As you can tell by the vacant list of officsrs for the Society we are having trouble getting anyone to take over for the present group of officers. These folks have been doing their jobs for 3-4 years and need a break. One of, those positions is The Pioneer editor. We were in a quandary!! Graciously I received a letter from a new member in Texas who said she really wanted to volunteer to help. I immediately thought of the editors positions when she said she had a word processor. Her name is Cora Wilson from Valley Mills, Texas, and this is her first issue. Of course, the responsibility this puts on the "local folks" and other members is to keep her supplied with articles and/or compilations or records; etc. This is your chance to be published. If you have remembrances, records that i you have gleaned with Douglas County connections then send them to us. This is your chance and we need the help. I suspect that each member may have some information about Douglas County that someone else would like to know. Remember we are not needing Pulitzer Prize material here but we do want it to be interesting and somewhat relevant to Douglas County. The present officers are continuing "under duress". We will pursue a slate of officers in the near future so when you are called do not turn us down. We really don't want this society to fall apart but disinterest is a first indication of dissolution. Not a happy thought. Again, Thanks Cora, for taking us need to see that this works. this most Happy geneal ogi zing.

He is 86 years old, consequently he is a The Pioneer, Vol. XVI, No.1 5 �Benjamin F. Smith, continued teetotaller and an abstainer from all intemperate habits. The greatest moment of his life, he says, is when he came to Kansas and cast a vote for prohibition. He com,es from a strictly colonial family. His great grandfather, Richard RANDLE, was born in Guernsey county, Virginia. In 1752, and served in the Revolutionary war under the command of Col. Ethan ALLEN and capt. John MACKLIN. It was Randle's eldest son, Parham RANDLE, who started the family's emigration 1flest. He set out in 1827 in search of a better location and found it twenty miles' east of St. Louis. He was 80 years old and made the trip from North Carolina on horseback. His family joined him in 1832. It was here that Benjamin Frank SMITH became a man. He grew fruit and marketed it to the big market in St. Louis. He became an expert truck gardener which he followed when he came further West and settled in Kansas. He was the fir·st Kansan to ship strawberries to Denver. The state horticultural society is what it is today largely thru his efforts. He has been a member since 1881 and was elected president in 1914, after serving two years as vice-president. Smith ,,,as not always engaged in the fruit growing business. For years after he moved to St. Louis he was in the employ of the Illinois Central railway. The jobs of brakeman, conductor, expressman 'and baggageman, were intrusted to him, a lad of scarcely 21 years old. At one time nine. money safes, containing $3, 000, 000 to pay the Union soldiers at Vicksburg were under his care. While many of his fellow workers were addicted to drug and strong drink, which w.;:ts for sale at nearly every store, he stuck to his clean habits and won out. ********** From The Lawrence Daily Journal World: B. F. SlfiTH Tells How He Met Lincoln and Douglas While Railroad Worker B. F. SMITH, Douglas county horticulturist, had a two page article in the March number of the Illinois Central magazine, in which he tells 6f his railroading experiences as a boy and relates experiences when Lincoln and Douglas were passengers on his train before the civil war. Mr. SMITH was moved to write to President MARKHAM of the Illinois Central after reading the story of the latter's life which was published in the October number of the American Magaz ine. Mr. SMITH's letter as reprinted in the railroad magazine, was as follows: I was an employee of the Illinois Central for eight years, beginning in April 1858. I went to work as a freight brakemen on the South division, and in 1859 I was transferred to the Chicago division, running between Centralia and Chicago. In November of that year I was transferred back to the South division and was promoted to baggage master, and I continued to serve the Illinois Cen1:ral until March 1, 1866, when I resigned to go into the business of fruit growing. I was in the fruit growing business more than fifty years, but am now retired, having passed my 85th birthday. The First Strawberries In 1860, about the 5th of May, I carried the first package of strawberries handled on the Illinois Central. The berries were packed in an old fashioned candy box holding about two gallons, and the box was marked to H.W. NEWHALL, Chicago. The,y were grown by the station agent at Ullin, twenty miles north of Cairo, Cobden later became the big strawberry center in southern Illinois. In 1862, 1863 and 1864 the Cobden berry growers received $1 a quart during the first two weeks of berry picking. There were other stations' along the line of The Pioneer, Vol. 'XVI, No.1 6 �Benjamin F. Smith, continued the railroad in southern Illinois is 1865, and a man at Centralia planted ten acres. Anna and Dongola also began to plant small patches; so the Cobden berry men then had only about four to six days advantage at the price of $1 a quart. It was several years before anyone began shipping berries from Tennes~ee and Arkansas. The first peach orchard in southern Illinois of which I remember was one of ten acres planted on a high elevation a half mile east of Cobden. During the peach ripening season of 1858 avery poor class of seedling peaches was shipped to "the Chicago market in common board boxes before the orchards of fine budded frui"t came into bearing for" commercial purpose, which was between 1862 and 186l. The Illinois Central made southern Illinois a good place to live and make money; in fact, the Illinois Central did more for settlement in Illinoi 7, than any other railroad in the state. Heard Lincoln and Douglas In the fall of 1858 Stephen A. DOUGLAS and Abraham LINCOLN were canvassing the state in joint debate for election to the United States Senate. I was the brakeman on the special train sent to Jonesborro, where these two distinguished men were to speak. There were only three Republicans in the town to hear Mr. LINCOLN, but: thousands of Democrats to hear Mr. DOUGLAS. When we arr i ved at the station four or five young men came into the car and carried Mr. DOUGLAS to a hack, not: allowing his feet to touch the platform. Mr. LINCOLN I s three Republican friends were not there to receive him. Though only a boy then, it seemed "to me that Mr. LINCOLN made the best argument on slavery. His face was covered with smiles from the beginning to the last words of his speech. In the spring and summer of 1859, when I was a brakeman on the Chicago division, Mr. DOUGLAS came aboard at Odin, going to Chicago. He asked me if he could sit in my seat, as he wanted to step out and shake hands with his friends. I told him he must sit next the window, that I must sit near the door I refused, to attend the brake at the station. He offered me a cigar, which saying I neVE~r smoked. He shou1:ed, "What! A railroad man who does not smoke?" "Yes, sir." After we had lunch at Champaign Mr. DOUGLAS went into the second class car and rode until we reached Chicago, where I went forward to look after my train chest. Mr. I~UGLAS had a bottle in his grip that had a little whisky in it. He said, "Here, Brakeman, is some mighty good whisky." I refused to drink it, saying that I did not like it. Friends carried him out and put him in a cab and sent him to a hotel. A Ride with Lincoln The sam,,:! year, in October, that Mr. DOUGLAS sat with me on a 120 mile ride. Mr. LINCOLN sat in my seat for a ride of twelve miles. He had been sleeping all night, having got on the train at Chicago. He got up at Champaign and sat with me until he arrived at Tolono, where he changed cars for Springfield. He saw the sun rising over the beautiful prairies. Mr. LINCOLN, like Mr. DOUGLAS, seemed to want to get acquainted with the boy brakeman and to see the beautiful sun rising. When Mr. LINCOLN stepped off the train at Tolono I never saw his face aga'in, but if he could have seen my face on the 15th of April, 1865, after the assassination in the theatre, he would have seen tears trickling down my face all day. When I began work on the Illinois Central I was newsboy and attended to carrying water to passengers, etc. Beginning in April I worked as a freight train 'brakeman. The officials often sat in the baggage car with me in those days.

Cora WILSON, 893 Rivercrest Rd~ Valley Mills, Tx 76689-2632. Telephone (817) 932-6605. The Pioneer, Vol. XVI, No.1 11 �DOUGLAS COUNTY, KANSAS VOWllTEERS .186.1-.1865 Continued from Vol. XV, No.4. This list was extracted and alphabetized from the Report of the Adjutant General of the State of Kansas, Vol. 1, 1861-1865, and another volume for the year 1864, which can be found in the Lawrence Public Library Kansas Collection, as well as the Kansas State Historical Society Library in Topeka. The first volume (1865) contains only the 1st through 11th Regiments. In the 1865 report, the Adjutant ~ H z o I-' N General notes that his office does not have complete records for all soldiers, and other records are incomplete. Other records conflict so that "a_discriminating judgement often has to be exercised.'! Many cases involve men captured or wounded or who voluntarily returned from desertion where the records did not report this. Likewise, when a whole regiment was mustered out, all its members were usually recorded as being mustered out on that date, regardless of whether they were actually present, out on detached duty or in the hospital. In this extraction, only those who list Doulgas County residences are recorded here, and in many cases the original records did not record the residence. It will also be noted that where the name of a location in Douglas County is the same as the location name in another county, all those whose residences could have been in Douglas County were extracted. Also, where discrepancies exist between the two volumes, the 1865 volume information is used if possible, since it was published later and contains many corrections. Some notes indicate which volume was used (1865 is used as the date of the 1861-1865 volume). The 1864 volume lists some birthdates and places where the later volume does not, and these are noted.

The following is from her brochure: LEST WE FORGET Christian Frederick Staatz and Charlotte Wilhelmina Wallowt Staatz of Lyona Community Junction City, Kansas Who Came From Schwirsen, Pomerania, Germany, in 1851 by Inez Staatz Kensit 1991 Christian F. Staatz with his wife Charlotte and five children Charles William, William Herman, J.F., Johanna (Latzke) and Augusta (Biegert) -- sailed for America in August 1851. The Staatz family first settled in Watertown, Wisconsin. In 1857 they went by covered wagon to the Lyona Valley, Kansas. Christian and Charlotte and their children built log cabins along the banks of Lyon Creek, where they raised their families. They broke the soil with teams of oxen to plant their crops, started schools and were elected to public off ices. They were a Christian' family and established the Lyona Methodist Mission on ,their farm land. The chimes of the native limestone church, now known as the Lyona United Methodist Church, are still heard throughout the valley each Sunday beckoning the eighth generation to worship. Some of the many of the families that married into the Staatz family include Oesterreich, Rekken, Henning, Rubin, Biegert, Gantenbein, Latzke and Freitag. For the first time, the full genealogy of this family has been chronicled. Compiled from over eight years of research by Inez Staatz Kensit, the book represents data accumulated from personal research, courthouses, church records, census records, Bible records, unpublished manuscripts and war files. It includes 52 family photographs, 19 photos of early buildings and 13 of grave stones of early settlers.'

CROSSWHITE Kansas Collection Kenneth Spencer Research Library University of Kansas December 15, 1978 I Cover Letter This project was:, performed in conjunction with History course 801, Archival Management wlder !Doctor Don MCCOY at the University of Kansas in the Fall Term of 1978. Half the time spent on .this project involved carting large volumes into different rooms, 'as major analysis and rearrarigement was necessary to identify : I I volumes by ty~e be attempted. . and series location before any description'and inventory could With this basic inventory and volume organization done ,the many volumes that must!be missing may be located, identified and recovered. This is the hope of the author. , , Craig S. CROSSWHITE Introduction 'I Court recorqs are often the most accurate diaries of country growth and I change.

With the Sig~ing , foe Pioneer, '101. !'II, 80. 2 of the Kansas-Nebraska Act by President Franklin PIERCE , , I 36 �SERIES DESCRIPTI'ON, Introduction, continued , on May 30, 1854', settlers immediately began pouring into the territory where they formed pockl~ts' of resistance either for or against slavery. I One such group opposing sla~ery'was rushed to the present site of Lawrence by the Emigrant Aid I Company of ~[assachusetts. On July 30, 1854, barely two months after the bill's passage, this first group landed by steamboat on the shores of the Kansas River, , naming their new: town after the chief financial backer of the company, Amos A. I LAWRENCE. By the time of the assemble of the first territorial legislature near Fort Riley in July of' 1855, enough settlers had arrived in this area to allow for county chartl~ring. I Named in honor of Senator Stephen A. DOUGLAS of county was among, the first dozen to be created. Illinois~ the Lecompton, the westernmost township of Douglas County, was designated the county seat, because of the relocation of the legislature there and because of its pros lavery sympathies. Eventually the t,erritorial capital was moved again. This time, with the increase , of population in and about Lawrence, the county seat was moved there by I legislative enactment in January of 1858. One of the ~irst actions of every territory in the Union was to provide, through statutes, a framework by which county property, government, and court records should be created and maintained. These records were usually large b~und I volumes label.~d a~, mortgages, deeds, wills, commissioner books, tax rolls, court journals, jud.icial dockets, appearance dockets, and so forth. I This series description treats, the latter records created primarily by the district court of ! Douglas County sitting in "Lawrence. ,I Within the first law, The Statutes of the Territory of Kansas. 1855, Chapter 93, Article III, sec. 3 provides that every elected judge holding office in the district court shall keep a docket listing all civil and criminal cases that he tries, along with all orders and executions that he makes. In Chapter 90, sec. 25-30, an appointed court clerk is to enter flJe Pioneer, Pol. !PI, #0. 2 37 �I SERIES DESCRIPTIPN, Introduction, continued / all court ju.dgements in a docket book to be filed with the district court and , used as a public ,record. These early district court records were probably first kept at Lecompton, and then at Lawrence • . On August 21, 1863, Captain William Clark QUANTRILL and his partisan forces I struck Lawrence as part of the continued border warfare of the Civil War. this rai.d, the entire business district was set afire. and property were the majority of county court records. In Among the loses in life A few earlier records I did survive, butionly those dealing with property. A more complete -account of the early county 'government and court history, including a listing of county and , court officials, :is contained in A. T. ANDREAS' History of the State of Kansas, , Chicago, 1883 1976), pages (r~print Atchison County Historical Society, Atchison, Kansas, .\ 310~312. Kansas was ladmitted to the Union in 1861, but it was not until after the Civil War that !its laws were fully codified to include a more detailed , description of how county and district court records were to be maintained. Douglas County, I e~rly In property and government record books tend to be consistent in form of entry and style of writing. The court and judicial dockets, however, change and evolve' in form and style from 1863 to the middle 1880' s. The variety in docket style r~f1ects as much the individual skill and demands of the justice , . I - of the peace as it does the continued growth of the county and the demand in time for more detailed!records. , In the Compiled Laws of Kansas. 1868, Chapter 80, Article 34, sec. 703-707, the court clerk is required to keep up-to-date several record books - criminal and civil appE!aran~e dockets, criminal and civil trial dockets, court journals, , judgment books, execution dockets, and any other records that his particular , court should feel necessary. The earliest Douglas County records show a certain amount of confusion, especially in the criminal trial and appearance dockets. I tbe Pioneer, Vol. l'II, 80. 2 I 38 �SERIES DESCRIPTr'ON, Introduction, continued , In Chapter 81, Article 15, sec. 188-193 of the same statutes, the two elected " justices of the peace were required to keep a docket book, within which each case I tried was to have a full transcript recorded personally. Upon completion of his term, the judge 'turned his book over to his successor, who continued the case recordings on the following pages. Since two justices held court in tandem, these books often overlap as to the chronology of the cases tried. As the I researcher might: suspect, the judicial dockets have the greatest variety of I style, legibility, and detailed information, as suited the particular judge's whim or fancy. Upon completion of any bound volume, the court clerk or the judge filed the book with the district court where it was kept as a public recorq and ,I reference tool. " The duties bf the court clerk have survived the two major revisions of the statutes in 1923 and 1970. In the Kansas Statutes Annotated, 60-2601 (1976),' the clerk is no longer required to maintain the number of volumes that he was previously, but provisions are outlined as to the use of computer storage and retrieval. The keeping of the judicial docket survived the 1923 code revision, , but was repealed by the legislature in 1969 as no longer necessary, in view of 1 the extensive cas~ recordings performed today. I The Douglas iCounty District Court Records were kept in bound volume series I in the old courth~)Use in the eleven hundred block of Massachusetts Street. In ,I 1975, massive gutting and renovation was begun to allow for modernization of offices, air contrpl units, and safety standards. ,I The county commissioners took advantage of the s~tuation to employ Kansas Statute Annotated 19-254, whereby any II county records ov~r twenty years old, that have been offered to and rejected by the state histori:tl society. may be destroyed upon the approval of the district court. F'ortunat~~y 'the county commissioners, led by Arthur HECK and Peter WHITENIGH1', negoti~ted to have these records microfilmed and then turned over to. fbe Pioneer, '101, I'll, Do. 2 39 �SERIES DESCRIPTION, Introduction, continued the Kansas C:olle~tion of Kansas. of the Kenneth Spencer Research Library at the University In O~tober of 1975, the transfer was made by Board of Commissioners Resolution No. 75-6-1, after approval was granted from the state historical I I society in TopekC!-. Within the agreement are provisions to allow continued county 1 ownership a.nd use, I open research access, safe and secure maintenance, , , notification to, 'the board if the records be moved, and the attachment of this resolution and its provisions to any future transfer of records. I It is hoped (and anticipated) that in the near future this author and the Kansas CollectionI curator will search through the remaining court records in the remodeled courthouse with the desire to fill in the gaps evident in the collection's volUme series. At that time, the remaining property and government , , records of the county, already in complete series in the Kansas Collection, will be added to make 'a finished inventory of the older county court, property and I government records. 1.

These �DOUGLAS COUNTY RECORDS Many times we hear about all the records that the Kansas Collection has that pertain to Lawrence and Douglas County. In fact,' it seems to us that in many ways the Kansas Collection takes the place of a County Archives. As a service to our members the Society is publishing what the Kansas Collection has that pertains to 'Douglas County. This list was compiled by the Kansas Collection and we suspect represents what they have very accurately. As with the court records these records are not available on interlibrary loan but you may get in touch with the Kansas Co11e.ction and they will tell you what they can or cannot do for you. Of course if you can anddo choose to visit the collection in person you will be able to use these records. Most of them are not on open shelves but they will be retrieved for you.

He was the son of Ezekial Rose and Susanna (Harmon) Rose. He marr ied Susan Ann Murphy 13 Dec 1847. She was the daughter of John J. and Loviney (or Lovicey or Louisa) Murphy and was born 30 June 1833. Her sister, Elizabeth Ann Murphy, married Alexander's brother, George Washington Rose, and "Alexander took care of George's family while George was away" (from Albert Rose's letter) Susan and Elizabeth Ann Murphy's father, John Jarrett Murphy (1790-1853), was the son of Patrick Murphy (1751-1821) and Elizabeth (Spenser) Murphy. (See Patrick Murphy and his Descendants.) Alexander and Susan Rose moved to Illinois in 1854 as their daughter, Sophronia Ann Rose, was born at Woodstock, Ill. on 20 June 1855; Their daughter, Fannie, was born there 24 May 1857. Older brothers of Susan (Murphy) Rose also settled in McHenry County, Illinois; Owen Murphy, born 1814 and Andrew Wilson Murphy, born 1816, became prominent citizens in McHenry County. William Murphy, grandson of Patrick Murphy, was there in 1850. Alexander and Susan moved to Missouri by flat boat in 1858. Siegel and Sarah were born in Vernon County, Mo. -- Sarah on 26 Sep 1859 and Siegel on 26 April 1862. Alexander was in the nursery business there. An interest in plants has appeared in several later generations. During the Civil War, the border counties of Missouri s~ffered considerably from ruffian warfare between Kansas Free-Staters and Southern sympathizers and eventually were ordered to be vacated -Order # 11. After Confederate General Price and his army took all of Alexander's corn ~nd butchered all of his hogs, he moved his family to Kansas by covered wagon, driving a horse and a cow hitched together. (Apparently this move was made between 26 Apr 1862 and 21 Aug 1863.) It is not known if they sold or otherwise received any compensation for the land they were forced to abandon; the 1860 census of Vernon County lists real estate worth $629; it was listed as "Cl Far. Creek Township, H H 087." . Their new home was on the Lecompton River Road, now known as the Scenic River Road, northwest of Lawrence and north and west of Lakeview in Douglas County, Kansas. On 18 Feb 1864 Alexander Rose of Palmyra of Douglas Co., Kansas purchased from Robert and Margaret Barry of Lecompton one half of 80 acres in Sect 5, Township 12, Range 19 in the area of Lake View in Douglas Co., KS. for $350. ($11.43 per acre). Their new home was very close to the Kansas (Kaw) River and was flooded in the big 1903 flood. During the flood, mules at a neighboring farm (Grimes) took refuge on the second floor. of the home and ate straw from straw-tick mattresses'' . an 1nterest1ng old photograph showed the mules sticking their heads out of the second story windows with flood water swirling nearly that high. Lecompton had one of the few bridges across the Kansas River - for many years it had a creaky wooden floor -- and Lecompton also is remembered as the 1855 pro-slavery capital of the Territory. It The Pioneer, Vol. XVI, No. 3 62 �ALEXANDER ROSE (1828-1914), continued is 10 miles from Lawrence, which was the unofficial free state capital by 1857; Lawrence was a haven for run away slaves and the Massachusetts Immigrant Aid Society was assisting in attempts to help make Kansas a free state. Constitution Hall was built in Lecompton in 1855 to house the Territorial Legislature. The Lecompton Constitution, which would have permitted slavery in Kansas, was written there and later debated by the U. S. Congress. That capitol was selected bypro-slavery voters when non-Kansas residents, many Missourians, came across the border and voted; no election rules were yet in place. Lecompton was the home of Lane University where the parents of General Dwight Eisenhower met and married; the building is now a museum. The Windsor Hotel was one of five territorial hotels in Lecompton and now is the United Methodist Church. It features an 1884 Chickering Grand Piano. Lakeview was a small settlement five miles south west of Lawrence on Douglas County Road 7, also known as the Scenic River Road. Years ago there were about 4 or 5 houses, cattle pens for shipping cattle on the Santa Fe Railroad, a general store, express, telegraph, post-office and a school house. The lake was formed when the Kansas (Kaw) Rive~ cut a new channel about 1853. The lake was popular for fishing and the Lakeview Clubhouse and 30 or so cottages line an area on the south bank. Some cottages were there in the 1920's. It is said to be the oldest fishing club in Kansas and is celebrating its hundredth year on July 4, 1992. 60 families are members of the club, many of whom have been members for several generations. Meals were formerly served in the club house. On June 23, 1892, the Lawrence Journal reported that "there will be a Fourth of July celebration and picnic at Mr. Rose's residence at Lake View (a popular resort area in NW Douglas County). Boat riding and dancing will be provided and all are invited .. " The Alexander Rose children attended Lakeview school; later when it consolidated the building was purchased by several cattle traders and became known as the Traders Club. J. B. Wiggins and Myron Dicker were two of the owners. Oyster suppers and other meals were served to their friends and the building was sometimes rented to KU groups; vandalism finally led to its closing. Alexander joined Co. m, 22th Kansas Calvary during the Civil War. His only wound was the accidental discharge of his own revolver, which shot off his big toe. He later was a member of the GAR (Grand Army of the Republic) post #12. For the 86th birthday celebration, Alexander was presented a "fine c~air" by his family. Fannie Runyan came from Pierre, S. D., Sophron1a Cade from Rosemont, Ks., the Nancy Cummings family from Richland, KS. and local families of Albert, Robert and Siegel Rose and friends also attended. From the George Rose family were Agatha and Will Huck of lola and Jim Rose and sons of Kansas City, KS. The children of alexander and Susan were John Wesley, Lavica Susan, Nancy Jane, ~lan Abbott, Sophronia Ann, Fannie, Sarah Ellen, Siegel Albert, Hatt1e Bell, Owen, Robert Murphy, Arthur and Jasper. 63 The Pioneer , Vol. XVI, No. 3 �THE ARTHUR TODD MERWIN'S STORY by Todd Merwin Arthur Todd Merwin was a freighter on the Santa Fe Trail before going West. Pearl Jones of Baker City, Oregon. From I was born at Marietta, Morgan County, Ohio, on June 24th. 1840. My parents were SUSan (Jenkins) Merwin and Edward Merwin. There were several children, Scott or Simeon, myself, Bill, Harvey, Henry, Rose, and Marshall. My rother's people. Her rother before her marriage was named Todd. She was a cousin of Mary Todd Lincoln. My rother had three sisters and two brothers. The sisters were Mary Hedges, married to Israel Hedges. They came to Oregon in 1848 or 1850. They had two children, David and Sarah Hedges. Kezia Jenkins Peddicord married to Jonathan Peddicord. Lived in Morgan County, Ohio. Daughter Georgiana Rose Jenkins Lovell married Oliver Lovell. Two boys, Charlie and George. Sarah Jenkins Leland. Her two brothers were David and Arthur Jenkins. The Todd family were origirially from Veroont, but roved to Kentucky where my grandmother was married. My'grandfather Jenkins was from Wales. My grandfather on my fathers side was Simeon Merwin. They were of Scotch descent and emigrated from New York to Ohio. My fathers family were Jess, Daniel, Edward and SUsan Dye, and Sarah Murray, married to James Murray and Jesse Ryan. In 1849 or 1850 we emigrated from Athens County, Ohio to Rock Island, Illinois. We had a farm on the banks of the Mississippi River, and my brothers and I swan and fished in the river. While we lived in this place the Chicago and Rock Island Railroad was built. We lived on the farm until 1856 when we emigrated to Kansas. When we left Rock Island we went by boat to St Louis and changed to a Missouri boat and went to Liberty Landing. At that place we bought ox teams and emigrated to Lawrence, Kansas. My father took up 160 acres of land tmder the pre-emption act and began farming. This tract of land was located 10 miles west of Lawrence, and six (6) miles south of Lecompton, the pros lavery capital of the Territory. It was on a small stream called Deer Creek. I was then 16 years old. We started breaking prairie with ox teams. We planted corn called a sod crop. At Lecompton there was a hotel called the Towena Hotel run by a man named Ned Wyancoop. It was the headquarters of the Territorial officers appointed by the President, Buchanan. Also, the station for coopanies of Dragoons who were stationed there to quell the border warfare between the pro-slavery and antislavery elements. The proprietor wanted to give a game dinner to his patrons on Thanksgiving and I was an eager hunter. He made arrangements for me to furnish the game. Anything wild except raccoons were to be used. I began about a week before Thanksgiving. One day I had taken my rifle and gone into the woods to try for a wild turkey. In a stream I saw two white fowls that I took to be wild geese. I crept as close as possible and succeeded in shooting one; the other flew away, circled over head and returned to it I S mate, and I shot it also. When I got them out of the water and ready to carry home they were all that I could manage alone. They were large as tame geese, and white, but not like any wild fowl that I have ever seen before or since. The Pioneer, Vol. XVI, No. 3 64 �Queries are free to members.

She was married to John Jacob McGee in 1860, who wooed, won and married her on the present site of Oak Hill Ce:aetery, where she was buried. Mrs. McGee lived in Lawrence continually with the exception of the last few years when she made her hore with her sons in Kansas City, of whom there are six, and one daughter, who lives in Brooklyn, N.Y., her husband, W.J.

She died and is buried in the City of Mexico. Her family still resides in Yucatan with the exception of John D. Gaurer, a son, who is attending a school of electrical engineering in Milwaukee, Wis.

She cane from Missouri, and one of General Lane's ren arrived at her hore and made away with sore of their horses, while she looked on perfectly helpless to prevent the robbery. However, it is needless to state that Jake McGee got those horses back into his possession at the point of a Colt's revolver in \\est Lawrence. A brother of the deceased, and the only surviving rember of the family, J. P. Corel, is still enjoying good health at eight-six years of age. He has lived here continuously since settling in Lawrence in 1854, and still resides with his son, Janes H. Corel, on the claim he pre-empted from the governrent ....

This list was extracted and alphabetized from the Report of the Adjutant General of the State of Kansas, Vol. 1, 1861-1865, and another volume for the year 1864, which can be found in the Lawrence Public Library Kansas Collection, as well as the Kansas State Historical society Library in Topeka. The first volume (1865) contains only the 1st through 11th Regiments. In the 1865 report, the Adjutant General notes that his office does not have complete records for all soldiers, and other records are incomplete. Other records conflict so that "a discriminating judgement often has to be exercised." Many cases involve men captured or wounded or who voluntarily returned from desertion where the records did not report this. Likewise, when a whole regiment was mustered out, all its members were usually recorded as being mustered out on that date, regardless of whether they were actually present, out on detached duty or in the hospital. In this extraction, only those who list Doulgas County residences are recorded here, and in many cases the original records did not record the residence. Also, where discrepancies exist between the two volumes, the 1865 volume information is used i f possible, since it was published later and contains many corrections. Some notes indicate which volume was used (1865 is us~d as the date of the 1861-1865 volume). The 1864 volume lists some birthdates and places where the later volume does not, and these are noted.

The purpose of this pamphlet is to make available a permanent record of the information obtained by the committee which had this matter in charge. The Association gratefully acknowledges the helpful assistance rendered by several of the older residents of this part of the City who not only supplied interesting information but also verified or rejected data secured from other sources. The . reader is indebted also for the facilities extended by the Kansas State Historical Society, JournalWorld Publishing Company, Lawrence Free Public Library, the Board of Education, City of Lawrence, Union Pacific Railway System, and others, whose records furnished much pertinent in£ormation~ North Lawrence Civic Association Lawrence, Kansas March 1, 1930 �------ _._-_ ...._.... - Early History Foreword 1.0 0'1 .Centennial celebrations throughout the State thIs year have caused many communities to review a?~ evaluate their local treasures of historical sigmfICance. Such a review of the contents of a pam~hlet published by North Lawrence Civic Associabon ~,nder the title "Early History of North Law~ence 0~1 March 1, 1930, indicated that additional l?fOlmatlO~ could be added and certain clarificahons suppl~ed which might be of interest to residents. of thIS part of the City. Inasmuch as what now IS known as North Lawrence came into existe.nce even prior to the arrival in Lawrence of the fust party sponsored by the New England Emigrant Aid SOciety, and in 1867 was incorporated as a separate and distinct second class city its early. history is parallel rather than analogous t~ the remamder of the present City. ~ uch additional clarification was supplied by ;rbcles appearing in the Kansas Magazine and also rom a scrap book of newspaper clippings faithfully kept by Mrs. Anna M. Ward, a daughter of J. F. Morgan, a member of the first party of the New England Emigrant Aid SOciety. We gratefully acknowledge the assistance available from these sources. March, 1961 A. B.Ewing of North Lawrence by the city of North Lawrence was embraced in the lands reserved for the Delaware Indians by a treaty dated September 24, 1829. From that time until 1854 these lands were in the Indian Country or Nebraska Territory. Although technically, Kansas was an Indian Reservation prior to 1854, a number of white settlements or villages (with a few run-away slaves from the .south) existed even prior to the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Bill on May 13, 1854 which opened the state to white settlers. No doubt, the settlement in North Lawrence was one of those visited by Dr. Charles Robinson and Charles H. Branscomb who were sent out as scouts of the New England Emigrant Aid Society to select its western outpost. The purpose of the Society was to strengthen uncommitted states and territories so . that they would remain in, and give aid to the Union in the event of civil war. Although squatter settlements had existed for several years, settlers started staking out their claims April 13, 1854 pending the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Bill a month later. On May 26, 1854 John Baldwin and Clarke Stearns, Missourians, staked out claims on what later was to become the Townsite of Lawrence. Their claims were held to be valid after the arrival of the first party of the T HE SITE LATER OCCUPIED Page Seven �New England Emigrant Aid SOcietY on August 1 1854. ' During the following year Mr. Baldwin obtained a charter to operate a flatboat ferry (drawn by rope) across the river opposite Lawrence and built a long log building for his business and dwelling on the north bank of the river. ThIs building was located at the foot of the present North Third Street. C. W. Babcock, who later served as Mayor of Lawrence was in partnership with Mr. Baldwin for two years. Practically all supplies for the townsite of Lawrence came in by wagon train over a' long dusty route from Leavenworth. They forded the river or crossed by ferry opposite Lawrence. The comparative absence of timber south of the river and its abundance north of the river caused the early settlers of Lawrence to cross the river for building materials with which the first pennanent structures were constructed. Charles Bruce came to North Lawrence from Niles, Michigan, in 1856. He opened a saw mill and wholesale lumber business on the northeast corner of North Third and Locust Streets on the present site of the Derby Grain Company. A few years later his operations were moved to the west side of North Sixth Street between Ehn and Walnut Streets. This later location proved to be desirable as it made available a switch track of the Leavenworth, Lawrence & Galveston Railway which crossed the river over a railroad bridge at this Page Eight point. Mr. Bruce built his home in 1862 about one hundred feet west of the corner of Elm and North Seventh Streets on the north side of Elm Street. The house is still occupied and is known as the McCann property. This was only a modest beginning of a distinguished name in the hardwood lumber business. Charles Bruce and Son opened a yard in the 600 Block on the west side of-Massachusetts Street. A few years later it expanded its operations to include the manufacture of hardwood flooring in Kansas City, and shortly afterwards moved its headquarte~'s -to Memphis, Tenn. to become the largest dealer ll1 hardwood lumber in the country. For many years it has operated under the name of E. L. Bruce Company, and is managed by two grandsons of the original founder, Charles Bruce. A number of the members of the parties of the New England Emigrant Aid Society settled in/North Lawrence, while other newcomers merely selected the settlement north of the river rather than the townsite of Lawrence for their residence and/or business. A number of the prosperous farms around North Lawrence trace their origins to settlement in the 1850's. Transportation between the two towns had been accomplished by ferry-boat which had operated since 1854. However, it seems that the river at that time presented no real problem in crossing as many of the early residents of North Lawrence forded the river with their teams and wagons. In Page Nine �-----................ ----------------------winter, they often drove across the frozen stream on the ice. David Miller came to North Lawrence from Indiana prior to 1860 and purchased farm lands near Mud Creek. They were living on their farm during the Quantrill raid of Lawrence. One of Mr. Miller's daughters was Maria Elizabeth ( Miller) Tyson. Among the first settlers north of the river were: John Morehead, a Kentuckian, who opened the first traders' store; Dr. G. J. Tallman, from Ohio; C. F. Saum, a carpenter from Ohio; Thomas McCage, a merchant from New York; O. H. Mitchell, a carpenter; M. H. Berry, who operated a bowling alley; Isaac Tibbets, a grocer; W. H. H. Whitney; T. S. Murray; Peter Laptad, and others. In a treaty between the United States and the Delaware Indians, ratified on August 22, 1860, the government granted to Sarcoxie, Chief of the Turtle Band, approximately 320 acres including the greater part of the site of North Lawrence. All of this land was transferred to Charles Robinson, Robert S. Stevens, and William A. Simpson by Sarcoxie and War-me-mar-o-qua, his wife, on November 2, 1861. Almost immediately afterwards, the tract was broken up by the transfer of a strip of land to the Eastern Division of the Kansas Pacific Railroad Company, and other smaller sales to settlers who had moved to the community. The first Post Office was established in 1862 under the name of "Jefferson." The first Postmaster Page Ten was Charles F. Saum. The name "Jefferson" probably came from the fact that the community at that time was located in Jefferson County. The postoffice building in 1865 was located at the north end of the then steel truss bridge on the east side of Bridge Street. That location at the present time is in the river channel, about the middle and somewhat to the east of the present concrete bridge. As was true of similar struggling communities, transportation to and from shopping centers was quite a problem for the people of Nort~ Lawrence in its early existence. Hence, the 1860 s found the area copiously served by many small shops and stores to meet the more immediate needs of the residents. The principal business streets were Bridge Street and Locust Street. The largest store was Dicker's on the comer of Locust and North Seventh Streets. Here you could buy almost anything from groceries to harness. Hislop's Grocery was on the southeast corner of North Fifth and Lyons Streets. Wiedman's Grocery was located at Lake Street and North Seventh Street. O. M. Searles operated his barber shop on Bridge Street. A. L. Carey operated a grocery store on Bridge Street across the street from the present location of th: Union Pacific Freight Depot. John Shields operated a meat market on the northeast corner of Locust and North Seventh Streets. Lindley's Drug Store was located on the southeast corner of Locust and North Fifth Streets. "First and last Chance" was on the east side of North Seventh Street at the Page Eleven �I city limits. While some of these businesses were established in the 70's and 80's, most were in operation during the early sixties. The Townsite of Lawrence appeared to be one of the principal targets of Southern sympathizers, ~erhaps primarily because it originally was organIzed to bolster the chances of Kansas· remaining a free state in the event of civil war which already was on the horizon. Hence, all of the vengeance was heaped upon it, while North Lawrence escaped entirely the disastrous effects of both the raid by Sheriff Jones in 1856 and Quantrill's raid of August 21, 1863. Although members of Quantrill's party did ford the river to North Lawrence to forage food and fresh horses, so far as is known, no buildings were burned and no lives were lost. On the contrary, the entire business section and many of the residences of Lawrence were burned to the ground. About 150 lost their lives, and the Townsite was left prostrate. On September 6, 1863, the Rev. William Aiken Starrett was called from the vicinity of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to become pastor of the old school of the Presbyterian Church at Lawrence. He occupied the pulpit tinti11870. During the residence of Rev. Starrett he was a member of the Board of Regents of the University, and also later served as Editor of the Lawrence Daily Journal. Although Rev. Starrett's major interest was religion, he also was adept as a builder. He supervised the construction of the First Presbyterian Page Twelve II . Ii I I Church in 1866 and built several of the first buildings of the Kansas University. His father and his grandfather had been contractors around Pittsburgh, and there seemed to be a strong urge to follow in their footsteps. In 1865 he built a large stone home in North Lawrence on a tract of twenty acres of walnut timber. (When the city was plotted, this became known as the "Walnut Park Addition.") The irregular sand stones were quarried near Mud Creek and each stone was charted and numbered for the convenience of the stone masons before construction began. The two-story stone house consiSted of fourteen rooms with full basement, slate roof, copper guttering, and other features which put the structure in a class by itself at that time. The house was tom down in the late 1940's and a part of the stone was used in the construction of another residence on the northeast corner of Lyons and North Fourth Streets. It was in these surroundings that the Starrett children (consisting of five boys and two girls) spent their childhood. The five sons-Theodore, Paul, Ralph, Goldwin, and William-were destined to make history as architects and builders. The four older boys attended old Woodlawn School on the northwest corner of North Fourth and Perry Streets. In 1880 the Starrett family moved to a suburb of Chicago and the "Castle" was sold to Dr. W. S. Bunn who converted it into a hospital-perhaps the first in Lawrence. He operated the hospital and I Page Thirteen �....o o served as family physician to many of the early citizens of North Lawrence. Early in 1864 two more of the first party of the New England Emigrant Aid Society moved from Lawrence to large farms located about three miles llortheast of North Lawrence. These were Dr. Robinson (former Governor) and John F. Morgan. Dr. Robinson had been the first President of the Lawrence Association. He also was a member of the first Board of Regents of Kansas University in which capacity he served until his death on August 17, 1894. He served in the Kansas Legislature in 1874 and 1876. After he had moved to his farm (his farm home still remains standing) he managed a large acreage of farm land, practiced medicine in Lawrence, and continued to keep an active interest in the affairs of Lawrence and especially the University. Mrs. (Sarah T.) Robinson lived in the farm home, across the road from the Oak Ridge School, until her death in 1911. On September 20, 1863 the telegraph line of the Kansas Pacific was completed to North Lawrence. Construction of the first bridge across the river was begun in the spring of 1863 by a Chicago concern and was completed in December of that year. It consisted of four 150-foot Howe Truss spans, thirty feet above low water mark. Upon its completion, it was opened as a toll bridge and operated by C. W. Babcock and his brother-in-law, a man by the name of Gillet. The operation of the flatPage Fourteen I boat ferry was discontinued shortly thereafter by competition. . . Tlie Kansas Pacific during 1863 began laymg Its line from Wyandotte (Kansas City) to North Lawrence, and this was completed on November 26, 1864. An excursion train came from Wyandotte on November 28 and townsite companies were organized along the line. The railroad company immediately began building suitable quarters for freight and passenger purposes, erecting a substantial one-story building, 100' X 26', directly opposite the intersection of Locust and North F~th Streets on the present right-of-way of the Umon Pacific. There were open platforn1s on the east and west ends of this building. The Building proper housed the offices of the railroad officials, the passenger depot, and the freight depot. George Noble was superintendent of the railroad; W. H. Bancroft, trainmaster; W. D. Wetherell, agent. Regular train service began on December 19, 1864. The Union Pacific passenger depot was moved to its present stone building in 1889. The completion of the railroad brought in new residents, which necessitated the construction of homes and business buildings. Most of these buildings which were erected nearly 100 years ago have since been discarded, although their locations will be remembered by some of the older settlers. Although the Kaw Valley Town Company did not make application for charter until about three years later, it is quite probable that the name of Page Fifteen �the town was change·d from Jefferson to North Lawrence as a Board of Trustees and town officers were elected at this time. The following were elected: G. J. Tallman, H. H. Howard, T. McCage, M. H. Berry, James Franklin, and A. C. Miller. The legislature in 1865 provided for forming Grant Township out of the southwest comer of Sarcoxie Township, and made the new Township (which included the town of "Jefferson") a part of Douglas County. Sponsorship of this geographical change came from the Townsite of Lawrence as it was anxious to become the County Seat of Douglas County. Its chances for realizing its ambition were improved by giving it a more centralized position in . the County. A flour and feed mill was located on the southwest corner of North Third and Perry Streets. Across the street on the northwest comer there was a coal yard. Both of these businesses were served by a switch-track from the Union Pacific Railroad. The Petrie house, a stone building on the north side of Lincoln Street between North Second and North Third Streets, was built in 1865. The first well in North Lawrence was located immediately east of this house. Theretofore, water for all purposes had been obtained from the river. The Bowersock Building on the northwest corner of Locust and North Second Streets was built either in 1865 or the following year and still remains standing. A building a few hundred feet northeast of the Page Sixteen I 1 I present site of the Union Pacific passenger depot housed the jail and court room. H. H. Howard was elected City Attorney ·and acted as Judge. Directly north of the jail on the north side of Perry Street a small Catholic Church had been erected. Services were not held regularly. The Pilgrim Congregational Church was established in 1865 and the church and parsonage erected on the northwest comer of Elm and North Third Streets. The church has been replaced by another structure, but the parsonage is still standing and occupied. It is located on the north side of Elm . Street about 100 feet west of the corner. The Centenary Methodist Episcopal Church was organized by Rev. Edmund McKee in 1865 although construction of the building did not begin until May, 1866. The first board of trustees of the church was elected May 28, 1866 and was composed of the following: Jesse Brockway, President; Edmund McKee, Secretary; Charles F. Saum, Oliver H. Mitchell, John C. Bardell, John H. Saunders, Robert Critchfield and Alfred Lawson. Chief Sarcoxie and his family lived on the hill north of the Lawson station at Mud Creek. His two daughters attended the old Woodlawn School at North Fourth and Perry Streets. The site of his home was almost identical with the present location of the house now standing. Lewis Weingartner operated a bakery on the southeast corner of Locust and North Second Streets. The Snow Bakery was located at the corner Page Seventeen �..... o N of North Second and Walnut Streets (this location is now in the river). A saloon was operated by Mr. Fritz directly north of the present site of the Union Pacific freight depot. Orlando Darling operated a saw mill and also a grist mill at the foot of North Fourth Street, between Walnut and Mill Streets. A general store was located on the east side of North Fourth Street about two hundred feet south of its intersection with Elm Street. A large elm tree is still standing which was on the north side of this store. Across the street south from the Kansas Pacific Station stood the Crandall House, the leading hotel. This was located in what is now known as the Dauberman Building. Immediately west of this building Henry Snyder conducted a saloon and pool hall. The Snyder residence, which still stands at the northwest comer of North Fifth and Walnut Streets (it was numbered "101 Pennsylvania Street") was built prior to 1870. Soon after its construction it was converted from a residence into a semi-resort hotel operating under the name of "Edlewilde," and was so used for more than 30 years until purchased by A. N. Dunakin, a North Lawrence grocer. The north-south bound streets corresponded generally with those in Lawrence (south of the Kaw River). The streets east of Vermont Street, were named for some of the original thirteen colonies, viz. Kentucky, Vermont, Massachusetts, New HampPage Eighteen shire, Rhode Island, New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maine, etc. West of Bridge Street the northsouth bound streets were: Massachusetts, Vermont, Kentucky, and Front or River Street. Some sixty years later, Bridge Street was renamed "North Second Street"; Rhode Island Street became North Third Street; New York Street became North Fourth Street; Pennsylvania Street became North Fifth Street, etc. The east-west bound streets still bear their original names; but prior to the 1903 flood most of them extended from the east city limits to the west city limits on Front Street. .. Public Schools were established almost immediately after the first settlers came to North Lawrence. However, funds were not available for building public buildings and for perhaps ten years they were held in any public place which would accommodate them-churches, halls, and even some residences. One of the first schools was located 6n the south side of Locust Street between North Third and North Fourth Streets. Mrs. Laptad taught the primary grades, and Miss Bartlet, the upper classes. There was another school on the northwest comer of North Eighth and Maple Streets; and still another ( colored) school on the northwest comer of North Fifth and Elm Streets. Probably there were several other locations where school was held. Obviously there was no segregation of races in the schools. Although the preponderance of the population was white, Delaware Indians from the Delaware Reservation north of the town gradually drifted into the Page Nineteen �~ o w settlement as well as a few former slaves who had escaped from the South. Before 1868 these widely scattered locations were accommodating more than 250 pupils. During the year the old Woodlawn School on the northeast corner of Perry and North Fourth Streets was built as the First Ward School. Old Lincoln School was built on the northeast corner of Lincoln and North Seventh Streets as the Second Ward School. School continued to be held in the second story of the Council House on the southwest corner of Locust and North Sixth Streets, and also continued in several other locations. Obviously, the school population of North Lawrence; as well as the total population continued to grow rapidly. Mr. Frank P. Smith who served as superintendent of the City Schools about twenty years later reported that the consolidation of North Lawrence with Lawrence schools had added nearly one thousand school children to the school system and two school buildings. The school population of the two cities at that time evidently was about the same as the report of the Board of Education of Lawrence in 1867 showed an enrollment in the Lawrence schools during that year of 889 pupils. The first newspaper to be printed was the North Lawrence Courier, the initial edition of which appeared on July 28, 1866. Mr. J. S. Boughton was editor. A short time later the name of the paper was changed to Kaw Valley Courier. Mr. H. C. 'Whitney purchased the paper September 14, 1876 Page Twenty I I I j. I I I I and changed its name to Clarion. The paper again was sold and became the property of Judge H. H. Howard under the name of N Ofth Lawrence Joumal. Another paper, North Lawrence Leader, began publication in 1884 and was discontinued the year following. In 1867 the George Moser family from Illinois forded the Kaw River and settled on a farm at Reno about nine miles northeast of Lawrence. They consolidated three deserted Indian wigwams to make their farm home. One of the daughters, Mary, later became the wife of William Nadelhoffer, Lawrence contractor and builder. ... The Kaw Valley Town Company applied for a Charter for North Lawrence on June 7, 1867. This application was not acted upon, probably because there was a bill before the legislature, which if passed, would automatically incorporate then existing towns. This bill was passed by the legislature and North Lawrence became a city of the second class. The population was about twenty-five hundred. At its first city election North Lawrence chose the following officers: G. J. Tallman, Mayor; N. Hoystradt, Clerk; A. R. Smith, Treasurer; Thomas Deasely, Marshal; and H. H. Howard, Police Judge. The city was divided into two wards, First· and Second, corresponding to the present Fifth and Sixth Wards, respectively. Three councilmen were elected from each ward. A petition was presented to the City Council of Page Twenty-one �Lawrence on June 11, 1867, signed by North Lawrence citizens, asking that North Lawrence be annexed to the City of Lawrence. This petition was signed by U. Biggs, C. Bruce, Orlando Darling, Samuel Tyson, Simpson Bros., Warren P. Biggs, Leroy Crandall, and others. A protest to the consolidation was presented to the Council on the evening of June 12, 1867, by another group of North Lawrence citizens on the grounds that Lawrence had no legal right to annex another municipality. This movement was led by Dr. C. J. Tallman, W. H. H. Whitney, Thos. S. Murray, Thomas S. Hawkins, Judge H. H. Howard, and others. However, the City Council passed an Ordinance (No. 77) purporting to annex North Lawrence to the City of Lawrence on the same evening. From subsequent events the ordinance was ineffective and the attempt to annex was unsuccessful. Immediately after the incorporation of North Lawrence as a city, building began in earnest, and many of the buildings constructed during this period still remain standing. The present home of R. H. Rogers was built in 1867. The brick house on the west side of North Third Street close to the city limits was built. Thos. S. Murray built his home on the northeast comer of Lyons and North Third Streets. Judge H. H. Howard built a residence on the west side of North Third Street about two hundred feet north of the comer of Lyons and North Third Streets. The residence of A. J. Dicker on Locust Street, as well as his store building, were Page Twenty-two i quilt during this period. The Melvin home on the southwest comer of North Seventh and Elm Streets was built. Undoubtedly, there are many other buildings. which were erected during this period which are still standing. The Pine family came to North Lawrence in 1868 and settled on a farm near Fall Leaf (about six miles east of North Lawrence). As the family grew up, members moved to farms just outside of the north city limits. The old Lincoln School on the northeast comer of North Seventh and Lincoln Streets was the first substantial school building to be erected. Shortly thereafter the old Woodlawn building was construCted. Both of these buildings were built in 1868. School opened that fall with about 250 pupils in the five schools according to Prof. Murray. The following year the enrollment had increased to nearly 500 scholars and in 1870 had almost doubled again. The colored Baptist Church was built in the fall of 1865 at the comer of Lincoln and North Fourth Streets. In November, 1869, all east-west bound streetsWalnut, Elm, Locust, Maple, Perry, Lincoln, and Lyons Streets-were opened from the east city limits (North Ninth Street) to the bend of the river on the west. At that time, this included an area about four blocks west of North Second Street. Because of the fertility and friability of the soil in this and other areas of North Lawrence the town particu- i Page Twenty-three i i I' i 1 i i I \. �..... o (JI lady attracted people who were interested in gardening or horticulture. In the fall of 1869 the jail and court room was removed from the location near the present Union Pacific passenger depot to the southwest corner of Locust and North Sixth Streets on which site a two story city hall or council house had been erected. In 1869, James Walker built the Lindley Building on the southeast comer of Locust and North Fifth Streets. The post office was moved to this building and Mr. Walker became postmaster. The Rose Hill Cemetery was laid out for the City of North Lawrence by Holland Wheeler, city engineer of Lawrence. This was located on the knoll on the north side of Lyons Street between North Eighth and North Ninth Streets. Monuments which had been erected over graves were visible in this location until recent years. The Board of Education of the City for the year 1868-69 was composed of: J. L. Furber, President; R. M. Ridgeway, Vice-President; and W. Cartwright. H. E. Cole was Superintendent. Valley Lodge No. 30, A. F. & A. M. was organized in North Lawrence and according to a news item in December,1868, was in a flourishing condition. The following officers were elected: L. P. Mason, W. M.; A. Luptin, S. W.; F. Herrard, J. W.; L. F. Jackson, Treas.; and J. D. Fincher, Secretary. The Leavenworth, Lawrence & Galveston Railway constructed a railroad bridge across the river in 1870. The line approached the river from the north Page Twellty-four I I side on the present North Sixth Street. Later with the permission of the Railway, foot paths were added to the sides of the bridge so that pedestrians might cross without going over the toll bridge. This was the first instance of free passage between the two cities. (The present branch line of Union Pacific Railroad from Lawrence to Leavenworth is a part of the original Leavenworth, Lawrence & Galveston Railway; while the part of the Railway which extended into Southern Kansas has become a part of the Santa Fe System.) . On March 17, 1870, the citizens of North Lawrence voted to consolidate with the City of Lawrence under a general act passed by the legislature providing for the consolidation of cities. Lawrence voters held an election on March 21, and also approved of the consolidation. A joint session of the two city councils was held at which W. Hadle¥ was elected President and John S. Brown, Secretary. April 4, 1870, was set as an election day for new officials of the consolidated city. The reorganization of the Board of Education of the consolidated city on May 2, 1870, showed the following members from North Lawrence: Fifth Ward (previously the First Ward in North Lawrence), J. L. Furber and J. F. Morgan; Sixth vVard (previously the Second Ward in North Lawrence), R. M. Ridgeway and W. W. Cartwright. The City Council of the consolidated city on December 6, 1870 passed an ordinance (No. 138) whereby the City proposed to issue $100,000 of Page Twenty-five �......~ ..... o 0\ bonds, the proceeds of which was to be turned oV'er to the Union Pacific Railway upon its furnishing evidence that it had expended that amount in the erection of general repair shops at Bismarck Grove in North Lawrence. The buildings were built as planned and a large crew of men was recruited for the repair work. During the succeeding ten years, many residences were built around Bismarck Grove and in the area between North Seventh and North Ninth Streets to house the families of employees of the repair shops. The shops were dismantled and moved to Annstrong Station, Kansas City, Kansas. Some of these residences are still occupied, but most of them, made vacant by the removal of the shops, deteriorated and over the years have been torn down. Although North Lawrence had been served since its beginning by "hacks" and "omnibusses," its real boost in public transportation came with the mule cars to Bismarck Grove. These cars were fitted with flanged wheels and were drawn on small rails by teams of horses or mules-usually mules. The "line" operated from Bismarck Grove to Nineteenth Street on Massachusetts Street, from 1884 until 1903. The mule cars had served Bismarck Grove previously for the Kansas State Fairs and other state-wide events which were held there. In May, 1881, Professor C. E. Leslie who conducted a school of music in Chicago, conceived the idea of a giant musical festival composed of auxiliary Page Twenty-six i I I I I I choruses from towns throughout the State, and of bringing them together in one mighty chorus as the Kansas State Musical Jubilee at Bismarck Grove in North Lawrence in August. . He, Mrs. Leslie and 28 assistants came to Kansas and started training these local choruses. The first chorus organized was at Salina with about 200 members. The party divided into groups, each group spending perhaps two weeks in a town in intense training, and selecting personnel by whom the group's training could be continued after they went on to the next town. In all, 73 chorus groups were organized from as many towns with about 10,000 persons taking part. From these 73 choruses more than six thousand singers (630 voices from the Lawrence chorus) arrived at Bismarck Grove on August 17, 1881 for first rehearsal. As the group arrived, a state-wide prohibition camp meeting was just ' closing. The combined chorus gave four concerts, each of about twenty numbers on August 18 and August 19. Seven guest stars from Chicago also were on the program. The performance was held in a large pavilion which did not accommodate the crowd. Two acres of seats were set up in the walnut grove and yet some of the attendance remained standing. The Union Pacific Railroad ran special excursion trains. Others arrived in buggies, carriages, lumber wagons and on foot. The Kansas City Times estimated the attendance at 20,000 although stated that other estimates were much higher. Page Twenty-seven �As Kansas State Fairs ah'eady were being held at Bismarck Grove, equipment, facilities and concessions of all kinds were available on the grounds to take care of the huge crowd. Several Kansas towns have choruses which began with the visits of the Leslie group in 1881. Although Lindsborg's Bethany aratoria Society may have found its inspiration elsewhere, it was organized by the Reverend and Mrs. Carl A. Swenson in the same year that the Kansas State Musical Jubilee was held at Bismarck Grove. Perhaps the last of the principal churches to be built before the turn of the century was the North Lawrence Christian Church at Elm and North Seventh Streets in 1894. Mrs. Sarah T. Robinson ( wife of the first governor of Kansas) was the principal donor. State Fairs, sponsored by the Union Pacific Railway, and conducted under the direction of the vVestern National Fair Association began in 1881. The mule car line was extended to Bismarck Grove. Elaborate preparations were made, including the erection of large buildings in the Grove and the establishing of a race course east of the large building which is now used as a barn. These fairs were well attended by persons from over Kansas and surrounding states. The exhibition buildings and displays have never been excelled by any fairs held within the state. Not only were the annual fairs held here, but Bismarck Grove became a focal point and was used Page Twenty·elght state-wide for large outdoor gatherings including carnivals, political and religious groups, for the succeeding twenty years. A part of the Grove was utilized as a game preserve with buffalo, deer, antelope, elk, and other native animals. Although Sarcoxie, the Delaware chief, asserted that in 1844 he had paddled his canoe from the bluffs in the Delaware Reservation to Blue Mound, his statement is not supported by the government records relating to the flood of that year. However, there is no record of any overflow or flooding in North Lawrence or adjacent lands from 1844 until after the close of the century. ... Evidently the early 1900's ushered in a wet cycle which persisted for nearly fifteen years. There were minor overflows in the lowlands in 1901 and 1902 and then in 1903 came the big flood which should be considered the first major catastrophe of the Kaw Valley. Before the 1903 flood, north of Locust Street, North Lawrence included four blocks west of what is now North Second Street. Only a little more than one block was left. The river channel was about one-half of its present width. The flood carried away and left as a part of the river basin all of the east-west bound streets south of Locust Street and west of North Second Street. It also widened the channel east of the present bridge by adding the area occupied by Mill, Walnut, and Ash Streets from the bridge as far east as North Fifth Street. Thus, approximately one-third of North Lawrence I Page Twenty-nine �,.... o was added to the channel of the Kaw River by the disastrous flood of 1903. Although floods of lesser proportions than the big flood occurred in 1904, 1905, 1908, 1910, 1912, and 1915, the property damage was relatively· minor compared to the flood of 1903. However, their frequent recurrence was of sufficient significance and inconvenience to retard the development of that part of the City. Present generations can little appreCiate the radical changes and the devastating effects of two major catastrophies upon this part of the City in 1903 and again in 1951. But with the threat of disastrous floods definitely behind us, we are pushing forward again to occupy a place in our City which rightfully we should assume. CO Page Thirty �~ $ Q 0 " j T S'r'.

