger list, you will have
sufficient information to write to the Immigration and Naturalization Service
for a copy of the naturalization petition. Write to the I &amp; NS, at 119 D
Street, N.E., Washington, D. C. 20536, .or your nearest office, for application
form N-585.
When you have completed the application, send it to the nearest office,
except in those cases where naturalization data is desired relating to
naturalization that took place between September 21, 1906 and April 1, 1956.
These applications should be sent to the Washington, D. C., office.
The basic search fee is $3 and is not returnable. For the basic search
fee you will also receive a copy of the first page of the naturalization
petition or admission record, but the petitions contain a w~alth of family
information and so it is recommended to request a copy of the entire petition.
The cost is 25¢ per page, so you can get all of the four pages that you need
for the basic search fee of $3 plus 75¢.
If naturalization occurred prior to September 7, 1906, the place of residence at the time of naturalization must be furnished. Records prior to 1906,
however, rarely contain information regarding the subject's family.
The National Archives also has naturalization proceedings but only of
the Washington, D. C., courts from 1802 to 1926, and copies and indexes of
naturalization documents from 1787 to 1906 filed by courts in the states of
Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Rhode Island.
Also available at the National Archives are U.S. Census records from
1790 to the present. If the locality of your family is known to you, you
can purchase, for a small fee, a copy of the reel of microfilm showing the
census information on your family. Census records, if complete, will disclose the names of all family members, as well as their ages, occupations,
incomes and places of birth.

�Genealogical searches by those of Irish or Scotch ancestry seem to be
easy, and a guide to genealogical records and repositories in Ireland is
available in most public libraries. The book is called Irish and ScotchIrish Ancestral Research, by Margaret Dickson Fally. The Irish Historical
Society in Dublin is also willing to give a helping hand.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is presently engaged in
a large-scale way in tracing the genealogy of its church members., Their
services are also available to non-members for a small fee, so if you do encounter problems, you can write or visit the nearest Mormon Church for assistance and they will be more than willing to share their expertise with you.
Negro History
It has long been assumed that the Negro had no traceable history beyond
that of a slave, but author Alex Haley has proved this to be wrong by tracing
his past to a seventh-generation ancestor in a village on the Gambia River.
Haley spent thousands of dollars and seven years' work in his quest to discover his past. He will be sharing his research methods in a book which will
be written as a guide for black genealogists, and the story of his own search
will be told in a soon-to-be published book entitled Roots.
Haley is also going even one step further by creating a black genealogical
library in Washington, D. C. Through his search he learned that documentation
is available for the blacks, such 8S plantation inventory lists, slave-sale
records and emancipation records. His library, which will be open iIi 1976,
will make available these records along with records from villages in Africa.
The knowledge being so unselfishly shared by Haley will be of invaluable
help to the many thousands of blacks who have been unsuccessful in fitting
together the pieces of their broken pasts. White Anglo-Saxons have been at a
distinct advantage in their searches due to the careful recordkeeping, but in
the case of the blacks, the search can be painfully complex.
An important point to remember while tracing your family tree is to
attempt to do more than compile names and dates--look into the occupations
of your ancestors and find out more about the history of your family. If
it's possible to speak to someone who actually knew your parents or grandparents, take a tape recorder along and let him tell you the stories he might
recall about your family. Sometimes a non-member of the family can give you
an even greater insight about your pedigree. This will make your project
even more interesting, and who knows what you will discover?
A name in itself might prove to be very revealing, as second names came
into being because everyone in the village was usually named John, William or
Richard. This became so confusing that it became necessary to adopt a last
name.
The names used came from four major sources--occupations, location, father's
name or an unusual characteristic. In other words, John,the village blacksmith
became John Black or John Smith, and John, the village suit maker, became John
Taylor.
If John lived on the hill, he became John Hill, or, if near a stream, John
Brook. The Foresters (see preceding page) might have roamed the woods with
Robin Hood in Sherwood Forest.

85

�Using the father's name resulted in Williamson, Johnson and Richardson.
Patronymics (father's names) in other countries ended in "sen" (Denmark
and Norway), "pulos" (Greece), "ez" (Spain), and "wiecz" (Poland). In some
countries, prefixes denoted "son," such as the Scotch and Irish use of "Mac"
and "Mc" and the Germanic "Fritz." In Ireland~ the 0' denotes grandfather.
Characteristics resulted in such surnames as Longfellow, Fox, Walker,
Dancer, Witty, Elder, and so on.
The Dictionary of American Family Names, published by Harper &amp; Row, is
available at most libraries and will give you the origin of thousands of
names plus possible variations in spelling.
Knowing who and what you are is certainly far more interesting than
being "MXl02876." Good luck in your search!

It was sleeting overhead and slushy underfoot. People hurried along 42nd
Street with their coat collars up about their ears, hardly glancing at passersby.
A young Negro, carrying a heavy valise in one hand and a huge suitcase in the
other, hurried toward the Grand Central Station, slipping and skidding as he
went. Suddenly a hand reached out and took the valise, while a pleasant voice
said: "Let me take one, brother! Bad weather to have to carry things." The
Negro was reluctant, but the white man insisted: "I'm going your way." All
the way to the station they chatted like two old buddies. Years later, Booker
T. Washington said: "That was my introduction to Theodore Roosevelt!" --Maenna

Excerpts from: "KANSAS" by Hon. John J. Ingalls
It seems incredible that there was a time when Kansas did not exist;
when its name was not written on the map of the United States; when the Kansas
cyclone, the Kansas grasshopper, the Kansas boom, and the Kansas Utopia were
unknown.
I was a student in the Junior class at Williams College when President
Pierce, forgotten but for that signature, approved the act establishing the
Territory of Kansas, May 30, 1854. I recall the inconceivable agitation that
preceded, accompanied and followed the event. It was an epoch. Destiny
closed one volume of our annals, and, opening another, traced with shadowy
finger upon its pages a million epitaphs, ending with "Appomattox".

�LAWRENCE DAILY JOURNAL WORLD, Thursday, October 10, 1929. Lawrence, Kansas
COUNTY IN PATH OF EARLY EXPLORERS
Trading Post Near Lake View First Permanent Settlement
Douglas county was first visited, as far as is known, by white men in
the persons of French traders who passed up the Kaw river in the first quarter
of the'eighteenth century. They traded with the native Indian tribes. A
century later white explorers followed the waterways to the west.
Fremont, in 1842, camped near the present site of Lawrence on bluffs
commanding a view of the river. He was surveying a railroad route to the
Pacific coast and stated in his report that there were enough trees along the
Kaw bottom to furnish ties.
Fremont followed the Santa Fe Trail which crossed the Wakarusa near
Franklin, southwest of Eudora, and passed near Lawrence and left the county
beyond Big Springs.
The first permanent white settlement in Douglas county was made by
Frederick Choutea, who, in 1827, established a trading post on the south side
of the Kansas river a little above Lake View. Shortly after he moved to
Shawnee county.
Some of the men who came to Douglas county in 1854 settled along the
California Road. This road was one of the great highways of travel between
the East and the Pacific coast and crossed the county from east to west. It
was also the route over which much of the Pottawattomie trade passed, one of
the great crcossings of the river being at Uniontown, in what is now Shawnee
county. The men who settled along the road and the dates they came were:
J. W. Lunkis of South Carolina, April 13; A. R. Hopper, ~~y 9; Clark Stearns
and William H. R. Lykins, May 26; A. B. and N. E. Wade, June 5; J. A. Wakefield,
June 8; Calvin and Martin Adams, June 10; J. J. Eberhart, June 12; Brice W.
Miller, June 6; J. H. Harrison, June 14; H. S. and Paul C. Eberhart; June 15;
S. N. Wood, June' 24; Mr. Rolf, June 24; L. A. Lagerquest, July 4; James F.
Legate, July 5; William Lyon and Josiah Hutchinson in J~ly.
On the Wakarusa, south of the road Joel K. Goodwin settled in May, and
William Breyman, July 18.
T. W. and R. F. Barber settled near the site of Bloomington, in 1855,
and Oliver Barber at the same place, June 1, 1857. During the same month
and at a later date John A.Bean, N. A1quine and M. Albin settled a little
further west, where the village of Clinton now stands and Albin opened a
store there.
Napoleon Bonaparte Blanton settled on the Wakarusa four miles directly
south of Lawrence and built a bridge, known as Blanton's Bridge.
G. W. Zinn, A. W. Glenn, M. S. Winter and William Shirley settled on
the site of Lecompton in 1854.
On what is now the site of Vin1and, Jacob Branson, Charles W. Dow,
Franklin N. Coleman, George Cutler, F. B. Varnum, William \Vhite, Josiah
Hargus and Harrison W. Buckley took claims during the year. At Baldwin City,
Robert Pierson, Richard Pierson, Jacob Cantre1 and L. F. Green took claims.

96

�On the claim of Paris Ellison, two miles southeast of Lecompton, was laid
out the site of Douglas. G. W. Clarke and others were associated with him as
town proprietors. Late in the year William Harper and John Chamberlain settled
at the forks of the road at Big Springs.
Prior to the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska bill much land had been
marked out by Missourians for preemption in the Kaw Valley against the protests
of the Indians. The county was part of the Shawnee Indian reservation set
apart by the treaty of 1825.
Claims of Pro-slavery men were marked by logs cut and sliced and piled up.
Signs were erected stating that these claims belonged to these men. Those
preempting the claims stated that anyone who attempted to take these claims
would be shot.
The boundaries of the county as defined by the Territorial legislature of
1855: "Beginning at the main channel of the Kansas River, at the northwest
corner of Johnson County; thence south to the southwest corner of Johnson
County;. thence west twenty-four (24) miles to a point equidistant between
the limits (embraced in the original plats) of the towns of Lecompton and
Tecumseh". Evidently, there was no boundary on the west unless it was that
line between Tecumseh and Lecompton. It is presumed that the river formed
the north boundary. The county was named for Stephen A. Douglas, author of
the Kansas-Nebraska Act.
By 1883, the limits of the county read from the northwest corner of
Johnson County in the main channel of the Kansas river, then up the channel
of the river to the southwest corner of Leavenworth County •. thence north oriwest boundary line of Leavenworth county to north line of township 12, thence
west on said north line to the middle of the main channel of the Kansas river.
This took in what is now known as Grant township. The western boundary line
was determined as the line between the second and third tiers of sections in
Range 17.
Populations in different years: 1857, 3,727; 1860, 9,207; 1865, 15,814;
l875i 18,365; 1880, 24,773; 1885, 25,092; 1890, 23,828; 1895, 23,075.

* ***
Kansas was the prologue to a tragedy whose epilogue has not been
pronounced; the prelude to a fugue of battles whose reverberations have
not yet died away.
'
Floating one summer night upon a moonlit sea, I heard far over the
still waters a high, cle:ar voice singing:
"To the West! To the West! To the land of the free.
Where the mighty Mi:ssouri rolls down to the sea;
Where a man is a man if he's willing to toil,
.
And the humblest may gather the fruits of the soil."

�THE KANSAS COLLECTION
Located on the University of Kansas campus, in 220 Kenneth Spencer
Research Library on the ground lev.el, The Kansas Collection, is the place
where a researcher with early Kansas ancestors will find answers to many
unanswered questions. It was established in 1892 by Carrie Watson, first
Librarian of the university. The Collection is dedicated to the preservation of the social, cultural, political, and economic history of Kansas
and the Kansas region (Nebraska, Colorado, Oklahoma and Missouri). Manuscripts, photographs, books, newspapers, and maps are to be found in the
Kenneth Spencer Research Library, completed in 1968 with temperature and
humidity maintained at levels which prevent the physical deterioration of
the collections.
The Kansas Collection has holdings of the papers of famous men and less
well kno\?U figures in the story of Kansas. These collections represent the
full breadth of the Kansas region's history and prehistory and the impact of
the Plains' environment on the history of the nation.
Personal and family papers, such as those of the Stewart-Lockwood
family, of the Fowler-Rose-Thompsonfamily, of the William Clarke Quantrill
and of the famous John Brown, are contained in::the Collection.
The papers of politicians, the writings and correspondence of the
Balzac Hoffman; the manuscript autobiography
of an ex-slave, Andrew Williams; the vast financial enterprises of J. B.
Watkins Land and Mortgage Company and many, many others are among the major
collections.

DIARISTS RECORD TRIALS AND TRAVAILS OF PLAINSMEN LIFE
by Roger Martin
The pages are brittle in these diaries, as are the spirits of the longdead who wrote in them.
Elizabeth and Wesley Harvey Duncan were living in Lawrence in 1867 when
they decided to join a group headed for California. Mrs. Duncan kept a diary.
On departure day, June 24, 1867, whe writes:
"The dreaded day has at last
come." The next day the pain of leaving has eased enough for her to write,
"For the first time since leaving home, I could eat a little."

98

�Thumb through the pages quickly, and you'll notice the disintegration
of Mrs. Duncan's handwriting, her letters turning to alphabet soup by the
last pages.
It's a point noted by Sheryl Williams, curator of the Spencer Library's
Kansas Collection, though she hesitates to connect the change in the handwriting to any psychic disintegration.
While she avoids the role of analyst, Ms. Williams is the gatekeeper of
the collection's diaries, of which there are.approximate1y 500.
And she can tell you precisely that 4,000 linear feet of manuscript
ephemera is included in the collection's holdings of diaries, business records,
ledgers and letters.
Disavowing a burning, personal interest in the diaries, Ms. Williams says,
"My interest stems from being a person who works with this kind of material
all the time. My interest is not drawn to diaries above and beyond other things."
Yet somehow the world of the diaries is enfolding. Hours of reading
telescope into minutes, it seems, as one squints to piece letters into words,
words into sentences.
And what is not written seems, at times, translatable into a silent cry,
an untold loneliness.
In the last diary kept by Hrs. Duncan that the Spencer possesses, she
writes from San Jose in 1868. After filling the pages faithfully for two
months, she falters, making her second-to-last entry on March 1: "Sabbath
day has come and with it a sadness I can not shake off it is so muddy I could
not go to Church or Sabbath schoo1." After an unexplained silence, the final
entry (Nov. 21) reads, "Spent the evening at Aunt Betties ••. think more of my
dear Aunt every day. Hope she will always be my aunt."
Not all the diaries are so mournful, Ms. Williams says. Although some
people relate feelings, others give detailed descriptions of their surroundings and still others offer no more than the weather and the time they woke
up and went to bed.
Why would the last group write at all?
Ms. Williams says she believes that perhaps those people felt bound to
write for some reason but then were uncomfortable with expressing their
thoughts.
One frustration she has felt reading the diaries, she says, is a lack
of detail about the trivial matters of daily existence.
They'll tell you they cooked supper, for example, but they won't tell
you what they ate, who did the cooking or what role the children played in
meal preparation, she says.

�Does the diarists' neglect extend to the great as well? Yes, she says,
presenting a modern analogy in a rhetorical question: "How many people
wrote anything down when President Kennedy was shot, for example?"
Yet J. Findlay Harrison, writing in 1866, relates a bit of lore he
learned in Lawrence about the town's sacking by William Clark Quantrill's
raiders in 1863:
"There are now to be seen but few evidences of the burning and massacre
of the 21 Aug 63. Quantre11's (sic) band of assassins came in at 4 a.m.,
murdered 189 men, and destroyed the town, Yet cowards as they were they would
avoid a closed house for fear of a shot ... Two doors south is a stone house,
the owner of which refused to surrender and dared them to break in -- After
some pa~ley they rode off leaving him and house in safety -- A woman of noto~
riety named Sally Young saved the inmates of the Eldridge Hotel -- by her
influence over Quantre11. .. "
One diary contains drawings. It was kept by the gaudily named German
immigrant, Carl Julius Adolph Hunnius, who did surveying in the Midwest for
the U.S. Army and kept diaries of his work in 1876.
His meticulousness shows on the penciled-in title page of his diary, which
appears thus:
Survey
of the
Sources of the Red River
April 25th to June 30th_1876
And it shows in his careful drawings
of a buffalo on page 149, beneath which is written, "An old one," and of an Indian papoose on page 153.
Another diary, this one by Robert Gilbert who came to America from
England in 1855, is quilted from personal observations and expenditures
C'Ju;ty 31 -- Shoes Soa1ed"), brief essays and poems.
A sample essay is titled "On the Art of Swimming."
"Go into the water carefully just up to the knees," writes Gilbert.
"Lay down flat with your arms extended and hands resting in the grounde,
head gently held back 50 as to keep your mouth just out of the water. Now
raise your arms and feet -- together extending your arms laterally to and
fro. You find you are a swimmer directly."
At first, Ms. Williams couldn't think of any humorous moments in the
diaries. Then, she said, "There is one diary .•• Let me think •.• "
She paged through Harrison's log to an Oct. 1, 1866 entry.
Osawatomie, he writes:

From

"This month of September has presented the oft heard of showers of
grasshoppers. They are everywhere, in the air; on the earth, in the waters
and the houses. My wheels crush thousands. They are nm., while writing,
setting on my slippers, my hand, my arms, my back and covering my legs. Not
less than a dozen on one at once. When driven away, others take their place

100

�immediately. In. looking near the sun, millions can be seen; the light shining
through their wings presenting the appearance of snow -- and the bare places
of the earth is red with these torments -- The wheat is all destroyed,
where it has come up, nothing else has been injured."
Ms. Williams notes that the diaries "often come to us from relatives"
who discover the Spencer Library is interested in preserving such documents in
its stable 70-degree-temperature and 50-percent-humidity climate.
Lots of people store such material in their attics and closets, she says,
without realizing their potential research value or the damage that can be
done to them if they are stored less kindly, say, in a garage, where they are
subject to extremes of temperature and humidity.
Those interested in keeping Aunt Bertha's memories from mouldering, then,
might consider donating her diary to the Spencer Library, where it will yellow
more slowly and provide researchers with a backward-running river to the past.
Despite the cowardly Quantrill's activities here, diarist Harrison saw in
Lawrence of an earlier time, a city he loved.
He writes, "If I could make my bread and butter at the law, I would
settle in this town. It is a second Terre-Haute."

Excerpts from:: "Kansas" by Hon. John J. Ingalls
A few days later, my studies being completed, I joined the uninterrupted
and resistless column of volunteers that marched to the land of the free.
St. Louis was a squalid border toWn, the outpost of civilization. The
railroad ended at Jefferson City. Trans-continental trains with sleepers
and dining-cars, annihilating space and time, were the vague dream of a
future century.
Overtaking at Hermann, a fragile steamer that had left her levee the
day before, we embarked upon a monotonous voyage of four days along the
treacherous and tortuous channel that crawled between forests of cottonwood
and barren bars of tawny sand, to the frontier of the American Desert.
It was the mission of the pioneer with his plough to abolish the
frontier and to subjugate the desert. One has become a boundry and the
other an oasis. But with so much acquisition, something has been lost for
which there is no compensation or equivalent. He is unfortunate who has
never felt the fascination of the frontier; the temptation of unknown and
mysterious solitudes; the exultation of helping to build a State; of forming
its institutions and giving direction to its career.
Kansas in its rudimentery stage, extended westward six hundred fifty-eight
miles to the crest of the Rocky Mountains, the eastern boundary of Utah. By
subsequent amputation and curtailment, it was shorn to its present narrow
limits of fifty-two million acres; three thousand square miles in excess of.
the entire area of New England. Denver, Manitou, Pueblo, Pike's Peak, and
Cripple Creek are among the treasures which the State-makers of 1859, like
the base Indian, richer than all his tribe, threw unconsciously away.

103

�THE PAST
Confined by a chronic leg ailment, Johann Christian Schmidt, Gene
Becker's great-grandfather, wrote a detailed history of his life on the
prairie. The following is a condensed version of his chronicle.
Like so many other immigrants to America, Johann Christian Schmidt
was lured by the dream of land ownership.
Schmidt and his family had left Germany in May of 1852. For three years
after their arrival in the United States, he worked on farms, first near
Albany, N. Y.
Moving his family to Fort Dearborn, Ill. (now Chicago), Schmidt worked
on the farm which belonged to an old friend from Germany. While he toiled
for others, the desire to 0\-111 land grew.
Word had been passed among Fort Dearborn farm workers that government
land was available for homesteading near Sioux City, Ia. In May of 1856
the Schmidt family and other German immigrants started their 500-mile trek
in four wagons.
Averaging 20 miles a day, the travelers negotiated rivers, swamps and
steep hills, all the while fending off hordes of flies.
Upon reaching Sioux City on July 3, 1856, the group dispersed. , Christian
Schmidt, his wife and children had a shanty for shelter, one cow, a wagon,
and $5.00 in his pocket. He must have wondered if this was really the
promised land of opportunity. In dismay he asked his wife, "Oh, why did we
not stay in Illinois?"
Facing such odds, Schmidt drew on the one source of strength that had
helped him through rough times before and would do so again.
He fell to his knees to pray. His nephew, Philip Held, had walked
over to the wagon to see if the Schm{dt family was settled in for the night.
When he saw his uncle praying in earnest, he asked, "What troubles you?"
Christian explained his predicament to the young bachelor. "Here is $20
I'll loan you," his nephew said. "Tomorrow we will find some work for you."
Schmidt and his son Philip soon found a job in a Sioux City trading
post, moving barrels and stacking lumber. They worked hard and quickly
earned enough to repay the debt and purchase a sack of flour.
It didn't take the Schmidt family long to acclimate themselves to their
new home. They were an industrious group, never missing an opportunity to
put their talents and penchant for work to good use.
Schmidt and his sons would collect hay for other farmers' cattle or they
would clear land of trees for a fee and sell the lumber they kept. The
elder Schmidt sold baskets he had woven from willow branches growing wild
along the Missouri River, while his wife and daughters took in extra laundry.
In time, the Schmidts' ambitious nature brought them, in trades or cash
exchanges, a yoke of oxen, lumber to build a home and four milk cows. But
there was still the one reason Schmidt and his family had come to Sioux' City.
Late in the summer of 1856, Schmidt prepared to fulfill his dream of
land ownership. Traveling with other members of the immigrant group, he
laid claim to 160 acres, 15 miles northeast of Sioux City, on the Floyd River.
Memories of their bleak arrival in Sioux City had faded, but there were
still a few dark clouds on the horizon.

104

�Food was in short supply during the spring of 1857. The Schmidts had
run out of flour and no one would or could sell such a valuable possession.
Knowing the situation, the God-fearing settler knelt and prayed for relief
from the food shortage.
When Schmidt arose, he saw a wagon approaching from the East. He
greeted the driver and was told that the wagon was ~u11 of flour for sale.
Sometime later, the Schmidts' youngest daughter developed a headache
and a high fever and within 24 hours was dead.
In 1859, the Schmidt family prepared to move to the homestead. (No
explanation is given for the 2&amp;~/2 year delay.) They tore down their
frame house in Sioux City and rebuilt it next to the docile Floyd River.
The following spring, melting snows pushed the Floyd over its banks
and onto the Schmidt homestead. They lost most of their livestock and
might have perished themselves if neighbors had not come to the rescue.
They rebuilt their home on higher ground.
The following years were busy ones. They found their land more bountiful than they had ever imagined. With home-made tools, the Schmidts planted
wheat, corn, sorghum, oats and a large garden. They sold much of what~·­
they grew.
Not long after the family had moved to the Floyd River Valley, preachers
began visiting. These "circuit riders" preached in the homes of the settlers.
In 1860, a Rev. H. K1iensorge came by spring wagon and horse to organize
a congregation. As was the custom, the itinerant preacher would make his
home with a family. The Schmidts welcomed Mr. K1iensorge into their home.
Surely their reasons for accepting the preacher were genuine, but Schmidt's
present-day descendants think there may have been an ulterior motive. In
1864 Mr. K1iensorge and Johann Schmidt's daughter Christina were married.
In the fall of 1863, Christian had begun to make sorghum molasses.
His horse was hitched to a pole that rotated a heavy stone press. Schmidt
was feeding stalks into the press when he caught his middle finger in the
grinding stones.
His horse stopped at once. But when Schmidt yelled to his family for
assistance, the animal spooked and started to move, drawing his hand further
into the press.
His sons could not free their father's hand. One boy rushed to the
neighbors for help. Schmidt stood with his hand in the press for half an
hour before it was freed.
They wrapped his hand in a sheet and drove the horses as fast as they
could to Sioux City, 15 miles away. The doctor amputated three fingers.
He asked two men to hold Schmidt while the wound was being closed. But
Schmidt said, "You need not hold me, for God will hold me sti11." He
calmly sat still as the doctor did his work.
When the doctor finished, Schmidt's wife asked how many stitches. The
doctor, exhausted by the delicate work, did not know. Schmidt quietly
spoke up: "28 stitches and 14 knots."
It was a year before his hand was completely healed, but the injury
did not keep the homesteader from his work.
Like many other homesteaders, Christian Schmidt's title to his land
was contested. In his case, only a small part of his acreage was lost.
The railroad claimed the land Schmidt had purchased for $200 belonged to the
government. A judge ruled for the railroad.

105

�It was about this time that new labor saving machinery began to
appear in the Sioux City area. Schmidt noted that a man could be hired to
cut grain with a horse drawn mower for 75¢ an acre. A farmer could also
rent a threshing machine for so much an acre.
As Christian Schmidt aged, he left his sons more and more in charge.
He began to devote more of his time to a church which he helped found and
build, and to visiting his children and grandchildren.
He died at the age of 79 in October of 1886.
In his chronicle, Johann Christian Schmidt observes the evolution of
a young country and a new society. It is a tribute to him and others like
him that they did not lose faith but persisted in taming the land and
leaving a legacy of courage to families like the Gene Beckers.

INFORMATION ON

�THE GENEALOGISTS' CODE OF ETHICS

The fourth annual meeting of the Federation of Genealogical Societies
; held in Omaha, NE on August 10th, [1979] has brought forth a "Code of
Ethics" which the Federation will recommend that all genealogists be
, asked to sign when applying for membership in each of their society
members. There has been some questions arise concerning the strong
wording in this code. The GENEALOGISTS' CODE OF ETHICS is as follows:
"In order to protect the integrity of Public Records and library
books, I am ethically bound and hereby agree:
1.
2.

3.

4.
5.

That I will treat with the greatest care and respect all
public records and library books which may be made available for my use.
That I will speak with courtesy to all employees of a vital.'
records office, or of a public library, when requesting to
see any vital record or library book, and that when finished
with such record or book, I shall express my thanks to the
person attending ·to my. requests.
That I will not tear, erase, mark or remove any public record
or library book, and will refrain from mutilating, defacing or
otherwise destroying any part of such public record 'or
library book.
That when I have finished viewing any public record or library
book, I will return it to the proper or designated place.
That I will not repeat or publish any item which will reveal
the illegitimacy of any person born within the past 75 years.

This pledge is freely made by me upon penalty of forfeiting my
membership in this society.

Signature
This Code was adopted as it was felt that if we are to ask state 1egislaturers to open vital records to genealogists, we should take steps to
,show that genealogists are worthy of this trust. Most of us already
to1lowthe methods and requirements set forth in the Code, but each of
us have heard of or seen the misuse o~records and library books; and
we all know we would not publish an illegitimacy without the consent of
the persons involved. But by using the "honor system" already strong
among genealogist and possibly printing the code ou,the back side of
your membership card, we can physically show public officials we are
~incere in respecting and caring for public records and library books.
The code was meant as a guide and can be adjusted to fit your society
requirements. We hope you will consider adopting this Code or desigt'ting
a similar one for your society.

His grandfather, Elisha Winchell, was an officer in the Revolutionary army;
and an uncle, Sha10r Winchell, died in the service in the war of 1812, and
several of his other relatives were soldiers in both wars. His father,
Lyman Eldridge was a mechanic. His mother's name was Phoebe Winchell. The
Winchell family have a printed genealogy running back for several hundred
years, which is fully referred to in the sketch of Hon. Reuben W. Ludington,
in this book.
Sha10r W. Eldridge had but little of the advantages of education,
merely those of the common schools of his time, but he became, nevertheless,
a. man of good practical business scholarship, and acquired a fund of information which made him a leading business man in all his multifarious pursuits.
His early tastes were for large enterprises. In his youth he engaged in
trade and in various occupations until he was twenty years old, when he
l~unched out as a railroad contractor, .and took a large contract on the
Cpnnecticut River Railroad, embracing some of its heaviest work. He had important contracts afterward on the Wooster &amp; Nashua, in Massachusetts, the
Keene Railroad in New Hampshire, the Hartford, Fishkill &amp; Providence Railroad,
the Middletown &amp; Berlin Branch, and afterward on the extension of the Connecticut River Railroad, Vermont Central, New Jersey Central, and the New Haven &amp;
N~rthampton, and other contracts.
These works occupied his time for about
twelve years.
I
When he abandoned this kind of work he started for Kansas, arriving at
Kansas City January 3, 1855. He then purchased of General S. C. Pomeroy,
the American House, at Kansas City, which General Pomeroy had previously
purchased for the Emigrant Aid Society. This house was the head-quarters of
the free-state men, and in it Colonel Eldridge and his family had many
thrilling adventures. The pro~slavery men stopped at the house in their
incursions into Kansas, and their demonstrations frequently produced difficulties and threatened disaster to the house. Edwin S. Eldridge, his youngest
brother, was with him in all these trials, and proved himself a man of expedients as well as courage.
At one time the house was beset by the border-r.uffian, Captain Pate, and
a large body of men, demanding that the free-state men be delivered to the
mob, when Colonel E1dridf,e and his brother, Edward, stood at the door with
arms in their hands and conunanded them to halt at the peril of their lives.
A ~ong interview followed, and Pate gave up the effort. A half dozen prominent
obnoxious free-state men were then in the house, and their lives were saved
by· this desperate courage against fearful odds.
When Governor Reeder escaped from Kansas, in May, 1856, he went to this
house and was hid away for three weeks, making many hair-breadth escapes.
At.one time, Mrs. Eldridge, to whose heroic courage her husband was greatly
indebted, quickly covered Governor Reeder up with a bed, and as :the ruffians
ap~roached the door of the room, she and her sewing girls sat quietly at
work,-whi1e a whole company of exasperated men looked upon the scene, chagrined and disappointed at finding nobody in that room but a q~iet family at

�work. At least a half dozen times similar expedients were resorted to, to
:prevent him from being discovered. His meals were handed to him over the
transom, or clandestinely carried to him as circumstances suggested, but
'he never came to the public table. Finally it was determined that the
'Governor must be got away from the place, and some means planned for his
'escape. The steamboat Converse lay at the wharf for the night, on its
'downward trip. Its captain was about the only free-state steamboat commander on the Missouri river. With him Kersey Coates arranged that he
,should take the Governor on his boat about six miles below Kansas City, in
'disguise as an Irish laborer. A man was confidentially hired to bring a skiff
'from Wyandotte to a secluded spot just below the city, and to this Governor
Reeder and Edwin S. Eldridge and his wife were to repair in the dark.
'Governor Reeder was dressed in heavy brogans, corduroy pants and a striped
:hickory shirt, his whiskers and mustache shaved off, his false teeth taken
out, and a dirty clay pipe in his mouth. Thus attired he sat and smoked
:in the public hall, and afterward walked quietly away, seeking the place
selected. Here he met Mr. E. S. Eldridge and his wife, and the three
entered the little boat and proceeded down the river about six miles to a
'wood-yard. Here he hid himself till morning, and when the boat came along
hailed it, and it landed. The captain gruffly inquired, "Where are the
'passengers?" Reeder replied that there \-lere none but him. To this the captain
responded in a very angry manner, reproving him for hailing his boat, and
gruffly ordering him aft among the deck hands. Thus Governor Reeder escaped
from Kansas, where hundreds of desperate men sought his life, traveling the
'entire trip to St. Louis as a deck passenger.
In the early part of 1856, he leased the Free State Hotel in Lawrence,
and opened and equipped it as a first-class hotel. On May 21, 1856, it
was destroyed by Sheriff Jones and his posse, under indictment as a nuisance
by the pro-slavery court, David R. Atchison aiming the first cannon. After
finding that cannon balls had little effect upon it, the house was fired
and totally destroyed, with nearly all the furniture, provisions and groceries.
Colonel Eldrirlge was present and witnessed the destruction.
Immediately after he ,was appointed to go to Washington with a memorial
of the free-state men, and attended the Philadelphia Convention which
nominated Fremont, and was also a delegate to the Buffalo Convention, where
he was appointed one of the National Committee, and made its agent for the
Kansas' immigration., Under this authority, he conducted large bodies of men
to Kansas through Iowa, Nebraska, and back of the then settlements of Kansas,
through where Holton now stands, to Topeka. With one of these parties, numoering about three hundred and fifty men, he was captured by United States
troops. The cannon was buried but many of the arms were taken. Afterward
Colonel Eldridge headed a company of men who recaptured these arms from
the government officers at Lecompton. He raised large amounts of provisions
~nd ammunition which he brought in at various times during the entire period
of the difficulties, and was among the leading men of the times who did a
vast amount of service in the free-state cause.
He procured a large amount of lead pipe at Council Bluffs, powder and
other ammunition, and although he paid for them, had a fight at that place
to take them away. The same trip Robert Morrow procured two hundred stand
of arms of Governor Grimes, of Iowa. In the elections of 1857 he was an
influential leader. By entreaties he influenced Secretary Stanton, acting
Gpvernor in the absence of Governor Walker, to call the newly-elected freestate Legislature together to secure a vote upon the Lecompton constitution.

117

�Lane, in the meantime, had been holding meetings allover the Territory
'for the same purpose, and the-members of the new Legislature had met to
:demand the same action, but Colonel Eldridge absolutely went to Lecompton
:and came back with the proclamation.
In 1857 S. W. Eldridge, with his brothers, Ed. S., Thomas B., and
Ijames M., erected the Eldridge House in Lawrence, at a cost of eighty
thousand dollars, furnished, opened and conducted it until it was destroyed
'by Quantrill, August 21, 1863. The same year he started a daily stage line
'from Kansas City to Topeka, Lawrence to Leavenworth, and Independence,
Missouri, to Weston, Missouri. He enlisted as a private in the 2nd Kansas
,regiment and was elected lieutenant, serving six months. In 1863 he was ap,pointed a paymaster in the United States Army by President Lincoln, and
served about one year, when he resigned. In 1868 he was appointed quarter:master-general of Kansas, by the Kansas Legislature. In 1869 he was elected
!county commissioner of Douglas county. The same year he was elected city
'marshal of Lawrence.
In 1865 he rebuilt the Eldridge House at Lawrence. In 1867 he built
the Broadway HoteL.in Kansas City, now called the Coates House. In 1871
he built the Eldridge House at Coffeyville. In 1872 he built the Otis
House at Atchison.
He became a Free Mason at Kansas City, Missouri, in 1855. He believes
in the principles of the Christian religion. He has been a Republican since
,its first organization.
He was married to Miss Mary B. Norton, by whom he has had seven
children, three only of whom are living. The surviving children are married
and in prosperous circumstances. His wife was among the most cultivated,
patriotic women of Kansas, a helpmate in the true sense of a good wife and
affectionate mother, and to her, more than all others, he is indebted for
all that there has been in his character as a useful man and good citizen.
There were few women among the pioneers of Kansas so universally beloved.
She died March 5, 1869. January 25" 1871, he was married to Miss Caroline
~oby, of Dundee, New York, a most estimable, intelligent lady.
Colonel Eldridge is now largely engaged in the mining business in the
San Juan country, in company with his brother, Edwin S., and others.

QUANTRILL'S)LOSS MUSEUM'S GAIN
By David Olson
J-W Staff Writer
TOPEKA -- Larkin }lilton Skaggs was a former Baptist preacher who gained
the dubious distinction of being the only member of Quantrill's raiders to
be killed during the sacking of Lawrence in 1863.
Nearly 150 pioneer Lawrence residents died during that Aug. 21 raid, a
testament to the fever pitch of the conflict between Missouri pro-slavery
forces and Kansas "free~staters."

118

�Now, thanks to a'donation by the descendents of one of the men who
,witnessed Skagg's death, the Kansas State Historical Society has the
'raider's rifle and a four-page account of the story. An official of the
historical society says the acquisitions help document previous accounts
of Skaggs' part in the raid.
I

"The whole story is kind of a grisly affair," says James Nottage,
'assistant director of the state historical museum here. "After Skaggs
what a beautiful name for a bandit -- was killed, accounts say townspeople
'dragged his body through the streets. His body was never buried. It was
'left in the open to rot. Skaggs became for the people a kind of symbol
,of their frustration over the raid."
Nottage retells the tale based on the account of John Wesley Willey,
:a mill operator near Lawrence whose children donated the historic rifle
:and Willey's hand-written account of what happened to the historical society.
Willey, Nottage says, emerged from his house the morning
,for water. Just before hearing the sound of gunfire from the
of Lawrence, he was warned by a rider that the town was under

~ody.

The rifle, a .71 caliber Austrian Augustin carbine, is labeled a true
artifact by Nottage. The historical society has several relics, including
bones reputed to be the remains of Quantrill and some melted glass from a
burned building, he says. But true artifacts are rare, Nottage says.
"Artifacts have historical value - they were actually used by people
and we can learn from them," Nottage says. "Putting those bones out in a
~isp1ay case isn't going to tell us anything about Quantrill."
The significance of Willey's four-page account of Skaggs' death serves
to help sort out earlier stories, Nottage says. It provides the best
account available of the ori'gina1 pursuit and capture of the raider, he says.
The carbine is on display with other pieces of Quantrill history in the
historical. muse:um, 120 W. 10th in Topeka. Nottage says that because of the
diary's deteriorating condition, it cannot be put on display. However, it
i,s available to historical researchers, he says.

�$10 BUYS CLUES TO ANCESTRY AT 'NATION'S ROOT CELLAR'
By Forrest Hintz
Staff Writer
PITTSBURG -- Ben Downey, in the Personal Census Service Branch here,
didn't have much information to go on in my case. Only the name of a
grandfather I'd never known and a state.
He pulled a film of the 1900 census from the files and threaded it into
a reader. The machine whined briefly and displayed a readout.
"That was an easy one," Downey said. "Sometimes it takes longer to
find the film than the listing. We'll make a transcript of it."
The transcript contained a w~a1th of detail. For example, it showed
that my grandfather was born in Wisconsin in October 1859, and his parents
were German immigrants. He could read and write and spoke English; had been
married 14 years, had a mortgaged fram and sold milk.
It showed that my grandmother was born in Iowa in January 1861 to Irish
immigrants. She also had been married 14 years and had borne two children.
She could read and write and spoke English.

My father was listed, too, but not his sister, who died a few years
later. Census information since 1900 is ·confidentia1 and can be released
only to direct, bloodline descendants when certain conditions are met.
Last year, the office handled 195,000 requests for a search of the
records. Some applicants wanted only proof of age. Others were trying to
trace their ancestors, with the result that the facility is sometimes called
the "nation's 'Root' cellar."
Francis A11ai, director .. said the Personal Censns Service Branch tlasbui1t
here in 1958, primarily to provide proof of age for Social Security applicants
and others whose birth records were incomplete or non-existent.
"This is the only place in the U.S. where every census record since 1900
is under one roof,"'he said. "Everything before that, including the first
census in 1790, is in the National Archives."
Each year, he said, the age search workload is from 6 percent to 10 percent lower than the year before because of better record-keeping. However,
there has been a tremendous increase in the number of requests for genea10gical information.
"We're an unusual government agency," A11ai said. "We get no appropriated
money. We have to operate solely on what we can generate in fees. That pays
our 145 employees, 10 of whom are kept busy answering correspondence."
A WPA project in the 1930's undertook the enormous task of alphabetizing
the old lists, beginning with the 1900 census. These were to be coded for a
Soundex system and filed alphabetically by states.
Only the 1900 and 1920 censuses were completed, however. A11ai said
the rest probably never will be done because "unless we can see our way clear
to amortize what we do, we don't do it."
"We know that 56 percent of our work comes from seven states and 78
percent of it comes from 14 states, and we have those." He said all census
records have been filmed.

123

�Although some records are easy to locate, others are extremely difficult.
Indians, for example, sometimes were listed by their Indian name on one census
and by their Christian name on another, making comparison almost impossible.
The same applies .to Alaskan Eskimos, and birth records often are fragmentary
or non-existent.
}tisspe11ings are cornmon on the census rolls, which is why the Soundex
coding system is used. Said A11ai: "Enumerators were paid by the number
of heads they counted, not how well they spelled."
Questions asked by the enumerators through the years record the changes
that have taken place in the nation. In 1790, they wanted to know how many
slaves were owned. In 1860 they wanted to know those who were insane, idio~ic,
paupers or criminals. By 1880, they had a supplemental schedule for Indians
and the sick. They wanted to know if you had a radio set in 1930 and when
you last worked.
Because of the interest in genealogy, Mrs. Marty Brown said the facility
has brochures listing sources of information unavailable in the census records.
"We can't always provide all the answers," she said. "But we can help
narrow down the search. For example, some asked the state or country of
the parent's birth, and that gives a clue as to where to look. Some asked
the age at the first marriage. It's simple to figure when that was, and
many states or counties can't search without an exact date."
She said census records prior to 1900 are now public, and the film can
be obtained from the National Archives through most libraries. However,
you must make your own search of the records.

An application is required to launch a search of the records since 1900.
The applicant's signature must be verified. An intentionally false statement
can result in a $10,000 fine and five years in prison.
"We're very particular about confidentiality," Mrs. Brown said. "If
one of your ancestors is living, you must have his written consent for the
search. In the case of a deceased ancestor you must furnish proof of death,
preferably a death certificate. As alternate sources, you can use an obituary
notice, cemetery record - even a picture of his tombstone if it shows name
and date of death. We always return all original documents sent to us."
She said applicants should furnish as much information as they have;
names, dates, addresses (those are often extremely important) and anything
else that can help identify and verify the search.
The fee for the initial search is $8.50, plus $2 for each "line entry."
A line entry is the complete census record of one person for the year in
question. The resulting transcript is certified accurate.

Eagle". ---Submitted by Mary Jamison, Lawrence, Kansas.

�DOUGLAS COUNTY CEMETERIES: REST IN PEACE
By Jeff Collins
J-W Staff Writer
While the dead in Douglas County rest in peace, the living continue
to care for their graves, even in rural areas where the gravesites may be
tiny and remote.
According to county records, more than three dozen cemeteries, several
more than 100 years old, are dotted across rural Dougals County.
Who keeps the old graveyards from becoming choked with brush? Who
keeps the roads leading to them cleared? Who pays for it? How do the
little cemeteries endure?
Most of the rural cemeteries are small -- the largest is just smaller
than 8 acres -- and many are filled with graves of the forebears of families
living nearby.
The Stull Cemetery, for example, contains clusters of graves of the
ancestors of the Stulls, the Wulfkuhles, the Walters and the Bahnmaiers;
descendents of all live in the area.
In some cases, the families of those buried in a cemetery take the
chief responsibility for its maintenance.
"My great-grandfather, my grandfather arid my father are all buried in
the Vinland Cemetery," Woodrow Sturdy, president and sexton of the Vinland
Cemetery Assn., said. "That's one reason I took on the job. To make sure
it was maintained in good shape."
Or as George Deay, president of the Deay Cemetery Assn., said, "A
man wouldn't want to bury his relatives or relatives he didn't know in a
hog lot."
Records in the Douglas County tax appraiser's office show 37 rural
cemeteries in the county.
Albert Gilpin, the auditor in the Kansas Secretary of State's office
responsible for overseeing maintenance budgets of cemetery corporations,
said most rural cemeteries in Kansas, and in Douglas County, fall into
four categories:
Registered cemetery corporations that sell plots to the public,
whether to make money or on a non-profit basis.
Cemeteries run by cemetery districts. These cemeteries tend to
contain fewer than 10 acres and have very few burials a year. They
receive a portion of the county's annual tax levy to pay for maintenance
and improvements, but not more than 1 mill (a mill is $1 of tax for each
$1,000 of assessed property value) can be levied for anyone cemetery
district.
-- Church and other religious cemeteries maintained by churches with
plots available only to church members and their immediate families.
-- Private cemeteries maintained by volunteers.
rural areas.

125

These are common in

�Maintenance standards for cemeteries in Kansas include mowed grass,
sturdy fences and adequate entrances, Gilpin said.
Michael Kracht, state assistant attorney general, said that cemeteries
that are not maintained properly may be designated as abandoned, and poorly
administered cemeteries may be turned over to a trustee for liquidation.
Kracht is reviewing the Williams Cemetery, a one-acre graveyard in the
Colyer cemetery district in southwestern Douglas County that is landlocked,
which violates the standard for adequate access.
Ben Brohammer, 'secretary of the Colyer cemetery district, said, "The
people living where the access is are not free enough'to let anybody in
that wants to." He said district officials are attempting to find a
solution to the access problem.
Douglas County has seven cemetery districts, all based in the western
half of the county, Darlene Hill, county budget director, said. Only
residents living in the districts pay cemetery taxes, which ranged from
.33 to .95 of a mill this past year (meaning the cemetery tax on a home
with an assessed value of $10,000 ranged from $3.30 to $9.50 last year).
Budgets for the districts this year varied from $475 in the Twin
Mound district to $3,700 in the Colyer district, Mrs. Hill said.
For many cemeteries not in districts, money for maintenance usually
comes from donations from nearby residents or relatives of the people
buried there. In some cases, people donate time to maintain the graveyards.
The Deay Cemetery, five miles southeast of Eudora, relies on volunteer
labor and donations for maintenance, George Deay said.
The cemetery began in 1859 when his grandmother was buried there, he
said. His grandfather and uncles took care of the half-acre graveyard
before him, Day said, and when they died, he took over the job.
"It's something that needs to be done, that's all," he said.
Some of the upkeep on individual plots is done by relatives, he said.
"A lot of_times, say, a man dies, and his wife, she'll come and rake
the ground and seed it down," Deay said.
Sturdy, who maintains the Stony Point and Vinland cemeteries, said
volunteers did much of the upkeep of the two Palmyra Township graveyards
until a few years ago. Mowing and other jobs were handled partly by
supporters who would join one day a year for a "cemetery day." But that
stopped when "we got to the place where we have enough money to maintain
them," he said.
Sturdy estimated maintenance costs about $400 a year for the Stony
Point Cemetery and $600 a year for the Vinland Cemetery, both about three
acres. A maintenance fund pays the bills, he said.
Most maintenance money goes ,to paying to have the grass mowed, cemetery
officials unanimously agree.

�· THE GROVER CEMETERY: VIOLATION OF A SACRED TRUST?
By Melissa Cordonier
J-W Staff Writer
For centuries, cemeteries have been considered, legally and morally,
as specially protected. According to an Albany Law Review article, early
Greeks "carefully guarded the private rights of individuals in their
places of interment."
U.S. Supreme Court Justice Benjamin Cardozo, while serving as a judge
on the New York Court of Appeals, once ruled that "the dead are to rest
where they have been laid unless reason of substance is brought forward
for disturbing their repose."
Historically, laws have been passed to protect burial plots, and
Kansas state codes have at least four different articles relating to the
formation, care and preservation of cemeteries.
But for private cemeteries, especially for those lacking visible
signs of use as a cemetery, the law is less clear, according to the state
attorney general's office. The Grover Cemetery in Lawrence is a case in
point.
According to historical records, Joel Grover, one of Lawrence's
founding fathers, and his wife, Emily, were buried in a family cemetery
on a parcel that is now the southeast corner of 23rd Street and Lawrence
Avenue.
A residential subdivision, Springwood Heights, is being developed on
the site of what some local residents say was the Grover family cemetery.
But because no visible signs of a cemetery exist today, and the plot was
not recorded in the land's deed, the cemetery, if it exists, may not be
protected legally.
Glenn Kappelman, president of Parkside Investors, the group developing
Springwood Heights, said he was aware of the stories about the Grover
cemetery, but he said there was no written or physical evidence of the
burial plot.
said.

"We just don't have any written or scientific evidence," Kappelman
"It's all been hearsay. I wish we could get it resolved."

Pending some development, however, he said the lots on which the
cemetery may be.located will be sold as planned.
Kappelman, who is active in the historical society, said he regretted
the uncertainty surrounding the Grover cemetery. He said he had tried,
before development of the land began, to determine whether the cemetery
existed but to no avail.
He said he often wondered about pioneers who were buried in unmarked
graves, and he said he thought it was unfortunate that a part of history
would be lost to future generations.
According to records compiled by the Douglas County Historical Society,
Joel Grover came to Lawrence in l854.and served as the city's first marshal.
Grover settled his family on a large tract on what is now the southeast
corner of 23rd Street and Lawrence Avenue.

127

�Grover played an active role in early Lawrence history, the records
show. He was a colonel in the Free State forces, was elected a state
representative in the late 1860's, and served as county commissioner in
1870.
When Joel Grover died on July 28, 1879, the Lawrence Daily Journal
said, "He was a man of decided opinions, and had no patience with men who
were more easily swayed ... according to Mr. Grover's wishes, he was buried
upon the farm, a short distance south of the house."
Joel's wife, Emily, died on December 14, 1921. Her obituary states
that "burial will take place at the home where she has lived for 66 years."
The Grovers' son, Ernest and Jay, who never married, lived on the
family homestead until their deaths in 1953, and they were buried in Oak
Hill Cemetery.
The Grover brothers' survivors, who had moved to California, sold
the family homestead, and the land passed to various owners.
One sales agreement, executed on Sept. 6, 1961, specifically mentions
a cemetery on the property.
"It is expressly understood and agreed that a small burial ground
exists on the southwest portion of said real estate," the sales agreement
reads, and the legal description of the property shows that the cemetery
may be in the Springwood Heights development.
Merle Ward, Rt. 1, lived on a farm just to the west of the Grover
brothers for several years before and after their deaths. The Ward family
knew the Grover brothers well, and they remember the Grover cemetery.
Recently, Ward returned to the old Grover place. On a knoll south
of where the house once stood (it has been razed), stand several tall
evergreen trees, and Ward identified the area, now lots 6 and 7 in
Springwood Heights, as the site of the cemetery.
But Kappelman said he had heard stories that the remains had been
removed from the Grover homestead. And Arvella Frazier, daughter of the
late Bernard (Poco) Frazier, a nationally known sculptor who o\vned the land
for 13 years, said she remembered some "holes" near the evergreen trees.
"When we inoved in, there were big holes in the ground surrounded, by
tall evergreens," she said. "We speculated that it might have been a
cemetery because they used to mark them with evergreens. We thought the
graves might have been moved. But we sure didn't know. It was sort of a
guess."
Although all of the property owners prior to the Fraziers remembered
that a cemetery might have been on the property, and some remember the
specific site, none can recall the removal of the remains.
A check of burial data at Oak Hill Cemetery, where the Grover brothers
are buried, and at Memorial Park Cemetery shows no record of Joel and Emily
Grover.
But even if the graves still remain on the old homestead site, the
laws on preservation of cemeteries such as the Grover plot are cloudy,
according to Michael Kracht, assistant attorney general.

128

�Kracht said that although case law indicated that the mere burial
of bodies in a given plot has constituted dedication of the plot as
a cemetery, the Grover case "is a question of fact for a court to decide."
A state statute passed in 1979 requires cities or counties to
prevent the use of a cemetery for "any purpose other than for burial," and
Kracht said the law included those cemeteries where no physical evidence
existed.
However, the law also states·that cities must have "established, acquired or otherwise assumed control" of the cemetery. In addition, Kracht
said, there must be proof, such as dedication in a property deed, that
bodies are buried there.