This list was extracted and alphabetized from the Report of the Adjutant General of the State of Kansas, Vol. 1, 1861-1865, and another volume for the year 1864, which can be found in the Lawrence Public Library Kansas Collect~on, as well as the Kansas State Historical Society Library in Topeka. The first volume (1865) contains only the 1st through 11th Regiments. In the 1865 report, the Adjutant General notes that his office does not have complete records for all soldiers, and other records are incomplete. Other records conflict so that "a discriminating judgement often has to be exercised." Many cases involve men captured or wounded or who voluntarily returned from desertion where the records did not report this. Likewise, when a whole regiment was mustered out, all its members were usually recorded as being mustered out on that date, regardless of whether they were actually present, out on detached duty or in the hospital. In this extraction, only those who list Doulgas County residences are recorded here, and in many cases the original records did not record the residence. Also, where discrepancies exist between the two volumes, the 1865 volume information is used i f possible, since it was published later and contains many corrections. Some notes indicate which volume was used (1865 is used as the date of the 1861-1865 volume). The 1864 volume lists some birthdates and places where the later volume does not, and these are noted.

Hi, Was all set to cancel my membership when along comes the article on North Lawrence containing the informati on on the "Cast Ie". Have tried to find something about it for several years. The Wiggin families lived there for a while. My brother was born there in January, 1919. Several fami I ies of Wiggin lived there. I was interested as to why anyone would build such a large house. Our family always called it the "The stone Castle" and we all have pictures of it in our fami ly history books. My oldest sister painted the "Stone Castle" on a hand saw for me. Thanks for the article. Now I can pursue this further~ Choetta Cordell. 134 �THB OLD PORCH SWIHG by Billie Hahn Laughlin It has always been there, the big old farm house with the big porch swing. The land was a grant to my great grandparents from the Delaware Indians. The land is along the Kansas River in what is called Kaw Valley. In 1895 the first part of the house was built. As the children came along it was added to. There were four bedrooms upstairs, a parlor, huge living room, a large dining room and a small kitchen downstairs, and there was also a summer kitchen on the other side of the dining room. The porch runs from the west side of the house to the east, then goes back north toward the dining room, then east again. Hear the west edge of the porch and in front of the double windows of the parlor hangs a big porch swing. Ho one knows exactly when that porch swing was built, but my mother can remember her Grandfather sitting on it when she was a child, just as I can remember mine doing the same thing. Afamily picture taken in 1917 shows the porch swing, so it has been a part of the family for a long, long time. As a child I spent lots of time Rout homeN, as we always called it. Grandma always had her grandchildren around her. We'd sit on the big porch swing and she'd talk to. us as she shelled peas or peeled potatoes. It seemed her hands and mind were never still a moment. She was a beautiful lady. The porch swing was the place we were put to be out of the way, yet observe all the activities of getting ready to dig potatoes or whatever. The huge teams pulling wagons piled high with potato baskets, AgunnyR sacks and people, the team of horses used to pull the potato plow. The rider on horseback carrying the water jugs. My Grandfather raised acres and acres of potatoes and hired labor from town to do the picking. When the wagons moved to the fields and we wanted to see what was going on, we'd climb the arms and chains of the porch swing to see. If this didn't work we'd pump that ·swing till we would almost touch the porch roof to get a better view. I can still hear my Grandmother saying, "Don't pump too high. If the chains break, you'll end up in the driveway!N When I was seven, Grandmother died very suddenly. It was decided among the eight brothers and sisters that my parents would sell their home and move Rout homeR, as Grandpa wouldn't give up farming. How, "out homeR became my home. The big rooms, the big porch and the porch swing. It was a big, two-story, drafty old farm house but how I loved it. The winter winds would blow all the way through it; if it was snowing it was nothing to find snow in your shoes. We slept between flannel sheet blankets with mounds of comforters and quilts. We'd undress downstairs, put on flannel pajamas and socks, stand on the coal furnace register until we turned beet red, rush up the stairs and dive into bed. The summers were as hot as the winters were cold. As I grew older the porch swing was still an integral part of our lives. The young. cousins sitting in a row, all excited, waiting for a horseback ride. The aunts and uncles watching a softball game and laughing when you'd strike out. You'd cry and be sent to the "crying treeR, then to the outfield where you'd work your way to bat once more. My Mother and I having woman-to-woman talks sitting on that porch swing. 135 �THE OLD PORCH SWING (Continued) When the veather permitted, Grandpa alvays sat on the vest end of the porch sving like a king on his throne. When world Mar II broke out and the young cousins and neighborhood boys were leaving, they all came to tell Grandpa, or Uncle Jim as all the neighbors called him, goodbye. They said to be sitting in that same place vhen they came home. Aparticularly favorite neighbor boy didn't make it home, and I can remember sitting on the porch swing with Grandpa and crying. As I became a young adult, married and had children, ve never missed a Sunday going Rout home" for dinner. That old porch swing vas now serving a new generation. Grandpa did lots more sitting now and the great grandchildren used to give him some pretty hairy rides. Be lived until he was 96, so I guess they didn't do too much damage. In 1951 when the Kansas River went on the rampage and flooded the valley, the worst ever, the old house met the challenge. There was eight feet of water in the house and when the water receded there was over three feet of silt on the floors that hadn't fallen in. I don't knov how much was in the basement, but many a bucket-full vas carried out. What furniture ve couldn't move upstairs vas gone -- among it the tva pianos in .the parlor, the oak dining room table that vould stretch across the fifteen foot living room and the porch sving. The house was cleaned out and restored, the coal furnace converted to gas, and the legs of the table and one of the pianos vas all that remained. We all mourned the loss of the porch swing, but as luck would have it, a farmer down by Eudora found it in his cornfield and it came home. We were all so happy and excited it had been found. Over the years, the house has been changed a bit. The parlor is a nov fifth bedroom. There is a bath upstairs, a bath and utility room downstairs. The kitchen and dining room now are one huge room, and the summer kitchen is a carpeted back porch. But to this day nothing has changed that porch swing. It hangs in the same place. It is one of the best friends I ever had. It was a baby sitter, a conference table and a confessional. What stories it could tell. And isn't it lucky that myoId friend can't talk? t t t "Grandpa" in this story vas James H. Corel, born in Douglas County on June 33, 1865. He married Emma Miller and they had eight children, all born on or near "the old house l • Their children vere: Charles W., b 10 Sep 1893 Gladys Fay, b 23 Feb 1896 James Glenn, b 24 May 1898 Augusta RBillie R, b 10 Feb 1900 George Arthur, b 4 Mar 1902 John Beasley "JiggyR, b 27 Jun 1904 Eugene W.

We've been getting along thanks to great help from many members. Hopefully after the Family History book is finished we will be able to find someone to serve as President. The book should be out soon. We may not have it by Christmas but it won't be for lack of trying. Thank you all for your patience on receiving it. I understand the frustration in having to wait so long. We are now sending out the charges for overages on the stories. You will remember that 500 words were free and then there would be a charge for any extra lines. Thanks to Barbara Title for her additions to the Pioneer. I appreciated her comments that if a I ady in Texas coul d do the Pioneer then she could submit some information to be included. Thanks. Also thanks to Cora who has done such a great job. She has had family considerations that have forced her to give up editing the Pioneer. However we surely do appreciate those issue that she did do. Of course, we are now looking for someone else to do it for us. Remember you don't have to be in Lawrence to type it up. We will send you the information to be included. Then you send it back to us and we take it from there. You will notice that included in this issue is a list of items that need to be copied. If any of you outside of Lawrence see anything there that you need let us know and we can get started copying what you want. These copyings will then be published in the Pioneer. Al so if any of you wi thin driving distance of Lawrence want to volunteer to do some of this copying please let us know. We will be delighted and I think you will find it rewarding. Many times this information becomes a book that the Society can sell to other interested parties. . . Let us hear from you and send us information that you may have that would be of interested to others and that pertains, in some way, to Douglas County. Sincerely, Mary D.

WAIT The record of our first weeks Journey has been lost. Kansas, May 28, 1866. We left Lawrence, The party was composed of four families. Mr. MERWIN, Mr. and Mrs. MERWIN, Mrs. Celestia MERWIN, their son Arthur's wife (she was also my sister), Hervy, Hank, Will, Rose and Marshall MERWIN. They had two wagons and eight mules. Hervy had a little pony, buckskin, of a treacherous disposition. Mr. DEMING and wife, a widowed daughter, Louisa, Mrs. HODGE, and her little girl, Ella, about four years old, Fayette, Alphonso and Brier DEMING. Carmine VAUGHN, a friend of the family and a Mr. John PORTER. He had a large black horse named Billy that he rode and boarded with Mr. DEMING. They had two wagons and eight head of mules. A little span used as leaders on the family wagon belonged to Carmine. The other was my father, Isaac WAIT, sister Frances and.myself. wagon and four head of mules. We had one There was another family going with us but were not quite ready and said for us to go on and they would overtake us. They were Moses BALDWIN and wife, Susan, and two children. Nellie, about five years, and Johnnie, about three and a young man, Wesley WALTERS .. They had one wagon and a four horse team, and two saddle horses, Kate and Eagle. I had a side saddle and had many a nice ride on them before we got through. SUNDAY, JUNE 3rd. We have not traveled today. They concluded it would be best to let the teams rest one day out of the week and though Sunday would do as well as any day. Camp has been a busy place. We have been washing, baking and ironing and Mrs. MERWIN is finishing their tent. The men have put in their time laying around in the shade. Carmine's little mule, January, was missing this morning, and Fayette found it about a mile this side of Centreville, where it had been stopped. Carmine was· quite sick all night, but is much better this afternoon. MONDAY. JUNE 4. 1866 Left camp this morning at half past six, drove about twelve miles without accident or adventure, and stopped for dinner about half past ten. Rested a couple of hours and took up the "line of march" again. Mrs. DEMING was so sick with headache that we were obliged to stop about the middle of the afternoon. She is much easier this evening. Soon after starting this morning we passed through the small town of Americus it is situated on both sides of the Red Vermilion. Our road has been through a rough but picturesque country today. This evening the boys are employing their leisure in gymnastic exercises. THE PIONEER, Vol.· XVII, No.1 -20- �DIARY OP OUR TRIP, continued TUESDAY, JUNE 5, 1866 This morning was quite cold, with a strong west wind which increased during the day with frequent showers which made it very disagreeable traveling. We drove twelve miles and camped just this side of the Black Vermilion, about ten o'clock, stayed there about two hours. When they brought up the teams, Father was absent and no one knew where he had gone. The rest got ready and were impatient of.waiting, so I started to hitch up the team myself. Celestia saw what I was doing and came to help me. Then the boys saw what we were doing. They came and helped us, while we were .getting the team ready PORTER and Hervy rode into the timber looking for but did not find him. I was very much worried over his absence. PORTER went again to look for him and met him coming. He had found some nice wild gooseberries. and was so busy picking them he did not realize how long he had been. We traveled about ten miles, did intend to drive to Marysville, but the wind blew so hard they though it would be too hard for the mules and camped five miles from it. This afternoon we passed four wagons bound for Oregon from Texas, had come all the way this spring. They wanted to travel with us but some objected to their company. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 6 Started early and drove close to Marysville and camped and spent the day. We stopped about nine o'clock. The Texans are camped close by, another four wagons came along soon after. They are from near Lawrence and started the same day we did. They are going to California, and both outfits will travel in company with us. The boys have improved their time playing billiards, as they think it will be their last chance for a good while. THURSDAY. JUNE 7 We were in motion about the usual time, crossed a small creek and Pa and Mr. DEMING drove up through town to get some corr.. Marysville is quite a large place, about a mile farther we crossed the Big Blue. It has a good bridge across it. We passed our company this morning, as they were not quite ready but they came up with us before we stopped for dinner. This afternoon we have traveled together making a train of 12 wagons. Tonight we are camped close together in three groups. The wind has blown hard from the South all day, one of our regular Kansas gales. I was in hopes it would go down with the sun, but it has not in the least. FRIDAY. JUNE 8 The wind stopped blowing during the night, and the morning was very pleasant. Our party was ready to move first. We drove a short distance and . ' wa1 ted for the others. As we started again, Mr. MERWIN's white mule team started wi th their usual vim and broke a single tree, which detained us some time. During. the forenoon we came in sight of a mule train going to Idaho. We are camped within a mile of them tonight and will overtake them tomorrow. We met -21- THE PIONEER, Vol. XVII, No.1 �DIARY OF OUR TRIP, continued the overland stage today. Just before stopping for noon, Foney (Alphonse) was driving Fayette's team and dropped one of the lines of the leaders. He stepped out on the wagon tongue to recover it. He slipped and to save himself from falling under the mules feet, jumped to the ground. At that, the team started on a run, jerking and dragging him a short distance, when he fell under the wagon, the hind wheel passing over his limbs just below the knees. No bones were broken, but he was badly bruised. The team ran up against the wagon ahead of it and was caught before it recovered from the shock of the collision. We took dinner on Rock Creek close by a ranch. PORTER put in his time this noon making a checker board on the inside the back of his rubber coat. This afternoon we met a man that had come clear through from Oregon horseback with a pack mule. We drove about a mile off the road and camped on a small creek. SATURDAY, JUNE 9 Soon after starting this morning we passed a station. The women there told Henry a man passed there last week that looked exactly like him. They think it must have been Arthur. The road lay through a very rough country, the ravines being studded with trees, making a pretty scenery. We crossed Little Sandy and Big Sandy during the fo~enoon. Mr. BALDWIN joined us just before noon. He left Lawrence just a week ago today. We stopped for dinner near the Stage station, close to Big Sandy. We drove to the Little Blue this afternoon, and are camped on the bank of it. Some have been fishing but did not catch any. It looks very much like rain tonight. SUNDAY. JUNE 10. 1866 We had a hard rain this morning just before daylight and the wind has blown very hard today till about four o'clock, when it coumenced raining again. Louie, Mrs. MERWIN and I have been washing. Will and Mr. BALDWIN went hunting. The rest have loafed around camp, some sleeping and reading or playing checkers. The sunset was a grand and beautiful scene. The sky was overcast with dark blue clouds, except a small place in the west where the sun shone out in all his glory till it sank below the horizon. A large beautiful rainbow arched the East, and the prairies and foliage seemed to take on a deeper green, making a lovely picture. MONDAY, JUNE 11 Today we have been traveling up the valley of the Little Blue and are now camped this side of where the road leaves the valley, between a deep dry slough and the creek. We made a short drive today owing to the bad conditions of the road. The last few days we have found a profusion of beautiful flowers, unlike any I ever saw on the Kansas prairies. Rose and Frank complain that I have mentioned everyone, but them I will state they have been picking bouquets and presenting them to their favorites, and discussing them as usual. THE PIONEER, Vol. XVII, No.1 -22- �DIARY OP OUR TRIP, continued TUESDAY, JUNE 12 This morning about .two o'clock camp was aroused by the startling news that the creek was rising very fast and we had better get out onto higher ground. Things were piled into wagons and a team hitched to each wagon but by the time that was done a river was running through the slough and the water was allover the ground where our wagons were. There was a little knoll on the bank of the creek and a big tree growing on it at the waters edge. They drove the teams up close as they could, then the men pulled the.wagons up. All the tongues rested on the dry ground, and so we could get into the wagons without wading. Our dry ground space was very small, not large enough to set up a tent on. The mules and horses were tied to the back of the wagons, and standing in water up to their knees. The tree was used as a gage and the men proposed to haul the women up into the tree if the water got deep enough to float the wagons. We were all watching anxiously the progress of the water. It raised very fast for a while, and then gradually decreased. At nine 0' clock it was at a standstill, and remained so a couple of hours, when it began to fall slowly, and has fallen about twelve inches this evening. PORTER went out with his horse a couple of times today, but said it was swimming water all around us. A Dutchman and his wife traveling alone camped on the bottom about a quarter below us. We were at the mouth of the canyon and they were on the broad level bottom and the water did not get much more than hub deep, but they were terribly frightened. When Henry first noticed the danger he .rode down and warned them. They had for a team a horse and a great big old balky mule. He came and called for help a couple of times, but Hervy said he knew they were in no danger, so they got things fixed at our place. Then several of the men went and helped him out. The other part of our train did not go onto the bottom to camp that night. PORTER went over to dry land by swimming his horse, and Will swam over. He said he could not have swam another rod he was so tired. They stayed over all day, and they and some of the men of the other train tried to build a raft, but did not make a success of it. This afternoon they tried to get the mules across to dry land but did not succeed. The boys swam back to our Island. This evening passed pleasantly, Hervy entertaining us with music on the banjo. WEDNESDAY. JUNE 13 The water fell seven inches during the night. They took the stock across to the high ground this morning. Will and John waded across first. The water did not quite come up to their armpits. We have all been washing today. The water is soft as rain water. The boys have been enjoying themselves diving and swimming in an eddy in the bend of the creek. About sundown the night guard went over to take charge of the stock. Some of the women wanted a guard left on the Island, but the boys did not think anyone would come through the water to disturb us. So we sat up t i l l midnight chatting the time away, and then all retired to their respective places of rest. The water has fallen very slowly all day. THURSDAY. JUNE 14 The water has not run down much during the night, but they thought it best to wait no longer, so they raised the wagon boxes six inches, and by going down the creek aways where the slough spread out in the bottom they got out without -23- THE PIONEER, Vol. XVII, No.1. �DIARY OF OUR TRIP, continued any trouble. The side saddle was put on Billy and all the women but Mrs. MERWIN, Mrs. BALDWIN and the Dutch woman rode over on him. Hervy carried Ella and Nellie over in his arms on horseback. It was about eleven 0 ' clock when we all were once more on solid ground. We traveled about twelve miles and camped on the Blue again, but above high water mark this time. Mrs. DEMING has a sick headache this evenl.ng. FRIDAY. JUNE 15 Started early and drove about a mile and had to leave the main road on account of high water and go way round on the prairie some six miles to get the distance of two. We crossed Thirty-Two Mile creek during the forenoon. Hervy put the side saddle on one of the sorrel nwles and Celestia rode till noon. Mrs. MERWIN drove the wagon that she rode in, but they only worked one team to do it and changed teams every day. The boys rode the teams that had the day off. Mr. MERWIN walked nearly all the way. We stopped for dinner a quarter of a mile from the Little Blue. Hank, Hervy and PORTER went hunting this afternoon. They shot an antelope but did not hit it. Hank and Hervy came back to the train in a couple of hours but PORTER did not come till after we were camped. We are on Elm Creek. It 1S a small stream with an occasional lone tree along its banks. SATURDAY. JUNE 16 It was sprinkling when we got up this morning and looked very much as through it was going to rain hard, but it passed around us. Father went off the road hunting and I drove the team most of the forenoon. Several of the men were hunting but did not get any game. Our camp is just at the edge of the Platte bottom. Several of the party went to the grave of Mrs. Susan Waite. She died in the year of 1852. We looked through the opera glasses from the top of one of the neighboring hills and could see the flag waving at Fort Kearney, a distance of eighteen miles. SUNDAY, JUNE 17 We started about seven o'clock and traveled up the beautiful valley of the Platte. Part of the time the road was along the bank of a channel that runs out into the prairie. Passed through Valley City, a small place built mostly of sod. We stopped for dinner about three miles from Fort Kearny and some of the men went on to the Fort to see what was to be done. The authorities said for us to come on and organize. We passed through the Port. It is a very pretty place and drove within a quarter of a mile of Kearney City and camped near the train that was waiting for. us. Here we found our former company that left us on the Island. MONDAY. June 18 This morning just as we were ready to start, Arthur came riding up to camp. He was on his way to Lawrence and had left his train at Cottonwood Springs, and rode on to meet us, He is going back with the train till he meets his freight train. Then he is going to take Celestia back to Lawrence. When he' gets his business settled he will come after us. Mrs. WALTERS said that Mrs. BALDWIN was expecting to overtake him at Kearney joined us this morning, with the span of THE PIONEER, Vol XVII, No. 1 -24- �DIARY OF OUR TRIP, continued horses he was expected to bring. A Mr. SNOW and another man PORTER was expecting to overtake us at Kearney were part of a day's drive back of us, and the train did not want to wait for them. PORTER remained there, waiting for them. We are camped near the Platte tonight with our wagons formed into a corral with the stock pocketed around the outside. TUESDAY. JUNE 19 The teams were brought up about the usual time, but Carmine left his mules "loose for a while and the little rogues took the back track post haste. An hour was spent getting them back again. We had not drove far till we came up with Mr. PORTER and SNOW. They had passed us during the night. Just before noon we came to Arthur's train camped off the road aways. We drove to one side of the road, set out their things, and bid them goodbye. Stopped for dinner on the bank of the Platte. After dinner we resumed our journey up the Platte. During the afternoon we passed through another sod town and camped for the night within a half mile of the river. Some one in the crowd played the violin and the boys danced on the sod. WEDNESDAY, June 20 There was some dissatisfaction last night with the wagon master. He wants our folks to turn their stock loose and herd it with his. They will not do it, so he threatened to report them. Our party started out first this morning and drove like "Jehu" to get away from the captain. This afternoon they drove more moderate and the most of the train came up with us. The boss is camped about half mile from us with his eight wagons. After the work was done the violin was brought out, and a merrie company gathered and danced by the light of the moon. THURSDAY. JUNE 21 The forenoon's drive was monotonous as usual. After dinner, Wes wanted to know if I would like to ride the pony Kate. Of course I was agreeable. He saddled another horse for his use. She was a very nervous, touchy creature and had never been rode by a woman. She frisked around pretty lively for a while but soon quieted down and I had a very nice ride. We passed a small military post where the train was examined to see if it fulfilled the requirements of the government. Three miles farther we came to Cottonwood Springs. Camped on the Platte again. The evening was spent as usual with music and dancing. FRIDAY. JUNE 22 This morning Hervy put the side saddle on Buckskin for the girls to ride, but they were afraid to venture it and wanted me to ride him first. I had a pleasant ride and did not get hurt or my neck broken as some predicted. We stopped for dinner near Fremont's Springs. Part of our company drove on and are still ahead tonight. Our musicians are with them. We are some distance from the river tonight. Mrs. MERWIN has a sick headache this evening and Johnny BALDWIN is quite sick. -25- THE PIONEER, VoL XVII, No. 1 �DIARY OF OUR TRIP, continued SATURDAY. JUNE 23 We left the valley soon after starting and drove on the hills for a while. Then we came down a high steep hill to the river again. The road was along the foot of the bluffs. The scenery was grand. About ten o'clock we camped near the bank of the Platte, and the rest of the day has been spent in washing, baking, and so forth. The Indians have been in camp all the afternoon. They were very profuse in their demonstrations of friendship. We met some Soldiers this morning and Hervy stopped with them. He was to come on tonight but has not arrived yet. The boys spent the evening with gymnastic exerC1se. We remained in camp till eleven 0' clock, passed a station soon after starting near which was about fifty Indian lodges. The boys got off their steeds to ride in the wagons and Rose and Frank appropriated them and rode up with me. Then we went ahead to get some good drinking water. Came to the Stage Station but did not like the looks of the gemmen so we went to a ranch a short distance ahead and got some excellent water to drink and waited there till the train came up. There were only men living there but they were gentlemanly fellows and made themselves quite agreeable. The girls rode till they camped and we had a fine ride. MONDAY, JUNE 25 We started this morning about S1X and drove till eleven. Little Johnny is some better. The captain has a very sick child. This afternoon was very sultry for awhile. Then the wind blew up from the North, making it cool and pleasant. Rose, Frank and I walked the last two miles of the drive. We found some red blossoms of the cactus that were very pretty. TUESDAY, JUNE 26 It has been very cool and pleasant for traveling today • During the forenoon we passed the Beauvis Ranch, near the old California crossing. Camped tonight a mile this side of Julesburg. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 27 The fording was so deep and the water was falling so fast they though it best to wait until tomorrow to ford, so we have been in camp all day. Will sprained his ankle today. The sick children are a little better. THURSDAY. JUNE 28 Left camp about seven and drove up to the ford. They raised the wagon beds eight inches, doubled the teams and proceeded to cross, with two horsemen to each team to whip them through, for they did not dare to stop· a minute for the quicksand. It was about three quarters of a mile across. Mrs. MERWIN's wagon was among the first to cross and was freighted with women and children. Our wagon was in the second part to cross. I wished to watch the others come over, and the others had been watching till they were tired, so Mrs. MERWIN gave me THE PIONEER, Vol. XVII, No.1 -26- �DIARY OF OUR TRIP, continued one of the glasses and I went down to the bank. I had not been there long till a couple of the women of the other party of the train came. They were soon joined by a gentleman who made several unsuccessful attempts at conversation with them. Then he turned to me. He was a very agreeable companion. He had been in Oregon and spoke very favorably of it. The whole of our company did not get over till after three o'clock. They let the teams graze a while, then drove to Pole Creek and camped about sundown. FRIDAY, JUNE 29 We started early, the right wing taking the lead. They drove about seventeen miles. and camped off the road on the creek for dinner. The captain was in the rear and went in the opposite direction to camp. The two wagons of bachelors followed our party. We stopped nearly three hours, and captain got the lead. About four he started to look out a camping place. He started at a right angle with the teams, went to the creek half mile distant, then signaled, but his party did not notice him and kept on. Then he trotted along aways and waved his hat. They saw him and turned around and drove back to him, but our party were not disposed to camp so early and kept on five miles farther and camped on the creek again. Soon after we stopped Will and Mose came in with two young antelope. SATURDAY, JUNE 30 Started about the usual time, and drove about seven miles, to where the road crosses and leaves Pole Creek, where stopped for dinner. PORTER left DEMING this morning and went with Mr, SNOW. Mrs. BALDWIN told Rose she might ride their Jenny that was having a rest from the harness today, so she put the side saddle on her and PORTER let Frank take Billy. We crossed the creek and climbed up a long hill onto a ridge not much wider than the road. The girls got· tired of riding, and I mounted Jenny and Hervy joined me. We had not gone far till a hail storm broke suddenly upon us and the teams were badly frightened. I thought some of them would go off that hogback sown into the canyons. They got tangled up so they could not do much but kick and thrash around. Some of them were jammed but none seriously hurt. The storm was soon spent, .and we proceeded on our way. I rode a little farther. Then Mrs. BALDWIN got on Jenny, and Wes told me to take Kate and ride with her. We rode till they went back into camp. Near where we stopped was a deep hole dug for a well, but they did not get water. SUNDAY, JULY 1 The road has been on ridge with a very rough broken country on either side. We descended the hill and watered the stock at Mud Springs, drove about a mile, stopped and got dinner. Resumed our journey half after two and soon came in sight of the court house rock. We crossed a creek of good size but it was dry. The water was sunk in the sand. Those that were riding near the Bluffs said it was a beautiful running stream when they crossed it. They call it Pumpkin Creek. Two miles farther we came to a small stream near the Rock. We camped a ways this side of it. After supper, Rose, Frank and some of the boys went up to the Rock. The Captain is camped a short distance ahead of us tonight. -27- THE PIONEER, Vol. XVII, So. 1 �DIARY OF OUR TRIP, continued MONDAY, JULY 2 They got ready to start nearly an hour earlier than usual. The DEMINGS were not ready when the rest were and showed no disposition to hurry, so after waiting for them twenty minutes, we drove off and left them. The Cap's outfit was hitching up as we passed, and DEMING soon overtook them. They passed us in camp at noon and bade us goodbye. We passed them at night and camped a mile this side of them. After supper the boys played the violin and some danced. We stopped for dinner on the North Platte and camped close to it tonight near a Ranch. Passed Chimney Rock during the afternoon. TUESDAY, JULY 3 Started about six and traveled up the valley with Scott's Bluffs towering in the foreground, forming a grand and beautiful scenery. Passed through the narrow defile of the Bluffs, and came down by Port Mitchell situated at its base, halted for dinner half mile this side of the Fort on a small branch of the river. The Captain came up near us and camped. Then stopped a while to chat with the girls and boys. Half past one we were on the march again. Drove 17 miles, crossed Horse Creek, came on a mile and camped near a ranch and several Indian lodges. Drove about thirty five miles today. WEDNESDAY, JULY 4 The morning was fine and we were on the road early. Hervy rode on ahead to Laramie. We drove 12 miles over the sand hills, stopped for dinner in a valley by a small stream of water that is clear and cold with lots of fish in it, but none were caught. Mrs. MERWIN, Mrs. BALDWIN and I went up the creek about a mile ahead of the teams and found a spring of excellent water. We traveled ten miles this afternoon. The Platte was on our right, with many small Islands covered with small trees and shrubs. The sand hills and bluffs were close on our left, making a very pretty scenery. We camped near the river. It looked like it was going to storm hard but passed off with a light shower. Hervy came back to camp about dark. He says they think at Larimie that the Indians will be troublesome in a few weeks. They are all gathered in near the Forts now for a conference with government officials and are on good behavior. THURSDAY. JULY 5 We drove twelve miles and stopped for dinner on the bank of the Platte. In the afternoon we drove five mile~ and crossed Laramie river on a bridge. A short distance farther they stopped to water the teams. I put the saddle on Eagle and rode till we camped. He was gay, ran away with me when Mose cracked his whip at him. Port Larimie is about a mile up the creek from the crossing, and about the same distance from where we passed it. We drove a mile and a half from the Fort, and camped on a small ranch of the Platte. Hank was riding one o~ the white mules today and rode up to the Port. Just as they were leaving, h1s revolver went off accidentally, the ball passing through the saddle skirt, THE PIONEER, Vol. XVII, No.1 -28- �DIARY OP OUR TRIP, continued into the mule. It lived about two hours after the accident. About sundown the captain's outfit came and camped close by. It showered all the evening. Rose spent the evening in our wagon. She and Prank sang the "Octoroom" and "Cottage Round the Corner" and several other songs. The boys amused themselves by singing and as they were close by, we had the benefit of the most of it. PRIDAY. JULY 6 This morning was rainy and disagreeable. Cap went back to the Port, and brought out the Sergeant to organize the train. He inspected Cap's·part first, then came to inspect ours. Some dissatisfaction was expressed and the Sergeant went and brought Cap to our camp and they talked the matter over, but Cap would not agree to let our folks do as they liked with their stock. So the Sergeant told our folks they could go on with the first company that came along, and the Cap would stay awhile. Jon and Carmine made our camp a visit, we have all been very busy baking today, camp has the appearance of an extensive ·bakery. This afternoon Mrs. M, Rose, Prank and I went to the creek bathing. Wes tended the bread and Porter the coffee while we were gone. SATURDAY, JULY 7 This day has been spent with the usual cooking and eating and talking. "Our" wagon master's train came along and the Captain's outfit are going on with the ox train, also one wagon from our party that were going to Salt Lake. The musicians and two more of our bachelor friends parted company with us. Carmine and Fayette came to bid us goodbye. Mr. SNOW bid adieu to camp this forenoon to return to Lawrence. George HOUCK and Hank MERWIN are going to Virginia City with the team. Just before sundown Mrs. B and I went up on the hills and the beautiful scenery was well worth the trouble of climbing the hills. Part of the company gathered in a social group and passed the brief evening pleasant with singing. SUNDAY. JULY 8 This is a lovely morning and memory loves to linger over the many happy hours spent with dear friends, that have now drifted far apart on the tide of life, and some have been released from the cares of this world to try the unknown realities of another. Hervy and Pa went to the Fort this morning to make arrangements for moving on. They gave them permission to move up the valley a few miles farther and go on with the first train that came along, be it mule or ox train. THe teams were brought up as soon as they returned. We drove aways over the sand hills, and came down a long steep hill into the valley again. Passed a ranch near the base of the Bluffs. We came six or seven miles and camped close to the bank of the river. MONDAY t JULY 9 The rest .of the young men that remained Preeman and SC1nsy bade us all goodby,.but Hank for anybody. (Preeman was drowned in the Big PORTER,Wes and Pa went back to the Fort this -29- with us drove on this morning, and the rest left without a word Horn before they got through). evening to see if any teams had THE PIONEER, Vol. XVII, No.1 �DIARY OP A TRIP, continued come. They found several ox trains but they were going to Montana. Our folks resol ved to go on to the next Station. We started at two .0' clock, came along the base of a large Bluff that was covered up as far as a person could reach with names and dates of those that have passed that way. A sho~t distance farther we passed a ranch, and soon ascended the Black Hills where we have passed through a varied a beautiful scenery. About sundown we came to the Bitter Cottonwood. It was dry where we crossed. We drove down it a ways and found good water. There was no grass, so they drove up on the hills, where they found a little grass. It was quite dark when we camped. it seemed very lonesome with our four wagons, the smallest company since we left Lawrence. TUESDAY. JULY 10 The teams were brought up this morning soon as it began to get light. We drove about eight miles and stopped for breakfast at Twin Springs. The water bubbles up out of the ground and forms a little rivulet. We resumed our journey about eleven, came four miles and passed a ranch, where they told our folks the boys had camped near there last night and the S.S. train had stopped for dinner the day before. A short distance farther we crossed the beautiful mountain stream Horseshoe and drove to the Elkhorn, where we camped down in the basin near a deserted ranch. The S. S. train was just across the creek when we came but drove on about five. Soon after crossing Horseshoe, we passed the new road laid out to Virginia City. WEDNESDAY. JULY 11 Started again this morning before sunrise, came across a very hilly country, passed the S. Sp. train and Captain's camped on the Labontia. We crossed the creek and camped in the shade of the grove. We stopped about two hours. A short distance from the creek we passed a Port. Mr. TAYLOR was there. He said DEMING went the "Cutoff" to Virginia City. Drove five miles to Wagonhound Creek, where they found excellent grass and turned the teams out to graze, as good feed was scarce. About four the other outfit came along. Soon after we started, drove eight miles and camped near some springs. The other outfit is camped within half a mile of us. Was in hopes they would come close so we could hear the boys play the violin once more. THURSDAY. JULY 12 We had an early breakfast, and got started soon after sunrise. The other party fell in our rear as we came along. Drove to the Saferelle and stopped for dinner. It is a very pretty stream and abounds in fish. There were quite a lot caught but they were small. The Cap camped close to us, and Mr. TAYLOR and Charlie called on us. At two we were ready to march again. During the afternoon we crossed the small stream Box Elder. It is the one that the KELLY party were attacked on and Johny taken prisoner. We are camped near the banks of the Platte again and the other party.are in sight.· TO BE CONTINUED THE PIONEER, Vol. XVII, No. 1 -30- �ELIZABETH CAROLINE DOBBINS Douglas County Resident - 1856 to 1863 Researched by Bobby Dobbins Title 914 N. Lacy St., Santa Ana, CA 92701 Elizabeth Caroline Dobbins (my great aunt) was born in Fulton County, Illinois, on January 24, 1831. She moved to Douglas County, Kansas in 1856, and died in Bent County, Colorado on January 27, 1922.

The letter was found in John Winton's Pension Records. It outlines a sorrowful life. December 19, 1898 to Mr. Joseph W. Hunter, Washington, D.C. I received yours of the 9th yesterday. I am very sorry to hear that John Winton had just been readmitted into the National Home for D.V.S. in Leavenworth Co., Kansas on the 14th of last November and died on the 28th and I had written to the doctor asking what was the cause of his death but have not got my answer yet--will probably get it today or tomorrow. Can you give me some of the names of his commanders? -31- THE PIONEER, Vol. XVII, No.1 �BLIZABKTII CAROLINE DOBBINS. continued Now I will tell you something of the former part of our . lives. John R•. Winton and I were married at a hotel in Lawrence, Ks. on the 26th day of October in 1857 by a Camalite (sic) minister and we lived at what was then Prairie City, now called Media, Douglas County, Kansas, until about 1863 in the spring. We then went to Dayton, Kentucky where we lived until the fall of 1881, when John R. Winton came home in July that year with a very loathsome case of gonorrhea. In all those years we had had four children, two girls in Kansas and two boys in Kentucky. Now in 1881 we just had one daughter living, about 18 years old. She was already very sickly so I was compelled to leave him. I staid (sic) in Dayton till in December 1881, then came here to Las Animas to my brother and have been right here ever since. John wandered about from one Home to another, up in Wisconsin, at Leavenworth and Dayton, Ohio, and finally wanted to come back to me. He said he was well and wanted to come to Kansas. I had not applied for a divorce but. heard that he had, but he denied ever getting a divorce but I said I would not live with him unless he married me again. So you see he came here to my home that I had earned all myself and had three hundred and ninety-eight dollars laid by, beside taking care of my daughter and making the living for her. She died in December 1885, and now my money is all gone and I have broke myself down waiting on Him, for he has ben sick nearly ever since he had come here. I have been an invalid ever since last May, am scarcely able to cook a bite for myself. Can you do anything in this way if we cannot with the old law? Elizabeth was granted a pension, and lived alone another 24 years before passing away in Las Animas, Colorado·at the age of 91.

The deceased was' taken sick with the disease which terminated her life the first day of September last, and suffered exceedingly for nearly five weeks, when death ended her sufferings. She died of typhoid fever. Lillie was always inclined to religious thought and teaching, and in her breast throbbed a warm and tender heart. She was always ready to do good in any way that she could, and always appeared happy., even. in the midst of troubles. The funeral service was held at the mother's residence in West Lawrence on October 6 at 2 o'clock p.m., conducted by Rev. Walter Scott, pastor of the Free Methodist Church at Lawrence. The bereaved mother has not only had the care of the one just departed, but has also had the care of her son, who was on another bed at the same time, suffering with the same disease.

She lives in Santa Ana, CA, works full time but still finds time to do this for us. Her reason for helping is because in the past she received such good information from THE PIONEER she wanted to do what she could to keep this publication going. We do thank her, a lot. She did the last issue, Vol 17, No. 1 and will continue for a while. With her help we will be caught up in no time. However, to do this we will need input from the rest of the members. If you have any information that you have gleaned or put together and would like it to be published in THE PIONEER please get it to me. This publication is made up of only material donated by members. Send it to me, Mary Burchill, at our P.O. Box. The following books have been purchased by the Douglas County, Kansas, Genealogical Society and placed in our Library as a memorial to Claude Smith.

Vol. XVII. No.2 �DEATH NOTICE Junction City Republic, Junction City Kansas June 29, 1937 s. W. MUHNZENMAYBR A cablegram received Friday told of the death in a Tokyo Japan hospi tal of Samuel W. Muenzenmayer, aged 68 years. He and his wife went to Japan some months ago, planning to spend a year with their children, and while it was known that his health was not good, it was not known that his condition was so serious. Mrs. Muenzenmayer was a son of the late J.J. Muenzenmayer, Lyona pioneer, where he grew up, and farmed for some years, later engaging in the hardware busi~ess in Woodbine, where later moving to Baldwin, Kansas, while his children were attending Baker University. His children in Japan are engaged in religious and educational work. Surviving are the widow and four children, Mrs. Floyd Roberts, Warren Muenzenmayer, and Miss Naomi Muenzenmayer, all of whom are in Japan, Mrs. Everett Staatz of Lyona; two. brothers, Henry Muenzenmayer of Junction City and Edward Muenzenmayer of Woodbine; three sisters, Mrs. L. F. Volkmann, Junction City, Mrs. Helen Klamm, of Detroit, Kansas, Mrs. George Glamm, of Kansas Ci ty, Kansas, and many nephews, nieces and friends. Mr. Muenzenmayer was a public spirited c1t1zen. In his residence at Woodbine, he served the city as mayor, was active in the educational affairs of that city, and while in Baldwin, also served that city as mayor. On his farm in the Lyona section he built a small lake and picnic grounds, attractively arranged, and which he allowed the public to use without charge for many years. He and his wife had a summer cottage at the lake and usually spent part of each summer there. The funeral arrangements have not been announced. THE PIONEER, Vol. XVII, No. 2 -69- �A DIARY OF oUR TRIP ACROSS THE PLAINS - 1866 By Delila B. Wait ·Part 2 FRIDAY. JULY 13 We came eight miles this morning and crossed Deer Creek, a short distance from the creek is a ranch and an old fort. Drove a few miles farther and stopped for dinner near the river. One of the soldiers came out and took dinner with Hervy. In the afternoon we drove about fifteen miles and camped in a beautiful p~ace close to the r1ver. SATURDAY. JULY 14 We got up soon as it was light and drove within a short distance of Platte bridge, and stopped for dinner. There are a good many soldiers here and several visited our camp. When Cap's outfit came along we all crossed the bridge and camped just this side of it. A party of three wagons joined us at the Bridge. A Mrs. OWENS and two daughters and two sons, one of the sons has been in Oregon and went back to bring his folks out. There is a young man traveling with them. They have two wagons. The other is an ox team with two men. About three we started and drove eight miles and camped halfway up the mountain side to get away from the mosquitos. The other party went on but found the mosquitos so thick they had to go onto higher ground. SUNDAY. JULY 15 Started early this morning and drove about seventeen miles and camped near some excellent springs where we found the rest of the train. Stayed there four hours and made another drive of ten miles. Several of the boys went out hunting, and when night came Charley and a son of Mr. BAUGHERS were missing. Several men have gone to search for them. Just before night the owner of Platte Bridge and the telegraph operator, intimate friends of Hervy's came into camp and stayed overnight. MONDAY. JULY 16 Camp was considerably excited over the missing boys. They hunted until midnight and were getting ready to go again this morning when they heard guns fired up the road. They answered them and soon saw them coming. They staid eight miles ahead of us. We started at 7, drove eight miles to a creek, watered the stock and came on to Sweetwater, crossed the bridge and camped just this side of it. We got here at one o'clock. After dinner all the men but Hervy went out on the mountains hunting. There is an old Fort close to the bridge, and the men that stayed with Hervy stop there. Mr. BERNARD spent most of his time with Hervy and the other fellow visited with the OWENS. Hervy proposed to Rose, Prank and -70- THE PIONEER, Vol. XVII, No.2 �DIARY OP OUR TRIP continued myself to take a walk to the Port and other places of interest he wished to show us and his friend. We went to the Fort where the telegraph office is kept, spent half hour pleasantly there, then went to the graves of soldiers that were killed by Indians here. Prom there we went to Alkali Lake then back t6 the Port, where we were pleasantly entertained by the gentlemen, we were shown some beautiful stones that had been collected by one of the gentlemen, and he told us to select one each to keep as a souvenir. Then we went to Independence Rock, climbed to the top of it and amused ourselves reading the names that have been carved on it and viewing the beautiful scenery from the summit. Mr. BERNARD returned to camp with us and remained till after supper, when he bade us goodbye for he starts back to Platte bridge tonight. I think he is very pleasant and interesting. (After we got through we heard the men stationed at this Fort were killed by Indians not very long after we passed.) Hervy MERWIN had been a soldier on the plains and was familiar with all this country. THURSDAY. JULY 17 We started before breakfast this morning, and came about eight miles up the river, where we stopped, and spent the remainder of the day. The women put in their time washing and baking, and the men theirs hunting and scaling the mountains. A while before sundown, Rose, Prank and I started for a visit to the Devils Gate a half mile distant. John and West soon joined us. We climbed over into the canyon, and went out on a rock in the river as far as we could, and climbed over two thirds of the way to the top of the mountain, when we got out of the canyon, the shades of night had gathered around our little valley. WEDNESDAY. JULY 18 Last night some of the cattle were driven away from the herd, they were followed. and recovered about eight miles from camp, a man was found with them. Drove fifteen miles, and camped near the foot of the mountains. Mrs. B, Rose, Prank and I spent some time climbing over the rocks. Mr. Merwin and Father started out soon after dinner for an afternoon hunt. Wes helped me hitch up the team, as one of our leaders was such a mean creature I could not handle him, and I drove during the afternoon. We came about eight miles, and camped on the r1ver. The hunters did not get any game. THURSDAY. JULY 19 We started at six and drove to the three crossings and stopped for dinner. They found we could not cross the creek, so we came up through the sand hills and camped near where the other road came back across the river. TIlE PIONEER, Vol. XVII, No. 2 -71- �DIARY OF OUR TRIP continued FRIDAY, JULY 20 Dur~ng the forenoon the antelope were thick along the road, and most of the men were trying to kill one, but Will was the only successful one. In the afternoon Pa saddled one of the mules and went out from the road a ways, but did not get any game. We are camped on a small creek tonight near two graves that were made the eighth of June, 1966. One was killed accidentally, the other was killed by one of his party. SATURDAY. JULY 21 We were off by six, and drove till eleven. Camped near some excellent springs. In the afternoon we drove to the Sweetwater and stopped for the night. Cap stayed at the Springs. SUNDAY . JULY 22 Started about the usual time and drove eight miles. Camped on a small creek. near a station where some soldiers were stopping. Several of them visited camp. Some were quite nice looking fellows. A short time before we were ready to start for the afternoon drive, the other party came up. We came over to Pacific Springs and camped three miles this side. The other party stopped within two miles of us. Today we crossed the summit of the South Pass of the Rocky Mountains. MONDAY, JULY 23 Drove to Los Creek and took dinner. Came on to Little Sandy and camped for the night. The Sandy is nearly as large as Sweetwater. TUESDAY, JULY 24 We came about nine miles to Big Sandy and took dinner on it.. In the afternoon we drove some eighteen or twenty miles and camped on the Big Sandy again. WEDNESDAY, JULY 25 Came to Green River, ferried over and drove a few miles this side and stopped for dinner. In the afternoon we drove twelve miles and camped on a high bluff overlooking the river, and turned the stock down on the bottom to graze. -72- THE PIONEER, Vol. XVII, No. 2 �DIARY OF OUR TRIP continued THURSDAY, JULY 26 It was seven when we were ready to move this morning. Came about twelve miles over a very rough country. Stopped for dinner about a half mile from a small creek. Mrs. BALDWIN and I walked down to the creek after dinner. It is so narrow one could jump across it in many places. The water is from two to four feet deep and has a milky look as it runs in the stream. We travelled up the creek during the afternoon, crossed over and camped just this side of it. FRIDAY. JULY 27 This afternoon we have been climbing the eastern slope of Bear rl.ver mountains. We came down into a deep narrow valley through which ran a small stream of water. We stopped for dinner near a fine spring of water that issues from the mountain side at the roots of a large gooseberry bush. Most of the folks are employing their leisure putting their names upon the rocks. The country was more mountainous this afternoon. We came down a long steep hill and crossed a little rivulet at its base. A short distance farther crossed a creek and came a few miles farther to a small valley with a beautiful stream of water running through it. We crossed over and camped. Mr. MERWIN and Father said they were going to get some snow that was in sight, but they returned without any. It was a good deal farther off than they had calculated. Just before sundown we had a pleasant shoer. The intention tonight is to remain here a day or two to let the teams rest, for they have had a hard time since we left Sweetwater. SATURDAY, JULY 28 This day has been spent very much like all our days of rest. The men folks have been hunting but killed no game larger than sage hens and ducks. In the afternoon Hervey, Alf, Rose, Mollie and Prank started to go to the snow, but when they climbed the first mountain they all agreed they did not want snow bad enough to go on after it. They gathered some beautiful flowers on the mountainside. About sundown the Texas party came along and camped a short distance ahead of us. They parted company with the Captain JAVIN at the ferry. SUNDAY, JULY 29 Started about six and have had a succession of up and down hill, and mud holes all the forenoon. We crossed the spur of the mountain and came down into the valley of Hams fork, came down the valley a mile and crossed a couple of small mountain streams, one of which had its source in a large spring. The spring was some thirty feet in diameter and about fifteen deep. The water boiled THE PIONEER, Vol. XVII, No.2 -73- �DIARY OF OUR TRIP continued up through the white sand in the bottom but the surface was calm and unruffled and reflected the sky and surroundings, so that at a distance the water looked blue as indigo. It was beautiful. We came across Hans fork and stopped for dinner. When we were crossing the mountain, the boys got a pail of snow, which was appreciated after the fatigue of climbing the mountain. Soon after dinner it began to rain, and they decided to remain where we were. Nearly everyone has been fishing but few were caught. MONDAY, JULY 30 First thing this morning was to climb a long steep hill, which was rather difficult owing to the slippery condition of the road. We came over the spur onto a valley some five miles in width, crossed it, and stopped for dinner at a little spring brook near the top of the mountain. In the afternoon we passed through a beautiful grove of Balsam Fir. We descended the mountain into Bear River Valley. Passed a large train bound for Montana. We went down the valley several miles and camped within two miles of the river. TUESDAY, JULY 31 We proceeded down the valley along the base of some mountains, crossed a creek on a bridge near a ranch and some nice looking folks occupied it. We came down the river several miles and took dinner on a small branch of the river. In the afternoon we crossed Thompson's fork. It is a good sized stream with a bridge across it. We then came over a spur of the mountains and camped in a very pretty valley. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 1 We crossed another spur of the mountains and onto an extensive valley. Came down it a couple of miles and camped near a ranch. After dinner we came about seven miles, to a Mormon village where we stopped for an hour or more, trading wi th the people. They had some nice looking wheat fields and gardens. They have to irrigate all the ground they cultivate. They have cattle, and butter is the staple product. We came on four or five miles farther and camped on the left bank of a beautiful mountain stream. Several of the Mormon women came to camp and we made various swaps. THURSDAY, AUGUST 2 We did not start till an hour after our usual time for starting, as several wanted to trade more. Hervy bought a beautiful grey horse. Drove about ten miles, and stopped for dinner on a small creek a mile and a half from the river. -74- THE PIONEER, Vol. XVII, No.2 �DIARY OF OUR TRIP continued Several went to the river fishing and ~ather had not returned were ready to start. Mr. PORTER helped Frank and I to get our had to wait some twenty minutes for Pa, During the afternoon another ox train, bound for West Bannock. We camped in a very the head of a small stream. when the others team ready. We we came up with pretty place at FRIDAY, AUGUST 3 During the forenoon we came to the far fam~d Soda Springs. They were a short distance from the road and we all went to see the largest one. The water boils up out of a rock basin and runs down into a good sized affluent of Bear Ri ver. A red substance settles on the rocks wherever the water passes over them. There are several houses and a store near the springs. About a mile from the Springs we came to the main village· situated at the base of the hills near the brink of the river. It is a beautiful place, with the lofty mountains standing in sublime grandeur on every side, and the river winding along at their base. In the afternoon we passed a soda fountain some six feet in diameter. It was enclosed in a basin a foot or more in height, which is continually forming from the water. The valley was very rough, there being numerous extinct craters. We camped near a spring on the side of the mountain. SATURDAY. AUGUST 4 Started nearly an hour earlier than usual this morning to get the start of the ox train that was close behind us. The features of the country this forenoon were very much the same as yesterday. We crossed a small creek and drove down it a short distance, and stopped for dinner. Some teams from Snake river, on their way to Soda Springs for lumber, camped near us. The afternoon has been quite showery and chilly. We camped tonight on the same creek we took dinner on. SUNDAY. AUGUST 5 This morning was very cold. We drove a few miles and crossed a small stream on a toll bridge. (All bridges are toll bridges on the plains and it is a big item of expense). We wound our devious way around and over the hills, then entered a canyon and travelled up it till we came to a small valley, where we stopped for dinner. In the afternoon our road lay through deep canyons with rugged mountains on either side. We came· to a creek on which we found lots of June berries. We travelled down the creek some distance and camped on it at night. THE PIONEER, Vol. XVII, No.2 -75- �DIARY OF OUR TRIP continued MONDAY. AUGUST 6 Came twelve or fourteen miles, and took dinner on a creek of good size. Several nice fish were caught. We crossed the creek on a bridge, passed a stage station and came up a nice valley with several ranches. We crossed Snake river on the ferry and camped just below it. This was the Old Fort Hall crossing. TUESDAY. AUGUST 7 BALDWINS and ourselves were some behind time. When the rest started they went off on a wrong road and we went on the right one. We had not gone far till PORTER overtook us, saying the others had stopped for the day back aways. We found a good place to camp close to the river. I caught a nice large trout soon after we camped. Everyone was fishing and had good success. Just before sundown Hervy rode into camp saying the rest were coming. They all expressed their regret at the misunderstanding that separated us, for Mr. MERWIN told us they were going to drive twelve miles before stopping. WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 8 Mrs. B and I have been very busy washing and baking, and the men folks have been fishing and caught a lot. We salted them down and will have fish for some time. About three o'clock we started, intending to make half of the thirty mile drive without water that we were told about at the Perry. Came about a mile and filled the water kegs from an excellent spring. Drove another mile and passed the Texans in camp. Came about eight miles farther and found grass and plenty of water, so they struck camp. THURSDAY. AUGUST 9 We were on the road early, drove five miles, and came to another nice spring of water. Several miles farther we met a man who said it was only fourteen miles to water. Some eight miles farther we met another man who said it was then twenty miles before we came to water. About noon we stopped for an hour and let the stock graze. We drove till nearly sundown and found water in a canyon on the East side of the Butte, but there is very little feed. The country is very rough and covered with sagebrush. FRIDAY. AUGUST 10 Camp was aroused about three o'clock, but some time was consumed hunting up the stock. It was after four before we got started. Drove about nine miles and came to the beautiful stream Lost River. Watered there and came on a couple of miles and camped for breakfast, where we remained until one 0 ' clock. The road 1S along the river several miles, then strikes across the desert of sage brush. We came about fifteen miles and camped without water, but the feed was very good. -76- THE PIONEER, Vol. XVII, No.2 �DIARY OF OUR TRIP continued The timber on a stream off to our right was in sight. Father insisted it was not over two miles or less to it, while so~e of the others said it was ten miles. So he took his lunch and a small bucket and said he would go to it and back before dark. It is now nine o'clock and he is not back yet. I have kept a candle burning on top of the wagon, but our wagons are in a hollow and he will not be able to see t~~ light very far. The boys went up the road several times before they retired and fired of their revolvers. SATURDAY. AUGUST 11 We started without breakfast and just as we were ready to start Father came into camp. He had found the road early in the evening but couldn't tell which was the right way, and traveled in the wrong direction. As soon as it was light enough to see he knew he was ahead of the train. In five miles we came to the junction of the Virginia City road. About ten miles farther we came to water, where we stopped four hours. Several miners from both ways stopped near us. The country over which we traveled this afternoon has been very rough. We climbed up over a very steep, stony hill and camped near a spring at the foot of the mountain. There was a party of miners and some emigrants from Idaho going to the States, camped near us. TO BE CONTINUED HELPFUL HINTS FOR KANSAS RESEARCHERS In July of 1856, a special committee appointed by the U.S. House of Representatives submitted a report on the "Kansas Troubles." This report, containing over 20,000 names of early Kansas residents, is on microfilm at most major universities. In 1984 an index to these names was created by Robert A. Hodge, 417 Pelham Street, Fredericksburg, Virginia 22401 in honor of his great grandfather, Hammond Clark Muzzy. This index is in book form. Mr. Hodge has indexed the names exactly as they appear 1n the Committee Report. Therefore, one must be creative in thinking of alternative spellings of a family surname. Your editor found her COREL family in this report under the following spellings: CORRELL, CURL, CARE, CARLL, CAROL, CARLES, CARROLL, CORL and CORAL.

TO BE CONTINUED ,fl------OO-E-S-Y-O-UR--P-AM-I-L-Y-S-P-EAK--.-.S-C-O-T-C-H---IR-I-S-H-"-?-~ This American speech ... is at least two centuries old. It was recognized in the colonies even before the War of Independence, and identified at first in ethnic rather than regional terms, as "Scotch-Irish speech." In the backcountryit rapidly became so dominant that other ethnic stocks in this region adopted it as their own. As early as 1772, a newspaper advertisement reported a runaway African slave named Jack who was said to "speak the Scotch-Irish dialect." The earliest recorded examples of this "Scotch-Irish" speech were strikingly similar to the language that is spoken today in the southern highlands, and has become familiar throughout the western world as the English of country western singers, . transcontinental truckdrivers ~ cinematic cowboys and backcountry politicians.

SALATHIEL NATIVE KANSAN "THOMAS S. SALATHIEL the. gentleman, whose name heads this personal reference, 1S a representative of one of the p10neer families of Montgomery county. He is, by nativity, as well as by training, a Kansan, being born in Douglas County, October 23, 1866. His father, John SALATHIEL, of Independence, pioneered to the Territory of Kansas in 1854, having brought his mother out to the riew town of Lawrence, in that year of the separation of Kansas and Nebraska, and the formation of the latter into territory, with its present boundaries. Mr. SALATHIEL Sr. was a resident of Lawrence till his mother's death, directly after which he settled on a farm, some ten miles from the town, where he was living, during the QUANTRELL Raid. He joined PLUMB's company for the "hoped they wouldn't-find-em" pursuit of the guerilla band, and this and the volunteer service he rendered, when PRICE threatened Kansas, was all the military service he rendered during the Civil War. a ~ I I I II I I "John SALATHIEL was born April 30, 1836, iri Lawrence County, Ohio, on the townsite of Ironton. His father, ~organ SALATHIEL, was out in that country, as a geologist in the interest of a coal company, searching for coal lands. He afterward moved to Cincinnati and died, in 1851, while a resident of that place. He was born in Wales, British Isles, about 1796, married and has two surviving children: John SALATHIEL and Mrs. Mary HOw~LL of Lawrence, Kansas. In 1849, John Salathiel crossed the "plains" with the great throng bound for the California gold fields, but soon returned home and remained in Cincinnati, Ohio, until his advent to Kansas, in company with his mother. He was one of the early merchants of Lawrence, but in 1860, became a farmer in Douglas County and remained such till 1871, when he came south into Montgomery County and purchased a claim on Sycamore creek, two miles north of the historic but eccentric town of Radical. He remained a farmer until 1880, when he came into Independence and engaged in the grocery business with which he has since been connected. "He married I~ Lawrence, Kansas, in 1858, Jemimah COREL', a daughter of Henry COREL, who settled just east of Lawrence, in an early day; a part of the old farm being now the city's beautiful cemetery. Mr. COREL was a settler from West Virginia but both he and his wife died early, thus orphaning' a family of eight young children. The following children have been born to John and Mrs. SALATHIEL: John, deceased; Charles, of Case Post Office, Oklahoma; Margaret, wife of Frederick NEWCOMB of Coffey County, Kansas; Thomas S., our subject; Henry M., who served in the Philippines with the Twentieth Kansas; Walter S., a student 'in the State University of Kansas, who served wi th the Fortieth U.

"This is a tribute to those hardy pioneers who came overland by wagon, handcart or foot along the Oregon Trail," said Jane Walls Golden, chairperson of the Oregon Trail Project. "Enti~e families, with all their worldly possessions in tow, left homes and loved ones to follow an inner voice that promised a better life 'out west'." Recognizing descendants of Oregon Trail travelers commemorates the sesquicentennial (150th anniversary) of the peak year of westerly migration, Golden explained.

No. 3 -120- �A DIARY OF OUR TRIP ACROSS THE PLAINS - 1866 By Delila B. Wait Part 3 SUNDAY. AUGUST 12 Came about a mile and crossed a creek and wound around the base of the mountains, over a desperately rough road all the forenoon. Stopped for dinner on a little creek. We came about twelve miles during the afternoon and camped on a small creek at the foot of mountains. Soon after we stopped, an Indian came into camp. His name was BANNOCK JOHN. He could talk very well and understand everything that was said. During the evening several more came with skins to swap for various articles. They were profuse with their demonstration of friendship and good will for the whites. MONDAY. AUGUST 13 'Started about the usual time, ,drove ten miles and stopped for dinner on the first of five creeks that run along here close together. When the stock was brought up Mr. BALDWIN's Jack horse was missing. Wes went to look for him while the rest were hitching up, but did not find him. The rest put out as soon as they were ready. We drove across the creek and stopped. Wes, John, Mose and Pa went to hunt the horse •. In the course of half an hour they came with it. Came on and found the others, camped about ten miles from where they started on a beautiful stream of water than winds its way through an extensive valley. TUESDAY, AUGUST 14 Our road lay along the edge of the valley during the forenoon. We crossed Wood river and stopped a half mile from it. Several went to the river and caught a nice lot of trout. This afternoon we came over another spur of the mountains and stopped just on the edge of a long narrow valley through which runs a stream of water. It is Big Camas Prairie. WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 15 We started in good season and drove five hours. Mr. MERWIN got in the rear and the rest seemed to have no idea of stopping. As we were crossing a creek in'the prairie, one of our singletrees broke, and Mr. B and ourselves drove out to one side, and turned out. The rest went about a mile 'a~d camped. When we came along, after dinner they were not ready to start, we drove on, passed an emigrant train of six wagons just'before night. They have ox teams. We camped on a small creek, and the rest came and stopped close by. THURSDAY, August 16 Started as soon as it was light. Came S1X miles and stopped for breakfast. In the course of an hour the rest came along. They look some sour and seemed anxious for'us to keep with them. The folks told them they thought they would -121- THE PIONEER, Vol. XVII, No.3 �THE DIARY OF OUR TRIP (continued) camp with them tonight but did not overtake them. We remained where we were till two o'clock and drove till nearly sundown. Camped in a hollow among the hills close by the Texans. FRIDAY. AUGUST 17 We were on the road early. We saw where the others camped about three miles ahead of us. Several miles farther we came to a ranch and a little ways from it were several chimneys of demolished dwellings. There had been a prospect of a gold mine but it had been abandoned. We came up with John here. He had overtaken the folks and got his things out of Merwin's wagon. We came past a ranch and Hotel and stopped for dinner near it on a small creek. The family consists of a widow, her son and daughter. They started for Oregon two years ago but could get to farther than Boise, and came back and located. They are intending to go on this fall. The gentleman came to the wagons and spent some time. Mrs. B and Frank went to the house. They were very much pleased with the young lady. They declared she exceeded any thing they ever heard for conversational powers. Between one and two we resumed our march. We drove till after four and camped near another ranch. Mrs. B and Frank went to the house and got some nice potatoes and onions. The lady of the house came up to camp and spent the evening. SATURDAY, AUGUST 18 The road was very rough and was a succeSS10n of up and down hill. Some of them were very steep and long. About six miles from camp we came down into a small basin through which was a small stream of water and a deserted ranch house, which served travellers as a shade and shelter. And from appearances it has been fully appreciated. Came on six miles farther and stopped for dinner in a small valley, where there were two other parties of Oregon emigrants camped. MERWINS and OWENS were there too when we arrived, but moved on soon after. The Texans came up too. We were in camp three hours. The road was nearly the same as that we came over this forenoon for several miles. Then we came up a canyon, passed the Junction house, and camped a mile and a half this side of it just about dark. SUNDAY, AUGUST 19 This forenoon we passed several homes that were surrounded with evidences of cultivation and civilization. We met several pack trains. We stopped in a canyon near a ranch. There was a field enclosed near us and Mrs. B and I went to it and had the pleasure of looking at the best garden we have seen since leaving Kansas. We came ten miles this afternoon, passed a state station, came down the hill and camped at the foot of it within a mile of the r1ver. The men went to the river fishing, but did not get any. The water was too muddy. MONDAY, AUGUST 20 We left camp as soon as it was fairly light because there was so little feed for the stock. Were intending to stop the first, place there was any feed for THE PIONEER, Vol. XVII, No. 3 -122-' �THE DIARY OF OUR TRIP (continued) breakfast. They kept on but did not find any feed, and tried to buy some, but they asked such a price they could not afford to buy. Drove on a few miles and stopped on some very poor grass. Remained there about three hours. Three miles travel brought us to the Boise river. Mr. BALDWIN got out a ways in the water and his team refused to go. Father drove by him but did not go far till his leaders turned around and he had to get on one of them and ride to get them across. BALDWIN's team would not come on after ours, and he had to wade and lead them across. We passed MERWINS and OWENS camped in a lane not far from the City. We drove into town, stopped an hour or more, then came four or five miles and camped close to a small branch of the river. TUESDAY. AUGUST 21 We came a short distance and stopped at a house and bought some vegetables. Then crossed the valley and came onto the hills, passed through another valley with farms and a nice house close to the road. About eight miles farther we came into another valley, passed a stage station, crossed the creek and came along the foot of the hills half a mile and camped for the rest of the day. WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 22 Our road lay among and over the hills for aways. Then we came down along steep sand-hill onto the broad and beautiful valley of the Fayette, came about five miles across the valley to the river and stopped for dinner on its bank. It is a stream of good size, very clear water and gravel bottom, and abounds in fish, but we could not catch any. This afternoon we passed Mr. MERWINS and OWENS, about five miles from where we dined. They came another road from Boise. We came a few miles farther and camped near the roadside, about half mile from the river. Soon after we stopped the others passed by. Alf rode up to the camp and chatted half hour or more. Hervey stopped at Boise City. THURSDAY, AUGUST 23 We are still travelling down the valley, past nice dwellings surrounded by well cultivated farms with stacks of grain and hay. We came about ten miles and turned out toward the river to camp. Father would not stop where BALDWINS did and drove a mile on down the river to its bank and stopped. We started at two and drove a half mile to the ferry. A man there directed him where to ford it. We crossed and ~aited for BALDWINS. The water came up to the wagon box. We drove about ten miles through the worst dust we have found on the road, and camped on the bank of Snake River, opposite a large island in the stream. A team was camped near us that has travelled in company with us since Sunday noon. They are going to Grand Round Valley. The boys caught a nice lot of fish since we stopped. -123- .THE PIONEER, Vol. XVII, No. 3 �THE DIARY OF OUR TRIP (continued) FRIDAY, AUGUST 24 A couple miles drive brought us to a ranch where we got some water from an excellent springs. The road kept near the river for several miles, then made for Weaser river where we arrived about ten o'clock • . Our friends were· camped a short distance down the river where ~~ stopped. We remained there about three hours, crossed over and came across an extensive prairie covered with sagebrush. We came to Snake river just sunset and stopped for the night. SATURDAY, AUGUST 25 The road this forenoon lay close· along the bank of the river with rough high mountains on the right, Seven or eight miles travel brought us to the ferry. The boat was the largest and best one we have been on. There was three wagons, and sixteen head of stock on the boat when we came over. We came about two miles from the ferry, camped on the hillside for dinner. Mr. Johnathen PARKES stopped close by. Mrs. B called on his wife and thought her quite interesting. Soon after starting we came into the valley of Burnt river and traveled up it all the afternoon, We left just night and came up in the hills and camped n,ear a spnng.· MERWINS passed on by us. (And that was the last time we saw them.) SUNDAY. AUGUST 26 We started early this morning, came through a toll gate and soon after crossed Burnt river, and came up it to another toll gate. We took the right hand road from there, Mr. PARKER went the other road that goes through Baker City. We came up the canyon about a mile and a half and stopped for dinner. In the afternoon we had several hills to climb. 'We stopped about four o'clock in a gulch through which were several spring brooks. There were a lot of packers near us. !-lONDAy, AUGUST 27 We were on the road before sunrise, travelled through a narrow valley for several miles, then took the road to Union. Came into a deep canyon about two miles and stopped for dinner. The road continued up the canyon for several miles, then took off across the hills. We camped on a side hill off to the right of the road, where there was a small branch of water. TUESDAY, AUGUST 28 Just three months to~ay S1nce we left Lawrence, Kansas. Came to Powder river, crossed over on a good bridge and stopped for dinner just this side, where there was the finest feed· they have.had anywhere since we started. There is a toll house on the other side of the river and a good sized dwelling on this side at the edge of the bottom, which is a half mile wide here. A man that was putting up hay three, miles down the river wanted some more help. The men talked it over and said they would just as soon stop a week or two, so THE PIONEER, Vol. XVII, No.3 -124- �THE DIARY OF OUR TRIP (continued) Father got on one of the mules and went to the hay camp. While he was gone, the others went up to the house where some bachelors were living. They told them if they intended to cross the Cascade mountains this fall they must not fool a~ay any time. So they were ready to travel when Father came back. They did their best, and I did too, to persuade him to go on with them but he would not do it. About four o'clock we bade them a sad farewell and they went on while we went back across the bridge and came down the river to the hay camp. There are three men, intelligent and agreeable. The everiing was spent in pleasant conversatio~. The boss is Pat COMSASKY, an Irishman,. Mr. FULL, an elderly gentleman ",-hose family and home is in Wisconsin, where he is intending to go soon, and last though not least is John IRWIN, a large man of about thirty-five and a ra~her prepossessing appearance, whose home and family is in the John Day country. WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 29 They moved camp down across the river this morning a mile and a half whe~e they had some more hay to stack. Our camp is near the river in a grove of willows. They cleared out a space in the midst of the grove to set the table and a place to cook, and it is the neatest, shadiest camp that ever was. I am cooking for the outfit. After dinner I took the hook and line, went to the river and fished patiently but did not get even a bite. It has been sprinkling this afternoon and looks very much like rain tonight. THURSDAY. AUGUST 30 It rained some last night, so they could not put up hay this forenoon. Pat and Pa went to the cabin two miles distant for provisions. Mr. FULL and John remained in camp and kept fires and entertained us pleasantly with conversation. After dinner the wind blew too hard to work with hay. FRIDAY. AUGUST 31 Last night the Sheriff aroused the camp about midnight to serve a subpoena on Mr. FULL and Pat to appear at Baker City today. They went and Pat came back awhile after dark. (First camp was at the mouth of Palm creek and the cabin, or dugout, was in the hill above Wellington's a little ways). SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 1 They moved camp up the r1ver this morning about opposite the first one. We have a very pleasant camp here in a willow grove. Oh, if Mrs. B were here I could enjoy myself first rate. SUNDAY. SEPTEMBER 2 It sprinkled some this morning, and looked fair for a rainy day, but fortunately for us it cleared off before nine o'clock and has been very pleasant the rest of the day. Pat went up to Mr. TUCKER's and brought Mrs. Tucker back with him. She i.s quite a pleasant woman. She has a little girl, Nancy, about a year old. ;.Dur1ng the afternoon Mr. TUCKER (STUCKER) and a Mr. MATHEWS came -125- THE PIONEER, Vol..

Pat went to the town Hogem up in the mountains today. There are two families living there, PACKWOODS and PIERCES and a few miners. Mr. TUCKER came down and took dinner with us. TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4 The day has passed the same as usual, with the work 1n the hayfield and 1n camp. WED~~SDAY. SEPTEMBER 5 Another day has passed without anything to break the monotony of camp. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 6 This day has passed wi th the usual routine of every day. of interest. Nothing transpired FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 7 Mr. FULL started for Union town this morn1ng. After dinner, Pat was going up to the cabin for some things and proposed to Frank and I to go with him. FRANK put my saddle on one of our mules, and Pat saddled one of his mules for me to ride. We crossed the river, went out by the first camp, across the creek, and up it about a mile to the cabin where we were welcomed by Pat's housekeeper, the old black cat. From there we went up the creek to the beaver's dam, then onto the hill where we took a good view of the surrounding country through the telescope. We came to the garden where he showed the fish trap which is a large frame of wicker work. They can go in it easy enough but cannot get out. We got the potatoes and started for camp. We were galloping along and I was in the rear when Jack reared and sprang to one side and left me on my back in the road. It did not hurt me much. I got on him again. He jumped with me a couple times more before we got to camp but I was on guard and he did not get me 'off again, but will not ride him again. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 8 This day has been spent in the usual routine of camp life. SUNDAY. SEPTEMBER 9 After breakfast Pat brought up the mules and saddled three of them, and Pat, Frank and I started for Mr. TUCKER'S. We went out by the cabin till we came to the couster road. There was a deserted ranch just above the road where we turned to the left, a mile or two more we came over onto Clover creek. There was a house unoccupied about half mile above the road. A couple of miles further we THE PIONEER,. Vol. XVII, No.3 -126- �THE DIARY OF OUR TRIP (continued) came to Mr. TUCKER's residence, very pleasantly situated in a small valley. We were treated to some excellent melons. After dinner, Mrs. TUCKER, Frank and I went across the creek to a garden which is a large fine one. They have a good market at the miners for all they can raise. The afternoon was pleasantly spent. Our mules were brought around to the gate and we started for camp. We came down the creek to the river, then down it. It was much nearer than through the hills. MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 10 This forenoon was spent 1n moving camp and fixing it up. We crossed the river and came up it about half mile. This place is nicer yet than the last one. A Mr. CURTISS came to work for Pat just before supper. He seems to be a very agreeable gentleman. (He became one of our particular friends.) TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER 11 I have been washing today and nothing has occurred out of the usual. CURTISS, Pat and Frank have enlivened the evening with singing. Mr. (When the haying was done we all went up the river to the toll house and spent the winter there, at what is the PIERCE place now.)

Another half-acre was purchased from ~~s. Walter Rodewald 1n the 1960s by the trustees. Each member of the church was to have a lot free of charge. By the year 1861 the George Meeder family had consisted of. four boys and two daughters. The two younger sons, of 8 and 10 years, became ill and died of diphtheria in February, 1871. This new settlement had no burial ground. So Great-grandfather built their coffins, laid them out, and chose to bury them in the graves the neighbors had dug. Small markers can still be seen from the road in the southwest corner of the Clearfield Cemetery. The next person to be interred in the Clearfield Cemetery was Ludwig Schendel, father of Amelia Schendel, who married my grandfather, William Brecheisen. The second person was my. great-grandfather, Peter Brecheisen. The Rev. Dissinger, a minister of the Evangelical Church, chose to be buried there also. He had married Mr. and Mrs. George Brecheisen. The trustees of the Clearfield Church are in charge of the cemetery as ordered.

Kas,. May 8. [18]86 ' t. ~ ~ . 6 r\) DEAR SIR--I write to ask you if you are the same gentleman who was police man in Lawrence twenty years ago. The gentleman I have reference to was named Mr. Thad Prentice, and was a tall. slim man with red whiskers, If you are the Mr. Prentice I speak of you will remember about me pointing out the Quantrell raid spies to you the day before Lawrence was burned, [heard their conversation and reported it to you and they were arrested, But as they denied it. they were turned loose. At the time of the raid I lived in an old store building on a front street a few doors above Mr. Gardner's millinery store. and the spies held a conversation back of the building. I think the reason they shot me was because I reported on the spies. The one that I had arrested came and took me prisoner as soon as they got in town and made me hold the ax while they broke into the store buildings and ransacked them. When they got ready to leave town they shot me and put me and two children into Dr. Huson's buggy and took us as far as Jones' ranch. There the horse got frightened and tipped the buggy over. I started to foot it back to Lawrence and met some farmers in a wagon. on the road to Lawrence. and I told them my situation and they took me back. Dr. A. Fuller dressed my wound and attended on me. The reason I tell about my case is to see if you remember me. I have never been able to work for my living since I was shot. I got on as long as my husband lived but he died in 1882 and since then I have had to live on the charity of the people here. They think it is now time for the government or State to help me. Ihope the citizens that know of my getting shot will do all they can about helping me as I am very poor. . ~ "··_~ 11. _ ./~ ~' =.'~" /.':;;s..'t'~'-:::>'.'-'~- m '1.1 JnE ~~ , e·".~ ,.. . ~ _ '" ~ -.--.~. ,Q ,~' ."'~" -'~{.~~ -., - This article was found by John Peterson and is submitted by Watkins Community Museum, 1047 Massachusetts Street.

WOODWARD, a grandson; Russell WOODWARD, a grandson, Herbert THURBER, a grandson, Walter HARRELL, a'great grandson, and Fred FLORY, a great grandson.David T. WOODWARD was born in Powells Valley, West Virginiai July 10, 1817; moved- to- Illinois in 1836 at the age of 19 years., At - the tender age of eleven years the subject of this sketch was converted and was thereafter a lifelong member. of the Methodist Episcopal church. Even in his childhood he felt called to preach and was ordained a minister early in life. Mr. WOODWARD bega~ preaching at the ~ge of 19. It was while' attending a big revival, such as they had in the olden times, that he felt the spirit move him and he arose then and there and began preaching. H~preached all through his long life. Mr. WOODWARD preached in three counties in Illinois and then moved to Kansas. He came to Kansas in 1856 and settled in what is now Clinton township. He remained on this farm the balance 0.£ his life. Mr. WOODWARD preached the gospel through all the trying times when it took courage and confidence to speak the word of God. In his lifetime he pr~ached in 104 different places and held many - protracted meetings. He preached as high as, 50 times in some, of the places. Mr. --WOODWARD, was a preacher because he wanted to' se,rve the Lord. He never, took a dollar for his work ,but was always for,emost 1n the efforts to save souls. After preaching the four-score years of his life,' his eyesight failed, but this man 6f God c~n"tinued to preach, his famil~ taking him frqm place to place.

SEARL has been discovered by Irving HILL. The survey made by SEARL in October, 1854, IS believed 'to have been merely a preliminary idea or vision of the city of Lawrence since it was prior to.the time that the land for the townsite was patented. ' The map, made by L.B. BRADFORD and company, lithographers, Boston, is labeled "Lawrence City~ Territory of, Kanzas." The spelling "Kanzas" was evidently pe~uliar to the time. The spelling for the river skirting Lawrence was also Kanzas. SEARL's p~at covered a piece of land two' miles In width and extending from what would be First street if 'the present street, numbering wa-s extended northward to what i~ now Sixteenth street, It included two blocks farther west than California street and Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia streets were in'clude<:i east of the present Maryland street ,on the extreme'east edge of'the present Lawrence. So far as present records show, the original townsite of Lawrence was a strip of land one mile wide extending' to about the present Fourth ~treet on the north and was about one mile long on the western boundary. SEARL's map shows no' platting north of the ri~er. That the map maker had vision is shown In the fact ,that a body of land on Mount Oread where the University now stands was labeled "Capital Hill and County Buildings." A college campus was designated ,in what is now the West Hills district, included in the city on this old map. 'South~ark wa~ designated in its ptesent form save that it extended from Kentucky street to Rhode Island 'street. Four blocks of ground were designated as four parks named LaFayette, Hamilton, Washington, and Franklin. Near,~here Clinton park is now l~cated were Fulton and Cl{ntqn 'parks. THE ,PIONEER, Vol. XVII, No. 1-2 , -4- �ORIGINAL PLAT OF THE CITY OF LAWRENCE continued The map has - been-in-HILL s possess1.on more' than a' quarter of a century although he did not realize the fact until a few ,days ago. When HILL bo~ght the-site of his present home from the wido~ of Ferdinand FULLER;_ the hou~e built by FULLER on land which he had patented was still standing-and-the HILL family lived- there for a short time. f When the ~resent home of the HILLs was' built~­ -numerous articles were moved from the old FULLER house: to, the attic of ,the new house. Included 1.n those articles was a roll of maps. That was 25 year's ,ago. Recently Mrs. HILL found these maps and showed them,to~ Mr. HILL. He recognized the SEARL map as one which has been sought at various ticies by different persons. He remembered - that C. C. STEWART had at one time sought such a map and - took his discovery to him. Stewart plans to place the map in some place where its preservation will be - assured. It is in an excellent state of preservation-.· Reprinted from Lawrence Journal World, i939 -5- THE PIONEER.

In 1969-70 she . contacted some of William SCHRIEVER'S children and obtained facts, stories, etc. to put . together a niini-family tree as a Christmas pr~sent for my moth~r. She also shared her work with other members of the family. Dorothy SCHRIEVER has been"busily engaged with genealogy for a number of years. Byron and I both became interested in genealogy at a later time. To me, one of the best things about genealogy searching is that in the process offinding. out all of this information about my ancestors, I get to know them and in a sense "we become friends:" This has really happened and because of it, I want to share with you some of the things I have found and share some of the stories I have heard about them. I do not intend that this be a scholarly work, however, it will be true to the best of my knowledge. First of all, I would like to discuss the spelling of the name SCHRIEVER. In my searching on our family, I h~ve found this name spelled SCHREFER, SCHAFER, " SCHRIEBER, SCHRENER and SCHRIEFER. There are a lot of reasons for this. In the 1800's, especially the early years, those who could read and write spelled the way they heard. a word. The SCHRIEFER family obviously spoke with an accent. Therefore, it is easy to see how the various spellings came about. It is true that our grandfather changed the spelling of the name,about the time he went to Kansas. On the 8th day of December 1877he sold the land that he inherited from his father. He signed the deed, IW. SCHRIEFER. In the 1885 Kansas census,William is enumerated as a member of the Chades ~ROEBSTEL household and his last name is spelled SCHRIEVER. The SCHRIEFER family that remained in Indiana (William's brother Henry) continued to spell their name with an "£1'. Their names are spelled that way on their death records and on their gravestones. Mother says, "When we wrote to the Indiana SCHRIEFERS, we also spelled their name with an "£1'. I will begin with the earliest ancestor that I have information on. Then I will take each generation in a direct line to William SCHRIEVER. By direct line I mean that all of the ancestors are related to a~ of us. I will end with a short biography of each of Williani and "Nannie's children. The earliest SCHRIEFER Family that I will tell you about is,. at this point, a penciled-in family. I am very sure that they are related to our great grandfather, Frederick W. SCHRIEFER. I have" some documents that back lip my theory, but at this point I have. been uriable to find the evidence that would make it a fact. -13- THE PIONEER, Vol. XVIII, No. 1-2 �THE SCHRIEVER FAMILY' contiu'ued Gerhard Heinrick Schriefer and Elizabeth Miller In the 1800's the City of Baltimore ~ollected an immigration fee of one" dollar for each " person over one year of age coining into Baltimore Harbor. G. H. SCHRJEFER,(Gerhard , Heinrick), his wife, Elizabeth and their seven children were on that list for January 1, 1846. In March of 1846, Gerhard Heinrick SCHRJEFER and his seven children reported for naturalization in Ripley County, Indiana. In this document Gerhard Heinrich states that they "were born in the jUrisdiction ofOsnabruck in the Kingdom of Hannover and that " they came from the place oftherrbirth and have settled pennanently in the County of Ripley and State of Indiana.", The oldest son, Ernst Henrich, 24 years old, applied for his own naturalization. The father, Gerhard Heinrich, applied for himselfand six children. those children are as follows: John Frederick, age 19, Maria Eleanora, age 18, Maria Elsaban, age 15, Frederick Wilheim, age 13, Gerhard Henry, age II and John Henry, age 9. Do you note the way the sam"e name has been given to two or more children? Could they possibly have achild nained Fredreich W. (as is on his gravestone) when they also have a John Frederick and a Frederick Wilheim? " Gerhard Henrick SCHRJEFER bought land in Sp encer CountY. , On the WId day of February, 1854, he bought 40 acres ofland from John and Elizabeth SPECHT for $150. He bought 40 acres ofland from Ignatius and Elizabeth MASTERSON for $150, and he bought 40 acres ofland from Andrew and Barbara WETZEL; for $190. 'Then on the 8th of March, 1854~ he wrote a will bequeathing this land to his three sons, Frederick William, ," Henry and George SCHRJEFER. , Later, a "probated will, dated March 9, 1859, named liis oldest daughter, Elisabeth SEARBAMAER, son Amest H. SCHREAFER, son Frederich, daughter Mary E. AHRING, and two youngest sons, Gerred Henry and John Henry SHREAFER This will was dated 30 January 1855 and was witnessed by Andrew WETZEL, John H. " " , DANNING, John SPECHT and Ernst SCHRJEFER I believe the probate date to be close to the date of his death and because these are records of Spencer County,. Indiana, I gelieve that he died there. I have not been able to'find any record of his death, nor have I be'en able to find a burial place for him. THE PIONEER, Vol. XVIII, No. 1-2 -14- �THE SCHRIEVER FAMILVcontinued There are two members of this fainily in the 1860 Indiana Spencer County, Clay Twp. (Santa Claus) Census. They are John H. SCHRIEFER, age 24, his wife Anna (SCHIERBAUM) and a young son; William F. and Henry SCHRIEFER, age 25, his wife . Ann,a Mary (WETZELL). Both were neighbors of Frederick SCHiuEFER. These same family members are on the. 1870 cenSus and Ernest SCHRIEFER, his wife Sena, their nine children are also enumerated for Carter Twp. . There are two other families that link Frederick and Louisa to the Gerhard Heinrich SCHRIEFERS. Their names are SCHIERBAUM and WETZEL. Th~ SCHIERBAUM family is also found on that 1846 Baltimore City list. They are listed along with the SCHRIEFERS as E. H.. SCHIERBAUM, age 23, his wife Maria, age 25, and a child Gerhard Henry,age l. In 1860, the SCHRIERBAUM family and the WETZEL family were neighbors of Frederick. Both WETZEL and SCHRIEBAUM attested to Frederick's Will of 1857 and they 'Yere later, in 1867, assigned guardians of Frederick and Louisa's.children. These are the facts above that lead me to believe that Gerhard Heinrich, Elizabeth and their children, from Hannover, Germany, were the family of Frederick W. SCHRIEFER. Brooks MATHEY and Jane YOUHS Brooks MATNEY was perhaps the son of William MATNEY and Jane BROOKS. This. name is spelled many ways: MATTINGLY (considered the original spelling and probably came from Ireland), MATONEE, MATINEE, MATINLER, MCMATNEY, MATINGLEY (many spellings.) He was bom in Virginia ca 1775·. He married Jane (Jennit) YOUNG 23 Dec. 1794, in Washington County, Virginia. 'Jane was the daughter of Daniel YOUNG. . They had ten children: Walter MATNEY, born 6 June 1796; Daniel David MATNEY, born.5 JUly 1801; Charles MATNEY, born 4 Nov. 1803; Jean Ginney MATTNEY, born 10 August 1806; William MATNEY, born 15 Jan, 1808; Margaret (Peggy) MATNEY (MATENLER),.born 15 Sept. 1810; Elizabeth MATNEY Born 18 Feb. 1812; Jefferson Matney, born 17 Nov. 1814, and Nancy Matney, born 27 March 1818. Brooks died 13 Feb. 1828 in Tazewell County, Virginia. Jane died beforeApriI 1847 in Tazewell County, Virginia. -15- THE PIONEER, Vol. XVIII, No. 1-2 �THE SCHRIEVER FAMILY continued Charles Matney and Abigail Brown Charles MATNEY,-son -of Brooks MATNEY, married Abigail BROWN, who was born in ,.

Matilda, the oldest was our great grandmother. - Charles and Abigail and their childrenand most of Charles' family left Tazewell County about 1844 and immigrated westward. First they settled in Parkville, Missouri, then later is Westport, Missouri. ' Charles and Abigail's children were: Matilda Jane, born 8 Nov. 1829; George Q.A. was _bom28 Sept., 1831; John R, born 23 Jan. 1834; David B., born 3 Aug., 1836 and Elisha' McDaniel, born 1838. Sometime after 1860 Charles, Abigail, their adult children_and many of Charles' family-' began purchasing land in Wyandotte County, Kansas which is just across the state line from Missouri. They settled in that area and continued to live there until they died. Abigail Brown MATNEY died 28 Nov. 1865 of smallpox. Charles MATNEY di~d on 6 Oct. 189"1. They are both_buried in the Maple Hill Cemetery in Argentine, Kansas. Also buried in this cemetery are all of their children except Elisha.

If you are a really dedicated researcher, often times an idea will pop into your' head about solving a particular genealogical problem and you'll. rush to write it down. If this happens when you are in a car,. it will probably get written on a scrap of paper in your purse. If you are at work, it will probably be written on a sticky note and also stuck in' your purse. If you are sitting at your desk at home and have one of these brilliant ideas, you may stick a note up on your bulletin board. Since you are a very busy person, these little notes to yourself may collect for a long time~ . . . People, these bits and scraps of paper, crumpled and thumbtacked, are a terrible way to t~eat your brilliant ideas, any or all of which may provide a definitive answer to a very elusive problem. Here's a better way to handle·them. Using a·8-1/2 x 11 piece of white paper, which you wilrcall a "WORK LOG", turn it sideways and divide it into three columns. Label the .first column "CENSUS WORK",' The second column "LIBRARIES" and the. last column "TO DO". Now draw lines across,' creating blocks into which you can enter your brilliant ideas! Examples of how entries might look are: . (Census Column) -"1900/1910 Hamilton Co., 'OH for F.H. Ryland" (Libraries) - LAPUBlIC/1890 city directory for Israel Hark (To Do) -·Wrote inquiry to DCGS quarterly! If any items are really urgent, I color in a red flag to get my attention. and they go with me everywhere when I research. put these pages in a 3-ring binder This binder holds the makings of .all kinds of research surprises. Your brilliant ideas won't get lost and will constantly be in front of you t~ j~g your memory. From a talk given by Bobby Title -25- THE PIONEER. Vol. XVIII. No. 1-2 �OUR· CHURCHES .... F~ ~emb.ty 0-6 God The Pirst Assembly of God Church ·located at 5th and Baker Streets, Baldwin, Kansas, held its first services May 4, '1958. Their first place .of worship was Tab10ck Hall, ·1614 College Street. There .were twenty present a't the first meeting. The church was set in o~der by Rev. A.J. KRIMMER, district presbyter of the Assemblies of God, with nine charter members which were the following: Rev. and Mrs. Roy EICHELBERGER, Gary EICHELBERGE:R, Mrs. Zola COLLINS, Mrs. Miidred SCHOMER, Regina Sue COLLINS, Alic~ LYMAN, and Mr. and Mrs. R.H. MORGAN.·· Rev. Roy EICHELBERGER pastored,the church from May 4, 1958 until November 25, 1959. Rev. and Mrs. R.P" ROUTH accepted the pastorate then and pastored until October, 1965 .. The property at 5th and Baker Streets was purchased on J~ne 8, 1960 and, a building permit was purchased from· Bal,dwin City, April, 1962. . Three carpenters, members of the church, did the major part of the building. They are as follows: Mr. C.O. COLLINS, Mr. Grady LAYTON, and Rev. R.P'. ROUTH. Their labor was doriated. The City of Baldwin donated the digging of the. foundation. . Rev. E.W. WEEMS became pastor in January, 1966. Rev. Robert COOPER became pastor of the local ,church August 23, 1970 as the fourth pastor to serve the Baldwin church. Reprinted from the Baldwin City Centennial Edition October 1970 I was once a normal person till I climbed my family tree, Now that my Ancestors have met they make a battleground of me. My grandpa Pat from Ireland makes me dance with lively, feet, While my English one, Sir Oliver, walks sedately down the street. My Swedish grandma Hi Ida· gi ves away' each dime I make, While my Scott:ish one shudders at the things I waste and break. My grandma from Paris laughs and flirts the live-long day, .And my great-grandma from Plymouth turns her back the other way. Thus they argue, thus they differ; how I wish they would agree, Por I never can determine just which one is really me!

I �'" '1£ FAJRMERS ANNUAL FESTIVAL FOR DOU6LAS COUNTY THE BAB" SHOW! \' The great event of the first day was the baby show, which took place at 2 o'clock. In the center of the circular building a stand had been erected for the purpose of exhibiting the little jewels. For the finest baby under one year old, there were twenty-one entries, and a handsome lot of babies they were, too. Douglas County can excel in babies. She ought to be proud of her babies. The mothers are, at all events, and we would not be certain but some of the fathers exult a little. There is something pleasant in the thought of having a baby that can compete for a prize, even should the prize not be won. Babies are jewels that belong to well-regulated families, and there was a good many well-regulated families on the grounds yesterday. The babies under one year that competed yesterday belonged, respectively, to the households of Mrs. Robert STEELE, Mrs. W. M. HOULTON, Mrs. N. OLIN, Mrs. 1. W. SCHULTZ, Mrs. 1. W. GOODHUE, Mrs. Daniel FREEMAN, Mrs. W. H. WILLETTS, Mrs. Ino. WEBBER, Mrs. A. B. KELLOGG, Mrs. Ionathan WEAVER, Mrs. Ino. DUMOT, Mrs. Pleasant mATT, Mrs. R M. PHll.,LIPS, Mrs. C. RALLSTON, Mrs. S. TIERS, Mrs. D. T. MITCHELL, Mrs. R .D. ADAMS, Mrs. D.W. LITTELL, and Mrs. C. A. FARIS. As the hour of two o'clock approached, twenty-one anxious mothers petted the little darlings, and wondered how the blue ribbons would look when attached to theirs, the premium baby. The superintendent of Class "0" felt the fearful responsibility that was upon him. The awarding committee consisted of Gov. HARVEY, Dr. WRIGHT, Maj. MCGLAUGHLIN, Mrs. 1. W. CLOCK and Mrs. BALDWIN. The committee set about their work, and after examining the babies and taking their names, held a consultation of some half an hour. The question to decide was a diffic~t one. How could they please one mother and displease twenty others. No jury ever deliberated more cautiously upon the fate of a fellow mortal. The decision was finally made in favor of Mortimer Clair LITTELL, a bright little boy seven and a half months old. EXCERPTED FROM TIlE WESTERN HOME JOURNAL SEPTEMBER t4, t~7t THE PIONEER, VOL.