UNTOLD TALES STILL ETCHED IN STONES
Untold stories lie buried among the bones at the old graveyards
scattered through rural Douglas County.
The stories unfold slowly in the imagination of the visitor who walks
among the marble and granite tombstones of the silent cemeteries.
Echoes of Kansas' past can be heard in the familiar names, the names
. of people living today where their ancestors stopped on their way West in
the last century.
The Stull Cemetery nine miles west of Lawrence is the final resting
place for Isaac, Aaron and numerous other Stulls. Clusters of graves
belong to the forebears of the Wulfkuhles, the Halters, the Bahnmaiers and
other living Kanwaka Township families.
Were the pioneer families as devout in life as they were in death?
The most common epitaph is religious: "Blessed are they who die in the
Lord" reads the grave marker of Meredith S. Hendricks, 1857-1902.
How brutal was life on the edge of America's civilization? Children's
tombstones usually are small and simple, stating only the name of the
child and the years of birth and death. But the marker above the grave
of two-year-old Juanita May, 1915-1917, is a notable exception. The
small white stone, carved in the shape of a.heart, bears the inscription
"Our Darling."
How was death greeted? The stone:·bearing the name of Addie Richardson,
1875-1907, says she has "Gone from a home of love to her heavenly home
above."
A poem is inscribed on the tombstone of Rose Anna Scheer, 1846-1895:
"Peaceful be your silent slumber
Peaceful be your grave so low
You no more will join our number
You no more our sorrows know."
Sometimes the natural deterioration that comes with age has a way of twisting
tombstone messages.
On the curve-topped tombstone of Louisa Scouten, who was buried in 1866
in the Mound View Cemetery just west of Clinton Lake, a hand with an extended
index finger pointing heavenward was sculpted at the top of the grave marker

129

�with the words "There is rest" carved in the white stone. But the
tombstone has toppled, and the hand now points due east, toward Lawrence.

DOW CEMETERY
By W. L. Hastie, 1940
The Dow cemetery, or burying ground, is located one-half mile south of
Stony Point school-house, and one-fourth mile east, on the farm that was
preempted by Ladd Dow, the father of Charles Dow, who was killed by Coleman,
November 21, 1855, in a quarrel over this quarter section line.

130

�Charles Dow was the first buried on this plot of groound.
Ladd Dow came to Kansas soon after the death of his son, and'. took
possession of the farm.
Early in the spring of 1873 Ladd Dow and Geor'ge W. Hastie (my father)
traded farms, and this is the first I remember seeing this burying ground:
as I recall, there were about fifteen graves showing at this time; one
child was buried there soon after we moved to this farm. Stony Point
cemetery was established that same spring, so there were no further burials
in Dow cemetery.
As I remember, three graves had stones set on edge around them, stones
being eighteen inches high and covered over with flag stones; one small
plot had a high picket fence around it. It is now a pasture and hard to
find the graves.
Ladd Dow was buried in Stony Point cemetery but in later years his
remains and those of his son Charles were removed to Baldwin City cemetery.
So far as I have been able to obtain, the following are buried there:
Three children of Josiah and Sarah Mcqueen, Robert Bryson, born Oct. 28,
1856, died 1858, Kansas Lillie, born Jan. 5, 1858, died i862. These two
girls were buried the same day.
One son of Samuel and Angevine Gill, Robert, born Aug. 3, 1857, died
Sept. 3, 1857.
Three infant children of George and Helen Fitz, one boy and two girls.
I wrote Mrs. Myra Fitz Rodman, of San Diego, California, and quoting from
her letter in reply: "I can't give you much information about the children.
My recollection is there were two girls and one boy that died in infancy,
never were named, don't think they lived a day and I remember I asked
my mother once what was the matter that they died. Se replied, 'Because
I didn~t have care.' That was true, I wonder,they didn't all die-- cold
log houses, nothing to do with, doctors so far away and no nurses, neighbors
not near and not all good in sickness, but think the babies must be buried
in the Dow cemetery, no other place at that time."
Children of Sol Lapham and wife are buried here, and a young man who
made his home with the Varnums.
This being the only burying place in Coal Creek valley, many of the
early settlers found the Dow cemetery their last resting place. I have
been told there are as many as seventy-five burials.
Vinland Cemetery was established in 1872 and Stony Point in 1873, so
no further burials in the Dow cemetery.
Note April 1980 c"The cemetery is located on the Augelli farm 1 mile south of Vinland,
1 1/2 miles west and 1/2 mile south to historical "Dow Cemetery" marker,
then east in a pasture.
No stones are showing but a very few are laying under the pasture
grass.
There is no road to the site but visitors

l31

may

walk to it.

RURAL SCHOOLS AND SCHOOLHOUSES OF DOUGLAS COUNTY, KANSAS
written by Goldie Piper Daniels
STARR (YOUNG) SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 19:
About 1870 the district purchased two square acres in the SE corner
of the NE 1/4 of Sec. 16 Twp. 12 Range 18 from the Treasurer of Douglas
County for the sum of $10.00. This was from school lands set aside by
the legislature of 1864.
For years there was friction between the Irish and the German residents
of the community and one of the disagreements was on the name of the school
(Starr or Young).
The teacher John Godfrey was the superintendent of the Sunday school.
The Annual Report of 1897-98 showed the district clerk to be; J. W.
Slutz and director was Henry Hafner. The teacher was Lottie.Brune whose
salary was $25.00 per month. The Census Report showed the following
families with children of school age:
W. H. AGNES, Mary and Ima ANGEL, Cloyd BAHNMAIER, Lewis BEEDER, John
and Ella CUMMINGS, Lula and Joseph GROWEL, Mildred LA HUE, Sylvia and
Thurell McDONALD, Mary SHUTZ, Frank SLATZ, Elizabeth SLUTZ, William
SLUTZER.
Vera Nelson was teacher for 1898-99.

Other teachers beginning 1900

were:
Maggie M. Cullum, Carrie Bla.keman, Vera Smith, Katherine Migliario,
Minnie Williams, Viva McKenzie, Golden Starr, Clara Marlin, F. C. Migliario,
Fred Migliario, Mildred La Hue.
Members of the board were Fred Sulzen, W. P. Gravel, and J. L. Fitzpatrick.

IN SEARCH OF THE FAMILY TREE
by Gloria O'Dell (1971)
Biblical families recited their genealogy back over ma~y-. ·generations.to
identify themselves and their place in time. Today's pace meagerly allows
for a given name, middle name (frequently shortened to an initial) and a
surname. Ever more common is the computer which abstracts personal identity
reducing people to a positive or negative impulse on the electronic computer
tape or a number filed in numerical order rather than by name in alphabetical
order.
Mrs. Joyce Kline, secretary of the board of directors of the Topeka
Genealogy Workshop, says there is a definite increased interest in family
history.

132

�"Records are more available now than before and the Vietnam war has
made people wonder who they are and where they came from;' she said. These
questioning people are turning to family genealogy to find out Family history
is not limited to biblical figures or to descendents of the Mayflower
passengers.
Increased membership in the Workshop reflects this resurging interest.
Formed five years ago with six members, today's membership fluctuates
between 70 and 120 with a constant turnover.
Afternoon and evening groups meet mainly to help educate people to do
their own research. The group has a private library composed of donated
materials to aid other members.
One such Topeka woman has expanded her family's identification through
research of their family tree. Mrs. Glenn G. (Helen) King has been piecing
together the puzzle of her children's ancestry for 10 years. Working on
family history is "really like working a gigantic jigsaw puzzle," she says.
Like a puzzle, many pieces look as if they fit, then don't. It's a puzzle
which has no complete picture on the box cover to act as a guideline.
Mrs. King's genealogical interests go back to her childhood: "My
grandmother used to tell me stories of when they lived on the corner of
the Indian reservation in Jackson County. I was always fascinated by her
tales."
However, it was the query of "two great-aunts in Colorado that really
got me started," she explained. "They had a published account of the Imlay
family, but nothing on the Morrison side who lived in eastern Kansas. Since
I am close to Burlingame and Harveyville where the Morrisons lived I was
able to do the necessary research."
A trip to the cemetery, an early find in the Kansas State Historical
Library and her personal curiosity ignited and fueled the search for the
pieces. Ten years later, she has traced one lineback 12 generations into
the l600s. Other branches of the family go back five or six generations.
While most people can~ot go beyond their grandparents, Mrs. King can
refer to any of the numerous ancestors by name and how she found them with
immediate recall.
In her research she has gathered together historical books, genealogical references, phone directories, military records, and correspondence
with persons throughout the United States, Canada and Scotland. Separate
notebooks for each branch of the family, notes indexed by states, and
clippings of all kinds, fill six bookshelves, a three-drawer file cabinet
and numerous card files.
"It's taken a great deal of time. Interests in ceramics and cake
decorating were put aside to make more time for family research."
Still, she says, "I am behind in my correspondence, as she pointed to
letters filed in the first fourth of her file drawer. One query in a
genealogical magazine two years ago still brings in mail.
One side of her family, the Fairs, has gathered together annually
for 39 years for a family reunion in Manhattan. "This was a great
boost in knowing older relatives," she said. "I would recognize names in
census records that I had heard people mention at the reunion."

133

�This type of direct information can prove to be a stumbling block.
"I"ve yet to convince an uncle that the persons buried in Circleville
are his great-grandparents, not his grandparents," she said. "Sometimes,
too, someone may not tell of a family member who has "disgraced" the
family or perhaps will leave out incidents which are not favorable. When
this happens, Mrs. King says she doesn't press for details, "They're too
close to the situation yet" and she respects that reticence.
Three years ago Mrs. King and her sister decided to chart the relationships of persons attending the reunion. The reunion. invitations
mailed to 100 families contained forms for the family to fill out and
return. Equipped with a return of 60 per cent, Mrs. King filled out
seven huge sheets of paper displayed at the reunion so those attending
could see just how they were related. "They knew they were cousins but
didn't know exactly how,'" she said.
Mrs. King, secretary of the Fair family reunion this year, said she
compiled a mimeographed history which is revised as the other 40 per cent
contribute their personal interlocking puzzle piece.
Chance conversations can open the doorway to the lost brother or cousin
which completes the family picture for a generation, or can open up a new
family for others.
Mrs. King tells of her sister overhearing two women ask about a Jonathan
Fair at the historical library. Introducing herself, she explained her
family had a J~nathan Fair and perhaps they could be of the same family.
A little research into Civil War. records eS.tablished that the Jonathan
Fair the two women were looking for was actually a Parr who had changed the
spelling of his name to Fair after the Civil War. "Variant spelling of a
name that hasn't been changed legally, carried down through generations
can be one of the biggest stumbling blocks," Mrs. King pointed out. Names,
too, can be inadvertently changed in records because a census taker heard
it differently, or someone's handwriting was not clear. In this business
of depending on records, a fly speck in the family Bible can transform a
"T" into an "F", or a discolored and faded record might obliterate a
person's name. Finding a name frequently marks the beginning of an extensive
search to verify it.
Interesting sidelines can come out of plotting the family tree. She
has discovered that three branches of her family five and six generations
back all had lived in the same county in Indiana and had come to Kansas.
"They probably were not even acquainted. The more I research the smaller
the world becomes."
Her research, however, has not been confined to her own family. As a
member of the Clan Morrison of Arnerica,Mrs. King has helped other Morrisons
in their search. One such referral turned up a Robert Marion Morrison
better known to his fans as John Wayne.
Hrs. King is a strong advocate of doing her part in helping generations
who follow. A compilation of marriages in Adams County, Ohio, is to be sent
to Ohio to add to their records.
The Harveyville cemetery will have accurate records because of the
work Mrs. King has put into completing ~he available records and organizing
the information by alphabetical order, plot numbers and families, adding
any kind of information that might be helpful to someone later. She takes
her portable typewriter and folding chair along to record tombstone

134

�inscriptions which a fellow historian reads. Many small cemeteries have
incomplete records or none at all. Some records are kept in shoe boxes
in the home of the cemetery record keeper and are extremely vulnerable to
extinction unless someone puts them together in an organized form and
files them with the county or library.
She presently is teaching a community service course on family genealogy
at Washburn and is an active member of the Topeka Genealogy Workshop.
"The interest in family history is making a comeback," she says
happily. Her own family, her husband: Karl, 18; Marty, 16; Anita, 14;
and Connie, 7, she says, however are mostly content to let her do the work
and research. Their interests right now center on fishing skating, and
Blue Birds.
Should anyone ask them to identify themselves, however, they're equipped
to give more than name and serial number as they find their place in the
jigsaw puzzle.

I AM NOT BOUND TO WIN
I am not bound to win,
But I am bound to be true,
I am not bound to succeed,
But I am bound. to live up to what light I have.
I must stand up with anybody that stands right;
Stand with him while he is right,
And part with him when he goes wrong.

THE RISE AND FALL OF LONE STAR, KANSAS
by Paul H. Nieder
16 July 1975
INTRODUCTION
Lone Star, Kansas is located approximately 12 miles southwest of
Lawrence. It occupies a rather scenic site nestled against the south ridge
of the Washington Creek valley. Washington Creek, a permanent stream,
skirts the townsite on the east and south. The main road leading from
Lawrence toward southwest Douglas County forks at Lone Star. One road continues up the valley toward Lone Star Lake which was built by the Civilian
Conservation Corps during the New Deal. The other crosses Washington Creek
and continues south toward southern Douglas County. Lone Star was never
served by a railroad. The nearest shipping point has always been at
Lawrence except for a brief period in the 1880's and 1890's when Clinton
four and one-half miles to the north served that purpose.
Lone Star today contains approximately 15 residences. One of these has
been converted from the former community school. Another has been vacated
in recent years. In addition there is a church, bank building and former
Ford garage. Of these only the church continues to perform its original
function. The landmark of the town, the Flory store and hall, was demolished
in the spring of 1975, slightly over one~hundred years after the founding of
the town. The population of the town is probably nearly as large today as
it ever, was. However, all residents are either retired or gain their livelihood elsewhere.
Over the course of the last one-half century, Lone Star has slowly lost
the social, economic, institutional and service functions that qualified it
as an important central place. It is the main purpose of this paper to
reconstruct the social and economic character of the Lone Star community
during the years that it was acquiring and maintaining its reasons for
existence. Secondarily, the information presented will be used to test some
assumptions about the impact of 20th century conditions upon rural communities.
This paper is not intended to be the history of a community or a small town.

�12

Those seeking such a history of the Lone Star community, at this point in
time, will have to write it themselves. The reader may, however, be able
to discern, at least in broad outline, what such a history might entail.

PART I
1
The establishment of Bond, Kansas as a central place of significance
occurred over the course of some 20 years between the mid-1870's and the
mid-1890's.2 The establishment of the original post office in 1875 should
be used as the date for the founding of the town even.though that post was
not located at the eventual town site but was moved there at a slightly
later date. 3 In the early 1880's .the school for Douglas County District
Number 47 was moved to the town site. Apparently the first business enterprises appeared at Bond (Lone Star) in the mid-1880's.4 By the late 1880's
several businesses had ap~eared at Bond (Lone Star) and the population had
reached approximately 10.
By 1891 the population had reached approximately
25. 6 Three years later the population had climbed to about 44, which is
almost as many permanent residents as the town would ever have. 7
It is extremely difficult to reconstruct the demographic character of
the Lone Star community.8 State and federal census data was collected for
townships and incorporated towns. In the investigation of any smaller area
the exact statistical picture cannot be reconstructed because the addresses
of residen~s were not recorded. 9 The situation is further complicated by
the fact that the Lone Star community (as defined here) lay within no less
than three townships: Clinton, Marion and Willow Springs.
A generalized picture of population trends can be de·rived from the
census records, surviving atlas and maps plus the recollections of longtime residents of the community. The federal census records include the
following totals for the three rural townships in question:
Clinton

1860 1870 1880 1890 1900 1910 1920 1930 1940 1975 est.

Springs

931 1163 1374 1223 1278 1278 1034

943

881

837 10

One clear generalization can be derived from these statistics: the population
of rural southwest Douglas County peaked between 1880 and 1890 and declined
rather steadily thereafter. Did this general population trend apply specifically to the Lone Star community? A compilation of the number of farmsteads
within two miles of Lone Star that were recorded on various surviving maps
sheds some light on this question:

Even though these figures can only be considered as approximate, they do
c1early'indicate a slight decline ocrural population contemporaneous with the

�13

12
growth of the town of Lone Star itself.
If we enV1S1on such small towns
as the product of the goods and services they provide their immediate
rural communities it .is difficult to account for a growing town in a
shrinking rural community. Another complicating factor was the introduction
of the automobile in the second decade of the 20th century. The mobility
provided by the automobile should have reduced rural dependence upon goods
and services provided at Lone Star, but apparently it did not, at least not
at first. 13

A review of the land ownership patterns within two miles of Lone Star
sheds little light on the changing demographic picture. The surviving maps
indicate that the size of ownership units has not changed dramatically
over the last 100 years. In the latter decades of the 19th century ownership
units in the vicinity of Lone Star were frequently large. Quite a few of
these ran several hundred acres in size. Most mvnerships units, however,
were 40, 80 or 160 acres in size. There were several clusters of very small
ownership units without farmsteads which apparently served as wood lots.
The size of present day ownership units follows the same general pattern;
some larger ownership units are mixed with a larger number of medium-sized
ones and some small ones (which generally contain the homes of rural commuters).
The dramatic change has come not in the size of ownership units but
rather in the size of farm operational units. Farm operational units in
general have become ever larger over the last 100 years with the most
dramatic increase taking place in the post-World War II period. In the
long run what is reflected here is the switch from labor-intensive agriculture to labor-extensive agriculture. This trend accounts for much of
the decline in rural population especially in the mid-20th century.14
PART II
The first service provided at a central point in what became known as
the Lone Star community was a post office established in 1875. 15 The early
post office moved from home to home or from one business to another with
several changes of postmasters.1 6 In the 1880's the mail was delivered
"semi-weekly" from Lawrence. 17 Postal patrons picked up. their mail at
the post office before rural free delivery was established in the early years
of the 20th century. Even after the establishment of rural free delivery,
the Lone Star post office continued to serve the community for many years. 18
The first school to serve what became known as the Lone Star community
was located a little over one mile southeast of the present town site and
was established sometime before 1873. 19 The school was moved to Bond (Lone
Star) in the early l880's.20 The school was first refe ed to as Lone Star
in the board minutes for the December 18, 1897 meeting. 2l A new school
building had been completed in the fall and winter of 1895-96 and Lone Star.
was the name selected for the new school. That school continued to serve:
the community with eight grades of instruction in a single room for over
60 years. The enrollment in the Lone Star elementary school declined from
well over 50 at the turn of the century to about 40 in 1920~ and finally
fell to around 12 just before the school was consolidated.2~
A highly signi£:icant step in the integration of the Lone Star community
was taken in 1905 with establishment of the Lone Star Mutual Telephone Company. This cooperative telephone· company had a local operator and served

�14

subscribers within a few miles of Lone Star; it also provided a communications
link with the "outside" world. 23
The Lone Star State Bank was organized in early 1917 when 100 shares of
stock were sold to approximately 40 local farmers and businessmen, several
of which became directors of the bank.24 The bank opened in July, 1917.
By October, 1917 the bank's financial statements listed $9,966 in loans and
$12,960 ,in deposits. In 1920 the bank's financial statements listed $39,100
in loans and $65,480 in deposits. When the bank closed in 1935 outstanding
loans had been reduced to $17,900 and deposits had fallen to $14,400.
The bank survived the banking crisis of 1933 but rapidly declining
business indicated the liquidation of the bank during the Great Depression.
However, the immediate stated reason for the liquidation was "pressure" from
the state government designed to reduce the number of small state chartered
banks. 25 This pressure 6ed to voluntary liquidation of the bank by its
officers and directors. 2
.
One long-time resident of the community pronounced the verdict on the
existence of the Lone Star State Bank in this manner:. "Lone Star really
didn't need a bank; there wasn't no money around then."27 This very succinctly
sums up a large part of the problem especially in reference to the bank's
decline in the 1930's. It is much more difficult to explain why the bank
was founded and apparently prospered for a time. Was it the relative
prosperity of the period, a growing number of local' 'business transactions
or community pride? This writer suspects all three of these factors played
a part. In short, the bank was a concrete symbol of growing community cohesion.
Another example of growing community cohesion was the building of a
local church. The town of Lone Star itself did not initially have a church.
The community was served by two other churches: the Washington Creek Church
of the Brethren about three miles to the southwest and the Mount Washington
United Brethren Church about two miles to the northeast. 28 The Washington
Creek Ghurch of the Brethren was founded as an independent congregation in
1881. 2
Y~ny of the immediate residents of Lone Star attended the Washington
Creek church between 1885 and 1918 when a church building was constructed at
Lone Star. 30 The Lone Star congregation formally split from the Washington
Creek one and established itself as the Lone Star Church of the Brethren
in 1921. 31 The size of the Lone Star congregation was initially quite considerable. Twice in early 1921 attendance was placed at 67,32 and the
size of the congregation remained relatively stable over the years.33
The following chart presents a generalized picture of the growth of
businesses, institutions and others providing goods and services at Lone
Star in selected years from 1888 to 1918:

This chart shows a clear growth in the number of services and the sophistication of goods provided at Lone Star for the town itself and for the adjacent
rural community. This growth is especially marked in the first and second
decade of the 20th century at the same tine the automobile was beginning
to have an impact on rural America. This raises a question about the impact
of the automobile. Did it break down the cohesion of rural communities as
is frequently assumed, or, did it in fact enhance that cohesion? The evidence
presented here indicates that it did the latter, at least initially.
Several social and social service organizations were associated with
the Lone Star community in the first few decades of the 20th century. The
Lone Star Brass Band was one active group. Besides performing for the
community at its own bandstand, it played at picnics and ball games at Lone
Star an~ nearby communities. 35 The Lone Star Fraternal Aid Association
maintained a lodge which was used as a meeting place by various social
groupings. 36 The Lone Star Ladies Aid functioned as a church related service
organization. 37 The Lone Star Civic Protective Association was apparently
one of the more important social organizations in spite of its businesslike
title. 38 The Lone Star Jolly Stitchers Club combined sewing with social intercourse. 39 The Lone Star Literary Society combined debates and discussions
with social intercourse. 40 Somewhat more businesslike was the Lone Star
41
Farmers Union which represented the interests of the local agriculturalists.
In addition to the activities of specific organizations, more casual
community social activities occurred in considerable variety. These included
Fourth of July picnics, "tent" or "camp" meetings for religious revival,
Chautauqua lectures with music and entertainment, skating parties, ball games
(enough players for three teams between 1910 and 1920), "wolf hunts" (actually
the round-up of coyotes), school sponsored spelling bees and Christmas
parties, movies and just plain "socials" both within and among communities. 42
This degree of social activitiy centered at Lone Star indicates the existence
of a rural community with considerable social cohesion. Indeed, it is
probable the primary integrative factors within the community were social
rather than economic.

�16

CONCLUSION
Lone Star was a partial service community of considerable significance
to the immediate rural area. Around 1918, for example, one might have to
journey to Lawrence only to market his grain or livestock, purchase major
vehicles, household furniture, appliances, implements and some building
materials. The resident of the community could bank locally, have his
implements and automobiles repaired in many cases, gain medical attention
for his family and livestock, send his children to school, attend church,
purchase food and clothing, have some of his produce marketed and/or
processed, receive mail (and.veryimportantly.mail order merchandise),
belong to a number of social and social service organizations and take part
in a variety of social and recreational activities.
The most interesting and difficult question raised by the information
compiled for this paper concerns the relationship between the density of
the rural population and the services and functions of the central place
that has been heretofore reconstructed. Lone Star provided only a minimum
number of services and functions when the surrounding rural population was
greatest. As the rural population declined from the 1880's onward, Lone
Star acquired more and more sophisticated social, economic and service
functions. At first glance this situation appears to contradict assumptions
frequently made about small rural towns and their decline in the 20th
century. First of all, one must account for the relatively low level of
general functions and services provided by the central place when the rural
population was at its greatest. The large rural population of the latter
decades of the 19th century either could not afford, could not use or did
not need the many local services and functions that later appeared centralized
at Lone Star. Available evidence indicates that many early rural residents
of the area were both extremely poor and transient. Many moved into "backwoods" plots farmed primitively, cut wood, hunted, trapped, "worked out" and
moved on with hardly a trace even in the memories of their immediate neighbors.
This type of rural American could only afford a minimum of economic and
institutional services. He had limited means to travel even a few miles,
and yet· he did not stay in one place long enough to become "established."
No doubt people left the area for a large variety of reasons, not all of them
economic. Life in the not too distant cities beckoned with attractive
cultural variety as well as jobs. The rise of mechanized agriculture
lessened the need for farm labor or second and third sons. Periodic depression
in agricultural prices, especially in the 1890's and the 1930's, tended to
push out more marginal residents. Also, there is some evidence that strong
ties with families and other social groupings may have mitigated against the
centralization of social and institutional functions and, therefore, of
community cohesion. Swedes, Blacks and even "Hissourians" were some of the
identifiable groups that were somewhat agglomerated within a few miles of
Lone Star.·
Secondly, one must try to account for the rise of the town of Lone Star
and all that it eventually came to present. One cl~ar, and perhaps most
significant cause, was the rise of prosperity that began in the late 1890's
and continued almost without interruption until immediately after the First
World War. The older members of the community became socially and economically
better established. Many had "paid for" land plus money to buy desired
services and to develop local institutions. They also made gains in mobility
but it was not yet the kind of mobility that would eventually tie the whole
rural community very strongly to Lawrence 12 miles away. At first the use of

�17

automobiles clearly helped tie the rural population to the central place,
that is, Lone Star. Major marketing and the purchase of expensive manufactured goods had always taken place in Lawrence; the use of the automobile
did not change this economic tie, it only speeded up the process somewhat.
Routinely driving to Lawrence every day or so for work, shopping or entertainment was not a practice instantly developed with the acquisition of a
Model T Ford. On the other hand the temptation to visit one's neighbors,
or just to go to "town" (Lone Star) . and see what was going on, was less
frequently resisted. The initial impact of the automobile was no doubt
more social than economic and it played a key role in growing community
cohesion.
The long term effects of prosperity, mobility and the whole increasing
mechanization of American society tended to reduce both the rural population
and importance of rural small towns. This change is not something that could
occur suddenly; if for no other reason than the fact that the terrible roads
would not allow it. The enormous long range impact of these changes clearly
tended to obscure the transitional features of the overall process. It is
left to the local historian to preserve the detail necessary for a thorough
understanding of that overall process.
FOOTNOTES
lLone Star was known as Bond between 1875 and the late 1890's when
the name was changed to Lone Star. Bond was the name of the original
postmaster. Lone Star was the name given to a new school in 1897.
2An atlas published in 1873 mentions no businesses of any kind at the
site of what became Bond (Lone Star) nor does its maps show any b~lildings

speculate that these features provide the key to the initial development
of the town. Atlas of Douglas Co. Kansas (New York: J.W. Beers and Co.,

l2Actually, other evidence (including recollections as well as the

the late 1880's and the early 1920's. The declining rural population was
only partially compensated for by the rising town population.

decades of the 20th century.

"A KANSAS SOUVENIR"
Thirty years ago, along the eastern margin of the grassy quadrangle
which geographers called Kansas, the rude forefathers of Atchison, Leavenworth, Wyandotte, Lawrence and Topeka, slept in the intervals of their strife
with petty tyrants of their fields, and beyond their western horizon, the
rest was silence, solitude and the wilderness, to the Rio Grande; to Yellowstone; to the Sierra Nevada; like the lonely steppes of Turkestan and Tartary;
inhabited by wandering tribes whose occupation was war; whose pastime was
the chase; pastured for untold centuries ,by roaming herds that followed the
seasons in their recurring migrations from the arctic circle to the Gulf.
Censorious scoffers, actuated by envy, jealousy, malignity and other
evil passions have hinted that he unduly vaunteth himself; that he brags
and becomes vainglorious; that he is given to bounce, tall talk and magniloquence.
There have not been wanting those who affirm that he magnifies his
calamities as well as his blessings, and desires nothing so much as to have
the name of Kansas in any capacity always in the ears and mouths of men.
Such accusations are well calculated to make the judicious grieve.
They result from a misconception of the man and his environment.

BY GEORGE W. WHITE
CLINTON, DOUGLAS COUNTY, KANSAS.
I was born in Anderson County, Texas, July 5th, 1844. I lived there
until October 1845. In October we started back to Missouri. Our conveyance
was ox teams. We got back to Morgan County, Missouri and my father bought
the same farm back that we sold before we went to Texas.
We lived there until 1850, in 1850 we moved north six miles and rented
a farm stayed there until 1852, moved then to Case County, Missouri. We
lived there until the spring of 1854, and moved from there to Douglas County,
Kansas, near Clinton.
I was at home when the 1856 troubles came up. I stayed at home and
took care of the home and stock while father and my brothers were out in
the war. My oldest brother got his arm shot off at what was known as the
Titus Battle in 56. In 1860 the dry season came on. Me and my father and
family had to go back to Missouri to get feed for our stock. We went back
to Morgan County, Missouri, and bought feed there near Sedalia, Missouri,
and wintered there. I drove teams and worked on the railroad most of the
winter. In the spring, father, mother and myself came home the first of
May and went farming. I worked the farm that year and the Civil War come
up. In 1862 I joined the Company of the State Militia and served in that,
during the war but drove government teams most of the time. In 1863 I was
at home the day of Quantrill's Raid. There were four of us at my father's
house when Amos Spittler drove up to our gate at sunrise in the morning
and told us that a Secession at Lawrence was burning the town and killing
everybody.
My mother was making a fire to get breakfast at the time. I heard him
ho110a and got up as soon as I could and called the other boys. I went
down and saw Spittler and he told me the circumstances. The other boys
came down as soon as they could and we got our horses and as soon as we ate
our breakfast we started for Lawrence. As we came over the University Hill,
We saw Quantrill's Band down on the Wakarusa bottom and crossing the Wakarusa; they had set a house afire down there. They crossed the Wakarusa at
what was known as the B1antan bridge, now the Eggert bridge, then we came
on down to Lawrence. We went north on Mass. St. as far as 8th St; we then
turned east. We saw one or two persons lying in the street north of us.
It was so hot we could hardly get to them. We then went east around to the
old Durfey-Hotel and we found a family there by the name of Stone. We had
two cousins working there at the time.
Stone told uS that they had crossed the river. We went down to the
river bank and ho11oad across to them and they answered that they were all
right. We came back to the Hotel and Quantrill's men had shot the old man
Stone in the house. We went in to see him and he was shot in the breast.
We then got on our horses and went after Quantrill. We got out in the
South part of town where thirty-two recruits had been killed. On a little
farther south we met up with a bunch of boys and men that had one of
Quantri11',s men in custody whose name was Skaggs. A man by the name of Dr.
Honne11 had him by the arm. Austin White my cousin asked Honne11 what he
was going to do with him. He said they were going to kill him but he was

�52

going to take him up town and turn him over to the Civil Authorities.
White said "Stand back, I'll turn him over". He and George Black drew
their revolvers and fired two shots at him striking him in the breast.
Skaggs whirled and ran east about forty feet turned around and threw
up his hands, as he threw up his hands Frank White Turkey a Delaware
Indian shot him with his bow and arrow. The arrow took effect in the left
corner of his mouth. He went over to him and White Turkey got off his
horse and tried to pullout his arrow but could not. He then set his
foot on his forehead and pulled his arrow out. Skaggs had on a new pair
of boots. White Turkey pulled them off and wanted Austin White to take
them. White said "No I do not want them they are too big for you or me
you can have them". White Turkey said "No you take them your boots". White
said "No I do not want them you take them'.'. White Turkey said "Alright I
will take them then". He went to his pony and turned around and started
after Quantrill. When we got down on the Wakarusa bottom James H. Lane
and several others caught up with us. When we got to the top of the hill
south of the Wakarusa we saw two men west of the road ,setting a house afire.
When they saw us they came into the road about two hundred feet ahead of
us. We fired several shots at them but failed to get any of them. We
followed them on south past Baldwin City and caught up with them a few
miles further, then they got away from us again. Then Major Plum and his
men came in sight but they did not want to seem to catch up with them.
James Lane went back and talked with Plum but we went on for several
miles but finally caught up Hith them. We had a fight with them and fired
several shots both ways, we got one horse but did not get any men. When
the soldiers carne up pretty close they whirled and ran and got away from
us. That was the, last fight we had with them.
We followed them on for ten or twelve miles and when it came sundown
then we turned and went home. We got home that night about two o'clock.
Then later on in the fall I went to driving government teams again and drove
on until cold w~ather. I went home and stayed until spring and in the
spring I went to driving government teams for the 9th Kansas Regiment
the third day of May we left Lawrence for Little Rock Arkansas that was
the spring of 1864. We traveled allover Missouri and Arkansas at last was
discharged at Fort Smith, Arkansas in July. Then went horne and later on
hired to drive government teams again, from Leavenworth to Fort Scott and
back.

-

,

At the time of Price's raid I was at Fort Leavenworth at midnight
we were ordered to Kansas City. We went down to the Commissary house and
loaded our wagons with provisions for the soldiers and started for Kansas
City. We drove there as quick as we could and got there about two o'clock
in the afternoon. I had my horse and saddle with me to come home but they
put me on picket duty that night and stayed therefor two days, and nights,
and was then ord'ered back to Fort Leavenworth. I then got my pay and went
horne. Later on I hired to drive teams for a man'by the name of'Kitchen.
Went to Fort Dodge and back to Kansas City was discharged and came home.
That was the fall of 1864. I then got my discharge from the Militia. I
am the only man living that followed Quantrill out of the County.

In the winter of 1872 on the 22nd day of January I was married to
Mattie Tucker, to this union was born two children Olive Leora and
Russell George that are now living. My wife died in 1911 and I have
lived on the farm at Clinton until in July 1925 when I sold the farm and
moved to Lawrence where I now live with my son .Russell at 1117 Rhode
Island Street.

******
"KANSAS" --- In popular estimation, Kansas is classified as an exclusively
agricultural and pastorial. It has harvested the largest wheat crop ever
gathered in any State, and will strive this year to break its own record.
In corn, fruit and small grains, computation and measurement have been
abandoned as superfluous and impracticable. But these are only fragments of
its mineral resources.
To be a denizen of a State that surpasses all other communities as Niagara
excels all other cataracts, as the sun transcends all other luminaries, imposes
obligations that render levity impossible.

HOW ABOUT SENDING IN YOUR NAME NOW FOR A MEMBERSHIP IN THE DOUGLAS COUNTY
GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY.

..

* **** *
Because a scared young officer in the U.S. Corps of Engineers had to
preside at a meeting in New Bedford, Mass., in 1863, a well-known book came
intq existence. To prepare for the ordeal, he made a lot of notes and outlines. He later had these notes published in book form.
, The book, Robert's Rules of Order, is now a standard reference for
parliamentarians.

From: Rand, McNally &amp; Co. 's OVERLAND GUIDE from the Missouri River to the
Pacific Ocean via Kansas, Colorado; New Mexico, Atiiona and California.
Chas. S. Gleed, editor - Revised Edition, Chicago: RAND, McNALLY &amp; Co. 1893
CITIES AND TOWNS OF KANSAS
Mr. Gleed quotes Bishop Hunt from the New York INDEPENDENT:
The Bishop writes:
"In a half hour I was standing in that wonder of depots - the Union in Kansas City. This same city is the key to our whole territory. Think of
its growth. A citizen told me that when his Eastern eyes first saw the place,
fourteen years ago, there was only one railroad track there, which soon lost
itself as it trailed its solitary length up along the Kansas or Kaw river.
Now twelve great railroads centre there. There are given times when most of
the trains leave, and unless you wish to take one of them, you will do well
to stand and look on. It seems as if the whole world has its carpet-bag in
hand and is going to'the next place. The tracts are, not shut in by a great
building, covered over with a glass roof; but are in the open air, the
raised platforms along them being protected by light and delicate iron roofing, supported by graceful pillars. You thus have all the advantage of protection from the weather and perfect light and ventilation.
"The new census puts Kansas City up to some 60,000. It is a marvel of
growth. The most of the residences are on the bluffs, where are also the
best hotels and the finest retail stores, and where,until recently, the heaviest business was conducted. But the broad flat delta, formed by the .junction
of the Kansas river with the Missouri, is destined to be the business part
of the whole city. The bluff will be a place of churches, residences and
stores, while the great manufactories will be .down in 'The, Bottom'. The
largest beef and pork packing houses in the West, I have been told in the
world, are already in this level part of Kansas City. The Fowler Brothers
are just qmlpleting their.'s .. ·Across the Kansas,'·,tiv:er·li.es:Wyandot'te, spread out
over the flats, and building up so rapidly that~ like Kansas City, you have
to give your orders for bricks nine months ahead before you can begin to build
your house. There is no break in either .popu1ation or business during the
whole hour and a half walk from the outer rim of Wyandotte, across the Kansas
river, a1ong'the Kansas City bottom, over the innumerable railway tracks, and
up the steep bluff, where the neat homes of Kansas City, the majestic, stand
and throw their evening shadows across the broad and islanded Missouri.
"My destination in Kansas was Lawrence, about forty miles beyond Kansas,
City, and up the southern bank of the Kansas, river. One grows a little meditative as he takes his seat in the cars. The past begins to come in upon him,
and he goes back to the days when the first battle of the republic since 1812
was fought on Kansas soil. When the treaty was signed in Paris, on the 30th
of April, 1803, which gave us the Louisiana purchase, of which Kansas was a
part, no eye could foresee the relation which this unknown State should occupy
toward our national life. 'John'Brown's soul' had just begun to march, for
he was only wearing cotton pinafores, and lacked a month of being three years
old. Some thirty miles away there once stood the old house of Osawatomie,
which his own hands built, after he had snuffed, in the East, the morning
air of the coming crisis, and had come to the heart of the hastening cyclone.
Whether Kansas was to be a free or a slave State did not depend on the proslavery party in Missouri or its champions in Congress; but on the conscience

�78

of the whole country. Brown and his four brave sons knew all this part of
Kansas--its trails, its strategic points, its river depths--as well as any
Indian that had made his home centuries before Columbus saw the light in
Genoa the Proud. Brown turned all his wisdom to good account. His was the
free lance of New England love of liberty. Lawrence, now a thriving city-with its beautiful university looking down over it, full of the hum and stir of
honest and pushing thrift; catching now its nerves of power from the current
of the river, now carrying its wheels by steam; educating its boys and girls
with utmost care; driving its trade westward and southward with a steady eye
on the march and consolidation of population; rearing its beautiful churches
with sublime faith in the Power which gave freedom to all the broad acres
of the State; and treasuring the traditions of its heroic history with honest
pride--is a miracle of love of liberty, tenderness toward the slave, and of
far vision into the future. It is the only American Troy we have. Everyone
of its plains and copses sings an Illiad. The marks of the first balls in
the struggle for the slave's rights can be seen in some walls and trees.
A strange admiration of the vanished hands came over me as I walked the streets
of this growing and historical place. It will hand down the name of Amos
Lawrence and the Massachusetts and New England aid societies with a preC1S10n
and power of high moral significance which Alexander could not give to. the Git)~ of
his name and fame. The streets you walk over are full of meaning. The first
one I struck was Massachusetts street; and so it was to the end-~New England
names, New England faces, New England life. There is no place on the continent
where Puritan ideas have projected themselves into the future with more definite~
ness than just here in Kansas. The air is that of Virginia; but the flow in
the veins is that of the men who landed on Plymouth rock. There can be but one
focus of thought in a nation ata time, and Kansas was that very thing all the
way along from 1854 to 1858. It was the smelting-furnace of sentiment for four
other years, 1861 to 1865. But all is now peaceful and plentiful in Kansas."
Submitted by Lance Reppert, Lawrence, Kansas.

**********
Facts from "A KANSAS SOUVENIR" by Hon. John J. Ingalls, 1896.
Lance Reppert, Lawrence, Ks.

Submitted by

The normal condition of the genuine Kansan is that of shy and sensitive
diffidence. He suffers from excess of modesty. He blushes too easily. There
is nothing he dislikes so much as to hear himself talk. He hides his light
under a bushel. He keeps .as near the tail end of the procession as possible.
He never advertises. He b10weth not his own horn, and is indifferent to the
band wagon.
He is oppressed by the vast responsibility of being an inhabitant of a
conunonwea1th so inuneasurab1y superior in all elements of present glory, in
all the prophecies of future renown, to its inferior companions.

From Galena Gazette (Galena, Ill.), Apr. 26, 1912:
"Cousins are not as simple as they seem. The very
fact of being a cousin or having a cousin is compli-:: ~.. -::".
cated ..... They can borrow money from you, visit you co;:'"'.:·.,.
without being asked, tell people they belong to your "::(~~:.'~~·r;.
family, contest your will, even fall in love with
'. . '.. :
you. And a cousin once removed is twice as apt to.
Never completely trust a cousin. The "Cousinly kiss"
mayor may not mean what it means and cousins always
do kiss. It's part of being cousins."

Mention was made of how the family name of Estelle ISE of Lawrence,
Kansas came to be in its present form. Apparently the original family name
was ISENMENGER. It was shortened when a civil war recruiting officer told
Estelle's grandfather that the name was too long. (Estelle ISE was the
wife of Admiral Felix GYGAX of Twin Creek.)

Letter from Kansas
Published iin The Kansas Herald.of.Freedom~- An Independent Week~y Newspaper DevQlte'(fto Freedom, and the Interests of the Kansas TerrItory, by
G.W.• Brown &amp; Co., Wakarusa, Kansas Territory. Number 1, Volume 1, Saturday,
Octo,ber 21, 1854.
Since the publication of my former letters: in the E:a:. I have rec'ei ved
hundreds of letters from al1~' parts of the country, enquIrl,ng about Kansas.
Although wishing to impart all the information i'n my power', yet were I to
devo,te all my time to' letter wri ting, one half at least would go unanswered.
A few put me under personal obligations so that I am at least obliged to
wd te to them., Others who letters may be unanswered win from thi s learn
the reason why. One wants to know '-if the lands here are subject to p:eemption""? another "'if we get them for nothing or have to pay twenty-fIve
cents an acre:, the cost of survey", etc.--Things'that are known all over
the States weeks befo,re we can possibly' know them here, as we are fifty
miles,: in Indian country, and the same distance from Westport, Missouri,our
nearest postoffice. Another wants to know t·\'lhat kind of winters we have
here, and what kind of summers?"' forgetting that I am Just from Ohio, and
have no't resided in Kansas, yet three' weeks:. Another wants to know ''-i'f we
have the ague here, and if so'o whether as bad as in I1linois?n;"-a place I
never set foot upon--and so on ad infinJ:tum. But hundreds of questions
are asked, and so far as 1 possibly can,;"I wish to give one general answer.
The lands purchased' of the Indians embrace nearly fifteen millions of acres;
of this, all except about eight hundred acres belonging to the Weas, south
of the Kansas river and Iowas, north of said river, are subject to pre-emption. As to the Homestead bill, we know nothi'ng of it here, whether passed:
or not, or whether it would apply to the Kans'as rands or not., I think the
Shawnee lands, south of the Kansas river will be the first settled;: they
appear to be settling fastest between the Kansas and Wakarusa rivers, on
the California road.
To reach here, a person coming by the Missouri river should 11and at
Kansas, cross the Shawnee Reserve', thirty miles' to Wakarusa ferry and you
come to' the promised land. As to holding claims here, I refer the reader'
to theConsti tution of the' Mutual Settlers t, Association, which of course
you will publish. These laws will be respected, and justice adminfstered
here as peac,eably as iin the States. Claims: are, however, frequently sold
by settlers.
l' think this Terri tory is well watered';; springs exist in abundance';
prairie could not be richer;, timber may be scarce in places, yet limestone'
and coal exist in abundance. IOuI' tiinber consis·ts principally of walnut,
oak, cotton-\'lood, blue ash, etc'. SOil of all kinds, from clay loam to' rich,
sandy' soil;; good clay, for brick or potter's ware, can be found. I am at:
least five hundred feet above the Kansas river, and only three! mnes fl'om;
1:t, on the richest of soil. A pleasant breeze greets us from the so'uthwest;
to inhale a draught of it is alinost equal to a drink of water. I am satisfied,that the country must be healthy, much more so than iin Ohio.--Possibly
some may have the ague, along the river, or other streams on the low lands.
I think no' difficul ty would be experienced iit securing a location for 8'
tt&gt;colony of any size", where water, timber and stone exist sufficient for
all purposes; yet to secure a place now, emigrants wou'l'd have to go farther
west. The Kansas river i:s nearly as large as the Mi;ssouri. Steambo'ats'

�94

have been up one hundred and seventy-five miles, to Fort Riley, and I think
with small boats it may' run that high the year around. There are good water
pri v~leges in the Terri tory~ Horses, oxen, cows, an~ in fact, all kinds of
stock are high-':'cows from $25 to $40; oxen, from $75 to $100 per yo'ke; good
horses, from $100 to $1:50 per head. An ·kinds of furniture high--at least
one'-thfrd higher than fin Ohio. Bacon $fe, per lb. Flour, $3'.50 per 100 lbs.
Store goods a shade higher than in Ohio.' I speak o'f the Kansas market in
Missouri.
No,twi thstanding the threats and browr!:':beati'ng of the Missourians,. the
greatest propo,rtion of the settlers here as' Northern peopre--nine-te'~i'trhs'
of the balance honest SOutherners:, who are coming as they say, to get rid
of s1'avery. 1 was much mi'staken in the character of the Missouri ans'., A
few fanatics, who were: resolved to ext'end slavery' at an hazard's', seem: fo·r
the time being to give tone to the whole peopre;' but a oetteracquaintance'
convinces'me that the majori ty of the people condemned the violent resolu'tions p'assed at W¢s'tport and other places. But the die is c'ast., Westport
wnl be another ALT~~. B'iI.'ood 1's in her heart.. Hundreds wtn shun here;:
and Kansas" only' four miles further', wiTl reap the frui'ts' of he'r' ,'treason.
nOo you a,app,rehend any serious difficulty with slaveholders?" is frequently asked •. 1 answer, no, although they have boasted and threatened
much, ill. thev .. .m.~!!.Ql, fools, and well Rnow the shedding of Northern blood!
to sustain sravery here, would end only with slavery itself.. Northern men
need not fear.;' a1'1 they' have to do i;s to be true to themselves, and not
coward-like', knucfde to the demands~ of these sl aveholders~. and padlock
their lips;, and tt-wai t til: the proper time t'o meet this' question"'.. Now is
the proper ti'me--now'i"s the time that the sliaveholders are movingneaven
and earth to establish slavery here;: and now is the tiine,. like men, we
should meet them, and not Hke cowards', cry', "Hush, be quiet', don It agi'tate'
the questiion ~; wai t ti 1 we are stronger .. ',IIOne explanati:on is necessary here;, in speaking of missions" in my llast
]} did not make the proper distinction., My remarks' were true as to Johnson's
mission;; but since I have become acquainted with Or~ Stin, a true man, who
also h~s a mission here~
One word to newspapers which copy my articles·... Do not put words into
my mouth which I never utter.. Copy exact from the' ERA, or not at aH. Much
i,njusti'ce was; done me by a former artic'le by a' portion of the eastern: press'.
Besides, those who copy my' sayings' wiill db me a favor' by' complYing with the'
m~ourtesies of the press.~
One word to emigrants •. Those who have money can do welil here.. lands
which can be got for nothing now, by paying a year' hence Government price,
I honestly thfnk in two years: wi':!'l be worth $25: to $30' an acre. No new
country ever settled one-fifti·eth part as fast as Kansas is now settlfng.
Emi~rants; arri ving in scores;' tents are stret'ched al:l over the prairies;;
cablns ..are going up f? alil directfons., Labor iiS plenty •. A" man, though
?oor, 1f he c'an and Wlll work, Can do well! here'. A'man with only a teami is:
lndependent.. BUt to those who have no' means, can tt nor won't work, Kansas
fs no place for you., Emigrants must expect to meet some hard'ships'~.. We'

�95

have no ffne houses to receive you in;: everything is i'nconvenil,ent yet;;
settlers are generally of be right kind, with pioneer hearts. SOciety:
i;s good;; we are all sociable and accommodating, and the person who now
has the wBl, and meets these difficulties" and gets' hi's cho,ice of the
lands;, wim never regret it. Where rin Ohio todayl, with my knowledge of
Kansas" I should lose no time coming back here', pitching my- tent" bui'ldfng a cabin,. and preparing for living •. Understand me, I urge nO' one to
come; fo'r, as in ciH?new countries', many- chicken-hearted ones wil'l get
homesick and leave. But if you have made up your mind, and are coming,
now i~ the time. The sooner here, the better-for you.
I am,. truly", yours',&gt;

The First Baby: The first birth in this city was on the 25th of
de to bar last. The Lawrence As sociation donated the boy a first
cllsss city lot, and na:mad him Lawrence Carpenter, atter the city
a'nd his parents. We learn that the little tellow i8 quite health1'
ahd is growing finely. May he live to see our beautitul city ranking
w;tth the first in the Union in all that perta:ills to wealth, education,
morality, and refinement.
:
We mq be allowed to say, in this connection, that the first
wJ:;rl.te child born in Chicago is now but twenty-two years old, while
~e city boasts of a population of near 80,000. May- not a destil\Y'
equally prosperous await our own Lawrence?

In the lI1fltter of the petition of Benjamin S. Hancock.

,Margaretta Hancock, sworn, sqs: That she is thevife of petitioner~ and
that in the years 185S aDd 1856 we were living on our claim two and • half miles
from Lecompton. He was from Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, and a free~tate man~ and not
in good odor with the people of Lecompton on account of his political opinions. In
the year 18SS~ during the Wakarusa war, Mr. Hancock came to'Lawrence to save his
11fe~ and help~ while protecting himself, to protect others. While he was gone~
some men'from Lecompton came and threw do~ our fences, arid the cattle got in and
destroyed our corn. There were nine or ten &amp;cresin corn; it was sod corn. Mr.
Hanrock had gathered a little of the corn to teed with before he came down to Lawrence; the rest destroyed. It was pretty good sod corn. This was all we lost of
much value during that year.
In the month of August or September, 1856, while lI\V' husband was absent-,
having ned to save his 11£e-a company ot men, calling thanselves Kickapoo Rangers,
about fUty in number, came to our house. It was Sundq morning. They were commanded bY one John Randolph. He paraded his men before the house, ordered ~e men
to go in :and search the house, and take what they could t1nd tor the use of the southern &amp;rnG"~ The men entered the bouse from both sides, began swearing, saying we had
a store for the abolitionists at Lawrence,but they would not get it. Then they commenced plundering; some in one room; some in the other; some up stairs, turning over
the beds"taldng the blankets, swearing they were too good tor abolitionists; inquired
for Mr. Hancock; swore if they had him they would kill him. They took coffee, sugar~
crackers" meat, harness--several sets, &amp;:0.
They took all rrI3' provisions. I expostulated with them; told them they were
gentlemen' to take all I had to eat, my husband being gone, and I having tll&gt; little
ones to attend to. MJ'. Lamb then took a piece of meat, some dried fruit, and a washpan full of coffee, and gave them to me. Captain Randolph got mad, ordered Hr. Lamb
to leave ~s COlUp8l\Y, as his conduct was a disgrace to it; that he was a coward and
a traitor: to his compq-. Lamb said he would not see a woman hungry. Pistols were
drawn by' ~lph, who said the next thing taken out of the wagon he would shoot
the man who did it.Lamb wanted to leave a sack of flower, but was compelled to give
it up. Randolph made a speech, s~, among other things, he would go over with his
things to I Lecompton, and come back again. They broke and destroyed evvr,ything they
could lq their hands on that tbq did not carry 81tltq. That afternoon about 300 men
came on h~rseback, accompanied by some wagonsJ picked up what they wanted, throwed
down the fence; drove and rode through the cornfield, aet fire to the house three
times, but it was put out. The barn and its contents they burnt down. There were in
it ploughs, and chests of tools and ever;ytb.ing necessar:v to carry on a farm.
B,etween the two visits on that dq I had obtained a guard from Colonel Cooke,
and had ~ a few light things into the wagon. The last ~ who came even tried
to rob the. wagon of the few th1ngs it contained, but were auccesstulq resisted by the
I

guard.

.

Myself and mother came back to the house atter the barn was burned, and~
waiting till dark, hid some things by oovering them up in the garden, wt they were
all stolen, and broken up.
The items in the house and barn, as .at down in the petition, were Q'llafried
destroyed, or burned up at that time, except the items tor .poons. There

-sq,:

�33
were t_lve large spoons" silv8l'"worth 136" and 12 small ODeS, worth $lOJ these
vere carried 11/I6tq. The pre.ems were lIOrth $1 per gallon. .Ten acres of corn and
over were destroyed at the same time" the fence being thrown down. What they did
DOt pack off, the c sttl. and hoga destroyed. An acre of potatoe a was also dug up
and destroyed. Three horses were taken off.
When Mr. Hancock Ca11l8 into the Territo1'1' he brought twenty-tive vagon loads
of goods, such as 18 set out in hill petition" and two loads afterwards.