Paul Mary Ferreror Ponziglione di Borgo d'ALES, a Jesuit priest, a descendant of the royal Italian families, GUERRAS and PONZIGLIONES, began his missionary labors in Southeastern Kansas, and in 1857 established a missionary station at Prairie City, Kansas. This is the first record we have of any permanent Catholicity in or near the City of Baldwin. THE EARLY CATIIOLIC cnURCH RECTORY In West Baldwin . ......_J The mission comprised about fifteen families, being mostly immigrants from Ireland and France . In 1859, Father SCHACHT built a small stone church about 20 x 30 feet at a cost of about $400.00. The title of the church was The Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. In 1870, Rev. Felix SWENBERGH, the successor of Father PERRIER, built a parochial residence adjoining the church. This was a two story building 18 x 34 feet, built of stone, cost about $600.00. Part of the ruins still stand. Here in the priest's house a small Catholic school was maintained for a short time. Instruction was given by a lay teacher. The parish in 1870 numbered about fifty (50) families, still mostly French and Irish nationality. The old church was now too small for the increasing congregation, and in 1893, Rev. Joseph A. POMPENEY, D.D. collected $1500.00 for a new church. This new church, located in West Baldwin, is a frame structure 30 x 50 feet, seating about 200 people, and cost about $1800, and is still used as the parish church of Baldwin. In 1907, Rev. O. E. DEGAN buH t an addi tion to the church, 14 x 28 feet, consisting of two rooms for the accommodation of the priest whilst in Baldwin. Father DEGAN also decorated the interior of the church-and added a gallery for the choir. Altogether improvements amounting to $3000.00 were made during the pastorate of Father DEGAN (1907 to 1910). On Easter Sunday, 1918, Rev. Thaddeus BARTTRO was appointed pastor of Ottawa and Baldwin. During this time of Father BARTTRO's pastorate, until he was succeeded by Father Cowel O'NEAL in 1934, Annunciation Church at Baldwin was redecorated inside and outside and other needed improvements costing in all about $1000.00 were made. In 1937, Father Lorenz RIETH, was appointed to care for the Baldwin Mission. The church was again redecorated inside and outside, new light fixtures and a furnace were installed and other improvements made all at a cost of about $3000.00. In 1952, Rev. Paul W. MILLER was appointed pastor of Eudora Parish and Baldwin Mission. And in 1956 a new Hammond Electric Organ was installed. THE PIONEER. VOL. XVIII. No. 3 -47- �ANNUNCIATION PARISH continued In 1964, the two rooms adjoining the south side of the church were removed and a 30 x 30 foot frame building with basement was built. Also city water and sewer connections were made. It is used for Religious Instructions, meetings, and social activities. In August 1966 Father Thomas A. KEARNS was appointed pastor of the Edgerton Parish and Baldwin Mission. About 30 family units are involved in the Baldwin Catholic community at this time. In all, improvements of about $6,000 have been made during the pastorate of Father KEARNS. In August 1970, Father Richard BURGER was appointed Pastor of Edgerton Parish and Baldwin Mission.

CONJUGATING NAMES - The Art of Finding Your Lost Family ~know what our family name was. But the census taker and the indexer and the judge either heard the name differently or spelled it differently. Our puzzle is to figure out what they did with our names! I have two systems for name-hunting: very simply, a vowel system and a consonant system. The vowel system is obvious. If the name begins with a consonant, I try the name systematically with a,e,i,o and u. My Irishsounding Douglas County "LaHay" family were really st. Genevieve Co., Missouri "Lihaise"s, (which accounts for the fact that they all had French g·iven names.) Toussaint Lihaise became Townsend LaHay in Douglas County, his son Francois Lihaise became Frank LaHay. The consonant system is based on the Soundex coding: if the surname begins with a P, I see what other consonants have the same code on the soundex (in this case B) -- and by applying it to my "Puckett" family, which seemed not to have been enumerated if one judged from the Kansas 1860 Census index, I found them listed as "Bucketts", a name so far off that without this system I never would have thought to look under a "B". The most valuable lesson I have learned in my 10 years of researching is to be methodical, a trait which doesn't come naturally to me but which I force upon myself because I see it produce r~sults. Doing what I call "Conjugating my Names· gives me a pretty complete list of name possibilities. Systematic checking eliminates the need for doing things twice -- and gives me a good laugh sometimes!

On 8 Jan 1857 in Livingston County, Illinois he married Martha L. STRANGER of said county. In February 1860 until August 1860 in Douglas County, Kansas, and at diverse times defendant committed adultery with one Gardner RICHARDS and that S1nce that time she left petitioner and he believes she resides at West Bend in Wisconsin. Subpoenas issued for George MORDECAI, Cyrus H. RICHARDS, Mary RICHARDS, Xenophan RICHARDS. Witnesses for defendant: George MORDECAI, William BRYMAN and Mrs. BRYMAN. Answer: She denies any and all material allegations because: Plaintiff has no right to ask court for the decree demanded because plaintiff did at the town of West Bend in Wisconsin and at various other places in July 1865 and at various other times commit wilful, open and notorious adultery. Asks court to dismiss petition and she recover costs. Letter: " ... 1 am not guilty of the cause brought against me by Oscar G. RICHARD and furthermore swear that I did not leave the said Oscar G. RICHARD with my own will and that he drove me from my home and also my children without cause or provocation and that the said Oscar G. RICHARD sa,id he did not love me and did not want to live with me for a cause that is unknown to me, for I love the said Oscar RICHARD with true virtuous love and would rather have suffered everything, even death, than to have left him. Oscar G. RICHARD was jealous of me in the summer of 1866 but not as he has stated in the petition with one Gardner RICHARDS, but he solemnly forgave me for so doing and we have lived together seven years since, til the 5 of July when he came home and said he did not love me and did not want to live with me and if I would give him a divorce he would divide the property and give me half and give me money to take me to my friends, but I did not want to go and can prove it by 8 or so different persons and that I am willing to live with the said Oscar G. RICHARDS as long as I live, but the said Oscar R. RICHARDS drove me from him without no other cause than he said he did not love me. Therefore I shall not answer said peti tion in favor of the petitioner and since I cam away he wants to slander my character and also to take my property from me and leave me a helpless creature without anything to help myself and children. I am living under the doctor's care with a lame limb and he knows that I am not capable of taking care of myself and shall, if it is in my power and the law can do justice by me, to make him take care of me and my children as long as he shall live unless he will sign over 1/2 of the property to me, then if it must be so I will give him a bill of divorce but would rather live and enjoy life happily with him than do so and if there is any mercy in heaven and justice in law I hope I shall receive my just dues.

On May 17th, three days later, they, with Uncle Giles and Aunt Betty PARMAN and their five children started for Oregon in covered wagons drawn by mule teams. The Parman children were Julia, age nine years, Ethelyn, Helen, George and Lloyd, a babe 1n arms. They started from Dunn's Station, a small place on Fall River, near Neodasha. Uncle Giles sold his small farm of 80 acres and decided to come to Oregon. He had two covered wagons drawn by four mule teams. One of these teams was driven by my father. A Mr. and Mrs. Ham ODEM and two children left Neodasha the same day, headed for the west. Mr. ODEM was a blacksmith by trade and was a very handy man to join the party. They came from Dunn's Station through to Wichita, Kansas, then turned almost west along the Arkansas River and Santa Fe railroad to Dodge City, Kansas. The state of Kansas went prohibition in 1881, but that didn't have much effect in the far west. The city was wide open. They stopped at one of the saloons to get a drink of beer. While there, two men walked in with a Winchester rifle, two pistols or revolvers and knives in their boots and started shooting because the service was too slow. People from the surrounding country brought their large herds of cattle to Dodge City to be shipped out to Chicago. There was a herd of 5,000 waiting to be shipped, and many very rough looking cowboys were working at looking after this large herd, all with guns strapped on them. While the party that was headed west was camped at Dodge City, a terrible hail storm came up, causing the mules to stampede. The folks had to grab their bedding and put it over their heads to keep from getting hurt, the hail stones were so large. From Dodge City they turned north to Colorado Springs and camped near the foot of Pike's Peak. They went from there to Denver, then to Fort Collins where they were joined by a Mr. and Mrs. James SCOTT. The next stop was Laramie City, which joined the Old Oregon Trail. They stayed six weeks at Laramie City because of an Indian scare. While there, Uncle Giles' mules got away from him and it took nearly the six weeks to find them, as they had started back home. He was gone most of that time, which caused much worry and anxiety for the rest of the part. The Indians were on the warpath and they were afraid Uncle Giles might have been killed. The next town was Granpere and the towns from then on were very small to Boise City, Idaho. The Oregon Short-line was being built from Boise to Baker, Baker to LaGrande, LaGrande back to Baker. THE PIONEER, VOL. XVIII, No. 3 -53- �CROSSING THE PLAIN, continued From there the party went to Bully Creek country in Malheur County. By this time it was getting cold and fall-like, near the middle of November. So they decided to winter on the head of Indian Creek which empties into Bully Creek. Here they found one deserted cabin, so Uncle Giles PARMAN, with the help of my father and the two other men built two more cabins out of juniper logs. One was just a small cabin and the other was 30 feet long by 14 feet wide with a fireplace in one end made out of rock and mud. The cracks in the cabins were filled with mud to keep the cold out, and the floors were dirt packed down as solid as they could make them. That winter was a cold hard one, ps the snow was very deep and heavy. When it began to melt in the spring, the roof on the large cabin caved in, flooding the place. This was the first Chinook they had ever seen. The men were busy all winter making posts, but didn't know what they were g01ng to do with them. In the spring of 1883, my father and mother went to work for the Great Cattle Co. "Miller & Lux." My father rode for the cattle and did whatever there was to do, and my mother cooked for the crew of men and cowboys. Sometimes she would have 30 or more for a meal. The ranch was very large -- one could get on a horse at Harper's and ride to Sacramento, California and still be on their ranch. Miller & Lux bought 4,000 posts from the men and Uncle Giles delivered them. While my father and mother were there working, they received a letter from my Grandfather MYERS, my mother's father, and the father of Uncle Elgin and Uncle Walter, the only two of the original MYERS family still living. My Grandfather had sold his place in Kansas and wanted to come West and join their daughter and son-in-law (my father and mother,) who had come West as bride and groom the early summer before. On March 2nd, 1883, Sarah Elizabeth SHANNON was born in the big log cabin. She was my oldest sister, the first of 8 children. In the early fall of that year, Grandfather and Grandmother MYERS and their 7 boys (oldest 16) and one girl Cora, the youngest of the family, age 2 years, left Kansas to join their oldest child, my mother, who was 17 years old when she married and my father was 20. Two other families came with them. However, they did not suffer the hardships my parents did, as they came to the nearest railroad station, Mountain Home, Idaho, by train, then took a stage to Boise City, Idaho, where Uncle Giles and my father met them in two covered wagons and brought them to Malheur County. From there that same fall, they moved and wintered on Hoover Creek, this side of Fossil. In the early spring of 1884, my father and mother went back to their camp on Indian Creek to look after the camp mules and a cow and a garden, while Uncle Giles took a team of mules and a hack to go on a scouting trip to see where they might like to settle. He went to Baker, LaGrande, Pendleton and then to Summit Springs, later known as Condon. The entire country was covered with sagebrush and tall waving grass. After looking the country over, Uncle Giles decided he liked Summit Springs better than anything he had seen on his trip. -54- THE PIONEER, VOL. XVIII, No. 3 �CROSSING THE PLAIN, continued By this time, they had moved back to the Fossil Country all eager to get settled in a place of their own. Grandfather MYERS, my father and Uncle Giles filed on their homesteads this same spring. They were also entitled to what was known as a timber culture, which consisted of 1670 acres, one quarter of railroad land (160 acres) and a preemption at $1.25 per acre. Each could own 640 acres. Uncle Giles' first wife, Aunt Betty, died in childbirth two years after they had settled on their homesteads. Twins were born, a boy and a girl. The boy lived to be 9 months old. The girl was buried with her mother. It was the first, or one of the first, graves in the Condon cemetery. Aunt Betty was alone with her children when she started labor. Julia, age 11 years, got on a horse to go for my mother and got lost in the fog at night. By the time my mother arrived. Aunt Betty was dead. The families had a very hard time for many years. After Aunt Betty's death, Uncle Giles would go out to work with his teams, leaving the five small children on the homestead weeks at a time. The neighbors would go to see them whenever they could. My father too was away from home working to get provisions to feed his family. He worked at Parker's Mill in Fossil until the spring of 1885, then came home and settled on his homestead. He had earned $500. By that time, he was the father of two children, as Lee was born the fall of 1884. The spring that they all filed on their homesteads, there was only one house and a barn at Summit Springs. A man by the name of POTTER lived there. Many changes have come about during the years from 1882 to 1919. My grandfather's place has changed hands several times. The POTTERs own it now. My father owned and lived on his ranch until 1947, when he passed away at the age of 85. My mother passed away in the spring of 1920 at the early age of 55 years. Strange to say, my father's ranch still remains in the SHANNON family. My brother Walter owns it, and his son Jack and wife Jeannie and their 4 children live on it. (They've had a fifth child since this original report.) Likewise the PARMAN ranch has always remained in the PARMAN family. Uncle Giles sold it to his two sons, George and Lloyd, many years ago. Uncle Giles moved to an acreage near Portland where he lived for 26 years. He passed away at the age of 84. His granddaughter, Janet PARMAN KIRKPATRICK and her husband Herbert and children John and Ann own and live on the original homestead today. There are only two of the original Giles PARMAN family living at the present time. Julia May BORGES, age 88, lives at, Bell California, near her daughter Ruby Graves OYERLEESE, and Lloyd, age 81 or 82, living in Eugene, Oregon. NOTE: Uncle Giles PARMAN's father was married to Grandfather MYERS' step sister. In 1893, Uncle Giles married the second time. In the fall of 1962, the Jack SMITHs purchased the PARMAN ranch, then owned by the KIRKPATRICKS, so the PARMAN ranch is still owned by relatives of Uncle Giles PARMAN, as Margaret Ann SMITH is the youngest daughter of George and Robena PARMAN, granddaughter of Uncle Giles PARMAN.

XVIII, No. 3 �UNITED METHODIST CHURCH It was on July 22, 1855 that the Baldwin Methodist church was organized. As the group became too large to meet in homes, its meetings were moved to the assembly room of the Old Castle, the first college building of Baker University. Here they met for ten years and many men served as their leaders or pastors. As early as 1863 the congregation had Visions of its own church building and in 1864-65 had purchased lots at Dearborn and 7th. In 1867-68 the Ladies Sewing Circle or Ladies Aid undertook the building of a stone church that cost when completed $6,000. this building served the community as a church until 1885 when the services were moved to the college Chapel in Centenary Hall. At the time Dr. Samuel S. Murphy was the pastor and a new church was needed. During his pastorage of7 years the cornerstone of the brick church was laid by Bishop H. W. Warren on the site of the present church edifice. The building cost $30,000 and was dedicated free of debt Feb. 14, 1904. Through the years the big red brick church has been one of the focal points of Methodists and the people of Baldwin. On Nov. 30, 1930 the church caught fire and burned to the ground. Following the shock of the loss of the church that was such a vital part of the life of the community, plans were made that very day to build a new church. The whole town helped in many unselfish ways. Rev. Wiley A. Keve, the present building of Bedford Sandstone was completed and used first for Baker's Baccalaureate on May 29, 1932. Dr. James Chubb came to Baldwin as the pastor in 1934 and was here until 1942. It was during his ministry that the name of the church was changed from the Methodist Episcopal church to the First Methodist church. During his pastorate the Methodist church and the Methodist South were united. The dedication of the present church building with all the debts paid was made by Bishop Wm C. Martin on May 26, 1946. The Wesleyan Service Guild was organized in 1948; the 100 year anniversary sermon by Bishop Dawson in 1955, the Crop program, the Chex program, the Bulletin Board, designed to carry out the lines of the church erected in 1960; the new pipe organ in 1963 and Markham Memorial Carillon -- all these and more were accomplished by the thoughtful planning and diligent work of the pastor and the congregation. In 1967-68-69-70, the general conference used the facilities of Baldwin and Baker University. During this time in July 18, 1868 the Uniting Service of the union of the United Methodist Church and the Evangelical United Brethren church in Kansas took place in Baldwin. Many people through the years have contributed much to this church. Our pastors have kept to the high ideals established throughout the years. They have counseled our youth; comforted the sick; and they have led us to the source of all wisdom The laymen have given money, time, gifts and effort.

During the very long period from 1629 to 1775, the present area of the United States was settled by at least· four large waves of English-speaking immigrants. The first was an exodus of Puritans from the east of England to Massachusetts during a period of eleven years from 1629 to 1640. The second was the migration of a small Royalist elite and large numbers of indentured servants from the south of England to Virginia (ca. 1642-75). The third was a movement from the North Midlands of England and Wales to the Delaware Valley (ca. 16751725). The fourth was a flow of English-speaking people from the borders of North Britain and northern Ireland to the Appalachian backcountry mostly during the half century from 1718 to 1775. These four groups shared many qualities in common. All of them spoke the English language. Nearly all were British Protestants. Most lived under British laws and took pride in possessing British liberties. At the same time, they also differed from one another in many other ways: in their religious denominations, social ranks, historical generations, and also in the British regions from whence they came. They carried across the Atlantic four different sets of British folkways which became the basis of regional cultures in the New World.

No. 3 �SPJlIJlG TAIlS: THE SClllmVEa FAMILT By Phyllis J. Douglas PAIT 3 Frederick W. SCnmFBI and Louisa TlUDDI. Frederick SCHRIEFER has been the mystery man in our past. He died a young man, left four young children and a widow, Louisa, who also died five years later. Essentially the children were orphans. On the 23rd day of August 1856, Frederick SCHRIEFER appeared in the Spencer County, State of Indiana, Circuit Court and reported himself for naturalization. In this document he stated that he was a native of Hannover, Germany, aged 31 years, that he embarked at Bremen and arrived at Baltimore on the 20th day of November 1'856. This arrival year cannot be correct. The declaration is dated August of 1856. It is my theory that Frederick SCHRIEFER followed the Gerhard Heinrich SCHRIEFER family to the United States, arriving Nov. 20, 1846. Frederick married Louisa TAGONER (this name has been spelled several ways) on August 10, 1848, in Ohio County, Indiana. Ohio County is a tiny county right on the Ohio River and adjacent to Ripley County. Louisa was born in Germany on 18 February 1822, but beyond that I know nothing of her parentage. Their first child, Henry, was born on December 8, 1850. Elizabeth was born ca 1853, then came Susanah ca 1855 and last, our grandfather, John William, on 4 Nov. 1856. On June 25, 1857, from Spencer County, Indiana, Frederick SCHRIEFER wrote his will. It read: "I, Frederick SCHAFER, beleaving that I must shortly depart this life and as it has pleased the Lord to intrust me some worldly estate personally and seal and to affectionate my will and desire that my wife Louisa SCHAFER shall have the right to settle my estate, further I want her to have all my property as long as she lives after my debts are paid. After her death I want my children to have what is left of my estate. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 25th day of June, 1857. Signed: Frederick (X his mark) SCHAFER. Attest: Andrew WETZEL, Henry Schierbaum and Andrew HOOFMIER. The presence of this will tells us that Frederick knew of his impending death. Our grandfather William was only about 7 months old when this will was written. The 1860 Federal Census for Indiana enumerates this family in Spencer County, Clay Township. Frederick is listed as 35 years of age, a farmer and his birthplace as Germany. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - _ . ---- THE PIONEER. VOL. XVIII. No. 3 -65- �TIlE SCIllmVEIl rAMIT continued Louisa is listed as 37 year of age and her birthplace as Germany. The four children are all listed as born in Indiana. Frederick died on 24 August 1861. He was 36 years old and had lived in the United States for only 15 years. His will was recorded in Spencer County on 3 Sept. 1861. He is buried in the Santa Claus German Methodist or Campground Cemetery near Carter Twp. He is listed as Friedrich W. SCHRIEFER in the Spencer County Cemetery Records. Vol. ill. EITEl CIIlISTIAI wmBlBACI In this story we must discuss Christian WYTTENBACH. Initially, he was to me the mean Methodist minister who was the stepfather to Frederick's children. Yet, as I have searched for records on this family, I find that Christian WYTTENBACH probably played a "larger" role in the lives of Frederick, and certainly Louisa, than we will ever knOw. A History of Spencer County, found in the Rockport, Indiana library, gives a history and founding of the German Community and Church, later known as Santa Claus. It states: "In the quarterly conference meeting, held at Boonville, in the fall of 1849, Dietrich HANNING, a Spencer County settler, met Christian WYTTENBACH. Their association became so congenial that Christian WYTTENBACH purchased a farm near the HANNINGS. He fell in love with this community and invited German migrant families to come and buy up the surrounding farm land. He advertised in the "Apologete (Christian Advocate) for migrants. It was his forceful personality that made the Santa Claus church and community an organized unit." Christian WYTTENBACH was the first preacher of Santa Claus, from 1849 to 1851. It is my theory that sometim~ before 1854, from Ohio or Ripley County, Frederick and Louisa, Gerhard Henry, Ernst, John H. and Henry SCHRIEFER answered Christian WYTTENBACHs call and located in Santa Claus. WYTTENBACH left Santa Claus in 1851 and continued his ministry as a circuit preacher in Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky until 1863. At that time, he was a widower, with nine children. He returned to Santa Claus and married Louisa SCHRIEFER on 29 Sept. 1863. WYTTENBACH and Louisa had one son, Edward, who was born ca 1864. Louisa died on 19 Aug. 1866. She is buried with Frederick in the Santa Claus German Methodist or Campground Cemetery and is listed in the Spencer County Cemetery -66- THE PIONEER, VOL. XVIII, No. 3 �TlB Bellm'BI FAMILTcontinued Records, Vol. ill as Mary Louise SCHRIEFER, wife of Frederick, 44 years, 6 months and 1 day old. It was over a year later, on 10 October 1867, that Andrew WETZEL was named legal guardian of the children (Henry, Lizzie, Susana and William SCHRIBER) and property (worth one thousand dollars) of Frederick SCHRIBER (note spelling). The guardian's bond and oath was made out to Andrew WETZEL and Henry SHEIRBAUM and signed by both. I can find no evidence that any of the children lived in the household of either of these guardians. Only Elizabeth is enumerated in the 1870 census in the home of Christian WYTTENBACH and his third wife Mary. On Nov. 17, 1873, Henry SCHRIEFER (Frederick and Louisa's oldest son) and his wife Natalie, Elizabeth (Lizzie) and Susan SCHRIEFER sold about 40 acres of Land for $410 to Henry SCHRIEBAUM. On that same day Susan SCHRIEFER sold 22 acres to Henry SCHRIEFER, the son of Gerhard Heinrich, for $180. On October 28, 1874, Andrew WETZEL, guardian of the children, reported to the . Spencer County Circuit Court on his guardianship and asked to be relieved of the guardianship of Henry, who was by then 24 years old and married; Elizabeth who was about 21 and Susie, who was about 19. He stated that the real estate had been divided among them and that his ward William owned about one acre that made it necessary for him to continue his guardianship to look after the land and the taxes. At this time William would be almost 17 years old. When AI and I were in Spencer County, Indiana last October, we were able, with the help of the County Clerk to locate Frederick's land. It is now adjacent or part of a golf course in Santa Claus. We also visited the Santa Claus German Methodist Cemetery. The church is still active, however the building is a newer one. We were determined to find Frederick and Louisa's graves. However, using the information we had, we discovered that now the gravestones are down, but we were able to step off fairly closely where the sites were. They are buried under a big tree. Most likely the roots of the tree pushed the gravestones out of the ground. Christian WYTTENBAUCH and his third wife, Mary, are also buried there. They have quite a large and noticeable marker. There are more markers for SCHRIEFERS SCHIERBAUMS and WETZELS than I could count. Funny after doing all the searching on this family it was kind of "old home week" in the Santa Claus German Methodist Cemetery. ------- THE PIONEER, VOL. XVIII, No. 3 -67- -- - �TlB BellmVBI FAMILT continuod Frederick and Louisa's oldest child, Henry, married Natalie SURMAN on 9 June 1873. Natalie was born 26 Oct. 1851 in Texas. Her parents, Chades and Doris SURMAN were born in Germany, but they came to Santa Claus, Indiana about 1865. Essentially Henry and Natalie were neighbors. They had five children, John William, Elmer, Elfreda, Wayne and Susan. Both Henry and Natalie lived and died in Spencer County in the Township of Grass. Henry died on July 6, 1912. Henry's death record states that his father was Fred S. and that his mother was Elizabeth TEGNOR. On that record, Henry's last name is spelled with an "F". Natalie died August 21, 1926. They are both buried in the German Evangelical Cemetery, which is near Chrisney, Indiana. Also buried there are Elfreda, who died as a child, and Elmer, who died at the age of33. The cemetery is now gone, or covered with vegetation. It was impossible to find. John William and his wife are buried in a small cemetery in Christney (sic) Indiana. There is not much known about Elizabeth SCHRIEFER. The 1870 census enumerates Elizabeth as 18 years old and living with Christian WYTTENBACK family. She appears again in the sale of her land in 1873. That is the last record of "Aunt Lizzie." Susannah SCHRIEFER went to KansaslMissouri perhaps with our grandfather William, about 1880. She married a Charlie Johnson and they had no children. However, Aunt Susie played a big role in the lives of William's children (especially the younger children) in that she came to North Dakota after Nannie died and helped to take care of the family. She and Charlie were living in Belton, Missouri when William moved there in 1917 and while I do not have a record of her death, I know that she died in Belton after 1930. AlDIBW PIDBBBTBL AID MATILDA I. MATlBT Nancy K PROEBSTEL married our grandfather, William. Nancy's father, Andrew, was born in Germany on 26 Dec. 1822. He married Matilda Jane MATNEY on 8 Oct. 1850 in Westport, Jackson County, Missouri. They are enumerated (as PROPSTALL) on a ' Federal Census for Clay County, Missouri, 1850 and dated Nov. 1850. Living in the household was Andrew's mother, Katherine, age 68, born in Germany. This same census record enumerates a brother, John, age 24, and two brothers who appear to be twins, age 20 (one is Frederick, the other name is unreadable). Then living as neighbors are Jacob PROPSTALL, age 35, his wife and five children' , Valentine . PROPSTALL, his wife and five children and Vendall PROPSTALL, age 28 and his wife. It is interesting that Valentine PROEBSTEL married Malinda MATNEY, daughter of William Matney (Charles MATNEY's uncle) in Westport, Jackson County, Missouri, August 5, 1842. --- ------- -- ----------------- -68- THE PIONEER, VOL. XVIII, No. 3 �TIl SCllmVl1 PAMIL Ycontinued Andrew and Matilda had five children, Louisa, born 1852; Charles, born Nov. 1856, Margaret, born ca 1859; Nancy born 13 Jan 1863; and Emma born Dec. 1866. Louisa, Charles and Margaret were born in Missouri and undoubtedly in Clay County. Nancy and Emma were born in Kansas. The family is enumerated in the Kansas 1870 Federal Census as living in Wyandotte County, Shawnee Twp. It is interesting that Andrew PROEBSTEL bought land in what was then Kansas Territory, on February 27, 1860 from George BIGKNIFE, who was a Shawnee Indian. These lands were given to George BIGKNIFE by the U. S. Government and he sold them while Kansas was still a territory and the land under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Later, in 1861 Andrew bought the land from George Q.A. and Susan MATNEY. George was the brother ofMatilda._ Andrew PROEBSTEL died 30 March 1895. Matilda MATNEY PROEBSTEL died 1 December 1915 in Argentine, Kansas. She was buried on 2 December in the Maple Hill Cemetery in Argentine. Louisa married Ed POINTER She was living with her parents with her two children, Charles and Edward in 1880 and 1885. In the 1885 census Louisa is listed as divorced. Charles PROEBSTEL married Mary (last name unknown). They had two daughters, Edna and Anna. William and Nannie named their youngest daughters for Charles' daughters. Margaret PROEBSTEL married Byron CLARK. They eventually moved to Los Angeles. Emma PROEBSTEL married IW. PARKER They had four children, Emmett, Velma, Diana and Robert. Emma took care of her mother, Matilda, after Andrew died. Emma's husband Joe died sometime after 1900 and before 1910. I do not know when Emma died. 1011 WILLIAM SCllmPl1 AID IAiCY E. PIDIBSTBL William was four years old when his father died and not yet nine when his mother died. He told his children that by the time he was nine years old, he had a stepfather and a stepmother. He talked about his stepfather (WYTTENBACH) who treated the SCHRIEFER children badly after their mother died. William told his children that he grew up in Christney and that he went to live with an uncle when WYTTENBACH treated him badly. However, I have been unable to locate William, Susie or Henry on an 1870 census living in the home of "anyone. " y-- -- \ .. To Be Continued \ \ _ _L .-00_' _ _~_ __ THE PIONEER, VOL.

Such an event took place on the day above named in the creek half a mile down the stream, where seven were baptized in four feet of water and six inches of clear mud as a basis for the minister and candidate to stand upon. The candidates belong to Elder Hulburt's number of converts from Kanwaka schoolhouse. A long train of country people started from the school room in the morning near noon and took up their line of march southward to the muddy waters of the Wakarusa, where it was published that the ordinance of baptism would be administered. A keen northwest wind was blowing a perfect gale with the thermometer at zero. Shawls and overcoats were in use by male and female and buttoned and wrapped close around to keep the chilling cold away. When the Kanwaka train arrived at the still waters there was an equal number on the bank to welcome them to the place.

He is enumerated in the home of Charles (Nannie's brother) arid Mary PROEBSTEL in the 1885 Kansas census. In that same census, Nancy is in the household of her father, Andrew PROEBSTEL. They are both listed as single. These two families lived next door to each other. William and Nannie, as she was called by her family, were married on the 17th of May 1885, in Shawnee Township, Kansas. Their wedding pictures show them to be a handsome couple. Nannie and William lived in and around Kansas City, moving several times. In 1899, William moved eight children and Nannie, expecting number nine, from Kansas to North Dakota. Aunt Tillie told the following story about that move: They left Kansas with four wagons, a carry-all and eight children (5 boys and 3 girls). On the way to North Dakota, Nannie gave birth to a child in Geddus, South Dakota and they named her Maggie Geddus SCHRIEVER.. At Cheyenne, South Dakota, while crossing the White River, one wagon came loose and floated downstream, saved by a bend in the river. It was pulled out ~fthe water, repaired and made ready to go on. Dad and boys worked at Gedd:us on the railroad and in the Black Hills in the lumber mills until it warmed up in the spring. Then they went on to North Dakota. They joined Ed WYTTENBACK (William's half-brother) in the Black Hills. The \yyTTENBACHs had two wagons. Then they went on to North Dakota together, arriving at Valley City in 1901. In 1902 they moved onto a farm south of Sanborn where three more children, Elmer, Edna and Annie were born. William and his family are enumerated on the 1910 Federal Census for Barnes County, North Dakota. The record says that the enumerations were taken from 21 April, 1910. On the 22nd of April 1910, Nancy K PROEBSTEL SCHRIEVER died at the age of 47. -------- THE PIONEER, VOL. XVIII, No. 4 - - - - - - - - - - - - --88- -- - - - - �THB SCIIIBVBIl FAMILYcontinuod That means that the record for this family could have been recorded the day before N annie died, or for sure it was taken during a time of her death and burial. When Nannie died, my mother was only five years old and her sister Annie was four. Mom tells this heartbreaking story. She said that in those days the body was laid out in the living room before the burial. It was decided that the younger children would not view their mother's body~ But just before the burial the older girls took the younger children outside and held them up to a window. From that window they had their last look at their mother. After Nannie's death, William said he would never remarry because he did not want his children to have a stepmother and be treated as he was. The older girls were assigned roles as "mother" to the younger children and were expected to take care of them Mother has shared some stories about their life in North Dakota after her mother died. At one time William decided that he wanted Edna and Annie to go to school in town. So, Tilly and Em moved to an apartment with Edna and Annie so that the girls could attend school. Well, this apparently did not work out too good, the older girls were bored and never stayed home. The younger girls started hanging out in a restaurant owned by friends of William, after school. Anyway, the activities of the girls was soon reported to William and he brought them all home. Mom thinks that is when Aunt Susie came to live with them The winters in North Dakota are severe and William insisted that a lighted candle be left on the table by a window so that anyone who may have been out or lost would have a light to follow to safety. It is that kind of story that tells me that William had strong feelings for his fellow man. Perhaps because of his childhood without parents, he was conditioned to care for others in need. On these long winter nights Aunt Susie and William would sit at the table and talk about childhood and their life with the WYTTENBACHs. Their lives were confined to the farm and that also meant that the meals they ate come from what was produced on the farm Mom tells the story about having weiners, from the store, maybe once a year. This was a real treat to the younger children so they would play a game at the meal to see who could make their weiner "last the longest". One time Elmer had made his last longer than the others and William, not aware of the game the children were playing, thought that he did not want the weiner so he reached over to Elmer's plate, forked the wiener and gave it to the dog! -89- THE PIONEER, VOL. XVIII, No. 4 �TBB BellmVBI FAMILT continuod Mom also said that her father did not like "Jam pies." Come to find out, what William called jam pies were pies that had so little fiUing that he said the two crusts were "jammed together." We visited North Dakota and Aunt Maggie in 1976 and she took us out to the farmhouse where the SCHRIEVER family lived. No one was living there so we were able to walk through the house with Aunt Maggie describing how the family lived. We went up to the upstairs rooms where the children slept. This brought to my mind another incident in my . life. When I complained about having to sleep with Janis (eleven years younger than nie), Mom told me that it washer feeling that one was lucky to sleep only two in a bed, because in her family, in North Dakota more people than that shared a bed -- sleeping crosswise. It humbled me a little. Aunt Maggie also showed us how they would dig a tunnel through the snow from the back porch of the house to the barn in the winter and she showed us the window where the lighted candle was kept. My daughters Nancy and Kathy had made a trip across country with Mom and Dad a few years earlier. They also stopped in North Dakota and were thrilled with the stories that Mom and Aunt Maggie told as they showed them through the house. Edward WYTTENBACH and his family lived in Valley City and in a sense they were considered "the rich relatives." They had a real house in town and Ed was a building contractor. Mom said that he went out at night and played cards. However, they were very surprised to find out when he died that he had gambled away all of his money and his wife, Clara, had to go live with a daughter. Byron and Dorothy SCHRIEVER have among their collection offamily mementos, a Lexington High School (in Eastern Oregon) graduation announcement for Frank Edward WYTTENBACH. Frank would have been about 22 years old and he probably traveled with the POINTER family when they moved to Lexington to farm. In 1917 William SCHRIEVER moved his family to Missouri. On the 3rd day of June 1918, he purchased from Emma LONGSHORE lots one and two in block 10 in SCOTT and COLBERN's first addition to the city of Belton, MO. THE PIONEER, VOL. XVIII, No.4 -90- �TlB SCHlmVBI FAMIL YcDnUnuad My mother told me this story about the family move back to Missouri in 1917. Emma, Edna and Emma's daughter Rose went on the train. Annie, Elmer, Maggie and Dad went in a Model T. The trip took eight days. Charles and Fred brought the spring wagon with bedding and dishes. In 1920, William SCHRIEVER is listed in the 1920 census for Cass County, Missouri. Living with him are Edna, age 13; Annie, age 12; Maggie, age 19; Elmer, age 16; Emma SMITH and granddaughter Rose SMITH. Actually, Edna would have been 14 and Annie 13. The census was taken previous to their birthdays that year. The census also said that William's mother and father were born in Ohio - one more indication that no one in the family knew anything about their father's parents. William SCHRIEVER died on February 25, 1930 at 73 years of age. He is buried in Sanborn, North Dakota. His obituary in the Cass County Democrat, Harrisonville, Missouri and dated Thursday, March 6, 1930: "Mr. SCHRIEVER was a good citizen -- he was a man of very few words but a deep thinker. He was a loving father and deeply respected by his children and his many friends. " I believe these words really describe William SCHRIEVER who I just recently have become acquainted with. Hanry Bugana SCHlmVBI Henry, the oldest of William and Nannie's children was born 30 Nov. 1885 in Kansas City, Kansas. He was obviously named for William's brother, who was probably named for Frederick's father. I do not know where "Eugene" came from I don't know much about Henry except that he spent many years in Pendleton, Oregon farming. Henry never married. He died 2 February 1952 in Pendleton, Oregon and he is buried there. Harry ByrDn SCHlmVBI Harry was born 25 February 1887 in Kansas City, Kansas. I can't find a Harry in either the SCHRIEFER or the PROEBSTEL family. Perhaps Byron came from Nannie's sister's husband Byron CLARK. Harry was in the Army during World War I and was stationed in France. Later after the war he went to eastern Oregon to work on a farm There he met and married Myrtle Magdalena McNEIL on 28 October 1925. Harry and Myrtle had three children, Jean Marie, born 17 Feb. 1928; Byron Neil, born 20 Aug. 1930 and David -91- THE PIONEER, VOL. XVIII, No.4 �TIE BeumvER PAMIL Y continued I Gordon, born 2 Jan 1933. In 1936 Harry moved his family to Mololla, Oregon. His son, David, still farms that property. Harry died in Portland, Oregon from Leukemia on 10 May 1957. Myrtle died in Canby, Oregon on 20 Oct. 1986. They are buried in the Smyrna Cemetery at Yoder, Oregon. Emma Elizabeth BellRIEVER Emma was born on 6 July 1888 in Kansas City, Kansas. Emma's name is easy. She was named fot Emma PROEBSTEL and William's sister Elizabeth. She first married Mike SMITH in 1915. They had one child, Jeannette Rose, born 29 July 1916. Em became mother of the family after Nannie died. She moved to Belton, Missouri with the family. Here she married Sid BELCHER, then later she married John CAMPBELL and lived the rest of her life in that area. She died 22 August 1972 in Harrisonville, Missouri. Matilda Louise BellRIEVER Matilda was born 15 Sep. 1889 in Argentine, Kansas. Matilda, who was called Tillie by the family, was named for Nannie's mother, Matilda, and her sister Louise. She married Henry W. SAUER in Valley City, North Dakota on 25 June 1913. They had three daughters, Grace, born 26 July 1914; Gertrude, born 28 April 1916, and Donna born 27 July 1927. Henry SAUER died 22 July 1944 in North Dakota and Tillie died 16 April 1984 in Portland, Oregon .. Bus an Gertrude BellRIEVER Susan, known as Gertie to the family, was born 7 Sept 1894 in Columbia, Kansas. Susan was obviously named for William's sister. I do not know where the name Gertrude came from She married Clifford E. JABERG on 7 March 1916 in Sanborn, North Dakota. Later they moved to Orange County, California. They had three children, William Rollin, born 27 Nov. 1917; Stella Elizabeth born 12 Oct. 1921; and Edna Angeline, born 8 Oct. 1919. Gertie died from complications of cancer 16 Aug. 1932. Clifford Jaberg died 15 march 1961. They are buried in Fairhaven Cemetery, Santa Ana, CA. Prederlck William BellRIEVER Frederick was born 15 Sept. 1895 in Kansas City, Kansas. It is perhaps coincidence, but I do think that he was named for William's father. And this would indicate that William SCHRIEVER did know the name of his family and for some reason (perhaps the hurt) THE PIONEER, VOL. XVIII, No.4 -92- �TIlB SCllmVBll PAMILT continued chose to not talk about him. Fred traveled to Kansas City with the family in 1917 and went to work in the iron works in Argentine (once the silver smelter). He never married. He died June 1918. The doctor said that it was from complications caused by working in the smelter. Arthur lett SCllmVBI Arthur, or Archie, as he was known by the family, was born 15 March 1896, Prairie Center, Kansas. Somehow Prairie Center doesn't sound right. I find a Prairie Village. Who he is named for has me stumped. However, Dorothy SCHRIEVER has a census record that leads her to believe it is a family name from "way back." Maybe one day Byron, Dorothy or I will solve it. Archie served in the Navy, probably during World War I. He married Sarah Lorene NICHOLS around 1934. They had five sons, James William, born 29 June 1935; Charles David, born 13 June 1937; Delbert LeRoy, born 24 Oct. 1938; Arthur Jeff: born 9 Aug. 1946 and James Arthur, born 25 June 1949. He died in Lexington, Missouri on 10 January 1981. Charles Bdward SCllmVBI Charles, or Chuck, as he was called in the family, was born 9 March 1898 in Prairie Center, Kansas. Charles was named for Nannie's brother Charles. He never married. He, like Henry, lived in and around Pendleton, Oregon and worked various places. I knew him because he would, occasionally, come from eastern Oregon and visit our family. After he retired, he moved to Canby, Oregon, where he lived until he died on 21 Aug. 1985. Chuck is buried in Yoder, Oregon at the Smyrna Cemetery. Maggie Geddus SCllmVBI Maggie was born on 20 July 1900 at Geddus, South Dakota. She was born during the family move from Kansas to North Dakota. Maggie was named for Nannie's sister, Margaret. She married Julius AXELSON in 1919 or 1920. They had two sons, Fredrick William, born 25 May 1929 and Allen Wayne, born 30 Aug. 1932. I do not know when Julius died. Maggie died 21 Apri11986. Blmer Grant SCnmVBI Elmer was born 11 August 1902 in Sanborn, North Dakota. It appears that Elmer was named for Henry's (William's brother) son Elmer. He was a "special child." He lived at home and was cared for by Em after their father died. Then he lived on the farm at Molalla for a period of time. He went into a facility in Portland, Oregon. He died in -93- THE PIONEER, VOL. XVIII, No. 4 �TIE SCIRmVER PAMILT continued Portland on September 9, 1955. Elmer is also buried in Yoder, Oregon at the Smyrna Cemetery. Edna Katherine SCIRmVEI Edna was born 11 April 1905 in Sanborn, North Dakota. Edna was named for Charles PROEBSTEVs daughter .. It is possible that her middle name was her mother's middle name. She went to college for a couple of years and then she taught school. She went to Mountainair, New Mexico to teach. There she met Owen Orin SABIN and they were married on 10 May 1930. They have three children, Phyllis Jean, born 28 Feb. 1932; Owen Wayne, born 2 April 1933; and Janis Elaine, born 9 April 1,943. Annie Marie' SCIImVER Annie was born 7 Sept 1906 in Sanborn, North Dakota. Annie was also named for a daughter of Charles PROEBSTEL. First she married Billy FANN and by him she had one child, William (called Billy), who was born 8 May 1925. Billy died in a drowning accident on 6 May 1934. Second she married Edward Oral SAULTZ on 11 May 1928. They lived in Belton, Missouri and had nine children. James Edward was born 11 Dec. 1929; Patsy Sue was born 27 May 1931; Gerald Eugene was born 10 July 1933; Gertrude Annette was born 18 Dec. 1937 and she died of cancer 15 Dec. 1984; Ellen Rose was born 15 July 1939; the twins Robert Oral and Barbara Marie were born 13 Dec. 1941; Donald David was born 12 May 1946 and Terri June was born 26 Nov. 1949. She died as the result of a car accident, 14 Feb. 1971. Oral SAULTZ died 20 July 1987 and Annie died 12 April 1991. They are buried in the Belton Cemetery, Belton, Missouri. All twelve children of William and Nannie SCHRIEVER are accounted for. However, "the tale is not told." It will go on and on. Byron has done a wonderful job tracking down the first cousins and getting family data from each one. Adding numbers to the generations and adding to the story is the responsibility of each of you and your children. I THE PIONEER, VOL.

There was enough to feed a regiment and have many loaves left. Mrs. HUGHES exhibited some thirty varieties of baking, including com bread, wheat bread, rye bread, silver cake, sponge cake, doughnuts and other kinds too numerous to speak of Miss Sarah BROWN also exhibited a number of samples of bread and cake. Miss A. G. DaLEE had sponge, pound and other cakes, elegant to behold and no doubt good to taste. Mrs. JOHNSON of the Lawrence House exhibited a showcase of bread and cake that was indeed tempting. Mrs. SPERRY also had a very fine display of bread and cake, most tastefully arranged for exhibition. Mrs. WILLETT enters a lot of bread and cake. Mrs. BRYANT, Mrs. ALVIN, Miss MARKMAN, Mrs. COVEL, Mrs. WALKER and Miss DOUGLAS each have a fine display of bread and cake. Mrs. RIGGS had on exhibition a fine lot of bread and cake and also splendid samples of canned fruits. Mrs. GmSON exhibited splendid samples offruit cake, bread and pickles. Mrs. J. T. GRANT, samples of different kinds of cake. Mrs. TYLER, 25 varieties of bread, cake and different kinds of baking. In examining the fine display of bread and cakes we may have failed to get the names of all exhibitors. The display in this department far exceeded anything we had expected and in the judgment of many was ahead of any State fair yet held. The ladies did well, and the interest they have taken in our county fair is highly commendable. JUCmtPTllm FROM TH£ W£SmRN HOM£ JOURNAL S£PT£MB£R 14-, 1~71, PA6£ 1 -101- THE PIONEER, VOL.

We do not know the date or place of her birth, but she came to America with a group of women known as Tobacco Women who were sent out to be the wives of settlers. Their passage was to be paid the English Govt. in tobacco. But not being chosen in marriage they were to become indentured servants for seven years. My father used to twit my mother saying, "Your grandmother was bought with Tobacco." However, Jemima landed a man and was chosen by Wal ter MATINEY, a wheelwright, and served no period of indenture. Frequently in her day the white went into block houses against the Indians. She had seen George WASHINGTON and said the Indians could not shoot him. Aunt Julia said the Indians said he led a charmed life. No arrows could touch him. Well, this Jemima married Walter MATINEY, a Scotchman. Branches of the family have spelled the name MATHNEY. She had two children recorded, Jemima the 2nd and Nancy. This Nancy was your great-grandmother and my grandmother. She married Henry COREL whose people came from Ireland. Some spelled it CURL or CORRELL. Nancy COREL MATINEY was my grandmother. I just missed being named Nancy. Henry spoke with a very Irish brogue. Mama and Aunt Julia often mimicked him. It was from them I learned that "praties" were potatoes. Nancy COREL, Henry her husband, Will their teen-age son, and Nancy's sister Jemima all died within a week of measles. The epidemic of measles at Lawrence was in the Kansas History I studied in school. Many died as they did not know what it was. They survived an epidemic of smallpox and died of measles. All four of them lay dead in the house - one room - at the same time. The neighbors came in and built coffins of native walnut lumber so abundant in Kansas at an early day. Here I might pause to tell you that our old home on 8th St. in Independence, across from the Elks, was of walnut lumber, dimensions, floor and all. Speaking of her parents, Mama said she could still hear the hammers building the coffins. Mama was fourteen. All of those who died in the measles epidemic were buried on Mt. Oread. Later this was vacated as a cemetery but the graves being unmarked it is likely their ashes are still there. So many years passed before it was vacated. In her childhood Mama had seen the chemical match and baking soda introduced. Her father had struck fire with a flint and steel. Cakes, etc. were raised by beating them a lot. You've heard of beaten biscuit. Also stoves made -105- THE PIONEER, VOL. XVIII, No.4 �FAMILY HISTORY continued their appearance. The first stoves were called step-stoves. The names to this point run MORRIS, MATlNEY and COREL. Grandmother COREL remembered the fall of the stars. They thought it an omen. Scientists have since found the cause. In the 1850's Henry COREL, my mother's father, and brothers and families, their stock, etc., came to Kansas. They came from Virginia by flatboat down the Ohio, Mississippi and Missouri Rivers. The boat foundered and they unloaded at Wyandotte and drove by schooner to Westport, Missouri using ox teams. Mama was seven years old. Kansas City was not started then. They began a homestead on Little Blue, now Kansas City's famous Cliff Drive. But finding themselves in slave territory they moved on to Lawrence, the main seat of anti-slave activity. Henry COREL died leaving his claim unproved. His brother Will proved up on this land in his own name, beating the youngsters out of their inheritance. Mama said she had seen a steamboat on the river at Lawrence in a time of high water. This is a disputed subject but Mama stood pat. JOHN SALATHIEL COMES TO LAWRENCE This is where the SALATHIELS come in. John SALATHIEL was born in Ironton, Ohio. He ran off at 12 years and was a cook's helper on a river boat. He came to Kansas on horseback in the l850s with two young fellows. He said the first impression of Kansas was the profusion of wild flowers. He went into the clothing business in Lawrence, also general merchandise. This is where he and Jemima COREL met. His father was dead and he moved his mother and sister Mary to Lawrence. His mother was bedridden. John SALATHIEL is listed in Oswald Garrison VILLARD's John Brown Fifty Years Later as one of John BROWN's Stubbs Co. These men formed a sort of underground to get abused slaves out of Missouri into the underground railway and to Canada. When the monument to John BROWN was erected in Osawatomie, Kansas shortly before World War I, there were only 3 living members of the Stubbs Co. I guess it was in about 1912. They wanted Papa to come and sit on the platform. He refused, saying they had no idea they were making history. He went to the celebrating, however. John BROWN was a Cromwellian fanatic, took every horrid command in the Bible literally. John SALATHIEL' s parentage. John and Jane SALATHIEL were parents of Morgan SALATHIEL. This ancestor was very religious and active in what was called the Independent Church. He and his wife Jane never left Wales. Morgan, their son and my father's father, was born in Cardiff, Wales on April 1, 1800 and married Margaret THOMAS at Tradagar, Wales Mumuttshire. She was the daughter of David and Mary THOMAS of Tradagar. Morgan and Margaret came to America in 1830. This Margaret was Papa's mother. So you see John SALATHIEL was a full-blooded Welshman. Morgan died in 1846 in Kimuand (spelling not clear) Virginia. His wife Margaret, Papa's mother, died in Lawrence in 1861 and was buried on Mt. Oread. THE PIONEER, VOL. XVIII, No.4 -106- �FAMILY HISTORY continued John was born at Ironton, Ohio on April 30, 1836. His sister Mary was born in Wales. Your mother was named for Aunt Mary HOWELL. The name SALATHIEL is Jewish through Greece. The Hebrew is really Shealtiel as you will find in some Bibles. Salathiel was the character written of much in fiction as the Wandering Jew. He was the one in The Apocrypha who spat on Jesus. He said, "Tarry thou 'till I come." Eugene SUE wrote a book of the same. Also the Prince of India by Lew WALLACE and Salathiel. the Wandering Jew used this legendary character. But to go back, the SALATHIEL from whom we sprang, came to Wales from Land's End. Oh yes, while I remember it, the legendary SALATHIEL rejuvenates everyone hundred years. This SALATHIEL was a metal worker and the discovery of tin in Wales brought him there. He had some sort of a foundry. He intermarried as did his descendants and Wales has many SALATHIELS, so many people have told me. This is Grandpa's background as told us by Aunt Mary. She said it was 500 years before their time that the Jewish blood could be traced. SO doubtless we are pretty mixed. Although on the Welsh side this strain, outside the Jewish blood, dates back from the Druids. Well, you know pretty much the rest. John and Jemima had nine children - John, Charles, Margaret, Thomas, Julia (who died as a baby), Henry, Walter, Agnes and Mary Jane. John never married. He died in a mine accident in Colorado. MIXED DATA OF FAMILY HISTORY Mama's father, Henry COREL, was better educated than the average of his time. He was a graduate of an academy and taught. When they came to Missouri he taught school and was furnished the food, etc. instead of wages. A rich man who owned many negroes but couldn't read or write furnished a log building. Mama said there was an old negro who came to carry the children across the creek. She said she felt so safe snuggled up to his shoulder. Jemima SALATHIEL had three sisters. Julia (18441930) married Willis MYERS and lived in Chetopa, Kansas. Lida lived in Texas and died in a storm. Her married name was McGEE. Her son, Robert Lee McGEE visited us. Rebecca, the little sister, lived with an aunt. When Mama married she took Rebecca and raised her. Rebecca was married from Mama's house to Giles PARMAN. He was a banker in Condon, Oregon. Rebecca died at the birth of twins. Lloyd PARMAN was one twin. I met him in Portland. Then there was Ethelyn FROMAN who was a graduate of Forest Grove College and taught. She is nice and seems much like us. I mean physically resembles our side. I saw a picture of Rebecca and her husband, and if I hadn't known I would have said it was Mama. -107- THE PIONEER, VOL. XVIII, No.4 �FAMILY HISTORY continued When John SPEARS, the noted Kansas Historian, was compiling his book he came to Independence and was our guest for a week. Also, Rose WALDO, who wrote Mother India came to Independence to get data for Oswald Garrison VILLARD, the Editor of Nation. A McGEE married Grandma's aunt. Grandma was married from the McGEE home in Westport, Missouri. McGEE Street in Kansas City, Missouri is named for this . family. Mama said she was married in white Swiss, resembling organdy, and wore a veil. Papa wore a shawl such as you see in Lincoln pictures. He also had a lantern of nickel, a tiny one which was quite the dog and carried by swank young men going to calIon their girls. Grandpa's mother, born in Wales, claimed second sight. She had "visions." Grandpa's sister Mary HOWELL's husband was an architect and came to Lawrence from the south. It is thought that John SALATHIEL's father Morgan came with two brothers from Wales to America, and that one brother returned. Lyndon SALATHIEL of Pontiac, Michigan, supplied this information. It was his great grand-father who returned to Wales.

My 4th great aunt Alice was widowed at 18 and left with a small baby. My 3rd great-grandma had 3 husbands. Imagine! My 4th cousin once removed, John, died a bachelor, the only one of the cousins who didn't marry. I looked for my 2nd great grandpa Smith for 12 years and finally found him. He and his wife were farmers all their lives. My great-grandparents on my father's side left Ohio and moved to Illinois •..•.. Don't you think this is interesting? .••.• Uh, where'd everybody go? �Baldwin is observing her centennial this year, but only the incorporation date can establish her chronological age. After delving into our town's beginning we find its birth had actually taken place at an earlier age. Palmyra could be considered the mother plant and from its growth and branching Baker and Baldwin were formed but only to discard the maternal roots on their way. To consider the founding of Baldwin one must first relate the history of the others. The first settlement near the townsite of Palmyra was in 1854 by Robert and Richard PEARSON. Others listed in the first settling were L. F. GREEN and Jacob CANTRELL, who took up claims. They were followed by L. N. SNYDER, H. BARRICKLOW, Dr. STILL, lA ABBOTT, D.F. GREEN, D. FRY, W. BARRICKLOW and others in 1855-1856. In June 1855, a town site of320 acres was surveyed and laid offby the Palmyra town company. Palmyra laid just north of Highway 56 which was recorded as First street and bordered on the west at about the Vinland road. Names of the streets, running east and west, were Barricklow, Sumner, Jasper, Fremont, Main, Washington, Locust, Reeder and Howard. Members of the first town company were James BLOOD, president, Capt. SAUNDERS, Amasa SOULE, L.F. GREEN, Dr. AT. STILL, D. FRY, Robert PEARSON and three BARRICKLOW brothers. It is interesting to note that on the survey Baker University was shown to the north of the city of Palmyra and the Baker lands tract south of Palmyra. Dr. Abraham STILL had moved from the Wakarusa Mission near Eudora to Blue Mound where he built a house. In the winter of 1857 a Methodist Educational Convention was called to meet at his home. Dr. STILL offered his place for a college site at this meeting. Members of the convention decided to let Dr. STILL decide on the location and name for the new school that the convention wanted to found in this area. He chose Baker after Bishop BAKER, a member of the first annual conference held in Lawrence in 1856. Dr. STILL's oldest son, Andrew Taylor STILL, moved to Baldwin in 1856 and was one of the leading members of the Palmyra Town Co. listed in the above paragraph. It was in 1858 that the town company purchased a section ofland adjacent to the city of Palmyra on the south and donated it to the Kansas Educational Association in consideration that they agree to locate an institution oflearning on it. -109- THE PIONEER, VOL. XVIII, No.4 �THE FOUNDIN6 OF BALDWIN ern' CONTINUED It was about this time that John Baldwin enters the picture. The furthering of education was this man's life's passion. Born in Bramford, Conn. in 1799, he went from there to Ohio and through his work founded the Baldwin Institute at Beer in 1845, named in his honor. The name of this school was later changed to Baldwin University. John BALDWIN then came to the Kansas Territory in 1858. He located in Palmyra and roomed and boarded with John STILL, a son of Dr. STILL. Through letters, one of Dr. STILL's daughters relates some interesting facts about Mr. BALDWIN. She refers to him as Father BALDWIN and said that he and Dr. STILL were very good friends. One can see why the two would naturally be drawn to each other in their passion for education and religion. Mr. BALDWIN worked with Dr. STILL on plans for the new school and as the plans progressed buildings were erected on the site south ofPlilmyra named Baldwin. It was decided that Milton BALDWIN, son of John, was to take charge of the new college when it was ready. However, he died of typhoid fever in August 1858 just as the new school was at its beginning. John BALDWIN had other interests for history tells us that he was an astute businessman. The Kansas Messenger, one of the first newspapers in Baldwin, dated Jan. 1, 1859, and edited by Prof B. R CUNNINGHAM relates this story, "A saw and grist mill, located at 5th and Indiana built by Mr. BALDWIN, is now in operation. There are two saws and if the winter should, as many think, be as warm as the last, they will accomplish a large amount oflabor. The grist mill is from a forward pattern and will doubtless do first rate work. " Records show that the first post office at Palmyra was founded June 29, 1857, with Norman BLOOD as the first postmaster. The name was changed to Baldwin City post office May 22, 1862, which would indicate that the town of Baldwin was then in existence even though it was not incorporated until September of 1870. Whatever the dates, Baldwin grew with the college and the mill and the business district moved from the Palmyra site to the present Baldwin City. John BALDWIN did not stay to live in the town named in his honor. He returned to Ohio soon after his son's death and later bought lands in Louisiana for schools (1867). He died in 1884 in Louisiana and is buried in Berea. Only the grave of his son, Milton, marked in the old Baldwin cemetery, remains as a reminder of our namesake.

MAKING THEM HAPPEN THE DISAPPEARING PACES - The Art of Losing your Pamilv When was the last time you had a black and white photograph taken? Mine was in 1953; I was 17 and in a cap and gown for high school graduation. My kids appear in a b/w portrait probably taken in 1962 -- but from then on, everything is in color. Even though great advances in color film have been made since it was introduced after the "Big War" (WWII to you younger folk), there is still strong feeling that color photos, both snapshot and portrait, will last only about 50 years. And that is if good quality paper (like Kodak paper) is used. Already my kids' own high school graduation photos (from 1975 and 1977) have shifted color and are fading. My oldest daughter's beautiful wedding portrait from 1973 is all in shades of the palest yellow and soon will need to come down off the wall because the image will be gone. Some images of my grandkids are already disappearing - especially those darling shots taken at the malls and department stores. When these are gone, there will be no photographic records of them left, because no one uses black and white film any more. If you're my age, your descendants down the road may know what you looked like at an early age but they'll never know what your kids and grandkids looked like unless you take immediately put a roll of black and white film in your camera and get a series of snapshots of each of your kids and grandkids-as well as of you and your significant other. Another alternative is for you to take black and white shots of all your important photos! This is not hard to do. It helps, of course, if you have a camera with interchangeable lens, because you can use a close up lens and get some really good black and white reproductions. But if you don't have such a camera, you don't have to be left out. Individually you can ask a friend with a more sophisticated camera to take them for you, with you paying for the film and developing. Secondly, you can take your color photos to a photo lab and have them done for you (a more costly way but at least you will have a black and white photo whose image will last practically forever.) Or thirdly, you can arrange with a photographer to come to your genealogical society meeting at which time he or she will make black and white copies of color color portraits or snapshots you bring. The photographer, if he or she is a genealogist, may offer to do this for no charge other than her cost. Details can be negotiated. Because I want my descendants to have the chance at knowing what my family looked like, I made a resolution that by year's end 1995, I would have a complete black and white photographic record of my family. I still have a few left to take -- with two great-grandbabies due this fall. Digging for roots is fun, but documenting our families for posterity is invaluable. Don't let inertia or inexperience keep you from doing this very important task. Prom a talk g1ven by Bobby Title -111- THE PIONEER, VOL.

It does seem so at times, for the town is not a news-making center and incidents of a sensational character are very few. But even with these conditions, there is something happen(ing) in Lawrence in the course of a year, or even in the course of a month, a week, and almost in the course of every day. When one looks back over the files of the local newspapers the number of events that have been recorded is astonishgly large for a twelve month (period), and so it was during the last year. A review of Lawrence from a historical standpoint, as made in the following chronological summary, gleaned from the files of the Journal, gives a pretty fair idea of the activity of the town, and shows that things are not as quiet as they seem, and that there is something going on all the time. The summary of past events herewith given will be a matter of much interest to most readers of the Journal, and may prove a valuable reference slip for coming weeks and months, when it is desired to look back and see on just what date a certain event occured. The chronology is not as complete as it should be, but the limitations of time and space have curtailed the work so that it might be given in as brief a manner as possible, but the leading events in the history of the last twelve months are pretty well recorded.

HART and Rev. Mrs. HART departed this life Sunday, July 15, 1905, aged 22 years, 5 mos., 27 days. He was born in Washington County, Kansas. The family moved to Lecompton when Calvin was quite a small boy. He attended Hig~ School this year until the last of February, when his health began to fail. He had to dispence his studies which he hoped to resume later on. But he gradually grew weaker and became bedfast about a week before his death. His demise came as a shock to the entire community. H()wever,we must bow to the will of Him who doeth all things well. Calvin was a young man of very exemplary habits and was liked by all who knew him. He was gifted with intelligence above the average,and being very ambitious no doubt had he lived could have made his mark in the world. He was a member of the Radical U.B. Church at the time of his death. Was converted at the age of ten years, and renewed his covenant with the Lord about two years ago in a revival held in this town. Friends and neighbors extend sympathy' to the bereaved family. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. Reis, assisted by Rev. Snyder Rev.Anna REIS Lecompton Sun July 21,1905 NEW IN TOWN Dr. M W NAGLE, veterinary surgeon· and dentist has again located in Lawrence; office, Spurgeon's barn.

From pionee'r evangelist Sam Kelsall in 1867 to the Rev. Dave Petersen today, many men of the cloth preached at the little settlement-to all kinds of people. Now, just 20 parishoners are on the church's membership role, although a few more families regularly attend services but never have joined. FRANCES KORB of Tonganoxie, longtime member and President of the church's Ladies Aid Society, said other loyal supporters live outside the area and cannot attend the church but they help financially. Like many in today's congregation, she said, they are descendants of Reno settlers, and may even have attended the church as a child. Next Sunday, a Reno Country Folks Reunion is planned to bring back many of these folks, as well as local familiites with connections to the community and church. Organized by Norman Hemphill, whose father was a Reno settler, the reunion will be at the church, beginning at 9:30 a.m. Richard Kelsall of Phoenix, a great-grandson of the church's founder, will preach the sermon. A catered dinner will follow. Mrs. Korb said the congregation hopes donations from the event will help pay for having the church painted, the only maintenance work that currently needs to be done. ONE RECENT Sunday, a dozen churchgoers-four men and eight womenlistened as Petersen, who also is pastor at Tonganoxie United Methodist Church, offered a sermon on the importance of showing love through actions and words. Hazel Metzger played the organ, and taught the Sunday School lesson after the church service; Arnold Torneden handled the offertory; and everyone sang, the ministe~s booming voice carrying above the older voices of his small flock. Petersen also took time during the service to chat with congregation members about their lives during the past week, about progress on getting the church painted, and about events during the previous week. One of the events, in Tonganoxie, honored one of that town's patronesses, 97-year8 THE PIONEER, VOL XVX, No.1 �old Florence Riford, who had paid a visit from her home in California. DThat was quite a shindig you folks put on Monday night," Petersen said of the recognition celebration, held at the Florence Riford Senior Center in Tonganoxie. DI was impressed. Three-fourths of Reno was there. You folks are strong leadership there. I was real proud." They talked for a few minutes about Mrs. Riford, and then brought one another up to date on their own families and on ailing friends in the. community. Petersen returned to his pulpit, offered a prayer of thanksgiving for family, friends and the community of faith, and they all mited the Lord's Prayer together. Evangelist Kelsall would -have enjoyed the service. Back in the 1860s, he preached first under a tree in Reno, and then in a waiting room at the town's railroad station, _according to fiistorles of the church and a town researched and written by Mrs. Korb, who was born near the community and lived there both as a child and an adult. Later, Kelsall presented his sermons in a one-room building called "The Chapel House," and in 1890, he donated land for a real church as well as a school and cemetery. The first church was built in 1891 by the settlers, who worshiped together despite different faiths and language barriers. Today, congregation members still point out that Kelsall and his early-day successors had remarkably diverse congregations. Among the settlers were Irish, Scottish, German, French and English immigrants, as well as railroad workers, American Indians and former slaves. Reno is situated on what once -was Delaware Indian land, Mrs. Korb's history reveals, and an Indian camp on nearby Nine Mile Creek drew many native Americans on their way to relocation in Indian Territory. At the end of the Civil War, a number of former soldiers and 400 freed slaves settled in Reno Township. At the church's dedication Aug. 16, 1891, the superintendent of a -blind asylum in Kansas City, Rev. Allen Buckner, preached a sermon and informed the congregation that $700 still was needed to finish paying for the building and furniture, which cost a total of $1,900. MRS. KORB'S history notes that although the congregation, which numbered 220 that day, already had given generously, $500 was raised at the morning service -and the balance that evening. The church was debt-free at its opening. Evangelist Kelsall never preached in the church he founded. Instead, its first minister was John Jacobs, a Baptist who was a blacksmith in Reno. From the earliest days, Mrs. Korb and Petersen noted, the community's social life, as well as its spiritual life, centered on the THE PIONEER, VOL XVX, No.1 9 �church. Bazaars were held in the fall and oyster suppers in the winter. Spelling bees, plays, box suppers and lectures, including one by Bishop Quayle ·of· Baker University, also were staged, and Thanksgiving dinners and annual homecomings were held each November. Today, the homecomings are still held, in October, and there's a Christmas gettogether. For the first time this year, they didn't hold an Easter breakfast, which has been a tradition. IN 1918, the first church burned, Mrs. Korb wrote, but the community -Many of the early families had rallied quickly to deal with the shock. intermarried and the church they lost had become a part of their lives, she wrote, so they immediately decided to build and pay for a new church, just as they had in 1891. In the early 1900s, the women of the church formed the Ladies Aid Society to further promote lithe financial, social and general well-being of the church. Mrs. Korb has the secretary/treasurer's book from. 1915 to 1925, and among the endeavors recorded there are ice cream socials, plays, watermelon feeds and chicken frys. The women put on election dinners, made quilts and dresses, and held -hen parties, where every woman .brought a laying hen to sell. Their efforts helped pay for songbooks, insurance and coal for the church, as well as ·the minister's salary. The women also spent time on charity work, including making 40 little dresses for children in wartorn Europe, packing 42 dozen eggs for Bethany Hospital in Kansas City, and sending a box of dressed chickens and canned fruit to the Deaconess School in Kansas City. II U U BACK IN THE church's heyday, during the late 1940s and 1950s, summer Bible School sessions drew 300 children; today, there are no Bible School classes. Indeed, the youngest member of the congregation is 65. As the children moved away, Petersen said, many of the older folks left their farms to retire in Tonganoxie, but -they can still go back to the church. Everybody kind of feels at home in their nitch. a He said that. in the past 20 years, the congregation has had a number of student pastors from St. Paul's Seminary in Kansas City, but three or four years ago, they went back to working with the Tonganoxie Methodist Petersen has been their minister, something they'd done much· earlier. pastor since June, and he said that although they regularly invite new people moving into the area to attend church, those attempts have not met with success. Most .p~ople· m~ving to the suburbs, he noted, aren't interested in joining something new. In fact, many want to cut back on such commitments. Despite the lack of growth, Petersen said, members of the Reno 10 THE PIONEER, VOL XVX, No.1 �congr~gati~n don't worry about their church's future, or how long they will be able to keep the doors open. Instead, he said, they continue to invest in the building and to maintain their relationships with one another and those loyal to the church who are unable to be a part of the congregation each Sunday. aThe attitude is, a he said, ato live it as it goes along. n Lawrence Journal World May 7, 1989 ~ It's A Wending· ~ The wedding of Mr. Arthur H.

Sweets 17 THE PIONEER, VOL. XIX, No. 3 & 4 �1(Tt/vfI:J{JSCT/J{C'E by Mr. C.H. HOYT On October 4, 1854, a small steamboat "Poplar Star" came to a stop at Westport Landing, now Kansas City, Mo., loaded with emigrants bound for Kansas. Among them was your humble servant, father, mother, and four sisters. The family lived in Kansas City the year '55. I saw the Missourians cross the river from Liberty and Boonville on their way to Kansas. They made their headquarters at the Eldridge house where I was working. I saw the late Gov. REEDER of Kansas at various times at the house on his way east. The hotel was full of drunken Missourians day and night. Gov. REEDER came downstairs into the bar room on the arm of Col. ELDRIDGE. He had on a hickory shirt and an ax over his shoulder, a pipe in his mouth, passed through the drunken crowd of Missourians out into the night. He made his escape to the boat that had been arranged for him and was taken on board of a steamer to St. Louis. Now I want to say the part the Eldridge brothers took in helping Gov. REEDER to escape was a very brave act that night. I heard sung that night for the first time "Dixie" and such other words as "Are you square on the goose," and the clink of glasses was the order of the days and nights. They would show the Yankees a thing or two. Nit. Dixie became afterwards a famous southern song. On January 9, 1856, we arrived in Lawrence. The news had just reached Lawrence that a Free Stater had been killed at eastern Leavenworth county by the border ruffians. I went to the front or firing line at the age of 11 about, on the ridge about where John SPEER's old home now stands to head off or capture the 2800 Missourians who were investing Lawrence. I was armed with a single barrel pistol, an old pepper-box revolver and if I could have got up near enough to the 2800 I would have taken them all in care with my quick firing gun. But they must have got a tip and lit out for old Mazo. I was with Lane at Lecompton and when Col. St. George MCCOOK came up with the United States marshal, Gen. LANE stepped into the ranks and took a gun, pulled his hat over eyes so the United States marshal would not see or know him. I got on Lane's old yellow horse and rode it around to the amusement of the free state boys. I was ready at all times day and night, no hardships too great for me, to ride a horse around a ring, to tramp out wheat and by the way that was about the only breadstuff we had in those dark and stormy days of '55 and '56. But time soon changed, Kansas came out of the smoke a free state and the war came on, but I think we got even with old Missouri. Served in all about 4 years and a half. All honor the men and women of '55 and '56. -excerpt from "The 56ers Enjoyed Saturday's Meeting Lawrence Journal World Sept. 10, 1900 submitted by Don Vaughn THE PIONEER, VOL.

'Tele. 135. ° d Q G) Shunganunga Boulder On May 30, 1854 the Kansas-Nebraska Act was signed by President Franklin Pierce creating Kansas Territory. Slavery was becoming a dividing wedge between the North and the South, the act left to those who would settle here the issue of whether Kansas would be with or without slavery. With the signing of the act began a flood of white settlers into the area. Many were connected to the New England Emigrant Aid Company. The purpose of the Company was to bring people with anti-slavery convictions to Kansas. It was important to Northerners that the new state, when it was received, be without slavery. The first party sent west by the New England Emigrant Aid Company left Boston, Massachusetts on July 17, 1854 and arrived at the town site August 1, 1854. There were 29 men in the first party. By September 11, sixty-seven additional members of the NEEAC and thirty-seven people who had joined en route, had arrived. On September 18, the first and second emigrant parties joined together to form a town association, adopted a constitution and planned and surveyed the town and started selling townolots and farm claims. This original plan is still obvious. Most of the streets running North and South still hold their original names. e: : DIRECTORY OF LAWRESCE AND DOUGLAS COUNTY. ::de:~ 114------------------------------------~----'u O1-, G) c.e: rn 1111 z~1 STREET DIRECTORY. tl)1I) Oil) e-~ ='111 ';: ~ HOUSJ.; XU)mERS.-Prior to the ordinance of May 1885 ~ ~ I there was no unifurm system of numbering the houses.

This self-published, soft-cover publication is the first edition of the genealogy of the descendants of Joseph Bardell who lived in Baltimore, Maryland in 1750. It begins with Josph Bardell "surfacing in colonial Maryland records about 1746 when he and his wife Jane registered the births of their sons at St. Thomas' Protestant Episcopal Church at Garrison Forest, Baltimore County (now near Owings Mills)". The author gives a short history of the Bardell surname and where others by that name are mentioned in early history. He gives marriages, deaths, birth moving through ten generations. This in depth information has been gleaned from tax lists, . census records,. historical magazines, testamentary proceedings, m:onographs, diaries, estate settlements, land patent records, etc. In 1861 the family moves to Kansas and a brief history of the reasons for the move is given. Some rode with Jim Lane and experienced the "Missouri border ruffians". Some of the surnames, besides Bardell, are Saum, Trew, Barber, Benedict, McCune, Driggs, Robinson, and Tannehill. These are the names with' Kansas connections. The book is easy to follow through and will be a great help . for those with these surnames. It was donated to the Society by the author and will be found in the Osma room of the Lawrence Public Library. Reviewed by Mary D.

He. immediately . made arrangements for a second set which was purchased by the Society and placed in the Osma Room. The reels are 16mm so at present can only be used on the reader/printer. One index is done by the husband's last name; the second is by the wife's maiden name. Mr Worley, long a volunteer genealogist in the Osma Room, has made a printed index to these reels.

Page i,'$ ~ ,: �THE FATE OF THE 1890 POPULATION CENSUS Condensed by Paul Jordan f~om an article, "First in the Path of the Firemen: The Fate of the 1890 Population Census," by Kellee Blake,. in the Spring 1996 issue (Vol. 28 No.1) of Prologue: Quarterly of the National Archives. This condensation. lacks much of the information and flavor of the original 18-page article which has 18 illustrations and 46 reference notes. The condensation omits all of the extensive information about the special enumeration of Union veterans and widows. It would be well worth the effort· to find and read the complete article which is available in the Documents Library of the University of Kansas and at many other large libraries. Searchers of Kansas genealogical information are fortunate that state censuses are available for 1885 and 1895 at the Kansas State Historical Society and the University of Kansas, and that the Historical Society is in the process of indexing the 1895 census. Reference sources routinely dismiss the 1890 census re60rds as "destroyed by fire" in 1921. Examination of the records of the Bureau of Census and other federal agencies, however, reveals a far more complex tale. This is a genuine tragedy of records--played out before Congress fully established a National Archives--and eternally anguishing to researchers. In March 1896, before final publication of all general statistics volumes, the original 1890 special schedules were badly damaged by fire and destroyed by Department of the Interior order. No damage to the general population schedules was reported at that time. Despite repeated ongoing requests by the secretary of commerce and others for an archives building where all census schedules could be saf~ly stored, by January 10, 1921, the schedules could be found piled in an orderly manner on closely placed pine shelves in an unlocked file room in the basement of the Commerce Building. At about five 0 I clock on that afternoon, building fireman James Foster noticed smoke and immediately reported it to the desk watchman, who called the fire department. After some setbacks from the intense smoke, firemen gained access to the basement. While a . crowd of ten thousand watched, they poured twenty streams of water into the building and flooded the cellar through holes cut into the concrete floor. By 9:45 P.M. the fire ·was extinguished, but firemen poured water into the burned area past 10:30 P.M. Disaster planning and recovery were almost unknown in 1921. With the blaze extinguished, despite the obvious damage and need for immediate salvage efforts, the chief clerk opened windows to let out the smoke, and except for watchmen on patrol, everyone went home. The morning after was an archivist's nightmare, with ankledeep water covering records in many areas~ The 1890 census was stacked outside the vault and was, according to one source, "first in th~ path of the firemen." That morning, Census Director Sam Rogers reported the extensive damage to the 1890 schedules, estimating 25 percent destroyed, with 50 percent of the remainder damaged by water, smoke, and fire. Salvage of the watersoaked and charred documents might be possible, but saving even a small part would take a month, and it would take two to three years to copy off and save all the recorqs damaged in the fire. Page 14 �The still soggy, "charred about the edges" original and only copies of the 1890 schedules remained in ruins. At the end of January, the records damaged in the fire were moved for temporary storage. Over the next few months, rumors spread that salvage attempts would not be made and that Census Director Sam Rogers had recommended that Congress authorize destruction of the 1890 census. Prominent historians, attorneys, and genealogical organizations wrote to new Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover, the Librarian of Congress, and other government officials in protest. By May of 1921 tile records were still piled in a large warehouse where, complained new census director William Steuart, they could not be consulted and would probably gradually deteriorate. Steuart arranged for their transfer back to the census building, to be bound where possible, but at least put in some order for reference. . The extant record is scanty on storage and possible use of the 1890 schedules between 1922.and 1932. In December 1932, in accordance with federal records procedures at the time, the Chief Clerk of the Bureau of Census sent the Librarian of Congress a list of papers no longer necessary for current business and scheduled for destruction. He asked the Librarian to report back to him any documents that should be retained for their historical interest. The Librarian identified no records as permanent, the list was sent forward, and Congress authorized destruction of February 21, 1933. Ironically, just one day before Congress authorized destruction of the 1890 census papers, President Herbert Hoover laid the cornerstone for the National Archives Building. In 1942 the National Archives accessioned a damaged bundle of surviving Illinois schedules as part of a shipment of records found during a Census Bureau move. At the time, they were believed to be the only surviving fragments. In 1953, however, the Archives accessionedan additional set of fragments. These sets of extant . fragments' are: . . from Alabama, Georgia, - Illinois, . Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, .North Carolina, Ohio, South Dakota, Texas, and the District of Columbia and have been microfilmed as National Archives Microfilm Publication M407 (3 rolls). A corresponding index is available as National Archives Microfilm Publication M496 (2 rolls). The loss of the 1890 schedules- and absence of part of the special. veterans enumeration are especially painful information losses for which there is no real balm. However, all of the federal census (pre-1920) might have been destroyed in that 1921 fire, especially if it had consumed the entire Commerce Building. The tragedy of the 1890 census remains a constant reminder of the necessity for a vigorous National Archives and unrelenting vigilance about the historical record. * * Page 15 * �, . .' , Census of 1890 =mm:5er of originally ~ UNITED STATES Alabama Arizona Arkansas California Colorado Connecticut Delaware Dist. of-Columbia Florida Georgia Idaho lIlinois Indiana Iowa Kansas Kentucky 41,597. 854. 42 752 983 240.' 397. 79 139· 194· 870 72 2,513 1,863. 1,603· 1,544 1,225.

This index includes some corrections made by using the 1985 publication and a microfilm copy of the 1875 census (filmed in 1945 by the Kansas State Historical Society) in the Documents Library of the University of Kansas. Most of the microfilm is clearly readable, with the exception of Clinton Township for which the writing is faded making most of it difficult to read and some nearly impossible to read, Kanwaka Township for which the copy is clear but the handwriting is difficult to interpret, and part of page one of Willow Springs Township which is faded. Page numbers are for the original census, as listed in the last column on each sheet of the 1985 typescript (first column for Eudora Township). Thus this index may be used either for a microfilm copy of the original census or for the 1985 typescript version. The 1985 typescript has Lawrence Ward 5 and Grant Township in alphabetical order rather than the order of the original enumeration. The 1985 publication omits some columns of the 1875 population schedule--Dwelling House, numbered in the order of visitation; Families, numbered in the order of visitation (included for Eudora only); Value of Real Estate; Value of Personal Property; Attended school within the year; and nine columns relating to illiteracy. The 1985 publication was typed from the original book made available by the Kansas State Historical Society. The compilers also used a copy of the Lawrence City Directory of 1875-6 as an aid in reading some of the difficult writing; in many instances the riames from each source are given in that publication. When using this ,index, search all conceivable spellings and misspellings of the name in order to compensate for misspellings and poor handwriting in the original census and other errors. For example, not just Pierce, Peirce, and Pearce but also Biggs and Riggs; Eudall, Udall, and Yewdall; Danen and Dauen; Chouteau and Showtow. Also remember that a page of the census may have two or more occurrences of a particular surname separated by other surnames. An index for·the entire State of Kansas (157 reels of microfilm) is available at the Kansas State Historical Society, Topeka. Proofreading of this index was by Paul and Carolyn Jordan.

Latterly, it appears he has been figuring rather conspicuously as the "President of the Kansas Bank", and passing off large numbers of bills on that institution to persons in New York, Boston,. etc. He was arrested, and is now in Exeter, NH jail, awaiting the sentence of the court at the February term for his former infringement of the law, the jury having found him guil ty.

The first known inhabitants of the present Eudora area were the Kanza and Osage Native American Indians. Non-Indians could pass through at their own risk but not settle on the land from 18211854. Major Stephen H. Long of'Thomas Say's Detachment followed the Kansas River to Manhattan in 1819, but it must have been a drought year as' he called Kansas "The Great American Desert". Methodist preachers wrote that prairie grass was so tall it covered a man on horseback. The Pathfinder of the West, John C. Fremont, traversed the area in 1832 and later the Santa Fe Trail. He noted the area had a mosiac of bluestem prairie grass with oak and hickory forests in the flood plain. An early trail from Westport to Lawrence, through Eudora was called the Westport-Fremont Trail.' New Highway #10 follows the route closely. Dr. Andrew T. Still, son of Missionary Minister, Dr. Abraham Still, was a doctor and founder of Osteopathy and also a Scout Surgeon for Fremont. Buffalo Bill Cody passed this way because he'wrote his name on a rocky cliff along the Wakarusa River but apparently the blasting for the bridge for the new highway dislodged it. Abolitionist Jim Lane brought slaves through the area and even .. notorious: Quantrill stopped at ·a Eudora store at least once. In'1825 the Indians in Kansas signed a treaty restricting their territory allowing for the settlement of unclaimed land west of the Missouri River. President .Jackson's Indian Policy proposed voluntary emigration of Eastern Indian Tribes to western lands, 28 May 1830, for Indians living north of Ohio to relocate in Territorial Kansas. In the Indian Removal Act twenty-seven tribes were offered reservation land forever. The Shawnees were alloted the area south of the Kansas River. The United Tribe of Shawnee started to come to the Shawnee, Kansas area in 1825, with many Bluejacket families. The Tribe of Paschal Fish, Sr. of the Cape Girardeau, Missouri and St. Louis areas did not come until 1831. With Fish was a white man, William Jackson .taken prisoner by the Shawnee while young and raised as their own~ He married a Shawnee lady and they had at least six sons and probably one daughter, whose children were named as Paschal's nephews. She was Elizabeth. The boys were Paschal, Jr., Charles, Jesse, John, William and Isaac. Chief Fish requested a school for the children in the Kansas area, Page 39 " .". �as his children had been educated in a mission school. The Methodist Episcopal Church started the Shawnee Indian Mission near Turner, Kansas. Chief Fish died in 1834 in Wyandotte County, Kansas and his oldest son, Paschal, Jr., became head of the Tribe. Paschal Fish, Jr., was born in 1804 in Missouri and he was married before he came to this area and had some children, who were never named. They may have died in one of the terrible epidemics which decimated the Indians who had no inununity to the white man's diseases. They sometimes wiped out whole villages. The Shawnee would flee their homes and hide in the woods. In 1844 all Eudora area Shawnee fled to the woods to escape the cholera epidemic brought by the migrating white people on wagon trains. In 1849 twothirds of the tribe was afflicted. In 1831,32 and 52 were smallpox epidemics, malaria in 1835, cholera in 1837,38,42,44,49,52,54 and 55. There were measles, yellow fever and whooping cough in 1852. Paschal was a cousin of Chief Tecumseh and his twin brother, the Prophet. Paschal, Jr . was married six times. His second wife was Hester Zane, the daughter of Hannah Zane of the Wyandot Indian Tribe of Ohio and related to· the Conley sisters, who saved the Huron Cemetery in Kansas City from being moved. Paschal and Hester had four children; 1. Obadiah, born in 1848 who died in his teens, 2. Eudora A., born 1850, died 1877 in LaCygne, Kansas, age 27, 3. Leander Jackson (called Jack), born 1852 and died 1920 in Quapaw, Oklahoma and his twin brother, Andrew J., was #4. He died young before 1860. Hester died in 1852, probably from childbirth or the cholera or smallpox epidemic that year. Then Eudora and Andrew went to live with their grandmother Zane near Kansas City. Obadiah and· Jack must have stayed with ,Paschal or some other relative. The children were probably all born in the Eudora area because Paschal and his tribe moved to the Eudora area in the early 1840's and had a. ferry there, in 1846. Paschal was a blacksmith and gunsmith assistant for the Delawares in 1837 and 1838 in Leavenworth County. He was a licensed Methodist Minister from 1847-1866, a businessman and a good friend to many. Wife #3 was Consort Fish, married sometime after 1852, and she died in the 1855 cholera epidemic. Wife #4 was Martha Captain 'and she died in 1860, just after her name was placed on the Eudora Deed of February 1860, when Paschal sord 774 1/2 acres of his family's land to a German Settlement Group from Chicago, to found a town here. They named the town Eudora after Paschal's ten year old daughter. Paschal and Martha had no children but Martha had a daughter Anna Hanun, 13 years old who joined Paschal's family in 1857. Paschal married wife #5, Mary Ann McClure Steele after 1860. Paschal was also raising a niece, Mary Ann, who married Sam Wheeler, a white man. Paschal married wife #6, Jane Quinney, and she and Paschal went to Indian Territory, now Oklahoma, in 1872. They either had a child or she had a daughter. In the 1870 Douglas County Census Paschal was Page 40 'I" . • �65 and owned $2600 in Real Estate and.$350 in personal taxes. The Shawnee Indian Census in 1869 listed Paschal Fish, Leander Fish, Eudora Emmons, Dallas Emmons, Theodore Emmons, Bertie J. Emmons, and Anna Edmonds, as living in Oklahoma Indian Territory. Paschal Fish, Jr., was listed as one-half Shawnee, one-eighth Miami, . one-sixteenth Delaware and five-sixteenth white blood. Blackfish was his God father. Paschal froze to death in· February, 1894, at age 90 years. No one knows where he is buried. Paschal, and his brother, Charles, were licensed by the Kansas Legislature to operate a rope ferry over the Kansas River, northeast of Eudora in the area known as Weaver Bottom, Charles and his wife, Mary, lived near with several of their children. Charles married Mary (Henry) Barnett and they had the f,ollwing children; Elijah, John and Mary (twins) , Margaret, Thomas, and Mary had a daughter, Sally Ann. Mary Fish. and Nancy died in the cholera. epidemic of 1855. Charles paid for several burials in the old Southwest City Cemetery. Dr. Abraham Still's daughter wrote that the Germans encouraged Charles to drink and that caused his death in 1869. Col. Doniphan blazed the Military Branch of. the Santa Fe Trail from· Ft. Leavenworth, crossing at the Fish Ferry and through the present area of Eudora to meet the Santa Fe Trail at Willow Springs area, about eight miles southwest. Hundreds of soldiers, wagons, horses, and military supplies followed this shorter route from 1845, mostly in 1846. Many pioneer families also took this short cut to the trail. The soldiers wrote in their journals about the ferry and the Fish family. Paschal also ran a Papin Ferry at Topeka a couple of years. In 1854, after the Indians signed the treaty to own their reservation land individually, Paschal buil t the Fish House, a sturdy, hand-hewn log, two 'room, thatched roof house on the Fremont-Westport Trail, at the south edge of present Eudora near new Highway #10. This house was a stopove~.for early travelers by horseback, covered wagon, walkers or stagecoach. Paschal provided meals, lodging, blacksmith and other travel needs, such as he could. C.H. Dickson spent a night there when a young boy and wrote later that there was a sixteen by sixteen foot sleeping room with an open fireplace, one bed and six chairs. Bedding was buffalo robes and quilts from wagons. He slept with thirty-two people there one night while he was there. Wall to wall people!! Governor Reeder stayed hi~de~ at the Fish house one night during the pro and anti slavery sklrmlshes around Lawrence. Paschal sold his business in 1872 and went to Oklahoma where most of the Indians in Kansas had gope. Pas~hal's son, Leander Jackson, called Jack, married four times; 1. Julla Parks, 2. Rosa?, ~. Mary Katherine Large, with whom he had a son, Joseph pasca~, his ~nly ~hild. Wife 4 was Josephine Hertz. Jack promoted Indlan Leglslatlon at the Capitol in Washington, Page 41 �D.C.. His picture and his sons are in the Bureau of American Technology and Smithsonion Institute National Anthropological Archives in washington, D. C.. He built the National Hotel in Vinita, Oklahoma in 1899. He and Paschal were on the rolls of the. Quapaw Indian Nation in 1855. Eudora A. Fish married Dallas Emmons, 13 May 1868, at Qui~daro, Kansas near Kansas City. He was a bridge builder and engineer and built the walls and sidewalks for the Huron Indian Cemetery, sometimes called the Wyandot Cemetery, in 1870, where Eudora is buried. Dallas took Eudora into Indian country, now Oklahoma, in 1870 and they joined the Cherokee Indian nation, but because of her health, he took her back to Kansas but she died suddenly 10 April 1877 at LaCygne, Kansas in Linn County. A fitting marker was placed at her gravesite in 1979 at the restoration of the Huron Cemetery by the Urban Development and Planning Department of Kansas City. The four children of Eudora Fish and Dallas ~mmons were; Theodore Pascal Emmons, born 1869 at Thayer, Missouri, and he died in 1951 in Oklahoma, Bert James Emmons, born 1870 at LaCygne, Kansas and died 1900, enroute home from the Spanish-American War, Hettie Emmons was born 1872 and died in 1873 at nine month·Of age.

He married Sarah Caroline (Carrie) Hall of Virginia next and they had four children; Jerome M. Emmons, Eudora Emmons born 28 Nov 1913 in Oklahoma, Marjorie Emmons, born 1915 and Grace Emmons. Eudora and Marjorie visited Eudora and were proud of their connection to Eudora. They were guests in my home. Both are in poor health, living in Broken Arrow and Wann, Oklahoma. now. Eudora married Louie Reed and has two sons. Marj orie married Francis Rhodes and raise a niece. Dallas married his second wife, Hannah (Zane) Maglie, cousin, in 1880 and they lived in LaCygne, Kansas. Eudora's DR. ABRAM STILL AND THE INDIAN MISSION Paschal Fish, Jr. asked for a school in 1851 and Rev. Abraham Still, a Methodist ~inister and Missionary was sent to build and operate a Mission school for the Indian Children, near where the Wakarusa meets the Kansas river. The school building was a twostory, hewn log house with two rooms upstairs and two down and had a tI;atched roof. ~t was on Section 8, Township 13, Range 21, about a mlle from the rlver at about 1215 Elm Stret in present Eudora. Abraham Still wa~ a minister, medical doctor, farmer, carpenter and teacher. He marrled Martha Poage Moore and they had nine children seven of them" moved to the mission in 1852. Martha agreed to com~ to the Shawnee Indian reservation, in spite of the fact her Page 42 �grandfather was killed by the Shawnee. Their son, Dr. Edward Still, remained in Bloomington, North Carolina and took over his father's medical practice. Dr. James Still helped his father at the mission, preached and practiced medicine many years in town. Another son; Dr. Andrew T. Still, with his wife, Mary Elvira, came to the area in 1853, where he practiced medicine in Eudora, Baldwin and Palmyra. He was also a farmer, had a sawmill, was a member of the Kansas State Legislature on the Free State Party ticket in 1857. He was Freemont's Scout Surgeon and a Hospital Steward in 1861-62 for the 9th Kansas Cavalry and Captain Major of the 21st Kansas Volunteer Troops. He founded Osteopathy and moved to Palmyra where he was a member of the Palmyra ,Town Company. He gave a quarter section of land for Baker University in 1855. He was the father of twelve children, many dying young. His wife taught at the Mission school and was one of the first women teachers in the state. Barbara Still married Frederich Vaughn and moved to Palmyra in 1860, where they ran a general store and bought most of the town, Thomas Still went to medical school and went to California by ox team in 1863 and practiced Osteopathy. Cassandra Still and her husband, Dr. James McCollum, married in 1862 and went to California with her brothers, Tom and John. John was a, Union soldier' and lawyer. " ' Mary M. Still helped teach at the Mission School at age 13 but she and John, Marovia, and Cassandra went to a private school in' Lawrence. Mary married Rev. T.M. Adams in 1863 but she started preaching at age eighteen, was Assistant Principal of Baker University in 1858 and taught for her father at Clinton and Blue Mound. She organized a Sunday School Class for black people at Lawrence. She lost everything in the grasshopper plaque of 1874 and had seven, sick little children, went to Topeka and then on to California. She wrote a biography of her sad life. Marovia Still married Ezekiel C. Clark of Baldwin and they farmed, living near Ba'ldwin forty-five years on the Still property. Her two sons became doctors. Her Mother, Martha, died at her home in 1808. Dr. James Still had a son, Summerfield, who went to Baker University and then Medical School. He was a teacher, merchant, minister and lawyer. James practiced until 1898 and married a Eudora lady, Ella Daugherty. He founded the S.S. Still School of Osteopathy. Their son, George, was born at Eudora in 1882 and also became a Doctor. The Still family had a great influence in Douglas County. The Mission had to close in 1854 because of the slavery problem that split the Methodist Church, as Abraham was opposed to slavery. The Stills said Paschal Fish was their dearest friend. OREGON TRAIL Page 43 �The Oregon Trail was just south of present Eudora. Some trave~er's used the. Bluej acket Crossing (or Ford) on the -Wakarusa r1 ver. Several crossings were probably used. but the ones shown o~ the ma~s are between Spring Creek and the Little Wakarusa. ~The.r1verbe~ 1S solid rock there so the covered wagons would not m1re 1n the r1ver mud when crossing. At this crossing was a trading post run by the Bluejackets and later by a German, Billy de Graffenreid and sold out to Carl Bundshu in the 1850' s. They lived nearby and sold before 1860. The mileage of Pioneer trains from Westport matches this crossing area instead of the farther west one. EUDORA FOUNDED Paschal sold 774 1/2 acres of his family'S land to a German· Settlement Group from Chicago in 1856 for $10,000, but later bought back the odd numbered lots. Eudora was incorporated as a city in the fall of 1858 under Territorial laws. In April 1857, a group of sixteen. German men, four women and some children, led· by Peter Hartig, arrived at the Fish House to build the town. Their expenses were paid by the Chicago group. The formal title of Eudora was passed February 4, 1860 and signed by Indian Agent Newsom, Paschal and his family. The first election was held 10 March 1859, and. Fred Faerber was ... elected Mayor .. Records of' the City Council were written in German for many years. Eight more men came later in 1857, paying their own way. Other families came later. These founding fathers were stoncutters, carpenters, cabinet makers, a doctor, blacksmiths, wagon makers, framers and businessmen. They first built an 18 foot by 20 foot log cabin, in which everyone during the first summer. A circular saw and corn cracker was set up the first summer with money from the Chicago group. The first post office operated that fall. Eudora's original seal is on the front of the Eudora Heritage Book. A City Hall and School were built in 1860 and· is still standing as a residence. Charles C. Durr was elected Mayor in 1860 and Paschal Fish was in Washington, D. C. seeking answers to tax questions. Eudora was spared the pro-slavery skirmishes but there was a pro- slavery militia at Bluej acket crossing and Quantrill rode through Hesper killing one man as he and his gang rode to destroy Lawrence. Many Eudoran' s helped· Lawrence. rebuild by hauling lumber, stone and other supplies. Charles Durr even· took his sixteen hitch of oxen to Lawrence. Early Eudora businesses were located along the Wakarusa and were the saw mill and flour mill, grocery stores, department stores: blacksmiths, livery stables, brick plant, drug store and hotels. Some . of the names were; Brenders, Hartigs, Schleifer, Hobbs, Guflers, Pilla Brothers, Ziesenis, Getker, O.G. Richards, Durrs, etc. There was a subscription school in Eudora in 1858 and a school for black pecple of all ages built in 1865-66. The Catholic Church was built in 1864, but before that the Catholic people would have to Page 44 �spend the entire day walking to Lawrence or· if a priest came through, the Jewish Andreas Brothers would push back their counters in their store and services were held there. The Catholic school was held in the two room parish that priests built in 1865. Hesper was a small town of Quakers or Friends southeast of Eudora, started in 1854 with a grocery store, blacksmith shop, school, church and cemetery. Clearfield was another small town south of Eudora with a grocery, blacksmith, church, cemetery and school. built in 1866. Weaver was northeast of Eudora on fertile bottom land and had a grocery,. depot, post office, . and school. Now all buildings not being. taken by the river· are being town down because ... of the river cutting the land off. German Methodist and Evangelic~l Churches started in 1859 were served by Circuit Rider Ministers. Many people spoke .German until World War I. Eudora's Southwest City Cemetery was started in .1857. There was a jail in the basement of the old City Hall and School and an old fort like corncrib in the alley between Main and Elm streets, between 7th and 8th streets. This has nothing to do with Paschal Fish's land but,I love poems and this. one is in our Eudora Heritage Book from Alma Gerstenberger that her father wrote down for her to learn. Dried Apple Pies Of all the things that I ·dislike Don't give me dried apple pies. The farmer takes his earliest fruit 'Tis wormy, bitter and hard, to boot. He leaves the hull to make us cough And don't take half the peeling off. Then on a dirty cord they were strung And from some chamber window hung And there they serve as a roost for flies Until they are ready to make into pies. Give me the toothache or tell me lies ... But don't give me dried apple pies. Submitted by Fern Long, Box 125, Eudora, KS 66025 Page 45 .,. . '.', �,~ ::;'; . The Pioneer Douglas County, Kansas Genealogical society, Inc. P.O.