The First Baby:' The first birth' in this city was on the 25th of
October last. The Lawrence Association donated the boy a first
'class city lot, and named him Lawrence Carpenter, after the city
and his parents;. We learn that the little fellow is quite healthy
~d is growing finely. May he live to see our beautiful city ranld.ng '.,.,
with the first in the Union in all that pertains to wealth, education,
morality, and refinement.
,
We mq be allowed to sa:y, in this cormection, that the first
White child born in Chicago is now but twenty-two years old, while
the city boasts· of a population of near 80,000. May not a destiz\r
E;lqually prosperous await our own Lawrence?

in good odor with the people of Lecompton on accoWlt of his political opinions. In
the ye~ 1855~ duririg the Wakarusa war~ Mr. Hancock came to Lawrence to save his
l.1fe~ and help, while protecting himself, to protect others. 'While he was gone~
some me~ from Lecompton came and threw do~ our fences~ arid the cattle got in and
destroyed our corn. The're were niri~ or ten 'acres in corn;' it was sod corn. Mr.
Hanrock had gathered a little of the corn to feed with before he came down to Lawrence ;:the rest destroyed. It was pretty good sod corn. This was all we lost of
much'./value during that year.
.
.
, In the" month, of August or September, 1856, while Il\Y husband was absent-having fled to save his life~-a company of men, calling themselves Kickapoo Rangers ~
about fifty irl nUIllber, came to our house. It was SWl~ morning. They were commanded by one John Randolph~ He paraded his men before the house~ ordered !¥he men
to go in and search the house, and take what they could find for the use of the southern artl\Y. The men entered the house from both sides, began swearing, s¢ng we had. ',',
a store for the abolitionists at LaWrence,but they would not get it. Then they commenced plundering; some in one room;' some in the other; some up stairs, turning over
the beds ~ taking the blankets, swearing they were too good for abolitionists; inquired
for Mr. ~ancock;: swore if'they had him they would kill him. They took coffee, sugar~
crackers~ meat~ harness--several sets, &amp;c.
'They took all my provisions. I expostulated with them; told them they were
gentlemen to take all I had to eat, my husband being gone, and I having tu&gt; little
ones to attend to. M". Lamb then took a piece of meat,some dried fruit, and a washpan full of coffee, and gave them to me. Captain Randolph got mad, ordered Mr. Lamb
to leave ,his compan;r, as' his conduct was' a aisgrace to it,;; that he was a' coward and
a: trait OJ;" to his company. Lamb said he would not see a, woman hungry. Pistols were,
drawn by Randolph, :who said the next thing taken out of the wagon he 'WOUld shoot'
the man wo did it.Lamb wanted to leave a sack of flower, but was compelled to give
it up. Randolph made a speech, saying~ among other things, he would go over with his
thingstti Lecompton~ and come back again. They broke and destroyed everything they
could lq their hands on that they, did not carry awa:y. That afternoon about 300 men
came on horseback, accompariied by some wagonsJ: picked up what they wanted, throwed
do~ the :fence; drove and rode through the cornf:l.eld~ set fire to the house three
times~ lnl:t it was put out. The barn and its contents they burnt down. There were in
it ploughs and chests of tools and ever,ything necessar,y to car.r,y on a farm.
Between the two visits on that dq I had. obtained a guard from Colonel Cooke,
and had thrown a few light things into &gt;the wagon. The last body who came even tried
to rob the wagon of the few things it contained, but were suceessful~ resisted by the
guard.'
.
,
Myself and mother came back to the hoUse atter' the barn was burned,' and,
waiting t~ll dark, hid some things by covering them up in the garden, but they were
all stolen and broken up.

'~he items in the house and barn, as set down in the petition~ were ~t:~a6-,

were twelve large spoons, silver,worth $36, and 12 small ones, worth $10; these
were carried 81tlay. The preserves: were worth $1 per gallon. ,Ten acres, of corn and
over were destroyed at the same time, the fence being thrown down. What they did
not pack off, the cattle and hogs destroyed. .An acre of potatoes was also dug up
and destroyed. Three horses were taken off.
When Mr. Hancock came into the Territory he brought twenty-five wagon loads

�Presidents'! Letter
As I 'write this message Thanksgiving has just passed and Christmas, will soon
be upon us. How many of you have taken a few minutes to contemplate what our
ancestors did on their holida.vs back in Lancaster, Pa., Pitt sylvania County,
Va., Peoria, Ill., Oneida, N. y~, a' sod house in Nebraska, England, Holland,
or a 'million other localitiest
No doubt some were living in relative luxury with warm homes, plenty of food
to eat and friends to share the pleasures;.
otherS with below average material blessings, probab~ with large families to
feed and house spent the d~ with relatives and thanked their Maker for what
they had. Another group m~ have just arrived in a strange country with very
littl~ money, sickness, and a foreign language to learn. Most of us can consider ourselves among the fortunate compared to the life them.
We have about 41 members at present. Many are long time members and some have
been bitten by the "Genie Bugll recently. Did you know there are several stages
of the "Genie Disease ll ?' First, there is a little interest, it turns into a
hobby; and then continues into a full time vocation. In the latter stages,
genealogy becomes an obsession and is considered incurable. Many never get to
what I consider the best part of genealogy--helping others. We constant~
write for help to far away places and expect answers or read material someone
has sp~nt countless hours gathering and printing. I encourage more of our
friends and members to be the"unselfish experts from Douglas County.1I
Your executive cOlTllTlittee is working on plans for a workshop in the spring.
Hopefully we can announce details of date, location, and program soon.
Your president,

Names: Females should have but one given name, and when they marry, should
retain their maiden name as a middle name. This is the practice among the
society of Friends, and were it generally adopted, it would have many advantages. We should know at once, on seeing a lady's name, whether she was
married or single, and if the former, what the name of her family was. And
it iS'further to' be considered that the adoption of this rule of but a single
first'name for girls would put an end forever to be whole brood of Emma
Mevalindas and Euphemia Helen Lauras, and a style of nomenclature which is
thoug~t by most persons to be ridiculous in the extreme.

President's Letter
,
As we enter the spring season of the year, letts look back at .
the accomplisht,umts of the winter. Some of you have solved some venng
, blem that has been stumping them for years. Those that were at
~~ sem:1.nar in February with Ronald Bremer will recall his. advice to
b:e patient and persevere. With very few exceptions t~e:e l.S some
record of each individual out there somewhere just wutJ.ng to be found.
:
Our society has had the 1815 Kansas state Census book on loan
from the state Historical Library for almost two ye~s. sever~ members have worked on filling out index cards for varJ,.ous. townships and
cities in Douglas County. Several more need to be done J.n the near
future so we can return the book to Topeka. If anyone can help, see one
of the officers or contact Lance at the reference desk at the Lawrence
Library.
Welcom.e to our new members. Please let us know: how we can be,
o'f help to you.

Lecompton Territorial DB3S
The Lecompton Historical Society will celebrate "Territorial Daysll
26th, 1982 at Lecompton, Kansas. For over ten years they have
looked forward to this special day, as they are going to dedicate the
opening of the Lane University Museum. This building began as the Territor:tal Capitol of Kansas in 1865, and when the capital was moved to
Topeka, the partially built building and material was given to the
United Brethren church and they completed the building and dedioated it
in] June of 1882. Now 100 years later, they are dedicating it again by
opening it as a- Historical Museum.
.
David Eisenhower will be our main speaker, as it was at Lane University that his great grandparents, David Eisenhower and Ida Stover met,
and married in Lecompton. The dedication will be at 2 :00 p.m. on June
26th near the musel.D1l. There also will be other activities, starting in
th, morning and going all day long. Everyone is welcome.

{fRobert's Rules are His, Cup of Tea:,

Copied with premiss ion of Wichita Eagle Beacon
Submitted by Mary Jamison
Boston-Behind every chairman with a fast gavel sits someone like Bill
~vans, a fellow with an unwavering devotion to points of order.
,
A Baltimore lawyer and president of the National Association of Parlimentarians, Evans believes in rules.' Make that Robert's Rules.
:
Some people rebel against rules;, parliamentary tactics put others to
sleep; Evans scoffs.
.
"E~ewone has to go to meetings," he s,ays. "You go to Pl'A, a union
meeting, even the Garden Club. You wouldn't play poker without knol-ling
the hands and you shouldn't go to a meeting without knowing the rules."
E,vans is touring the countrY' to tout a new13 revised edition of Robert's
Rules of Order. He helped the Robert family--descendants of the original
author--with the first overhaul of 'the manual in a decade.
More than three million copies are in print. The rules' are used by
virtually every goveriimeilt bod;y and deliberative assemb13 in America.
Evans' stop in Massachusetts was' 'appropriate. It was, after all,
in New Bedford that Henry Martyn Robert, an Army engineering officer, developed the original rules. '
,
Legend has it that Robert, sent to southeastern Massachusetts by the
Army in 1863 to recover from tropical fever, was, presiding over a church
meeting and being battered by bombast he couldn't control.
;
Robert resolved to stud;y parliamentary law and eventual13 developed his
own rules based on guidelines set down by Thomas Jefferson in 1800 and refinad later by Luther BUShing, clerk of the Massachusetts House of Rep~sentatives, in 1844.
Henry Robert published the rules with his own money in 1876;: no publisher would take the risk. A few of the Original manuals still exist.
"Rules ~ what democracy is about," says E:vans, who was; the parlia-,
mentarian for the Republican National Convention in 1968 and has been the
power behind those who preside at a variety of national union meetings.
"
Robert· s original guidelines haven't, changed: Abide by the will of the
m~ority; listen to the minority; consider one issue at a time;; give everyo:qe a chance to talk, and assure that the discussion is impersonal.

This history presents the United Brethren work 1854 to 1946, and the
Evangelical Church work 1851 to 1946. In 1946 the two streams of history merged into one to become The Evangelical United Brethren Church.
THE UNITED BRETHREN CHURCH
LaWrence, Kans as
1854-1946
Lawrence probably can claim the first permanent, continuous United
arethren organization in the state of Kansas, altho' this WaBi a much
discussed point for many years'.
,
A man whose name was Terrel, preached in Fort Scott and organized a',
class there sometime during the year 1853. The group seems to have dis,banded during the Civil War Years. There was no mention of Fort Scott
in the Conference notes until 1890 when a new group, was formed.
In a letter to the "Religious Telescopell (official U. B. church
paper) Josiah Terrel wrote, "I am glad that the Board of Missions has
s,ent a missionary to Kansas. 1I He had reference to S. S. Snyder, the first
regularly appointed missionary to the Kansas Mission. (He was the man
for whom our local church w.as named.) Mr. Snyder was appointed by the
Home Frontier and Foreign Missionary Society in June, 1854 and arrived in
Kansas in October of that same year. He brought his family to Lawrence,
a, community of about 600 persons; and staked out a claim near the edge
of the settlement. He attended the first Hissour.L Conference which was
held in Jasper County, Missouri at Short Creek Schoolhouse in November,
1854. It was here that the first United Brethren minister (S. S. Sn~der)
met the first missionary to Kansas (Mr. Josiah Terrel). Rev. Snyder
held services in a plank shanty located near the place 'Where the Granada
Theater now s t a n d s . '
When it was learned that the Kansas Pacific Railroad would come
through Lawrence on the north side of the Kaw River, the church fathers
d~cided that Lawrence would make its growth north of the river, therefore
they erected their second church there near-Bismarck Grove. ' Later a
third was built at Fourth' and Locust Streets in North Lawrence. This
building was used until 1914. :
, William A. Cardwell, from the Indiana Conference, came to the Kansas
Territory in l855-to work with S. S. Snyder. He (Cardwell) wrote on
ARril 30, 1855 that he had a list of donations totalling $131.00 to be
used in building a church in Lawrence, but that the building wasn't com-

�90

c ..

pleted until 1867. This reference must have been to the second meeting
place, the one at Bismarck Grove. However, Mr. Cardwell went to Big
Springs, west of Lawrence, where he organized -a: class, and succeeded in
building a church late 'in the year 1856. This building at Big Springs;
was the first church to b~ ,built for the United Brethren in the State of
Kansas •.
The Rev. S'. S. SI'l1der was the first man killed by the Quantrill
Raiders in their 'attack on Lawrence. He had been commissioned a. Lieutenant of the Colored Troops in this area. This fact, combined with his
preaching and his anti-slaver,y views prompted the raiders to seek him
out and to murder him as 'they entered Lawrence on August 19, 1863. The
first United Brethren Church building erected in Lawrence was named for
this martyr--IIThe S. S. SI'l1der Memorialll '. At the time of his death the
group was meeting in a hut at about the present site of the Granada
Theatre, referred to earlier.
'
.
The Kansas Mission Conference of the Church of the United Brethren
~ Christ was' organized in October 30, 1857, with the Rev. S. S. SI'I1der
as presiding elder. At a meeting of the Kansas Conference in April, 1867,
it was reported that the church building at Lawrence was almost completed. The sixteenth Convention of the Conference was held in the new
bUilding in 1871.
Ver,y early in the period when settlers were coming to Lawrence, the
Friends (Qu~ers) erected a very large native stone building on the land
now occupied by the city baseball park at 11th and Delaware. The main
purpose of this building was for their Conventions and Conferences so it
was of necessity quite roomy. 'It is thought that, for a time before a
permanent building was erected, the United Brethren used this building
for their Church Services~
In the year 1914 anew brick building was completed at the corner
of 17th and Vermont Streets. liThe S·. S. Snyder Memorial Churcn ll as it
was known was dedicated October 3, 1915 at a cost of $15,000.00. This
blP-lding burned on February 8, 1936. The Journal World for Februar,y
10, 1936 states that the building and its~:contents were a total loss,
the firefighters being hampered by sub-zero temperatures. The Rev. C.
L~ Huffman was pastor of' the church when the bw.:ldSmg burned, the Rev.
C. L. Heatherington had just oompleted-'7 years of service in the Lawrence territor,y the previous December (1935) and the Rev. Arthur Ward
arrived sometime in 1936 to serve 6 years with this congregation.
With the arrival of Mr. Ward plans were made to erect a fine, new
L-shaped building of native stone.· He spent long hours in pliiy'sical
labor in the construction and building of the ba.sement for this proposed church, also, in his six years of service a substantial sum of
money was raised to use in the building of the new structure. Because
o~ many difficulties his dream of completing the super-structure was
never realized. In 1942 he was assigned a charge near \vinfield;: Lawrence Deever succeeded him at Lawrence. By this ti..'1le the congregation
had dwindled to a rilen "handful," and there was talk of merging. The
official merger with the Evangelical Church began in March of 1946. With
the uniting of the two denominations the Lawrence Church then became
mown as the Evangelical-United Brethren Church. The work of the Kingdom
moved forward. The be3utiful new church at 1501 Massachusetts was dedica~ . .' "ted in 1948 and has continued to move forward to a present membership of

1948.

THE EVANGELICAL CHURCH
Lawrence, Kansas
1857-1946
Franklin, E;udora, Clearfield Circuit, 1857
Evangelical United Brethren Church 1946-1959
The Evangelical United Brethren Church is the oldest American born
denomination. It was not the first denomination on Americal soil for
other churches preceded it, having come here from Europe. It is not a
sp:l,it off of any other church but was the result of a need and the meeting
of that need.
German speaking people emigrated to this continent, settled in Maryland and Pennsylvania'. There were no churches, no pastors, but men filled
w1th;:)the Spirit from German Reform, Mennonite, Presbyterian, Lutheran, and
Methodist denominations began bringing the word of God to early settlers.
Our church is not an "ismll or a tarigent organization. It is sound,
stable, and founded upon the fundamental doctrines of Christianity.
, In 1804 Jacob Albright of Pennsylvania founded this organization especially' for the Gennan speaking people of Pennsylvania. The DiSCipline
was very similar to that of the Methodist Church.
We are indebted to the early ministers of Kansas for the history of
our' church at this time, but they were History Nakai's and not History
Writers. Appeals were made to the Eastern Conferences through the Evangelical Hessengerll and "Der Christ1iche Botschafter". The general mis~
sionary society made no provision for this type of work, the Conference
had ,to make the provision and some, conferences were not interested in moving ;West. The Illinois conference was very sympathetic to the calls but
-:.t~~~
so the reply was oi'ten,"no funds, no available men."

,

Bishop Long was. very instrumental in getting a change in the Mission-

ary Society so that funds would be available for this work in the West.
Kansas was organized as a territory in 1854. The Government offered
very liberal Homeste ad Laws, hence many Evangelicals emigrated to Kansas,
took up homesteads, built homes, mostly of log or sod, tilled the soil,but
there were no churches of their choice in which to worship.
.
As early of 1851 and 1858, Joseph Ettinger of Leavenworth and James
Epley of Old Franklin (3:,miles S. E. of Lawrence) "Irate letters to the
ItEvangelical Messenger" and "Der Christliche Botschafter" (church papers)
to assist in publicizing the appeal for man to preach the gospel. This
bore fruit, for July 4, 1858 George Fleisher arrived at Old Franklin and J.
F. Shreiber in Nebraska.
.
Classes were established at Franklin, Eudora, Clearfield, Owl Creek,
and near Humboldt, in fact our first church built in Kansas was at HumDolt. The people of this territory were hungry for the gospel message. A
nrl.nister' s· charge consisted of a circuit made up of classes. Often a; circuit was 200 or even 300 miles in area. The people gathered in homes,
~chool house and store buildings. The mode of travel for the minister was
horse back ,0; in a"buckboardlt accompanied with a Bible, Hymn Book and
Church Discipline.
1860 was a famine year. Drought appeals were made to the eastern
churches for help. Cash, food, and clothing were sent. The IIr-Iissionary
Barrels" of those days were a blessing. Also the war clouds were gathering and there was great unrest among all people.
,
Then in 1861 the beginning of the Cinl War with Kansas, a~ free territory, next to Missouri, a slave state, brought on much border warfare. In
fact, Rev. Snyder of the- United Brethren Church of Lawrence was the first
man killed in Quantrill's Raid. Our work was greatly hindered. Many were
called to the ~ and many met death by bush whackers and hostile Indians.
,
In spite of the hardships people were deeply interested and the average
cpllected for the work in Kansas in 1861 was $3.00 per member.
In 1862 pleas were made for the organization of a Kansas Conference.
In 1864 the Iowa Conference met and organized the Kansas Conference, which
comprised the entire state of Kansas. There were 50 claSses with a membership of 100. Camp meetings were, held near Eudora and Clearfield which
was on the Lawrence Circuit. ManY were gloriously saved. The first Kansas Conference session was held at",:LeaveriwOrth in 1865.
I
In 1 years the work had grown to a membership of 116, 3 churches, 3
parsonages, 2 Sunday Schools with 54 scholars. Early ministers were not
overpaid, the average annual salar,y for a single man was $125.00 plus $31.25
for table expense. A married man's salary twice as much' plus $25.00 for
each child with $6.25 per year added table service.
, In 1811 the Kansas Conference was iricorporated UIlIiier.the Kansas Law!.
This gave them the right to do business legally.
In 1861 Joseph Rahskopf (father of Ed Rahskopf of 1035 Pennsylvania
Street of Lawrence ) was licensed to preach.
In 1878 Peter Schumann (father of Katherine Schumann and grandfather
of Ethelbert and Emerson Ott) was licensed to preach in Kansas.
In 1881 Moses. Dissinger (father of our late Fred Dissinger) served
this field.
. In 1886 we had the sad misfortune of an abnormal boom. Eastern
capital poured in, towns sprang up, real estate inflated and factories,
where there was no reasonable grounds for success.

�93\
Two years, later there came the depression and our work really
faced a crisis.
In 1890 S. A. Burgert (father of Ralph, Irma and Alice Nelson of
our present congregation) was licensed and in 1890 was sent as the first
missionary to Oklahome, liThe Striptl having been opened in 1889. It was
~ very rugged and immoral field.
;
In 1893 the language question arose. The local fie Id or church
decided to use either or both, the English and German.
.
In 1897 there was another depression and maQY fields were discontinued or consolidated.
In 1899 The Kansas Conference ordered an organization in Lawrence
but it failed to materalize.
In 1901 F. H. Peek (father of"Harlan Peek of Lawrence) was licensed
by the conference held at Willow Springs (now Worden).
In 1909 the annual conference held at Jewell located a:j russion at
Lawrence ,and appointed E;. J. Feitz as pastor. Thus in May, 1909 E. J.
Feitz organized the work at La\'I1rence. The church was to be known as the
Zion E;vangelical Church.
The organization had 26 members and there was no church home. The
first quarter~conference was held in June 1909 composed of the following:
Presiding Elder D• Swart, J. Wuerth,P. Schumann, J. Rahskopf, J. Houk,
W~. Fleisher, W. F. Zeeb and E. J. Feitz.
.
It was reported that the Swedish Lutheran Church at 1000 Connecticut
Syreet, Lawrence, Kansas was disbanded and their church was for sale.
The quarterly conference appointed a committee of five to negotiate for
the purchase of the chtirch and in 1909 it was purchased for the swn of
$1100.00. Next, the Annual Conference was petitioned for help to remodel
the church.
In 1911 the church was raised and resided, with labor largely done by
the members. Jrnd on S'eptember 3, 1911 the "new church" was dedicated.
E~il Wendland was the-pastor.
The Ladies Aid was organized at church on October 23, 1913 and they
met weekly for work.
In Februar,y 1917 it was decided to improve the church building again.
The basement was enlarged, a furnace was installed and it was resolved to
buy a parsonage;: therefore one was purchased at 1009 Connecticut for
$3500.00. In 1919 the Women's Missionar,y Society was organized.
In about the year 1920 'the church was partially destroyed by fire.
In March 4, 1946 the Zion Evahgelical Church and the United Brethren
in Christ Church merged. To our knowledge this was the first merger on
the local level of churches later to be known as The Evangelical United
Brethren Church. This was brought about by the uniting of the two denominations November 16, 194q,' During the pastorate of Leland Young, 1945-58,
~ new church building at 1501 Massachusetts street was built and dedicated.
A few statistics
1909-Church building, 1000 Connecticut St. purchased
1918-Parsonage at 1009 Connecticut St. was purchased
1948-the new church 1501 Hassachusetts St. was built and
dedicated

We are indebted to the ministers and laymen of the century who used
every means at hand so effectively that we still wonder at their success;.
.
They set a very high standard for Christians of today. One characteristic of the early church was a consciousness of God's Program "Jesus,
the Savious for a Lost World" and the courage to go forth in His power.

r,A LOVE- THAT TRANSCENDS, SADNESS

\\

Written by Willie !10rris;
Not too long ago, in a small Southern town where I live, I was invited
by friends to go With them and their children to the cemetery to help choose
their burial plot. My friends are in the heartiest prime of'life and do not
~ticipate departing the Lord's earth immediately, and hence, far from being
funereal, our search had an adventurous mood to it, like picking out a:
Christmas tree. It was that hour before twilight, and the marvelous old
graveyard with its cedars, and magnolias and flowering glades sang with the
Mississippi springtime. The honeysuckled air was an affirmation of the tugs,
cind tremors of living. My companions had spent all their lives in the town,
and the names on even the oldest stones were as familiar to them as the
people theysali'every day.IlLocation," the man of the family said, laughing.
liAs the real-eetate magnates say, we want location."
,
At last they found a plot in the most veneral51e secti'on which was to
their liking, having spurned a sha&lt;tr spot which I had ~conunended under a:
giant oak. I knew the caretakelI',. would soon have to come to this place of
~heir choice with a long, thin s'teel rod, shoving it into the ground every
few inches to see if it struck forgotten coffins. If not, this plot was
theirs. Our quest had been a tentative success, and we tetired elseiihere
to celebrate.
Their humor coincided with mine, for I am no stranger to graveyards~
With rare exceptions, ever since my childhood, they have suffused me not with
foreboding but with a sense of belonging and, as I grow older, with a curious, ineffable tenderness. MY dog Pete and I go out into the cemeteries,
not only to escape the telephone, and those living beings who place more
demands on us than the dead ever would, but to feel a continuity with the
now of the generations.
"Living,1I William Faulkner wrote, lIis a process of getting rea&lt;tr to be
de ad for a long time."
I have never been lonely in a:::.cemetery. They are perfect places to
observe the slow changing of the seasons, and to absorb human history--the
tragedies and anguishes, the violences and treacheries:; and always the guilts;
and sorrows of vanished people. In a preternatural quiet, one can almost
hear the pailpable, long-ago voices.
I especially' like the, smail~toWn cemeteries of America: where"the children,
come for picnics; and games, as' we did when I w.as growing up--wandering among
the stones on our own, with no adults about, to :J;"egard the mystery and inevitability of death, on itsi terms and ours. I remember we would watch the
funerals from afar in
hushed "awe, and I believe that was when I became
obsessed not with death itself but with the singular cOllUllunity of death and
life together--and life's secrets, life's fe ars, life's surprises. Later,
in high school, as I waited on a hill to play the echo to taps on my trumpet
for the Korean War dead, the tableau below with its shining black hearse and
the coffin enshrouded with the flag and the gathering mourners, was like a
fO,lk drama, with the earth as its stage.
, The great urban carileteries of New'Yo'rk City always filled me with horror,
the mile after mile of crowded tombstones which no one ever seemed to visit,
as if one could ~ anyone in there even if he wished to. Likewise, the
suburban cemeteries of this generation with their carefully manicured lawns.
an~' bronze plaques embedded in the ground, all imbued with affluence and

a

�98
artifice;;.. ~are much too remote for me. My favorites have alw~s been in
the old, established places where people honor the long dead and the new.
graves are in proximity with the most ancient. The churchyard cemeteries '.
of England haunted me with the eternal rhythms of time.' In one of these,
years ago as a student at Oxford, I found this inscription:
Here lies Johnny Kongapod,
Have mercy on him, gracious God.
As he would on You if he was God,
And You were Johnny Kongapod.
Equally magnetic were the graveyards of eastern Long Island, with their
patina of the past touched every so niellowly with the present. The cemetery
of Wainscott, Long Island, only a few hundred yards from the Atlantic Ocean,
sUrrounded the schoolhouse. I would watch the children playing at recess
among the graves. Later I discov~red a man and his,)dfe juxtaposed ·under
identical stones.. On the wife's tomb was \I Rest in Peace. II On the man IS.
at the same level, was "No Comment." I admired the audacity of that.
But it is the graveyards of Mississippi which are the most moving for
me, having to do, I believe, with my belonging here. They spring from the
e~rth itself, and beckon me time and again.
The crumbling stones of my
pljlople evoke in me the terrible enigmas of living. In a small Civi.l War
cemetery which I came across recently, the markers stretching aw~ in a
misty haze, it occurred to me that most of these boys had never even had
~Igirl friend.
I have found a remote graveyard in the hills with photographs on many of the stones, some nearly one hundred years old, the women
in bonnets and Sunday dresses, the men in overalls--"the short and simple
arinals of the poor." I am drawn'here to the tiny grave of a little girl.
Her name was Fairy Jumper, and she lived from April 14, 1914 to Jan. 16, 1919.
There is a miniature lamb at the top of the stone, and the words:"A fairer bud
of promise never bloomed." There are no other Jumpers around her, and
there she is, my Fairy, in a far corner of that country burial ground, so
forlorn and alone that it is difficult to bear. It was in this cemetery
on a bleak Februar,y noon that I caught sight of four men digging a grave
in the hard, unyielding soil. Atter a time they gave up. After they lett,
a man drove toward me in a battered truck. He wanted to know if some fellows had been working on the grave. Yes, I said, but they went away. "Well,
I can't finish all by myself." Wordlessly, I helped him dig.
One lonesome, windswept afternoon my dog and I were sitting at the crest
of' a hill in the town cemetery. DoWn below us, the acres of empty land were
coyered with wildflowers. A new road was going in down there, the caretaker
told me; the area was large enough to accommodate the next three generations.
"With the economy so bad," I had asked him,"how can you be expanding?" He
had replied: lilt comes in spurts. Not a one last week. Five put (lown the
week before. It's a pretty ste ady business. II
Sitting there now in the dappled sunshine, a middle-aged man and his
middle-aged dog, gazing across '~a-a the untenanted terrain awaiting its dead,
I thought of how each generation lives with its own exclusive solicitudes-the passions, the defeats, the victories, the sacrifices, the names and dates
an~:, the faces, belong to each generation in its own passing, for much of every",:
t~g except the most unforgettable is ~~on forgotten. And yet: though
mucll is taken, much abides. I thought then'..of human beings, on this cinder
of ~ planet out at the edge of the universe, hot knowing where we came from,
why ,we are here, or where we might go after death--and yet we still laugh,
and iCry, and' feel, and love.