Often the requestor assumes we have a complete file of obituaries, as I suppose many genealogical societies do. During my searches I have found several different files and indexes for different time periods in different places, so I made a list of those available and will put a copy of it in the Osma Room at the Lawrence City Library and will give copies to the Watkins Community Museum and other libraries. The available obituary files and indexes are nearly complete for about 1978-1997, .but the coverage of earlier years is spotty. Naturally the requests we are receiving are for much earlier times, and the 1978-1997 obituaries won't be in demand until many decades from now. We have determined that what is most needed now is information for 1864-1891. Rather than making copies of the obi tuaries and death notices from those newspapers, we will prepare an index so the information can be looked up in the newspaper when needed. We will index the newspapers that are on microfilm in the Lawrence City Library, which are only Lawrence papers. Our goal is to complete the index in a year's time. . There are 49 spools of microfilm containing about 10,000 newspapers for 1864-1891. I have timed myself at copying data for indexing onto a worksheet, and cal6ulate that a person could work through a maximum of 40 newspapers an hour (many issues of the old newspapers contain no obituaries or death notices). In addition to the 250 or more hours of this work, numerous hours will be required to keyboard the data into a database.program which will then put the index into alphabetical order by surname. The index will then be printed onto acid-free paper and bound between covers. So far we have seven workers on this project, and we need a few more in order to complete the project within the year. If you live in or near Lawrence or Topeka (where the microfilms are) and would like to help, please call Paul Jordan at 785-842-4388. I will provide worksheets to make the work go as quickly and efficiently as possible. . . Page 46 �Osma Room to be expanded Included in the budget for the Lawrence PUblic Library, which was approved in January, is $20,000 for enlargement of the Helen Osma Room which is the Genealogy Library. It will double the size of the room. Plans being discussed include removing the glass wall from the door east to the wall and repositioning it going north to the stair well. The north wall of the room will be even with the north side of the stairwell so the room will be L-shaped. One of the changes will be that there will no longer be a locked door into the room. The three groups that have materials in the room, DAR, LPL and the Society agreed that it was not necessary to have the room locked. There will still be a reference librarian at the desk and the glass wall will allow visual surveillance at all times. The Society will be able to house the Lawrence Abstracts in the room and discussion is proceeding about this process. As background, the Worleys were given many abstracts by an abstract company here in Lawrence. Shelley Hickman Clark, a past president of the Society, has. indexed all of them by legal description. We will be able to have all these in the Helen Osma Room for researchers to use. This remodeling should begin by summer. Then we'll need help in moving the collections. It is an exciting development and the Society is grateful to the staff of the library for recognizing the importance of the room. Any chance you get tell the library of your appreciation. REBECCA BROOKS K~RVEY "Rebecca Brooks Harvey was born in slavery in North Carolina (she did not know when nor where nor the name of her Mother.) Why? because as a baby she was given as a chattel for a debt one man owed another. The creditors took the baby for the debt and gave her to the Brooks lady to raise. The name of Rebecca was given the child." . "In rearing their children, our parents taught obedience at home in school and to the laws of the state." ' "Father told us on leaving home for school, learn, behave and tend to your own business. Mother being a devout Christian added prayer." Original source:. RH.

Genealogical Software Springboard http://www.toltbbs.com/-kbasile/software ,html From Midwest Historical Genealogical Society, and �NGS/CIG DIGEST National Genealogical Society Computer Interest Group 4527 Seventeenth Street North Arlington VA 22207-2399 Volume 16 Number 4. November December 1997 Mining the Mother Lode of Primary Genealogical Information for Free by George Archer McLean, Virgina Cruising the Net is fine, but nearly everything you find there is a secondary source. Unless it is an image of an original document, someone had to retype the original to put it up on the Net, thereby making it a secondary and not a primary source document. The Net promises, but time and money do not permit, putting up even a tiny fraction of the primary records that might be of interest to genealogists. Well, now you can get closer to those primary records and you have two choices. You can purchase The Guide to Federal Records in the National Archives oj the United States, a 2,428 page 3-volume ~et of books, or you can get the digital version in approximately two hours by downloading it to your hard disk from the National Archives Gopher Site at: gopher:llgopher.nara.gov: 70100linJorm/guide/ Gopher is text-based, menu-driven interface still used by many libraries and the National Archives. When you enter-the site, you will have nothing but a black and white text page with hot links to a sub-menu of Gopher pages that follows roughly the Table of Contents for the hard copy version. • Read this First • Preface and Acknowledgments • Introduction • Record Groups 1 - 99 -• Record Groups 100 - 199 • Record Groups 200 - 299 • Record Groups 300 - 399 • Record Groups 400 - 499 • Record Groups 500 + • Index The Gopher site version is a word-for-word copy of the hard bound- volumes. Volumes 1-2 describe 1.7 million cubic feet of Federal Records in all 20 depositories of the National Archives and twelve Presidential Libraries, not just those in Washington, D.C., as of 1 Oct 1994. All types of records are described including text, electronic, audiovisual. The Record Groups (RG) are numbers assigned to federal agencies and their predecessor organizations with new ones assigned as agency names are created or changed. Each RG Chapter begins with an administrative history of the agency that created the records, and an overview of the extent and location of its records. Each RG narrative includes: a very useful listing of successor agencies; finding aids that include Preliminary Inventories and pamphlets that describe the microfilmed versions of some records. Related records include a list of other agencies and their RG's. For larger RG's the next section summarizes the record type, the city where the records are located and the quantity of records measured in cubic or linear feet. Page 67 ,': '.... �Thereafter follows a description of the records th~m:>elves listing them by: type, dates of coverage and a descnpbon of the activities that the records document. For instance, I wanted to see t\le original manuscript versions of the Land Offices' land entry maps and surveyors' field notes for the original Northwest Territory in the Seven Ranges and found them in RG 49, Records of the Bureau of Land Management [BLM]. A quick on-line search turned up: • "Field notes compiled during township surveys of the public land states of AL, IN, lA, KS, MO, OH, _WI, ~e Indian Territory, and parts of OR and WA, 1785-1946 (m College Park). Field notes and related textual records and maps ("Old Case F File") of state, territorial, and Indian-land boundaries, including notes of the dependent resurvey of the boundaries of a few reservations, 1809-1938 (in College Park). Field notebooks from townsite surveys, 1844-93 (in College Park). • "Microfilm Publications: M478, M1325, M1329, T1234, T1240. • "Maps (52,324 items): Township plats from surveys made by deputy surveyors supervised by surveyors general in the seven ranges in OH (the first public land survey), AL, IN, lA, KS, MO, other parts ofOH, WI, the Indian Territory, and parts of OR and WA, some of which are annotated to show land entry numbers and entrymen's names, 1785-1946 (40,000 items). Township exterior boundary plats showing the perimeter of each township as approved by the surveyor general for most of the public land states, 1786-1910 (7,269 items)." Lookup of a RG is easy online, but searching for a specific item in a RG by topic using the index is difficult because -you will have to search 24 separate letter index files for each item. I decided to download the entire index and about half of the 200+ text files for the RG's I knew had genealogical interest. You can do this in a web browser using these steps: Create a folder dedicated to the files you are about to download. Click on -the RG you want and open the file on screen. Next, click on File and select the Save as command to save the file using the default name (e.g. rg049.txt for RG 49) to whatever folder you want to dedicate to about 6mb of material if you download the entire three volumes. Even if you save fewer RG text files than I did, do save the entire Volume 3, index to Volume 1-2 (NAGIDX*.TXT, where * is a letter of the alphabet). Go into an MS-DOS session and put yourself in the folder (sub-directory) where you downloaded the files. Combine the 24 files into a single file with one DOS command: copy NAGIDX*. * X This will produce a 2.2mb text file named, "X." that you can rename. Now, return to Windows and use a word processor or heavy duty text editor that can open the entire 2.2mb file. Searching the index offline will lead you to every instance of a specific word. Use the "find" key or feature in a word processor or text editor to find a specific word. For example, my father homesteaded east of San Diego, CA in the 1930's a mile north of the Mexican border in lands within the Cleveland National Forest, according to San Diego Co., CA deeds. I found the records for his land patents by scanning for "Cleveland." After plowing through many hits on "Cleveland" I found an entry for "Cleveland National Forest 95.9.4" The "95" in this entry refers to RG 95 (Records of the Forest Service), paragrapb 9.4. I discovered that I had not downloaded that particular file (rg095.txt) so rather than going back online, I looked it up in my hardcopy realizing that a disk-based digital index search was a more powerful and thorough search tool than using the hard copy version in Volume 3. Here is what I found: • "95.9.4 Records of Region 5 (Pacific Southwest Region) • "Textual Records (in San Francisco} .... Land status tabular records, 1870-1970 for plats described below under Maps ... • "Maps (3,135 items in San Francisco): General land Office plats of California national forests, annotated to show land patents, ownership and use, 1870-1970 .... showing homestead entries, 1915 and land status, _ exchange and acquisition 1920-60. SEE ALO 95.12." (~G 95.12 .was "Cartographic Records (General) 1890-1973 but contamed nothing of interest.) So, from this short foray into the Guide I located the probable records and know that I' have to go to San Francisco to see them. I also have a specific RG citation and description I can show the archivists at San Francisco. And better, I can show it to them on a computer screen (or print out) without baving to haul 20 pounds of the 3-volume bard copy with me or locate a copy of it at the San Francisco Archives Branch. You, too, can look up elusive federal records using the techniques above and, even if you don't buy the hardcopy or download Volumes 1-2, use the index offline to search for probable records and then revisit the gopher site to explore RG's with possible records of interest. When you get a hit, save to disk just that RG chapter for future reference when visiting or corresponding with the National Archives in Washington or its many branches.

June 11, 1881) INDIAN RELICS Discovery of Traces of the Mound Builders in This County Deer Creek-June 9, 1881 To the Editor of the Journal: I promised you some time since to write you an account of the. traces of the Mound Builders found in this vicinity, but wishing farther information on some points have put off doing so until now. My attention was first directed to the subject about a year ago by the report that when Isaac Stull dug his cellar he found the bones of an Indian. Being at Mr. Stull's in the course of a few days; I inquired for what was saved and was given some fragments of true mound builder pottery, the crowns of a few teeth, some worked flint and the blade of a sandstone ax. They were found some three or four months before I heard of them and probably not more than half of the flints were saved. They were buried two and one-half feet below the surface, and in the edge of an open spot popularly termed "Indian fields" by the old settlers. This has shown no indications of any "mounds" within twenty-five y.ears. The remains of two other bodies were subsequently found when digging a cistern adjoining the cellar mentioned, but they were so decayed as to be of little interest. This last winter another skeleton was found on the Shaw place while digging postholes, but was not examined. In digging a well on the same place in an Indian field, at the depth of six feet, there was found a lot of charcoal burnt clay, pieces of pottery and flint, which had been worked, some to an edge and some not finished. Upon making inquiry I find that the valley of Deer Creek from its mouth up for the distance of some four or five miles has furnished a great many arrow heads, knives and axes. These have been picked up in .some cases were perfect because of the oddity if nothing else. In my opinion there is here a rich field for explorations and I shall embrace every opportunity to develop it and will be happy to give your many·readers the account of my work from time to time, and will answer any correspondence upon the sUbject. I do not, however, expect to find much until winter on account of the dense growth of vegetation. Crops are looking excellent, Some apples in places, but not generally distributed. My trees are quite full, in fact, they have the most on by half of any orchard in this vicinity, and will have about half a crop. M. J. A.

June 2, 1881) MARRIAGE BELLS ~Wedding of Miss Carina F. Harris and Mr. Fred J. Hill" It was some twenty-one years ago that one of the editors of the Old Lawrence Republican was one evening invited to go out upon the "California road" and witness the marriage of Mr. E. P. Harris, a young printer then working in the office, to Miss Davidson. It was a pleasant gathering and Rev. Dr. Cordley performed the ceremony. On last Tuesday eveing the first marriage in the household then formed was celebrated. A special contributor thus describe it: The pleasant country home of Mr. and Mrs. E. P. Harris, at Glendale, near Lecompton, was the scene of a joyous occasion, on Tuesday evening, May 31st, the event being the marriage of Miss Corina F. Harris to Mr. Fred. J. Hill, of Lecompton. The beautiful grounds was ablaze with lights from Chinese lanterns, hung in the trees, extending a cheerful welcome to the guests before they reached the house. The floral decorations were beautiful beyond description, the arch between the sittingroom and parlor being draped with festoons and garlands of evergreens and flowers. The "marriage bell," with a horse-shoe beneath, was suspended iti the arch. The happy couple took places beneath the bell at half-past eight o'clock, the ceremony being performed by Rev. RichardCordlley, D.D., of Emporia, in a very impressive manner. He was assisted by Rev. H. D. Herr, of Lecompton. The congratulations were heartfelt and sincere---all wishing the youthful couple the happiness they so well deserve. The bride's dress was of fringe silk, with plaited vest of cream satin. The skirt trimmings were fine plaitings and puffings with apron-front of diagonal folds, heavy cords and tassels gracefully looped about the skirt and basque was shirred at the waist and about the shoulders; fringe cord laced the front over the cream satin vest, finished at the bottom in heavy loops and tassels, with elbow sleeves, the whole elegantly trimmed with cream Spanish lace. The groom wore the usual black dress suit with white vest. The bride is not only well known and admired in the neighborhood in which she lives, but also in Lawrence and Topeka, for her amiable disposition and her accomplishments. The groom, whose home is near Lecompton, is a young man of promise and energy and deserving of the treasure he has won. This occasion was an unusually pleasant one for Rev. Mr. Cordley, he having performed the marriage ceremony for the father and mother of the bride some twenty-one years ago at Lawrennce. Elegant refreshments were served at about 9:30; under the supervision of Mrs. E. P. Harris, who received many compliments for the delicacies set before the guests, and the hospitable manner in which they were entertained. The love and esteem of the friends of the young couple was shown by the number of handsome and costly presents they received, a list of which we give below: Elegant set of jewelry Page 90 �Page #2 from the groom to the bride; $100 in five $20. gold pieces, Mr. and Mrs. E.

We have stored them for all this time. Recently we were contacted by a family member in Pennsylvania who wanted to see some of the records. We sorted through the boxes and dispersed the records as follows: 4 boxes were sent to the relative in Pennsylvania, the Society took out some of the duplicate publications and that is what is listed below, and the remaining 6 boxes were given to the Eudora Public Library. The following titles will be housed in the Helen Osma Room of the Lawrence Public Library. They may not be checked out, but you are certainly encouraged to use them extensively in the room. Kith and kin of George Wolf, Governor of Pennsylvania, 1829-35. Notebook of Matney records. Ancestors, descendants and relatives of Charles Daniel Kindig and Ellen (Beishline) Kindig. Genealogy of Jacob King (Konig) and Matheus King (Konig) ofNorthamption County, Pennsylvania. Matney Connections, Brooks Matney and Jennit Young, William Matney, and Sarah Yocum, and allied families.

OSMA ROOM IS COMPLETED The renovation of the Helen Osma Family History Room in the Lawrence Public Library is completed. The size has been doubled and we thank the Library for doing this project. We appreciate all of you being patient while it was being worked on. Now is the time to formulate a Collection Policy for the Society's part of the Osma Room. As you can see from the following letter from Bruce Flanders, director of the Lawrence Public Library, they are interested in making the Osma Room be an even greater asset to the library and the community. The Society will hold a meeting on May 5 at 2 pm in the Osma Room at the Library. Our topic will be to talk about and formulate policies for the Society's part in the Osma Room. We will have representatives from the DAR and the Library present so we can all agree on the direction for the Osma Room. A tentative policy for collecting quarterlies follows; we will discuss it at the May 5 meeting: Continue exchanging quarterlies from Kansas, Colorado, Missouri, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Iowa, Indians, Illinois, Ohio, and Virginia. Keep 5 years of each quarterly. What to do with the ones we discard? - 1- �e Lawrence Public Library . March 29, 1999 Ms.MaryB~1 Douglas Ceftgy enealogical Society, Inc. P.O. Box 3664 Lawrence, KS 66046-0664 Dear Mary: I want to thank you for your encouragement and guidance relating to our work on expanding the Osma Room. The renovation project took a lot longer than I would have liked, but I believe the end result is good. We recently installed a patron counter at the entrance to the Osma Room, so we should be able to maintain accuate statistics regarding use of the Osma Room resources. As you noted to me in your March 3 letter, there is more work to do. I am open to the Society's desire to place abstracts in this room. A number of the library's ·vertical file cabinets will be available to help house these materials. Also, the shelving on the south wall can be extended. I have asked Cecilia to coordinate these actions. I should note that I have a concern about the "eclectic" appearance of the free-standing furniture and shelves in the Osma Room. I would like to work with the Society over the next year to improve this aspect of the room. 707 Vermont Street I would appreciate an evaluation of what freestanding furniture is needed in the room. We can work with the Salvation Army, Social Service League, or other groups to find a new home for the furnishings, if any, which are determined by reference staff and Society members to no longer be needed. And, we could explore Library or Friends funding for new furnishings, should any be identified as desirable. Lawrence. KS 66044-2371 Again, many thanks for your help in this, and other, library projects.

Douglas County Genealogical Society, 1999 Many of the pages of this census are not labeled with the Ward number of Lawrence or the name of the Township, and the page numbers can be confusing. This explanation is designed for identifying localities associated with Schedule 1, Inhabitants, which can be done by turning slowly through the film while noting the order of the items as shown on the following list. Page numbers refer to the large scribbled numbers that are usually found only on the first page of each set of three pages of Schedule 1...Other than Schedule 1" usually is Schedules 2 through 11 and certification pages.

Directory for Lawrence can be used to determine the Ward in which a resident lived, thus eliminating the need to search all six Wards. Most of the adult males and some females are listed in the directory, so it can be a great time-saver for census searches. By using the address listed in the directory, and the information about street addresses and Wards below, the searcher can learn which Ward to search in the census. A sampling indicates that the Ward locations of about ,70 to 75 percent of the heads of household in the census can be found by using the City Directory as a surname index. Be aware that, within each letter of the alphabet in the Directory, the surnames are not entirely in alphabetical order. Although the 1886 City Directory doesn't list residents outside Lawrence, the 1890-91 directory does. Starting on page 230, the "Directory of the Farmers and Land Owners of Douglas County, Kansas" shows the name of the Township in which each farm is located. Thus, for the farm families who didn't move across Township lines between 1885 and 1890, the census user can narrow the search from nine Townships to only one. A sampling indicates that the Township locations of about 75 to 80 percent of the rural residents can be found by using the 1890-91 Directory as a surname index.

Please fill out your charts and mail them to the Society. - 31 - �What Do I Do With All of This Stuff? by Edward Henry Gaulin (Sr.) A message on the Intemet caught my eye the other day and I couldn't get it out of my mind. A West Coast Genealogist had been exchanging information with a researcher in Virginia for sometime. Then it happened! Her last message "bounced" - it couldn't be delivered as the address no longer existed. Fortunately she had received a number of family group sheets from her correspondent which listed a telephone number. When she called the number a man answered, so she asked for her "Internet" friend and, after a slight hesitation was told, "Oh, Mary Ann passed away three weeks ago." Shocked, but ever gracious, she expressed her sympathy and commented how close this longdistance relationship had become and how it will be missed by her. The husband explained that he was sorry that he couldn't be of any help because he really didn't know much about what his wife was doing with her genealogy. Perhaps you too have noticed a, genealogical gatherings that the average age of the partiCipants is something in excess of 39 years, at least judging by hair color. Most of us really don't have a lot of time to devote to our hobby until after the kids are grown, out of school and we've retired. Then it is no longer a hobby, it becomes an obsession. At some point in our continuous search for dead people, our ancestors, we recognize our own mortality and start to think about a permanent home for our research. If our children or grandchildren appear to be interested, we have it made, but frequently that's not the case. Then what happens to our "stuff"? Genealogists are usually pretty smart people, until it comes to providing for the distribution of their "genealogical assets." The latter, in my case anyway, is a room full of books, joumals, magazines, pamphlets, maps, photographs, brochures, newsletters, computer equipment and funiture (desk, chairs, file cabinets, tables, lamps, etc.). The files are loaded with folders bearing family and town names, historic events, and a bunch labeled "MISC." There are miles of computer printouts, hundreds of photocopies, and many "original" vital records. My desk is usually loaded with correspondence awaiting an answer either mine or from someone else. What should my wife do with all this stuff when I make the ultimate research trip - a personal meeting with my ancestors? - 32- Some of our brighter colleagues say "My college library is getting all my stuff' or it's going to the local public library or to the LOS Family History Ubrary in Salt Lake City or even to the Ubrary of Congress. Well, I hate to be the one to tell you this, but unless you are a celebrity or a hugh financial donor, these institutions probably won't want your material - they just don't have room for it. They would be grateful for a copy of your book, but they might not want the manuscript or research notes. The Mormons would appreciate a GEDCOM disk of your genealoogy database files, but they don't want your paper pedigree charts or family group sheets. So what is your spouse or children to do with all of your "stuff.?" They could really do a couple of dumb things with it if you don't provide guidance to them while you still can. It could be placed in the weekly trash collection and don't say "They wouldn't do that" because it unfortunately happens all the time. How about a "garage sale?" Now that is really scary, but it also happens every day. Remember all those old photos and tintypes you have seen in roadside flea markets? How about all those bargin genealogy books you bought because you got to that garage sale before the dealers did" They all had to come from someplace. What should you do to insure the same distribution of your genealogical assets? Perhaps the first thing is to make a record of what you have and then try to keep it current. Show the acquisition date and how much you paid for each item on the inventory sheets. This is especially helpful for artifacts, collections, and books. A photographic record of these items, including those of rare books, could also be useful. Microfilm, microfiche and complete photocopies of books and some records have value. Back issues of many joumals, newsletters, and magazines are also in demand by genealogists and therefore have value. However, if you don't tell them what is valuable, your heirs probably won't know. Now that you have identified your assets, you need to tell someone what you want done with them. Maybe the simplest way is to prepare a letter to your heirS, but' J>emember this lacks the force of law. If they want to, they can toss everything in the trash. A better way to provide for the distribution is in your will, particularly if you also designate sufficient funds'to carry out your wishes. Your Last Will and Testament is also where you may make specific bequests: your copy of the 1898 edition of �Burkes Peerage to your FGS Conference roommate or your old roll-top desk to your newest granddaughter. Your wishes can now be enforced by the courts, if necessary. If you still want to have any of your assets given to your alma mater or a local library or anywhere else, personally contact that agency and discuss the possibility - right now. It won't come as a surprise to them and they should be able to advise you immediately of any conditions of acceptance. If you can support those conditions, ask for a written acknowledgment that can be placed with your will. Some other things that you can do right now are to distribute copies of your research among your family, friends, and perhaps, local or national libraries. This is simple if you have progressed to the book-writing state, but don't be too concerned if you haven't. Many genealogists assemble their pedigree charts, group sheets, perinent vital records, selected family photographs, and other important document in notebook fonn. The write a brief introdution, provide a table of contents, and sometimes an index, before having copies made for distribution. Afterwards, the notebook can be kept current with a New Year's letter which might include new charts and photos. Computerized genealogocal data can be distributed in the same way on diskette. Sometimes an envelope or jacket is provided in the notebook described above to house data disks. Another way some researchers try to insure the safeguarding of their electronic data is to submit it to the LOS Ancestral File or one or more of the other commercial collections. If you don't know how to do this consult your local genealogical society or Family History Center or even the public library for instructions. Another thing you can do right now to benefit your heirs is to clean up your files. Biminate unnecessary correspondence and duplicate copies of records. Toss out all those old printouts you made in 1984 on your Apple 2e Computer. Sell all the Genealogical Helper Magazines you have saved since 1973, because you will never open one of them again and you know it. If you get fifty cents each for them you can have a pretty good dinner. Give away all that old computer software that is taking up room on your bookshelves-it's probably not worth anything anyway. Label your photographs, and disketts too. I find it a bit morbid, but you may wish to write your epitaph and select your tombstone now to insure future researchers will not encounter some of the same problems that you've had. - 33 - If you decide to follow some of these suggestions, when you do eventually meet your ancestors they may thank you for perpetuating their memory. They may also show you where you made some of your mistakes and be able to fill in a few of the blank spaces in your previous research. Remember, do it now, there may be no tomorrow.

On 27 April 1999, I attended a meeting at the home of Loretto Szucs, vice president of publishing for Ancestry.com. In attendance were thirty genealogical leaders from Il1inois, Wisconsin, and Indiana. The guest of honor was Dr. John Daly, director of the Il1inois State Archives, who spoke about the article he wrote for the May/June 1999 issue of Ancestry Magazine, titled "Genealogical Power." Dr. Daly reminded family historians that they are the principal users of public archives in the United States, and as such should wield their power to shape their own destiny. The article is being reprinted below, and will also be available online at: http://www.ancestry.com/magazine/articles/genpower.htm. To subscribe to Ancestry Magazine: http://shop.myfamily.comlancestrycatalog/product.asp?dept%5Fid=30000000&pf1'IoFid=26245 The following article was adapted from a speech given by Dr. John Daly, Director of the Illinois State Archives, at the lJIinois State Genealogical Society Conference, 23 October 1998.' 'I I should begin by stating that I am writing not as a genealogist, but as a working archivist. My opinions arise from what I see of genealogists from that viewpoint and, thereby, what I see, as strategic courses useful to genealogists. .. -',. By the term "genealogical power," I mean the leverage that genealogists and family historians have upon public archival agencies in the United States-or the power that they should exercise as the overwhelming majority of users of those archives. Archimedes sai<L regarding the simple yet powerful tool, the lever, "Give me but a point on which to stand and with it I could move the earth itself." Family historians need a point to stand upon in order to utilize the powerofthe lever that they hold. I wiH explain what I mean by this. Archives are not natural features of American society. They have never grown normal1y out of administrative practice in business corporations, universities, or out of governments at the national, state, county, or city level. In the event that anyone assumes that public archives have always existed in the United States, please recall that for one hundred and forty-five years after the establishment of the federal government in 1789, there was no such institution as the National Archives ofthe United States. No business archives existed until the 1940s, no university archives until the 1960s, and the archives of museums and other cultural institutions did not begin to be formed imtil after the bicentennial observation of 1976. The evidence for this neglect is widespread, but I will not belabor it. Only a few illustrations are worthwhile. When George Washington left the office of the presidency in 1797, he offered his papers to the care of Congress as property of the nation. Congress reacted with indifference and no president offered his files to the government's care again until Franklin Roosevelt. In 1810 a federal report noted that U, S. public records were in "a state of disorder, neither safe nor conve~ient nor honorable to the nation." In the early 1830s Alexis de TocquevilJe observed that among Americans, "nobody bothers about what was done before his time. No archives are formed~ no documents are brought together, even when it would be easy to do so." But if there was for so long no public governmental interest in archival agencies in the United States, how did those archives come to be created? Public archives in America grew from demands by groups outside of official administrative structures.. According to Ernst Posner, the basis of American archival development was completely "a response to the ... insistently presented demands of the scholarly world." In this case we must give the funest credit to the American Historical Association and its membership. Without the persistent efforts of that organization, which began over one hundred years ago in 1893 and culminated in 1934, we would not have the National Archives today or any of the state archives. The American Legion offered crucial support to the movement as well, representing yet another outside interest that demanded the establishment of public archival services. ' -2- �But something happened The.American Historical Association, which had basically founded the' National Archives and state archives, withdrew from the field of archival activity. 1 realize this is an extreme statement for me to make, but it is true in a relative sense. The earliest public clientele of the National Archives and state archives, their justification and support, were chiefly professional historians, but there are not many of them. Over the past sixty years, from 1936 to 1996, approximately 38,000 doctoral degrees in history were awarded in the United States. Of that amount, perhaps a third are now retired from active work. Even if an of the academic historical researchers now in practice or in university training made the fullest use of public archival depositories in the United States, they could not come close to representing a substantial percentage of the persons who consult those depositories year after year. Family historians and genealogists have replaced academic researchers as the principal users of public archives in the United States. The combined memberships of the American Historical Association and the Organization of American Historians today is 28,000. A study published in American Demographics in December 1995 cited that 113 million Americans have some interest in genealogy, and that 19 million have a strong working interest in the field. An unacknowledged user study of the National Archives and its Suitland facility for 1991 cited 370,000 "user visits" of which 54% to 80% were devoted to family history and 16% to 20% to academic studies. The Newberry Library of Chicago found that 60% of all the reference services it provides are devoted to genealogy. In 1998 the fllinois State Archives delivered 840,000 reference activities of which at least 80% were relate,d to family history. If the adniinistrators of public archives in the United States had to rely upon the use of archives by academic researchers alone to justify the existence of archives, they would find it extremely difficult to do so. So what can, or should, genealogists do about these clear. facts? How can they use them as the "point on which to stand" to put to work the leverage of the overwhelming client figures that they represent? Al10w me to make a few suggestions. 1. Go on strike; stop going to the archives. What would happen? Reports to Congress would show that use of the National Archives had plummeted 50% to 80%. I would have to report to the Illinois Secretary of State that use of Illinois state archives bas dropped by 85%. The'same effect would occur at almost every state, county, and city archives in the United States. I admit this is a rash piece of advice, and unworkable, but view it as simply a graphic iIlll;Stration of tbe power genealogists have in their hands to affect the policies and practices of public archives in the United States. 2. Emphasize the term family history for your work. Genealogy is a word that has unfortunate echoes in the popular American mind. But the word "history" is favored by newspaper, writers, tourism promoters, editorial . columnists, and community leaders. It can stampede American candidates for public office. I found it useful and effective tha~ the 1998 FGS meeting in Cincinnati was entitled "Immigrant Dreams: The Settlement of America." These sorts of terms talk more directly to more citizens. 3. Demand better hours of access to archives. You represent a public who wishes to consult public records in a public building supported by public tax donars. You have replaced scholars as archives' clientele. Yet archives' reading rooms are still open chiefly at hours that serve the convenience of scholars or the archives' staff, but not yours. Public libraries have extended their hours beyond 9 to 5. Drivers license facilities are open on evenings and on Saturdays and Sundays as well. Even banks have changed their old limited hours to accommodate the public. Why not archives as well? 4. Challenge th.e fees for copies of records. Most of the costs you are charged for copie~ of records are designed chiefly to prevent you from asking for them. You can defy any agency to produce a valId cost study that would justify those charges. A rationale for them once existed when, if you requested a record, a clerk had to stop -3- = �other work for an appreciable time to make one by hand. But in the world of copiers those charges are anachronistic. Notify your archivist that fees should be revised drastically or scrapped completely. 5. Do not waste efforts in support of open records legislation. This may appear to be contradictory advice, but I give it from the viewpoint of an archivist, as I mentioned at the beginning of this artic1e. Such laws have always promised more than they deliver, and their existence is delusory enough to sidetrack or delay more effective methods that family historians may take to advance their jnterests. Much more might be said on this subject, but I will leave it at only this: ask yourself when heralded Freedom ofInformation Acts or Open Records Laws have ever really been of assistance to researchers in gaining necessary information from archives, court houses, or vital records offices. Anyone reading this article understands that the individual issues I have discussed are only part of the broader problem-public agencies' seemingly inherent bias against responding to requests by the public for access to records. Government agencies are fertile with reasons why citizens can not have access to information. And the evil is rooted more deeply in the fundamental attitudes of officeholders, even those at the most responsible levels. The Archives Listserv recently presented an account in the Houston Chronicle'S September 1998 coverage of Texas investigative hearings concerning Texas' Open Records Act. The Act was passed in 1983 and is regarded as one of the better examples of such laws: Committee members found that, although the law had been in effect for fifteen years, there was a "prevalent attitude among government employees ... that the law requiring them to [convey] information is a nuisance, a bother, and expense that bureaucrats quite often think they just shouldn't have to deal with." The attitude was also fouild'to exist among Texas city attorneys, the attorney general's office, and state judges themselves. " 6. Develop a new plan around these problems if the suggestions above do not succeed. The most effective path is to promote the digitization of public ,records and their availability as Internet databases. Unfortunately, digitization has become an all-purpose excuse by too many public officials-hasn't the National Archives promised that it will magically resolve the problems that will follow the closing of its regional archives? But this path can be followed, and some agencies are already doing so. State archives have made death records, federal land sale records, and Civil War service records digitally available and federal efforts like those of the Bureau of Land Management and the Civil War Project are following suit. Other huge databases that were created for internal departmental uses years ago are also becoming available; the compiling and editing of those resources has already been completed and they could be quickly and cheaply made available electronically. Best of all, this method would completely bypass the ingrained bureaucratic obstinacy against records access I outlined above. If it is fashioned correctly, agency officials would not even know that the public is gaining information via the privacy of their own computers. As well, it would make most ,of the other advice I have given you unnecessary. Why should you have to care about what hours archives reference rooms are open? Why should you have to care about fees for copies if you need only click on the print icon? 7. Take your demands for better access to public records sources above the heads of archivists themselves-to governors, secretaries of state, and members of congress. Do not be hesitant when you approach these officers. Point out to them the Time article of 13 July 1998 on family history research. Tell them that Web sites like Ancestry.com provide online genealogical databases that thousands of family historians search each day. Point out that family historians form the vast bulk of the consumers, clients, and market demand that justify and support the entire enterprise of public archives activity in the United States. Point out that persons with family history interest represent 113 million American citizens, 113 million consumers, 113 million letter writers, and ' 113 million votes. This, I think, is the point upon which genealogists should stand, and I wish them the greatest success. -4- �••• Dr. John Daly, the director of the Illinois State Archives since 1974, has an M.A. in English Literature, and an M.A. and Ph.D. in American History. !1e is a fe)]ow of the Society of American Archivists, and has received several awards and commendations from that organization, including the Distinguished Service Award in 1982. Dr. Daly has a]so received awards from the Association of Records Managers and Administrators, the Federation of Genealogical Societies, and the Illinois State Genealogical Society. After spending severa] years reading and indexing over forty years worth of old newspapers (for genealogical purposes), I offer the following comments and suggestions. If the papers·were microfilmed many years ago, I found they were occasiona1Jy filmed out of order~ therefore, scanning the film for a few months in each direction is advisable. (Also n~te that on occasion the incorrect dates are listed on newspapers-typographical error.) • Second, in newspapers of early years look in the "gossip" portion of the paper. There were very few obituaries and/or death notices: This information was more commonly reported as a news tidbit. These were often no more than a single sentence or two listed along with many such items. Remember to check the issues several weeks preceding and fo)]owing the date you have interest. Check earlier issues because illness and accidents, etc. were regularly included. Check later issues because this information may not have reached the paper in a timely fashion. • Third, check ten, twenty, twenty-five, thirty, forty, and fifty years after the event. Many newspapers ran columns that reprinted items from earlier issues. This is particularly meaningful if some issues are missing from the microfilm or are unreadable. • Fourth, try to learn which township, suburb, or section of the community where your ancestor lived. Often the papers had co]umns devoted to those areas and the news as reported by a local resident. However, as I learned many of these areas overlap and information can be found in more than the one specific correspondent's report. So, learn the name of the areaanq which areas are immediately adjacent so that you can scan those columns as well. • Fifth, look at the late May/early June issues of newspapers for a listing of the graduation classes, which often included photos. Another good time to scan newspapers is right before and after holiday seasons. Often it is reported which relatives came for visits and when they left. • Sixth, deaths of past residents and relatives of current residents living else\vhere were often reported. So, if you had an ancestor that moved, check the newspapers from his previous location. And check the papers . before and after the event. • One caveat--do not be concerned how names were spelled (or rather misspelled) in newspapers. In a single article you can find the surname was spelled in three different ways. Also be creative in your thinking as to how your surname can be interpreted. Articles sent by various correspondents were often handwritten, thus were subject to the interpretation by the typesetter. Additionally, I wonder how many correspondents actually knew how to spell his neighbor's name correctly or how many had legible handwriting. -Pat Jahn • .. -5- �PEDIGREE CHART 5 May 1999 16 Petter ROXBERG----------- I 8 Anders ROXBERG-------------------I I B: 1826 I 17 Butta Lisa MANSDOTTER---I P: "Sweden I M: 4 Andrew Peter HOXBERG--------------i P: "Sweden I B: 18 Sep 1857 I D: !

She enclosed a picture with these obituaries and a brochure for her book entitled Lest We Forget, which is available from her at 4984 Westmont Avenue, San Jose, CA 95130 for $63, including p&h. The obituaries are of her great grandparents Nicholas and Anna Mary Buehner Weil of Clearfield and Eudora. Her great grandparents were Samuel and Hannah Weil Muenzenmayer. Sam Muenzenmayer was a former mayor of Baldwin City, KS. 14 March 1925 Funeral services for Mrs. Anna M. Weil, who died Saturday night in Baldwin at the home of her daughter, Mrs. S. W. Muenzenmayer, fol1owing a few days illness with pneumonia, were held at the Clearfield Evangelical church on Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock and were in charge of Rev. M. Scheurman of Eudora. Very brief services were held at the Muenzenmayer home. Burial was in the Clearfield cemetery. Anna M. Weil, whose maiden name was Boehnner, was born in Stackenforf, Bavaria, Germany, on December 25, 183? In 1856 she came to Ainerica and lived at Burlington, Iowa, for several years, where she met and married Nicholas Weil on the 7th of May, 1857. To this couple were born eight children, seven of who are stil11iving. In the year 18??, Mr. and Mrs. Weil moved Paola ... in 1861 they took their residence at Clearfield where they lived until 1910 when they moved to Eudora, where Mr. Weil died in ]915. Since that time Mrs. Weil has been making her home with her three daughters. Mrs. Weil was converted and joined the Evangelical church at Clearfield in 1864, and remained a faithful member to the end. After her eyesight failed her daughter presented her with a very large print Bible and to the very last it was Mrs. Weirs delight to read her favorite passages. Mrs. Weil was a charter member of the Woman's R- Corps of Baldwin and attended meetings faithfuI1y as long as she was able. She endured many hardships during the Civil War when her husband was serving in the Union army and related many incidents of the privations and trials of the early settlers of Kansas. Her last illness was of one week length, pneumonia being the cause of her death. Her mind, which was remarkably c1ear for one of her years, was not c10uded until two days before her death. Mrs. Weil celebrated her 92nd birthday last Christmas day at which time an her children but one were with her and enjoyed the anniversary at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Muenzenmayer. At that time she told her children that it would be the last time they would all be together. She leaves to mourn her four sons, three daughters, thirty-three grandchildren, forty-eight great children. The following children were in attendance at the funeral services: Charles Weil of Overbrook,. Nicholas Weil of Carbondale, John Weil of Topeka, Mary Weil Brecheisen of Clearfield, Sarah Weil Hausman of Eudora, Hannan Weil Muenzenmayer of Baldwin City. Burial was in the Clearfield Cemetery. Nickolas Weil was born in Dueringen, Alsace, December 14, 1826, and died April 26, 19]5, in his home in Eudora, KS. At the age of27 years he came to this country and spent the first winter in New York. In 1854, he came west to Iowa. In 1857, he was united in marriage with Marie Boehnner of Burlington, Iowa. This union was blessed with 4 sons and 4 daughters. One daughter preceded the father to glory world when she was but 5 years of age. In 1859, Bro. Weil came to Kansas and settled south of Eudora, where they lived under the blessing of God until 5 years ago, 'Yhen they retired from the farm and moved into Eudora. In] 86] , Bro. Weil enlisted in the army~ he served 3 years and 4 months. During this time i'n the army, Bro. Weil was converted to God, and after he returned home he united with the Zions church of the Evangelical Association of Clearfield, and served God an"d the Church faithfully unto the end. - 10- �FatherWeilleaves a widow, 4 sons,3 daughters, and 38 grandchildren. The prayer in his autobiography is "that all might serve God and meet him in Heaven." September 15, 1999 Dear Friends, The process of pulling materials for the institutions requesting newspapers is going much slower than we had hoped. The building isn't air conditioned, so we haven't been able to work when it is really hot. Staff members also have a number of regular duties that need to be maintained, so we are only averaging about one day a week. In addition to limited time, we are limited by the space we have available to make stacks for the 200 institutions that have requested titles. The logistics are a bit mind-boggling. We ask for your patience. We are slowly making progress. Pat Michaelis, Director Library and Archives Division - II - �BOOK REVIEWS by Mary Burchill Ice, Albert L. The lee Family: A Record ofIts Early History Combined with the Listing ofSome Descendents of William (Indian Billy) lee and of His Son Abraham (Lame Abe) lee and Grandson Thomas lee, Sr., as compiled by great-great-great grandson, Albert L.

It wil1 be sponsored by the Kansas Authors Club and the Douglas County Genealogical Society. It will be from 9:30am to 4:30pm, with an hour from 12 to 1 for lunch on your own. Enrollment is first come, and the fee is $45. The auditorium will seat 100 people, so enroll early. There will be application information in the Osma Room and from the Kansas Authors Club. Charley Kempthorne has been teaching people how to write about their lives since 1976, when he started the first "reminiscence'workshop" in the nation. Like many students in his workshops, he has been a writer all of his life, keeping a diary as a child and using his earnings from farm work to buy a typewriter at the age of 11. He painted the keys of the typewriter with luminous paint so that he could write after his parents said lights out. (It didn't work.) Charley has degrees in writing and history from the University of Kansas, as well as an M.F.A. from the famed Iowa Writer's Workshop at the University ofIowa. A fonner college professor, farmer, and painting contractor, in 1991 he founded the LifeStory Institute and, with his wife, LifeStory Magazine, which he has edited ever since. June Fritz Kempthorne grew upon a Kansas farm. In college she won prizes for her art, exhibited in several national shows and won the Governor's Prize at.Kansas State University, where she took a B.F.A. in printmaking in 1972. F or many years she owned and operated a ' paperhanging and painting business. Co-founder with her husband, Charley, of LifeStory Magazine, she is now the art director and publisher. June assists in the workshops in many capacities, and presents a segment on how to layout and design one's writing and photographs for publication. Together she and her husband have presented workshops in more than twenty states and Canada. There is a complete file of LifeStory Magazine in the Osma Room, donated by Gene Bovee. Barb Seiwald, who works at the Douglas County Title Company, will speak to us about "Abstracts of Douglas County," on Saturday, May 6, at the Lawrence Pub1ic Library. She has been instrumental in getting many Douglas County abstracts to the Society. She has used these abstracts to :(urther her genealogical research and will share a lot of this information with us.

Don't make your descendants wait seventy-two years to see your 2000 census information. Photocopy the form before you mail it back and place the copy in your genealogy files. -Jim Guth. Misspellings. When ordering a vital record (birth. death. marriage, etc.), it is always important to list any 3 �possible variations in the spelling ofthe surname that you would like them to check. I recently ordered a death record for my great grandfather, Wi1liam Henry Hortman, who died in 1920. I was quite disappointed when a letter came back saying no record was found, although I knew the specific date and place where he died. Someone urged me to try different combinations of his name. I knew that I had seen Hortman misspelled as Hartman on some documents, So called the records office back and asked them to check it as Hartman. Bingo! Although the name on the· death record itself was spelled correctly, the index had it misspelled as Hartman. The clerk explained that she had checked various spellings on the reel of microfilm where Hortman was listed, but Hartman was on another roll and she would never have thought to check it if! hadn't requested it. -Judy Reed. Adding biographical text. Recently I decided to put all my family tree information into narrative form so that it would be easy to understand for my non-genealogist relatives. I printed a five-generation chart and then, going numerically, wrote a short narration for each person on the chart. I included source information right in the text, writing the census information exactly as the family was listed. I intended on making this easy for my family to understand, but it has benefited me immensely. Instead of looking through separate files for birth, marriage, wills, etc., I can simply look at my narrative and it is all there together. I included where I had looked and whether or not there . were records found. This project has made it very easy to see if I have overlooked certain search options for that individual. I have saved the information on my hard drive and on a disk, and so updating the narrative will be easy. I wish I had done this a long time ago. -Brenda. Census page copies payoff When doing census .work, be sure to copy the whole page and not just abstract your family. I did just that the other day and it paid off. When 1 got home 1 was looking through the Ancestral File and found the family along with a listing of brothers and sisters of the gentleman I was looking for. I got out my copied census and who was two houses away? None other that his married sister. I got two families with one push of the copy button. -Janet Newell Rootsweb Review and Missing Links Myra Vanderpool Gormley and Julia Case are the creators of theSe "e-zines."

Her daughter, Kathryn Jeanette Bunton, Lawrence resident (born here in 1912) and longtime member of the Douglas County Genealogical Society, indexed the contents and has recently presented them to the Society for its collection in the Lawrence Public Library. Here are the general subjects, by volume. Beulah's family, in part,begins in the U.S. with the immigration of George Bunker to New England about 1650. The family then settled on Nantucket Island. A prominent relative was Dr. Alice Bunker Stockham (1833-1912), the fifth American woman to earn a M.D. degree, whose brother David Bunker (1830-1905) moved to Lawrence in 1890 to be an instructor at Haskell Indian Institute. David's son Charles Dean Bunker (1870-1948) began working for KU's Natural History Museum in 1895, and his ashes are scattered outside the museum; his grandson Charles Harry ("Chuck") Warner is president of the Lawrence's Mercantile Bank. Another cousin of Kathryn is Thomas Beisecker, professor of communication studies at KU. These volumes contain miscellaneous clippings about Nantucket and other places of the family's roots, but also excerpts of the genealogy professionally prepared in New York by the Lewis Historical Publishing Co. in the early 1930s. 1 - Guillaume Bon Court I William Bunker I George Bunker I William Bunker I Benjamin Bunker I Obed Bunker I Job Bunker I Isaac Bunker I Slocum Hussey Bunker I David Bunker I Jane Bunker (wife of William C.

Ii!iI age 6 • heart murmur 10 Irregularity began under age 50 = heart aHack �(This is an adaptation of an article from the August 1994 issue of Good Housekeeping by Carol Krause. She is the author of the book How Healthy Is Your Family Tree?) HOW TO RESEARCH YOUR MEDICAL FAMILY TREE Ifit weren't for knowing her family's medical history, Cindy Leffew might be dead. Last year, when she was 31, Cindy felt a burning sensation from her shoulders down to her wrists. At first, she didn't pay much attention to it. But when the episodes persisted, she went to her doctor, and mentioned to him that her mother had suffered a heart attack at age 43. Her doctor referred her to a heart specialist, who encouraged her to find out as much as she could about her family's medical history. Cindy learned (see the accompanying "tree") that her mother's brother had died of a heart attack at age 45, and her maternal grandmother had had two heart attacks, the first at age 45, and a fatal attack at 64. Cindy's heart doctor ordered some preliminary tests, which showed little. But because of her family history of heart disease, the doctor ordered something rare for a female patient of her age-a heart catheter test. Cindy was shocked when it reveled an 80 percent blockage in one of her main arteries. She immediately underwent heart bypass surgery, which may well have saved her from a possible fatal heart attack. Medical family trees have long been used to counsel prospective parents with family histories of hereditary childhood abnormalities, such as Down's syndrome, cystic fibrosis, hemophilia, muscular dystrophy, and sickle-cell anemia. But scientists have recently discovered that many serious adult illnesses-most notably cancer, heart disease. and diabetes-can have strong genetic links. Knowing about the health of your relative, then, could have a vital impact on you and your family's future health. Here's how you can make your own tree: GATHERING TIlE FACTS Make a list of everyone in your family, including your parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins, as well as your children. To construct the tree, use the chart with this article as a model. Draw squares for males and circles for females. (This wiI1help a doctor quickly identify gender-related illnesses.) In each square or circle, enter these simple facts: major illnesses, age at onset of iHness, and both cause of and age at death. To find this information: 1. Ask older relatives to tell you about deceased family members. 2. Save medical records. It is helpful to have as many details as possible about a relative's illness. For example, if someone died of a heart attack, did he or she have high cholesterol (a condition that can be hereditary),high blood pressure, a heart defect? Did he or she smoke? 3. Collect death certificates of family members as far back as great-grandparents, if possible. They often indicate the specific cause of death. If you can't find a certificate for an ancestor, and you know in which state he or she died, call or write the state capital and ask how to get a copy of the death certificate. INTERPRETING YOUR TREE . Pay close attention to the illnesses of "first-degree" relatives (parents, siblings, children) WIth whom you share the most genes. But if you see a pattern of an illness among any relatives, ask your family doctor to refer you to a specialist in t~at disease. You should take quick action 11 �if you see the following information on your family tree: 1. Two first..<fegree relatives with the same or similar cancers. (Note: Breast, uterine, ovarian, and colon cancers can be genetically related.) 2. One first..<fegree relative with heart disease, life threatening diabetes, or cancer that was diagnosed before he or she was 50. Early onset of an illness can signal a genetic link. USING WHAT YOU KNOW If you learn you are at risk for a certain disease, you can immediately make nutritional and life-style changes. For instance, if you discover you may have a genetic predisposition to hardening of the arteries (arteriosclerosis), that may be the incentive you need to stop smoking. If you seem to be at risk for colon cancer, you might be encouraged to switch to a low-fat, highfiber diet and to schedule periodic colon tests. Ifbreast cancer is common in your family, you may be more diligent about doing monthly breast self-exams and scheduling yearly mammograms. But the benefits of knowing your family's genetic probabilities go far beyond the traditional advice abOut life-style and nutrition changes and regular screenings. People at high risk for certain diseases may be advised to undergo preventive surgery to give them peace of mind (such as removal of ovaries for women at high risk of ovarian cancer). IN THE FUTURE . You can also get ajump start on an even more startling approach to health care. In the next few years, gene therapy will take astonishing leaps and bounds in three ways: 1. in the embryo. Already, a handful of couples who carry genes for either cystic fibrosis of Tay-Sachs disease have given birth to healthy babies using 8. new technique that includes in vitro fertilization. When the embryos (fertilized in a test tube) are only four or eight cells large, they are checked for the defective gene. Only those embryos that are free ofthe defective gene are implanted in the woman's uterus. 2. In the ill child. The first successful use of gene therapy occurred in September 1990 at the National Institute of Health (NIH). A four-year-old girl was ill with ADA (adrenosine deaminase) deficiency, a rare disease which wipes out the immune system. (The "boy in the plastic bubble" had ADA.) NIH doctors gave the girl iI\iections of the missing ADA gene, and four years later, she's doing fine. 3. In ill adults. Gene alterations have been tried, with some success, on a small number of terminally ill brain and lung cancer patients, as well as on patients with a family history of very high cholesterol. Once deadly genes are identified, we can look for them in our blood. But we will be well into the twenty-first century before a low-cost, comprehensive test is available to the public. Until then, learning about your medical family tree may be the best way to ensure you get the tests and intervention you need. 12 �FROM UNBROKEN SOD TO PAVED ROADS Sees Old Pass On, Speed Eras Dawn Otto Durow, Big Springs Blacksmith for Half a Century, Pioneer Traveler, Mineral Locator Storehouse of Early Kansas History, Still Stands at his Flaming Forge. By Mrs. Howard Henry Copied from the Topeka Daily Capital-Sunday, Jan. 13, 1929: He sharpened the plowshares that broke the sod about Big Springs. Today he repairs tractors--plows that turn over ten feet of soil at one time. He saw the covered wagons that carried thousands of homeseekers into a new land. Today he sees thousands flit past his door in high-power motor cars or huge interstate buses, on a wellpaved highway, U. S. No. 40. Looking upward he sees an occasional airplane skimming thru the ethereal blue, and wonders at the changes time and genius have brought upon the land he helped reclaim from the wilderness that was pioneer Kansas. Otto Durow, of Big Springs, Douglas county, is near the eO-year mark. He settled in the community where he has made his home all these years, when there was nothing but a trail. Big Springs was one of the stopping places on the Old Oregon Trail. Dwindles Away, Comes 8ack. It became quite a place with hotels, parks, stores, saloons and other accouterments of frontier towns. Then it dwindled away someWhat, but just. now is coming back into its own. The postoffice was taken away, and citizens are trying to get it back. The t~lepho~e e~change was moved away, and now Big Springs IS large enough to support another. Mr. and Mrs. Durow recently celetrated their 50th wedding anniversary. They have lived all their married lives in the same house, one of the first erected in Kansas territory. They saw the covered wagon caravans streaming over the naked prairie. They saw the border ruffians come and go, in their pla~es coming SOI!d citizenry that has made the Big Spnngs community one of the finest and most prosperous in the state. Railroads Chose Lower Paths. .The railroad passed them by, choosing the easier g?lng a~ong ~he Kaw river, three miles to the north. Big Spnngs IS located on the high divide between the Kaw and Wakarusa watershed. U. S. No. 40 follows this divide thru its entire length, from Topeka to Lawrence, passing directly thru Big Springs. Being the only blacksmith, pioneer travelers beat a path to Durow's shop door. Of them he heard the latest gossip, news of Indian massacres further west, latest political happenings in the East, and all the trail news worth relating. Big Springs was the wa~ering and camping places and several large spnngs furnished an abundance of fine water. Durow can show curious persons the location of the old Pickens hotel and barroom where the first temperance crusade in Kansas began. Barrels of whisky were rolled out into the street and burned. Points to Noted landmarks~ He also can point out fragmentary portions of foundations of early buildings, when Big Springs was quite a little city. Where the city park, with water piped from the springs, furnished trysting place for youthful lovers; where old churches flourished and passed into oblivion; where the old Harper House, another noted hostelry s, stood just east of the first United Brethren church in Kansas, with the latter's foundation stones crumbling into dust; traces of the old Oregon and California roads; the exact location of the old log cabin where two girls sold liquor in successful defiance of the temperance adherents; the foundation of the first legislative hall in ~ansa; the building where the famous "rump legislature" held its session; the approximate location of the hiding place of a Pot of gold, hidden by a scared emigrant on his way to California All of these and more can Otto Durow show to those who seek his home in search of historical data.. ~or he is a gold mine of information on things pe~alnlng to early Kansas history. For all his years he IS remarkably active, mentally and physically. But he and Mrs. Durow enjoy the best of health, livil19,in their original home built of solid walnut lumber to endure for ages. '. When News Sprea-d Slowly. In the early days, Big Spring~received its ma;l by star route between Topeka and Lawrence. Except for the ever present travelers, news spread slowly. No newspapers reached Big Springs for years after the territory was settled. The United Brethren church burned down one week-day night. Members came in on Sunday, one bringing an org~ to furnish music. They were surprised to find their house of worship in ruins. It never was rebuilt. A new one was later erected in another location. Ox teams was the favorite motive power in those days. Lumber for the Durow house, equal to any modern home, was hauled from the Kaw bluffs. Weather-boarding is one and one-half inches thick of solid walnut. ' 13 .., �The story of the pot of gold is vivid in Durow's memory. A train of "prairie schooners' came acoss the ferry at Lecompton. The train reached Big Springs just as rumors came that Indians had attacked and wiped out the settlement at Topeka, then just a small village. The wagon master and the crippled cook took a pot of gold coins and dug a hole deep in the ground near one of the many springs in the vicinity. Old settlers recall that the wagon-master and cook paid a visit to the log cabin where the two girls sold liquor. Next morning. in muddled state of mind, they went west. Some 15 years later the cook returned. He, spent weeks hunting for the treasure. But Couldn't Find His Gold. Changed topography thru erosion mixed him up until he couldn't tell heads nor tails of the country. He didn't find the gOld. Ever since Big Springs folks have hunted for the pot of gold, but with no success whatever. Durow is somewhat of a mineralogist. He has a contrivance which he claims is 100 per cent perfect in finding oil, gas and other minerals. He calls it a "Minemeter: It is a queer looking "Dingus: composed of two copper or brass rods, fastened together at one end, with an aperture for holding a flat magnatized disc. He has a disc for each of the more common minerals. If he wants to locate gOld, for instance, he inserts the disc that is attracted by gold. Then he places one of the rods in his mouth, the other held tightly by both hands. Walking over the prospect grounds, the disc dips if mineral of that particular kind is beneath. Locates Rich Oil Fields Mr. Durow has been given credit for locating several of the richest oil fields in Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas. He also has located minerals in Missouri, Arkansas, Arizona, Nevada, Colorado and other states. Durow is a great traveler. He likes to hit the trails where man seldom travels. In his car he went to Grand Canyon recently. He camped at a cabin with two other men. The auto road ended five miles from the cabin. The nearest town was 50 miles away. His two companions went for provisions one day and Durow went exploring. Seeing a tunnellike formation, he entered and started walking, looking back occasionally to make sure the opening he had entered did not excape. After about a mile he saw a light the other way. Coming out in a deep well he looked upward hundreds of feet. The only egress was back thru the tunnel. Then he got scared. What if bears or cougars made this their den? He made haste that no 80-year-Old man would make, unless frightened. But the only sign of life he saw as a starved meadow lark. No wild animals infested that territory. There was nothing to eat--but rocks. Rocks of all colors and, hues. Escapes Barely With Life. Recently he spent a night in a hotel at Belleville, Tex. It was a new hotel, open the first time that night. About midnight Durow was awaken'ed by the smell of smoke. He awakened his companions and excaped just as the building fell in. It was burned to the ground. Another time he ran into a flooded region, drove 48 hous without sleep in order to keep an appointment some 50 miles away. Tired" He denies that the long drive affected him in the least, despite his 80 years. Durow can tell interesting stories of his travels and of pioneer Kansas by the hour. He is an excellent storehouse of knowledge on many subjects. Mrs. Durow enjoys life with the same zest that she did 50 years ago when she mamed the then young blacksmith and most important artisan in the town. As will be noted in the accompanying pictures, they look nearly alike. This similiarity often is noticed in couples, well mated, and who are of the same mental temperament. Community Pays Tribute The whole community of Big Springs pays tribute to Mr. and Mrs. Durow. They are the oldest inhabitants of the place, tho several others can almost equal their record. Often Mr. and Mrs. Durow grow reminiscent. Their young neighbors gather about and listen, wide-eyed and breathless, to the hair raising tales of actual life in a new country, with none of the modern conveniences. Or they stand at the door of the little blacksmith shop and listen to the flaming, forge and the anvil chorus as the veteran smithy adds finishing touches to a piece of machinery, the like of which was not in existence 50 years ago. Note: The writer Mae Henry of this article was a teacher in this community. The old Durow home is still standing and liveable and is owned by one of her grandsons. ******************************************************** Another article on the hi story of Big Springs written by Wm.

Charley Kempthome has been teaching people how to write about their lives since 1976, when he started the first "reminiscence workshop" in the nation. Like many students in his workshops, he has been a writer all of his life, keeping a diary as a child and using his earnings from farm work to buy a typewriter at the age of 11. He painted the keys of the typewriter with luminous paint so that he could write after his parents said lights out. (It didn't work.) Charley has degrees in writing and history from the University of Kansas, as well as an M.F.A. from the famed Iowa Writer's Workshop at the University ofIowa. A former college professor, farmer, and painting contractor, in 1991 he founded the LifeStory Institute and, with his wife, LiftStory Magazine~ which he has edited ever since. June Fritz KempthorDe grew up on a Kansas farm. In college she won prizes for her art, exhibited in several national shows and won the Governor's Prize at Kansas State University, where she took a B.F.A. in printmaking in 1972. F or many years she O\wed and operated a paperhanging and painting business. Co-founder with her husband, Charley, of LiftStory Magazine, she is now the art director and publisher. June assists in the workshops in many capacities, and presents a segment on bow to layout and design one's writing and photographs for publication. Together she and her husband have presented workshops in more than twenty states and Canada There is a complete file of LifeStory lvfagazine in the Osma Room, donated by Gene Bovee. Barb Seiwald, who works at the Douglas County Title Company, will speak to us about "Abstracts ofDougJas County," on Saturday, May 6, at the Lawrence Public Library.

Misspellings. When ordering a vital record (birth, death, marriage, etc.), it is always important to list any 3 �possible variations in the spelling of the surname that you would like them to check. I recently .ordered a death record for my great grandfather, William Henry Hortman, who died in 1920. I was quite disappointed when a letter came back saying no record was found, although I knew the specific date and place where he died. Someone urged me to try different combinations of his name. I knew that I had seen Hortman misspelled as Hartman on some documents, so called the . records office back and asked them to check it.as Hartman. Bingo! Although the name on the death record itselfwas spelled correctly, the index had it misspelled as Hartman. The clerk explained that she had checked various spellings on the reel of microfilm where Hortman was listecL but Hartman was on another roll and she would never have thought to check it ifI hadn't requested it. -Judy Reed. Adding biographical Iex/. Recently I decided to put all my family tree infonnation into narrative form so that it would be easy to understand for my non-genealogist relatives. I printed a five-generation chart and then, going numerically, wiote a short narration for each person on the chart. I included source infonnation right'in the text, writing the census infonnation exactly.as the family was listed. I intended on making this easy for my family to understand, but it has benefited me immensely. Instead oflooking through separate files for birth, marriage, wills, etc., I can simply look at my narrative and it is all there together. I included where I had looked and whether or not there were records found. This project has made it very easy .to see if I have overlooked certain search options for that individual. I have saved the information on my bard drive and on a disk, and so updating the narrative will be easy. I wish I had done this a long time ago. -Brenda. Census page copies pay off When doing census work, be sure to copy the whole page and not just abstract your family. I did just that the other day and it paid off. When I got home I was looking through the Ancestral File and found the family along with a listing of brothers and sisters of the gentleman I was looking for. I got out my copied census and who was two houses .away? None other that his married sister. I got two families with one push of the copy button. -Janet Newell Rootsweb Review and Missing Links Myra Vanderpool Gonnley and Julia Case are the creators of these "e-zines."

(Reprinted from Heart Lines, no. 131 (JanlFeb 2000). published by the Heart of America Genealogical Society of Kansas City, MO.) 4 �GENEALOGICAL BOOKS AND SCRAPBOOKS FROM K..4.THRYN BUNTON Beulah Alice Keilman Ricketts (1887-1973) compiled over many years ten bound scrapbooks concerning genealogy. Her daughter, Kathryn Jeanette Bunton, Lawrence resident (born here in 1912) and longtime member of the Douglas County Genealogical Society, indexed the contents and has recently presented them to the Society for its collection in the Lawrence Public Library. Here are the general subjects, by volume. Beulah's family, in part, begins in the U.S. with the immigration of George Bunker to New England about 1650. The family then settled on Nantucket Island. A prominent relative was Dr. Alice Bunker Stockham (1833-1912), the fifth American woman to earn a M.D. degree, whose brother David Bunker (1830-1905) moved to Lawrence in 1890 to be an instructor at Haskell Indian Institute. David's son Charles Dean Bunker ( 1870-1948) began working for KU's Natural History Museum in 1895, and his ashes are scattered outside the museum; his grandson Charles Harry eChuck") Warner is president of the Lawrence's Mercantile Bank. Another cousin of Kathryn is Thomas Beisecker, professor of communication studies at KU. These volumes contain miscellaneous clippings about Nantucket and other places of the family's roots, but also excerpts of the genealogy professionally prepared in New York by the Lewis Historical Publishing Co. in the early 1930s. 1 - Guillaume Bon Court I William Bunker I George Bunker I William Bunker I Benjamin Bunker I Obed Bunker I Job Bunker / Isaac BuDker / Slocum Hussey Bunker I David Bunker I Jane Bunker (wife of William C.

II age 6 • heart murmur 10 =heart attack �(This is an adaptation of an article from the August 1994 issue of Good Housekeeping by Carol Krause. She is the author of the book How Healthy Is Your Family Tree?) HOW TO RESEARCH YOUR MEDICAL FAMILY TREE If it weren't for knowing her family's medical history, Cindy Leffew might be dead. Last year, when she was 3 I, Cindy felt a burning sensation from her shoulders dovln to her wrists. At first, she didn't pay much attention to it. But when the episodes persisted, she went to her doctor, and mentioned to him that her mother had suffered a heart attack at age 43. Her doctor referred her to a heart specialist, who encouraged her to fmd out as much as she could about her family~s medical history. Cindy learned (see the accompanying "tree") that her mother's brother had died ofa heart attack at age 45, and her maternal grandmother had had two heart attacks, the first at age 45, and a fatal attack at 64. Cindy's heart doctor ordered some preliminary tests, which showed little. But because of her family history of heart disease, the doctor ordered something rare for a female patient of her age--a heart catheter test. Cindy was shocked when it reveled an 80 percent blockage in one of her main arteries. She immediately underwent heart bypass surgery, which may well have saved her from a possible faUl) heart attack. Medical family trees have long been used to counsel prospective parents with family histories of hereditary childhood abnormalities, such as Down's syndrome, cystic fibrosis, hemophilia, muscular dystrophy, and sickle-cell anemia. But scientists have recently discovered that many serious adult illnesses-most notably cancer, heart disease, and diabetes-can have strong genetic links. Knowing about the health of your relative, then, could have a vital impact on you and your family's future health. Here's how you can make your own tree: GATHERING TIlE FACTS Make a list of everyone in your family, including your parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins, as well as your children. To construct the tree, use the chart with this article as a model. Draw squares for males and circles for females. (This will help a doctor quickly identify gender-related illnesses.) In each square or circle,enter these simple facts: major illnesses, age at onset of illness, and both cause of and age at death. To find this information: I. Ask older relatives to tell you about deceased family members. 2. Save medical records. It is helpful to have as many details as possible about a relative's illness. For example, if someone died of a heart attack, did he or she have high cholesterol (a condition that can be hereditary), high blood pressure, a heart defect? Did he or she smoke? 3. Collect death certificates of family members as far back as great-grandparents, if possible. They often indicate the specific cause of death. If you can't find a certificate for an ancestor, and you know in which state he or she die~ call or write the state capital and ask how to get a copy of the death certificate. INTERPRETING YOUR TREE Pay close attention to the illnesses of "first-degree" relatives (parents, siblings, children) with whom you share the most genes. But if you see a pattern of an i1lness among any relatives, ask your family doctor to refer you to a specialist in that disease. You should take quick action 11 �if you see the following infonnation on your family tree: 1. Two first-degree relatives with the same or similar cancers. (Note: Breast, uterine, ovarian, and colon cancers can be genetically related.) 2. One first-degree relative with heart disease, life threateni~g diabetes, or cancer that was diagnosed before he or she was 50. Early onset of an illness can signal a genetic link. USING WHAT YOU KNOW If you learn you are at risk for a certain disease, you can immediately make nutritional and life-style changes. For instance, if you discover you may have a genetic predisposition to hardening of the arteries (arteriosclerosis), that may be the incentive you need to stop smoking. If you seem to be at risk for colon cancer, you might be encouraged to switch to a low-fat, highfiber diet and to schedule periodic colon tests. Ifbreast cancer is common in your family, you may be more diligent about doing monthly breast self-exams and scheduling yearly mammograms. But the benefits of knowing your family's genetic probabilities go far beyond the traditional advice about life-style and nutrition changes and regular screenings. People at high risk for certain diseases may be advised to lUldergo preventive surgery to give them peace of mind (such as removal of ovaries for women at high risk of ovarian cancer). IN THE FUTURE You can also get a jump start on an even more startling appr.oach to health care. In the next few years, gene therapy wiJI take astonishing leaps and bounds in three ways: 1. In the embryo. Already, a handful of couples who carry genes for either cystic fibrosis of Tay-Sachs disease have givenbirtb to healthy babies using a new technique that includes in vitro fertilization. When the embryos (fertilized in a test tube) are only four or eight cells large, they are checked for the defeCtive gene. Only those embryos that are free of the defective gene are implanted in the woman's uterus. 2. In the ill child. The first successful use of gene therapy occurred in September 1990 at the National Institute ofHeaJth (NIH). A four-year-old girl was ill with ADA (adrenosinedeaminase) deficiency, a rare disease which wipes out the immune system. (The "boy in the plastic bubble" had ADA) NIH doctors gave the girl injections of the missing ADA gene. and, four years later. she's doing fine. 3. In ill adults. Gene alterations have been tried, with some success, on a small number of terminally ill brain and lung cancer patients. as weU as on patients with a family history of very high cholesterol. ' Once deadly genes are identified, we can look for them in our blood. But we will be well into the twenty-first century before a Iow-cost, comprehensive test is available to the public. Until then, learning about your medical family tree may be the best way to ensure you get the tests and intervention you need. 12 �FROM UNBROKEN SOD TO PAVED ROADS Sees Old Pass On, Speed Eras Dawn Otto Durow, Big Springs Blacksmith for Half a Century, Pioneer Traveler, Mineral Locator, Storehouse of Early Kansas History, Still Stands at his Flaming Forge. By Mrs. Howard Henry Copied from the Topeka Daily Capital-Sunday, Jan. 13, 1929: He sharpened the plowshares that broke the sod about Big Springs. Today he repairs tractors-plows that turn over ten feet of soil at one time. He saw the covered wagons that carried thousands of homeseekers into a new land. Today he sees thousands flit past his door in high-power motor cars or huge interstate buses, on a wellpaved highway, U. S. No. 40. Looking upward he sees an occasional airplane skimming thru the ethereal blue, and wonders at the changes time and genius have brought upon the land he nelped reclaim from the wilderness that was pioneer Kansas. Otto Durow, of Big Springs, Douglas county, is near the SO-year mark. He seWed in the community where he has made his home all these years, when there was nothing but a trail. Big Springs was one of the stopping places on the Old Oregon Trail. Dwindles Away. Comes Back. It became quite a place with hotels, parks, stores, saloons and ather accouterments of frontier towns. Then it dwindled away somewhat, but just now is coming back into its own. The postoffice was taken away, and citizens are trying to get it back. The t~lepho~e e~change was moved away, and now Big Spnngs IS large enough to support another. Mr. and Mrs. Durow recently celetrated their 50th wedding anniversary. They have lived all their married lives in the same house, one of the first erected in Kansas territory. They saw the covered wagon caravans streaming over the naked prairie. They saw ~e border ruffians come and go, In their pl~es coming sol~d citizenry that has made the Big Springs commumty one of the finest and most prosperous in the state. Rallroada Chose Lower Paths. .The railroad passed them by, choosing the easier gOIng along the Kaw river, three miles to the north. Big Springs is located on the high divide between the Kaw and Wakarusa watershed. U. S. No. 40 follows this divide thru its entire length, from Topeka to Lawrence, passing directly thru Big Springs. Being the only blacksmith, pioneer travelers beat a path to Durow's shop door. Of them he heard the latest gossip, news of Indian massacres further west, latest political happenings in the East, and all the trail news worth relating. Big Springs was the wa~ering ~d camping places and several large spnngs furnIshed an abundance of fine water. Durow can show curious persons the location of the old Pickens hotel and barroom where the first temperance crusade in Kansas began. Barrels of whisky were rolled out into the street and burned. Points to Noted Landmarks, He also can point out fragmentary portions of foundations of early buildings, when Big Springs w.as quite a litHe city. Where the city park, with water Piped from the springs, furnished trysting place for youthful lovers; where old churches flourished and passed into oblivion; where the old Harper House, another noted hostelry s, stood just east of the first United Brethren church in Kansas, with the latter's foundation stones crumbling into dust; traces of the ?Id Oregon and California roads; the exact I~catlo~ of the old log cabin where two girls sold liquor In successful defiance of the temperance ~dh.ents; the foundation of the first legislative hall In ~ansa; the building where the famous -rump legislature- held its session; the approximate. location of the hiding place of a Pot of gold, hidden by a scared emigrant on his way to California All of these and more can Otto Durow shaw to those who seek his home in search of historical data. ~or he is a gold mine of information on things pe~aJ",ng to early Kansas history. For all his years he IS remarkably active, mentally and physically. But he ~d .M.rs. Durow enjoy the best of health, livil'Kl.in their onglnal home built of solid walnut lumber to endure for ages. .. When News Spread Slowly. In the early days, Big Springareceived its mail by star route between Topeka and Lawrence. Except for the ever present travelers, news spread slowly. No newspapers reached Big Springs for years after the territory was settled. The United Brethren church burned down one week-day night. Members came in on Sunday, one bringing an org~ to furnish music. They were surprised to find their house of worship in ruins. It never was rebuilt. A new one was later erected in another location. Ox teams was the favorite motive power in those days. lumber for the Durow house, equal to any modem home, was hauled from the Kaw bluffs. Weather-boarding is one and one-half inches thick of solid walnut. ' 13 �The story of the pot of gold is vivid in Durow's w memory. A train of "prairie schooners came acoss the ferry at Lecompton. The train reached Big Springs just as rumors came that Indians had attacked and wiped out the settlement at Topeka, then just a small village. The wagon master and the crippled cook took a pot of gold coins and dug a hole deep in the ground near one of the many springs in the vicinity. Old settlers recall that the wagon-master and cook paid a visit to the log cabin where the two girls sold liquor. Next morning. in muddled state of mind, they went west. Some 15 years later the cook returned. He spent weeks hunting for the treasure. But Couldn't Find His Gold. Changed topography thru erosion mixed him up until he couldn't tell heads nor tails of the country. He didn't find the gold. Ever since Big Springs folks have hunted for the pot of gold, but with no success whatever. Durow is somewhat of a mineralogist. He has a contrivance which he claims is 100 per cent perfect in finding oil, gas· and other minerals. He calls it a uMinemeter." It is a Queer looking "Dingus," composed of two copper or brass rods, fastened together at one end, with an aperture for holding a flat magnatjzed disc. He has a disc for each of the more common minerals. It he wants to locate gold, for instance, he inserts the disc that is attracted by gold. Then he places one of the rods in his mouth, the other held tightly by both hands. Walking over the prospect grounds, the disc dips if mineral of that particular kind is beneath. Locates Rich Oil Fields Mr. Durow has been given credit for locating several of the richest oil fields in Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas. He also has located minerals in Missouri, Arkansas, Arizona, Nevada, Colorado and other states. Durow is a great traveler. He likes to hit the trails where man seldom travels. In his car he went to Grand Canyon recently. He camped at a cabin with two other men. The auto road ended five miles from the cabin. The nearest town was 50 miles away. His two companions went for provisions one day and Durow went exploring. Seeing a tunnellike formation, he entered and started walking, looking back occasionally to make sure the opening he had entered did not excape. After about a mile he saw a light the other way. Coming out in a deep well he looked upward hundreds of feet. The only egress was back thru the tunnel. Then he got scared. What if bears or cougars made this their den? He made haste that no 80-year-old man would make, unless frightened. But the only sign of life he saw as a starved meadow lark. No wild animals infested that territory. There was nothing to eat-but rocks. Rocks of all colors and hues. Escapes Barely With Life. Recently he spent a night in a hotel at Belleville, Tex. It was a new hotel, open the first time that night. About midnight Durow was awakened by the smell of smoke. He awakened his companions and excaped just as the building fell in. It was burned to the ground. Another time he ran into a flooded region, drove 48 hous without sleep in order to keep an appointment some 50 miles away. Tired" He denies that the long drive affected him in the least, despite his 80 years. Durow can tell interesting stories of his travels and of pioneer Kansas by the hour. . He is an excellent storehouse of knowledge on many subjects. Mrs. Durow enjoys life with the same zest that she did 50 years ago when she manied the then young blacksmith and most important artisan in the town. As will be noted in the accompanying pictures, they look nearly alike. This similiarity often is noticed in couples, well mated, and who are of the same mental temperament. Community Pays Tribute The whole community of Big Springs pays tribute to Mr. and Mrs. Durow. They are the oldest inhabitants of the place, tho several others can almost equal their record. Often Mr. and Mrs. Durow grow reminiscent. Their young neighbors gather about and listen, wide-eyed and breathless, to the hair raising tales of actual life in a new country, with none of the modem conveniences. Or they stand at the door of the little blacksmith shop and listen to the flaming, forge and the anvil chorus as the veteran smithy adds finishing touches to a piece of machinery, the like of which was not in existence 50 years ago. Note: The writer Mae Henry of this article was a teacher in this community. The old Durow home is still standing and liveable and is owned by one of her grandsons. *****************************.************************** Another article on the hi story of Big Springs written by Wm.

On the back of the picture are the words: "Remus Starr: Horse thief, sent to Montana Territorial Prison, 1885. Escaped 1887, robbed the Montana Flyer six times.

But let's revise things a bit. We simply crop the picture, scan in an enlarged image and edit it with image processing software so that all that is seen is a head shot. To the Citizens of Douglas County: In the interest of economy your school directory is coming to you in different form this year. I h~pe the saving will more than balance the perfection and convenience found in our previous booklets. Next, we rewrite the text: "Remus Starr was a famous cowboy in the Montana Territory. His business empire grew to include acquisition of valuable equestrian assets and intimate dealings with the Montana railroad. Beginning in 1885, he devoted several years of his life to service a grovernment facility, finally taking leave to resume his dealings with the railroad. In 1887, he was a key player in a vital investigation run by the renowned Pinkerton Detective Agency. In 1889, Remus passed away during an important civic function held in his honor when the platform upon which he was standing collapsed.' Errors are inevitable. We cordially solicit your help In correcting them. Sincerely Harold C. Fisher County Superintendent Dues paid now will be good through December 2000. Our dues year runs from January through December.

The committees are already meeting to discuss proper ways to commemorate this occasion. It seems that it would be very appropriate for the Society to be involved in someway. If you have any ideas make them known at any of the meetings or call any of the committee listed on the inside of the front cover of the Pioneer. We have plenty of time to plan but don't want to get caught short.

Her address is Janet Larson, 10650 SW Lucas Drive, Tualatin OR 97062-8413. From Ms. Larson's letter: "An interesting item I found in the 1860-1861 city directory was the listing of Silas B. Norton as proprietor of the Eldridge House. I am aware of the role Shalor W. Eldridge played in the early history of the Lawrence area. Also, that he was born in West Springfield, MA, just a few years before Silas was born in Southampton, MA, not too far away. I understand from a publication of the Kansas State Historical Society, he married a Mary B. Norton. The surname, Eldridge, was given to the eldest son of Silas when he was born in 1859 and also to the second son of my maternal grandfather, Harry V.

SOUNDEX SEARCH TIP More often than not the four-character code in the upper left-hand comer of the 1900 Soundex cards is completely obscured. In such a situation, a logical first approach for locating the section of the microfilm containing the hidden Soundex Code is to look for the "header" cards which contain the one letter and three digits of cards in that section. Obviously that card appears following the final first names (the given names beginning with the letters W to Z) of the section preceding the one for which you are searching. In some instances even the header card is not legible. In that case, you may want to employ what historians call the "pothole method" of locating the desired Soundex Code rather than using the more time consuming method of laboriously searching through the reel page by page. For example, if you are searching for the surname Newcom for which the Soundex characters are N250 and you have fast-forwarded the film toa group which contains the name, Nesler, checking the code for Nesler reveals that you are looking at the N246 section of the film. Then if continuing to advance the film fairly rapidly brings it to the name, Newcomb, for which the code is N251 you have overshot your target, but only by one Soundex Code section and a slow reversal will take you into the desired Soundex section. From: Edward Holder, New Hampshire State Library. COLOR-CODED MAPS A thing that has been a great help to me in sorting out the families of my Webster family (maternal-Grandmother) are old maps that I have found in different books in our local family history center. I make a copy, then use different colored pens when I locate which county a part of the family settled in. When I find a new person, ifit tells the place of birth, marriage, death, etc., I have been able to sort out a lot of the families and who settled and remained where. Also listings of how the counties changed over time are a big help. Mary Belle Hockett. NUMBERS The next time you are feeling rather unimportant, try a little mathematical trick based on the fact that it took two people, your parents, to get you here. Each of your parents had two parents so in the generation just prior to that of your mother and father, there were four people whose pairing off and sharing a love contributed to your existence. You are the product of eight greatgrandparents, 16 great-great-grandparents, 32 great-great-great grandparents, etc. Keep on multiplying the number by two, you will discover that a scant 500 years ago, there were 1,040,576 people on this planet beginning the production of you. Tom Lynn. HIGHLIGHTERS AND PHOTOCOPIES Do not use a colored "highlighter" to mark out names in documents. Unless you use a color 42 �copier, you marks will come out solid black and you can't read what you have highlighted when you make a copy later. Arnold. MAKE A WISH LIST As I am going through my files, this is a perfect time to compile a list of the blanks that need to be filled in. I use a blank research log and title it "[Family name] to do list" and file it in the notebook that I take with me on research outings. This log won't be as detailed as the logs that I use to document the steps that I have taken (i. e. records requests sent, searches performed, publications consulted etc.), but instead may read like "need birth date for Thomas TOBIN." Once my organizational tasks are complete, I will go into more detail seeking sources that I can use to find this information. With my documentation inventory complete, I will consult the records I have for him, looking for clues in the data that I already have, and making a list of possible places I can search to find this information. 1890 CENSUS SUBSTITUTE When a basement fire in the Commerce Building in Washington D.C. destroyed most of the 1890 federal census, a valuable source of information was lost to researchers of America's past. Ancestry.com, with the aid of the National Archives and Records Administration and the Allen County Public Library, now provides the first definitive online substitute for the missing census. More that 20 million records have been identified for inclusion in the collection and additions will be made regularly as they become available for posting. It will include fragments of the original 1890 census that survived the fire, special veterans schedules, several Native American tribe censuses for years surrounding 1890, state censuses (1885 or 1895), city and county directories, alumni directories, and voter registration documents. When completed this collection will be an unparalleled tool for researchers of American ancestors. ANCESTRYCOM ANNOUNCES IMAGES ONLINE Ancestry.com is taking online genealogy to a new level by launching Images Online. Of great value to family historians and genealogists, the online images provide extensive detail that is only available by viewing the source document. Original American Civil War pension index cards are the first available images, and following soon will be top-quality images of U.S. censuses, 17901920. Images Online will provide Ancestry.com members with access to more online genealogical information than ever before. Ancetry.com is dedicated to saving its members time and money by allowing them to view and print documents that have traditionally been stored on microfilm or are only available in limited numbers of archives and libraries throughout the nation. Going beyond the detail of indexes an information summaries, the online images will provide extensive detail only available through original records. Stay tuned for more information! 43 �FROM DON VAUGHN I received this infonnation from another mailing list and thought I would pass it on. In the event you don't have a computer close at hand to do the calculating: REMEMBER 8870 That's not an error: It's the number to remember when you want to find the birthdate of someone when you only have the date of death and age. How do you figure the birthdate? Suppose the person died May 6, 1889 at the age of71 years, 7 months, 9 days. Write the year, month, dayas------18890506 Subtract the age at death--------------710709 This gives the figure-----------------181 79797 Now subtract 8870------------------------8870 The result is---------------------------18170927 Year 1817, 9th month(Sept), 27th day or 27 Sept, 1817. Cemetery photography If you have a lot of headstones to photograph, you might consider video taping them. My uncle went on a trip to England and discovered a church cemetery with about 1/4 of the people related to us. He took pictures of headstones and also video taped them, reading them out loud as he taped them. Some of the photographs were hard to read in the dim light but the video tape turned out great. Tony and Donna Ramey via Don Vaughn. ROOSEVELT FOUNTAIN IN SOUTH PARK The Countryside Garden club is inviting all citizens of Lawrence to participate in a project to restore the historic Roosevelt Fountain in South park. The total cost of the undertaking will probably be about $50,000, part of which will come from the city. If you are interested in helping with the project contact Mary Y. Allen and look at the brochures in the Osma Room in the Lawrence Public Library. RECOGNITION FOR KATHRYN BUNTON AND THE SOCIETY The Douglas County Genealogical Society has been the fortunate recipient of the genealogical collection of Kathryn 1. BUNTON, of Lawrence, KS. This includes ten bound scrapbooks concerning genealogy compiled by Beaulah Alice KEILMAN RICKETTS, mother of Kathryn BUNTON and compiled prior to Mrs. RICKETT'S death in 1973. These have been indexed by Miss BUNTON. This generous gift also included about 70 books on genealogy. 44 �This is another great example of what we all should consider! Unless you know that someone in your family will be interested in your collection (beyond your own"family tree" efforts) be sure to make provisions so that your books will go where they may be used and appreciated. This appeared in the Kansas Review volume 25, no 4, published by the Kansas Council of Genealogical Societies, Inc.

The results of the territorial census of 1855 are not included in review tables contained in later census reports because the data, arranged by districts, were not comparable to the county tauulations of the territorial census of 1859 and subsequent State censuses.31 After the organization of the State the first. census was taken in 1865. The results, howeyer, were incomplete and were never published. 3s The State Board of Agriculture conducted the censuses of 1875, 1885, 1895, 1905, 1915, and 1925-the last State census taken in Kansas prior to the repeal of the act governing these enumerations. In addition to the decennial censuses, 1875-1925, the State Board of Agriculture published in its annual and biennial reports annual statements of the population of the State by counties based upon enumerations carried out by assessors in compiling their tax lists.

The law which provided for the decennial census in years ending in 5 was repealed in 1933.44 Thus, no State census was taken in Kansas after 1925. The annual returns of the enumerations conducted by the assessors have continued to be published by the State Board of Agriculture in its Biennial Report. The report for the years 1943-44 gives the population of each county, number of farms and approximate land area, and the population of incorporated cities on March 1, 1944. .. For the most part the Biennial Report for 1895 and 1896 (P. 499-564) contains the same tables released previously In the quarterly reJlort cited above.

Dean, Miss May Dean, Master Frank Dean, L S. Steele and wife, Masters Charlie, Johnnie and Jimmie Steele, Mrs. E. M. Woodward, Misses Annie, Sadie, Katie and Mabel Woodward, Master Charlie Woodward, Ira L. Steele, Milton Shepherd· and family, Albert Shepherd, Carrie Shepherd, John Shepherd, and Miss Jennie Shepherd. A HAPPY ANNIVERSARY One of those happy occasions which makes us feel that life is worth living for, and that old age has its delights, occurred yesterday at the residence of Col. J. C. Steele, at Clinton. It was the anniversary of the fiftieth birthday of his daughter, Mrs. Dean. This is even better than a golden wedding celebration. The wedding anniversary to all happy married people is a time for happy memories, but the anniversary of the birth of a child, recalling, as it must, all the wonderful richness and fervor of the happiness of new parenthood, is something richer and better. Since writing the above we have learned that Mr. Jas. Steele, who resides at Emporia, this State, was unable to be present yesterday, much to the regret of those present. Col. Steele is one of the earliest settlers and one of our most influential and respected citizens. In honored and happy old age he now sits under his own vine and fig tree, and yesterday gathered under their shade all of his living children and grandchildren. All the relations from far and near were present, as well as a goodly number of neighbors; in all the company, numbering near one hundred. Dinner was served in an arbor erected for with the purpose, and beautifully decorated evergreens and flowers. The table fairly groaned under the weight of good cheer, and full justice was done to it by the friends whose ride there had given them appetites. After dinner the company assembled to hear an address from the host. Col. Steele is in his 76th year, but is in full mental and bodily vigor. He expressed the happiness he felt at seeing gathered around him all of his children and grand children. He spoke of the vicissitudes through which they had passed, the sad and happy hours they had known together. He alluded to the old age which was now stealing upon him and to the future to which they were all tending. His address was very appropriated and in many places very affecting. After his address various others were made by friends and neighbors, \ expres~ a kind feeling and the respect which mey au-telt for him and his estimable family, and many wishes were expressed that he might long live to enjoy in his pleasant home the repose and freedom from care which a long life of honest labor had earned for him. 57 .~ �BLOOMINGTON INDIANA DAILY STUDENT Oct. 14, 1929 DOWN COLLEGE AVENUE Down that College Avenue This department has moved down another College avenue, but it will continue to open its columns to those alumni who care to recall days at Bloomington. We have heard of the impress of L. U. Alumni in Missouri, but did you ever read a list of those who hold prominent positions in Kansas? There seem to have been many southern born students in the University before the war between the states but none from Kansas. Many of the early graduates, however, went to that state or settled there after roaming around in the West for a few years. According to the data in Wylie's History, the following list shows the name of those alumni who were citizens and had a part in the formation and life of the sunflower state. We can begin with the first class, 1831, because Michael Hummer, A. B., '30, was superintendent of public instruction in Kansas and a missionary there before his death in 1879. In the arts class of 1836, Matthew Monroe Campbell, who was in charge of the preparatory department under President Andrew Wylie, was agent for the American Bible Society in Kansas in 1859, and died in Topeka in 1897. Adam Marshall,A. B., '39, taught in Kansas for many years and died at Idana in 1866. David Wasson Stormont, A. B., '42, lived in the same city for many years after receiving his M. D. degree from the University of Pensylvania in 1860. He died in Topeka in 1887. Elam Hamilton Waugh, also of '39, received his M. D. in 1853 from the Eclectic Medical Institute (Cincinnati) and moved to Kansas. In 1862 he was made physician to the Leavenworth schools and also served as superintendent several years. In the trouble which took place in an effort to make Kansas a slave state, he lost his second son in the Quantrill raid on Lawrence. Dr. Waugh later moved to Colorado and died at Longmont in 1891. Samuel Newell DePew Martin, A. B. '46, was a missionary in Kansas four years and afterwards superintendent of a Indian industrial school in Nebraska. He died in Goldendale, Wash., in 1903. David Shuck, a member of Martin's class, lived in Lecompton for many years and taught and preached throughout Kansas. He died in 1901 and is buried at Hartsville, Ind. Robert Mitchel Overstreet, '48, a Presbyterian minister, was a member of the Kansas legislature and died in Emporia in 1915. A. H. Evans, LL.B., '48, practiced law for many years in Leavenworth and died there in 1893. John P. Greer, '49, also was a lawyer and died in Topeka in 1889. Robert Gaston Elliott, '50, together with Josiah Miller, '52, owned and edited the Kansas Free Press at Lawrence. The newspaper office was destroyed by border ruffians. Elliott was a trustee of the University of Kansas. Josiah Miller, '52, in addition to owning the Kansas Free Press, was elected probate judge of Douglas county in 1857. In 58 �1861 he was elected state senator but resigned to become postmaster of Lawrence. In 1863 he became a paymaster with the rank of major. In 1866 he was a member of the state 1egis1aure. The Kansas Free Press was an anti-slavery journal, and was destroyed by order of the territorial government in 1856, having been indicted by a pro-slavery jury as a nuisance. Shortly afterwards Miller was captured by pro-slavery forces and tried for treason against South Carolina, his native state. On his release he canvassed the West for John C. Fremont. To Miller Kansas is indebted for its seal with the motto "Ad astra per aspera." He died in 1870. William Wilson McMillan, '53, lived in Olathe for many years, where he was a Reformed Presbyterian preacher. He died in 1895. William Harrison Lemon, '54, was a physician at Lawrence for many years Werter Renick Davis, A. M., (honorary), '54, M. D. College of Physicians and Surgeons, Cincinnati, '58, was a physcian and had a D.D. degree from DePauw. He died in Baldwin in 1898. John Dodds Perring, '57, was a Presbyterian minister at Oak Hill for many years. He died in Brookville, O. John S. Carter, '58, lived at Auburn for many years before his death in 1912. He was buried in Wakarusa, Kansas. Samuel James Kahler, also of '58, was a county commissioner of Dickinson county, Kansas, and served a term in the state legislature. He later moved west and died in Los Angeles in 1912. Robert Campell McKinney, of the same class, was a Presbyterian minister at Newton before going to California. He died in 1903 at Ft. Bragg. Calif. John Watts, '61, the last class we will include, was a national bank examiner and receiver for insolvent banks in Kansas. He died at Newton in 1925. The earlier I. U. alumni in the state seemed to have a creditable position in its development. --K.W.F. TENTATIVE SCHEDULE of programs for Fall, 2000.

You can find this title in the Osma Room of the Lawrence Public Library. LA~NCESESQlITC~ In 2004 the City of Lawrence will celebrate its sesquicentennial anniversary of its founding in 1854. The committees are already meeting to discuss proper ways to commemorate this occasion. It seems that it would be very appropriate for the Society to be involved in someway. If you have any ideas make them known at any of the meetings or call any of the committee listed on the inside of the front cover of the Pioneer. We have plenty oftime to plan but don't want to get caught short.

Paul Jordan in his capacity as genealogist for the society receives many interesting requests for. information. This client is seeking any further information that is available. It holds a lot of interesting information in the family group sheets, etc. Portions ofa letter from Ms. Larson are included. Her address is Janet Larson, 10650 SW Lucas Drive, Tualatin OR 97062-8413. From Ms. Larson's letter: "An interesting item I found in the 1860-1861 city directory was the listing of Silas B. Norton as proprietor of the Eldridge House. I am aware of the role Shalor W. Eldridge played in the early history of the Lawrence area. Also, that he was born in West Springfield, MA,just a few years before Silas was born in Southampton, MA, not too far away. I understand from a publication of the Kansas State Historical Society, he married a Mary B. Norton. The surname, Eldridge, was given to the eldest son of Silas when he was born in 1859, and also to the second son of my maternal grandfather, Harry V. Norton, both as middle names." 31 �Family Group Sheet 16 Mar 2000 Husband Silas Bartholomew NORTON 1,2,3 t;;t'.i 1 Aug 1823 Southampton, Hampshire, MA• I:;~F Mar 1899 8 Mar 1899 Fort Collins, Larimer, CQ4 Gr~dview Cemetery, Fort Collins, Larimer, CQ4 New Orleans, Orleans, LA Birth f~0:;;: Death ~';~ Burial ;t.;~ Divorce 7 Jun 1853 1 Oct 1875 ~I~ ~ ~a;8!~33 Marriage Douglas County, KS ~;~~ Other spouse Caroline M.

For example, if you are searching for.~e surname Newcom for which the Soundex characters are N250 and you have fast-forWarded the film toa group which contains the name, Nesler, checking the code for Nesler reveals that you are looking at the N246 section of the film.

J. C. Steele, at Clinton. It was the anniversary of the fiftieth birthday of his daughter, Mrs. Dean. This is even better than a golden wedding celebration. The wedding anniversary to all happy married people is a time for happy memories, but the anniversary of the birth of a child, recalling, as it must, all the wonderful richness and fervor of the happiness of new parenthood, is something richer and better. Col. Steele is one of the earliest settlers and one of our most influential and respected citizens. In honored and happy old age he now sits under his own vine and fig tree, and yesterday gathered under their shade all of his living children and grandchildren. All the relations from far and n~r were present, as well as a goodly number of neighbors; in all the company, numbering near one hundred. Dinner was served in an arbor erected for with the purpose, and beautifully decorated evergreens and flowers. The table fairly groaned under the weight of good cheer, and full justice was done to it by the friends whose ride there had given them appetites. After dinner the company assembled to hear an address from the host. Col. Steele is in his 76th year, but is in full mental and bodily vigor. He expressed the happiness he felt at seeing gathered around him all of his children and grand children. He spoke of the vicissitudes through which they had passed, the sad and happy hours they had known together. He alluded to the old age which was now stealing upon him and to the future to which they were all tending. His address was very appropriated and in many places very affecting. After his address various others were made by friends and neighbors, expressing a kind feeling and the respect which they all felt for him and his estimable family, and many wishes were expressed that he might long live to enjoy in his pleasant home the repose and freedom from care which a long life of honest labor had earned for him. 57 .:... The following is a list of the relatives 'that were present: Col. Steele and wife, Mr.' and Mrs. R.. A Dean, Mr. J. H. Dean, Mr. Chas.. DeSri, Miss May Dean, .Master Frank Dean; .l. S. Steele arid wife, Masters Charlie, Johnnie and Jimmie Steere, Mrs. E. M. Woodward, Misses Annie, Sadie, Katie and Mabel Woodward, Master Charlie Woodward, Ira L Steele, Milton Shepherd' and _ fan'lily, AI~rt Shepherd, Carrie Shepherd, John Shepherd, and Miss Jennie Shepherd. . .' " :. . . . Since writing the above we have learned that' Mr. Jas. Steele, who resides at Empcjria," this State, was unable to be present yesterday; much to the . regret of those present. �BLOOMINGTON INDIANA DAILY STUDENT Oct. 14,1929 DOWN COLLEGE AVENUE Down that College Avenue This department has moved down another College avenue, but it will continue to open its columns to those alumni who care to recall days at Bloomington. We have heard of the impress of L. U. Alumni in Missouri, but did you ever read a list of those who hold prominent positions in Kansas? There seem to have been many southern born students in the University before the war between the states but none from Kansas. Many of the early graduates, however, went to that state or settied there after roaming around in the West for a few. years. According to the data in Wylie's History, the following list shows the name of those alumni who were citizens and had a part in the formation and life of the sunflower state. We can begin with the first class, 1831, because Michael Hummer, A. B., '30, was superintendent of public instruction in Kansas and a missionary there before his death in 1879. In the arts class of 1836, Matthew Monroe Campbell, who was in charge of the preparatory department under President Andrew Wylie, was agent for the American 'Bible Society in Kansas in 1859, and died in Topeka in 1897. Adam Marshall,A. B., '39, taught in Kansas for many years and died at Idana in 1866. David Wasson Stormont, A. B., '42, lived in the same city for many years after receiving his M. D. degree from the University of Pensylvariia in 1860. He died in Topeka in 1887. E1am Hamilton Waugh, also of '39, received his M. D. in 1853 from the Eclectic Medical Institute (Cincinnati) and moved to Kansas. In 1862 he was made physician to the Leavenworth schools and also served as superintendent several years. In the trouble which took place in an effort to make Kansas a slave state, he lost his second son in the Quantrill raid on Lawrence. Dr. Waugh later moved to Colorado and died at Longmont in 1891. Samuel Newell DePew Martin, A. B. '46, was a missionary in Kansas four years and afterwards superintendent of a Indian industrial school in Nebraska. He died in Goldendale, Wash., in 1903. David Shuck, a member of Martin's class, lived in Lecompton for many years and taught and preached throughout Kansas. He died in 1901 and is buried at Hartsville, Ind. Robert Mitchel Overstreet, '48, a Presbyterian minister, was a member of the Kansas legislature and died in Emporia in 1915. A. H. Evans, LL.B., '48, practiced law for many years in Leavenworth and died there in 1893. John P. Greer, '49, also was a lawyer and died in Topeka in 1889. Robert Gaston Elliott, 150, together with Josiah Miller, 152, owned and edited the Kansas Free Press at Lawrence. The newspaper office was destroyed by border ruffians. Elliott was a trustee of the University of Kansas. Josiah Miller, 152, in addition to owning the Kansas Free Press, was elected probate judge of Douglas county in 1857. In 58 �1861 he was elected state senator but resigned to become postmaster of Lawrence. In 1863 he became a paymaster with the rank of major. In 1866 he was a member of the state legislaure. The Kansas Free Press was an anti-slavery journal, and was destroyed by order of the territorial government in 1856, having been indicted by a pro-slavery jury as a nuisance. Shortly afterwards Miller was captured by pro-slavery forces and tried for treason against South Carolina, his native state. On his release he canvassed the West for John C. Fremont. To Miller Kansas is indebted for its seal with the motto "Ad astra per . aspera." He died in 1870. . William Wilson McMillan, '53, lived in Olathe for many years; it', where he was a Reformed Presbyterian preacher. He died in 1895. William Harrison Lemon, '54, was a physician at Lawrence.for . many years Werter Renick Davis, A. M., (honorary), '54, M. D. College of Physicians and Surgeons, Cincinnati, '58, was a physcian and had a . D.D. degree from DePauw. He died in Baldwin in 1898. John Dodds Perring, '57, was a Presbyterian minister at Oak Hill for many years. He died in Brookville, O. John S. Carter, '58, lived .at Auburn for many years before his death in 1912. He was buried in Wakarusa, Kansas. Samuel James Kahler, also of '58, was a county commissioner of Dickinson county, Kansas, and served a term in the state legislature. He later moved west and died in Los Angeles in 1912. . Robert Campell McKinney, of the same class, was a Presbyterian minister at Newton before going to California. He died in 1903 at Ft. Bragg. Calif. . . John Watts, '61, the last class we will include, was a national bank examiner and receiver for insolvent banks in Kansas. He . died at Newton in 1925. The earlier I. U. alumni in the state seemed to have a creditable position in its development. --K.W.F. TENTATIVE SCHEDULE of programs for Fall, 2000.