"All that we can know about those we have loved and lost," Thornton

Anson J. Stone called and sworn.
To Mr. Sherman:
, I reside in BostOD, Massa~huset"ts. I am' assistant treasoll'er of the
Emigrant Aid Society. A. record is kept by that society of the names of those
. emigrants who are sent out under itsauapices. The party ,of emigrants under
Dr. '&amp;binson, who went out irithe 'spring of 1855, J.e:tt Boston Marcl'?- 13~ 1855.
I hlive a list of thOse who composed that party, copied from the original.
register in the office of the compaD.1 by II\Yself. The list is contained in
SJ m$orandum book, and is. attached to this deposition. The book also contains
the names of those who werit· out in company with John T. Farwell, leaving. Boston March 20, 185S.
'The number of persons who have been sent out by the Emigrant Aid Society
I shpuld judge to be somewhere in the neighborhood of 1,300; but I cannot state,
with9ut looking over the books, what 'proportion were wanen and ch1ldren, but .
there were 11l8JV' going out in families.
.
;When Robinson' s party le:tt we had no information at all of the da;r of
election. I do not th:l.nk arry party went out at all in reference to the dq
. of election.
:The emigrant aid society never. paid the expenaes of any' emigrant. I am.
certain of th1s', because I have carefu.l.4r examined aU. the books and papers
of the society. They' have expended no money forfireams. o.r ammunition.
They',have been m1'6me~ careful in regard to that matter,8nef '~ided it in a:rq
W83'. : The money of the society has been eXpended in SSWI and gr:1s't'm1lls, the
hote~ in Lawrence, and in other buildings; and in no case has money been expended with any reference to the political opiDion of settlers; but all could
enjoy the facilities of the investments of the society. 1he company did not
issue, tickets of their own, but purchased tickets of the various lines ot
transportation, and sold them~o the emigrants' for' cost. };. conductor wa¢:,~sent
along,1d.th each party, but the comp8l\Y in no case paid his 'f&amp;fe-:-; ~1?utJle"was~':-:'
~~~~lJith(:a'~.t~e ticket by the various lines of travel.. The transportation companions made the same deduction on the tickets they sold to us at a
~duced rate~ as they did to all other companies, picnic part1es~ conventions, &amp;:c'.
This is the mode in. which. business has been ordinari~ done between the
comp8D1' and the emigrants. 'WheJ} -an8migrant cOmes into the office and asks.
about Kansas, for 1nfo:rmation,:&amp;:c.~ we give him. a pamphlet containing all
the 1Il:fomation we have been able to gather. It did not contain any special.

T~e Parties of Emigrants 'Who Cane to Lawrence-CoDtinued
to persuade persons to emigrate, but to avoid the trouble of answe~ all '
the' questions persons would probab~ ask us, by, g1.ving 'them the information
that desire in a convenient torm. We never Urge them to go. Some, after
reading our books,wuld conclude to go,.bile others would not. We could
not ,tell how many did not go, but there were ~ who got these' P8ll'lplalets,
did not go. As soon as enough concluded to go, to form a party, a conductOr
was 'sent along with the party. Their baggage was marked to facilitate and
sec~ its transportation. The connexion 'between the company and the' emigrant ceased when the ticloot was sold; 8nd there was no understanding, agreement, or promise on either side., No man ever went Ullder the auspices of
this; society, for the mere purpose of voting and then retum1.ng, so far.

HISTORY OF CENl'RAL UNITED METHODIST CHURCH
1501 Massachusetts" Lawrence, Kansas
The roots of Central United Methodist Church reach back to 1854 when
the first United Brethren Church was organized in Lawrence. A man by the
name of S. S. Snyder came to Lawrence in October, 1854. He was sent as a
missionary and staked out a claim near the edge of Lawrence connnunity, mich
was. on~ about 600 persons.
, During a period of years up to 1914, there were four different locations,
most,· of them North of the Kansas River.
In 1914 a new brick building was erected at the corner of 11th andVermont. It was known as "The S. S. Snyder Memorial" and was used until
1939 when the church was destroyed by fire. Efforts to raise money, keep the
congregation together and build a new building were made but all efforts failed,
and'in 1946 the United Brethren merged with the E:vangelical Church. This
church was located at 1000 connecticut.
- This history dates back to the year 1909. The Evangelical Annual Conference met in Jewell, Kansas. At this Conference a mission was l~cated in
Law~nce and Rev. E. J. Fietz was appointed pastor. The church was named Zion
E;vangelical. There was a group of 26 members but they had no church to go to
fori worship.
: Quarter~ Conference met in J\U1e~ 1909. There was a report that the
Swedish Lutheran Church at 1000 Connecticut was for sale. This church was.
purchased for $1,100.00. The building was in bad shape and needed much repair
and remodeling. When the next Annual Conference met, they asked for financial
help. The church was raised and re-sided with most of the labor being done by
the men of the church. The new church was dedicated on September 3, 1911 with
Einil Wendland as pastor.
i The Ladies Aid was organized in 1913 and met each week for work.
They
also served many meals for 19~ and 25¢ a meal to help with the expenses of the
church.
It was decided in 1911 to improve the building again. So the basement
was enlarged, a furnace was installed, and plans were made to purchase a parsonage. The house at 1009 Connecticut across the street from the church was
purChased for $3,500.0Q~?
. In 1919 a Woman IS Nissionary SOCiety was organized. Money for missions
was ~ollected and sent to the missionaries. Nany da¥s were spent in sewing
and large packages of clothing for infants and children and other needs of the
missionaries, were sent.
, The church was partially destroyed by fire in 1920.
,During the years the congregation had been grovling until in 1944, they
felt, the need of more room and wished for a new church. The trustees were
give~ the power to start a building fund.
Their first effort brought in $2,200.00.
I beUeve Rev. George Landes' was the pastor at the time.
i In 1945 Leland and Elaiile Yourig were sent to the Lawrence Church. They
were'a young and enthUSiastic couple who put forth every effort toward organizing and planning for the'new church.
;At Quarter~ Conference in 1945 it was voted to have the District Superintehdent, E. E. Erffmeyer, to present the building project to Annual Corif'erence~ In May of 1945 $10,000.00 was allowed. Then there was an appeal to the
General Board of Missions for an additional $10,000.00. In 1941 the Confer..
._ ence IYouth Fellowship made the Lawrence Church a miSSionary project with a
goal :of $5,000.00. The church was still a mission at that time. During this
I

i,

�tinie the United Brethren and Evangelical Churches merged. The merger took
pl ace in 1 946,.
Property was purchased at 15th and Massachusetts in November of 1945.
This site was chosen because the lots were available. It was not far from
the old location and was conveniently located in the town.
: In 1946 Norman Goode was employed as architect and in iU.947 Ray Angeny
was hired as contractor. During August, 1947 ground was broken for the new
building and by October the corner stone was laid. Mooris Cleveland made a
metal container to place the articles in and Lawrence 110nument Company Jfa.~
nished the corner stone. Items -in the corner stone are: a church hymnal, a
ChUrch Discipline, a copy of blueprints for the new building, a list of churdl
members, a list of building committee members, a few pieces of money, a copy
of :Journal World newspaper, and a new copy of the HolY Bible.
: The note burning service was held October 6, 1957 with District Superintendent Henry H. Vogel present. Leland H. Young continued to be the pastor
until May, 1958.
Work progressed rapidly and the church kept grov1ing spiritually as well
as in membership. The Sunday out family put our letters in the church, 23
persons were taken into church membership. Work continued on the new building. R. O. Burgert spent most of his waking hours at the site to see that
the project was carried out 'as it should be. lvIr. Burgert was Chairman of
the; Building Committee. Leland Young put on his unionalls and spent many,
many hours supervising and suggesting with much interest and concern for the
best possible results. These men's ver,y lives and souls became entwined in
the bricks and rafters of the building. Many others helped in various ways.
During the weel~ 0'£ September 15-19, 1948, the church was dedicated with
services each night and Sunday, both morning and afternoon, with a basket
dinner at the noon hour. The dedication service was held Sunday afternoon
wit~ presentation of memorials and gifts, as well as the building fund offering. BishopC. H. Stauffacher was present to give the dedication s~on.
: Another parsonage \\las purchased in 1954 at 1530 Kentucky.
: The church and Sunday School membership continued to grow until the
class rooms were bursting at the seams. In 1957 a house and lot at 1507 was,
bought for an annex to be used for class rooms. During this time the members
of t,he church built a nice cabin in Forest Park to be used by the youth of
the church.
The house being used for an annex became unsafe and parking space was ii,
need~d, so the house was razed and the house across 15th Street was bought
for another annex. There was much more room for the children's classes and
BibJ1 School. This did well for several years until it was condemned as unsafe
and later was sold •
•,The house directly back of the church was bought for a parsonage and
later the house and lot south of the parsonage was purchased. The house was
moved to make more spaces for parking. This connected Vermont Street with the
parlq.ng lot.
,After the annex north of the church was not used, the children's classes
were !brought back to the church. It seemed now was the ti."I1le to be'gin planning
for an educational wing for the" church. During the 60's there were many triaL
runs ,to get the project of building started. In 1972 the program of an addition was begun in earnest.
When the Kvangelical United Brethren denomination and the Methodist denomination merged, we needed a name to distinguigh our identity in the tOivn and
-Conference. After a fellowship dinner one evening in the church the name
Central was decided upon as being the most suitable.

, Ground breaking for the new wing was one Sunday after the,'moe!ling wor- ,
shfp on November 12, 1972. Ernest Moore was pastor during this period of :,:
building. The new educational wing was completed and consecrated on Palm
Sund38", April 7, 1974. The architect was Will,Owens. The building committee
was: Chairman, Stan Zaremba'; Secretary, B6b Schrock; Treasurer, Earlin Burgert. Others on the committee were Ken Jorgensen, director of construction,
0. H. Garber, John Kliewer, James Hiller, Frank Pippert, and Bob Street.
OrVille Carey was Chairman of the TrUstee Board. The building was constructed
at ',a cost of $150,000.00.' The Consecration Celebration was attended by Bishop
Dixon, who gave the Consecration sermon,and a delicious luncheon which had been
arranged and cooked by Lorraine Schrock and Lois Zaremba, and an open house
followed.
Later in the 70's the church underwent another rejuvenation. The room
which had originally been the Chapel was made into a church parlor and named
the Ingle Parlor. When the men's Bible -Class was no longer in existence, the
rooin was made into a library and resource room. The old fellol-lship hall was
remodeled and made into a youth Center. The old kitchen was enclosed and
shelves were added to make storage room for tools and other equipment. A nice
nursery room was made from some small classrooms.
: --This history was prepared by Mrs. ott (Florence) Garber in 1979 and
updated in 1981. Much of the information has been co1iected from various
histories that were written in years past.

Name Changing Probably Started in the Days of Ancient Rome
One of my sons, flipping through a new paperback called, liThe Book of
People,1I wanted to know, why so many performers and other people in the
'public eye had changed their names, and how long this had been going on.
Forever, I told him.
It began, as so many other things did, among the ancient Romans .Those
men who were called to the equestrian order, and had low or llvulgarll names,
,were newly named for the occasion, so that the former name would not disgrace
:the dignity of the new position.
,
:
According to Platina, the first pope who changed his name in ascending
to the papal throne was Sergius II in 844, because his proper name was "Hog's
mouth"--quite unsuitable to the pomp of the tiara.
Europeans began changing their names in the Middle Ages, when surnames
,first came into vogue, because so many of the cognomens they bore were derogatory: liThe Bald, II liThe Lame;" liThe Short", liThe One-Eyed", and so forth.
Then,as society ranked itself, from serfs up to the nobility, the families who were able to raise themselves 'an economic niche or two often added
IIDe" or a IIVon" before their names, even when they were not entitled to.
,
Beethoven, in fact, was taken to a plebeian court when it was discovered
that, despite the "vanll in his ,name, he was not of noble birth. His grandfather, a Flemish vintner, had simply appropriated the aristocratic prefix.
for himself. And he was only one of many, in most E,uropean countries where
patents of nobility prevailed.
(In court, it is said, when Beethoven was questioned, he pointed to his
head and heart, exclaiming, IIHy patent nobility is here and here 111)
, In the New' World, immigrants changed their name s to blend wi th the
ethnic majority~' Paul Revere's father, indeed, had changed his name from
IIR1voire,'" upon arriving here from France. Much earlier, the great explorer
Qiovanni Caboto, changed his name in middle 'age to John Cabot, when he moved
from Venice to London and discovered Newfoundland for the British.
,
It has been going on ever since--not merely among performers, but in
public life as well: at least four U. S. Presidents so disliked their first
~ames" that they abandoned them' for professional careers:
Hiram Ulysses
Grant, steven Grover Cleveland, Thomas Woodrol'll' Wilson, and John Calvin
Collidge.
, , ' , ' That probably began when CaiuaJuliua Caesar dropped his first name,
too--no doubt ~oWiiig that his family name would live'Jon in KING, CZAR,
and KAISER. There is far more in',.a: name than wide-eyed little Juliet
ever reailized.

President's Message
: I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those officers,
committees, and members who have worked diligently to make last year a
suc~ess. Special thanks should go to retiring officers Pauline Elniff libtarian, Mary Jamison - editor of the Pioneer, an&amp; Judy Sweets - secretary and researcher. Many thanks for your many hours of hard work for
thei Society.
'
I
i This is a new year with many tasks unfinished. Grace Embers, editor
of the Pioneer welcomes material'for possible publication in the Pioneer.
If you have material on Douglas County history, your family in Douglas
Cou~ty, diaries, Bible records, school records, etc., please get them to
Gra~e. We especially invite our out of state members to contribute in
this way for the mutual benefit of everyone.
I

I Grace also needs typists, copiers and indexers., "I don't know how"
is bot a good enough excuse, as none of us knew how until we did it.

! Jean Snedeger, and her committee have been worki~g :on reprinting several
Lawrence City Directories so they will be available for purchase by anyone
needing them. They have begun updating the county cemetery records for
publication in the near future. Please call her if you can help.
I

,

\

i The

general opinion is we have had' helpful, interesting and instructive
speakers at our monthly meetings. Thanks to aTl who,took the time and effort
to come to our meetings and instruct us in their specialities. If you have
a special topic for a future program, let us know. :
I

,

Sincerely,

;

*********
: The Preemption Act was passed in 1841 by the U. S;. Congress in response
totpe demands of the Western states that squatters b:e allowed to preempt
lands. Pioneers often settled on public lands before they could be surveyed
and kuctioned by the government. At first these claitns were not recognized,
but ;in the 1830's temporary preemption laws were passed by Congress. Opposition: to preemption came from Eastern states where it was seen as a threat to
their labor supply. A permanent preemption act was passed only after the
East¢rn states had been placated by the principle of distribution (i. e., the
proceeds of the government land sales would be distributed among the states
according to population). Distribution was discarded in 1842, but the preemption principle survived. The act of 1841 permitted settlers to locate a
clai* of 160 acres and after about fourteen months of residence to purchase
it f1jom the government before public sale for as low as $1.25 an acre. After
the passage (1862) of the HOMESTEAD ACT, the value of ,preemption for bona
fide !settlers declined, and the practice more and more became a tool for
spec~lators.
Congress repealed the Preemption Act in;189l.

NEW ACQUISITION
The library of the Douglas County Genealogical Society
has acquired 45 issues of the

C~nn~cticut

Nutmegger, the quarterly

journal of the Connecticut Society 6f Genealogists.

The rapidly

growing Connecticut organization was founded in 1968 and alrea9y
has more than 5,000 members.

These are from every state in the

Union and from many foreign countries; the journal thus becomes
more than a regional publication.
In the Connecticut Nutmegger can be found:
A continuing series: Connecticut Births Before 1730.
A continuing series: Connecticut Marriages Before 1750 •.
A continuing series: Connecticut

,

Headsto~es

Before 1800.

An "Ancestry Service" listing alphabetically the lines
ftom charts of members.
Book· Reviews
Bible Records
Articles of general interest to genealogists.

~issue,

Genealogical Queries.

These are well-indexed, are not

l~ited to Connecticut families but are preponderantly New England,
Ne~ York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio, and are notable for their

spe:cificity.

They perhaps represent the largest body of queries,

except for the Genealogical Helper, in any

ge~ealogical

publication.

The submitter of each query is identified by his special
Nutmegger number. A list of these members and their addresses is updated
every two months.

Anyone wishing to correspond with an individual regarding

a query can contacF Dr. Thomas Go-r-to;~-;~i ~-8&amp;543_3 'fQr_th~_c_ur.r_ent_addr.ess_Qfl

THE SWEDISH CEMETERY
The Swedish Cemetery (also known as the Johnson Cemetery) is located
on'a wooded hillside about one mile north of Lone Star, Kansas, on land
(called the Adams Campus) now owned by the Kansas University Endowment
Association. It is a small cemetery consisting of about sixteen graves
enclosed bya rock fence. According to information compiled, by Ada Lindell
for Will Hastie's Record of Cemeteries of Douglas County, Kansas, the land

16 Cabins erected and a Steam Sawmill commenced.
Copied by Jean Snedeger

*******
From the Lawrence Republican Weekly, Thursday, July 9, 1857, pg. 3:
TO THE PEOPLE OF LAWRENCE
-- In taking the Census of Lawrence, many persons were absent, and it
has been impossible in many cases to get an accurate list; It was also
impossible to see a great many and give them an opportunity to sign the
petition for the FREE-STATE CONSTITUTION.
The Census returns and petition will be kept at my office until the
10th inst. I hope all persons omitted on Census returns, or who wish to
sign the Free-State petition will call and do so immediately. One sheet
of Census returns has been lost, it is hoped the finder will return the
same to my office.----- - - July 9, 1857

PRESIDENT'S LETTER
Another half year has slipped by with many excellent accomplishments
and many tasks to keep us busy for some time to come.
This is the second issue of the Pioneer for 82-83. The new cover and
other features have been well received. A big thanks to Editor Grace Embers
and her many helpers.
We could be facing a financial problem in the near future as postage
has doubled to send the Pioneers out of town and the cost of printing and
supplies is.up. We would appreciate hearing from our out of state members
to help us decide if we should mail Pioneers only twice per year, make
them smaller, charge a surcharge for mailing or come up with a better solution.
Ilah Derrick has been busy answering genealogical problems sent in by
people from the west coast to the east coast and even Europe. Thanks for
your work, Ilah.
A lot of credit for our good attendance at our meetings go to the
Calling Committee headed by Dorothy Clarke with Irma Kidwell and Kathryn
Bunton. Thanks for your faithful work.
Wilma Vaughn, our librarian and her committee have been busy cataloguing
the exchange quar.terlies and taking care of our Library. The Friends of the
Lawrence Pulibc Library donated a set of Adjutant Generals records of the
Civil War ·for Illinois. Recent gifts of several volumes of the Connecticut
Nutmegger and NEH &amp; GR by Thomas and Catherine Gorton are greatly appreciated.
Fay Talley is the Hospitality Chairman. Thanks for arranging with many
generous members who make our meetings more enjoyable by furnishing refreshments.
Jane Wiggins, our secretary and Dorothy Wiggins, our treasurer, have spent
many hours writing letters, typing, taking care of memberships, collecting
. dues and filing members'five generation charts, etc. Many thanks to both of
you.
Last but not least, many thanks to Jean Snedeger, our vice-president
for.all the organizing, copying, arranging and innumerable details she has·
taken care of.
. This Pioneer is being distributed at our December meeting which is a
Christmas pot luck dinner held at the South Park Reacreational Center. I
personally want to wish every member and friend a Happy Holiday and a Happy
and Prosperous New Year.

I

Sincerely;

iDonald Vaughn, President

Annual Meeting in February (usually during the third week).

The Society began as a committee in March of 1973 for the purpose of
saving the J.C. Steele House in Bloomington (about 1 mile east of Clinton)
from destruction by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. They succeeded in
getting the Steele House named to the National Register of Historic Sites
in November 1973. The committee was incorporated as a Society on March 17,
1977 in order to maintain and operate the Steele House as a museum, and to
preserve the history of the area.
The Corps of Engineers reversed their decision on September 14, 1977,
and the Steele House was dismantled with the agreement to build a small
museum with a courtyard and stage for special programs, to be directed,
staffed and maintained by the Clinton Lake Historical Society, Inc. The
Society is making plans for the grand opening of the Bloomington Museum
on May 1, 1983.
The Society has two publications for sale: Soil of Our Sou1s.by Martha
Parker and Betty Laird, $5.95 plus $1. 00 postage; and Historical Map of
Clinton Lake, based on the book, $1.50 plus $.25 postage.

OLD.ER HOMES IN LA.TtTRENCE ARE NUMEROUS

From an article by Mrs. Ivan D. Rowe in the Lawrence Daily
Journal \'10 rId , Thursday, December 8, 1960.
The first house· in Lawrence lias builtin 1854.. A log cabin
about: 18 by 24 feet erected by Clark Stearns from Missouri. The
act of organizing the territories of Kansas and Nebraska passed' .
Congress" May 30, 1854, and wi thin a few days after that,' Stearns
arrived ~nd erected his cabin as a squatter's claim, for a farm.
There i~ a cement marker at 615 Massachusetts Street which reads,
"Site of the first house in Lawrence,. 60 feet east."
In June of the same year, Achilles B. Wade built a cabin
east of the present Water Wbrks, on Indiana Street.
The old Babcock barn at 2239 West Drive was converted into
a duplex by George K. Melvin. Mr. Melvin's grandparents were
early settlers. Next door north on the Melvin property is a
small house built and used by the Babcocks for the servants.
At 623 Indiana, Adam Oliver brought his family from
England in 1858 and to Lawrence in 1862. After Quantrill's Raid
the family went to Canada for a short time, but soon returned to
Lawrence and Oliver built the house at 802 Tennessee. Many people
in Lawrence think the 802 Tennessee residence was the fitst house
of the Olivers, but records show otherwise.
Also in the' 800 block on Tennessee 1s 827 prese.ntly owned
by Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Tait.This house was built on the edge of
a ravine which was later filled, leaving the first floor below
the ground level.
_
The Robert Hr Miller house, 1111 East 19th Street, was
built in 1858. It was' a farm' home then, and remained in the
Miller family until 1952.
The house at 743 Indiana Street was built by Hiram Towne, a
well-known contractor. This house was rented by Towne to a
WidOW·, r4rs. Emily Hoyt, but he reserved a room for himself.
Mr. Towne also built North College •.
Mr. F. W. Jaedicke, a. gunsmtt~ and hardware merchant,
purchased the home in 1879 and the house has remained in the
family, being presently owned by a daughter, Mrs. Otto A. Fischer.
The house at 1008 Ohio was built by George W. Bell.
The 718 Locust residence was built in 1869 by A. J. Dicker.
Dicker came to Lawrence in 1868 and built his grocery and mea.t
store in North Lawrence and a year later built his home east of
the store in the following block. The home is now owned and
occupied by Donald Dicke~.
Other homes include:
1106 Rhode Island--occupied by Tom Delahunty and his sister
was built about 1870 by Tom's f:3..ther, R •. Delahunty., He ';ias in
the transfer business when he came to Lawrence in 1867.
702 Rhode Island--built by Julius Fischer in 1869. He was
one of the original 15 Germans who were sent out in 1875 from
Chicago, by a. German Association, to found the town of Eudora.

JONES CEMETERY
L _ _ _---.J

The Jones Cemetery (also called the Vancil Cemetery) is located in
Clinton Township (Sec. 25, Twp. 13, R 18) two miles north of Lone Star
in the woods just to the west of a horse trail. A rock wall partially
encloses the cemetery. There are only two stones standing: one a footstone and the other a tombstone marking the graves of:
Abbie VANCIL, died May 16, 1857, age 13 yrs. 2 mos •.
Daniel VANCIL, died Jan. 3, 1864, age 50 yrs. 7 mos. 8 ds.
The VANCIL family lived in the Bloomington area which lies in the
valley about one mile north of the·cemetery. It is not known how many
people were buried here, but there are depressions where some of the
graves are located . . According to Ada Lindell in Will Hastie's Record of
Cemeteries of Douglas County, Kansas, six other graves are marked with
rocks at head and foot.
Marshall J. JONES and Mary Ann HOLMES, both born near London, England,
were married January 11, 1842, and came from Harper's Ferry, Va. to Kansas
in the spring of 1856. They had four boys and four girls. Martha PARKER
of the Clinton Lake Historical Society said that their great grandsons·,
Olin and Howard PETEFISH, only knew of four children. Marshall was a
deacon in the Baptist Church.
Hastie states that Marshall preempted the farm on which this cemetery
is a part, and that an indenture was made between Henry and Martha ULRICH
(daughter of Marshall and Mary JONES) to the Jones Cemetery Association
for $5.00 on August 25, 1884. The Trustees were: Henry ULRICH, James M.
HALBERT, Michael CATHERMAN, J.W. MATNEY, and Thomas BOND. These records
are on file in the Secretary of State's Office, Book 36, p. 336.
Marshall, Mary Ann and their oldest son A1pheus Alexander are buried
in this cemetery, all having died within a short time of each other. The
birth, death and marriage information was obtained from the family .Bible
which was later destroyed by fire.

OBITUARIES FROM TENNESSEE NEWSPAPERS
Compiled by: Jill L. Garrett
QUANTRILL, William Clarke., Monument. in
Dedicated to the memory of the 150
fell victims to the inhuman ferocity of
the infamous' Quantrell in his raid upon.
Erected 30 May 1896.

Lawrence County, Kansas:
citizens who defenseless
border guerrillas led by
Larence on 21 A.ug. 1863.

Quantrell, Kansas guerrilla and murderer, was captured in
Kentucky last week; brought to Louisville, badly wounded.
(Nashville Daily Union, 16 May 1865.)
(N. B. He signed his'
name Quantrill; he was born 31 July 1837 at Canal Dover, Ohio,.
died 6 June 1865 in Louisville; was buried in hidden grave at
St. John.' s Catholic Cemetery; in Dec 1887 his remains were moved
to Canal Dover, Ohio.) .
. Man known as T.•. G. Henderson died one. day last week at the
home of Mrs. Parnell in Birmingham, Alabama.. Before he died he
conf'ess'ed to her that he was Charles William Quantrell, the
fam6us Missouri ou~lawr who was supposed to have been killed in
a fight with Federal soldiers in Kentucky near the close of the
.war.
(Florence, A.la., Times, 17 Oct. 1.390.)
. The Lawrence Massacre'~ . Up to this 'morning 128 bodies have
been buried but it is still utterly impossible to obtain a
complete list of theirnames~ as s6 many are so much disfigured
as to prevent recognition, while others are still missing, and
are supposed to be concealed in the woods nearby or, they may
be in the ruins of the buildings, besides many left. with Lane
in pursui t of Marmaduke and not yet returned •.
Fifty of Quantrell'sgang who are citizens o~ Jackson
County, Missouri, and are all well known here and have been
considered Union men; many of them are paroled prisoners from
Pemberton's army, and some· of them are from Price's command,
from the fact that they are much sunburnt and have the appearance of having been long in the service.
After they had
some of them becama
their. horses" there
as to who they were

accomplished the destruction of Lawrence,
much intoxicated, but being strapped to
were none left behind to give information
or where they were from •.

Aug. 22--The citizens of Lawrence, shot by QUantrell's
band, number 108, incl ud ing the ~1aj or and his son. The inhabitant~ fled into ravines and bushes, where they were fired into
by the guerrillas. Twenty-five negro recruits were shot. The
guerrillas took all the money in the pockets of citizens and in
houses. They stole ladies jewelry even the rings from their
fingers.

QUANTRILL, William Clarke--continued
Jim Lane escaped on horseback, rallied about 200 m~n and
followed Quantrell about 12 miles south of Lawrenc~, where a
fight occurred,. the resul.t of which is unknow-rl. Quantrell is
now retreatirig toward Missouri, burning everything on his route.
No resistance was made at Lawrence, the people being shot down
as they ran through the streets in their night clottles, and
their. bodies thrown into 'wells and cisterns. The ci tizens had
been expecting this raid and had organized into companied for
defence, but from assurances that '~usmtrell would not invade
K~nsas, their organizations were abandoned and the gue~rillas
found them entirely defenceless. (Nashville Daily Union,
22 Aug 1863.)
Quantrell's force reached the headwaters of Grand River,
Cass County, Missouri, about noon on August 25, after burning
Lawrence and. then divided into squads of from 40 to 50, and
scattered in variOus. directions.
Quantrell's men told many persons before reaching Lawrence
that they were going to destroy the tOTl'ln, but by some strange
fatality~ the people along the route, who might easily have
gotten word to Lawrence, did not try. A messenger was sent by
capt. Coleman to notify the people of Lawrence of Quantrell's
appr'oach, but f~1.1ed to get through.
(Nashville Daily Uni-on,
25 Aug 1 8 6 5 ) ·
.
'Quantrell's raid made 85 widows and 250 orphans.
Dispatch, 28 Aug 1863.)

(Nashville

Aug 20--Guerrillas under Quantrell with SOO'men crossed
into'Kansas near Gardner, 4 mile~ below Leavenworth, and started
for Lawrence and pillaged stores, shot citizens and fired
houses.
(Nashville Dispatch, 22 Aug 1863.)
Quantrell's band is now retreating toward Missouri, burning
everything on the route. His force consists of guerrillas who
have been robbing and murdering along the border for months~
(Nashville Dispatch 23 Aug 1863)
,
As of the 24th, 128 bodies have been buried at Lawrence,
Kansas; others are missing and are probably in the ruins.
(Nashville Dispatch,. 26 Aug 1863.)
At. Lawrence, Kansas, 183 bodies have been buried and there
are 182 b~ildings burned.

Naturalizatiion' Records'
N'aturali zatiim records'may be a good source" of genealogical" data'~, Usual1y:
these p'apers were treasured family documents, and often were kept in the pages:
of the family Bible or with old family letters.
Because the first Naturalization )rct passed by Congress on 26 March 1790
provi ded that an ali en who desi red to become a ci tizen should apply- to 't-anycommon law court of record" i:n anyone of the states where he shan have resided'
fo'r the term of one year at least"', he may have been naturalized in the Federal,
State or Local Courts'.
On 29 Jan 1795', Congress passed a new N'aturali zation Act requiring a res-·
idence period of five years and renunciation of allegiances and titles of nobility
as pre",requisi te to citizenship., This was amended on 18; June H798 to require' :r:esidence of fourteen years, and declaration of iintention for five years'., However
this was repealed in 1802 when the Naturalization Law of 1795 was re-inacted~
Prior to the present Naturali zation Law (1952)', an applicant had to wait a11:
least two years after filing a Declaration of Intention to become a citizen before he could file a Petition for Naturalization. This is no longer necess~ry.
Records of naturali zation proceedings in the Federal Courts are usuarIy;:
found in records of the Dfstrict Court in which the proceedings took prace.
Records prior to 27 Sept 1906, may stillil be in custody of the court-, they may' have:
been transferred'to the' National!, ArChives:, or they may have been transferred' to
the Federal Records' Center operated by the GSA. Sfnce 1906:, dupTicates' of the
records are deposited with the Commissioner of Immigration and Naturalization,
Washington, D~ C~
I'n the late 1930"s', the WPJt began to make photographic copies' of the records
and to index them. Copies and indexes filed by the courts in Maine, Massachusetts',
New Hampshire and Rhode lsland 1787-1906, and for the District of Columbia' 1802;...
1.926" are now, in the Nationa11 Archives.
Information on the records fnclude the place and date of birth of the alien,
the country' from which he emigrated, name of the vessel, date and port of arrfvall,
in the U. S., the name under which he traveled and more. An alien was permitted'
to change his name at the time of his' apprication fo'r citizenship', which decree
would be shown on the Naturali zation Certificate when issued.
Advice from the Federal Records Center is that the federal law which prevented copying of a Naturali zation Certificate has been repealed~ and that an
naturali zation records are public records;.
Not like the brazen gi ant of G'reek fame',
Wi th conquering limbs astride from land to lland;'
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates' shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch" whose flame
is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of EXiles:. From her beacon-hand'
Grows world-wide welcome!;: her mi1l!d eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!"' cries' she
Wi th silent lips;. fiG! ve me your ti red~ your poor",
Your huddled masses' yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore:.
Send these, the homeless:, tempest-tost to me',
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!'"
--Etnma Lazarus', "'The New Co les sus'" 1883. She was born hI New York
of Jewish parentage and' was deeply concerned wi th the plight of the Jews' d'ri ven"
from Russia to the United States.

"In the collection of the Kansas State Historical Society is now found
an old candle box with this inscription: The last news from the Lecompton
Constitution Committee.
This box was found buried under a woodpile adjoining the SurveyorGeneral (Calhoun's) land office at Lecompton, February 2, 1858. It contained
the returns of the election of December 21, 1857, for the Lecompton Constitution; also the results of the election of January 4, 1858, under said constitution, as sworn to by General Samuel Walker (Sheriff of Douglas County), by
Governor Denver, G.W. Dietzler (Speaker of the House of Representatives), and
C.W. Babcock, President of the Council of the Territorial Legislature of
Kansas.
This discovery is but one of the many important objects gained through
the exertions of the "Board of Commissioners for the Investigation of Election
Frauds." The board consists of Messers H.J. Adams, J.R. Abbott, Thomas Ewing,
jr., D. Pickering and H.T. Green.
Information has been received that the returns were under a woodpile,
instead of having been sent to John Calhoun by a messenger from Platte county,
Missouri as testified to under oath, on the 29th of January by General L.A.
Maclean, Chief Clerk of the Surveyor-Genera1's office. The board applied to
I. Miller, Judge of the Probate, who instructed Sheriff Walker to obtain the
people's assistance and search for said returns.
Having obtained the assistance of George Roberts, Lewis H. Tappan, Levi
Ga1ts, A. Gunther, L. Hanscourt, J.R. White, D.B. Hones, R. Hutchins, I.
Shepherd, S. Jerrold, H.J. King, J.F. Walker, J.B. Haines and C.H. Webster,
they proceeded -from Lawrence to Lecompton where they arrived at 12 o'clock
midnight, and procured this box and contents as above stated.
This added infamy to the Lecompton convention and affixed to its president the name of "Candle Box Calhoun". When the people voted on the constitution in August 1858, there were 1,788 for and 11,300 against it."

From Lawrence Daily Journal-World, Thurs., Oct. 10, 1929
Mrs. Jane BAKER to Douglas County in '54
In a request for names of persons who came to Kansas in 1860 and before and
are still living in the county the Journal-World received the following interesting letter from Mrs. Jane BAKER who lives on Route 1, Overbrook, Kansas:
"Seeing the ad in the Journal-World wanting the names of the old settlers I
will send in mine. I came with my parents to the south line of Douglas County
in 1854. I am still living three miles from where father took up his claim.
"Hy husband, John BAKER, came here in 1858. We were married in 1872 and have
lived here on this place ever since.
"We have raised six boys and all are married except one and he is with us yet.
"My husband is 85 years old and I will be 81 in November. If we both live
until the 29th of October, we will be married fifty-five years.
"I ~ doing my own washing and all my own house work and boarding the Brubaker school teacher.
"We. live twenty-two miles from Lawrence. I want to come to the anniversary
i f I can and I hope that it will be good weather."
--Jane Wiggins, Lawrence, KS.

genealogy had remained relatively
growth has taken place since then

The good effects? Many town, county and state genealogical societies have
been formed, most publishing quarterlies and newsletters concerning their areas
of interest. This has been a great help to searchers.in distant areas. Many
genealogical publishing companies have begun business offering a wealth of
books and data on most areas of the country. Numerous charts and filing systems
and how to do it books are available. Several magazines such as the "Genealogical Helper" have been helpful to many. Professional genealogists are more than
willing to help you for a fee. Workshops and conferences large and small offer
speakers on a wide variety of subjects. Computers are being used to increase
the ease of record keeping and retrieval.
Bad effects? Some county courthouse officials refuse to help genealogists
in any way, or .very grudgingly, because they are too busy or their records have
been stolen. Some professional genealogists turn out to be not so professional.
Some do not render the service paid for. Organizations such as "Beatrice B.
Bailey" prey on the unsuspecting genealogist. The economic situation has
limited some library services. Some such as Kansas City, Mo. are charging a user
fee. The federal government has eliminated interlibrary loan of microfilmed
census records and reduced other service.
To use our time and money wisely, we need to be aware of what is offered
for our use by libraries, societies, family associations, publishers, etc. If
we plan to use a professional, choose with care and investigate thoroughly.
Talk to other genealogists--they are more than willing to share ideas. Finally,
do not take genealogy too seriously, but have fun.
Sincerely,

f)~~

President

The First Baby
The first birth in this city was on the 25th of October last. The
Lawrence Association donated the boy a first class city lot, and named
him Lawrence CARTER, after the city and his parents. We learn that the
little fellow is quite healthy, and is growing finely. May he live to
see our beautiful city ranking with the first in the Union in all that
pertains to wealth, education, morality, and refinement.
We may be allowed to say, in this connection, that the first white
child born in Chicago is now but tt-Jenty-two years old, while the city
boasts of a population of near 80,000. May not a destiny equally
prosperous await our own Lawrence?
--Jane Wiggins, Lawrence, KS

RURAL MAIL DELIVERY AND UNCOLLECTED LETTERS
A letter from the General Services Administration dated lApril 1982,
gives the following information concerning the "Lists of Letters Remaining
in the Lawrence Post Office" which were published in The Herald of Freedom,
8 August 1857, 5 September 1857, and 1 October 1857.
"The rural service began in 1896, but post offices in some cities and
villages employed carriers to deliver mail before that date. Excerpts from
the 1851 United States Postal Guide contain information on the advertisement
of uncollected letters left in post offices."
The 1851 United States Postal Guide states on page SO:
"Advertising Letters.-Under the 5th section of the act of 3d Harch,
1851, providing for the advertising of uncalled for letters, the postmastergeneral has made the following regulations, viz.: When the gross receipts of
the post-office for the then next preceding quarter shall not have exceeded
$500, the postmaster shall advertise such uncalled for letters once in six
weeks only: When such gross receipts shall have exceeded $500, and have not
exceeded $1,000, the postmaster shall advertise once a month only: When such
gross receipts shall have exceeded $1,000, and shall not have exceeded $7;500,
the postmaster shall advertise twice a month: And when such gross receipts
shall have exceeded $7,500, the postmaster shall advertise once a week."
"Such advertisements are to be inserted in one newspaper only, which must
be printed in the city, town, or village in which the post-office is situated,
and must have the largest circulation within the range of delivery of said
office of any paper issued weekly or oftener, printed in such city, town, or
village. Should the publisher of such paper refuse to give such list of
letters one insertion, at one cent for each letter,' the postmaster will designate some other paper for this service. He is also required to post in a
conspicuous place in his office a copy of such list, on the day or day after
the publication thereof."
"If there is no newspaper printed in the city, town, or village where'
the post-office is kept, or if the publishers of all the papers so printed
shall refuse to advertise the letters for the price above mentioned, then
manuscript lists of them are to be made out and posted at such public places
in the town and neighborhood as shall appear best adapted for the information
of the parties concerned. Refused letters are not to be advertised, nor those
which the postmaster expects will be immediately taken from the office. Drop
and box letters, circulars, free packets containing printed documents, speeches,
or other printed matter, are not to be advertised."
--Pauline B.Elniff, Lawrence, KS.

* * * * **
From the Baldwin Ledger, January 28, 1921:
"A big wolf hunt has been planned for the Vinland neighborhood next
Sat. Jan 29. The round up will take place on the A.K. Stephens farm.
W.D. Fordyce is the manager of the drive."

PRESIDENT'S LETTER
The past two years have passed quickly. The Douglas County Genealogical
Society has accomplished a great deal, but much work remains to be done. I
have had the good fortune and opportunity to meet, in person and by correspondence,
many endearing and interesting people. Some I will never see but the friendships
made will be remembered for a long time.
My own genealogy work has had to take a back seat to a great extent. But
the rewarding experience of helping others has given me an insight into many
ideas and methods of searching. I would recommend copying records for the
Pioneer,indexing census records, working on cemetery projects, copying city and
county records, etc., as an excellent way to practice, at home, the skills needed
to do research in far away places where your ancestors lived.
A great big thank you to all members and friends who have made the two y e 1:irs
of my presidency enjoyable. Your help and cooperation is greatly appreciated.

Donald Vaughn, President

HURT WHILE FLUSHING SEWERS
John PATTERSON, A City Employee, Injured by Passing Team
John PATTERSON, a city employee, was flushing sewers in the manhole just
south of Winthrop St. at the east end of the old Windsor Hotel, this morning
about 9 o'clock,when he was seriously hurt by one of a team of EVANS Transfer
horses stepping into the open flushtank, and striking him on the head. The
driver did not see that the tank was uncovered. One of the horses hind legs
went down into the tank onto PATTERSON. The horse was rescued from his
perilous position and then PATTERSON was taken out. A Doctor was at once
, summoned, and after his injuries had been temporarily dressed he was taken to
his home. Dr.' SELLARDS found him in great pain and suffering from a bad cut
in the face. PATTERSON also complained of his side.

Viola KIDWELL was a cashier for the Farmers and Bankers Life Insurance Company,
Lawrence, Ks. They reproduced the following article. No dates were given.
A PATRIOTIC FAMILY
We were asked to reproduce the clipping printed below, as the various
branches of the KIDWELL family each wishes to preserve a copy in the family
records. We do not know what paper it is taken from. We are glad to reprint
the article with a few other facts we have learned of this unusual family of
brothers. There were ten of them when the war broke out--William, George,
Thomas, John, Luna, Henry, David, Joe, James and Joshua. All of them, except
the last two, served through the war in the. Union army. James was in the
service of the government as a mail carrier, and Joshua was too young. Thomas
was killed in battle. David and Luna were killed by guerrillas in Missouri
shortly after Lee's surrender. All the others lived to return to their home.
Henry KIDWELL was the husband of the Mrs. KIDWELL now living in Barnard. He
died in Eastern Kansas Nov. 24, 1889 and is buried in the soldiers' cemetery at
Fort Scott.
It will be noted that six of the KIDWELL boys were in one company;
ItW.L. Roney, Co. F. 8th Mo. S, M. Cav. Marquette, Kansas, writes: "I
send a list, alphabetically, of brothers in company to which I belonged. I was
First Sergeant most of the time, and have called the roll so often that the
names are all fresh in my memory. There were 23 sets of brothers in the company;
six in one set, four in another, three in two sets, and the remainder pairs.
The sets were as follows: Granvill F. BRYANT, William BRYANT; John BISHOP,
Richard BISHOP; John BLAKE, Joseph BLAKE; Geo. T. DELOSIER, Edward B. DELOSIER;

From a Panel at WATKINS COMMUNITY MUSEUM

Courtesy of Steve Jansen, Curator
Many European immigrants settled in Lawrence in its early days. The
1860 census shows 88 from Ireland, 66 from Germany, 71 from England, 26
from Sweden, 16 from Wales, 7 from France, 7 from Scotland, 4 from
Switzerland, 1 each from Denmark, Austria, Holland, Norway and Poland.
Also listed 24 persons from Nova Scotia and 8 from New Brunswick.
The year Lawrence was settled 1854 was a peak year for German
immigration into the U. S.
Germans eventually became the most numerous
Europeans in the Town.
In 1855 there were at least two Germans living in Lawrence.
J. G.
Sands, a saddlemaker and H. Katzenstein, a fabric dealer. The Territorial
census (of 1855) show there were 115 Germans in the Territory.
Germans
were encouraged to emmigrate to Kansas by The New England Emmigrant
~Ai~ Company. __ . ____._____ ._

their corps at the fort.

PIONEER i'-UDlHFE
Reprinted from J~n. 1959

This article was taken from Ford Times, Ford Meter Box Co.,
January, 1980.
The hospital news in our local paper lists the births, and
while there may be some babies born in private homes in this
community they're either extremely rare or don't get into print.
In most of our country nearly all deliveries are in ho~pitals,
and doctors are in attendance at a large percentage of the
others.
As a result, loss of babies in childbirth is uncommon
and loss of mothers has approached zero.
The story of my grandmother makes an interesting contrast.
She died before I was born but my mother told me memories of her
childhood when Grandmother evideritly served as midwife for a
large number of farm families back in the 1~70's.
Grandmother
had eight children of her own, did all the managing and much of
the work in running the home on the farm, and still had time to
help all the neighbors in times 'of illtiess, birth and death.
Pay for such service was unthought of.
Mother recalled many times when, as a little child, she
would be awakened in the. night by a man coming to their home on
horseback, hearing a short muffled conversation, then Grandmother
riding away on a farm horse, lantern in one hand and a bag hanging on the saddle.
Grandmother would generally be back at
breakfast but none of the children felt bold enough to ask what
had happened.
They had learned that if they waited patiently
for a while it would be ~entioned in a casual way th~t some
neighbor had a baby born last night.
There is no way of kriowing what losses, if any, my grandmother had in her midwife service. She was lacking in many
things now considered necessary in obstetrics, and I suppose
our present-day obstetricians wonder how Grandmother (and the
countl.ess other "grandmothers" of a century ago) could do as
well as she did. But no doctor could have served less selfishly
or with more devotion and tender loving care, and these things
may be almost as important in most cases.as.the modern techniques
and equipment in our fine new hospitals..

The following is a copy of a review by Louise M. EVERTON of a book by one of our
members, Dr. Thomas GORTON. It appeared in the November-December, 1982 issue
of The Genealogical Helper.
SAMUEL GORTON OF RHODE ISLAND AND HIS DESCENDANTS, 1982. Published by Gateway
Press, Inc. Written by and available from Thomas GORTON, 831 Illinois Street,
Lawrence, KS ·66044. Hardbound, 6x9 inches, 568 pages, indexed, $30.00.

An attempt to trace the lineage of as many living descendants of Samuel
GORTON as possible and to. provide a new historical biography of the champion
of political and religious freedom, drawing largely upon original source
material, are the twofold, purposes of this history. Samuel GORTON, a towering
Colonial figure of whom his descendants might well be proud, was an early
Governor of Rhode Island and founder of the town of Warwick. He was born in
. the chape1ry of Gorton, city of Manchester, Lancashire, England. He was baptized on 12 February 1592/93. Samuel married, sometime before 1630, Mary
MAPLETT in England, they were parents to nine surviving children. Samuel and
Mary, several small children and Mary's. middle-aged servant, Ellen ALDRIDGE,
arrived in Boston from-England about March 1636/37. This family's movements
to Plymouth, Aquidneck, Providence, Pawtuxet, Shawomet, back to England and
then again returning to America are chronicled by the author. Twelve generations of the Samuel and Mary GORTON family are included in this fine history.
A.numbering system has been used to easily identify each descendant. A fu11name index completes this fine history.

SLAVES IN LECOMPTON
Yes, through research, we have found some interesting stories of the early
slaves of Lecompton. In the Lawrence Daily Journal World, March 13,. 1933, it
states "The first census of Kansas, taken February 28, 1855, showed there were
151 free Negros and 193 slaves. During the years 1854, 1855 and 1856, the slave
population increased to over 400, owned by about fifty slaveholders. But when
it became apparent that the Free State men were in the majority in Kansas ,. and
the slave code was abolished by the first state legislature, February 23, 1860,
the slave owners left the ~erritory and took their slaves with them.
In 1855, Col. H.T. TITUS and GeorgeW. CLARKE, of Lecompton, jointly owned
a slave named Ann CLARKE. She ran away to Topeka, but was arrested and returned
to her masters; but soon after escaped again and succeeded in making her way,
through the underground railway, to Chicago.
Douglas City, a short distance below Lecompton, on the Kaw river, is one of
the ghost towns of Douglas county. There were two slaveholders in Douglas City;
Mr. ELLISON and Mr. WALLIS. A slave named Buck JONES, owned by Mr. DOUGLAS, in
Lecompton, bought his freedom by working for wages in Lecompton.
The Lecompton Union, (newspaper) in 1856, offered a reward of $50 for the
return of "Judy" a slave, who was supposed to be secreted in Lawrence.
A Mr. BROOKS, in Lecompton, in 1855-56, owned four slaves. Judge Rush
ELMORE of the Kansas Territorial Supreme Court, brought fourteen slaves from
Alabama to Lecompton; but soon removed them to his farm, one mile south of
Tecumseh, in Shawnee county.'
There were slaves in Jefferson County. A man named SKAGGS in Kentucky
township, owned twenty-seven; but took them to Texas in 1859. Our subject was
one of these slaves, as he is listed in the 1855 census, as living with his
owner James SKAGGS, on the list of settlers on the Kansas Half Breed lands
opposite Douglas City, east of Lecompton. Also is listed in this same census
Mr. WID. F. BAYNE, whom our subject mentions in his article who was his wife's
master.
The following article was found in' "The Lecompton Sun"Friday, June 24, 1904.'
We thought this article would be interesting to our readers, as this. slave
Robert SKEGGS(SKAGGS) is buried at East View Cemetery, at Big Springs, Kansas.
The home that he bought is now owned by Art and Ethel PETERSILIE on County Road
111025, northeast of Big'Springs in Douglas County.
Robert SKEGGS (SKAGGS) who lives in the southwest part of this township,
is the only man on earth who was a slave in the city of Lecompton. Our illustration is a pretty fair likeness of Mr. SKEGGS as he looks today. Mr. SKEGGS'
history would read like a story from another world; as indeed it is. Half of his
life was spent in slavery, he having been almost 40 years old when his master
told him he was free .. The old gentleman says he is nearly 82 years old and the
way he first learned his age was at the time of his old master's death when the
appraisers were fixing the value of the slaves before dividing the property.
His young master gave his age as the same as that of his sister and she was 25.
His young master took him at.$700. though the slave trader in his old home in
Kentucky said, if they would put him on the block he would start him at $1800.
for he knew his trade would sell him well. He was a blacksmith. .His master,
James SKEGGS, brought him to Kansas in 1853, and they settled and built a cabin
in Jefferson county on the farm that Matt JONES sold to Charles STARK a few
years ago. Mr. SKEGGS remembers when there was only one house in Lecompton and

�186

that was a "whiskey house." When he was a
slave he hewed, in the timber, the frame
work for the house that Mr. LEAMER lived in
for so many years and was torn down to give
place to his present residence. When Kansas
was admitted as a free state, his master
took him to Texas where he worked six years
a slave and two years a free man before he
got money to come· back to Kansas and see. his '.
wife's old master, Billy BAYNES, who lived
near Williamstown in Jefferson county. The
story of Mr. BAYNES' help and friendship and
the magnanimous way in which he gave Mrs.
SKEGGS her freedom. is a chapter by itself and
can not be told at this time. Mr. SKEGGS
spent his first year of. freedom farming .on
the shares; he got the ninth row of corn or
one bushel to the other man's eight. His
wife worked for her clothes and victuals
and the clothes and victuals of two of his
sister,' s children that s_he was raising.
The second year he got half and that year
made enough to "come back" to Kansas.

r.

ROBERT SKEGGS

Mr. SKEGGS and his wife are well respected by their neighbors. They are
honest, peacable, hardworking, colored people. They own the farm where they live
and owe no man a dollar. They are kind and hospitable and bear no resentment to
the system that kept them in slavery so long, and yet so long ago that a new
generation has grown up that never saw a human being that was once called the
property of others. Mr. SKEGGS often comes to town when he has business here
and never otherwise, for he is in no sense a loafer. He has promised to attend
the celebration at Lecompton, July 4th, and if his wife is able to come he will
bring her along.
The old
did not have
from, "but I
too, I could

man says that when he was informed by his'master he was free, he
a cent in the world, did not know where the next meal was coming
didn't worry. I knew if I could make a living for myself and him
get along some way with hi'mleft pff."

Col. NACE, Mr. &amp; Mrs. WID. LEAMER, and a. few other old settlers remember Mr.
SKEGGS from slavery days and they say his word is reliable.

Books for the Athaeneum.
Several books have been.received from Mr. Amos A. LAWRENCE and Mrs.
Mary WEBB, of Boston, for the Lawrence Athaeneum, and a large addition
to those already received will be sent on to this city early in the
spring, when navigation opens.
.
Our Athaeneum, though young and in its infancy, starts with fair
prospects of becoming one of the first Literary Institutions in the
country. May it prosper, and shed its benign influences over the minds
of all the inhabitants of Kansas, is no doubt the ardent wish of its
pioneer founders.

Chart of Lawrence
Gen. S.C. POMEROY who has recently arrived from Massachusetts, brought
with him several beautiful and well-executed charts of Lawrence, as surveyed by Mr. A.D. SEARL, of this city, in October last. It was lithographed
by L.D. BRADFORD and Co., of Boston, on a scale of 450 feet to the inch.
Every lot is numbered on the different streets in regular order. It is
an elegant piece of workmanship, and speaks well for the artists who were
engaged upon it. The streets, thirty-two in number, running north and
south, are named after the several States of the Union. Thirteen of the
streets in the eastern part of the city are named after the thirteen
original States. The balance of the streets west of Massachusetts street
are named after the remaining nineteen States, in the order in which they
were admitted into the Union - California street being at the extreme
western limits of the city. - What has of late been called Main street
is now named after the Old Bay State. - The streets running east and west
are named in honor of distinguished men, who have done something in the
sacred cause of liberty. Ten Parks are 'laid out within the city. Oread
Mount is set apart for schools and churches; Capitol Hill for colleges,
county buildings, etc. Five of these Parks have been named respectively
in honor of Roger Williams, Washington, La Fayette, Hamilton, and Franklin.

PRESIDENT'S LETTER
This past year has been a very productive time for our society. Many
sizeable tasks have been undertaken. The gathering and preserving of the
older records from our county is certainly going forward with great gusto.
The largest project, 6f course, being the complete cemetery census of
Douglas County. The many people who contributed to this mammoth task and
will continue to contribute until it has been completed will have the unending gratitude of this writer.
The many people, both local and those who are in touch by mail or
telephone, contributed many hours of their time and interest although they
were not in our society. To all of them, a big "THANKS". But, honorable
mention must be made of the special people who helped read the stones in the
severe cold last winter. This took much determination on their part and
great dedication to the task set before them. 'Because they worked such long,
cold hours, I want to here recognize each one:

EDITOR'S MESSAGE
The one person who is missing from the list above without whom the
Cemetery Project would not have progressed to where it is today is out
President, Jean Snedeger. Her enthusiasm and dedication to this important
task have been extraordinary. The record shows that during the past year
she has copied more than 15,000 Douglas county cemetery stones. She deserves
our sincere gratitude.
I wish to thank all of those people who continue to contribute their
time and material to "The Pioneer." If there are particular articles or
records which you would like to see in future issues of "The Pioneer,"
please let me know. Your suggestions are always welcome.
Sincerely,
Judy Sweets

MURRAY FAMILY
Rolf Camel MURRAY came with his family to Lawrence, KS in 1900 from
Seneca, KS. Rolf was born 1861 at Peoria, IL. His~father had died during
the battle of Mt. Kenesaw in 1864. His widowed. mother was left to care for
Rolf, his sister Irene and brother, Francelo. Rolf., the youngest, cared
for his ailing mother until her death in 1888. Irene had died in 1885 and
her husband had disappeared previously, leaving Rolf to raise their three
children. Rolf married in 1891 to Fanny Josephine WILLIAMS'. She was 14,
he 30. Fanny's widowed mother mistakenly thought that Rolf had come to
court her rather than Fanny, since she was closer to his age. Fanny and. Rolf
had ten children: Orville Orvest (1893-1934); Clella Elsie (1895);
Melvin Millard (1897-1973); Fay Etta (1899); Nina Hazel (1901);
Iram Rueben (1906-1907); Alta Ruby (1903-.
); Leslie Elmer (1908-1971);
Bernice Irene (1915-1948); and Viva Ariel 1912-1916).
This information was submitted by Nancy Ellen Robinson, granddaughter of
Clella MURRAY TAPLEY. Nancy has in her possession an autograph book of
her grandmother's containing autographs of Clella's classmates of 1912 at
Kanwaka School in Lawrence. If you would like to have her check and see if
your ancestors signed it, please send a SASE to Nancy Robinson, 236 W. Gregory
Road, Central Point, OR 97502. Teachers signing were: Edith WOLGAMOTT, Mabel
ULRICH, Laurenia SHAW and Miss McLAUGHLIN.

THE OLD QUAKER MEETING HOUSE DISAP.PEARS

I

I'

I1_--- ___ ___ _ __ _

_.

Abstracted from an article by Edward Bumgardner in the
Journal World, (Lawrence, Kansas), Saturday. August 23. 1941.
The recent dismantllng of the old Quaker church in east
Lawrence and the use of part of the material for the construction
of a new temple of worship makes the present seem to be an appropriate time to recount briefly the history of the old church and
pay tribute to the memory of some of the worthy citizens who were
accustome~ to assemble under its roof.
Soon after the settlement of Indiana Quakers at Springdale.
Kansas in 1857. came the founding ot a Quaker settlement about
'
twelve miles east of Lawrence. The 'first settlers were Jonathan
and Phoebe MENDENHALL. Lev1 and Sarah WOODARD. and George ROGERS.
This community was called Springfield. In 1869. Springfield.
thereafter known as HESPER. requested a qUarterly meeting wh1ch
wasse,t upon the f1fth of the th1rd month of 1870. At one time
H'e'sper had a membership of 1400.
. The "fIrst Quaker meeting 1n Lawrence was held in July. 1863. \:-- ,
less than a month before Quantril1"fs raid. In 1865. several
.
Quaker families settled 1n Lawrence. Washington HADLEY was the
f1rst to settle here. He was to become the f1rst president of
the National Bank of Lawrence. the president of the gas company.
served two terms as mayor of Lawrence. and took an act1ve part
in the format1on,of the yearly meeting after serving as the first
clerk of the ReS'pST' Quarterly meeting.
The f1rstpreacher for the Lawrence congregation was Mrs.
M. Cox. who served from 1867 to 1879 without pay. She was
succeeded by Wil11am NICHOLSON. The first supported pastor in
the state was John VI~NEDGE. who ministered to the HOMESTEAD
monthly meet1ngs in 1886. The first paid pastor in Lawrence was
William WOOTEN. who served from 1897 to 1908.
'
The Kansas Yearly Meet1ng of Friends was organized in 1872
and figured in notable migrat10n of Friends to Kansas. The Fr1ends
~eet1ng house stood on a knoll 1n east Lawrence from 1872 to the
present summer (1941). Stone and lumber from the old structure
were used in the new Friends church at ,S:ixteenth and New Hampshire
streets.
'
The first meet1ng 1n the new temple Was in October. 1872.
The total attendance was estimated at 3000. That was more than
the total number reported by the four qUarterly meetings. (Springdale had 536 members; Hesper 720; Cottonwood 594; and Spring River

767) .

..'

',i

,

Other Lawrence area Quakers mentioned in this rather lengthy
article were: Richard A. COX. Mahlon H. NEWLIN. Albert L.• COX. ""
John M. NEWLIN. Edmund STANLEY. Joh:ij D. MILES. Laban J. MILES. . . . .
Mrs. A. HENLEY. and Walter Roscoe STUBBS. who later became Govet-n6r'
of the state of Kansas.

Ahnentafel is a German word which means ancestor table(i.e. Ahnen=
It is a concise way in which to list your ancestors and
their vital statistics in an easily readible form.
By using the pedigree chart you can easily construct your own Ahnentafel. For
example. counting yourself as number one (Hl) on your pedigree chart. simply
transfer your name and pedigree number and your year and state (or country) of
birth to the top of the Ahnentafel chart. The names and dates of your parents.
(#2 and #3) • are then listed in numerical order under your name 'on the. chart.
'rhen begin listing your paternal grandparents' names and dates in their numertcal
order. followed by your maternal grandparents. Continue in this manner. listing
as many of your ancestors as you have on your pedigree chart. The empty spaces on
your pedigree chart are skipped completely on your Ahnentafel chart. 'l'hus. i f
you kno..., the name of your paternal great-grandfather. but not the name of yC'ur
paternal great-grandmother. you would list his name (#8). skip her·number (#9) and
go on to person #10.
Using the following examples of an actual pedigree and ahnentafel. it is easy
to see in what manner the Ahnentafel was constructed. Gail lists herself as #1.
followed by her father (#2) and her mother (1f3). She then lists her paternal
grandparents (H4 and #5). her maternal grandparents (#6 and #7) and her paternal
great-grandparents (#8.#9.#10 &amp; #1.1) • Sl..nce the names of her maternal great-grandparents are at this time unknown. their numbers are not written on the Ahnentafel
chart. Instead. the next number and name listed is that of the paternal greatgreat-grandfather (#16), whose name is known.
Remember that a father's number is always twice that ~f his child's, while a
mother's number is always one more than her husband's. Looking at our example.
notice that the father of Frank Garrett (#4) is Marcus Garrett (2 X #4= #8) ,
while his mother is Clara Belle Speer (#8+1=#9). To find the child of Edwin M.•
Jenkins (#10). simply divide by two and find that #5 (Nona Jenkins) is his
daughter.
Because of their compact quality, Ahnentafels are handy for exchanges with
other genealogists and show at a glance which ancestors you have knowledge of and
which ones you are still seeking.
On the following page we show the Ahnentafel of one of our members. Gail'
Garrett Van Loenen. what not try to construct· your ~ Ahnentafel. using the
steps outlined above?

PIONEER CEMETERY
Rich in History
Much of Its Story is Lost Thru
Failure to Keep Records
One of the most interesting landmarks in Douglas county to those with
a historical turn of mind is the old Pioneer cemetery, originally called
Oread cemetery. It was the first public burying ground for the use of
citizens of Lawrence.
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 in the cemetery.
The cemetery is located southwest of the University, on the road
leading from the campus to Number Six school. It is a six-acre plot, a
little north of the center of the east side of the NE quarter of .section 2,
township 13, range 19.
According to information compiled by Elmer E. BROWN, the land where
the cemetery is located was preempted by Aaron PERRY. It was established
soon after the settlement of Lawrence and burial was by permission and without system or plot.
Burials may have been. made prior to 1855 but the first burial by
marked monument was that of Cornelius C&amp;~BE~L. The inscription on the
stone says that he died on April 22, 1855 at the age of 56 years.
The second oldest burial, according to marked stones, was that of
Carl G. RAU.
The third burial was that of Thomas W. BARBER, who died on December 6,
1855.
QUANTRILL's raid on August 21, 1863 added many new gra"es to the
cemetery. Most of the victims were interred there but upon opening Oak Hill
cemetery in 1865 many bodies of QUANTRILL's victims were moved to the new
burial ground. A suitable monument was erected to the victims. According
to 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 G.A.R.,
thru the efforts of C.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.
BROWN says that thru the efforts of Mr. SMITH funds were raised to
build a monument to the unknown dead of the Civil war. O. WHIPPLE, a
plasterer and stone mason and a member of the G.A.R., built a monument of
brick and plastered it. Metal letters forming an inscription were placed
on it but have long since fallen away.
BROWN says the cemetery was once surrounded by a well-laid dry rock
wall fence. Boys after rabbits tore down the wall and the stone was
gradually hauled away.

�31

A black locust thicket grew over most of the ground and when the
surroundi~g property came into the possession of N.A. GWIN, he made the

proposition that if materials were furnished he would fence the ground and
turn his herd of goats in to clean off the brush. The fence was built and
the brush cleared away.
Early in the history of the cemetery, N.P. DEMING found that the deed
to property held by him to the north of the cemetery covered all or a part
of the cemetery, and BROWN says C.W. SMITH raised $135 to purchase the land
from DEMING. The deed was made on April 1, 1867.
The following, written by W.C. SIMONS, is taken from the Lawrence
Journal World of May 11, 1915:
"BEAUTIFUL OLD FORGOTTEN CEMETERY"
Tragic story of the early days of Lawrence written in stone where
early martyrs rest. Records have been lost and many of the dead have been
forgotten. The cemetery came into disuse more than forty years ago, when
Oak Hill was opened.
Within five minutes walk from Mount Oread, with its teeming life, is
a quiet and beautiful city of the dead in which sleep those who passed away
during the early daYS,,~/of Lawrence.
Originally a stony knoll, overlooking the Wakarusa, it has now
a spot of great beauty shaded by trees planted by loving hands many
ago. ~ere sleep early settlers, men,who fell in the border warfare
martyrs to freedom and beside them sleep little babes, who, if they
lived, would now be old men and women, for this quiet and forgotten
was used sixty years ago.

become
years
as
had
cemetery

Here, too, rest a large number of soldiers from Wisconsin regiments,
probably little more than boys when they marched away from their homes in
the sixties, and for half a century they have been resting with their faces
turned toward the azure blue of a Kansas sky.
The story of epidemics which swept away the little ones is told by a
large number of little slabs bearing almost the same date. Perhaps it was
scarlet fever, or diphtheria, before the modern anti-toxins of today were
known, but whatever it was it robbed: the poor homes of the early settlers
of Lawrence of their dearest treasures.
Character there is also in the monuments still standing or lying
broken on the ground. We find the ephemeral American policy of show in a
stucco monument to "tile 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 half century of exposure.
It was a long way to the old settler, perhaps two miles from Massachusetts s,treet and it was then up almost inaccessible hills, but those
who were living followed the bodies of their dead and planted trees which
have now grown to large proportions. Even these old trees show the marks
of storms which have blown across the hill and have left broken branches
and twisted trunks.

�32

As nearly as can be learned, this old cemetery, which has been known
as Oread,was opened in 1854 or 55,within a year after the town of Lawrence
was founded.
At the corner nearest the city are some evergreens which were planted
by the late N.P. DEMING to mark the graves of his parents. Old Mr. DEMING
loved trees and together with Chancellor MARVIN years ago planted the
walnuts which have grown into the beautiful grove just north of the
university buildings.
The very large proportion of soldiers from the Third Wisconsin cavalry
buried in the old cemetery is said to be due to the prevalence of an epidemic--Wi11iam CRUTCHFIELD says Cho1era--that was prevailing here while
this regiment was in camp enroute to some more southerly point. Others
admit the prevalence of disease but do not think it was cholera. Mr.
EDWARDS and Mr. HUDDLESTON remember the unusual mortality among the Wisconsin men while the Third was temporarily here, but as stated, they do not
agree with Mr. CRUTCHFIELD as to the cause. All the burials of the men
from the Wisconsin regiment seem to have been made in the old cemetery, and
more of them, in fact, than the old headstones disclose, because some of
the bodies, none knows how many, have been taken up and sent East, and
still others are in Oak Hill. The Wisconsin regiment did not have any
fight while here, all are positive, and they are certain its mortality was
caused by disease.
Not a line of the original records about the old cemetery are in
existence, so far as the Oak Hill cemetery officials 'and the old settlers know.
The Rev. L.R. NICHOLS, who died in Lawrence in 1858 and was buried in
the old cemetery and whose body is yet there, is described by William
CRUTCHFIELD as "A young preacher, probably 21 years old, who did not have
any pastorate, but 'preached around' here and there." He had not been
ordained, Mr. CRUTCHFIELD thinks, but was a divinity student out getting
experience. He died of a fever.
Charles L. EDWARDS remembers distinctly the first death in Lawrence,
and remembers seeing the funeral procession wind about the foot.and slopes
of Mount Oread on its way westward. Mr. Edwards was not at the burial,
but was very certain the interment was made in the old cemetery and that
it was the first interment therein. The dead man was name~d POMEROY (from
ANDRES history the name is Moses POMEROY)" and he was a near relative of
S.C. POMEROY, afterwards United States senator from Kansas.
David C. BUFFMAN, who is buried in the old cemetery, and who died
September 17, 1856, was shot by men, probably "border Ruffians, II who
robbed him of his horses while he was working±~ the field. He resisted,
or at least protested, and was murdered in cold blood. He did not die at
the time, but lingered, and was able to tell how he came to meet his death.
This-incident Mr. EDWARDS remembers distinctly.
Thomas W. BARBER, an uncle of O.P. BARBER, of Lawrence, died at a
point on the highway four miles west of Lawrence, December 6, 1855, under
the following circumstances;
He and his brother Robert and Thomas PIERSON, brother-in-law of the
BARBERS, were returning to their homes eight miles southwest of Lawrence,
following the old California road. They had reached a point where their

�33

route swerved from the California road toward the southwest when they saw
at a distance to the northwest a party of men supposed by them to number
a hundred or so. As they looked two of the three men rode away from the
main body and "cutting across" intercepted them. The Lawrence men anticipated no trouble and did not run. As they came up to the two men one of
the latter engaged the~ in conversation, and asked them where they were
from. Thomas BARBER answered, "Lawrence." One of the two, a quite young
man, then began to curse and said, "Why don't you fellows obey the law?"
and pulling a pistol fired directly at Thomas BARBER's chest, and followed
. it up with a shot aimed at Robert BARBER's groin. This second shot passed
through the saddle seat and into the horse Robert BARBER was riding. All
five then put spurs to their horses, riding directly away. from each other-one party eastward, the other westward. Robert BARBER, the only one of the
Lawrence men armed, shot at the two retreating men several times, and it
is thought he slightly wounded one of them. About a hundred yards west of
where the shooting took place Thomas BARBER sank from his horse, saying
he was shot. The others dismounted and Thomas died a few moments later.
The slayer of BARBER was never identified.
Thomas BARBER was born in 1814, and came to Kansas from New Paris,
Ohio.
Following is given the names and some of the data to be found on the
stones:
Caro1ita M., daughter of W. M. and M. L. BURHANS, July 25, 1868,
aged 19 months
At Rest, Jacob S., son of Absolom and Anna T. HOLCOMB, June 7,

L. M. HOLTZLANDER, Oct. 13, 1864. (This monument is leaning against
a tree and the grave it formerly marked may have been opened.)
A large stucco monument is marked with a copper slab upon which
appeared originally in white letters the following inscription:
"To the unknown dead Union Soldiers of the Civil war."
A broken slab, with a hand pointing upwards, was marked:
Frances M., wife ofJ.C. CUNNINGHAM, Aug. 12, 1864.
"I know that my Redeemer liveth."
Nearby are a large number of stones evidently furnished by the Federal
government to mark the graves of soldiers. Simply the name and company is
given and if one wishes further information there are somewhere the original
rosters of the companies.

Margaret J. SWEEZER, Aug. 26, 1855, 2 years.
Beside some large evergreens is a stone marked: - Martha GRAHAM,

is my Shepherd I'll not want." Wife and Daughter of Jno. M. GRAHAM.
James HALL, May 5, 1867. Age 54. At this grave is a locust tree
nearly two feet in diameter and about it are a number of graves ~arked with
ordinary stones.
In the south-western part. of the cemetery are a lot of graves, no
telling just how many, simply marked with the plain limestone pi~ked up in
the cemetery and placed to mark the grave temporarily until a better mark
could be secured. Those who placed their loved ones there have forgotten
them and today there is probably no one who cares.
Delia DILLARD, Died 1863. Age 73.
A masonic insignia also marked the stone of John BERRY, Jan. 30,

which reads as follows:- Gatte. Carl G. RAU. Geb. 22 Mai 1827, Gest.
4 Nov. 1855. Gewidmet von der Wittwe Elise geb. MAIER, mit ihremkind.
The stone is of solid granite and shows no wear while the four heavy iron
posts connected with chains will stand for a hundred years to come. The
best translation the writer could make is "Husband. Carl G. RAU born May 22,
1827, died Nov. 4, 1855. Erected by the widow, Elise born MAIER, with
their child."

A stone upon which the name STEARNS and the date 64 could be made
out was so deeply buried that the rest of the inscription could not be read.
There is evidence of an old trail leading through the cemetery and
Mrs. Paul R. BROOKS says that this road was open and used after the cemetery
was abandoned, but was finally ordered closed. The grounds were not fenced
until taken over by Mr. GWIN to be pastured by his goats.
A concensus of the opinions of E. HUDDLESTON, William CRUTCHFIELD
and Charles L. EDWARDS indicates pretty conclusively that the old cemetery
which was deserted in 1865 was abandoned for the most part because it was
comparatively inaccessible--much more so at least than the Oak Hill Cemetery.
Much of the distance was up a stiff grade, and the new site proved so much
more popular that after the new cemetery was opened internments out there
practically ceased. The soil in the old cemetery is said to be for the
most part not so fertile as in Oak Hill, and that fact had considerable
influence in the abandonment.

Not a line of the original records about the old cemetery are in
existence, so far as the Oak Hill cemetery officials and the old settlers
knew.
The date shown on the monument for Sarah PEAKE, Sept. 23, 1882, was
the latest date to be found in the cemetery when Hastie compiled his

have accomplished many things in the first half of this year. Our
membership means we are moving forward with great strides, and we

welcome the new friendships, and the warm feeling that comes from working
together.
Our financial situation has never been better, enabling our society to
undertake even more worthwhile projects.
We now are incorporated, and have arranged for bulk mailing for our
"Pioneers"·and Newsletters.
It has been a busy six months of money-making projects. Our booth with
the "Independence Day" celebration gained many memberships for us. Our bake
sale at the Lawrence sidewalk bazaar brought together many of our members
who not only donated "goodies" to sell, but endured the hot weather to work
in the booth.
Our workshop in September was a memorable success. With Arlene Eakle
as our speaker, how could we fail? We all came away wishing we could hear
more from this very knowledgeable lady.
We have Hugh Stouppe and his daughter, Janet Payne, to thank, for the
success of our booth at the Maple Leaf

~estival

in Baldwin, they did a

terrific job of organizing, which allowed us to become acquainted with many
new people, and for the selling of our publications.
A special thanks to Ramona Sedlak, and Maxine Hougland for,the garage
sales which added over $450.00 to our bank account. This was a big job for
these two hard working ladies.
Honorable mention for Jane Wiggins who is responsible for our "Mini"
workshop held the third Saturday afternoon of each month, at

th~

Lawrence

Public Library. This is a "help-day" for any member who wishes to attend.
Jane is also responsible for our excellent Newsle.tter.. She is assisted by
Zona Smith.
This has been a very productive time for this society, but none of
these events would have been possible without excellent board

me~bers,

committee chairman, and the many people who helped - each one a very important part of our society. Let's keep working together, and moving forward.
Thanks to all for making the first half of this year a success.
Sincerely,

�54

They tell me.
"Why don' t you get a n1 ce new s e t '
.
Of matching dishes? Throw these reliCS outl"
Dispose ot these. my ·friends? On never----This plate is tram the set my mother chose tor me.
The rest have all been gone these many years;
And here's her teapot. how the memory clings
Of gentle hands and tender. loving smiles.
Oh. nol This sugar bowl with handle chipped
Reminds me of the babe who long ago
Pulled on the cloth; my. my the messl
But only the handle chipped. 1 love it sol
This bowl. too large for shrunken family now.
Was my Great-GrandlllalDl&amp;'s. her full. hard life
And many chlldren speak through all the years
When 1 enjoy this bowl and polish it.
And this candy dish brings haunting memories
Of home-made fudge. Christmas trees. candles
And all the wonder of a young girl's heart.
A beloved Aunt on·ce treasured this small cup
And now it's mine to remember and to love.
These dishes are all treasures. memories

or fam1ly and friends and happy days.

Each time 1 use them. wash them. handle them.
My family is much closer. gathering 'round
To bring support and much remembered love.

GENEALOGICAL TIP

~~.

"Jane DOE. born 4-6-96". Have you ever received a pedlgrae
chart or a family· group sheet w1th a date wr1 tten in t.hls
manner? It so. you may have wondered, "Does thls mean that
Jane was born on April 6. 1'896 or June 4, 18961" You may
even have been unsure ot the correct century.
To av01d confus10n. genealog1sts would do well to adopt a
standardlzed way of writ1ng dates on thelr genealogical forms.
(l.e •• day. month and year). The month should be spelled out
but may be abbreviated. The year should have four d1g1ts. For
example: John SMITH, born 7 Mar 1856 and Mary DOE. born 10 Jul
1791.

MH ls an lnherlted muscle abnorma11ty, character1zed by
react10ns to several drugs normally used dur1ng anaesthes1a.
Boy, what a buncQ" of b1g words. Let· s cut the red tape and $et
r1ght down to what 1s MR. Whenever you sm1le. talk. or move a·
muscle. a body funct10n takes place without your knowledge. The
muscle creates Calc1um. In creat1ng calc1um. the mus:cle also
develops heat. The heat 1s normally d1ss1pated by the body w1th
no problem. e1ther ln a MH person or a non-MH person.
So what ls the problem? The problem lles 1n the: MH person
l:S.ng unknown to medical personnel. If a MH person rece1ves an
lnhalatlonal anaesthetlc. used under normal condltlons. the
anaesthetlc could falsely ask the body for more calclum. up to
).000 t1mes the normal amount. Thls causes a vast lncrease ln
hea t. whlch lf not reversed. 1 s fa t a l . :
Now I may ask. what 1s all thls med1cal talk dolng ln a
genealoglcal publl'.ca.tl0n.'f Well. MH 1s a genea10g1cal' problem.
Re search done by Dr. B. -.ftl'!J.. t,t .of Toronto. Canada, sho~s that
her MR patlents trace thelr ancestors back to the Acadlan llne
of DUPUIS. To be prec1se, George DUPUIS and Flave BONNEVILLE.
marrled 12 Nov 18)8, ln~·St. Anlcet. PQ.
What you have read £;&amp;'0 far ls fact. In all falrn~ss to thls
art1cle and: to the read~;r. I feel that I must 1ntrodu~e myself.
My name ls R1chard Tomsha.ck and I. have :been d01ng genealogy for
some 10 or 12 years. I do th1s str1c:.tly as'a hobby. I also
have no formal educatlon beyond h1gh school. I th1nk thls 1s
1mportant to thls art1cle. I say thls because I may say someth1ng 1n th1s art1cle that mayor may not confllct w1th Dr. Br1tt.
I would ~~ke to polnt out at th1s t1me. that Dr. Br1tt 1s
a world ret:t::o.~#.~'~'~d.gQ~~~:'ar1d very qua11fled\1WOrk1ng w1th MH. Now
to f1n1sh th1'Ef' artlcle. I have talked w1 th varlous people, both
lay and doctors. and have read various med1cal journal~ and MH
pamphlets. It appears to me that MH 1s a product of ~ ethnlc
group, w1th numerous Consangu1nous marr1ages. If th1s,be fact,
then 1twould hold true w1th the 'descendants of Sylva1n DUPUIS
and Franco1se LeBLANC. marrled ca. 1745. rehab. Assumpt10n 1767.
All MH pat1ents . traced by Dr. Britt. are descendants of th1s
l1ne. Both DuPUIS and LeBLANC lead back to Acad1a, as opposed
to French Quebec. At th1s polnt, Dr. Brl tt agrees w1th me. (or
I w1th her) that th1s DuPUIS line has someth1ng to do w1th Ma. I
hope to conv1nce her of the LeBLANC connect10n. at our next
meeting (sch_~du).ed for late Se.p.tember 1982) . : ' . :: '-- .-.~:~-::,,~ "', ',\:.

She w1ll have the final say. S1nce there 1s no cure for MR, Dr.

Malignant Hyperthermia continued:
Britt plans to enter all this informatlon in a computer. On
a national scale. a doctor will then be able to check:,;-the"
computer. prlor to sutgery. and see if you are part of an--1'IH
line. Prior to surgery lsi"lfthe key,. If they know beforehand
a person is of an MH;]:l'ne.d1fferent procedures can be used
1n the operat1ng room.:" Ii1.owledge prior to surgery will give the
doctors a few extra, min~es that may save a l1fe. I'll never
know 1f my work gave a doctor a few· extra minutes. or 1f I saved
a life with my work. I'll only know that I tr1ed.

There are other lnteresting artlcles about Malignant
Hyperthermla in Vol 25. Nos. 2.3 and 4 (1978-79) of tbe Wiscons1n
State Genealogical Soclety Newsletter taken from articles in the
Milwaukee Sentinel.
In these art1cles. Ma11gnant Hyperthermia is called. "a
hereditary dlsease of the muscle that affects hundreds of fam1l1es
1n the Midwest." Some excerpts from thj article are:' "W1scons1n
ls a hot spot." ·'One of the longest affected' blood11nes 1n the
world extends lnto the state. Its known lineage stretches back
• nine generatlons to the early 1800's. Its roots are planted 1n
what Was Bohemia. now Czechoslovakia. n "Phys1c1ans have cmnstruct ...
ed lnterlock1ng genealogies with about 3.000 names. The genealogles were gathered from hundreds of 1nterviews witn fam1ly members
and by search1ng through courthouse records and fam1l~ B1bles
for birth. ,marriage and death records. About 40 surnames have
been 1dentified."
A "local genealogy buff, 74 year old Alfned Straub has put
together the family trees of about 75 clans 1n the Marathon
county area. One of those genealog1es 1s 190 pages long and
includ~s the names that have appeared most often on hosp1tal
records of unexpla1ned deaths follOWing anesthes1a." M~~. Straub
ls credlted wlth saving 5-10 11ves because of h1s genealog1cal
research work.

Dear Annie:
'
After dinner I looked at the couch then at the desk and decided in
favor of the desk. I t is a bright day but cold, i f it hadn't rained
.I-+~
yesterday Jessie thought she would try going to Eudora. I haven't been
II ~
anywhere since before Christmas. They will surely think I have gone
,
south for the winter, or something else. What do you think we have been
l'
doing? I have been braiding the front of my new dress and Jessie has
embroidered two white waists for herself. I must try and get my dress
done for Easter.
\+.
Your letter was very interesting. We laughed over your going as
far as your money would take you. Tell Mary we don't want always to be
;~
sensible and I liked my valentine. Mrs. DOUGHERTY sent Jessie and I
i~
each a lace one such as pleased 'us when we were younger. Mrs. D. is in
!~
Lawrence. She expects to come home on Tuesday. Ella is in K.C. most
of the time but comes to Lawrence Tuesdays and Fridays. S. S. is still
:'i'
in Des Moines. Did you know that Ethel has a little daughter, born
: +.:
Jan. 27?
,
I would have liked to see the Air ships, but I do not feel like
I,' "j;1
trusting myself to them yet. Your Calla lilies would be beautiful but
I love the ·roses. I have some hyacinths.: and crocus in bloom and Jessie
I "j:f
brought me.a fine geranium from town, We have enjoyed watching them. I
~~
hope this will reach you before you leave Santa Monica. How soon are
~~
;+.
you coming home? I must write to father's brother. He celebrated his
90th birthday the 11th of this month, went 4 miles on the trolley and
!~
took supper with his sister-in-law and some old friends. Our Chicago
aunt died Jan. 7. It was her 77 birthday. We miss her. She wrote to
+.,
us and we are getting to be so few. Lots of love to all of you, M r s . : t

DEERCREEK-DIST-No.-48--~·
L.

There were at least two early schools in the Stull community before Kansas became a state. One
was about one and one-haH miles south of Stull on the farm owned by August Kampschroeder.
The other, dated about 1860, was two and one-haH miles southwest. of Stull near a rOck quarry
on August Waiters' place. This was a two-room log cabin on a bluff at the foot of which was a
well, and was a community undertaking taught by a parent or teacher paid by subscription.
Children came to it from a good many miles .around; church and Sunclay school.also were held
there with a Mr. Brown dOing the preaching and living in a house afterward occupied by Christy
Petefish.
The next schoolhouse was a frame building located about one-half mile west and one mile north
of Stull on the southeast comer of what is now the farm of Wm Henry Jr. It was built by Peter
Eberhart Sr., for the use of his own children, with a teacher hired and paid by him. A year or so
later, John Damn Sr., and Jacob Hildenbrand offered to pay part of the expenses if their children .
too, could go to this school. Other parents then asked for the same privilege and the enrollment
thus increased. This school operated for at least five years.
On August 1; 1879, E.S. Lane and Lucinda Lane his wife, Cleeded to the Board of District No.
48, one and one-forth acres of land described as follows: beginning at the Northeast comer of the
N.W. 1/4 of Sec. 36, T. 12, R. 17, thence running West 12 1/2 rods, thence South 16 rods,
tbenceEast 12 1/2 rods, thence North 16 rods.to place o(beginning. Trusplot was to return to
the original estate, should its use for school purposes be terminated •.
Mr. Eberhart's schoolhouse is assumed tei have been purchased by the district, and not being
centrally located, was moved to this newly acquired site. This was done with a stump-puller and .
horses. The building had to be anchored every fifty to one-hundred feet, winched forward far as
it would go, then re-anchored further on and the process repeated as many times as necessary to
get the job done. The task consumed two weeks. Apparently, education wasn't something to be
rushed into.
.
When set on the new site, the schoolhouse faced east, ~d was furnished with walnut benches
having at" least three pupils to each one. It was painted brown on the outside,and named' 'BroWn
Jug" in consequence. However, the name was eventually discarded, the building painted white
and re-named "Deer Creek, " for the little creek that flows nearby.
An old record of 1886, shows the teacher's salary for that entire term was $210.00 and the cost
of ,incidentals, $22:QQ.·

KANSAS RIVER STEAMBOATS
fvlany of us in this -2bfh--Century have-wondered if there VJere any steamboats on the
Kansas river. As we see it today, it is nothing but a small stream, hardly a rowboat
can navigate on it. Many of us have seen the days when this river could rampage and
vJipe out homes and many a crop land. VJith the lakes VJe now have, they keep this old
river pretty \'/ell under control and we fear not of it flooding. There is a'very interesting story that has been passed down through the generations and also appeared
in the first newspaper of Lecompton called ;Tb.~. Jecompton Union" in 1856 about a sidewheeler that navigated the Kansas river. At this time Mrs. Rachel Jane Todhunter, an
early pioneer lady of Lecompton and some other ladies saw a side-wheeler called the
~Saerie QueenHtied up at the wharf. The ladies looked upon the beautiful deck of the
side-wheeler and thought what a wonderful place to have a Ball. Mrs. Todhunter.was
well acquainted v/ith tk. Geary, the governor of the Kansas Territory, so she and the
ladies approached him and asked him to persuade the Captain of the boat to have a Ball
that evening.on the boat. The Captain was agreeable, so the ladies hurried about the
communi,ty spreading the vJord so everyone could prepare their costumes for the evening.
The Captain readied the boat, the music was found and that evening the Ball was held.
The ladies hadct,*~en their ball gowns out of their trunks and displayed their glittering attire for'the first time in the Kansas Territory. This was probably the first
Ball he,ld in the Territory of Kansas. This shovJed the pioneers~ ability to contrive to
have a wonderful time under such difficult circumstances-at that time.
Another interesting article appeared in a later newspaper of Lecompton, called
,"The
Kansas National ' Democrat' on Ivlarch 24, 1859 is as follows:
-',
\\The first trip of the season from Kansas City to this place via Kaw river VJas made
by the Steamer"Silver Lake": Capt. vJilburn, on Monday last. It is a fine sternwhee1
steamer, capable of carrying 50 tons, and well calculated vIe think for the busine,ss of
the river. Through the persuasions of our citizens, on Tuesday morning, the Captain
went up the river as far as Topeka. We were informed by the Captain that some of the
citizens of Lawrence endeavored to dissuade him from coming to this place, stating the
river unnaiJigab1e. The Captain informs that the worst bar in the whole river, he
found below Lawrence. We hope to see the~i1ver LakeUcontinue her trips regularly to
this place and would urge upon our citizens the importance of extending to her a
generous support.N
Andther article in the same paper on May 12, 1859-~This week our wharf has been
enlivened by the arrival of two steamboats, the GUS LINN and SILVER LAKE. The GUS LINN
left Kan,sas City on the 10th instant, and reached here on the 12th, and then proceeded
above as , far as Fort Riley. ~Je think that she will be able, as the river is in good
boatable, order to reach that place.
'
The, SILVER LAKE discharged all her freight here, and took on board a cargo of
corn, and left for Kansas City.,It is the intention of the owners of these boats to run them the entire season up
the Ka~, w~ich, from their light draught of water, vIe think they can. This enterprise,
of navlg~t~ng the Kaw, should, and \"Je.have reason to believe will be warmly seconded
b~ th~ cltlZens of the towns on the rlVer. Merchants having goods at Kansas City \'Ii11
flnd lt much cheaper to have them shipped by either of these steamers than have them
hauled in wagons--an old foggy way of doing. N

Boy Meets Girl
In the spring of 1909 I met Hattie Mae ROSE. She had come to the
~rackett Rural School to take her ninth grade finals.
She arrived on a
horse equipped with a sidesaddle--the first I had ever seen. We got
acquainted that day. Since she had to pass our place on her way to town,
I also was able to see her occasionally then. Later on we sometimes went
to the Baptist Church together on Sundays.
From that point we began to take in an occasional show at the "Nickel",
the first moving picture show west of the Mississippi River. After the
show, we could be found at Wiedemann's Confectionary Shop",-' drinking hot
chocolate topped with either whipped cream or ice cream, and for another
f:ive cents, a bowl of oyster crackers to accompany it.
Another thing about our early acquaintance that I shall never forget
was rece~v~ng a valentine from Hattie.
About this time Hattie joined the Baptist Church. Rev. D.C. BROWN
was its pastor. I remember him particularly as being accustomed to riding
out from Lawrence on his bicycle two Sunday afternoons each month to hold
services in the Barker School House. We often attended and I still claim
the Baptist Church as my own even though I never became a member of it.
In the summer of 1910 I left home and went to work for S.M. GENTRY,
a farmer who lived near enough to Hattie's home so that I could walk to
see her frequently at her parents' home where she lived 'along with her
four younger-not-too-angelic brothers.
Cdurtship Via Horse and Saddle
Hattie attended high school for one and one-half years, rooming with
the Jay BOND family in Lawrence, but illness caused her to leave school
and prevented her returning later, so 'she went to work as a clerk, first
in the Housemen's Clothing Store, then at Barteldes Seed Store and later at
the Kaw Valley Creamery.
An incident occurred about 1912 that I recall vividly. Hattie was
rooming at the Healey Home, 712 Kentucky Street, where several o,ther girls
also stayed. One evening when I arrived by horseback to calIon Hattie,
r was besieged by all the girls asking me to remain there for the night.
I promptly refused until I learned that on the previous night a large
black man had climbed through an open window on the porch into the room
of one of the girls. He was frightened away by her screams. A call to
the police only 1/2 block away brought a response thirty minutes later,
and': to make sure their arrival was expected by everyone, they came with
sir~ns blasting.
So I consented to remain for the night on the porch.
You never saw girls move so fast in preparing me a bed there. I tied my
horse to a tree in Central Park, and fortunately no one came along in the
night and turned him loose.
Courtship Via Horse and Buggy
One spring day in 1912, I walked to Lawrence, rented a horse and buggy
for ,$1. 50, picked up Hattie, drove eight miles southwest of Lawrence to the
farm: where my brother Bill and his wife Myrtle lived, and spent the evening
there. On the way back to town the weather changed and we liked to freeze.
I took Hattie back to her rooming house, returned the' horse to his stable,

�97
walked the five miles back to my place of employment. This warmed me as
the day which had started out warm and balmy had turned bitter cold to
the discomfort of both of us.
Later'.that spring I moved back to myoId home with my father as failing
health forced him to sell the home. We moved to the farm in Pleasant Valley
where my brother Bill was living. Later that summer I bought brother Bill
out and my father and I established a partnership.
During this time Hattie had returned to her parental home fourteen miles
from me, so I usually drove to the ROSE home on Saturday nights and remained
there until Sunday night. Once in awhile it was nearer Monday morning when
I got home. Often I would fall asleep in the saddle and let my horse take
me home. On one of these occasions, Hattie and I started out early on Sunday
m'orning for a family reunion to be held at the home of Hattie's uncle and
aunt, Jake and Nancy C~lliINGS,who lived eight miles southwest of Stull.
By the time I had made that sixteen~ile trip plus fourteen miles back to my
place, I had had a day!
Start of Our Married Life
After about six years of getting "acquainted", Hattie and I were married
on April 28, 1915. It was wild crabapple time, all in bloom. The wedding
took place at the ROSE home with Rev. O.C. BROWN, the pastor. Several close
relatives were there. We left for our new home--borrowing a pillow and
walking around the hill to our future home. I still live there.
,
Hattie's maternal grandparents, Joseph H. and Martha (RANDOLPH) HARRISON
had settled here in 1854 and had homesteaded this farm. The house nestles
co'sily just under the brow of a hill on the sunny southern slope. Much of
the lumber for it was hauled from Leavenworth by ox-cart, and so well was it
built by its owner-builder that it stands today in good condition. Three
generations were born in this house: Lucy HARRISON (ROSE), Hattie ROSE
(WIGGINS), and our daughter Elizabeth WIGGINS (SANDERS).
The day before our wedding, we bought our furniture from the C.J.
ERICKSEN Company--a cookstove, kitchen cabinet, bed springs, mattress,
dresser, buffet, oak rocking chair, round oak table, and 6 oak chairs at
$1..75 each. That is all I can remember--the total for all was $125.00
delivered. Mrs. ERICKSEN took off $5.00 because we paid cash.
With the $5.00, we bought things at Frank STRONG and Clark PRINGLE's
grocery store--pepper, salt, spices, sugar, flour, lard and other items.
The cash we paid. for the furniture was borrowed from Jack KELSEY, a
cattle buyer, also a friend. I still have the round oak table and oak
rocking chair.
A few days after we were married, we we~e shivareed by ten men. When
they arrived we were sound asleep but not for long! One man set his shotgun on the window sill near our bed--BOOM--we were not long getting up!
We thought we had to dress up, which took time in the near dark room. The
men.said, "If.you don't come out soon, we are coming in after you!" A few
days later some of the men came to our place. They took up a collection
and ,bought us six nice silver spoons. We were shivareed again by the
women and kids.
Next about our eats--we had milk, made our own butter and cottage
cheese, did not have much meat.·We often had tuna salad. Hattie would
put aster leaves in a bowl to make it look nice. We had the aster bed in
an old corn planter wheel. When bringing our mules by the aster bed from
the pasture, they ate some of the asters and made Hattie very unhappy.
Often I would hum, "Asters by the brookside make asters in the brook , "
which never failed to get a rise out of her.

�98
We took in less than $150.00 the first year. We had no telephone bills,
no lights, no gas. We sold some cream--got a check for 5l¢, butterfat l7¢
per pound. We raised some potatoes. Hattie baked bread--the first was a
dandy, later she became a champion. Hattie was a good cook, an expert at
making sour cream raisin pie, using lard to make the pie crust. We had a
few chickens, enough 'eggs to get by. Fried eggs good and brown are good
eating if you are hungry. I still would like to have some sour cream
raisin pie, also some raw fried potatoes crusty. We had one cow giving
milk, two heifers to be fresh later, several small heifers.
In 1916, we had more ground to farm. It was a wet year, we planted
the corn the third time. It was getting late by that time and Jack Frost
finished it. The second year we butchered a hog--had meat, lard and also
a telephone.
The first year we were married we did not have meat very often. We
would buy 25 cents worth of round steak and have brown gravy--a treat. We
raised a few chickens, tried to have one big enough to eat by the 4th of
July. Sometimes it would not be too big--maybe two pounds. We also had
h,omemade ice cream and angelfood cake. We were poor, but happy.
,One time my mother-in-law brought a fried young squirrel to a picnic
we had. It sure was good. Now we won't even eat one. Mr. ROSE always
h,ad a big garden--winter onions, surely good in early spring. Also parsnips,
and some years when cabbage was plentiful, they would make a barrel of kraut.
I~ was kept in the smokehouse.
They gave us some when digging it out (it
was frozen) and surely good raw. They also buried apples. The ROSE boys
and I would run our arms back in a hole and get an apple--sometimes the
apple would taste like the ground, but good.
Hattie loved flowers and had lots of them. She enjoyed the clubs
she belonged to and especially the Lawrence Flower Club for which she helped
judge flower shows several times. We planted many flowers and trees throughout the years. This year I counted 43 different flowers and 37 trees and
bushes that bloom annually on our place. In the spring, I have a "Flower
Day" and invite the ladies in the neighborhood to come and enjoy the flowers
a~d have refreshments with me.
I look forward to this each year.

storage basement at the Judlclal and Law Enforcement Bulldlng where
the old case flIes of Cl vll and Crlmlnal cases are stored ln metal ~&lt;-;'.
cablnets. Some of the flIes had surely not been opened slnce they
were placed there a century or more ago judglng from the amo~t of
dust on them.
As we read each case. we were struck wlth the polgnancy of
partlcular stQrles. amazed at the contemporary nature of others,
but m~~nly surprlsed by the wealth of genealoglcal lnformatlon
avallable. After readlng numerous cases. we came to the concluslon
that dlvorce records are probably the most o(tlsunderstood and least
utlllzed records avallable to genealoglsts. Why? Because we do
no usually even conslder that one of our ancestors may have been
dl vorced.
Just thlnk about your own famlly tree. Sltuatlon I: Your
great-grandmothermarrled your great-grandfather and 11ved together
happlly untl1 death dld them part. You have seen thelr marrlage
certlflcate whlch shows your great-grandmother's malden name. There
ls nothlng to make you suspect that she may have been prevlously
marrled and dlvorced. So, "Why check dlvorce records?" Answer:
Our experlence readlng early Douglas County dlvorce cases has taught
us that many of the women marrled flrst uslng thelr malden name,
got a dlvorce ~ a return of thelr malden name, and marrled someone
f!1lse uslng thelr malden ruune agalnL (Some women ;;"'o~$n:::;.the other· hand •
requested that .the·!S~~~:;,~(~ tl:J:~Jr flrst husban&lt;i be ~~stored to ":'
them at the', tlme of dlvorce from1 thelr second husband). Moral: Check
. dl voroe' record.s· in" yoUr ance-stor l-s- county justln 'case there was
a prevlousmarrlage and dlvorce.
'fh.tuatlon II. You know that one of your great-grandfath~rs
was married twlce, but you and your famlly have always assumed that
hls flrst wife dled shortly after marrlage and he then remarrled.
So, "Why check dlvorce records?" Answer: You may f1nd as we dld
that many men were marrled a flrst tlme, dlyorced a year or two
later, and then remarr1ed ln a year or so to someone els~. Even
though some of the dl vor oed men' s bl0graphlcal sketche.s, t~."a:;::&lt;?c:)l¢~Y::...

that he was dlvorced from her, leavlng descendants to assume that
the first wlfe died. Moral: Check divorce records. be skeptlcal of

Situation III: You are absolutely sure that there are no
divorces in your family, so "Why check early divorce records?"
Answer: While it may be true that you are unlikely to find an
ancestor who was divorced, it is quite pro:pable that one or more ~
ot your ancestors may have been subpoened in a divorce case as
witness for.either the plaintiff or defendant. If so, your
ancestor's depositia'lmay,give innumerable facts about himself
arid otherrelatlves. ·.I~tor:a;hc::'~'Ch'eck early divorce records,;;-fol!.::~l),Qssi ble
mention of your ancestor no matter fr9m what social level he came. _,~~
We found deposit10ns of witnesses from every economic and social level
of the communi ty., in the Douglas County divorce records.
NOW ••• lf we have convinced you t9 cons1der checking divorce
records, here are some of the treasures wh1ch may await you:
Name of the plaintiff and defendant; the date and place of their,
marriage; wife's maiden name; children's names and ages; grounds
for the divorce (if adultery-sometimes giving the name of the other
person involved), (1f b1gamy-somet1mes gi1V1ng name and marr1age date
of f1rst spouse), (1f cruelty or neglect-somet1mes g1ving dates and
places of incidents 'of phys1cal or verbal abuse); military serv1ce;
somet1mes real and personal property. occupations, ages, names of
other relatives; letters or other papers in defendant's own writing
answering allegations; newspaper notices of the pending divorce;
names of sheriffs and other off1cials; and many other items of interest
relat1ng to customs of the times and local h1story.
In one:'~trouQYll~ng letter from a soon-to-be divorced woman of
Douglas Courity"tc{'the Clerk of Court in 1864. we read the following:
1f it must be so i will g1 ve him a bill of d1 vorce. but ,:. ,';.." .
would rather 11ve and enjoy l1fe happily with h1m than do ",.
soc~,and lf the1r is any mercey in heaven and just1ce in law

.

. .-: If you've traced an ancestor to the' East coast of the United
States and the trail has gone cold without a clue as to where
the family came from. there is a strong possibility that they or
their parents emigrated from Bermuda. Bermudians have been
establishtng new family lines in the United States and Canada,
since Bermudars colonization in 1612.
Although every conceivable English name that. exists in the U.S.
also exists in Bermuda. your chances of conn~eting with a Bermuda
ancestor are particularly good if you are searching for a name
somewhat less common in this country, or even rare. Some of
those names listed below are (or were) common in Bermuda:

�The Old Lawrence Jail,' no longer in existence. was located
north side of present-day 6th street. between Vermont and Massachusetts streets in Lawrence. Note the bridge to the right of the jail
and the Bowerstock Mill to the right of the bridge. This photo was

The earliest jail in Lawrence was a 20 X 20 foot log structure built
in 1858. County commissioners. Josiah MILLER and William BARRICKLOW
were instrumental in securing funds with which to build the log jail.

park and was the first iron jail in Kansas. According to an article
in the Journal WOEld dated Oct 7 1937, the iron with which the jail
was constructed was put on the steamboat. "Izetta" enroute to Lawrence
but the "Izetta" became stuck on a sand bar at De Soto and the iron
had to be unloaded and brought the rest of the way by wagons.
According to the Republlca'n Journal. Lawrence. KS. Apr 27 1871 issue,
a reporter who visited the jail in April of 1871 described a cellon
the NE corner of the 2nd floor as IIdirty and squalid". Although the
cell did contain a chair and desk, the mattress was ~escribed as being
only one inch in thickness. Some of the prisoners whom the reporter
saw on his visit were: Dr. John MEDLICOTT, charged with the murder of
of Mr. I.M. RUTH ;"'the notorious I Cinda. Alex MONTGOMERY; SPRIGGS, the
crazy man; a Folish lunatiC; two vagrants. one petty larceny (six
months) and one attempt to kill (six months) ."
The Douglas County courthouse was built in 1903 on the S.E. corner of
Massachusetts and 11th St. A few years later the jail was located in
a building :;.;::I?;.~':ot the courthouse where it remained until the construc't;
tion of the new J"udicial and Law Enforcement Building adjacent to South

The Lawrence Journal World. Nov 22,198) issue reported the effort's
of Amelia BETTS of Baldwin City. KS to restore seven monuments al'cng
the Santa Fe Trail in Douglas Co. The monUments were erected by.
the Daughters of the American Revolutio~ in 1906 and 1907. Some 'of
the monuments are now in poor cQndi tion due to' erosion and other '"
factors. ;::,~~S$ BETTS believes that without some outside he 11&gt;. th~.~·
monuments may further deteriorate.
.
Miss :BEr,TS and Katharine KELLgy. ·are in the process of re$toring two /'
of the m:6numents, one honorj;-ng;~t,he former to~n of P~M~A and the .
other about one half mile north of BALDWll\lc CITY. The others in need
of restoration are at the sites of: ':GLOBE.,~·BLACK: JACK. BROOKLYN.
WILLOW SPRINGS, and FLAG SPRINGS. The one that needs'the most work
1s. at BROOKLYN. "It 1,9 just a wooden sign that says "BROOKLYN '".
The sign has iio~. t'o:uniia:'ta:ql}..,,-:, ,

j

Miss BETTS feels that if something-is 'not done soon to restore these
markers. future generations may not even .know the wher'eabouts of
such places as the long-extinct towns "of BROOKLYN and WILLOW SPRINGS.
She would welcome financial or other kinds of help in continuing her
goal of restoring all seven of the Douglas County markers. "If some

~~- PRAIRIE CITY. n~w extinct. was loc~t~4 one mile, S.W. of Baldwin

Ci ty. KS in Palmyra ownship. I t was not a ",pa.p~i:';.;~c,tty." as were many
of the other early names on the map. but a real town with houses.
stores. churches and even a newspaper. The Freeman'.§. Champion.
In 1856. a school for boys called the Heber Institute was begun
in the area and in 1857 a Roman CatholiC Mission was established
nearby. Most of the churchl!s members were from France and Ire,land.
Some of the first settlers in PRAIRIE CITY were: Charles BUTEL.

Henry STEVENIN. Pascal AVRIL. the BAYSINGER) S ,;(1, Nehemicah GREEN •

James LANE was the founder of PRAIRIE CITY and it was incorporated
on 4 Feb 1859.

Apparently there were quite a few PRAIRIE CITY residents from
Aurora. IL judging by the mention of that town in marriage and death
notices in 'i'he Freeman'.§. Champion. One of PRAIRIE CITY's streets
was even named J,'Aurora" •
It was in PRAIRIE CITY that Horace GREELEY made a speech to
400 people at a Republican gathering on June 19. 1859. SO'&lt;!JlJ. after
his visit to Kansas. he made his famous statement. "'Go West"Young

In a publication of the Santa Fe Trail Historical Soci_ety.
BaldWin City. KS. entitled "Where Was Prairie City?';. (1~55-i88j''';, Vol.
)..'a description is given of what remained of PRAIRIE CITY-in 1972:..
"The cemeteries, the railroad. the pump and well on What was Eden
Park. the ruins of the Catholic Mission on Liberty Hill, the abandoned school house and the two-story stone house (the C.N. and Mary

MOWRER residence) which at one time was a general store and inn t' and
lots of stone and other evt-dence of buildings" is all that remains
of the town of PRAIRIE CITY.
On the inside oover of this issue we show a plat map of PRAIRIE

You enjoyed the happiness of work and family.
Felt the pangs of grief that comes to us all.
Your cheerful self has gone on to realm more tranquil.
May you reside forever in Heavens beautiful halls.

A heartfelt tlThanks~ to those who "helJ)ed' to make this a most
productive year for our Society. Many projects have been successfully completed and new ones started.
Remember. helping with these projects can be a valuable
learning experience and will help when researching your own fam1ly
lines. The erosion of time causes a "wearing away" of records and
family history will be lost to many future generations if we don't,
compile information now. Rewarding friendships are created from
working together. Let's keep going.

called to th~ ho~~ the morning of April 27, 1871 by Mr. RUTIlI s stepson, Belmont. DeSPANGIL ) Later. other doctors were called to the ':~

At first. it was theor1zed that Mr. RUTH m1ght have committed suicide
until a search of Mr. RUTH I s bedroom revealed a small diary or memorandum book whioh included a letter implioatlng Dr. MEDLICOTT. The
letter had been written the night before by Mr. RUTH and addressed
to Mrs. RUTH, who had gone to Leavenworth for a couple of days. The

Dr •. John J. MEDLICOTT was born about 1841 1n Ireland (or was
of Irlsh descent)\ He was reared ln Marletta, Ohl0, served in the
Army ln a W. Vlrglnla Reglment, wasdlsmlssed ln 1864,/-and studled
Med1clne ln Clnnclnatl, Ohl0. In 1868, he marrled Mrs.- SarahE-. -DOYLE, a: wldow, "many years hls senlor" at Hagerstown, Maryland.
They moved to Lawrence soon after and he opened a practlce at hls
resldence. He was a member of the Eplscopal church. In 1871, hls
parents were stll1 llvlng ln Mar1etta, Ohl0, he had one marrled
slster ln Pennsylvanla. two ~rled slsters ln Kentucky (one brotherIn-law named WATSON, one named JONES) and one unmarrled slster ln
Clnclnnatl, Ohl0. Hls In-laws, parents of Mrs. Sarah DOYLE MEDLICOTT
had dle~ suddenly a few years before In.Maryland.
Mr.s. Isaac M. RUTH (Ann Catherlne VOULLAIRE RUTH. also known as
"Kate" or "Kltty") was sald to have been a French Creole. born ln the
. South about 1836. Her malden name ls unknown, but her mother's name
ln 1871 was "Mrs. MURRAY". ~j's-.-RUTH-was des·crlbed. as a- beautlful
and well-educated woman who could speak several languages and had
muslcal abillty. She went to St. Louls about 1853. where she marrled
a young lawyer, Seymour VOULLAIRE, who afterwards became Dlstrlct
Attorney of St. Louls. They ¢arrled, had s1x chlldren and remalned
together at least ten years untll she became lnvolved with Mr. I~'M •
.__IiUTH~ who was at that tl~e e1 ther a reporter for the Mlssouri fuu2(u~1i~:, '::_
;,. 11can or a postal worker. Subsequently there was a shootlng lncla.ent

�179

between Mr. RUTH ,and Mr. VOULLAIRE. both belng wounded. Soonafter.
the VOULLAIRE's were dlvorced and on 29 Jan 1868 Mr. RUTH and MIS.
VOULLAIRE were marrled ln St. Louls. It wasn't long before they ~, moved to Lawrence. where they 11ved wlth four of her chl1dren. (The
VOULLAIRE chl1dren declded to adopt the name DeSPANGH. whlch was
thelr maternal grandfather's surname. He was supposedly a French
nobleman). It was ln Lawrence that Mrs. RUTH met Dr. MEDLICOTT.
Isaac M. RUTH had llved ln Lawrence slnce the 1850's. He
drove a mllk wagon for qulte a few years before he went to St. Louls.
Hls father's name was also Isaac and he had at least one brother.
named Davld. Hls flrst wlfe was a Mrs. BENNETT. a dl vorcee whom he
probably marrled ln Kansas. She later dled suddenly. At the tlme
of the Clvll War he went to St. Louls and became a clerk ln the Post
Offlce (or a reporter for the Mlssourl Republlcan). After' hls death
and autopsy. he was burled ln Westchester. Pennsylvanla.
THE TRIALS_,

E-~

Dr. MEDLICOTT had been ln the Lawrence jal1 fo~nearlyjhalf
a year when hls trlal was moved to Garnett. Kansas (Aiiderson Co~J.
Due to wldespread publlclty. lt was felt that he would not get a falr
trlal ln Douglas County. ~WLRepy,bllcan Joy,[ni-l. a Lawrence newspape,r.
gave detalled coverage of the trlal from Oct lO'to"'Dec 9 .~ :t$2f: Dozens
of wltnesses from Lawrence and elsewhere"were'cal1ed. to' te-sti'fy,' Includlng such promlnent people as Gov. ROBINSON. John HUTCKINGS and
Samuel WALKER. Doctors were called to testlfy about the morphlne
found ln Mr. RUTH's body. (I t was reported that there was so much
polson ln hls body that flles on the sheet thrown over hls body were
polsoned and hundreds of them fell dead on the floor). Nelghbors
suggested that Dr. MEDLICOTT may have polsoned a black woman and
several cats as an experlment a few months before Mr. RUTH I S death.
Much lnformatlon was glven about the llfestyle and hablts of the
'
RUTH and MEDLICOTT families. Henry JOHNSON (allas Wm. Sperry~,., a
cellmate of Dr. MEDLICOTT. testlfled about an elaborate escape attempt
planned by the doctor. coded le,tters he passed out of the jal1 and
other damaging lnformat10n. 'Below' are the names of most of the w1 tnesses who t~est1f1ed at the tr1als of Dr. MEDLICOTT and Mrs. RUTH:

But the f1nal chapter of Mrs. RUTH's life is no mystery. This
woman, with "eyes black as coal emitting sparks that 19n1 te the t1nder
of a suscept1ble heart" went to New Orleans where she met (and married?) Mr. KELLEY, an agent of a steamship line, had a son, Paul and
moved wlth them and her other children to New York City about 1882.
Twelve years after the RUTH murder ln Lawrence, Kansas, a couple
was found dead in a murder-sulcide ~t an apartment buildlng on 22nd
St. ln New York C1 ty. At first the~bo~l:~!!rwere ldentified as those
of Horace B. SHEPARD and h1s w1fe •. But ln a few days the truth became
known. The woman was none other than Ann Cather1ne VOULLAIRE RUTH.
identified by her son, Belmont DeSPANGH. Unknown to her children and
present husband(?), she had been living a double life as Mrs. KELLEY
and Mrs. SHEPARD. It was believed that Mr. SHEPARD. a yound man in
his 20's wlth a gentle manner and from a very flne family of Saybrook.
Conn •• had recently learned of her past and that he had kllled her
and himself out of shame or fear. Hls fam1ly. when informed of the
tragedy, was devastated with grief. The former Mrs. RUTH was to be
buried in Greenwood" cemetery. New Yorko:C~ty,. It was said that ::Ohis
woman with the coal-blaCk eyes and vivacious temperament had "ruined
four men". But who can count the number of lives she had town asunder
during h~r lifetime?

2. 1859

Gentlemen: I lost ln the dlsturbances of 1855 and 1856: Flrst. one valuable
horse. about the middle or last of November. 1855; he dled ln consequence of
hard driving to glve me and others notlce of the Mlssourl lnvaslon: he took the
horse ln my absence: the young man has since dled.
Second. I lost near the same tlme. but a few days later. a valuable mare
rode by a young man. the particulars of whlch I know.,nothlng further than his
report. He sald she fell and killed herself. I have not seen or heard of the
man for three years past. These two horses I drove from Indlana. and they were
worth there $150 each. and more here.
Thlrd, I loaned to Mr. LOWRY a mule to rlde durlng the winter of 1856. I
went to Lawrence for her once and she was gone to Leavenworth. he did not know
who had her. She was taken from him again and rode to Fort Scott. to organize the people for detence, &amp; etc. Durlng this trip she was tied out to a tree
over night 1n the snow several times with nothing to eat. and somt1mes travelled all da~without food. so I was told. When she returned to Lawrence. she
was sick and never recovered. she lived a few months and died. She was a
large mule. 16 hands hlgh. three'''years- old. coming four: I paid $175 for her
in Missouri.
Fourth. I lost a large red ox. which I believe was killed and eaten by
the free-State army in Lawrence. in August. 1856.
One of my neighbors. Ell HUDDLESTON. told me he thought he helped to
dress him. It was common then to drive in cattle and kill them. Thlsc'ox was
worth i50.
)
Fifth. I lost a heifer which was kllled and eaten. A young man who has
slnce worked for me helped to do 1 t: His name is Henry C. CARPENTEB. He 1s
not in the Territory now. and I do not know where he ls. ,She was worth $25.
The evidence substantiat1ng these claims is on file with General STRICKLER
During the sUlDlller of 1856. while the free-State army was encamped near my
house. a few days previous to the at~acks on Franklin. Fort Saunders. and
Titus's fort. and for several days after. I was forced by circumstances and by
my sense of duty to feed many men. My provision and grocery bill was three
hundred dollars for these expenses. I was forced into the position of defending the country. and I was obliged to do it or run. G.W. HUTCHINSON is my
witness'~ere also Captain BELL. and Dr. ROOT, and many others.
There was no time from May tll1 September, 1856. that I d1d not have from
two to three sick persons to take care ot, made sick. I believe, by exposure
and hardship in defence of the Territory. I cla1m $)00 for money expended. but
nothing for serv1ces.

(June 16, 1896 i ssue()~;",~.
The HASKIN family who left two'months ago for Oklahoma is back
again and has taken 'possession of the HARBAUGH farm near the river.
They started from here. with two light teams and went allover the
territory and when they could find no place like BISMARCK, they all
gottogether one night at dark and said. "See here suppose we all
journey northward to a colder climate." No sooner were these words
spoken then all the family together arose and agreed to start at the
dawn of day for a land that is fairer than Oklahoma.
, An upper boy, a son of the late Dan BANKER, aged about 9 years
turned in one day last week to Aunt Sibley WALKER for a home where
he now'is unt1;.l a home is found for him. The boy has been turned
loose with no',~,one to care for .him. There were two boys of them not
related, that for months past have been running on the commons awaitlng some chance' to get to the reform school. Not long since' one of-:-, '
, them stole a dollar and by thls generosity on his part got two weeks
in the calaboose where he enjoys life to lts fullest e~tent.

E.W. BLAKER is perhaps the oldest gardener and vegetable deliverer in the, county. After passlng hls eighty-flrst mile stone he sells
more garden produce and the longer he lives the more he is known as
a peddlar.

A young man by the name of James MORROW, who for a few years past
has llved near BISMARCK, has been missing from his home forfou.r
weeks. He' owned about twenty acres ln po;t's.toes,' all of whlch are
stlll beneath the sod. He left a wife and four children; not one
of them know of hls whereabouts. He planted these acres w1th the
h1gh hope of making a raise, and seeing noth1ng prospect1ve before
h1m, his discouragement has led hlm either to sulc1de or derangement.
Somethlng of a search has been lnstltuted several times, only to
find no trace of the unfortunate man. His we1ght will reach near
200 pounds, and he is quite an iritellig~nt man 1n conversat10n,
be1ng always a hard work1ng farmer.
E.W. BLAKER, so well known around BISMARCK is spending a few
weeks at.Bonner Springs at ~ Methodist camp meet~ng.
OutSiders, or those who never go to town to trade, should spend'
some of their money wi th, J,.H. MILLER, who runs a stand outside of
the city limits by keeping q·il1.-te a store of goods.
The republicans made a rally last Saturday might at the br1ck
school house with several speakers from Lawrence.

the tlme ARTHUR thought that the lnvestment would be a grand success. but
the panlc later that year caused the bottom to fallout of the market and
the future Presldent dld not amass fortunes from the Leavenworth 1nvestment.

From Leavenworth. Mr. ARTHUR went to Lawrence by stage and he remembers
agreeably the excellent natural road upon whlch the stage ran through the

Delaware Indl anJreservatlon and the ploturesque oountry that bordered It.
He was less enthuslastl0 ln desorlblng the horrlble rlde to Weston along

lt was only the result of a drunken brawl, wlth whloh polltlos had
nothlng whatever to do. The man had been stabbed and the perpetrator

A cur10us and rather a startllng lncldent occurred at the ~~',
" dlnner table. A mali who had been 81 ttlng at Mr a ARTHUR' s left and
who had been plylng hlm w1th questlons was suddenly dragged out by
the Deputy Sherlff upon the charge of havlng k1lled BAILEY o~ th~
prevlous nlght. Learnlng that hls nelghbor at the ~lnn~r taol'e, ,tilas
a lawyer the accused, whose name 1s not remembered,.~~iins~8ted upon
retalnlng hlm for the defense ln the com1ng examlnatfon whlch was
to oocur lmmedlately. Excuses and decllnatlons were of no avall:
the man was very much determlned that the young lawyer from the East
should remaln and defend hlm. Flnally, Mr. ARTHUR agreed to go wl th
hlm before a maglstrate, ~ut upon arrlv1ng there succeeded ln Induclng hlm to employ other counsel.
A stlll more amuslng and lmpresslve clrcumstance whlch the

Presldent recalled with twlndllng eyes and an lnfectlous laugh, was
that the Sherlff had ln the room ln whlch the magistrate sat all the
prlsoners under hls charge. The jall was so lnsecure that he was
obllged to take hls prlsoners wlth hlm and he had them all herded up
ln a corner llkeso many sheep. ThePresldentremembers a 11 ttle
red-headed fellow, appar,ently about 16 years old who had be,en ar:';"
rested for kllllng hls own cousln ln a quarrel over a game of cards.
There were some half-dozen other prlsoners, all crowded lnto the
corner and surrounded wlth a klnd of paling. The examlnatlon of
the alleged murderer contlnued for a day or two, and the Presldent
belleves he was flnally dlscharged, but ln the meantlme he and hls
frlend had returned to Lawrence.
'
The Presldent reoollects vlsl;t;lng one or two other places lni-.,
the 'l',errltory, but cannot now recal;!. the partlculars. He dld 'not,
go to Topeka, then scarcely more'th8n a mere settlement, as he was
lnformed, but whlch he now knows to be a large and flourlshlng clty.
But for the panlc of 1857 and lts far-reachlng consequenoes, the
Presldent feels persuaded
that ~e would have settled ln ,the ,-West •.

Dear Brother,

Recd yours, glad to 'hear from you. We are all well excepting Pa
and he has to keep his bed the biggest share of his time. Will
send you the hopper with this letter as you asked the favor I
cannot refuse to do so. I think you will see some without me
sending them. I have just prepared them for sending. If they
are alive when they land it is notmy fault for I mashed their
heads. Please tell me in the next letter whether they were dead
or alive.

,I,

Well, Dudley, I was at a croquet party one week ago yesterday
afternoon. Had a very passable time. But I would enjoyed myself much better if you had been there. You cannot guess who'
came home with me. You need not guess Keely for he was no~here.
But guess Irving Love &amp; you will guess it. Well if George &amp;
Will had not told you about the hoppers I would say something
but that was the subject of their letters. The neighbors are ,
all well as far as I know. Mrs. Ferguson has not written yet.
If she does write I will tell you what she says in her letter.
If Frank and Ellen are anywhere about tell them that I send my
love to them &amp; hope them good lUCk. I will close as I want to
write a little to Chas &amp; Annie.

PRESIDENT '.§ LETTER t

Our Society has made great strides this past year. The membership
has doubled and continues to grow. Our finances were boosted through
a booth at the Sidewalk Bazaar last summer and three rummage sales.
Our library, housed in the Lawrence Public Library, continues to
grow. I extend thanks to all who made these achievements possible.
We have had a variety of guest speakers, as well as speakers from
our own group. These included: Arlene Eakle - Workshop; Ronald
Bremer - Seminar; Jim Martin - "Genealogy in General;" Don Hensen "Incorporation;" Sarah Judge - "Genealogy Fever;" Joyce Hensen "Value of a Good Newsletter;" Edna Welling - "Mormon Records;"
Helmut and Ursulla Huelsbergen - "German Records;" Robert Burt "S ons of the American Revolution;" and Dale Nimz - slide show on
"Old Houses in Lawrence."
I, too, joined the ranks of speakers, glvlng sessions on "Genealogy,
How to Begin," and on IIImmigration, Naturalization and Service Records.
In addition, I spoke at a symposium in St. Joseph, Missouri, celebrating
the 50th anniversary of the National Archives, on IIResearch in Court-_
houses and Alternative Sources," and gave a repeat performance on
this for the Jefferson County Genealogical Society. It was also my .
privilege to speak toa local senior citizens' group on family history
in general.
1I

We increased public awareness of our Society by having a booth at theLawrence Independence DaysCelebration and at the Maple Leaf Festival
in Baldwin. In addition, newspaper updates regarding our cemeterytombstone project continue to interest the public. The logo adopted
this year for wear onshir-ts or jackets has also created a visual
awareness of the Society's presence in Douglas County.
Thanks to our fine editor, we ~ere able to publish four excellent
issues of liThe Pioneer," and always on time! Our Newsletter staff
kept not only members, but also other societies, informed regarding
our activities.
The year also included a trip to Lecompton and Lane University, a
Christmas party and covered dish dinner, incorporation of the Society,
arrangements for bulk mailing, copying records, continuation of the
many facets- of the cemetery-tombstone project, work wi th the 1875
census, and development of five-generation charts.
A note of sadness invaded our IIgenealogy family" this year through
th: death of three members: Hazel Lee Simmons, Terry Koder, and
Ollve Stouppe. They- will be sorely missed by all of us.
My thanks to each of you for your part in our many achievements during
the past year, not the least of which-are the friendships which have
developed as we worked together. Let's continue the good work so that
the coming year will be even more rewarding.
Sincerely,

�2

and Margaret KINDEB.KNECHT; Johl1' William PAINTER, b. 15 Mar 1846, 1'10
and Sarah Margaret LOWER; Samuel PAINTER, b •. 4 May 1816, d. 1906 KS
and Nancy VANKIRK; and Solomon PAINTER and Mary ADAMS.
OUR PAST
"Sometime in the early part of the Nineteenth Century, and
somewhere in the state of Kentucky, two weddings occurred at two
different times and places. Our interest still centers in those
weddings ~ -_T~e ,first was that of Solomon PAINTER and Mary ADAMS.
There were~'-rour children born to this couple: Samuel PAINTER,
Sophia PAINTER ~ Hannah PAINTER and Isabelle PAINTER.
Since there is no one here but us, I will say that Solomon
PAINTER belonged to the poorer' class of easy g01ng Kentucky far,~ers.
In these days I fear they might be classed as poor wh1tes or Hill
B11l1es. Sophia PAINTER.married Eldredge HUGHES and emigrated to
Missouri; Hannah PAINTER married Samuel HAMILTON and lived in
Indiana; Isabelle PAINTER married a deaf and dumb man named DaVid
ARNETT; and they also liv~d in Indiana. Some of the children of
those families came to Missouri after the Civil War. Whenever you
meet anyone wearing the naine of HUGHES, HAMILTON or ARNETT, go a
lit~le easy and treat them with consideration for they may be. a dear
relative.
.
The other wedding was that of Matthias VINKIRK or VANKIRK as it
was called in after years, and Elizabeth WILSON. She was a distant
relative of Daniel BQONE. Hence our fighting blood. They belonged
to the well-to-do farming class and--if you please--lived in a hewed, double log house and owned a very valuable negro named Dave.
Now please don't tell anyone but there were sixteen children in this
family. I am not sure whether there were five boys and eleven girls
or s1x boys and ten girls. Two of that large fanily are still
:.
living at this date; Mrs. Mary KIMES, age n1nety~three years, of'
Holton, Kansas and Mrs. Adelia STONER, age n1nety-one, of Youngstown
Illinois.
.
"
There were so many in the family they were not g1 ven double,'
names; or .In~yhap 1 t was not the custom then. The names of the boys

were: John. James. Jack. Henry and Matthlas. The 'girls ,names~::
were: Sally. Nancy. Deborah. Mary. Adella. Ann. Amella. Kltty Ann
and Rebecca. The two last mentloned dled ln early chl1dhood. Kltty
Ann dled from burns recelved by her clothlng catchlng flre. Two
others dled ln lnfancy. As thelr names are gone from my memory I
eannot tell thelr sex as ln those days, the names told the story.
Among the names,acqulred by the marrlage of the daughters,
we have HAWKINS, PAINTER, BECKNER, KIMES, STONER, PERRY and TRACY.
When you meet up wlth those names be on your guard and best behavlor
for reasons glven above. After the 'death of Matthlas VINKIRK the
famlly moved to Illlnols and nearly all except the PAINTERS grew
qulte well-to-do or wealthy.
And now comes a thlrd weddlng and the one ln whlch we are
vltally lnterested: That of Samuel PAINTER, only son of Solomon and
Mary PAINTER, and Nancy VINKIRK, second daughter of Matthlas and
Ellzabeth VINKIRK. Thls weddlng took place
the aforementloned,
hewed, double log house on the seventh of January, elghteen hundred
and forty ln the presence of three hundred guests.

In

The brlde had attalned the rlpe age of fourteen years, elght
and one-half months. The gro:om was twenty three. They began thelr
home llfe ln Kentucky; moved to Indlana and after one and one-half
years there wen~ to the then sparsely settled, wlld reglon of Ililnols.
They stayed there twenty-flve years and dld thelr share ln subdulng
and peopllng that part of our country., They then moved to Mlssourl
just after the Cl vl1 War and helped ln reconstruc.t16n:~of that state.
In elg~t~en seventy-slx they moved to Kansas where they spent the
remalnder of thelr 11ves. Samuel PAINTER dled at the age of elghtynlne years and elght months and Nancy PAINTER at the age of elghtyfour years and four months.
Now I hope there are no eaves droppers around for I must tell
the palnful .truth. There were twelve chlldren ln thls faml1y, four
boys and elght glrls. The eldest, ,James Henry PAINTER, who became
known ln adult 11fe as the Rev.J.H. PAINTER, was born ln Kentucky.
All the rest were born lz;t I ll,lnols~' , One, boy ,Thomas Albert, and
glrl, Adella Evellne, dled ln early chlldhood; whl1e an lnfant
daughter llvedbut a brlef two hours and dled wlthout recelvlng a
name.
James Henry PAINTER marrled Katharlne CARTER and they were the
parents of one boy and five girls. Four glrls are now 11vlng. For
hls second wlfe he marrled Mrs. Nannle R. PIPER, who survives hlm~
Mary Ellzabeth PAINTER marrled James PHILlIPS. She dled at the age
of sixteen leaving an infant daughter. She. is Dora King SPAWR and
is still livlng. John William PAINTER married Maggie LOWER. There .\'~r.---­
were three boys and six glrls; three boys and four girls are living,
Eliza Jane PAINTER married Jackson BENNETT. Of their four sons, three

- --,

Feb 2. 1888 to J.W. REDDEN. Sec. State Board of Health.
Dear Slr,

i

I

. I

I regret that the reports of deaths recelved during the last year are so Incomplete as to render t~ose that 'have been reoelved practlcally worthless. By
comparing the burlal permits that were lssued by the olty olerk durlng the year
1886 wl th the reports of deaths made to thls office', I find the defect much
greater than I had supposed. Instead of an Improvement In the mortuary reports
durlng the year 1887. as was expected, I doubt whether SO per cent have been
reported. A few physlclans who are In actlve praotlce have entlrely Ignored the
law, and have not made· any reports of eIther deaths or birthsi while others have
made partlal reports. The reports of births and marriages are more complete than
durlng the prevlous year, yet they are not perfeot. The law requ1r1ng reports of
oontaglous and 1nfectious dlseases to be made to the County Health Offloer at onoe
by the physio1an In attendanoe. has lnno instance been observed.
.

I

-

Under these circumstances. I can only report my own observat10ns, and facts
derl ved from 1nqulry and oonstan't watohfulness. Measles. mumps and whooplng
cough have appeared In the oounty at different polnts. but In suoh a mlld form as
to requlre very llttle medloal attentlon. Intermlttent and remlttent fevers have
prevalled less than usual. We have had no small-pox or small-pox exoltement. hence
no vacclnatlng has been done. A few cases of scarlet fever have been reported.
but none fatal I It is posslble some or all may have been measles. Many Cases of
death, due to oonsumptlon, and oancer In Itsvarlous torms, have occurred; cases
of the latter have been unusually numerous •. Whlle we have not had any dlptheretio
epldemlc. It has appeared In dlfferent tamilies, in varIous parts of the county.
at varlous times durlng the year, wlth fatal results In numerous Instances. And
the fact that It has been more tatal In rural dlstrlcts than In the ctty. would
seem to Indl cate that its cause was due to impure water •••The Increasin~ frequency of diphtheria. with its tatal results. often strangling its vIct.ms in the
most horrId manner, should guarantee the most thorough inVestigatIon.
.
For nearly two years we have had more or lesstyphold fever'constantly;
durlng last. year It had almost entlrely abated, but early In July It appeared at
several polnts in the city of Lawrence, also in the rural distrIcts, and has prevailed wlth unusual fatality. During ~he present month, deaths due to this cause
have ooourred In Lawrence, and In at least flve townships outsIde the oity. Where
the water that was used for drinklng pUrposes was examined, it was found to be
impure. I. therefore reaffirm my views. which were expressed In former reports.
that the typhoid fever wh1ch has prevaIled in this oounty was due to the use ot
Impure water.
If there Is any movement In the dIrection of better sanitation ••• I shall be
glad to cast my mite In that directIon.

"A Kansas edltor. llke all other ·editors. we suppose, ls··gilad
occaslonally to get out of slght and hearlng of exchanges, types,
presses, composltors, devlls, and all, and enjoy a day amld other
scenes, even at the rlsk of belng called upon to make a speech or
respond to a toast. At least, such was our feeling, as, on last
S$.t.~day mornlng, we took a seat beslde the drl ver, on board a fourhonse wagon, containing the "Lawrence Cornet Band, lien route for
bLINTON. Our way was up the valley of the Wakarusa and, as usual,
as soon as we forgot our editorlal charge, we were longlng for a
quarter-section of that splendld_9.ottom sweeplng back on to the
upland just enough to glve us a 'good buildlng site. We were ready to
shout, "A farmer's life is the .l,.fe for me, sir." And then, as we
gazed upon those broad fertlle 'meadows, wlth the waving grass, we could
not help thlnking of our boyhood days, when, tolilng amld the hliis ,,."
and stumps, and rocks of " old Steuben," in New York, we spent tlme
and labor enough to have made a farm here as rlch and beautlful as
any New -York.
can boast.
-.The Valley of the Wakarusa resembles very much the far-famed ~
Valley of the Genesee, ln Western New York. It is full as wlde,' Ls
as good solI, and sweeps back wltha gentle ascent to the high-rolling prairie. Indeed, had it not been for the lack of large farmhouses and fenced flelds, we could easlly have lmagined ourself on
the Genesee flats below Genesco. We saw some flne flelds of corn
thls slde of CLINTON, some contalning we should judge. from twenty
to forty acres.
CLINTON, THE TOWN
Llke a great many other towns in Kansas, CLINTON 1s as yet, more
ideal tl1an actual. Tl'l~ town is laid off on a couple of quarter
sections of land adloining ~soUth~~,or_~tp.~e town of BLOOMINGTON). Some
. trouble or dispute about the tltle of the latter town, caused, I
-p~'lleve the laying out of CLINTON.
A well~filled store forms already
a part of the future village, and a steam mill is to be shortly erected.
The locatlon ls very pleasant. and is backed up by a f1ne... country.
The CELEBRATION was held in an adjolnlng grove. Abo'ut eleven
o'clock the processlon formed at the store aforesald, and 'Under
escort of the band, proceeded to the place of assembling. There was
a large attendance, some flfteen hundred, I should judge, and in all
sorts of v.ehicles, from good SUbstantial ox-teams to covered carrlages
and gay horses. The ladles and bables formed well on to half the
audlence.--a good.lndlcation thls of peace and prosperlty. Our Kansas
ladies have not yet learned that important lesson of arlstocratlc
high llfe. 'that lt is more proper for a lady to carry ln her arms a
nasty poodle-dog than a sweet -and smiling babe. May they never learn

The ORATION.--Now,dear reader, learn a lesson of the danger of
allowlng your name to be used as a publlc speaker. We had observed
our name on some large posters for thls celebratlon, but amld the array
of Generals, Judges-," etc., wl th whlch 1 twas assoclated, we had
culated on getting off 'wlth some "remarks ," occupylng say bout;'&gt;fi,f:t;een

have 1 t, the General dl~_no-t_~k_~_J'l~J? appearance .--one of the
Judges Was slck, and the other had been made Presldent of the day,
and so the poor edltor had to offlclate as "Orator of the dayl"
Well, how he got through wlth lt, we can't say. All that we
profess to remember about lt ls that a couple of those bables aforesald dld take occaslon to cry most voclferously durlng the most of the
tlme he was speaklng. Whether they thought that a proper way to
testlfy thelr respect for the-"glorlous Fourth. 1I we are unable to
dlvlne.
The DECLARATION.--Pardon us~ dear reader, for we had almost
forgotten the readj1ngof, that grand old document. ,full of the lmmortallty of truth'; Ifls such a rarlty. as well as luxury, to hear
lt read well. that we presume all 11stened. wlth the greatest
pleasure to the excellent lntonatlon and dellvery of the reader, Mr.
G.W. HIGHLAND.
The DINNER .--After the oratlon. Judge WAKEFl;ELD. the Pres'ldimt __ '
of the day. made an approprlate speech. and, th~nwe all went to
dlnner. It was served on some long rustlc ~.:tabres~ close at hand.
beneath the shade of glant trees. Of the dlnner-rt ls sufflclent
to say, that lt was a good dlnner. a free dlnner. and that- everybody.
boys lncluded. had all they wanted.
TOASTS.--After dlnner, (It was a coldwater dlnner. reader,)
came a goodly number of toasts wlth approprlate responses. We can't
remember all of them, nor the names of near all the speakers. and as
lt would appear lnvldlous to mentlon a portlonionlY. we wll1 only
", say. that the toasts embraced a good varlety of subjects. from liGen.
WASHINGTON ," and"The Day we celebrate. 1I clear down to "Old Bachelors. 1I
and that they were responded to ln as many d1fferent styles as there~
were toasts and speakers.
The BAND dld most excellent servlce. contrlbutlng by thelr f1ne
stlrrlng mustc, much. very much to the lnterest of the occas10n. The
ploneer Cornet Band of Kansas are a noble set of fellows. Free-State
men, true as steel, everyone of them, and most pleasant company. as
the wrlter hereof can testlfy.
The MARSHALL, the gallant Capt. Sam'IWALKEB. and hls efflclent
asslstant, Mr. J.C. PECK, performed thelr dut1es ably. and for the
entlre satlsfactlon of the assembly.
CQl'1~~LHOME .--We could tell you a n1ce 11 ttle story, reader, of
a long.• __ ~ea;y tramp down the valley of the Wakarusa. last Sat1ll\day I
evenlng. by the IIl1ght of the moon," somewhere between sundown and j
nlne o'clock, P.M., of muslclans marchlng manfully to thelr own sweet
stralns. of a "Llfe on the Ocean Wave." and "Bory 0 'More ," rlnglng
out on the clear nlght alri--but, as nobody was to blame except a
~.ody "as;wasn't anybody," we wlll leave that part untold.
The cltlzens of CLINTON and the surroundlng country deserve
great credl t for thelr enterprlse -and .. ~nergy ln gettlng up so f1ne

I

Reuben R. DOOLITTLE. a retlred farmer ofWa·karusa Townshlp,

Hls father~. Rev. Orln DOOLITTLE.• a natlve of New York. was for
many years' a mlnlster 1n the Methodist Ep1scopal Church. but
owlng to the stand taken by the denomination at the.tlme the
slave questlon was being agltated. he wlthdrew ·from the mlnlstry
and devoted;h.ls attention to lecturing ln behalf of the abolltlo,n
of slaves. By hls marriage to Elizabeth RANDOLPH he had nlne~­
chlldren. of whom our. subject was the fifth arid is the only one
in Kansas.
.
The paternal grandfather of our subject. Reuben Randolph DOOLITTLE.
was born in Culpepper, VA •• where he attained maturity. but afterward he removed to New York • .Durlng the war he was· employed as
dispatch bearer for General Washington.
When our" subject'was about nlne years of agEf,·-.the famlly settled
ln Michigan. -~iii 1852 he went via water' to··California. crossing
the isthmu~~of ·-Panama. Fo~ .two years and' four months he engaged
in mlnlng. He resumed farming 1~ Mlchigan. but soon became restless ag1ri. and ln the sprlng of'1859 started for Pike's Peak.
However. when'about one hundred and twenty 'miles west of Omaha
he met. so many returning that he dec1ded not to' go further. Consequently he drove down to Douglas County and bought a :clalm where
he now resides. afterward securing from the government a deed.
bearing the s1gnature of Andeew Johnson. to one hundred and s1xty
acres of land ~ His f1rst house was a log cabin:,1 in .w}l;l ch he lived
for about eight years. At the tlme of the war he was.J a member of
the state milit1a. but did not see act1ve·service. as he was
placed· on detached duty.
..
In 1885 he erected a comfortable house from'plans deslgned by his
wlfe. and here he has since res1ded. His wlfega1ned a reputa~atlon
throughout the county as a' 'skl11fui:buttermaker. -and at no time was .
a~pound of her butter ever sold for less than twenty-flve cents,
whll~_:at tlmes.it commanded as much as f1fty cents.

There have been several German settlements in Douglas County
Kansas since 1854. Most were situated in four or f.1 ve distinct'
areas of the county,:; Stull (Dear Creek Settlement) in the NW:
Eudora in the East: Worden in the South: Clearfield (Capt's creek):
and Lawrence.
The Pennsylvania German immigration into Douglas County began
by 1855 and the first D~kard Church was organized in 1858. The
EBERHAR'r and ULRICH fam'flies were two of many who settled in the
Willow Springs area. Some of those German families who settled in
the area of present-day Stull were: HILDENBRAND, GRESS, FRICKER,
HElL, HOUK, BAHNMAIER, etc.
In 1856, three members of a German Immigrant Settlement (or
Society) from Chicago, called Deutsche Ansiedlungs Verein (or New
Settlers Committee) were sent~out~':}as:::-B:rdo'ca:-t;1on commi ttee to chose
a townsite for a German settlement. The three men were: H. HEIMANN,
F. BARTELDES and C. SCHEIFER. Land for the settlement at presen,tday Eudora was deeded to the SOCiety by Chief Paschal FISH. Up
until the late 1800's the German language was used in churches and
and other gatherings of the Germans in that area.
In Lawrence, many of the German merchant's stores of the last
century were concentrated in the 700 and 800 block of Massachusetts
St., such as stores owned by: William WIEDEMANN, who owned a popular
ice cream and confectionary store: Charles ACHNING. hardware bUSiness:
Leo STEINBERG, dry goods: Fred WIEMAN, cigar maker: 'and Carl NEUMANN,
Central Drug Store (also called Deutsche Apotheker). A Turnhalle
(or German gymnastic Club) was established in 1857 on the SW corner
of 10th and N.Y. Sts. Later another Turnhalle was opened in 1867
at 9th and Rhode Island Sts. This stone building still stands today.
A German newspaper , DIE GERMANIA ,&lt;.:we;s:Cf:o.unded in 1877 by Gottlieb
OEHRLE ~nd in later years Henry ALBACH was the editor and proprietor.
Th1,s;:"'W~E9K~y,j'i:.paper was a popular one with local Germans up until the
outbreak of ' World War I when its publication ceased.
By 1890, there were 1,011 persons living in Douglas County who
had been born in Germany, according to the Federal Census. Today
hundreds of Douglas County citizens can trace their descent tr..om,one
or more of the early German settlers in the county.

A ver1table " g hIDd-m1ne fl of genealogical material reoently

this wonderful "find" with our fellow genealog1sts. We speak of
the so-oa-lled '''G'erman Alltim~egistrat10n forms" wh10h are in ,the
Federal Arohi ves on Banni ster Road in Kansas City. 'M1ssouri. If
you f1nd a reg1strat10n form for one of your German ancestors

learn your anoestor's date and place of birth. his or her parent's
names and plaoes of birth. but you will also'see your ancestor's
signature-. f1ngerpr1nts and best of all-:"a blaok and white photo

"When I came ,to this country over )0 years ago. I Came
with the intention of making this country my home; I took
out my first papers the first year I was here and my second
papers in 1892. I have tried honestly to live up to the
laws of our country ~ll the time and wh~n the United States
became involved in the present war. I never shirked or refused
a call to help whatever way I could in giving my time and money
for whatever purpose it was needed ••• I made the statement over
and over again to Germans and Americans alike that since our
country is in war with Germany, anybody who had any leanings
towards hls former home must put them aslde and take the only
proper stand "- __The- stand for America and America alone. If
this action brands me disloyal, and subject ,to attacks. I
would like to know what I should do? •• "

Accordlng to the Lawrence Dally JOurnal World of February 16,
1918. eleven German " a llens" of Baldwln appeared for regt-stra.tlon
that week. "Some of them have been here slnce yo~.th .((~e.il~g~~,mmdst .
honored cl tlzens. among others-cl vll war veterans."
~,.,
It seems unlmaglnable to us now that these Germans, some of
whom had been ln the Unlted States slnce the 1850's and cons1dered
themselves to be as American as their nelghbors, should be subjected
to the lndlgn1ty of reglstration as an "alien enemy", but it happened here ln Douglas County as well as in thousands of other registration centers across the country.

"That the t~rm "Orphan" in old-documents and, court records often
referred to someone under 21 whose father had died even though
mother was stlll alive; often mother was appointed guardian of
child under 14. and ln most jurisdictions if child was over 14
he could name hls own guardian, and many times it was an older
brother rather than the mother that they selected."

Eudora, in which he was interested, Mr. Pilla:
was elected its president in 1893 a position;
which he has fitIed with the greatest efficiency. I
As a member of the firm of Pilla &amp; Statler he i
also carries on a brick manufacturing business. 'I
In 1894 he erected a beautiful residence on a hill I
overlooking the village and commanding a fine:
view. At the time of the erection of the sweet I
,corn factory, in 1883. he was one of the principal
contributors to the same and became a stockholder in the company. He is a stockholder and
director of the Eudora Creamery Company, and I
,~as a stockholder in the Leis chemical works, of
Lawrence, Kans. When the Kimball plow factory was started in Lawrence he assisted in the,
organizatioti of the company controll.ing the,
plant, but the enterprise did not prm'e successful.
All movements of a progressive character where
the benefit accrui"ng to the people is unquestionable have received' the impetus of his encouragement and practical aid.
Since attaining his majority Mr. Pilla has always been a stanch RepUblican. As mayor of
Eudora, and as a member of the city council, also
as a school director, he has been able f!&gt;'greati y
promote local projects, and has given an.impetus
to the welfare of his town and fellow·townsmen:
In ~ IS7'I he received appointment as postmaster,
and continued to fill the office until 1885. Prior I
to this, from 1865 to IS7I. he served as assistant I
postmaster, having practically the entire Charg~
of the office. Fraternally he is a member of

a good education in the German language. ~ At
~ nineteen years of age he came to the Uriited
!,States, arriving in New York March 26, 18 49.
For fourteen years he remained in the vicinity of ,that city, and during ten years of the time he was

Being thus left sole proprietor of the store Mr.
Pilla continued the business alone. In 1872 he
enlarged the building and increased the quantity

i mercantile department, for some years he carried
ia stock of.. drugs, but this, is now discontinued.

"The pers1stent efforts' of a portion of thecltizens of Douglas
county to selze upon a portlon of Jefferson, has few parallels. It
ls simply a 6ovetuous desire, without any show of right, and can be
defended on po grounds of reason, justice or good nelghborship.
The only plea set up 1s that Lawrence has made some outlays on roadsprincipally if not entirely in Leavenworth county-on thls side of
the river. and therefore she ought to have a part of Jefferson
countyl Who ever heard of Lawrence doing anything of the klnd not
lmmediately for her own benefit? If she built roads it was because
her citizens believed lt was for thelr lnterest to do so; and they
never lnvested a dime in a road, except for an lnterested purpose;
and they have ten'tlmes over recelved prlnclpal and lnterest for
every cent they have thus expended on this side' of the river.
But we have a counter-clalm to thls plea. It 1s thls. The
citizens of Lawrence have taken wood and lumber from Jefferson
county ln value a thousand-fold more than all the outlays on thls
s1de of the rlver ln roads and everythlng else; and thls wood and
lumber have been taken without renderlng ari equivalent to this
county. These are the facts. Let them be known I
Another claim set up ls, that a portion of thls county is convenient to Douglasl Indeedl If this plea is worth any thing, it is
worth all the State, and Kansas may as well be annexed to Douglas at
once as by piece-meal; for every t1me she extends her boundaries she
w1ll lay alongs1de of contiguous territory, whlch it wlll be convenient to get hold of. This is worse than a robber's plea. It is
the very essence of bad nelghborshlp. If we have a plece of land and
choose to put our bu1ldings for our own convenlence or proflt, on one
edge of the land doew that glve us a rlght to seize upon a portton of
our neighbor's possesslons, simply because they are cont1guous? •• If
the r1ver. God's own llne of divlslon, ls not a stay to thelr greed.
what other line can present a barrler to the1r rapaCity?
1I • • • Lawrence has had ten-fold more aid from the east than any other
place in Kansas-more than all the rest of the State together; and yet
she claims speclal privllegesl A portlon of her ~itlzens want all;
and 1s they had every thing they would stlll ask for somethlng morel

This whole matter is in a nut-shell. The terrltory belongs to
Jefferson county. We have kept it ln its lnfancy'at our expense. We
therefore have a just claim in right and equity to 1t. Douglas ha~
none. The r1ver is a natural boundary. thenfore the best one. We
s1mply w~t our rights and good neighborship. noth1ng more."

The first school known of in what eventually became District No. 24, was located near the
center of Sec. I, T. 12, R. 17, on the Ben Kellog place. Some distance northeast of Big Springs
and a little over a half-mile south of the last school site, it was known as "The Old Stone
SchooL" This seemed to be the only name it ever had.
The writer has visited the spot and found the foundation half-buried in leaves but still clearly
discernible, in a wooded and brushy area where deer now roam, but which a century ago was'
open rolling prairie.
Within the enclosure given by some as 24 by 30 feet, but which measures nearer 30 by 36 feet,
lies a large block of dressed stone, and just outside a mound of stones covers what may have heeD
an old well, now filled in as a safety m e a s u r e . · · ·
'
It was built of native limestone with a dirt floor and probably faced south. Later the door was
changed to the east, with a blackboard inside at the west end. The stove stood in the center of the
room with benches arranged around the edges on which at one time, sat 65 pupils ranging in age
from 5 to 25.
.
Two terms of three months each were held each year. Patrick Geelan, a school teacher, came to
Big Springs fromIrel~~ by waY,~f~ew Jersey in 1855, and taught in this school fQuome time-=.

In Douglas County. Kansas the two prlncipal tribes who settled
the area were the Shawnees and the Delawares. They had arrived
ln Kansas in the 1820' s and by the time that most of ~h~m.we~e sent

THE SHAWNEE

By treatles of June 1825. the Shawnee were removed to a tract
of land "50 miles square s1tuated west of the State of Missour1
and wlth1n the purchase lately made from the Osage." This tract
1ncluded all of Douglas County except Grant townsh1p. (See map
on lnslde of back cover). Aided by the miss10narles who settled
among them. the Shawnees soon were livlng a relat1vely comfortable
l1fe wlth log houses and well cultivated fields. The Shawnees
'eventually estab11shed a form of government arid ~n the1r elect10n
of 1855, they elected the follow1ng members: ,- ,OO.uN..eIlI.: Henry BLUE
J~CKET. DOUGHERTY. TOOLEY. Simon HILL and TUCKER:.
CLERK: Matthew
KING; INTERPRETEB: Charles BLUE JACKET and, PRINCIPAL CHIEFS:
Joseph PARKS and Grah~~RO(:;:ERS~,
One of the f1rst hotels 1n Kansas was one bu11t and operated
by Shawnee Ind1an, Paschal FISH 1n present-day Eudora.* -The "FISH
HOUSE" (Hotel) was a welcome haven for many a wh1te settler pass1ng through Douglas County 1n territorial days and afterward. In
an art1cle ent1tled "Remin1scences of 1855" by C.H. D1ckson 1n
Collections of\ the Kansas State H1storical Soc1ety, Mr. D1ckson
r~c~lled arr1v n g w1th fellow travellers at Mr. FISH':~hotel 1n 1855:

,Shawnee Ind1an. Robert ROBERTTAILE held the' or1g1nal land
pate~t to a tract of land later to become the City of Lawrence.
111 1854 the Shawnees numbered about 900 1nclud1ng about 20 wh1te
men who had marr1ed 1nto the tr1be. On May 10. le54, the Shawnee
trlbe ceded to the U.S. the ent1re tract set apart for them 1n 1825.

The government retroceded to the trlbe land amountlng to about
200 acres per tribal member. mostly in Johnson County. As soon
as the land was thrown open to whl te settlement.. squatters came
from nelghboring states to secure claims in Douglas County.
THE -DELAWARE-- .

}i~/~~::';;--Br.eaent~":l',da.y'r,_GIlan,t' ;townshlp-in _Douglas Count-y~. Kansas. was:
\.part of the traot of land whlch the Delaware Indians settled in'
1829. The Delawares clalmed to be the pareC.,t.L·,stem"from.which
the numerous Algonquln trlbes descen¢ed and were referred to by
other tribes as "Grandfather". Thelr earliest known home was in ,tke
the lower part of Pennsylvanla and New Jersey.

In 1818. the Delawares rellnqulshed their clalm to the
State of Indiana and were assigned lands ln Mlssourl where they
removed to the James Fork of the Whlte Rlver untll the treaty of
1829 when that tract Was rellnquished and they were granted lands
ln Kansas "In the fork of the Kansas and Mlssourl rlvers extendlng up the Kansas Rlver to the Kansas (Indlan) llne'and up the
Missourl Rlver to Camp Leavenworth and thence by a line drawn
westerly leavlng a space ten mlles wide. 'noi:,th,··,ofthe Kansas
boundary line for an outlet. (Ft. Leavenworth was reserved to the
U.S.) (See map on lnslde of back cover) •
The U.S. government erected a grist and saw mill for the
Delaware and furnlshed them cattle. Some of the Delawal1ebecame
farmers. but the majority subsisted chiefly by huntlng and serv1ng
as guldes to wh1tes travel11ng West.
'.
In the book. Beyond The M1ss1ssippi. by Albert R1chardson 1n
1867 there ls a good descr1pt10n of a dark ra1ny n1ght ln 1858 (iif-;;
when Mr. Rlchardson. unable to travel any farther 1n the lnclement
weather oame upon the log house of a Delaware famlly not many m1les
out of Lawrence.
.
lilt was a s1ngle room ten or 12 feet square. There
were three men. dressed 1n coats and pantaloons. who
had long coarse black ha1r ••• and susp1c10us countenances" and "a stout squaw,. cheery and open-faced
(who) wore z1nc ear-r1ngs as large as sllver dollars".
"Crouch1ng bes1de her was a g1rl of 8 years also wearing
the metallic ear-r1ngs" and"from a sw1ng1ng hammock
an Ind1an papoose of American descent ..... "Supper· over
the little girl filled and 11ghted an earthen p1pe with
reed stem a foot long. Smo~~ng..a few wh1ffs she handed
it to her mother."
'
In 1854 the Delaware ceded most of the1r lands to the U.S.
At this time the tr1be numbered about 900. A large port10n of
the tribe removed to Indian territory in 1868 and the rest to
thelr. ~ome·s a-t the W-1ch1 ta Agency.

______ --../- est'ablishing industrial training schools for the youth of Indian tribes.

The first school was near Carlisle, Pennsylvania and directed by the original
promoter of Indian education, Captain Richard H. Pratt. Plans for additional schools
in more central locations were soon being developed. In July, 1881 the Lawrence
Tribune observed that Lawrence had a good chance to be selected as the site of one
of these schools.
Major James M. Haworth, Inspector of Indian schools, was to decide where to
place the schools. As an inducement to place a school here, local citizens worked
hard in the summer of 1882 on a fund-raising campaign which netted $lO,OOO!which
was used to purchase a 280 acre farm. The farm was offered as a campus for an Indian school and by the end of the year Haworth decided to locate a school here.
In 1883, architect John G. Haskell prepared plans for two dormitories and a
school building and work began on them in the fall. His brother, Dudley C. Haskell
was then Chairman of the,.Indian Affairs Committee in the House of Representatives.
He was an advocate of industrial training schools as worthwhile solutions to the
Indian question. By 1883, Dudley Haskell was a rising Republican politician and a
member of the powerful Ways and Means Committee. When Dudley Haskell died on December 16, 1883 from a chronic kidney disease known at that time as Bright's disease,
he was a relatively young man.
The Lawrence Journal stated four days later "Probably at no time in the history of our city has a death brought such universal sorrow and regret as that of
our deceased statesman." Dudley Haskell's life left a distinct memory of his value
and inspired a deep initial interest in 'the cause of Indian education which was assessed in the September 21, 1884 Lawrence Journal,. It stated that Dudley:

�109
"'studied the Indian question closely • • • had he lived he would have
accomplished a vast amount in aiding the. cause of Indian education:.l11
The newspaper spoke of the choice of Haskell as a name for the Lawrence Indian school
as being "a merited compliment."
Today Lawrence residents think of the name "Haskell'! and the Indian Junior
College as unit~d which in one way ~epresents the commitment of the people of this
area to Indian education. The Centenn:i.al Committee at Haskell has brought in
many special programs and 'helped all of us to see the great div~rsity and rich
culture of Native Americans. These Centennial activities are also leading to a
rebil:;th of local support and interest in this federal school.
~,re invite your part:icipation in these activities.
We hope you will visit the
exhibit, "Haskell: 100 years" at the Watkins Community Museum. Other centennial
!3,ctivit:j:es upcoming are, "Native American Works from Woolaroc, The Frank Phillips

Last Saturday evening Fred Ingalls. a Modoc. a bright and
interesting boy of thirteen years of age died after an illness
of two weeks. He belonged to that tribe that defied so stubbornly
1n the lava beds of Oregon the attempts of our government in '72-3
to send them to their reservations and finally were starved out and
ob11ged to cap1tulate but not until they had treacherously put to
death our Un1ted States comm1ssioners. General Candy and Dr. Thomas
who were attempt1ng to make a treaty with them. For this act their
leader Captain Jack and three of his followers were executed. The
tribe was then sent to the Lanpan Agency. I.T •• near Baxter Springs
Kas. and were for several years under the influence of those
consecreated and honored missionaries. Asa and Emmeline Tuttle.
Since their removal. however. the mortality among them has been great
and many have d1ed.
Fred was the last of five brothers. his father and mother having
also d1ed. He was a very bright. interesting boy. quick at numbers.
readily grasping ideas. speaking English well. of an acttve. nervous
temperament but never seemlng very strong or rugged slnce he came.
It ls sald that he planted the germs of disease 1n the territory
before com1ng here by the klnd of gypsy 11fe he led. camp1ng out
and sleep1ng 1n the open a1r. Monday we lald blm to rest 1n the
11ttle Ind1an cemetery and the serv1ce at the grave. w1t~ the long
row of school mates and fr1ends standing by with reverent ~ooks and
upllfted hats pay1ng the last mark of respect and love to the1r
young school fellow was touch1ng and 1mpressive. It 1s the f1rst
death that has occurred at the Inst1tute for n1ne months. There are
four other members of the tr1be here. a daughter of Scar Faced Charley
who was w1th Capt Jack at the massacre of the commlss10ners. and three
~oys. one called Asa Tuttle. from the miss10nary. a very bright,
·lnterestlng boy.

23. 1868. MosesKeokuk. Chief of the Sauk and Fox tribe was jalled
overnight in the Lawrence jail with three companions. MO-ko-ho-ko. Ka-ka-pe-quode
and Muscoe-tah. for the offense of "going to washington. DC." They were on their
way there to see the "Great White Father" to protest the treaty p,:'oclaimed
October 14. 1868 whereby the Sauk and Fox lands of Osage Co •• KS were ceded to the
lI:overnment where it "went to settlers in lots of 160 acres. at not less than ·$1.50
per acre."
The U.S. Commissioner of Indian Affairs. Charles Mix when he learned of their
proposed visit to ~ashington. had adVised Thomas ~urphy. Indian Superindendant
for Kansas that no d.elegation of Indians "in your superintendency will be allowed to visit this place during the present fiscal year ••• for the reason that there
are no funds at the disposal of the Department ••• to use to defray their necessary
expenses. Keokuk when read this statement replied that he had money enough to
defray this expense and left with five others for Lawrence. Ks in November of 1868.
Agent Wiley followed and made an aff1davit for the arrest of Keokuk and the other
chiefs. The case was brought before the U.S. Commissioner. W.F. Montgomery and
was set for the next term. Keokuk would not pay bail and was ordered to Jail.
However. he eventual+y did reach his destination according to the New ~ Tribune

EUDORA Townsh1p

SHAWNEE INDIAN,. PASCHAL FISH OF EUDORA. KANSAS
by Fern Long. Eudora Area Historical Society.

1985~·

Willlam Jackson was a whlte man taken captlve by the Shawnee Indian Trlbe of Ohio
when a young man and raised with the Shawnee. He was given the name of Paschal
FISH. Upon the death of Captaln.Rogers. the leader of the small Shawnee Band
near Cape Girardeau. Mo •• leadershlp was glven to Paschal FISH.
In the Indlan Removal Act of 18)0. the Flsh Band of Shawnee moved to northeast
Kansas on Shawnee Reserve lands near the present town of Turner. Kansas. near
Kansas Clty. Chlef FISH had a son. Paschal Jr •• born ln 1804 and at least four
sons; Charles. born 181). dled 1869; Isaac. b. 18)) ln Kansas Terrltory; Jesse,
died 1866. John and Wllliam and probably some daughters, one probably marrying
. Josephus Pascal.
.
Paschal FISH. Sr •• d1ed 1n 18J4 and hls son. born near St. Louis. MO and named
for h1s father assumed leadership of the Flsh Tr1be at age )0. He was educated
in a Friends M1sslon School and was marr1ed and had some children whose names we
have not found. He was an interpreter for the Saawnee M1ssion Manual Labor
School. his father had requested from the government. Hls wlfe and chlldren
mlght have ~ied ln one of the terrlble cholera or smallpox epldemlcs that wiped
out whole vlllages of Indlans as they came ln contact wlth the wh1te man. He
was a cousln of the Shawnee Prophet.
Paschal FISH, Jr. was also a blacksmlth for the government. a buslness man and
a Methodist Minlster. He was descrlbed as a kind Chrlstlan man. Hls second wlfe
was Hester Zane. daugher of Hannah (Dlcklnson) Zane. a Wyandot Indlan. They
married Oct. 14 1847 and she died four and one half years later on Aprl1 17. 1852
Thelr chl1dren were: Obadlah-b. 1848; Eudora-b. 1850 and twins-Leander Jackson
and Andrew-b. 1852. Eudora and Andrew went to 11ve wlth Grandmother Zane.
Paschal must have remarrled between 1852 and 1855 as hls wlfe. Consort FISH dled
ln the cholera epidemlc of 1855. Obadlah and Leander Jackson must have stayed
w1th thelr father as they were 11v1ng ln 1860 and listed on Eudora's deed.
Obad1ah 1s m1ss1ng on government rolls atter 1855 so may have d1ed then also.
Paschal then marr1ed Martha Captaln (b. 1814. d. 1860) at age 46. Wlfe No.5
was Mary Ann (McClure) Steel and he acqulred a stepoodaughter. Anna Ham. ln 1857
census. She may have been Martha's daughter. Anna marr1ed Henry W. Edmonds
(Edwards). also called Anna (Harvey) Edmonds ln 186) and had 1 chl1d.
Paschal's last wlte was Jane Qulnney and she went Wlth h1m to Oklahoma ln 1872
and ls on the Quapaw rolls and dled ln 1873.
It was probably ln the 1840's when Paschal FISH came to the Eudora area, as he
and brother, Charles operated a ferry over the Kansas River at the mouth ot the
Wakarusa and part ot Col. Donlphan's Army terried across the Flsh ferry enroute
to the Mexlcan War as they traveled over the Ml11tary Branch ot the Santa Fe
Tra1l from Leavenworth through the present sl~e ot Eudora to W1110w Sprlngs to
joln the regular Santa Fe Tra11. Paschal requested a Mlssion School ln the
Eudora area as his father had done and the Methodist Church started the Wakarusa
Shawnee Indian Miss10n here ln 1851. It closed ln 1854 due to the slavery
problem. Dr. Abram Stl1l and h1s two doctor sons. hls wlte and one son's Wife.
Mrs. Still. helped at the Misslon. Paschal's brother. Charles was lnterpreter at
the school The bulldlng reverted to Paschal and ln 1857 a group ot Germans
agreed to buy 774~ acres from him to tound a town. In 1860. when the Eudora deed
was Signed by Paschal. he was said to have been chiet ot 600 Shawnees. many halt
whi te blood.
Pascnal FISH bu1lt a hotel or inn on the Fremont-Westport Trail from the Kansas

"The traditional lJelawares refused to send their children to
school or the Chrlst1an Mission and they continued to observe their

/ thQ..t either Jones or Davis had ever been ~n_poss_essiun of this claim.
, I d~d not leave, but contiuue!l to work oil the claim. I found myrl
cablD burned duwn. On the 28th of May I was im'ited to assillt a

a~d went over there fur that purpose. 'Ve were cutting logs a short

out of doors, and, 101' sOllie weeks afterwards, I Raw hiM gooels out on
the open prairie, until he could I.uilel a house for himRelf. At that time I I'
had some conversation with Jones, after 1'111'. Ellisog had told me be had
been to my cabin, lLud had adviselLme to leave it, possibly for fear Jones
aud his party would turn me out by force. Mr. Jones, in conversation,
acknow ledged that he had threatened to shoot me if he found me in Oakley's cabin again. I returned to the cabin after that, and sent two of my
boys out to arouse the neighbors. 'l'he rest of us went to work to
forti(y the cabin, so thut we m~ght defend it, by loading our guns and
knocking ont some chinks between the logs to put our guns through.
I found written Oil the cabin door, "Yon are herel,y ordered to leave
.these premises by 4 o'clock this evening,'" 'l'his was written with
red chalk, but had no signature. About 4 o'clock, J 011es came to the
, cabin, leading a crowd. I went ont and hael a conversation with him.
~ He was allxillllR foJ' me to leave without further trouble, and insisted
" thllt I IJ1UHt leave at all hazards. After cllllsulting my friends, I COII; eluded to leave the cabill; ami we all (lill RO, and went ofl' from it for

crowu went up 011 thu rouf of the callin and set the shingle::! 011 fire.
I was not Ileal' enough to reeogllize that lUan. 'l'he cabin was burned
down. One of Illy HOllS and a ,MI'. Gront weut to the cabin !lIld took

I left the claim then

J.one8never~lived iii- that house, and did not. live in the.Territory, so ·fllr_as I know. After Mr. Oakley returned, he built a houstl on his
claim, and we then went on the cilliru again and occupied it. I went
..M my. share of the claim Bhortly after Mr. Oakley did, and I commenced building a house. In the conversation, at. the time Mr. Han·cock. W&amp;8 turned out of the house he was living in, Mr. Jones told me,
·when.! threatened to apply for civiL redress, that Judge Lecompton
,wL\S·interested in the claim. In September last, an injunction was
served upon me, issued by Judge Lecompton, forbidding me to commit any more waste by cutting timber on this land; and the case is
. still before. his court, and I have ever since been under that injunotipn.. After my house was burned, I went to Tecumseh, and uilplied
to. the grand jury for redress against these persons for having burned·
my house an{l threatened my life, but they refused to give me any.
,hearing. This was before the county lines were established. Attorney General Isaacs told me there was no law in regard to burning
'iwuseB _or mobbing persona, and they had no jurisdiction over it:

A LET·TER FROMP.ALMIEiA. TOWNSHIP IN 18.59--

Pralrle Clty. P.O. Douglas Co •• Ks
July 11th 1859
Hon. El1 If. Prlce.' Phl1a.·· Pa'
Dear Slr
Permlt me to address a few 11nes to you. on a subject however. on whlch lt
appears we feel allke. I am a mlsslonary of the Moravlan. (Unlted Brethran
ohurch) and have been ln the Terrltory ever slnce 1846. wlth a short lnterruptlon.
I have seen the operatlon on the frontler among the semlclvl1lzed Indlan and have
seen the Indlan ln hls orlglnal state. And havlng been at the federal Clty for a
number of tlmes about Indlan affalrs and havlng made the acqualntance of many
agents for the Indlans. I recelved conslderatle lnslde lnto that branch of Government. And when courts were establlshed ln thls Terrltory I made lt an object to
learn ln how far the Indlan would be protected by It. But. alasl all ls calculated to exterminate the Indlan and destroy or hlnder all the ggod whlch ls
done by benevolent Socletles. The master stroke. however. to accompllsh·the
object has been done a few weeks wlnce by the expoundlng of the laws ln relatlon
for the protectlon of the Indlans. It ls declded by the U.S. Supreme Court for
thls te~rltory. that there ls no law ln exlstance. by whlch a person can be
reached\1). who trespasses on the Indlans rlghts and that the U.S. has no rlghts
to prooecute a person maklng a settlement on Indlan's land.
.
For two years I followed up suoh cases. havlng seen hundred of cords of wool
carrled away. bul1dlng timber and ralls. Have seen how the Indlan so11. was
cultlvated by lntruders. houses bul1t on thelr land and maklng the effoltto drlve
the Indlan from hls own home. I thought lt lmposslble that person. gullty of
such cr1mes. and when 4 to 5 wltnesses stand ready to testlfy to It. should be
dlsmlssea and yet some 20 such cases were a1smlssed. that have made settlements on
not more than 4 sectlons of Indlan land and besldes these I saw about 50 other
cases dlsmlssed. My haart fal1ed me and I was ready to cry: "Lord lt ls enough
now. take away my llfe for I am no better than my fathers." I had no more hope.
for lf the Indlans can not be proteoted. for the averlesloness7 of the whlte man
• lf there ls no penalty that he has to fear. ·every stlck of tlmber wl11 be taken
from the Indlan. he wl1l be harraseed day after day. and I have already wr1tten to
the offlcers of my church that I conslder the mlsslon work closed ln Kansas and
that I were ready to return home.
But strange as lt may appear. lt ls so never the less that my mlnd recased to
the east. I felt assured there was nO,'hope ln the west of a reactlon. ln the
Indlan's behalf. but I had to belleve. If the east could only be enllghtened on
the Indlan treatment and thelr wants. they were not so corrupt. but would yet
rise up for the rescue of the Indlan: If there were only a man of splrlt and
abll1ty to revele and arouse them. That ls my only hope: And lt was cheerlng
beyond measure when a few days ago. on a vlslt ~o the Ottawa Indlans. I learned
of my fr1end John JONES. that there were socletles formlng for that purpose. I
read the proceedlngs of the meetlngs both of N.Y. and Phlld. I rejolnced at the
splrlt manlfested ln the resolutlons. I read your remarks and a hope gleaned up
ln my darkened vls1on. that the wlcked and destructlve course now pressed?
towards the Indlans. may yet be arrested. If we were only left alone wlth them
we could do much for thelr good. but the ru1nous course has gathered strength by
lts age. and power by popularity and the missionary can now only think of how to
remove the evil and he could see no way to accompllsh It. But the popular voice
can. I do not expect much from christlan denomlnations in thls dlrectlon. the
unlted masses can only effect It •. And. from the bottom of my heart I glve you
God's speed. "Come ,over and help usl"
I would now suggest that ln my oplnlon. you ought to lnvestlgate or see lt
done. or at least age tate It. whether lt be a fact. that there ls no law or
statute by whlch one can reach trespassers on Indlan rlghts. I know well that
there is a penalty of one thousand dollars agalnst maklnga settlement and e.
on Indlan lands • .But Judge Pettett declded "that slnce the land belongs to the
Indian and not to the U.S. the U.S. has no rlght to. create a revenue out of that
whlch does. not belong to it. that the Indlans should bring the suit. "Well we
dld by lnjunct10n and by lndlctment for the Indlans and for the U.S. but nothlng
would do'. And a Indlan to br1ng sult. ln hls name 1s nonsense • . How can a ward
sue? Yet I am not a lawyer and do therefore not understand the law.
Hop1ng that these llnes may flnd favor.
I am. very respectfully yours.

ON. JOliN CRIMP WATTS, who has
made his home in Kansas since the fall. of
1856, was born near Plymouth, Devonshne,
England, September 3, 1835, a son of John and
Elizabeth (Crimp) Watts, natives of the same
shire. His father, who was the son of a stone
masen, leamed that trade at an early age and
after a t;ille began to take contracts. While engaged i" filling a contract he accidentally fell from
the belfry of a church and was so injured that hei
died six months later. Besides his wife (whol
came to Kansas and died here at the age of fifty-:
six yt;::.r~) ;-.e left four children, of whom John I
Crimp is the oldest and the only 5urvh-or. Isaac, I
the secone: son, was a soldier in the British
army and served in India, hu: resigned, came to'
America and settled in Kansas, where he died.
Thomas, who was also a soldier in India, came
to Ka:JS3S in the early days and remained here
until18i9, when he went east, and since then all
trace of '~'m has be~n lost. Mary, the only daugh- i
ter, married A. Woods, and died in Lawrence.
After his father's death our subject was ap-;
prentic~d to his partner, with whom he remained I
until he was eighteen. In 1853 he came to
America on the sailer "Rose," and landed in
Quebe;: ~fter a voyage of eight weeks. Going to
Cleve1a::;1, Ohio, he worked as a stone mason
and hric:'12.yer. In 1854 he went to Chicago and
Waukegon, Ill., in both of which places he found
employment and began contracting. In the fall ,
o[ 1856 be qme to Kansas. He was then a young'
man of twenty-one years. With all the enthusi- :
asw of youth
began life in a new country
amid hardships and difficulties. Going to Pottawatomie County he took up the first claim near r
Louisville, and there he built a house and made;
improvements, retaiuing the place for four years.
As he passed through Lawrence he had noticed
some stone buildings, and thinking it might be
possible for him to secure work, he returned to

this city in February, 1857, and began contracting a::td building. In order to hold his claim on
Rock Creek, every six months for two years he
made a· trip to it, starting from Lawrence on foot
at noon and w::lking twcnty-five miles tbat day,
and twenty-nine the next, reacbing the land after
dark. Four years after be had settled in Lawrence a m::1D offered him $1,000 for it. He accepted
the offer, deposited tbe money in a bank which
failed three days later, entailing a total loss to
him. Undiscouraged, however, he continued his
work as contractor, and in time became successful, he and his uncle, Abraham Watts, being
partncrs. He built the Miller block, G. A. R.
building, Poehler block. tbe grocery building
owned by Jobn Jones, and many residences i:J :
this city. About 1890 he practically retired from i
business, although since then he has consen ted ,
to take a few important contracts, among them:
tbat of the library building in the UniYersitr of i
Kansas (1894), and the Fowler shops at the university (1898).. He is the owner of considerabie I
valuable, property in Lawrence, and bas dealt ex- I
tensh'ely in real est"te. During the antebellum I·
days he experienced all the terrors oi border warfare, and remembers well tbe pe.rils of tbe Quan- I
trell ra'id that brought deatb and disaster to the i
people of Lawrence. At the time of the Price'
raid he was mustered into Company A, Third i
Kansas Militia, under Captain Wheeler as corporal, and went with his regiment down to the
Blue.'
In Lawrence Mr. Watts married Fannie,
daughter o{ Thomas Collier, who came frolll
Pennsylvania to Lawrence in 1857. They be·came the parents of six children, of whom Mary
died at fourteen years, and the others are at
home. Mr. Watts voted the Republican ticket
until the Tilden campaign, since which time he
has been a Democrat. He is serving his third
term as chairman of the Democratic county committee. For three terms he represented the third
and iourtb wards in -the city council, 'where he
was chairman of the committee on streets, alleys
and bridges. For two years he held the office of
,street commissioner. On the Republican ticket,
in 1874, he was elected to tbe legislature, receh'ing a majority Of six-hllllOreQoverAlexanaer
. Banks. In the session of 1875 he secured the,
passage of a bill assessing property and stock at '
the place of their location. Not wishing to be
the recipient of any favors from the railroads, he
sent hack 'all passes presented to him~ For two
years he was a director of the state penitentiary
under Governor Glick. After becoming a Demo- I
crat he was a candidate for sheriff and treasnrer I
of Douglas County, bpt his party being in the!
minority he failed of election. However, he over- I
came a majority of o~e thousand and was defeat- :
ed by only one hundred votes. He is a demitted
member of the Odd Fellows, and belongs to the:
.
Fraternal Aid Association, the Ancient O. rderjofi

-

as Willow Spr1ngs. I t stan.,,,
1n 1869 as a part ~f the Lawrence Circuit and later as a part cf the
Eudora Circuit. In 1905 Deer Creek(now Stull) and Willow Springs comprised a circuit.
~ext we became a full-time appointment and the
name was changed to Worden, for the community in which our church is
located, rather than the township. The town of Willow Springs was an
important stop on the Santa Fe Trail, was located 5 miles northeast of
Worden(where the German Baptist Church is now located). The Willow
Springs postoffice was closed November I, 1900.
Worden's history as a post office address(although we still get
mail addressed to Worden, Kansas)is found in KANSAS POST OFFICES by
Robert W. Baughman: "A post office was es tab lished on September 22,
1884. John F. Schott was the first postmaster. This farming community
is located east of Globe in south
Douglas County. The post office
was discontinued on May 31, 1895; reopened September 9, 1896, but was
permanently closed on July IS, 1904."
The question of where Worden got its name seems to have two possible
answers. I am told by Raymond Schott, grandson of John Fredrick Schott,
first and only Worden postmsster(this postoffice was located on the
Fred Turner farm)that close to Oldenburg, Germany, where the Schott
family came from, was a.town by the name of Worden. The Schott family
had conections with the Worden Church, Miss Gertrude E. Schott was a
member from 1909 until her death November 25, 1942. Two children of
Hugo and Ethel Schott were baptized March 30, 1913; their namea were:
Lola and Victor, grandchildren of the postmaster.
If Mr. Schott was consulted about the name for the new postoffice,
it-~y well have been named for Worden, Germany. However there is
;nother possiblity: ''Lorenzo J. Worden, born April 13, 1828, in
Stephentown, N.Y. a descendant of Peter Worden of Clayton, England.
Young Lorenzo was educated at Ithaca and Elmira Academies and taught
school for eight years. He secured further education at Alfred
University. On tour-through Virginia and North &amp; South Carolina he
witnessed the violence of slavery, and was determined to come to
Kansas to help make it a Free State. He married Jane E. Wormley,
June 7, l85~ and taught school one year to provide necessary funds to
go to Kansas and participate in the struggle for freedom. They arrived in Lawrence, October 27, 1855. He located on a claim one mile west
of Lawrence, and farmed until 1862, when he entered the office of internal revenue as chief clerk and assistant assessor for the State of
Kansas, which pOSition he retained until 1870. He gained considerable respect in that office, and was elected state senator. He was
made chairman of the committee on assessments and taxation. In 1873
he was appointed postmaster in Lawrence, second largest post office in
the state. He was re-appointed by President Hayes, upon the almost
unanimous petition of the City, in 1877. Mrs. Worden was a woman of
fine intellectual qualification and finished education. Truly it may
be said, never did wvman more devotedly sympathize with her husband,
nor husband more affectionately appreciate the virtues of a good woman
than have Mr. &amp; Mrs. Worden."
Much more has been written of Mr. Worden. In 1868 he purchased a
t section of land just north of the Howard Broylea farm. Let us now
look at the second possiblity of where Worden may have gotten its name.
The fact of Mr. Worden oWlling land in this community, being in the
Postal System, and a man of considerable prominence, would lead us to
believe that, in seeking a name for the new postoffice. they might well
have turned to the Honorable Lorenzo J. Worden, teacher, farmer, abolitionist, assessor, state senatori and postmaster.
''Worden Unincorporated" is only a spot on the map to the traveler's
eye, or to those speeding down Highway 56(20th century Santa Fe Trail).
If they blink their eyes, they may miss it completely! However, to the
neighbors a~d friends of those tw~ places still carrying the.name
Worden, Worden Ag. Service, and Worden United Methodist Church, they
pleasant placea to stop. 'Vorden Unincorporated" will remain on the
map and Jear to the hearts of many, while Echo, Willow Springs, Weaver,
Franklin and countless other "hopeful cities" have disappeared.
The final chapter on where Worden got its name may not yet be written, but at least we now have two possiblities.

THEPRESIDE~T'A;MRSBAGE
As our year draws to a close, and as I complete my term as your president,
we should take stock of our accomplishments as they relate to our goals as a
genealogical society.
First, as to numbers, we have nearly doubled our membership in the past
two years.
With 118 members two years ago, we increased this to 146 'members
last year, and now we stand at 222 members on our rolls.
More important than
numbers
however, are our achievements as a society, and the help we have
provided to individuals and the public generally.
What'we have accomplished
is not the work of anyone person alone, nor is it the work of the board-excellent as it has been.
Our accomplishments are the result of concerted
efforts of the members, each contributing his or her special talent.
A mouthpiece of our organization is, of course, our quarterly, "The
Pioneer," which has been most capably edited by Judy Sweets, assisted by
many contributors.
This is an outstanding publication, one which we proudly
distribute to individuals and societies allover the United States.
Also
widely distributed, and of no less importance, is the quarterly Newsletter,
edited by Jane Wiggins.
This serves as a "bulletin board" of events, both
within and without our Society, which are of interest to the membership.
,
We have had excellent speakers and programs during the pas~ year, among
them our own Dr. Thomas Gorton speaking on "Researching Pennsylvania Records;"
Dr. Robert Hudson from the K.U. Medical Center speaking on "Nineteenth Century
Medicine;" Haskell's Vice President Charles Geboe speaking on "Haskell Junior
College" in this; the year of the Haskell Centennial; Chuck King from Second
Impressions presenting a program on old photographs, entitled "Heritage;"
Mary Burchell, from the ~.U. Law Library, giving US an overview of the
facilities there and describing how these could aid genealogists; and Helen
King from Topeka giving us an evening on "Using Maps in Genealogy."
In
addition, our programs included two panel discussitins in which the panel was
composed of members of our Society:
Donald Vaughn, Judy Sweets, Hugh Stouppe,
Edna Welling, Mary Lou Winchell, and your president.
Our Society was also the
guest of the Topeka Genealogy Society when Attorney General Robert Stephan
spoke on "Vital Statistics Closed to Most," a topic dear to our hearts and
an issue which we have sought to resolve by having Senate Bill 319 become
law.
Thirteen members of our group visited the Legislature in Topeka in
this regard.
On the lighter side, Lawrence Chapman entertained us by playing
the dulcimer, and explaining the instru~~nt and the songs, at our Christmas
dinner.
Other projects this year have included putting the five-generation charts
into book form; continued work on the cemetery book; copying records of
importance to genealogists, including 1875 Douglas County census records,
m.arriage records, and naturalizations; maintaining a booth for two days at
the 1984 "Independence Days," and again for two days at the "Maple Leaf
Festival" in Baldwin.
Special thanks to those who stood in the heat for
the first and in the rain for the second.
In the area of education, I have conducted three sessions, in addition
to the regular meetings, on "Beginning Genealogy" ,at the Lawrence Public
'
Library, and I have spoken on "Why Genealogy'.' to'th'e Eudora Historical
Society and the Osage County Historical Society.
Jane Wiggins has conducted
a monthly mini-workshop for new members, and for those with special research
problems, and these have been most appreciated.
In addition, many of our
members have attended fine area workshops, one of which was that of the
Jefferson County Genealogical Society where we had a table and sold books
and memberships.
The Society was invited to attend the Haskell Centennial Convocation,
and at least a dozen members attended.
Special thanks go to Deanna Miles and Mike Yoder of the Lawrence Journal
World for promotion of our Society and genealogy generally through an article
which appeared on Sunday, September 23, 1984, and to the Lawrence Public
Library and the Douglas County Historical Society for providing space for
our meetings.
'
Genealogy is clearly an activity which exemplifies the old adage, "The
more you put inl:o it the more you get out of it."
The opportunities for
participation in our Society are endless, and I ext~nd my heartfelt thanks
to all of you who attended meetings (monthly, board and comm,ittee); to those
who spent hours on the telephone, or copying records, or planning and thinking;
th~se who recruited new members; who walked miles through brambles, snow and
ra1n for cemetery records; those who,drove their cars, wrote, typed, stapled,
pasted, cut, searched, dug for old records, gave speeches, visited, indexed,
studied, and proofread.
The list goes on, but the rewards are boundless:
FRIENDSHIP, TOGETHERNESS, LAUGHTER, HELPING, ACCOMPLISHMENT, PROGRESS, FUN,
SUCCESS.
Who can put a price on these? '
Sincerely,

I

In thls lssue we feature the territorlal period of Kansas (1854-1861). It was
our plan to gather and compile as many. records of this period as possible.
The Territorial days in Kansas were a time of excitement. confllct and turmoil in
which pro-slavery and free-state factions battled each other. slaves traveled the
"Vnderg:round !iai1road"ln search of a safe haven in one of the "free-state towns"
such as Lawrence. and Indians began leaving for reservations in Oklahoma and
elsewhere as their lands were claimed by white settlers from the East. Thls was
also a time of great hardship for fami11es: homes were burned. husbands murdered. children died from cholera and other diseases and wives cooked and cared for
the scores of newcomers who arrlved in the territory every daY.--And then in 1860
came the famine. This was the last straw for many emigrants who packed their
belongings and lef,t,._~~.!... for those who:remained. there was help from agencies
in the Zast who sent food and'other necessltles until the crisis was past. The
records we publish in \,this lss.ue reflect the good tlmes and the bad. We hope:
they w111 glve olU"rea(lers a ,'Detter inslght into Ufe in Territorlal Kansas.

had free papers except Wilson HAYS and Charles SMITH, who had been employed as
cooks at the Eldridge House in Lawrence and were known to be free m·en. The party'

direction of OStaloosa whe~~ they were overcome by about twenty armed men who
arrested Dr. DOY and imprisoned him in the St. Joseph, MO jail on the charge of
abducting slaves from that state. He was sentenced to the penltentiary for five
years. It was well known that the charges were fal~e. and that Doctor DOY had

buslness whlch has now developed 1.nto the state's greatest lndustry. Mr. wILLEY
remembers the old w1.nd ml11 whlch stood near Lawrence and was operated for some
t1.me by wILDER and PALM. but thls ml11. which it has been claimed was the oldest
ln the state was not bul1t untl1 1859 and burned down ln 1870 and was not rebul1t
The flrst bolted flour. a's far as known. made ln Kansas was that manufactured ln
a ml11 at Blue Mound. f1.ve and a half ml1es southeast of Lawrence. 50 years next
autumn. John w. wILLEY. Sr •• and hls son. John W. WILLEY. Jr •• bul1t the ml1l.
It was a comblnation lnst1.tutlon be1.ng used for a saw ml11 ln whlch materlal for
the houses and other bul1dlngs of the early settlers and the bolted flour were
made. Shingles also were rlved out at the ml11.
The elder WILLEY and hls son left Retreat. Ind •• a little town on the Jefferson
and Ind1.anapolis ral1road about March 1 1857. for Kansas. Twenty days later they
landed in wyandotte and proceedlng at once to Blue Mound. flve and a half ml1es
southeast of Lawrence. bought a cla1.m and plcked out a slte for a ml11 on the
'';akarusa creek. The locatlon was on the farm then owned by Robert IRVIN. The.
father returned to Indlana and seouring the maohlnery for the ml11 shlpped It.as
far as posslble by rall and then loaded lt on a boat for Kansas Clty. where lt

Before this institution. h'owever. there were mills grinding whole wheat flour or
graham flour. One of these was at Leavenworth. where a pair of Frenoh burrs were
used in grinding wheat and corn. The corn then was ground at the rate of 20 to
30 bushels an hour and each customer had to place his grist at the hopper.and
take his meal sacks tothe spot where they were fl1led. People in. those days'

Cousen Charles:
I am now seated beside my old chest on the floor trying to write you a few
lines using the lid to writeuppon not a bad Desk for the country. Some of your
wares would sell here well at good price. The merchants are getting in some
Furniture and it sells like hot cakes. I have slept on the Ground for want of a
bedstead untill within the last three Weeks. I made a rais (1) of a cot bed- .
stead and thought I was in Town sure. I have been l1.veing all about since (I)
camel'1ost of the Time have been teeming ~'Jit Was first rate business in the spring
the Emi~ration WaS very great. Some of the Boats would land three hundred fore .
this part of the Teritory. It Was 45 miles that they had to go by Land after
leaving the boat. I had as good Teem as runs on the rout and I used to get as
many Pasengers as I could Haul evry Time at 12.50 and allmost allways got a load
back.
The Eastern men not being used to New Country. would go as far as Lawrence.
see the Elephant. stay over night and put back 1.n the morn1.ng. I d1.dn't like to
see them go back b,ut was willing to take all the Dimes I could (honorably) out of
them. I made it pay. I didn~t come out for nothing. I am a going to make fair
i~est on my package money at least.
I now have sold out the Team and gon over
across the R1.ver amongst the Indians. Have rented the same Land that was Fenced
and well cultivated. Everyting is up to the highest notch. Corn is worth $2".
per bushel. Potatoes 'can't be had. I calculate to rais one thousand bushel corn
_____ potatoes. I can't stop to write much now. I must go to work. It looked
like rain but has cleared off now.
'
t

I

I would like to write' all I know about the Teritory and will next Time- the
news are scarce now-l suppose When our Missouri Legislature assemble, there will
be some-l expect that they will have a great Time-I suppose you have heard what a
Time we had at the Election-the Red Mouths carraid evrything and expect to do as
they choos. I don't know but they may-that remains to be seen. I will send you
the papers that you can know what is agoing on heare but you will have to make a
liberal allowance for what you read-I sent you one Paper-must write whether you
received or not-I am getting tired and must close.
Please except these few imperfect lines.
From your affectionate Cousen.

DIVORCES in TERRITORIAL KANSAS
by Judy Metcalf Sweets
The Douglas County Divorce records like other records of the
Territorial period are widely scattered. It would seem that one
would have the greatest success in finding divorces of that period
'at the, county 'levei.~However, our search at the county courthouse
yielded only two divo~ces for the period' before 1861. These were
found in Journal A in ;the probate court at the Judicial and Law ,
Enforcement Center in:Lawrence. It 1s possible 'that others were)

But. surprisingly the largest number of TerrItorial divorces we "
located were in ~he Legisiati veJburnais of the Tetri torial period.•
_These Jo~nals, ~sually enti tIed i'PrIvate Laws of Ka.nsas", can
be seen at the Urltvers-1-tY_J)f Kansas Law Library and at the Kansas
Stiit'e, 'B;1rs,tbr'ical Society .~~' '-.=~, , iIn an article written by Cecil Howes of the Kansas ~ Star, Oct
), 1942, he wrote: "It may surprise Kansans to know that Kansas
Terri torialilie,gtslatures granted divorces. Since Kansas became a
state, the district courts have had exclusive jurisdiction over'
divorces. But it was not always thus. In 1855, when the first
legislature met, it passed a law fixing the causes for divorce
and directed, in Chapter' 62. that any court of chancery shall have
jurisdiction in divorce and alimony." "The courts corresponded to
-the present distri"ct',courts in ·Kans'asand the' clrcuit courts in
Missouri ."

The Le;glslatI:ve . .Assembly of the T~rritory ,of Kansas in 1859 outlined
the causes for divorce-;as:

When the defendant at '~he tim,e of his marriage was impotent.
When he had a lawful- ,wife then 11 ving •
When he has committed adultery subs~qqent to the marriage.
When he Willfully deserts his wife and absents himself without
reasonable cause for the space of one year.
5. When after marriage he becomes addicted to habitual drunkenness.,
6. When he 1s guilty of such inhuman treatment as to endanger the
life of his wire..

According to 1'1r. Howes. nThere were seventy-f1 ve d1 vorces granted
by the terr1torial legls1atures of 1858.1859. 1860 and 1861. The
practlce s:topped when Kansas became a state." He stated. "Forty
divorces were authorized in 1860. ln a slng1e sess10n. almost onehalf the total for the four legislatures" ••• "A blll was lntroduced,
referred to one branch or the other of the leglslature with recommendation that it be passed. The bill became a prlvate law and
an actual divorce decree." A separate legislatuve b1ll was requlred
for each divorce. They are not to be found 1n the statute books but
as private laws.
It seems the granting of d1vorces by the leglslature may have been
somewhat of a racket or scandal. Sol Miller, ed1tor of the White
Cloud Kansas Chlef, took notice of the legislation just after the
close of the 1860 sessl0Ji:l_of. the Terri t-or1al legislature. M1ller
wrote:

how many and what_uiarr1ed-persons 1n the territory were not d1vorced- in the late

Mr. ·A. R1chardson ;-- a.u~hor-- of Beyond the Missl ssippl it!' :~8'67 described
on page 147 &amp; 148.tlle e~§e of gettlng a divorce 1n terr1toria1

"Pract1cally anyone asking for a d1vorce could obta1n 1t and 1n every Case both
parties were author1zed to marry aga1n." ••• "I rece1ved a letter from a cit1zen of
Massachusetts~ ask1ng-=wh'e-ther-h1s wife, who was _sp.end1ng the w1nter in Law.renee,
passed by her ma1den or wedded. name, and whether she had app11ed for d1vorce.
Upon examining the· statutes, I learned that she had been divorced for more than
' --==--_ _---'--_ _ __
L s1x months."

One other source of div9rce 1nformation 1s the newspapers of the
terr1torial period-"- __~t!S&gt;se dlvorce petitions that were filed in
th~ '.District court--w-ex-e-_or-ten~'''pul;&gt;::l!l·sheacAl.nvth~ local newspapers.
'The names of those persons who petitioned the legislature
for a d1vorce were generally published as well ,and some "of. them'
appeared on the front page of the earlyLaw~ence newspapers.
Following are theterrrt"o·rt-al divorces and name changes which we
have gathered from the various sources mentioned above. County
of residence is unknown unless so indicated. It is hoped that in
the future add1t10nal divorce records w1ll come to light. We would
appreclate be1ng informed of any divorce actions which we overlooked for the terrltorl-a-l per19d in Kansas.

Topeka we read an unpublished inventory of Douglas Co. records which was done in
the 1930' s by the Works Progress Administration. To __ oar surprise this inventory
stated that declarations of intention for the year 1856-1857 were to be found in
a volume called "Journal A- in the oounty courthouse. Returning to Lawrence, we
searched for this volume and found it not in the District Court office where the
, other Declarations and Petitions are kept but in the Probate court office. All
i thirty four declarations of intentions were copied and are included in this issue.

!

I National
QUite unexpectedly, While looking through the territorial court records at the
Archives-Kansas City Branch, we found many Declarations of Intention
I

for the years, 1855-1858 in the record~books of Judicial District One and Two
for Kansas Territory. (These,were nDp~ed~ are included in this issue).

The "Old" First Judicial District, established in November of 1854 included
Douglas, Doniphan, Atchison. Leavenworth. Jefferson and Calhoun (now Jackson)
oounties. Douglas County became part of JudiCial District Tio as of February
26, 1855 when the Second Jud101al D1striots were def1ned as including election
d1stricts. 1. 2. 3; 4. 5. 6 and 17. (See map below) .,~he court was held at
Teoumseh with Hon. Rush Elmore pres1d1118.

Dear 51.r:
In an art1.cle 1.n the Lawrence nepubl1.can of the 7th 1.nstatlt. headed. "Br1.dg-e
Destroyed". 1.t seems that your reporter has been mis1.nformed relat1.ve to the
facts 1.n the case. It 1.s stated that "the br1.dge (north of Bloom1.ngton) 1.s a
total wreck." 'i'hat 1.s a m1.stake. The br1.dge was 248 feet long. hav1.ng n1.ne
abutments. Three of these are on the south side of the Wakarusa. supporting
sixty feet of superstructure. and the remain1.ng six are on the north side of the
stream supporting 108 feet of super structure. Each of these port1.ons are in
excellent cond1.t1.on. and equal to any we1.ght 11.kely to pass over any road in
Kansas. The part broken down 1.s the 80 feet span over the stream. and that 1.s not
a "total loss". two thirds i.f not three-fourths of the mater1.al. such as flooring.
joist or stringers. bolts. etc. having been carelully separated·and taken· care· of
1.n such a manner as to make them answer the same purpose again. The br1.dge was
1.mperfect. as is stated. be1.ng lower on our side than on the other. However. that
Was not the cause of its giving away. One of the It 1.nch iron bolts broke on the
side that was pronounced to be all rt~ht. The rod Was examined after the fall.
and found to have a flaw. leaving only half inch in thickness of good iron.
In regarci. to the bridge hav1.ng "cost the county some ~1.200". that is also an
error. The great necessity of a bridge on the road from Bloom1.ngton to Lecompton
1.nduced many c1.tizens to subscr1.be for that purpose. When the list was presented
to me. I noticed that it was headed by some bery liberal subscriptions. William
JESSEE 'lIas down ~150~.Qliver BARBER $50; the rest were all smaller. none to exceel1 ~25. 'rhe',amoUnt subscribed for this public improvement Was about ~500. and
Was expended on the bridge--hardly half building 1.t. Subsequently. the county
(as it had done in other cases) appropriated ~400in county orders. which unfortunately were-orilty avall.aO.l.e at; aOout;-slitCt;y~c~'ht;-s-on-tt1e-doliar. and. therefore
amount1.ng v1.rtually only to ~240. The bridge was finished by additional a1.d.
pr1.ncipally. however. com1,ng (~om WilHam JESSEE'. ·who has appropriated more of h1. s
pr1.vate means to the-accompl1.shment of this enterprise than was given by the
county. \fr:t will now req u1.re about 'w20 0 to place the fallen span baCk 1.n a strtlm~.
substant1.al and workmanHke manner. Hop1.ng that you w1.11 please make the__ :·::_-_-:~I;-;f!--:;i).
necessary corrections 1.n this matter. I remain.
'"
1,_
"

Respectfully yours.
F.n; BEl'iKAU
-Reply: vre are obliged to Mr. BE.~AU for h1.s correct1.ons and hope the comparatively
small amount necessary to repair the bridge will be immediately raised.
and the br1.dge restored.--Editor. iiEPUBLICAN."
Note: 'rhe William JESSEE ment1.oned as be1.ng a Hberal subscriber for the
bridge :'l9.S the founder of BLOONINGTON on whose property the bridge was bunt
on the 'tiakarusa. It was believed that he and his two daughters 'Here st1.11
buried beneath the parking lot at Clinton Lake. 'tl1.thin the past year it has
been discovered that the bod1.es of all three had been removed from the
Eloom1.ngton Cemetery to Oak Hill Ce~emtery 1.n Lawrence 1.n the year 1870.

COFFEE SUBSITUTE.
Kansas pioneers had to make do with what they had. When no
coffee beans were available with which to make their morning
coffee, they used substi tutes such as okra, browned wheat·,
sweet potatoes and even corn. Below we.give a recipe whIch
was-actuaYlyused by~the'-parents of C.M. Eliis when they homesteaded in Chautauqua Co. in the 1870's.
This reCipe was
printed in an article by Cecil Howes in the Kansas City Times,
13 IVlay 1942.

/

"Parch or brown field corn in a heavy skillet, stirring
it won't burn, then pour sorgham over it (about the
. ;same amount as for popcorn balls) and heat over fireplace
coals stirring all the time until sorgham has been
,absorbed. Grind the mixture and make coffee."

a

When our subje€t was littIe-less thaI?- sixteen
:, years of age he went with his parents to Missouri, "
'and in 1871, when they came to Kansas, he
!settled in northern Missouri, on the border of
IIowa. However, the following year he settled on.:
a rented farm in Palmyra Township, Douglas:
:County, and this place he operated until, by I
: carefully saving his earnings, he was able to buy:
'a home of his own. In 1884 he bought· the I
place where he has since engaged in farming and '
·' dealing in stock, making a specialty " of raising
I Hereford cattle.
The success that he has at-·
itained proves him to be a man of energy and per- ,
: severance. Everything connected with agricul- I
: ture is of interest to him and, at the organization :
' of the Grange, he became identified with it. He'
is a .stockholder in a grain business at Overbrook,
Kans.
In the locallodgeoftheAncient Order of United
(WOrkll!en Mr. Weimer has held th~ highest of- ~
flces. The Democratic partY' always receives his'.
I support, for its principles represent his ideas as to
! national government. . During his connection
with the school board he served as its clerk. For
six years he was a constable in Marion Township.
November 20, 1879, he married Clemmie, daughter of John and Barbara (Anderson) Bailey.;
They have six children: Guy, Lutie, Ethel, Jay, ,
Earl and Mabel.

!.

raiser of Marion Town;Wp, Douglas County, .
was born in Preble County, Ohio, in 1850. i
He is a descendant of Joseph Weimer, a native of~
Germany, who emigrated to Pennsylvania, set-'
tHng near Harrisburg.
He was one of the
organizers of the Dunkard Church in that locality. i
I At the great age of one hundred and e1everiyears
l
: h~ diedJn Darke County, Ohio. His son Michael, ~
: who was born in Pennsylvania, took up land 1"til
'Randolph County, Ind., where Union City now I
I
stands. Afterward he made his home in Preble I
County, Ohio, where he carried on a grist mill
,and engaged successfully in farming for many
years. For some time he served as a deacon in
the Dunkard Church, in which organization he·:
was active.
I
Daniel, son of Michael Weimer, and father of'
our subject, w~s born in Darke County, Ohio,;
and resided there until 1866, when he moved to' I
Jackson County, Mo. In 1871 he came to Kan-!
sas, settling in Palmyra Township, Douglas Coun-:
ty, where he spent the remainder of his life.
skilled mechanic, he followed the trades of car-I
penter and painter, which he had learned in Day'- :
ton, Ohio, and in which he was considered an ex-I,
pert. Like his forefathers, he worshiped with the \
Dunkards and took an active part in their
labors. He died in:1879, a(fifty-six years of age.
His wife, who bore the maiden name of Martha;
, Alexander, was born in Ohio and died in Kansas;
in 1895, at sixty-three years of age. They were:
, the parents of four children: James H.; Sarah E.,
who is the wife of E. B. Kincaid; Noah S. and
Maggie A., both of whom live in Palmyra Town_~hip.

Journal, Lawrence. Kansas. June 13, 1884, p. 3 Col 2

"Yesterday mornlng there was qulte a stlr ln and about the
probate court room, caused by Marshal Prentlce puttlng ln an
appearance and ~topplng the marrlage of a couple from Baldwln Clty.
It seems that Walter SCOTT, the son of a wealthy farmer ln
Falmyra townshlp. was very naturally averse to havlng hls parents
- settle the qu~otlon of whom he should marry. He attempted to run
away once before wl th Mlss Etta FINNEY, the glrl of hls cholti:e, but
the old gentleman put a stop to It. He apparently gave up the ldea
of acceptlng any glrl but the one hls father deslred.
But Wednesday nlght the whole scheme was knocked hlgher thap a
klte. In the nelghborhood where they 11ve, about flve ml1es south
of Baldwln, was held at the school house a strawberry festlval.
Walter took the glrl of his parent's choice there. But Mlss FINNEY
was also there, and she bestowed on Walter that same sml1e that to
hlm was worth more than all the sweetness of the tables laden with
fruit. He longed to be wlth her above all others, and the deslre
being mutual they soon drlfted together and had arranged for a 11ttle
rlde where they mlght tell each other of the troubles that beset lovers
where the old folks do not approve, and the fire of love that burned
wlthln them and would not be quenched. They took the rlde. but were
followed very soon by the other girl and her frlends. Walter's
horses were the fleetest and he was soon out of reach of his pursuers.
When he and Etta returned to the school house they found that the other
company had gone home. and both knew that the very old Nick would be
to pay. Resolvlng that they may as well suffer for a sheep as a lamb.
the lovers concluded to take the team and drlve to Lawrence and get
married. They arrl ved here about 4 0' clock and put up at the Place
Ihouse where they sat ln the parlor and chatted untll breakfast tlme.
After breakfast the parties started out to get a llcense, and
after golng down to the court house they at last succeeded in flndlng
Judge Foote and were getting ready to have the important knot tied
when the marshal put in an appearance and sent the glrl to a hotel
and took the boy with hlm.
When Mr. SCOTT arrlved he at flrst consented but at last took lt
back and left for hls home leaving the gartles here. The people ln
the nelghborhood where they live were hunting for them most of the
night. and thelr friends were glven a great scare.
Sullivan. the lrrepresslble. took a great lnterest ln them, and
it is reported that, actlng under hls advice, they left for Topeka
·last evennl.g-~here they will be marrled today."

between the Kansas and wakarusa r1vers, on a slope r1s1ng gently from the
valley reaohing from stream to stream, was onoe the town of Franklin, Douglas
County, KS, four miles east of Lawrenoe.

The town-site. seleoted in Ootober 1853 was on the olaim of one. Lewis B. WALLACE.
a strong pro-slavery man. Direotly north from Blue Mound a semioirole of timber
stretohing along the bankS of the two streams between whioh it lay. the fertility
of the soil yielding from 25 to 100 bushels of oorn an aore. all tended to make
this site desirable for the looation of a town.
The old California road leading from westport. MO •• thirty-e1ght miles east.
aoross the wakarusa at Bluejaoket's ford. formed the main street of the town. and
extended west through Lawrenoe and Leoompton.
Three WALLACE boys: Lewis. Clark and John. and Jeremiah CHURCH. popularly known as
"Jerry". a Virginian. and celebrated somewhat as a violinist. were the prinoiple
founders of the town. It was named for the grandson of CHURCH. Franklin HULL.
infant son of Dr. HULL and Mrs. HULL. daughter of CHUB.CH.
It was founded as a pro-slavery town, a rival of Lawrenoe. a free-state strone
hold. No buildings were ereoted. or other improvements made until the year 1854.
In June of that year, immediately after the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska bill.
building began. and soon there were several' houses. among whioh was a blook-house.
ereoted for the keeping of militar.y supplies for the border ruffians from the
border oounties of Missouri. who were fast flooking to Kansas, tog3ther with
foroes from other southern states. with the intent of making Kansas a slave state.
Many from Illinois. PennsylVania and other northern states settled in and near
Franklin. who wished Kansas to be a free state.

I

There were two battles in Franklin. The first was on June 2. 1856. the seoond on
August 12. the same year. These battles were a part of what was known as the
Wakarusa war. whioh began over the killing of a man south of Lawrenoe. in the
latter part of 1855 •• .0.5. HOYT.
In the spring of 1857, hostilities apparently at an end. Franklin took a fresh
start and grew in population. buildings and business. The town was inoorporated.
Dr. R.L. WILLIAMS. who oame to the town from Illinois. and who afterwards served
as a delegate from Douglas oounty. to the Wyandotte oonvention. ereoted a storyand a half stone store building and plaoed a stook of merohandise therein. A
steam saw-mill. eighteen horse-power. in operation and turning out 5,000 feet of
lumber a day. also paS3ed into the hands of Mr. WILLIAMS.~~t. this. time there
were about forty buildings in the town. and more in oontemplation of being ereoted
A stage line from Westpor~~leadin~west. and one from Leavenworth to LeRoy. oounty
seat of Coffey oounty. passed through Franklin ••• "
A two-story frame hotel was operated by Samuel CRANE, a land offioe was established by one of the WALLACE boys. and one of them had a store ••• The population
numbered about 400.
" •••Thomas FEBRELL and Baxter DENNIS were among the preaohers who ministered to
the spiritual needs of the oit1zens, and Pasohal FISH of the Shawnee~ tr1be of
Ind1ans oooas10nally preaohed a sermon there ••• "
J .C. WALTON, ••• 1'I1ss Hattie GRJ:SWOLD~, .....and John C. BRIGGS ••• were among the teaohers
of those early days. Among the 01tizens of Frank11n were the HEBRINGTON boys,
••• Dr. James STILL •• .Dr. R.L. WILLIAMS. In the v101nity of Franklin were the
KENNEDY's the EGGERT's, McFARLAND and GARVIN fami11es,and a host of other good and
true oitizens who served their day and generat10n;
For several years the town oont1nued to live, but gradually the people moved to
other plaoes. the bu1ldings were torn down, or moved to other plaoes. or abandoned. Some of the houses were moved to Lawrenoe, among wh10h was the hotel,
onoe known as the Plaoe house of New Hamps~1re Street. The sawm1l1 was moved to
Jefferson oounty. on Mud oreedk and was operated there for many years by Dr.
WILLIAMS. "The, post. off10e Was disoont1nued 1n Novermber, 1867. The townsite
passed 1nto the hands of Dr. WILLIAMS and was operated by b1m for many years as
a farm. About f1fteen years ago the stone house was torn down. The basement and
foundation of the old struoture, over wh10h there stands a commodious and oomfortable frame dwelling, 1s the only vest1ge remain1ng of the onoe prosperous and
lively town."

Fountain C. TOMBERLIN. being duly sworn. saith: I reside on Section 11 •.
township 15. range 19 east; have resided there five years next June; am acquainted with petitioner: he now lives in Lydins county. In 1856 petltioner
resided on a claim wlth his faml1y about one mile south of my claim: he moved
there in the fall of 1854. he was a farmer. In relation to petltioner having
sustained loss by the difficulties. I know that he had the property. and that
it was taken or gone by some means or other. I was frequently at petitioner's
house while he was a neighbor. In June or July. 1856. CHAPMAN was obliged to
leave the Territory with his family for personal safety. He was threatened by
the Free-State men. and deemed it safer to absent himself. CHAPMAN was understood to belong to the opposite party. During that season the same species of
terrorism and driaing out of settlers was exeroised by both parties alternately
as they happened to have the physical poser or control over the vicinity. CHAPMAN left in a hurry. leaving his property in care of August KROUSE. nOw living
at Centropolis. I know. from observation before CHAPMAN went away. that he had
·in his house good household furniture. such as chairs. beddlng. furnlture. and
cooking-stove. &amp;c •• viz: as near as I can recollect. 1 stove and apparatus for
cooklng. $)0: 1 sprlng-seat rocklng ohalr. $10: common one. $3; sltting chairs.

Maokinaw blankets; home-made blankets. twilled; 4 or 5 qul1ts and bed-oovers:
know nothlng of shetts and pl110ws; had a large ohest and trunk. $4; can't say
anything about gentlemen's or women's clothing. He had medicines. don't know
their value. with glasses. jars. &amp;c.: don't know partlculars. He had medical
books. forty or fifty books of all kinds. histories. &amp;0.; flat-lrons: 2 lron
wedges: chopplng axes. $1.50; 1 large tea salver. Had neat chlnaware. $15 or
$20: knives and forks. don't know how many: spoons: meal ohest. $2 or $3: palls
and buckets. and such things. I saw harness and swlngletrees there after he
left. worth $25; 1 lot of potatoes; had a fine crop of potatoes. His potatoes
were ln two patches. equal. together. to a quarter of .an acre. probably more.
worth $50. He had elght aores of corn growing ln the field. worth $10 an aore:
a patch of beans growing. can't say how muoh. worth $20: vegetable garden.
worth $50. He had a fenoe. and I know it was gone. about forty rods; the proportion taken or gone lias worth i30. Don't know how many chl okens. he had as
many as 300. worth &amp;2 per dozen. Had grapevines. an acre or an acre and a half.
set out that spring. :1856. and were growing; in the fall I saw three of them

rloor I ) sets of abstetr10al. supporters. Dld not see the r1fle gun after he
went away. Dld not see him when he left. He went away ln a hurry. afra1d he
would be murdered or damaged. His near neighbors advised him to leave. as his
life was in danger; I considered it so: not by any of his near neighbors. but
from others was the danger. Don't know that he took any of the property away
with him. In the fall of 1856 I saw the harness in possesslon of Amos MOORE. who
resides about a mile from me. Never saw any of the property afterwards. The
oorn WaS destroyed by stock and bodies of armed men. Potatoes made use of by
indivldua1s--dug out of the ground. Don't know that Mr. KROUSE ever took away
any of the property. The house WaS broken open and the property taken in September. 1856.

... Lawrence Republican, Sept. 11, 1862
DIED
In Lawrence, Sept. 4, 1862 of congestion of the brain, John L. BRONSON,
in the thirty first year of his age.
The deceased was born in Baltimore but his parents soon after removed
to Fall River, Mass. in 1~48(?). He came west with his brother, and spent
over two years in Illinois, Iowa and other points on the Mississippi. He
then returned to Fall River and went into business. In 1853 he went to
California where he spent three years. He returned during the time, however,
and married; his wife going back with him. On their journey out, a railroad
accidentoccured on the Isthmus in which fourteen cars were broken to pieces'
and many lives lost but they were spared without serious injury. On their
return he was seized with the smallpox on board the steamer, and after
landing, was left for two weeks at Panama.', In 1857 he came to Kansas where
he and his family have dwelt ever since. He·was just building a very substantial and commodious dwelling,and had moved into the finished portion
of it three days before he died. One sows and.another reaps. He attended
church, as usual, Sunday morning was taken with congestive chills Honday
afternoon. And died Thursday evening 'at 9 1/2 o'clock. He was active and
untiring in his labors, clear in his calculations, and kind and affectionate
in his disposition. He will be missed and mourne~ by all who knew him and

PLYMOUTH CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH
Picture from A Souvenir Historv of Lawrence, Kansas. 1898

pllbli~hed

by E.F. Caldwell

In September, 1854, Rev. S.Y. LUM, of
New York, was sent out as a missionary to Kansas,- by the Home Missionary Society. Arriving
in Lawrence, he immediately commenced his
work, preaching his first sermon October 1,
1854. The services were held in the "Pioneer
Boarding House"-the only available building
at that time . . After holding several meetings,
an organization was perfected by him, including the following members: S~Y. LUM, Charles
DICKSON, O.A. HANSCOM, O. HARLOW, L. LITCHFIELD
and wife, S.C. POMEROY, Carrie R. LUM, Anna
TAPPAN. The organization was named the
"Plymouth Church," from the fact that the
circumstances and aims of its founders, who
were principally from New England, so nearly
resembled those of the Plymouth Pilgrims.

Services were held in the "Pioneer Boarding House" for a short time, when
the rough board building, called "the church," was completed. During. the winter,
the building was destroyed by fire. In March, 1855, the church commenced holding
meetings in the St. Nicholas Hotel. Services were held here until a room was
provided in the upper story of a frame building on Massachusets.street. In the
autumn of 1855, they were compelled to relinquish the room for the use of the
citizen soldiery. In the sUmIner of 1856, they moved into the "Emigrant Aid
Building," which they occupied through the fall and winter, and later, a few
weeks,the Unitarian Church. In the spring of 1856, the erection of a church
edifice.was commenced, and the building partially completed in the spring of the
year following, and services held in it. The building was finally completed in
1862. The structure is 40x65 feet, and built of limestone.
Rev. S.Y. LUM officiated as pastor till the spring .of 1857, when he was
succeeded in December of the same year, by Rev. D. CORDLEY. For eighteen years,
Mr. CORDLEY had charge of the church, and was succeeded in May, 1876, by Rev. L.W.
SPRING. Mr. SPRING remained till October, 1881, and was succeeded by the present
incumbent, Rev. G. Hale SCOTT.
In 1868, the church having progressed so rapidly, it was found necessary to
erect a new edifice. This structure, one of the largest and finest buildings
of its kind in the State, is constructed of brick, and is 60xl14 feet. The
total cost, including a $4,000 pipe organ, was $40,000. Present membership, 318.

HORRIBLE MURDER!
Midnight Attack on the House of Jos. Gardner

(' -v\

(

)

On last Friday night, about midnight, the house of Mr. Joseph GARDNER-one of the most respected citizens of this county, living on Washington
Creek--was attacked by a gang of armed assassins, who attempted to enter
the house and murder its inmates. Mr. GARDNER and his family bravely defended themselves, and a colored man working for Mr. GARDNER, named Napoleon
SIMPSON, going to the door during the attack, was fatally wounded, so that
he died in less than an hour. Volley after volley was fired in at the
windows, and it was only by a miracle that more of the inmates were not
murdered. Mr. GARDNER is a quiet man, very highly esteemed by the community
at large, and knows of no cause of enmity against him, except that he is a
radical anti-slavery man, and never betrays the fleeing fugitive. It is
supposed that the attack must have been made by a gang of wretches who are
prowling about the Territory, stealing horses, kidnapping colored people,
and committing like crimes. Those who think that the battle with the slave
power is fought and won, on the soil of Kansas, will see that it is only
just begun!

We publish below the testimony taken before the coroner, in accordance
with which a verdict was found that deceased came to his death at the hands
of persons unknown:
Joseph GARDNER, being duly sworn, testified as follows: A few
minutes before one o'clock a.m. on the morning of June 9, 1860,
three or more men, to me unknown, came to my house and attempted
to force an entrance. To the question, "Who is there?" the reply
was, "Open the door, sir." "What do you want?" was answered with
the expression, "G-d D--m you, open the door!" The door was then
opened, and I immediately discharged my revolver at a person
standing nearby, supposed to be the one who had been talking to me.
My shot was promptly answered, and as promptly repeated on my part.
Again my shot was responded .to. But my third shot receiving no
answer, I shut the door and went to a window, through which I discharged a shot at a man who was passing. This shot was very
promptly answered by another man, at the side of the window. At
the same moment, a heavy discharge of bird and buckshot came in
at the other window, on the opposite side of the house. I then
took my Sharp's rifle, with which I shot several times at two
different men I saw retreating on horseback. On passing a window,
a discharge of buckshot, twelve in number, was aimed at me, and
lodged in the wall of my house, but a short distance from the bed in
which my wife and two youngest children were. While I was thus
engaged' in the defense of my self and home, my son, Theodore and a
man in my employment by the name of Napoleon SIMPSON, were also
engaged in the defense--each discharging several shots. Two shots
were fired at my son, and one at Napoleon SIMPSON, which took
effect in his left breast, when he fell to the floor, and died in
about forty-five minutes.

Jos. GARDNER Con't:
Question-- Did you see anyone that you could recognize in the future?
Answer-- No.
Q. Was anything found about the premises that,would tend to implicate
any person? A. Nothing positive; but there were a few things that make up
strong circumstantial evidence.
Q. Have you those things in your possession? A. Yes.
Mrs. Sarah GARDNER, being duly sworn, testified as follows: A few
minutes before one o'clock, on the morning of the 9th inst., I was awakened
by the dogs making a noise. My husband got out of bed and ~vent to the door,
and asked, "Who is there?" Their reply.was, "Open the door, sir." My
husband then asked, "What do you want?" The reply was, "G-d d-m you, "open
the door!" in a very stern voice. The door was then opened and my husband
then fired. Five different. shots were exchanged at the door. My husband
then closed the door and went to a window, through which he discharged
another shot from his revolver. A shot was fired in at the south window,
which set fire to some cotton fabric under the same, which I immediately
extinguished. My husband and Napoleon SIMPSON both went upstairs. About
this time, I saw a man pass the north window, when I called to them to come
down. Just after they came down, a heavy discharge of buckshot came in at
the north window, from the direction. I saw the man. The shot lodged in the
lining of the room, near the foot of my bed. My husband and Napoleon
SIMPSON both fired from the north window. Napoleon SIMPSON then opened the
door. and discharged a shot from the same, in a few seconds after which a
shot was made, and he, the said Napoleon SIMPSON, fell to the floor, exclaiming, "Now, who did that?" He lived only about three-quarters of an
hour after he fell.

Mr. Theodore GARDNER, being duly sworn, testified as follows:
Q. Where were you on the first alarm? A. Upstairs, in bed.
Q. What did you first hear? A. The first word .1 heard spoken was,
"What do you want?" I think it was by my father. The next I heard was a
man, unknown to me, reply, "Open the door, G-d d-m you!" I next heard
shooting. I saw one man, soon after the shooting at the door, leading a
horse a short distance from the house, going northwest. He did not shoot
while I saw him. I do .not know whether he had gun. This affray took place
between twelve and one o'clock on Saturday morning, June 9th. "I do not
think the affray lasted more than ten minutes. I heard a heavy shot, and
immediately afterwards I heard Napoleon SIMPSON exclaim, "0 Lord!" who did
that?" After he fell, I heard him.say, "Fight!· Fight hard!" I saw him
lying on the floor upon his face. I heard no more shooting after he fell,
by anyone outside. I do not know how long he lived, for I left soon after
for assistance.
Q. Did you see more than one man during this affray? A. Not positively.
Q. Would you recognize the man you saw? A. No.

Jos. GARDNER con't:
Miss Mary W. GARDNER, being duly sworn, testified:
Q. Where were you at the time this affray took place? A. Upstairs,
in bed.
Q. What did you first hear? A. The barking of dogs.
Q. At what time was this attack made? A.About one o'clock a.m.
on the morning June 9th, 1860.
Q. Did you hear any conversation at the door? A. I heard my father
ask, "Who is there?" The reply was, "Open the door, sir." My father then
asked, "What do you want?" The answer was, with an oath, "Open the door!"
Q. What next occurred? A. I heard the door opened, and several shots
followed, in quick succession.
Q. Did you see any person during this time? A.. No.
Q. About how long did the affray last? A. About ten minutes.
Q. Did you remain upstairs all the time. A. Yes.
Q. Did you hear or do you know anything in relation to the matter of
the death of Napoleon SIMPSON? A. I heard the door opened, and some shooting soon after. I heard sometliing fall heavily upon. the floor, and at the
same time I heard his voice exclaim. "0 Lord!" now who did that?" I afterwards heard groans, which I was confident proceeded from him.
Q. Did you see him before he died, after the affray? A. No, when I
first saw him he was dead, lying upon the floor.
Q. Were there any shots fired through the room where you were? A. None
that I know of.
Dr. E.G. MACY, after being duly sworn, testified as follows: On the
morning of the 9th of June, 1860, I and Dr. THOMPSON went to the house of
Joseph GARDNER. As we went into the house we saw the dead body of Napoleon
SIMPSON, lying upon the floor, on his left side and abdomen, face down, his
shirt and sheet upon which he lay all covered with blood. After several of
our neighbors had gathered, I and some of them washed and dressed him. By.
moving the clothing that was under and upon him, we saw several pools of
clotted or coagulated blood upon the floor. In turning him over, we saw a
wound upon his body, consisting of two holes, each three-quarters of an
inch in diameter, one inch apart, entering the body at the left superior
portion of the thorax or chest--one hole or orifice below the clavicle or
collar bone, the other orifice or hole immediately upon the bone, showing
very evidently that the wounds were made by buckshot, discharged from a gun,
forcing their way toward the lower and outer edge of the scapula or shoulder
blade of the left side, some three or four of them passing out of the body
on the left Side, just under the left arm; some two or three more balls of
shots, were nearly;'through. I' cut. one of them out--it was of the largest
size buckshot. His left shoulder was literally shot to atoms. Dr. THOMPSON
picked up from the floor two or three small pieces of bone that had fallen
out of the wounds. These wounds were the cause of his death.
Q. Are you a physician? A. 1. am.
Q. Did you see anything at Mr. GARDNER's house implicating any person?
A. I saw scraps or fragments of. paper scatted upon the floor between the
left window and stair-casing, indicating as though they had been shot from
a gun; they were powder-burns. When the fragments were arranged as the
pieces indicated or fitted, it read as I have shown you.

LETTER FROM MR. GARDNER
Mr. Editor: In compliance with 'your request, to submit for the readers
of your paper a statement, in connection with the testimony elicited at the
coroner's inquest, held at my house, upon the dead body of Napoleon SIMPSON,
as to the probable cause of such an attack, I say that I know of no cause,
only that I have established the.reputation of hostility to slavery. What
have I ever done to warrant such conduct7 The first thing that ever brought
my name into.public notice.was my connection in July last, with the rescue
of Dr. DOY? from his unjust imprisonment in St. Joseph, Mo. The circum~ .
stances connected with this case are too well known ,in this community to
require restipulation in this connection. In addition to this, I have, in
connection with many others of our citizens, taken sides in the great dispute that is convulsing this nation from one extreme to the other. On one
side we see the weak, the poor, the ignorant, contending for their liberty
against the strong, the rich and powerful. There comes to my. door one of
the former, asking for food and shelter and protection. My nature tells me
to give him aid 'and comfort. ' I f a man is passing my house with a thousand
dollars in his pocket, and I, know that a.short distance beyond, a company
of highwaymen are in ambush, intending to rob' him of his treasure, it is my
duty to inform him of his danger, and render him assistance. All good men
would hold me responsible if I did not. If, in place of the supposed
treasure, the traveler has himself, as it were, in his pocket, and I know
the hunters to be upon his track, it is my duty to put him upon his guard,
and, in the same .por,portion as "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness"
is more than the thousand dollars ,just so much more is the duty binding
upon me to render him the necessary assistance. This proposition is so
plain to my mind, that I know not how to attempt a demonstration. In fact,
it is an axiom. And it is for holding these sentiments, and daring to
express them, that I am thus hunted down .by midnight assassins. I know
this to be the case from the 'fact that men in this vicinity, who are on
friendly terms with me on other matters, are giving encouragement to this
movement. One man, whom I helped to place in official position in this
county, under the impression that he·had a soul, now says that he has about
as much respect for those men who made the attack upon my house as he has
for me. Others have said that they wished it had been me, instead of
SIMPSON, who got shot. And this is very evident, for he had been sold
but a short' time ago for$I,500, to a slave trader who had bought him for
a southern market. This is the reason why he left the home of his childhood. He had made his escape to a land of safety, but returned to rescue
his wife and children from the prison house of slavery, thus establishing
his bravery as well as his affection for his family. While he was lying
upon my floor, weltering in his blood, I asked what I could do for him.
The only reply he made was, "Fightf Fight hard!" Talk about the expressions of great generals on the field of battle. A braver man never bled
or died, not fought in a better cause than that same Napoleon SIMPSON.
It is said by some of my neighbors that I can no longer live in this
county. They mistake their man, if they suppose they can frighten me by
any such threats. Never, while' I have an existence on this earth, will
I ask any man where I shall live, or what I shall say: or do. I have a
family, who are dependent upon.my exertions, to a considerable extent, for
the means of subsistence. While I am unmolested, their comfort is my only
study. If the cause in which I feel so deep an interest has friends enough

�31
Jos. GARDNER con't:
in this vicinity to sustain ourselves, joining hands with me for mutual
protection and self-defense, it is all well enough. When you hear of this
point being taken or surrendered " count· me and many valued friends among
those who have gone from works to rewards.
If this attack had endangered no one but myself, I should feel vastly
different. . But when it comes to discharging shot promiscuously into a
house occupied by innocent women and harmless children, it is too much for
our nature to withstand. I may not live to see an end of American slavery,
but while I do live, no man shall exceed me in hostility to that institution,
only as he has the ability. to hate with a more deadly hatred than is in my
power to do. But I have said enough, and yet less would not seem to meet
the case. I have the honor to be
Yours for Freedom,
JOSEPH GARDNER'

The memories of,old Chas. 'BLUE 'JACKET who died a few days ago in the
Indian Territory, is not forgotten by over two dozen of the old settlers
now with us. BLUE JACKET lived four miles up Wakarusa creek and left
there over thirty years ago. He was a half breed Indian and established
what was then known as "Blue Jacket's crossing." In early history this
was the only crossing on this creek for twenty miles away, and there he
lived during early Kansas troubles and kept a kind of hotel for free state
men as well as Mrs. STEVENS. After Kansas was admitted to the sisterhood
of states the tribe to which he belonged were moved to the southeast with
Shawnee town as headquarters. Twenty-six years ago the tribe went to the
Indian territory with BLUE JACKET as one of their chiefs. Some two weeks
ago he came back to Wyandotte county to locate the grave of one of the
prophets, and while there he was taken sick, and lived only a few days
after reaching home. The tribe wished to locate their Jacket's grave to
erect a monument there. BLUE JACKET was 80 years old and had twenty-six
sons and daughters, ten of whom are now living over in Wyandotte county
and the rest scattered over the territory. He was here when the village of
Eudora was laid out and for' years was a conspicuous figure on the streets.
He came to the state sixty-five years ago when a yoth of 15 years of age.
He was widely known in later years as a preacher of some talent as a
pulpit orator among his Indian friends.

From The Pioneer, VIII,: No.2, p. 95:
"North Lawrence was form'ed in 1865 from territory taken out of Sarcoxie Township in Jefferson Co. Legislature of 1867 provided for formation of Grant
Township out of Sarcoxie Township." 'Below are some a:rticles which opposed this.
The Independent, Oskalo~sa, Ks., Feb. 18, 1865
THE'FRAUD CONSUMATED
Money and persevering efforts in a wicked cause ,have succeeded with
the citizens of Lawrence in robbing us of a portion of our territory. No
scheme of the kind was ever more unjust; no similar attempt more flagrantly
outrageous; and the rights of part'ies interested never more ruthlessly
trampled upon by unprin~ipled tyranny. Without justice ,or the shadow of
right; without any but the robber's plea; against the, expressed wishes of
nine-tenths of the people on the cut-off,this vile measure has been
pushed through the legiklature by means of corruption and bribery. No
unprejudiced member voted for the bill on the merits of the measure.
Misrepresentation, bribery and promises of place' or help on the part of
Lawrence, did the work, which was conceived in villainy and consummated in
fraud and corruption.
I

HON. M.R. DUTTON
Made a strong fight on the County Line bill, and deserves and has the
thanks of his constituents for the same, we believe, unanimously. But
the money and promises qf'Lawrence were too much. What could not be
carried by fair means w~s rushed through by pressure. Lawrence men were
at the capital for three or four weeks, using every means to rush their
criminal measure througli.;,knowing that they could not,make a showing on
the merits of the case, 'they commenced by 'raising a corruption fund,
variously set down at ftom eight thousand ,to forty thousand dollars;
and upon this and lobby work they relied exclusively.' They well knew
that the people on the territory did not wish to leave this county and
go to theirs. They knew they had not an argument to use founded in
justice and right; ,but they hadmoney.;..-and even the bones of their dead
were conjured up to help them!--an.d against this our representative,
upon whom 'the whole brunt of the,battle fell, could not successfully
contend. But his manly ,defense of our rights merited success, if, under
the adverse circumstances, he did not win it.

WASH~NGTON

CREEK CHURCH OF THE BRETHREN

SOME RECORDED EVENTS IN ITS HISTORY
In the year 1858 under the guidance of Jacob ULRICH at the log cabin home
of Steven STUDEBAKER, 'eight miles southwest of the city of Lawrence, Kansas,
in Douglas County, Karisas, the congregation known as the Washington Creek
Church was formed.
'
There were twelve charter members. Among them were Abraham ROTHROCK and
wife; Steven STUDEBAKER and wife; Daniel STUDEBAKER and wife; Daniel KEENY(?)
and wife; Jacob }U\RKL~Y and wife; Isaac B. HOOVER; and David KINZIE.
At this meeting the first election was held among the Brethren in the State
of Kansas, with Danie] STUDEBAKER being elected to the ministry, Isaac B.
HOOVER, to the office ,of Deacon, and Abraham ROTHROCK chosen as Elder in
charge.
The first recorded Worship service held by this group was May '22, 1859 at
the Jacob ULRICH home. (This was a Love Feast service.)*
During the drouth year,s of, the 1860' s this group was very active in administering aid to fellow Brethren and friends who were in need.
On Dec. 22, 1863, Jacoh ULRICH, the prime mover of the congregation died!
On May 28, 1864, John C. METSKER was elected to the office of Deacon. Also
in 1864, James E. HI~Y was elected to the ministry.
The first building used'forworship was bought March 19, 1864, and was used
until Nov. 23, 1869, when it was sold. The first building the congregation
erected was in 1877, at the present site of Pleasant Grove, Kansas. This
building is no longer ~tanding.
I

April 2, 1881, this:congregation separated with the eastern section of
area staying at the Pl~asant Grove site, and chose the' name Pleasant Grove,
for their name, with James E. HILKEY, being elected Elder in charge. The
western section of the;area retained the name of Washington Creek, and
Peter BRUBAKER was elected Elder in charge. The Weybright School was used
for Worship service until 1885, when the present building was erected.
John C. METSKER was a ~trong moving force in building this church.
On

On Sept. 13; 1885, thebuilding'wasdedicated, with
love feast being held at this time.
Among the first ministe,rs to serve the church were:
Peter BRUB~~ER ~ 1860

Washington Creek Church Con't.
*"The traditions:and customs 'practiced in the serving of communion
at Washington Creek church have hardly varied since the first Love Feast
that was held at the church on October 31, 1885. The Love Feast or full
communion, which includes the ceremony of footwashing, was observed as a
reenactment of the Lord's last supper with His disciples in the upper
room before His betrayal. and crucifixion. The scriptural basis for the
Love Feast is found in John, Chapter 13.; Here.we read, speaking ... of Jesus,
'He riseth.fromst,lpper, and laid aside'his garments, arid. took a towel,
and girded himself. After that he poureth water into a basin, and began
to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the 'towel with which
he was girded. After ,he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments,
and was seated again, ;he said, unto them, Know ye what I have done to
you? Ye call me Haster and Lord; and ye say well; for so I am. If I,
then, your Lord and H~ster,have washed your feet, ye also. ought to
wash one another's feet. For I have given you an example, that ye should
do as I have done to you. If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye
do them.' The Brethren combined all three elements found in John 13;
that is, supper, footw:ashing, and the breaking of bread and drinking of
the cup, and called it: their Love Feast or full communion." Reprinted with
permission from Rev. Dpris FAWL from A People of Living Faith·- History and
Memoirs of the Washington Creek Church of the Brethren, October 13, 1985, p. 118.
The members of the Washington Creek Church of the Brethren recently
celebrated the one hundredth anniversary of their church building. They

North of Baldwin City in Palmyra Township, Douglas County, Kansas, a
number of home sites were located along the Coal Creek. This area was known
as Coal Creek until the construction of the Leavenworth, Lawrence and Galveston
Railroad facilitated the establishment of a post office on September 25, 1868.
This post office was housed in the farm home of the postmaster, George CUTTER.
It was called Vin1and although the application had specified the spelling to
be Vineland, since this area was well-known for the large Concord vineyards
near~by, especially in the William E. Barnes Nursery.
There were sixteen postmasters--two of them--George CUTTER and Thomas
BAKER serving two terms. This is a copy of the list of Vin1and Postmasters
as recorded by the National Archives and Record Service, Washington 25, D.C.

There were four Rural Mail Carriers that served the Vin1and area.

They

were:
W. E. (Gene) HOSKINSON
Udah S. KING
Jessie E. KING (now Mrs. Webb FENTON)
Scott HANSEN
The post office was established September 25, 1868 and was discontinued
April 30,.1954. I t began in the home of George CUTTER which was called Island
Prairie because it stood on top of a small rise above the surrounding grass1and.Herein the CUTTER home the Coal Creek Library books were first housed.
George was both postmaster and librarian. The post office ended iIi the Coal
Creek Library, a small red imitation-brick building just west of the Vin1and
Presbyterian Church where at one time Dr. James Naismith, inventor of the
game of basketball, preached to ,the people of Vin1and.

�44
Vin1and Post Office continued-Usually the post office was located in a public building such as a
store, but occasionally it was in a private home. This was the case with
postmasters H. W. WILLIAMS as well as George CUTTER. The CUTTER home was
located on a knoll just southeast of the present site of the Vin1and United
Methodist Church while the WILLIAMS' residence was just west ·of the old
Santa Fe Depot where the Vin1and Airport is now located. Here too, were the
books of the.Coa1 Creek Library housed for Mrs. WILLIAMS was librarian and
Mr. WILLIAMS was postmaster.
RUSSELL, BAKER, KENNEDY, BROWN, HOSKINSON, REUSCH and'both David and
Elmer HAGERMAN were store proprietors. Three generations of HAGERMANS were
postmasters--David,. his son, Elmer and Elmer's granddaughter, Bernice.
SIMMONS was a physician as well as a farmer and lived on the hill just
south of Vin1and now known as Simmon's Hill. He may have had an office in
Vin1and or perhaps distributed mail out of one of the stores. His home was
on the top of the hill near KIBBEE Cabin, later known as the BARRICKLOW
Cabin where the "seeds for Baker University were first germinated."
One of the most colorful characters was Joseph ILIFF--carpenter" tinsmith, cobbler, store proprietor and local preacher. His son, James, was
also postmaster beginning in June of 1893.
Rural Carrier Service forVin1and began some time in January 1906,
when W.E. (Gene) HOSKINSON was appointed the first carrier. Because of
family health problems, Gene relinquished the position after a few months.
Sometime in the spring or summer of 1906, Udah S. KING took over the route
and held the appointment until he died of typhoid fever in September 1918.
His daughter, Jessie, then carried the mail for three years. Her successor
was Scott HANSEN who served for many years.
At first the mail was carried in a horse-drawn vehicle with its sides
painted red, white and blue. In the spring of 1918, Mr. KING bought a
mode1-T Ford and his daughter, Jessie, who was a senior in high school at
that time went along with him to crank the car and help with the mail.

)

Jessie KING FENTON relates an interesting incident connected with that
first civil service exam for the carriers. It was agreed among those taking
the test that the one chosen for carrier would give.an oyster supper for
the others. It so happened that Gene HOSKINSON was selected for the job and
thus became host for the supper. As Udah's wife was unable to attend, Udah
asked his daughter, Jessie, to be his partner. So Jessie attended the
supper with her father and later became a carrier herself.
Three women served as postmistresses. They were Mrs. Martha L. MILBERN,
1937-1941; Miss Bernice HAGERMAN, 1941-1942; and Mrs. Alma F. HEINRICH, 1947
to .Apri1 30, 1954, when the post office atVin1and was formally closed.
Many of the Vin1and residents were then served by the Baldwin City Post
Office. During that period of time, the post office was located in the Coal
Creek Library building which was built in 1900 especially to house the
accumulation of library books. Mrs. HEINRICH was both librarian and post..,.
mistress.
Thus theVin1and Post Office began and ended in the same location as
the Coal Creek Library.
Katharine B. KELLEY wrote this in 1984 for the Woman's Kansas Day Club to be
presented to the Kansas State Historical Society as part; of their project.

HALL OWE 'EN PARTY
A clever and unique Hallowe'en party was given Saturday night when
Mrs. James WIGGINS and Miss Janet FINK were hostesses to over thirty
unmar:ried friends at the home of Mrs. WIGGINS northwest of town. The
house was artistically decorated with autumn leaves, jack-o-1anterns,
witches and black cats. There was a ghost parade which started in the
cellar and ended in the garret, where there was a horrible death chamber.
Miss Helen STRICKLES of Topeka handed out fortunes in a nutshell. When
supper was served the guests were seated on the floor in a circle, with
a Jack-o-1antern in the center and each took their turn telling ghost
stories.

Halloween Party Con't.
Interview with James B. WIGGINS, 1984 and 1985:
"After Hattie and I were married; and were living here at this house,
we had a Halloween party. Janet FINK, a teacher boarding down at Mrs.
HARRISON's-~Hattie's aunt down below here--and Hattie put on a Halloween
party. They had the people come into the house through an outdoor cellar
entrance. In the basement, we had a'cornshock, and a black cat yowling
back in there, and we told ghost stories. Some of the girls screamed and
yelled. They had to come on.through another dark cellar 'and come up some
steps. When they came up those steps, they were greeted with someone
shaking~' hands with them--a kid
glove filled with sawdus t--s limy! Oh, they
screamed and yelled! They took them through this dark room upstairs. In
this upstairs, they had a bed with a sheet over something. There was an
old hermit--an old outlaw who lived down below, and someone was telling a
ghost story about him--that he had died and they boiled the meat off his
bones. Under this sheeted bed was what
.
.was supposed to be this old hermit.
We told some terrible ghost stories!"

In 1854, while the first cabin was being built in Lawrence, my grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph H. HARRISON, came to Douglas county and homesteaded in the Barker neighborhood, later buying more land. There are three
houses on this land which was inherited by the only two children out of eight
to live to maturity. They are Mrs. Lucy J. ROSE and J.M. HARRISON, who each
have homes there. I live in the other house which was built by my grandparents to replace their first log house. The house we live in has been ·the

stinted. William is a trifle over six feet in stature. himself, which

THE EARTHQUAKE.
Our city was the scene of the liveliest excitement, about 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, that it has been our fortune to witness. There is no doubt
but this section was honored with a veritable, genuine, old-fashioned earthquake~one that would be a credit to localities a little closer to the quaky
regions of the globe.
'
We were pursuing our usual avocation, on the third story of the building,
everything quieter than usual, when suddenly, without warning, the building
connnenced shaking in a manner that plainly indicated something wrong. Our
. first impression was that the floor was giving way, and. accordingly we made a
hasty transit to the corridor at the head of the stairs. At this juncture
the compositors and printers came·rushing out of their rooms with an alacrity
that was surprising, and someone exclaimed that the building was falling.
The continued and increasing shaking of the whole building fully justified
that view, and we suddenly came to the conclusion that we wanted to get out,
and that badly, too. We started to go down stairs, but the thought struck

�63

The Earthquake (cont.)
us that going down two long flights of stairs,·with a three-story brick
building traveling the same direction, was not quite the thing. In this
dilemma, one of the boys threw up the window opening on the roof of the
adjoining building, and if ever a set of fellows went through a window in
less time, we want them to come here and let us see them do it. We ran
to the cone of the roof, and found it was shaking as badly as the one left,
and accordingly ran to the next roof. It was jarring very perceptibly, and,
looking down in the street, we saw the whole city going through about the
same maneuver that we were at. Everyone was rushing out in the street,
and fellows engaged on the upper stories were coming down, six steps at
a jump, hair flying and eyes popped·out, in away that'showed something the
matter. As soon as we saw it was a general complaint we .felteasier, and
left our perch for the street. When we went down the whole city was out,
and everyone concurred that it was a serious shock. Everything of a movable
nature was rattled in an alarming manner, and in many places plastering was
cracked and fell from the walls. A large stone was loosened and fell from
the top of the Unitarian Church, and in many houses and stores small articles were thrown ,from the walls. There· is no denying that it was a rather
serious scene, and we saw a good many white faces on the street, after it
was over.
From the telegraph operator we learn it was felt at St. Jo., Leavenworth,
Wyandotte, and as far west as the railroad line extends. It lasted about
one and a half minutes, according to the report of persons who profess to
have timed it. There is no doubt but something. is wrong with the internal
arrangements of Mother Earth; but it is to be hoped sh~ will attempt to
rectify it in other sections, and not take her medicine in Kansas.
I

The current of the river was checked by the earthquake, causing it to
rise in waves of some height. A tub nearly full of water, in front of
Filley &amp; DeWolf's store, was almost emptied by the shock.
·Nothing was talked of, or thought of, last evening, but the earthquake.
Everyone had his or her experience to relate, and the whole history of
earthquakes was overhauled, and a great many theories advanced, and speculations as to the cause, etc. One little boy gave as plausible a solution
as anyone that we heard. He gravely·informed a companion, who was evidently not so well posted, that he "guessed the earth had the bellyache." We
judge that boy will be a professor in a district school yet. We could find
no one who was frightened, or felt any fear at the time:of the occurrence.
One fellow was detailing his coolness, when another impolitely exclaimed, ;
"What in the h--l did you run down stairs so fast for, if you wasn't scared?"
"Run!" said our hero, "Why, I ran out to see what was the matter." That was
just the way with us~we simply went out at the window to see if anything
was up.

LOCAL MATTERS

Lawrence Business--One of our business men informs us, that on last Saturday, he counted the teams
in town and found one hundred and sixty-five in one street. If that don',t look as if Lawrence was
a business town, we have no conception of what would. It was no extraordinary occasion and scarcely
indicated a difference from the ordinary business of our place. Frequently citizens of other points
of the state are heard to express great surprise at these exhibitions of the active business enterprise of our beautiful city.

MAJOR DAVID STARR HOYT
THE HERALD OF FREEDOM, Lawrence, Saturday, June 27, 1857
Major HOYT, who was assassinated last summer, near Fort Saunders, and
hastily buried by his friends on Rock Creek eight miles from Lawrence, was
disinterred on Tuesday last, the 23rd and brought to this place and buried
with military honors.
The services were conducted in the Unitarian Church, with the choir
furnishing some beautiful music. The Rev. LOVEJOY delivered an oration,
and the Lawrence Brass Band closed with one of their mournful and solemn airs.
His remains were followed to the grave by the Oread Guards and by a
large concourse of citizens, accompanied by music from the Band.
He lies buried between the lamented ,BARBER and the brave SHOMBE, in the
Lawrence burying ground. So long as men love liberty and hate slavery, so
long as they venerate the brave and true, so long as they love principle
more than life, so long will they visit the graves of these martyrs to
liberty to strengthen their manhood, increase their courage, and kindle the
flame of patriotism by the memories of the glorious dead.
David Starr HOYT was born in Deerfield, Mass., in the year 1821. He
was therefore 35 years old, at the time of his death. He leaves behind an
orphan child, a daughter, aged six years. He served in Scott's army in
Mexico, and was in every battle from Vera Cruz to the City of Mexico. He
was considered a brave 'and valuable soldier. He was a scholar and, a man of
varied attainments. In 1852, he was with Stephen's surveying party, in
running out the Northern Pacific Railroad route, from Oregon to Wisconsin.
His services were highly appreciated and well rewarded by the Government.
In March, 1856, he came to Kansas with a quantity of Sharp's rifles,
which were taken from him at Lexington on the Missouri River. From that
time forward he served the cause of freedom faithfully and without interruption, until the time of his death.
In the summer of 1856, the Georgia guerilla companies concentrated
under Col. TREADWELL, and commenced building fortifications and furnishing
themselves with military stores on Washington Creek, ten miles southwest
of Lawrence, on the claim of a Mr. SAUNDERS.
Word went out from this post and others of a similar character that
all the Free-state men must leave the Territory or be killed, but that any
Free Mason might come in and he should be safe. The settlers became alarmed
at these frequent threats and applied to Major SEDGWICK, commander of the
U.S. dragoons at Lecompton to drive them away, or allow them to go do it.
Major SEDGWICK sent over'an officer with a company of soldiers, to examine
into it, and gather information. The officer reported that there was a
company of Southern men building a town and the logs they were hauling were
for cabins. New developments continued to alarm the inhabitants, and they
applied to the people of Lawrence for assistance. In order to determine
what course should be pursued, it became necessary to send a messenger to
Col. TREADWELL to ascertain what his objects and intentions were.
Major HOYT volunteered to go. Trusting to the honor of Col. TREADWELL
as a brother Mason, he expressed perfect confidence in the safety of the
enterprise. He left Lawrence in the afternoon of August 11, 1856, ent~rely
unarmed and stayed all night with a friend, (Augustus WATTLES), near Bloomington, and in the morning went over to Washington Creek to Saunders Fort.

Major David Starr HOYT (con't.)
He stayed there until after dinner, left, was followed out on the pral.rl.e
by three men and shot. Early next morning, word came in that a man was shot
near the Fort Saunders by the Georgians who were under Col. TREADWELL. Two
boys who were near the scene of action, witnessed the deed. As Major HOYT
did not return as was expected, his friends became painfully anxious for
his fate. A large company of Free State men gathered, and established a
camp at Dr. E.G. MACY's, on Rock Creek. They sent over a company of thirty
men, under the command of Capt. SHOMBE, to search for the body.
They called upon Col. TREADWELL for information as to where it was
buried, but could get none. After searching nearly all day without success,
they fortunately met a company of surveyors who had seen the grave, and
directed them to it. He was doubled up and thrown into a hole, his knees
projecting from the ground. They took him up,placed him in a wagon, and
then carried him to the camp., On being examined by the physicians, it was
discovered that he had been shot from behind,the fatal ball entering the
back of the head and passing out at the forehead. His face was thickly
covered with corrosive sublimate, so as to destroy his identity as soon
as possible, and probably in twelve hours more, it would have been destroyed.
A strong box was provided by 'Henry HIATT of Bloomington, in which his remains
were deposited, and he was temporarily buried ina beautiful grove on the
banks of Rock Creek. H~ has lain there in peace a little over ten months,
when our citizens have performed the last sad rite of burial, by consigning
him to his final resting place.
Note: It is not surprising that Henry HIATT would provide a burial box for
Major HOYT. Prior to his own death'in 1900 at the age of 84, he completed
a coffin for himself which he carved 'from a large log.

History of Eudora Area Churches.

'

,

Eudora has always had many different churches because it's early
settlers came from Europe where you find a church Or;t nearly every hil~ .
and down in the valley. They are very old and historlc churches. and:-.
well kept.Many have beautiful murals and paintings in them because the
neople could not read the Bible so the pictures told the Bible story
-from the Creation to the start of the early churches.
The Church was important to our European settlers as a vital part
of their religious and social life.Soon after Eudora was se·ttled in
1857 worship was started in hOmes as Missions,then in larger buildings
until the membership grew so a church building was built.
The first known church services in Eudora was before its founding
when the ~hawneeIndian Chief Paschal Fish,Jr. asked for a Mission
school here to provide schooling and religion for his Tribe and others
childrenoThe Wakarusa Shawnee Indian Methodist Mission was built at
about 1215 Elm Street.
The Mission was a two story,rough-hewn building of native lumber
with a thatched roof and Dr.Abram still was the Missionary in charge
of building the Mission school and director.He was a l1ethodist Minister
a medical doctor,teacher,carpenter and farmeroOne son,Dr.AoT.Still
practiced here and founded Osteopathy and another son,Dr. James still
practiced here many years at 806 Main St.The Still's gave land and.
helped to start Baker University.
Chief Fish,Jr. was also a licensed Minister by the Methodist Church
and helped with church services.The Mission started in 1851 and prob&lt;~
ably closed in 1854 because of the slavery problem. Then Circuit Preachers continued to serve Eudora until the churches were established.
The next earliest church 1s the Clearfield Evangelical,now United
Methodist,which began as a Class Meeting by German Evangelicals in 1858
with a Circuit Rider Missionary Preacher,who sometimes could come only
once in three months o These preachers usually wore out several horses
each year and lived only at an average age of thirty-five. They often
slept on the prairie grass which was taller than their head when seatoo
on their horse.They had only a few trails,practicallY'no bridges and ;.
rode in the heat,dust,rain,storms,sleet,severe cold,snow and wind.
When the Preacher came to a certain area the word got around and
people came for miles around,walking,in lumber wagons,buggies and on
horsebackoThey brought a basket dinner and spent the entire day in
worship and Christian fellowshipoPeople from other denominations came
too as some preachers could only get around once in six weeks or SOo
Later when schools were built church worship was held in them
until churches could be erected.
Clearfield was first called Captain's Creek and was a part of the
Evangelical Mission Circuit of Franklin.Sermons were in German there
but communication was difficult because these German pioneers came
from different provinces in Germany and each province spoke German a
little differentlyo
In 1861 a Camp meeting was held on the Schendel and Heeder farms
and they lasted a we.ek and people lived in their wagons and they held
them when the moon was full.
In 1880 the Clearfield Church was built on land donated by George
Hausman.The head carpenter was William Deckwa who organized the men
and members did the building themselves. The original Chancel railing
is still in use in the present church.The men made the pews and a high
railing down the middle of the church to separate the men and women,a
common practice,also in the Quaker,Methodist and other early churches.
1~en the wind was strong, plaster fell on the heads of the worshippers until George Schattenberg put in a beautiful wooden ceiling.Kerosene lamps and wood burning stoves were used until 1907 or 8 0

Acetylane lights were~sed until 1917.
In 1945 the Evangelicals merged with the United Brethren to form
the Evangelical United Brethren Church and in 1968 merged with the
Hethodis t Church to form the United Hethodist Church.Clearfield E. u. B.
and Salem E.U.B. in Eudora shared the same pastor until 1966 and then
Clearfield was joined with Wordeno
Li ttle information is available about Harmony Free He thodis t Church
but a group started in 1856 from the Methodist Circuit rider days in
the Harmony schoolhouse six miles south and two and one half miles we$
of Eudora on the north side of the road until 1857 when a church was
built one halfmile east and one half mile south of the school on the
John Edmond Nichols farm.Mrs. Nichols funeral was tha last religious
service held in the building Aug.,I9I8.Rev. Lovejoy was a Methodist
Circuit Preacher but felt he had more "elbow room" with Free Hethodists
and was the minister there.This seemed to be an English speaking church.
Captain's Creek Methodist Church was organized ~n 1859 as a German
speaking Class Meeting on the Johnson,Douglas County line, southeast of
Eudora.Brother August Mecke served the church first,no regular minister was available ex cept Circuit preachers.During the Civil War,Eudora
and Captain's Cree1Cwere with Lawrence on a Circuit.This church was
often c alled"Little Blue" because the walls were painted blue inside
at one time.The building was erected in 1882 on land donated by the
Joe Millers.The land first belonged to a Shawnee Indian named Adams.He
sold it to Ed Knabe's father.Ed's widow married Joe Millero
Captain's Creek and Eudora Methodist were served by the same minister until 1955 when Eudora secured a full time pastor.VJhen Captain's
Creek disbanded a few years later some came to Eudora,Clearfield,Edg6.~­
ton and Gardner.The building is on the Wesley Brecheisen farm and used
for storage.
.
The German Methodist Church began with Class Meetings in 1859 jointly with Captain's Creek and Lawrence Circuit.This group purchased the
home at 6th and Main Street in I870.Worship was on the second floor am
the minister lived downstairs.
In I88r a new frame church was built between eighth and ninth street
on Church Street on the west side while Rev.John Ehrsman was the minis~er
and in r884 a parsonage was built by Frank Brender but it burned in 1926.
This church was torn down and parts of it were used in the buildine of
the home at 825 Locust sto
Some of the r868 records'mention these people: C.Steinm.eyer,H.: . ..l,.r
Rausch, J oGutknecht,Fr.Weibel,AoBromelsick, Julius S.Miller.F. W.l1eyer,
Hunziker,~origott(early German name meaning ~ust) Gabriel,Holzappel,
D.Huller or Mutter,Ed Capeo
The local minister H.Meyer was reminded to have a written report
of loc~l conditions of parsonage which had been built in Lawrence,papering etco and if he retracted what he said his license would be renewed.
A supervisory committee was appointed Aug.r868 of Three men to examine
the character of the minister and another committee of three men were
appointed to examine the minister's license to preach.He must have met
their requests as he was granted a new license.
In 1893 some members were: CoEberhardt~Bartz,Albrecht,Schafer,H.
Gabriel,BrinkmeyeriGus Rosenau,Henry Abels,Wuensch,Albert Baecker,W.
Gabriel,A. Gabriel,Walters,Kanzig,Havercamp,Bohnsack,Schutteo A~proval
for membership list was; Anna Gabriel,Bertha Knopp,Carry(Carrie) Abel,
and Brothe Laple is to be excused from attending because of his health,
and Brother Albrecht demanded his membership certificate or he would
withdraw.
In 1893 Lawrence was voted to be removed from the Circuit and Captain's Creek and Eudora would have alternate services in morning and
afternoon.Members sent flour and grain to western Kansas people because
of the drought.
In 1895 Freddie Trefz and George Broers Here -recommended for membsrship and a committee appointed to buy land to build a horse barn on.

�91

In 1896 people approved for membership after the reEular six months
probation were; Joseph Broers,Frank Broers,Willie Spitzli,Eddie Bartz,
George Schafer,George Schneider,Lydia Albrecht,Lt1zie Eberhardt and
Tillie Ziesenis.
Hesper Friends Church(originally called Quakers) first met at the
home of Jonathan and Phebe Mendenhall in I86I,one mile east of Hespe~
In 1862 the group was granted a Preparative Meeting called Springfiel~
A meeting house twenty-four feet square was built of native lumber hauled from Leavenworth. (This are was mostly prairie bluestem grass in those
days;few treesL)
The first families besides the Hendenhalls were ;George T.Rogers,
William and Penelope Gardner,Winslow ,Margaret and Adela Davis,John :: _"
Hills ,most all from North Carolina. They were against slavery,military
service,oaths,lotteries and paying wages to n.nisters but even in early
years had women ministers.They spent much time in worship by silent
meditation.
In 1864 the Kansas Quarterly Meeting granted them a Monthly Neet ...~
ing.In 1871 members living east of Captain's Creek in Johnson County
was granted a Preparative Meeting and in 1872 named it Centre.In 1882
a new meeting house was built, a thirty by fifty foot building at Hesperr
and the name changed from Springfield to the name of the town, Hesper.
The Church started planning for an Academy and in 1884 started the
two year High School called Hesper Academy which served until Eudora
High School was built in I9I5.The Church also provided for a Cemetery B
near the Church. English was spoken at Hesper,which was three miles
south and one mile east of Eudora.
The Catholic Church at 300 east 9th Street is the oldest church
building in the area.The members organized in 1863 but they must have
worshipped together before then because we are told that a Jewish merchant(probably Asher and Cohn) let the Catholic congregation worship .
in their general store when a priest could come to town.(Eudora has
always been ecumenically minded'citizen's).We have also read that one
man in early days walked the seven miles to Lawrence to worship in a
Catholic serviceptaking all day for the trip and service.
The Catholic Church,Holy Family Church,building first was a 20X
48 ft. room on the southeast built in 1864 by the ~ople.John Kellerman owned land east of Eudora where the limestone rock was quarried.
Men who hau1ed the stones with horse and wagons were, Jacob Pabst,
Mike Branagan,John Welch and James Brazil.Masons were Casper Weber
and Franz Blechel and some good Lutherans,which was referring to the
St.paul Evangelical Church members. Other men helping were; Fred
Faerber(Eudora's first mayor),Anton Gufler,LW.Pfeif and Leo Vitt.
CarDenter's were,Joseph Hertz,Peter Ha~tig(Captain of the first group
of Germans to settle Eudora),and John Kellerman,who also made a beautiful Altar.They made the inside trim and furniture too.
There was not enough money to buy a bell,so all of Eudora's people
gave money to buy a bell to be rung at 7:00 a.m.,I2 noon and 6:00 p.m.
as it still is.It is now in front of the new ChurchoMr.Greiner rang it
for many years.
German and Latin was spoken in the church and it maintains a cemetery and for many years had a Parochial School for elementary students
and provided a home for the Sisters who taught the children •
. St. Paul Evangelical Church was organized Deco27,1868 by Rev.
Christian Haas under the auspices of the Evangelical &amp;ynod of North
America.This group of Germans met in homes until the first church was
completed in 1871. The present building was built in 1913 and services
were started in English in 1916.1n 1919 one Sunday per month worship
was in German.In 1934 this church joined the Reformed Church and the
Union of the Congregational Christian Church and is now known as the
St. Paul. United Church of Christ.

The Salem Evangelical Church at 716 Church Street was organized
as a German speaking Class Meeting in 1869. The Church was built in
1870 a 26x 40 ft.brick building.The Church was started by Jacob and
Chri~tine Strobel.He and his daughters,Caroline and Pauline carried
water from the Wakapusa River,over two blocks,uphill,for the mortar
for the bricks.
Worden,Clearfield,~tull and Eudora were once on a circuit togeth~.
Rev.John Wereth organized the church here in 1871 and so~e of these
charter members were; Peter Neis,Sr.,Fred Neis,Sr.,Jake l~yers,Jacob
Otts,Ernsts and Yosts.In early 1900 only Eudora and Clearfield were on
the same circuit. The church joined with the United Brethren Church in
1945.
The building was enlarged by a south lecture room and belfry in
I905.The rear Annex was built in I956.The entry way window is the Star
of David but we do not know why.
The Building has been owned by the United Methodist Church since
the merger with the Methodists in 1966 and Salem Chapel,as it is now
called is loaned to the Eudora Youth Service Organization for youth
activities as Boy and Girl Scouts,Cubs and Brownies,4-H,and adult
meetings.The EYSO is to keep it in repair but this is a service project
of the other Eudora organizations,as well as individuals.
Prairie Center had a Friends Church and a Free Methodist Church.
'The Friends began in 1869 but we do not know when the Methodist began
but their second church was built in 19I7.These churches were in Johnson County.
The Friends Church was started from Hesper Friends and that was
called Springfield.Prairie Center was first called just,CENTRE Meetin&amp;
In 1888 the spelling was changed to CENTER and in 1894 to Prairie Cen'tPro
The first building had a gallery and two steps up where visiting
friends and ministers sat although they no pastors then but just religious leaders in the church that were felt to lead and speak. Some of thEe
speakers were; Philander Blackledge,Benjamin Nicholson,William Andrew
and Jimmy Vestal o The latter sometim es sang as well as spoke from memorYoDavid Ve~tal and Jesse Coltrane were head of the meeting and faced
the congregation.When the sun was shining and was straight in the south
door they dismissed the meeting by shaking hands oWe do not know when
they stopped on cloudy dayso
One wedding ceremony was 'performed by the the couple sitting and
facing each other ona bench in silence and finally standing and repeating their vows.
In 1894 a new church or meeting house was built and Tilghman Couch
and Sibyl Andrew sat at the men and women's meeting.Eusebia Couch,mother
of Verlan Couch,a Eudora resident many years,ministered for over twenty
years and led a Young peoples group,Christian Ende@vor.
In 1901 a free will offering was taken to pay the ministers and
in 1911 Frank E.Jones asked for pay as a pastor of $8.00 per week in
money and a donation of 8 pullets or hens and hay and grain for twenty
weeks in winter for the stock and an occasional donation of groceries
or wood or both.
The government bought the land and the church in 1942 for the
Sunflower Ordnance Works but sold the church building back to the
Friends where they moved it one-half mile west and one and one half
miles south of Prairie Center but in 1959 it was moved to Gardner
and called Gardner Monthly Meeting of Friends.

From Republican Journal, Lawrence, KS, 26 April 1873
. There is a notice of the drowning of four persons near Elk

"A LETTER FROM KANWAKA"
Printed in The Kansas Weekly Gazette, Lawrence,

Ks~,

Dec. 22, 1882

If there is one thing more than another that Kanwaka has reason to be
proud of it is its ladies. For intellectuality, sociability and hospitality
we know that they are inferior to none, and for beauty we feel able to take
the cake. They have been carrying on for about two years a Literary Social,
which they have made a grand success, having not only added to their own
intellectual and .social powers, -but have every month opened their doors and
invited in their husbands, brothers and friends and given them a treat in
the way of some very interesting programs. Such a time was last Friday
night, when they met at the house of Mr. and Mrs. E.A. COLEMAN. The large
house of the host was full to overflowing of neighbors, and while the
children" occupied one room and enjoyed themselves in various games, the
elder people filled another and listened to the reading in outline of
Howell's "Chaucer Acquaintance," which was read by. Mrs. TOPPING, Mrs.
PIERSON and Miss Belle RICHARDSON. The close attention given to the readers
showed how their efforts were appreciated, and the look of rapt attention
and numerous sighs from the old men showed how their minds were drawn back
into the past, when they were young and full of sentiment, and how the book
brought vividly to their minds similar scenes in the past, in which they
formed a prominent part. After finishing that book, Mrs. CONANT read "A
Widow's Christmas," from Harper's, which was received with a great deal qf
feeling. Then there was a song by Miss Emma EVANS. Then Rollo DRAPER
recited a declamation, followed by a selection by Mr. CONANT. The literary
exercises then over, the president said they would have an hour of social
talk, which was filled in by friendly greetings among the many present,
with some more music, which they all joined in singing, Miss Ida EVANS
presiding at the organ. The next meeting is to be a Christmas meeting, in
two weeks, at Mr. E.A. COLEMAN's, for the children. In four weeks, at Mr.
RICHARDSON's. We left at ten o'clock, and the house was resounding with
merry laughter and pleasant voices. Many thanks to the ladies of Kanwaka.
May their society always remain on its pleasant and firm foundation.

Western Home Journal, May 25, 1882
Last Sabbath was a day of special interest to the people of Kanwaka.
Their large school-house was filled with an attentive audience, gathered
to participate in the organization of a union church. Prof. L.W. SPRING
preached an excellent and appropriate sermon, and Rev. H.E. WOODCOC
assisted in the organization services, after which the Lord's Supper was
observed. Twenty-three persons united with the church and others will
join at an early day. Rev. A.M. RICHARDSON, who has been preaching
there for some time, is pastor of the church. They hope to build a
house of worship in the near future.

�BEST TIME EVER
"PAST 75" PICNIC AT WOODLAND
PARK ENJOYED· BY A GREAT
MANY VISITORS.
Afternoon Was informaL
One Heat of a Horse Race Was Pulled Off, There Was Fiddling
and Singing and Visiting and Picture Taking.
It was thought the limit of enjoyment at Woodland park had been
reached with the children's picnic last week, but this proved not to be
the case. There was absolute joy with the "Past 75" picnic held there
yesterday afternoon. The joy of anticipation was as great as that of
realization, and the preparation·for the event impressed everyone with
the strong feature that made the occasion such a huge success--the perfect
delight of those who were invited to take part.
There wasn't much going on at the park~not nearly as much as there
will be next year when the· event is repeated--but the gathering under the
great old trees, with their carpets of splendid verdure, where the breezes
always blow, was enough to make the event enjoyable. The guests gathered
and visited; gathered even as the children, before the hour set; and
visited as hard as the children played. Then all gathered in the auditorium, where there was some old time fiddling by Captain J.M. SPENCER
that made others gathered suggest that a. sort of an old fiddlers program
would be an interesting feature another year; there was some singing, too,
led by Miss Olivia OLSSON.
Then the crowd separated and visited some more, the greater number
going to the race track seats to watch a heat or two of a horse race that
had been promised. There was an annoying wait, as the horse men were
quarreling among themselves about making the race, although they finally
emerged from the stables and drove a hap-hazard heat around the track.
Then all assembled for the photograph that was to be taken by Lawrence.
In the contest for the five-pound box of candy for the spryest of
the guests, age considered George KIMBALL and Mrs. Charles PEASE won.
There was lots of good lemonade for the visitors, who just had to walk
up and show their badges, and get all they wanted, whenever they wanted
it. It was a great afternoon, and was worth while.

FRANCISCO LIVERY SOLD
S.C. BYBEE of Garnett, Assumes.
Charge January 1.

The FRANCISCO livery barns at 808-10-12 Vermont street, one of the
largest of the kind in the city, was sold this morning to Mr. S.C. BYBEE
of Garnett, Kansas, who will assume charge as owner with the opening of
another year.
Negotiations for the sale of the property have been going on for some;
time, but always some hitch occurred until the final consummation of the
deal this morning. Mr. FRANCISCO has been in business several years and
has made a big success of it. Whehheassumed charge several years ago
the business was run down more or less, but he has built up and added
until now the barn and business is the largest of its kind in the city.
Mr. BYBEE, although not assuming absolute charge, will remain here until
January next, and will thoroughly familiarize himself with the business
and at the same time become acquainted with his Lawrence trade. He is a
married man with a family and will move here some time after the opening
of next year.
Mr. FRANCISCO has not definitely decided upon his future course of
action, but will remain here at least until after the barn has passed
out of his control .

legislative
in session

Your petitioner, E.A. COLEMAN, respectfully shows that
he is and since the 27th day of October, A.d. 1854, has been
a citizen of Douglas county and Terri tory of Kansas. That
during the troubles and disorder that prevailed in said Territory between the 1st day of November, 1855, and 1st day
of ' December, 1856, and in consequence thereof, he lost and
had stolen and taken ~way of his goods and chattels the property mentioned in the lahnexed schedule, at the time and in the
manner therein stated, which schedule is annexed to and made
a part of this petition, for which property he has never received any compensation whatever.
He further alleges that .about the 1st day of September,
and for several weeks thereafter, armed bands of men were
infesting said county and the neighborhood of petitioner,
and he, with others of his neighbors, was driven away from
his home and unable to save his crops, and thereby the crops
mentioned in said schedule were totally lost and destroyed.
He further alleges that his occupation at that time was
that of a teamster, which was entirely broken up by said loss
of his team, to his damage $50, as set forth in said schedule.
Wherefore he prays your honors to audit and cerfi fy said
losses, amounting to $574 in all, and the interest thereon
from said 1st day of September, A.D. 1856, as damages resulting
from said loss, and to award him certificate therefor.
E.A. COLEMAN

�AN INFORMAL HISTORY OF SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 22,
WASHINGTON CREEK SCHOOL.
By
ELIZABETH K. DUNN
The first school building was a log cabin, in the 1850's. In 1860,
Darwin E. BOWEN received a patent from President James BUCHANAN and it was
from the southwest corner· of this quarter section that he and his wife,
Sarah A. BOWEN, on June 24, 1863, deeded an acre of land to District 22
to be used for school purposes. The school. board members at that time
were: Joseph LOVELACE, Sylvester CREEL, and Darwin E. BOWEN.
On this site a stone 'school house took the place of the old log one.
This school house served the district for 60 years. A frame building to
replace the stone building was built in 1898. The clerk's annual report
for the school year, 1897-1898, carried only the surnames of those of
school age: ATTIC, BOYD, BOWEN, BOND, CREEL~ DARNOLD, HASTIE, HYRE,
LONGANECKER, PARNERLL, ULRICH, SUTORS, MATNEY, DUNN, EVANS, MARKLEY,
McKAY, and HALVERT.
I, Elizabeth DUNN, attended Washington Creek School from 1916-1924.
Some of my teachers were Edith STRONG, Mary LANDON, Lola WILBUR, Mary
A. NORRIS, Mary Leone ISAACS, Alice McTAGGART. Some of the school board
members were: Hugo SCHELLHORN, O.P. McNEES, G.E. MARTIN, J.W. BANKS,
and D.E. BOND. Some of my classmates during those years were: Inez BOWEN,
Neal BANKS, Winston McNEES, Inez MOHLER, Earl MARTIN, Venita BOND, Esta
LONGANECKER. I thoroughly enjoyed school and looked forward each September
for the year to begin. I enjoyed all the programs, the pie suppers, the
last day of school picnics. I t was a happy time in my life.
The social life of this community, Washington Creek School, was always
an active one, with entire families involved in programs, parties, basket
lunches and dinners. The 300 volume library was also in constant use.
The disorganization of the district was June 24, 1959, when District
22 became part of the Wakarusa Valley District No. 98. The personal
property of the district was sold, the large bell becoming the property
of Mr. and Mrs. George BERG, and in the fall of 1984 was sold to Jane
WIGGINS. The school house burned after being a rental property for some
years.
Note: Part of this.information was' taken from: RURAL SCHOOLS AND SCHOOLHOUSES OF DOUGLAS COUNTY, KANSAS, by Goldie PIPER DANIELS.

Lawrence Daily Gazette
December 4, 1884
24 years ago Mr. Thaddeus FISH, now a resident of Grant township, in
this county, declared that he would not be shaved till a Democrat was
elected president of the United States. He has faithfully kept his pledge
till to-day, when he came into the city and indulged in the luxury of a
first-class shave at Frank WILLIARD's. Mr. FISH is 73 years of age, and
like millions of other good citizens, feels happy over the election of
CLEVELAND. Our friend, Ed~ CANOVAN, accompanied Mr. FISK in pursuit of
a good democratic shave, and was master of ceremonies.

Death of Jason MOORE

I

Mr. Jason MOORE, one of the oldest and most respected colored citizens
of Lawrence, died at his home at 285 Lake street, North Lawrence, yesterday
evening. Besides being a member of the North Lawrence Baptist church, Mr.
MOORE held a membership in several fraternal societies. The funeral notice
will be given later.
The Daily Gazette, Sept. 12, .1913
Fred LAPTAD A Winner
Fred LAPTAD was a winner at the Topeka state fair this week on the
yellow dent corn, raised this year on his Grant township farm. He got
several first prizes and made one of the best corn showings made at the
fair. It was a demonstration, too, that there is corn in Kansas this
year that is fine enough to take the blue ribbon prizes .at the fairs.

.' '.:' WINTER DIST. NO. 70.,
I

i The first known school in this community was held in a little two~room frame house, one room
above the other, located on the R. T. Richards farm, about one and three-fourths miles north of
Kanwaka Corner on U. S. Highway 40. This was not an organized school, and probably main'tained by subscriptions, with the top floor used to house the teacher. When no longer needed for a
;school, this little house was moved to a different location on the farm and used by the Richards as
. a dwelling, being enlarged as needs of the growtng family dictated. .
The actualorganiz.cition of District No. 70 as shown in the earliest district record, reads as
follows: "The legal voters of School District No. 70 of Douglas County, met, pursuant to notice
of the County Superintendent on the Sth day of June, 1869, and proceeded to organize by calling
, J. A. Kelly to the chair. On motion, R. T. Richards was elected director of said district, J. A.
: Kelly was elected clerk, and C. F. Deskins treasurer of said district. Meeting then adjourned."
M. S. Winter donated an acre of land on which a stone schoolhouse was built in 1870, and this
.!tale (stat~ent by_ Qlas. ~in!f!)'_d~t~ed tJ1e_!1_~J&gt;~ "70" _gi_V~!O .Yt~ .4is~rkt.!- ______,
On June 3-, 1871, a special meeting voted to increase the size' of the-sehoolgrounds by buying i
. from Mr. Winter an additional three-fourths acre adjoining the acre already donated. This was
legalized when on July 11, 1871, Matthias S. Winter and Mary E. Winter, his wife, for the sum
of $15.00 gave a warranty deed to District No. 70, for this parcel of land located in the Southeast
, corner of theS.W. 1j4 of Sec. 13, T.12, R. 18, same being recorded the next day.
The first annual school meeting was held March 30, 1871, resulting in the election of S. M. ,
Sedgwick, director, M.S. Winter, clerk, and R.T. Richards, treasurer. School was to be held for
three months in the summer with a female teacher, and four months in the winter, sex of teacher
,optional with the board. A tax of three-eighths of one percent for the teacher, and one-eighth of
one percent for incidentals, was voted. The meeting also instructed the board that in hiring a
teacher, the contract should be that the teacher be obliged to stay with the children at recess and
,during intermission at noon.
Like many rural schools in early times, no well was put down for years after the schoolhouse was
: built, the older boys carrying drinking water from a spring across the road southeast of the school.
i Not until 1906 did the district dig a well on the grounds.
i The first term of school was held from May to July 21, 1871, with Alice Colman as teacher.
I The pupils were Nancy, Arminda and Mary BLANKENSHIP; Laura, Maggie and Elmer
IBURCH; Annie DONAHUE; Huldah, Susie, Lizzie and Willie DESKINS; Geo., Mildred and
I'Margaret ANDERSON; Mary, Annie and James HAMILTON; Ella HAGAN; Hattie and
,Joseph MONTGOMERY; Mary, Leora, Milton, Thomas and George WINTER; Perry and
lJ:larll WQIHHINGTON.

�Since the summer term usually-taught onlygirls and small boys, it was customary to hire female
teachers. The winter term of four months accommodated the older boys and girls and such
younger ones as could battle the bad weather and roads. So for this, a male teacher was usually
, selected as being better able to cope with the rigors of the elements as well as the disciplinary
:.~
problems which frequently arose among the older boys.
The social side of life here was not neglected. The Community Oub held monthly meetings in
, the schoolhouse and provided entertainment in the form of dialogue:; and plays, followed by the
spelling bee which was inevitably featured.
.'
For this bee, two captains were selected, and they then proceeded to choose sides, selecting the
, best spellers first of course. This continued until all present had been chosen, old and young. As
, their names were called they took their places by their respective captains in tw(' lines on opposite
, sides of the room facing each other. The person to pronounce the words (usually the teacher)
, armed himself with a speller and the serious business of spelling down, began. When a speller
" misspelled a word he took his seat, until as the ranks thinned to two contestants, the mounting
tension could almost be sliced. Upon the ability of one of these two, rested the championship of
the evening.
! Tax-payers in the district in 1874, were Thos. Anderson, John Anderson, Wm. Anderson, Eli
,Barnes, Elias Chris, C.F. Deskins, Wm. Donahue, Daniel Freeman, Henry C. Howlett, ].S.
'Kelly, Wm. McCarty, R.T. Richards, Henry Rodgers, Julia B. Sumner, ].T. Cummings, M.S.
Winter, W.H.T. Wakefield and Chas. Worthington.
At this time schools were not graded except as pupils were grouped into primary, intermediate
and grammar grades.
I Teachers' records between the years 1877 and 1887 are missing, but from treasurer's books the
! names of these teachers are revealed: E.M. Emmett, Eliza Emmett, George Draper, S.E.
: Winrick, Alice Ingersoll, Dora Patten, Myra Fitz and C.R. Wenrich. '.
.
: Academic requirements for teaching in rural schools at that time were not high but one of the
prime requirements was a teacher's ability to "keep order," and sometimes this factor alone :
.
determined whether or not a teacher was hired or fired.

I expense of 25 cents for a water bucket, 15 cents for a dipper and 25 cents each for a broom and '

In 1885, Beattie Armstrong was paid $13.05 to point up the schoolhouse, which involved
,repairing the crumbling mortar between the stones. This was before the days .()f Por:tland cement,. :
so mortar was made of lime and sand with horsehair for a binder. . . '

• Other teachers in the late 1800's were Wm. Parsons, S.M. GaSton, Anna ~ars, Ella Flinn,
Florence Crowder, Maggie Gregory, Julia Hutt, Rose Heise, Olive Wisely, Kate Oark, Mary :
I Riddle, C. E. Houdyshell and Alma Nelson.
.
;
, In 1898 the district board consisted of M. R. Winter, Geo. T. Richards and Fred Deskins. The'
: teacher, Mr. E. E. Houdyshell, received a salary of $25.00 per month and total expenditure for;
: the school year was $224.21. Names of those of school age in 1898 were: Corbet and Shipman,
CARTER; Clarence, Abbie and Jake BROWN; Agnes KELLY; Chester PELSOR; Jack, Kate, i
: Maud, Fred and Mert READ; Raimer, Eva, Clark and Sadie RICHARDS; Arthur, Granville,'
, Henry and Leeman UNDERWOOD; Mark, Hazel, Bessie, Paul, Georgie and Maud WINTER. i
I For the first ten years of the twentieth century, the teachers were Lillie Gwinn, Camilla Nelson, '
, Sylva Kettering, Clara Colman, Alta Phillips, Mildred LaHue, and Emma Dews. Board members
, of 1910 were George Banks, Mrs. Lenora Colman and George Carter. Bertha Bailey taught the
i 26 pupils. During the term taught t?y Clara Colman, Mr. George Banks took a wagon-load of:
school children to Lawrence to the dedication of the water fountain at 9th and New Ha.nlpshire '
I Streets, by President Theodore Roosevelt; the same fountain, now in South Park in Lawrence. '
Teachers of the next decade were Bessie Jackson, Carrie Geelan, Marguerite Ice, Ada
Schroyer, Jeanne Winter, Lillian Stover, and Rebecca Miller who taught the term ending in
1920, with 26 pupils enrolled. During this period a number of improvements were made. The ,
: school-room was replastered, new weighted win~ws installed, a new hitchrack set up, a concrete.
,~~ and platform built in front of the schoolhouse, and a woodshed erected.

, ~A~ mandate was giventhe'board to" hire~an -expenenced teacher, which would seem to indicate'
that most of the previous teachers may have been inexperienced. If such was the case, it might tie
". .~: ,':,-~". .
in with the story in the next paragraph:."
In early years of the district a small woman had worked a bluff on the teachers to the point of
. once bringing a ball bat with her when visiting the school, in order to emphasize her ideas as to
, how the school should be conducted. There came a year finally, when things were to be different,
and matters were brought to a head when one of this parent's offspring defied the teaclierand
received a shaking therefor. This teacher, however, proved to be experienced and the game of .
I bluff was finished. Thereafter baseball bats were used only for the purpose originally intended.
Other improvements made during this period were an anteroom built on the front, with shelves
installed for dinner buckets, slate blackboards purchased, an eight-foot United States flag bought
and chains to replace the old ropes used for the swings. The term ending in 1920 was the first
: eight-months' one for this school. Board members were C. J. Banks, R. E. Schroyer and M.
Shelly.
Teachers of the 1920's were Lenora Schroyer, Christeen Schroyer, Lawrence Journey, Rose
Dews (Wymer), and Dorothy Elliott, whose monthly salary was $91.00 for teaching the 15
pupils. Board members were Newt. Hamlin, C. B. Winter and Willis Coleman. Total expenditure'
for the term was $1245.66.
' " , '
.
: The teachers in the 1930's were Dorothy Elliott, Kathryn McCaHrey; Mrs. Ruth Sa~er,
Alice Mitchell, Mary Sanford and Edna Reekie. Board members of 1940 were J. Elmer Shields, .
C. B. Winter and Willis R. Coleman. Twelve pupils were enrolled.
After 1940, Ruth Bertsinger, Roberta Swearing, Anna Hubbard, Vesta Bahnmaier and Emma
Petefish, brought teaching in Winter School to an end in the terin ending in 1946. The school
." :-;as clo~d~iii'ilie-next two iears,°ind in i~i49. 'thediStrict~as ~d1Sorgaruze«(aild -tlleproperty"1
distributed among districts 14, 36 and 40.
. .
. '.
:!
When this was done, schoolhouse and grounds were turned over to the Winter Community I
Club which some years later distributed the equipment among its members and sold the building!
and grounds to Max McClure who owiled the surrounding farm. He, in turn,' finally sold the'
property to Jerry Smith, a car dealer in Kansas City who tried to preserve it 'as a: museum and
1 offered its use to Boy Scouts and other like groups. Eventually it fell a victim of vandals and decay
and now stands on the prairie a forlorn reminder of better days. Its large bell was broken and
destroyed when persons unknown attempted to steal it.

The Winter School Preservation Inc., a non-profit corporation
was recently formed by members of the WINTER family and friends to
renovate Winter School.
Sen. Wint WINTER, Jr., the great-great grandson of Mathias S.
and Mary E. WINTER who donated the land for the school was elected
president.
The gvoup decided to restore the school to its condition in
the 1920's~which means no running water and no electricity. The
work will probably start this fall and may take about a year to
complete.' The Quilding would be open by appointment to visitors
and to classes from area schools.

Death has entered our ranks and his icy touch has stopped the beating
of two hearts. Youth, beauty, wealth, power have naught to charm away his
coming. "With his sickle keen He reaps the bearded grain at a breath,
and the flowers that grow between."
Willie ALBRITON (colored), aged nine years and ten months, died of
La Grippe, on the morning of Feb. 16.
Willie was a bright and promising little boy, and his death, so
unexpected, seems sad and untimely. He was a pupil of the First Primary
where he will be greatly missed by his teacher and schoolmates.
Nellie HAWLEY, aged fourteen ,years, died Feb. 22, at 12 o'clock.
Nellie was a member of the Seventh Grade and was respected and loved by
teacher and schoolmates. Sad indeed is it to record this early passing
away of so beautiful and so promising a life. It "adds one more to the
inexplicable mysteries of Providence that perplex us here." No., we do
not, cannot understand His ways, for "Now we see as through a glass
darkly;" but there will come a time when it will be made plain to us,
and we will rejoice in the love ofa just God who doeth all things well.

IN MEMORY OF NELLIE HAWLEY
-Edith DIXONDear Nell, you have gone and left us,
And we all do miss you so;
But we hope sometime you will meet us,
Where we all now.hope to go.
And won't you be waiting, Nellie,
At the beautiful golden gates,
To welcome us into glory
Who once were your old schoolmates?
And we will ever remember
Theone with whom we played,
When the flowers were in the blossom,
And the grass was in the blade.
As we study and work at our lessons,
We think of you often, Nell,
And the days you assembled with us,
To learn to figure and spell.
You will see no more sorrow and trouble,
But ever with angels shall dwell,
While we are awaiting the morning
When we shall bid the world farewell.

MRS. JENKINS' NINETIETH BIRTHDAY
Spending her days in peaceful quiet in the town in which she witnessed the great tragedy of her life, is Mrs. Gaius JENKINS, the widow
of the man who was shot by James H. LANE, while Lawrence was still
scarcely a town, Mrs. JENKINS celebrated her ninetieth birthday last
Friday at her home at 1617 Kentucky street, where she lives with a
daughter, 'Mrs. M.E. WILDER. Mr. and Mrs. C.L. EDWARDS and Mrs. O.E.
LEARNARD were guests at a little dinner given in honor of the event and
hostess and guests, all of whom had suffered in the wild early days, had
a long talk, concerning the events of the stirring time, though it is now
far in the past as a human lifetime goes, but must always be remembered
as the most thrilling period of their lives, by those who experienced it.
Mrs. JENKINS came to Lawrence with her husband and family in 1855
and Gaius JENKINS homesteaded a quarter section of land, a part of which
is now west Lawrence. Later James H. LANE instituted a contest to the
title of the land and a feud grew up between him and JENKINS. This
went on until June 3, 1858, when LANE shot JENKINS as the latter was
trying to get water from a well on the land under dispute.
The killing of JENKINS by LANE aroused a great deal of feeling all
over the country, and this was particularly the case at Lawrence. The
killing was done in cold blood, as JENKINS'only object ori the premises
was to get water from the well which LANE claimed as his own. The
well stood near what is now the corner of Henry*and Illinois streets.
Although the well had been dug by JENKINS, a short time previous to the
killing LANE had put a padlock on the gate leading to the well, and
had forbidden JENKINS entry to the premises. The JENKINS family had
used water from a ravine for a few days, which had caused sickness in
the family. The head of the household finally went to the well, where
he was killed by LANE. The murderer was never punished for his crime
except by the ostracism of many who had been his friends.
Mrs. JENKINS has lived in Lawrence nearly all the time since the
day when she helped to carry the body of her husband back to the home.
It is now fifty-five years since the tragedy occurred, and Mrs. JENKINS,
one of the chief sufferers from it, is spending the evening of her days
in peace and tranquility.
From The Lawrence Daily Gazette, Saturday, May 10, 1913