She has been a teacher most of the time, first in Abilene and now in Lawrence. CLASS REUNION "A Feast of Reason and a Flow of Soul" Eunice M. Pease, now Mrs. John W. Alder, was present and gave a sketch of her life since school-days. Her home is at Pine Ridge Agency, Dakota Territory. One of the pleasantest features of commencement week was the reunion on Thursday last, of one of the early classes of the university. This was the class which entered the year General Frazer became chancellor. It was the intention to include all persons who were members of the class while it was in the old university building. Of the teachers of those days, only Profs Snow and Robinson are still members of the faculty. A previous engagement took Prof. Robinson to Wyandotte on that day. Mary L. Willes was reported as long since dead. Antoinette L. Williams, after leaving the university, graduated from the medical department of Michigan University at Ann Arbor. She is at present an assistant in the New England Hospital, Boston, Mass. A very interesting letter was read from Lizzie A. Williams, now Mrs. Charles Smith, of Stockton, Kansas. She graduated from Kansas State University in 1876, with highest rank in her classes. An enthusiastic meeting of the above class was held at Bismarck Grove, June 8, 1882. An elegant dinner was served, at which Prof. Snow presided, evidently rejoicing to meet so many of his former pupils and recall old times. After the feast Prof. Snow called the roll as in former days, each one responding in person or by proxy. Alice Archibald was recalled as a modest, bright girl. After leaving Lawrence she went to Washington, D.C., thence to Trinidad, Col.; was married and has been dead several years. Nineteen members were present and letters were read from many absentees, while college reminiscences were freely indulged in. Fannie Bigelow, now Mrs. D.P. Barber, of Lawrence, was present and added to the pleasure of the occasion. Ida Blood, now Mrs. Hasselman, of Indianapolis, Ind., sent a very pleasant letter regretting her inability to be present. It was remarkable to note how good each was reported to have been and how varied were the memories called up by the many speakers. Mertie C. Brett also sent a letter of regret from her pleasant home at the National Military Soldiers Home in Dayton, Ohio. The first name on the roll was that of Mary E. Anderson, now Mrs. Sam. Coffin. She was absent on account of illness in her family, but sent her regrets from her home in Kansas City. Anna F. Brown, now Mrs. Gillett, was reported as living in Southern Kansas. Libbie E. Diggs, now Mrs. Harry Schaum and a resident of Lawrence, was unexpectedly absent. The name of Susan E. Bullene called forth a tribute from Prof. Snow (which was echoed by all the classmates) to the memory of the beautiful girl so lately among us as Mrs. E.C. Deveraux, and in whose death we were all so bereaved. Though lovely in school-days, she was more so as years went on and those who once knew her cannot but regret her early death. Lucy F: Gleason, now Mrs. R.K. Tabor, of Lawrence, was present and gave an account of herself. Claira Lopez, absent, was reported as living in Canton, Mass. Abbie E. Noyes, present. Still resides in Lawrence. Louisa Guest, now Mrs. Fred Wann, of St. Louis, was unable to be present, but hoped to meet at least the Lawrence friends later in the season. [We are informed that it was largely due to the active 2 �Emina V. Hadley, present, is now to be found at the National Bank of Lawrence. Ed. Farren, now of New Haven, Conn., was recalled as "the irrepressible," according to Gen. Fraser. Carrie M. Hunt was well remembered, though long since dead. Laban L. Kirk was the versatile genious of the class. Mr. Kirk sent a card from Wellsville, Mo., with the following business heading printed thereon: Fannie E. Kimball, now Mrs. Arthur Carruth, sent a letter from Las Vegas, New Mexico, where she now resides. "Wellsville Weekly Wide Awake, published by L.L. Kirk, attorney, notary, real estate and insurance agent." Byron N. Ro_ks was also happily present. He left the university in the sophomore year, financially unable to continue, but has since graduated from the law department of Ann Arbor, and is now established at Kansas City. Laura Morrow, now Mrs. Criley, of Emporia, was present to recall old times with the rest. Fannie Ross, Mrs. Nelson Bangs of Lawrence, answered present as in days gone by. Ernest Vliet was represented by letters expressing great regret at his inability to be present. He is now in Chicago, where he is passenger agent for the Chicago and Northwestern railroad. He is remembered as the funloving member, but is now the dignified, earnest man of business. Sarah Sarchet, absent and unheard from. Mary Sutherland, the artist of the class, now Mrs. Pickett of the Sac and Fox agency, Indian Territory, was also marked present. Jane Wright was reported dead. O.P Barber, now one of the leading druggists of Lawrence, lent his aid to the occasion in many ways. Gertrude Boughton, now Mrs. I.S. Blackwelder, of Chicago, related the even tenor of her way, reminding all that the happiest experience is least often told. Isaac T. Barker was reported dead. Emma Barber was absent on account of sickness. John P. Cone, absent, is now in business at Chanute, Kansas. Maggie Deming, now Mrs. Andrews, of Lawrence, was present. Charles H. Crew's sad fate in falling a victim to the Indians, was recounted by Prof. Snow. Mary Speer (Neff) was absent, but is a resident of Lawrence. Joseph Hood, absent, and residence unknown. Gertrude Welch and Belle Cronkhite, both of Lawrence, were present. The latter is now Mrs. Newlin. James Wickersham, a graduate in 1876, sent a letter from Dimon, Kan., saying he would be unable to be present. He studied in Europe for several years after leaving the university, and on his reutrn to the United States, published a Greek tragedy and a book of poems. The gentlemen of the class, present, were few. Of the absent ones, Frank Chadwick was reported as a farmer of Douglas county. John C. Donaldson, now postmaster at Sherman, Texas, was present and added much to the interest of the occasion. Ed. Chadwick is connected with a railroad at St. Louis. AI. Diggs, absent on his vacation, is a member of the postoffice staff at Lawrence. Henry C. Burnett, now connected with the Leavenworth Standard, sent regrets and best wishes to old schoolmates. Frank Dinsmoor, superintendent of schools for Douglas county, was present and had a fund of old memories, which brought forth many others, among which Prof. Folkman and Janitor McConagie were well remembered. De Forest Bigelow is located at East Lynne, Missouri, where he has an interest in a large mill. 3 �GEN. JOHN FRASER Of the many incidents brought to mind during the day. none seemed to touch the class more closely. or to affect them more deeply than those connected with that grand martyr to the cause of education. the former Chancellor of the University, Gen. John Fraser. Remarks highly eulogistic in nature were offered concerning that ripe scholar and entusiastic teacher. In the course of these remarks it was brought out that the plan of the University building. its splended adaptation to the purposes of education. indeed. its very existence. are due to the untiring enthusiasm. the unselfish generositity and persevering zeal of Chancellor Fraser in its behalf. Had the agitation of the movement been delayed but three months. it is almost a certainty that the new University building would yet be a dream of its friends; for within that time after the money was pledged by the city of Lawrence, the hard times came on. and there has probably been no time since in the history of the city when such an enterprise could have been pushed to asuccessful termination. This class. which entered the University with Gen. Fraser and left it when he did. has most appropriately and lovingly taken upon itself to prepare a fitting memorial of its cherished instructor and friend. The class calls upon any and all who were connected with it at any time from its beginning an 1867 to graduation in 1874. to aid in this grateful duty. Active measures have already been taken toward procuring a bust of President Fraser. which. when presented to the university. will probably occupy a place opposite that of another benefactor. Amos A. Lawrence. We doubt not that the faculty and regents of the university will be glad to accept such a gift. and assign it the position suggested. An organization of the class was effected with the following officers. all of Lawrence, Kan.; Frank F. Dinsmoor, president; Abbie E. Noyes. secretary; and O.P. Barber. treasurer. . LOCAL NEWS HELPS Sometimes microfilmed newspapers from the early 1900s can get you past a brick w~. If you know your ancestor (or a sibling) lived in . a small town, try ordering (by interlibrary loan) some films from the relevant state archive or other repository. Then read the "local . news" items about who came and went on visits. After reading through 40 hours worth of such newspapers for my greatgrandmother, I found one small notice that refened to a married sister "of Monmouth, Illinois" coming to visit. Taking that name, I found the sister and her husband listed in the 1900 cenSus. The "Number of Years Married" column suggested the year they had marrieci in the 1880s. Assuming they'd married at Monmouth, I asked the county clerk for their complete marriage record from that approximate year. When it came in the mail, I was pleased to see all the parents' names listed. Two of them. of course, were my own great-great-grandparents! A lot of work. yes, but I think it was worth it. This method worked after half a dozen dead ends did not. James A. Rogers Any information concerning former members of the class. (some of whom were doubtless overlooked) will be most thankfully received by the secretary. SEARCH BY INITIAL It was decided to hold another reunion some time during commencement week of next year. ABBIE E. NOYES. Secretary 4 Remember, in a searchable database, a person's record might be stored only under the first letter of the person's given name, rather than the complete given name. So when searching for John Smith. for example, try anotha" search for J Smith. But be sure not to enter any period after the iDitial. In some searchable databases (for example, the POP~ ~.com IUd RootsWeb.com SSDI databases), a P1lDctuation IIl8Ik will stop the search ensine cold, and it then will show zero hits. On the other hand. it seems that all search ensiJaes ~ fioe if the period after an initial is omitted. ArtKliDger Fort Worth, TX �BOOK REVIEWS.

TRICKS FOR READING TOMBSTONES When trying to read old tombstones at a cemetery, it is very useful to bring a flashlight and a large paper bag. Pull the bag over the stone, stick your head and the flashlight inside, and shine the light sideways on the inscription; you may be able to read an inscription you could not read before. This technique is used to study antique rock carvings and should work equally well on old tombstones. Another way is to do what blind people do--use your fingertips. Very often you can feel the inscription you are not able to read. Ulla Kristoffersen. Oslo, Norway - - ADJUSTING LIGHT AND DARK A stranger sitting next to me at an archive photocopier gave me this tip. If you are attempting to make a photocopy and the microfilm is very light, you are probably inclined to move the copier setting to "darker," thinking this will improve the quality of your copy. The likely result is that the copy is not any better. The trick is to move the copier setting farther down to "lighter," which actually lightens the background of the microfilm and makes the print appear darker. I tried it. It worked marvelously. I recommend it to others. Joseph Martin Romeoville, IL 7 �Your abstract may provide you with information from the past many times overlooked by those researching genealogy.

Other documents commonly noted in Abstracts might be: Marital Affidavit: May be used to tie in a name as being the same person, etc. Barbara Seiwald and Barbara Ann Seiwald. Homestead Affidavit: Used for the purpose of stating a particular residence as being the "Homestead" of the owner, generally used when the homeowner is attempting to sen his property, and has encumbered problems, etc. Federal Tax Liens, unpaid child support, judgments for debts, even Bankruptcy. Partition: This is an action brought to divide property owned by two or more persons, or if the same cannot be divided, to sen the property and divide the proceeds. Death Certificate: Used as proof of death of a landowner, most commonly a ''joint tenant" owner. Marriage Record: Used in the event the landowner has a change of name, for example Barbara A. Seiwald, formerly known as Barbara A Reid, (the name in which title is held). Separate Maintenance: This action, brought where divorce is not desired, but to compel the support of wife and family, involves the disposition of the property owned by the litigants. Quit Title Suit: This action is brought to eliminate or adjudicate an adverse claim against the plaintiff s ownership of a tract ofland. 11 �Rights of Majority: This action is brought by a minor asking the court to confer upon him or her the rights of majority, granting the rights of a person of full age. This allows a minor to convey or mortgage real estate in his own right. Specific Performance: This action is brought to compel compliance with the terms of a contract and often affects land ownership. For example, an owner signs a contract to sell land and then refuses to carry out the terms of the contract; in such case, the purchaser may bring a suit for Specific Performance. Quiet Title Suit: This action is brought to eliminate or adjudicate an adverse claim against the plaintiff's ownership ofa tract of land. Condemnation Proceedings: Suits brought by various governmental bodies or public corporations to take property for public use are suits in Condemnation. . Mechanic's and Materialmen's Liens: Such liens are filed with the Clerk of the District Court in the county where the real estate is located, setting forth the description of the property on which labor was performed or material furnished, together with a statement of the kind of labor or material furnished and the amount due. Divorce Proceeding: This action, brought to sever the relations of matrimony, involves the disposition of property owned by the litigants. Foreclosure: This is an action to foreclose upon a mortgage, contract of sale, lien, and such other instruments which may have been executed to secure the payment of money. Life Estates: An estate for life is one whose duration is limited by the life or lives of certain persons. All of which have an affect on real estate, whether you may be selling the property in question, or refinancing. You may need to read between the lines, nevertheless it all tells a story, and is a part of your genealogy research. 12 �Douglas County Title maintains a "title plant" which in essence is a "mini court house". We are the only company in Douglas County that has 24-hour access to all County records. We now have the convenience of "on line" information, however it does not pre-date 1990. Many of the above narned cases dated prior to 1990 would have an affect on real estate. For example a divorce, which could contain child support over an IS-year period. Another source of information might be the "Atlas of Eudora for the year 1921" "Atlas of Douglas County for the year 1902" We also have several City and Township Ownership maps. We have a complete alphabetical index, (now being entered on the computer), which is a very easy way to search, compared to running the alphabetical index at the Douglas County District Court. We hope to donate these cards to the Historical Society when our data entry is complete. The old courthouse books are in storage, and not readily·available for research. We maintain a complete set of geographical index books, one set predating 1917, beginning with the Government Patent. The only set of books in Douglas County. The courthouse records begin with the year 1917, as the early records were destroyed by Quantrill. LONGITUDE AND LATITUDE When I am lucky enough to find a town of ancestral interest in Ger.many or Russia (where names and boundary lines have changed many times), I note the longitude and latitude for quiC& reference on future maps. Deanna Greenwald Lingle, Wyoming POCKET PLUSSES When I go to a busy archives facility or large library to do research, I often have to lock my purse, notebooks, and most of my papers in a locker. I've found it helpful to wear slacks and a jacket with several pockets so I have a place to keep my pencil, pen (if per.m1tted), loose change for copiers, magnifying glass, tissue, a mint candy, etc. This allows me to keep my hands free for looking through records or filling out request for.ms. At times, I've even found it handy to indicate that my seat is taken by removing my jacket and hanging it over the back of my chair to indicate that someone is sitting there. A pile of books on the table doesn't necessarily do it, because they could have been left by the previous occupant of the space. Him Bryan -----.-- - .. .... _.- .. __ .._-_.. _-----13 �The two following excerpts are from letters that were found in a book in the Osma Room. They are handwritten so any errors are the editors in transcription. Omaha, Nebraska, December 12, 1954 Signed: Sallie . ... The Watkins came first and bought the farm. Then the Yarnolds came and settled across the road. In time they built a school house and I believe on a piece of the Yarnold farm and named it the Yarnold school house. My mother taught there and I have her old school bell. They finally sold out and all moved to town. They lived in the property that we all knew as the Woodard property. It was there they were living at the time of the. Quantrel(sic) Raid. Fay C. Moys. No date. I was born in Lawrence-as were my parents. Grandparents on both sides of the family came here before Quantrill's Raid. My mother's family came from Wales. After resigning from the staff of Watson Library, I joined a summer workshop in painting at the home of Prof RE. Johnson. Later I took several courses in sewing and two terms of millinery which I enjoyed very much. I am a member of Lawrence Art Guild and Writers Work Shop. I have had several poems published. I worked in Spooner Library then in Watson library. Had charge of reserve desk. Started at $33, 8 hours a day.( Monthly I believe: ed.) Later when Flande Flohnson Dahlene left to be married to Ed I was transferred to upst(?) of Sooner , $40.00 per month. When Proffessors found out about how low salaries were, we were advised to see the Chancellor which some of us did. He was surely surprised and gave me an increase of$20.00 per month making it $60.00 per month gradually climbed up to over $100.00. When the depression came salary was cut about $19.00 per month making salary about $88.00 per month. Lois Richardson (cousin) said that her mother, as a little girl lived with Grandma Moys after Lois' father passed away before the baby was born and her mother had to go to work. Her mother started as a clerk, I believe, in Albaugh's store and on her feet behind a store counter was paid $1.00 per day-8am to 6pm, 9-10 on Saturday night. PHOTO PEELING Recently, I was trying to remove old photos from a 1970s glue-on photo album. I was worried that the acid in the glue might react with the photos over time. Trying to pull off the photos resulted in tears, and I didn't want to destroy them. So I decided to use dental floss and slid it between the photos and the page. By going very carefully and slowly, I removed all of the photos with only an occasional small tear at an edge. The pressure of the floss is on the page. I will now be able to scan the photos into my computer and burn a CD-ROM to share with my cousins. Just a note, though: The first time you try it, pick a photo you have another copy of, or one that isn't too sentimental. Gaila Merrington �.. ,., ... Genealogy el,. .~.".

I really enjoyed it and appreciate your courtesy. Here is a check to cover the $1.00 fee you requested. If you meet anyone who would like correspond concerning Parman genealogy, feel free to give them my phone, address and/or e-mail address, as I am currently writing a book on the Parman family during the 18th and 19th centuries. Thanks again, &4(p~ Dave Parman P.S I am the son of Ralph Parman, s/o George Preston Parman, s/o Samuel Parman, s/o William Craig Parman, s/o Alex Parman, s/o Frethias Parman, s/o Giles Parman. My line comes out of Kentucky, from Laurel County, next to Knox County, where the original "Giles" was laid to rest. ON THE VIRUS WATCH With the rapid proliferation of viruses and worms, I have learned to update my virus checks at least once a week; in fact, I usually try to update them twice a week (Wednesday and Sunday.) This not only keeps my virus outlooks reasonably up to date, but it also takes much less time away from my genealogy work and home life! I also do not open any attachments that come from an unknown source or that have been forwarded to me without prior notice. If I am exceedingly curious about what I have been sent, I download the attachment to a floppy, scan the floppy for viruses, and then open it using the oldest machine in the house! Working in the public sector has taught me the damage these things can do, and I would much rather spend extra time checking for viruses than have my computer damaged.

On what I thought was our last trip out to the car, I noticed soiled, crumpled papers and large, manila envelopes piled into the yellow recycle bins on the front porch. The hair on .the back of my neck stood up! Each and every envelope I pulled out was again labeled neatly with a surname. Each crumpled sheet, an old typed family group sheet, each done with care and sources cited. Back inside, I nervously asked the Estate Coordinator how much for the contents of the recycle bins outside? Agitated and frowning, she followed me outside. She did not undestand my question. What bins? What papers? When she saw the yellow "paper trash recycling" bins filled by herself and her workers, she said ''That's garbage! You don't want that garbage.: I assured her I did. She laughed a little too loud, shook her head, looked me up and down, and told me to take that junk, no charge. We both felt eyes burning into our backs as we carried the last bit of "trash" out to our overly filled car. At home, I discovered, Mrs.John Doe had been doing genealogy for at least 55 years. She knew how to cite her sources. She did all her genealogy research without surfing the Net, a computer or a word processor. Her work filled a very large bookcase in my home, plus a 4 drawer filing cabinet. Mrs. John Doe was probably at one time an active member of D.A. R., Mayflower descendants and Colonial Dames. She had taken several research trips to Washington, D. C. and Salt Lake City, UT. She wrote and compiled several small surname books and co-authored many others. She wrote, edited and contributed to at least four county and three surname genealogy newsletters for years. She did DAR. and Mayflower research for others by mail and wrote and received numerous genealogy correspondence. She was a member of a dozen genealogy societies in as many states. Did Mrs. John Doe have living children? I am sure she did. Her scrapbooks were filled with recent Happy Birthday & Mother's Day cards post marked same state. Why were her personal scrapbooks left to strangers? Why were old photos ignored upstairs on the floor? What was thrown away before I got there? The answer to Your Most Burning Genealogy Puzzle? Maybe. Why didn't Mrs. Joh Doe's children make arrangements for her genealogy research to be donated to a genealogy society? Did they think her hobby would have no use to anlyone else? Maybe it was just overlooked. Maybe they just didn't care. Why didn't Mrs. John Doe herself make arrangements for final disposition of all her research notes, original documents, books and collections? This is a true Story. I am telling you this story, so you will have nightmares. So you will think of the inevitable, so you will make plans. Your family could very easily dump years of your research into the garbage can before your first funeral spray is delivered, or before your ashes are cool. If your genealogy hobby, passion, addiction, compulsion has ever been a source of any irritation to any family member, it will be tossed away. I strongly urge you to make provision in your will for disposition of your research right away. Get it on paper. Make it legal. Call your friendly family lawyer. Tell your friends. Call you genealogy or historical society. Your society can help you. They have experience, and experienced persons who can answer all your questions and put your mind at ease. I have made arrangements for disposition of my genealogy research notebooks, reference books, genealogy books, file folders, genealogy software, film reader, film and fiche, and photographs to be donated to my local genealogy society. But I was shy about doing it. Now I am really pleased I did. I have color-coded scrapsbooks, family photo albums and books to be given to certain family members. A copy of the color code is with my will. If my husband and I go first, I am certain my sisters would set my genealogy area on fire. What am I going to do with the research of Mrs. �John Doe? Just in case, her work is already color coded to be given to my local genealogy society. They will eventually get all Mrs. John Doe's work, not already placed with family members or researchers. I will make every effort to find family members who will cherish her scrapbooks, photos and research. I am slowly reading her research packages and making a general index of surnames and locations. In her notes I hope to find The Answer to My Most Burning Genealogy Puzzle. Maybe.

We just had a first-ever family reunion for the descendents of Samuel Agnew Riggs, county attorney in Lawrence. His only child was born two years AFTER the raid, and that child had 7 children. Now there are about 200 descendents, none of whom would be here ifSkagg's gun had not misfired AND if Kate Riggs had not hung onto his horse. Among the descendents are two university presidents, several educators, lawyers, environmentalists, and physicians. Samuel's son Henry Earle Riggs was a railroad builder who spent the last 18 years of his career as head of civil engineering at the U of Michigan. He wrote and published a family history in the 1940s ("Our Pioneer Ancestors"). It contains first-person accounts from Samuel and Kate. I used the former to write the following. I am a university president, and I write a 500-word column for the local paper every week. Usually, it's about the university. But some stories must be told, regardless! I don't know if you have any interest at all, but ... here it is, FYI. I have used the quotation marks loosely - the words there are all his, but I have omitted quite a bit without so indicating. University and Community: History Lesson with a Sharp Point June 20,2001 Ellen-Earle Chaffee, President Mayville State and Valley City State Universities Quantrell's raid against the people of Lawrence, Kansas occurred from about 5:00 to 9:00 in the morning on August 21, 1863. A band of miscreants burned, looted, and murdered 180 people that day. One ofthe targets was county attorney Samuel Agnew Riggs, who had prosecuted Quantrell for horse stealing, robbery, and other crimes. Riggs' personal account of one incident follows, slightly edited. "Skaggs was alone. As he came up to Burt, he demanded Burt's arms. He had none. Then he demanded his money. Burt handed him what I supposed was money which Skaggs stuffed into a pocketbook already overfull, without a further word shot and instantly killed Burt. "Skaggs rode up to me and demanded my arms and my money. I told him I had no arms and gave him a small amount of money. The revolver with which he had killed Burt lay across his lap as we talked. After he had disposed of the money I gave him, he took up the revolver from his lap, and after our conversation, in which he applied to me all the opprobrious epithets his vocabulary afforded, he presented it within a foot of my breast and pulled the trigger. The cap snapped but there was no discharge. He half cocked the revolver and turned the cylinder to a good cap. I seized the barrel and was able to prevent his getting aim. We had a struggle. Ijumped to the rear of his horse, intending to escape through the lots down the street by jumping fences and making any shot he might fire a chance one. "And now came a providential interference in my behalf. My wife in an upstairs room heard Skagg's demands of Burt, ran downstairs and stood behind me and not more than three or four feet from me. I did not know this at the time. As I jumped behind his horse and ran to the east Skaggs said with an oath "Oh I can run you down easy enough" and turned his horse to the north. My wife at once seized the bridle reins and guided the horse directly at right angles to the direction in which I was running. I heard Skaggs cursing and threatening someone and heard the blows of his revolver on the neck of his horse as he was trying to beat her hands from the bridle. Powerless to help her and at her urgent insistence, I ran on and carried out my plan. Skaggs turned in his saddle and fired one shot which missed me. My wife was lof2 6/28/01 10:12 AM �QuantteU dragged over a board and wood pile and around one of the houses before her hold on the bridle reins was broken." Two years later, Samuel and Catharine Doane Earle Riggs had their only child, Henry Earle Riggs. Henry and Emma then had seven children. I am the eldest child of the eldest child of their eldest child, and all three of us are named Ellen Earle. Last week, 138 years after QuantreU's Raid, about one-third of the 200-plus heirs gathered in Virginia for a first-ever family reunion, celebrating the one day ofluck and courage that made our very existence possible.

Photo albums with sticky pages and convenient plastic covers were the invention of one decade that would leave generations picking the comers of gooey-glued pictures from yellowing pages. Birth certificates, wedding licenses and even social security cards were set firmly in place in the pages of magnetic photo albums that are potentially devastating to your descendents recollections of you. There is a way to lift those pictures and papers off without tearing and bending them or your fingernails. Boil a pot or kettle of water. Leaving the plastic sheet protector over the face of the photograph or important document, hold it gently over the steam. The heat and gentle moisture will help lift items from the sticky pages. Avoid getting too much moisture on pictures. The moisture will actually help rehydarte some types of papers. Never let the items sweat with steam. Once they are removed from the album page, cover them gently with blotter paper purchased at an art supply store. Leave the documents pressed for 12 to 24 hours. If you are worried about getting too much moisture on your photographs try removing them with a warm iron. Take off the plastic protective cover and lay the magnetic photo page facedown on a hard, covered surface. Cover it with a white sheet of paper to protect your iron. Set the iron on medium heat. Apply pressure to the page (not too much). As the page warms up, the photos edges will begin to lift. A warm hair dryer will serve the same purpose with a slower result. Photos might curl from the warmth. Press them between two books with a layer of blotter paper on top and bottom to flatten.

LIBRARY OF CONGRESS INTERLmRARY LOANS DELIVERED ONLINE (From Ancestry Daily News, 4 December 2000) A new service is testing the feasibility of using the Internet to fill requests at the Library of Congress. With the service, the Library is now filling interlibrary loan requests for small, fragile items by scanning the material and making the images available over the Internet. Under the new service, which is still in its early stages, the requesting library is alerted that _.33 - �although the item is non-circulating, it will be available at a specific time as a digital image. These images can be viewed and copied from the Library's interlibrary loan Web site and from the online cataloging record. The service is intended to explore the practicality of scanning, storing, and delivering materials as digital images within the time requirements of interlibrary loan clients. In its initial state, the service will scan titles that are: In the public domain Non-circulating because of physical condition or age Able to be captured in a relatively small digital file, and the Have a cataloging record on the Web in which to place a link. The motto of the service is "Copy Once, Access Always." Items scanned so far include eyewitness accounts from the Civil War, a small volume of African American dialect poems and photographs and a farcical account of a marriage ceremony at a racetrack. They and other examples of items req.uested by interlibrary loan clients can be seen online. In the past, small items that were too fragile to circulate on interlibrary loan had to be photocopied. If the item was requested again, the same procedure had to be repeated. By scanning this material and linking the images to the cataloging record, the Library responds to the initial interlibrary loan request, helps conserve the original item by eliminating the need for further photocopying, and makes the digital copy widely accessible. In preparation for digital delivery, each item is reviewed and treated by conservation staff as necessary, thtm scanned and archived as a 300 dpi TIFF image by stafffrom the Library's Information Technology Services. The archived images are then converted to PDF format and stored as single-item files on a publicly accessible server. PDF was chosen as a the format because of its ease of access and the ability to download and print the entire work as a file. A link to the PDF file is also added to the catalog record on the Web, substituting mouse click for a loan request in the future and increasing the accessibility of the Library's collections to remote users everywhere. The new service began in earnest in mid-October with the delivery ofa Revolutionary War broadside, a 19th-century pamphlet on the Hawaiian reciprocity treaty, and an item on freemasonry-all with deadlines. As it matures the service's administrators will evaluate the acceptability of digital images in lieu of photocopies and explore how to integrte a digital scanning operation into routine document delivery services. Small items in the public domain currently make up less than 1 percent of items requested from the Library of Congress, or approximately 350 items per year at the current level of use. However, the service has already proved popular as a alternative to photocopying for rare material and may actually increase the number of items "circulated" from previously off-limits collections. - a1- �KANSAS UNIVERSITY POSTS MAPS ONLINE (Capper's 4 September 2001) Old maps of Kansas have been put online by Wichita State university. School officials say they believe the collection of more than 325 historic maps is among the largest online. The maps date from 1556 to 1900 and show the changing boundaries of Kansas and the routes of explorers, railroads, roads and trails. They also show the clash of cultures, topographic details and the decorative borders and elaborate touches typical of early day mapmakers. ''You can find more information from a historical map than just locations and places," said Vrrgil Dean, historian at the Kansas State Historical Society in Topeka.With a click ofa computer mouse, a researcher can see a 17th century map with international boundaries set by Spain and . France. Another click, and the viewer can travel to the 19th century and see Indian Territory divided into reservation, or zoom in on rivers and streams, county seats and roadways. The first map to show Kansas land was published by a Spanish mapmaker in 1536. It indicates places named by conquistador Francisco Vasquez de Coronado in his search for the Seven Cities ofCibola. 'Maps of New France," from 1711, includes topographic features, French forts and American Indian villages. Still another, from 1814, depicts a land with a river called ''Kansas.'' There are more showing the borders of Kansas outlined with railroads and roads, counties and streams. One printed in German was used by Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad agents to recruit immigrants for settlement along railroad land. And there are maps showing the final establishment of Kansas counties, in the 1890's. The majority of maps are part of the Robert W. Baughman Map Collection at the Wichita State University Department of Special Collections. In 1961, Baughman published many of those maps in his book KansaS in Maps. The University acquired the collection in 1962. The Internet address is: http://special collections.wichita.edulcollectionslmapsfmdex.asp or if you forget that just go to Wichita State University,Libraries,Special Collections,Digitized Map Collection.

Pearl McDonald �CHECK NURSING HOMES When you are on a research trip, don't forget to check with local nursing homes. On a recent trip, I visited a nursing home in the town where my great-grandfather lived for a time. I asked at the desk if any residents would be interested in speaking to me about the local area and the family I was researching. I did not expect the phenomenal reception I received from several residents with many stories and plenty of time to tell them to an interested person. I was given not only information, but also several new leads on my great-grandfather's history, and I had a wonderful afternoon full oflaughs and memories shared with others. Karma Y oakem AN INSURANCE POLICY FIND I have been researching the parents and siblings of my father-in-law, Gottlieb Beilinsohn, who was the only member of his family, to the best of our knowledge, to emigrate from Russia. Since he had never shared any information with the family, I was not having much success. Then, among a box of business papers, I found an old insurance policy from early in the last century. It required him to list the number of siblings and parents he had, as well as each one's gender, health history, year of death (if deceased), and age (as of the year of the policy). Although I still do not have names or years of birth, thanks to this policy, I now have a start. Joan Balinson PAGINATION NOTES When saving family records, it is wise to make a notation at the bottom of the page listing all the surnames (or in case of only one name, first names) found in the record. This saves you time you would otherwise spend in re-reading the material to find a name you remember having seen somewhere. If there is more than one page, I also immediately number the pages as "1 of [total number of pages]" and make a notation of the reference and date I located it. The name of the person or place where the reference was obtained is also important. On each page, I also note the title of the article, in case some of the pages get misplaced or separated from the rest. Diane Brown. WASTED RESEARCH TIME Keep a record of EVERYWHERE you search--the place and the record source, even if you don't find anything about your ancestors in the resource. (This applies to indexes, printed genealogies, original records, etc.) Why? Valuable time is wasted in repeating or retracing your steps. Also, when you want to double-check previous findings or weren't quite finished with researching, you know exactly where to start the research on your next visit. Make sure you always record the name of the library, town, courthouse, museum, etc., as well as the document source. Nothing is worse than having a source and not remembering where you found it. Earlene Scott �MARK YOUR RECORDS I recently worked on a genealogy in southwest Iowa for some people on the West Coast. The lady brought an elderly aunt a long distance to research their ancestors. They had been to the county courthouse, the library, and the cemetery. Time was short, so they dined at a local restaurant and headed back to the West coast. When several hundred miles along the journey home, they discovered that their genealogical records were missing! They called the places they had been without any luck. The courthouse suggested they call me. I also retraced their stops, but the records were nowhere to be found. I then volunteered to find the records they wanted so much. After this experience, I highly recommend that you mark every notebook, brief case, or other record carrier with your name, address, and phone number, and with the note to call you collect should someone find it. I have added my e-mail address also. These records are valuable to you, but they may end up in a trash can miles from home if you're not careful. If you are contacted about a lost notebook, make arrangements to reimburse the person who has so graciously contacted you. I, too, have learned the hard way, but I was fortunate to get a phone call and soon had my records back. Kathleen Kelley �JUDYm . GIDEON GRUBB �DOUGLAS COUNTY, KANSAS GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY, IN~.

This widow had a grown-up daughter who had hair of red. My father fell in love with her, and soon the two were wed. This made my dad my son-in-law and changed my very life. My daughter was my mother, for she was my father's wife. To complicate the matters worse, although it brought me joy, I soon became the father of a bouncing baby boy. My little baby then became a brother-in-law to dad. And so became my uncle, though it made me very sad. For ifhe was my uncle, then that also made him brother To the widow's grown-up daughter who, of course, was my stepmother. Father's wife then had a son, who kept them on the run. And he became my grandson, for he was my daughter's son. My wife is now my mother's mother and it makes me blue. Because, although she is my wife, she is my grandma too. If my wife is my grandmother, then I am her grandchild. And every time I think of it, it simply drives me wild. For now I have become the strangest case you ever saw. As the husband of my grandmother, I am my own grandpa. [One respondent indicated that the above is from a Guy Lombardo record, with Kenny Gardner doing the vocal.] * '" * A modem mother was explaining to her little girl about pictures in the family photo album. The mother said "This is the geneticist with your surrogate mother and here's your sperm donor and your father's clone. This is me holding you when you were just a frozen embryo." "Who is that?" asked the daughter. "Oh," answered the mother, "the lady with the very troubled look on her face is your aunt. She's the family genealogist!" -Don Vaughn *** 4 �1880 Census on CD-ROM Recently the Society bought for my use as Genealogist the 1880 census on CD-ROM for the whole country. Since it belongs to the Society, I want to offer, through The Pioneer, to do lookups that members request for anywhere in the country at no charge. The request should include as much information as available such as location by state or region of the country, and names, ages (approximate is OK) and birth places (state or country). My address is 2820 Missouri St., Lawrence 66046, phone 785/842-4388, and e-mail jordpc@brownchair.net. -Paul Jordan 1930 Census As of this past April Fool's Day, the 1930 census has been available to the public, 72 years after its collection, according to the law. The nearest place for us is the National Archives-Central Plains Region branch, 2312 E. Bannister Rd., Kansas City. This is open 7:30-4 Monday-Friday, with extended hours to 9 on Weqnesday. It's also open the third Saturday of the month, 9-4. Does anyone wish to write up their experience visiting this archive, and the procedure of looking up someone on the census 72 years ago? From the editor pro tem Mary Burchill, who regularly has been putting this publication to bed, recently moved nearby to a new address (1329 Kasold, Gl, Lawrence KS 66049-3426-but has the same phone and eaddress). She asked me to complete this issue, due to the move and since she and Brower left in early April for an extended stay in New Mexico. In attempt to insure that my editorship remain temporary, I took the opportunity to include a lot of space to the Bunker family. There are several documents concerning the Douglas County archives-but from different sources and separated by as much as 25 years. I do not understand any of this, but simply provide them all without comment. -J. Bunker Clark 5 �Autobiographical Reflections David Bunker (b. Cardington, Ohio, 1830; d. Lawrence, Kansas, 1905) I am rapidly attaining the period of my life that is commonly known as the scriptural limit of man's age. See Psalms. It has therefore occurred to me that a few reflections concerning the past years of my life, committed to paper, might possibly, to some extent, interest some of my descendants. Not that my life has been an eventful one, but, on the contrary, compared with many a man's life, it has been quite uneventful, and very monotonous as far as any thing of a public nature is concerned. I know little of my ancestors farther back than my grandfather, whose name was Isaac Bunker. He was born and. raised in New England, I think on the island of Nantucket in Mass. From this fact I form a pretty strong conjecture that it might nave been some of his near kin that gave his name to the illustrious "Bunker's Hill" of Revolutionary fame. But I never heard. the fact mentioned or hinted at by the family, perhaps because they were Quakers and the instincts of their peculiar sect precluded any idea of honor being attached to such a circumstance. However that may be, I have derived no little satisfaction from believing that such is a fact. Another reason for believing that this is true, in 1855 to 80, I was acquainted with a family of Bunkers in Illinois who came from the state of Maine, and. who claimed to have a clear genealogical record from the advent of "two brothers" from the old country (England). They landed in Boston in a very early day, and remaining in that vicinity, and the other wandering up into north east "back woods" of what eventually became the state of Maine. They were from that stock while I was evidently from the Mass. branch. Thus as I before intimated my knowledge of my ancestry beyond my grandfather is wholly conjectural. On my mother's side I am equally at a loss. She [Matilda Wood Bunker, 1808-70] was the daughter of Israel Wood [correction: Israel, 1797-1874, was her brother; her father was Jonathan Wood, 1760-1838]. I have heard her say that in her girlhood she lived within sight of the Catskill mountains in N. Y. I think her mother was a White as she had cousins who were natives of Soda [Saratoga] Springs, N.Y. My father [Slocum Hussey Bunker, 1805-73] was the oldest of 12 children, and my mother the youngest of 12. As to my various uncles, aunts & cousins I may have something to say later on. I was born in the town, or village, of Cardington, Morrow Co., Ohio, March 7th, 1830. It was some time after that before I began to realize that I existed. Indeed nothing impressed itself on my memory till 3 or 4 years afterward. The fust incident I recollect is that coming into the room where my mother was at work, my baby sister [Alice; see below] was sitting alone in the middle of the floor, and it seems it was her first attempt and being a success I thought it was a wonderful thing. After that follows recollection of mumps, measles, chicken pox, whooping cough, croup and all the other ills childhood is heir to. There is also a clear vision of my mind of a steam saw-mill, a venture of my father's, the frights the children would have every time the steam was blown off, having heard stories of explosions and considering every unusual sound as ominous and after a while, being encouraged by the kind hearted workmen, I became used to it and had many a ride on the carriage that carried the log to the saw and back again to be reset for another board. 6 �I didn't know it then, but in after years I learned that the steam saw mill venture was a failure, and casting around. for something to recoup his lost fortune he struck out for the then territory of Michigan. Everybody seemed to be aIDicted more or less with the "Michigan fever." Father's attack was hard enough to take him there. I remember the family going to grandfather Bunker's [Isaac Bunker, 1780-1841] to live for a time, and how my uncles, half grown boys and young men then would carry me on their shoulders and sing to me little ditties of their own composing, about Michigan, the wolves & the Indians. This was in early spring just in sugar making time and I still retain visions of the old maple sugar camp and the "sugaring off' at the house. How long we staid at grandfathers I cannot now tell. It couldn't have been long, but during the time a little incident occurred that created quite a little excitement in the household & neighborhood for a few hours. My elder sister Jane [1827-93; later, Mrs. William Chauncey Hicks] and our Aunt Hannah (about Jane's age) [1829-67; later, Mrs. Miller] started from the sugar camp one afternoon to go home, & in attempting to find a shorter route than the old beaten road lost their way, and when the men came home at dark, and the girls not being with them, and reporting the time they left camp, and after search at the nearest neighbors failing to bring any tidings of them, there could be no other conclusion than that they were "lost in the woods." The neighborhood was aroused and the woods were scoured with men bearing lanterns and torches, and a little after midnight-they were found, and, amid the firing of guns shouting and other demonstrations of rejoicing, they were brought home safe & sound. I was in bed and asleep before it was known that they were lost, consequently knew nothing of it till the next day, and having heard the story told and dwelt upon so many times it came to seem to me as real as if! had been one of the actors in the scenes. During the months that elapsed after my father had determined to migrate there was a great deal of visiting back and forth. Sometimes we children were taken along and sometimes we were left at home. Horse back riding was more common those days than latterly. It was nothing thought of for a woman to mount a horse & ride across country 5 or 6 miles & back to make a visit to some friend or relative. I distinctly recall one such an occasion when my mother took me behind her on a trusty old sorrel mare that we called old "Fox," and after closing the visit and a mile or two on the return trip a sudden spring shower overtook us and mother put the mare to her best speed to get to where we could find shelter, and how many expressions of wonderment from those to whom mother related the incident that such a little chap as I could stick on to ride so fast, until I came to think I was quite a hero, yet I thought nothing of it at the time. At what juncture we moved to Mt. Gilead I have no knowledge but I remember living, there for a time. I remember attending school there in an octagon school house. I remember very well it was red, but whether it was brick or wood painted red I have no recollection. Red was a popular color for school houses those days as well as later when "the little red school house" became a fruitful theme for stump orators. We lived in a building that was intended for a store. Whether just completed, or had been used and abandoned, I cannot tell. The owners whose name occurs to me was Roy, lived in another part of the building. There was an antislavery lecturer in town at the time and I can remember about the excitement: the rotten egging & the like. If stale eggs couldn't be obtained the hoodlums would take egg shells and fill them with tar and use them as missiles to throw at the lecturer. I remember one day my attention being called to the strong odor of tar on a cloak of Mrs. Roy's that she had worn the evening before to the lecture when one of those missiles had missed its mark and had hit her. It seems strange at this day to think of men being mobbed for advocating the cause of humanity, and, too, in a community where there were no slaves and no prospect of their existence there, and also 7 �where a large proportion of the inhabitants were from principle and religious training and instincts opposed to the institution of slavery, but it has been so in all ages, when the devil is hurt in a tender spot he incites men to deeds of violence and God overrules this "wrath of man" to His own praise and glory. Another incident during our sojourn in Mt. Gilead that made an indelible impression on my mind, and as much as any thing led me in after years to take a determined stand against the evils of intemperance. It was probably during the time of spring rains for the roads were impassible for wagons, and any intercourse or marketing had to be done on horse back. The soil was a yellow sticky clay. I was standing late one afternoon by the window, looking out upon the street. A single saddled horse came slowly by in company with 3 or 4 men all bespattered with mud. The one in the saddle seemed to have great difficulty in sitting upright, the others were endeavoring to sustain him, but in spite of their efforts he would fall off in the mud. I watched them for a long time for their progress was very slow. I thought something dreadful must be the matter with the man, and my sympathy was at its height as well as my curiosity. On inquiry I learned that the man was drunk from drinking too much whiskey. In reply to my childish questions I \Vas told of the effects of all alcoholic drinks, and the insidiousness of the drink habit, and the misery it entailed &c. From that time the vision of this drunken man wallowing in the mud, and his friends patiently trying to ge(him home always came to my mind at sight of an intoxicated man or even the mention of whiskey, and why men should drink stuff that would put them in such a condition was a puzzle to my young brain: and even now in myoid age it seems inconceivable, among other theory, than the work of Satan like that of slavery. But the time had come for as to take our leave of friends & old associations. (I have a rough manuscript of our two weeks journey & settlement in Hastings, Barry Co., Mich., so will not here rewrite it but pass over a period of about seven & one-half years.) In the fall of 1843 my father obtained what he considered remunerative employment in Battle Creek & removed there. The period of our residence there ran uneventful except the school facilities which I enjoyed but did not improve very profitably. In the late autumn of 1845 the M.C.R.R. [Michigan Central Rail Road?] was completed to B.c. and it was then that I saw for the first time a locomotive and cars, & in an excursion to Marshall one evening took my first ride on a rail road. It was then immense, but compared to rail road riding that I have done since, it was very slow. April 1st, 46, we moved to Bellevue, a small village some 13 miles to the north east of B.C. where my father took an old tumble-down grist mill to run. It was in the midst of a fme farming community, and had the mill been worth any thing he might have made money. As it was it took all he made, or more, to keep the old thing in shape to do any thing at all. It was while living here that I began to attain the age that I called myself a ''young man," and go out in to company some, but financial straits precluded my becoming much of a society man. I attended school at Olivet (the then embryo Olivet College [founded 1844]) for a couple of years, & there "finished' my education which was poor at the best. The year that I attained my "majority" was full of events that had to do with shaping my after life. Up to this time my father had designed that I should follow the milling business for my life work. He had abandoned the mill at Bellevue the year before and was casting about for something else to do, and, in the mean time, had secured a position for me in a new'mill that was in the course of construction, to help fit up and start, and then work in it as a miller. It was there that I got my final distaste for the trade, & it took such a hold upon me that my father ceased on insist upon my following it. 8 �The cause of my distaste was something this way. 1st, my work clothes were always so full of mill-dust that I couldn't go on the street or into a store without being in danger of leaving my card on some body's clothes, which annoyed me extremely, being of a very sensitive nature. 2nd, after the mill was in operation, it was necessary to do a great deal of carpenter work inside in the way of bins &c. and a gang of men, mostly young men, were brought in to do the work~ they would work their ten hours, pull off their overalls and with a little brushing were decent to go any where, except perhaps, to a swell society event: whereas, if I wanted to go to a friend's house for an evening's chat I would have to change my clothes, and even then be on a nettle all the time for fear that some streaks of dust were overlooked. 3rd, a flouring mill to run successfully must run night and day, and a miller to expected to work 112 the night and 112 the day. The most profitable season of the year for a mill is in the winter, or it was at that time, and the winter is the season when most entertainment that a young man would like to attend, occur. Working nights a man would not feel like attending an evening entertainment and thereby loosing his sleep. He might do it for a while but it would soon wear him out. These, with a natural dislike for the trade of a miller and an inclination for some mechanical pursuit were the considerations which prompted me to abandon the idea of being a miller. I was now 21 years of age and went home, not knowing what turn to take next, but the first opening was in a saw mill. I worked in partnership with a man by the name of Mason till middle of summer, when the whole property, both grist mill and saw mill, changed hands and the new owner put a new gang of men into the saw mill to saw out lumber & timber for a new grist milL After jobbing about town for a time at any thing I could get to do, and occasionally attending to some official duties (for I was elected constable that spring) I finally secured work on the framing ofthe new grist mill, and worked on it till its completion in the winter, and by that time I began to think I was quite a finished mechanic. It was during this summer that a light fell across my path that has lightened my life ever since. One day while at my work a little figure tripped lightly across the common a few rods away from me, & the thought came to me as a flash, "that is to be my wife." She was a stranger in town, just visiting friends during school vacation. I had not spoken to her yet, or even seen her face, yet I knew from rumor who she was. But how should I go to work to Win her? I hadn't the least idea. Naturally timid in the presence ofIadies, young ladies especially, it seemed to me a hopeless task. Providence favored me. My sisters made her acquaintance and she became a frequent caller & visitor at our house. My affection for her grew space until I could stand it not long & I had to let her into my secret. The result was our marriage three years later. But I must not anticipate. The mill having been completed, my father saw that I was bound to be a mechanic and still clinging to his old hobby of keeping me at home, he moved to Olivet but 6 miles from Bellevue with the intention of starting a wagon shop. Arriving there, no seasoned timber could be found, out of which to construct wagons, so we jobbed around for a year waiting for timber to season. During the summer my father took an idea that it would be a good thing for me to go to Chicago & see what I could do there. So about the middle of August I packed up & went to Chicago. I stayed there for about 2 months when hearing from home that my father had had a very severe attack of inflammation or congestion of the bowels & work assuming a rather of a winter aspect I returned home disgusted with a city life & city work. I managed to keep busy in a way during the winter & the next spring father moved to Marshall & went into a house where we boarded railroad trainmen. I found work on the R.R. & in June of that year was sent to Mich. City [Indiana] to work but changes occurring in the management there that appeared to me unsatisfactory, I returned to 9 �Marshall & reentered the old shop there. The next summer I was married & toward the latter part left the RR service with the intention of coming west but a favorable offer having been made me to go to Olivet to help on the grist mill there, I concluded to go there before coming west, but instead of only two or three weeks it was two or three months before we got through with the work. It was the last day of Oct. before we started out for Ill[inoi]s. We stopped over night in Chicago & the next day we went on to Bloomington where my sister Rachel & her husband Charley Dean were. I staid there only 2 or 3 days & left my wife & came north to La Salle & Mendota. I had intended when leaving Marshall to go to Amboy where they were erecting buildings for shops but at Mendota I found that there were eight miles ofRR iron yet to be laid & concluded to remain at Mendota: and, the strangest thing about it all is, I have never yet been to Amboy although I have passed through it several times on the cars, I never stopped there, & never worked on a RR again. But I had what I called a pretty good offer of work in Mendota & staid there. Our first child was born on the 17th of March a fact of which I was justly proud. It was a boy. The next child was also a boy born 2 years later on the 11th of September. He only lived to be only 2 yrs & 4 months old when he succumbed to dyptheria when it was first making its appearance throughout the country. Our first girl was only about 4 weeks old when he died. The next great event in my career was when I enlisted in the army in 1862. The 20th of Sept. '63 I was wounded quite early in the day at the battle of Chickamauga, retired to a hospl. in Louisville, Ky, & was out of the trials, starvations & hardships of the winter in Chat[t]anooga, returning to my regt. in the spring & May 14 was again wounded on the tenth anniversary of my marriage. This wound nearly laid me out but I recovered from it in about a year so that I have put in many a hard day's work since. The war ended & in June 63 I was mustered out of service. And now back to myoId place in the shop till the next spring when I started a shop on my own account, but it was unfortunate. Every thing bad gone up to war-time prices & now they were falling back to normal so that by the time I had a wagon ready for market the price of wagons had so declined I had to sell it for less than it cost, consequently I could stand such a strain but a very limited time. Notes on David Bunker by J. Bunker Clark David married Susan Jane Spencer, 14 May 1854, in Marshall, Michigan. According to information in the Beulah RickettslKathryn Bunton scrapbooks in the Osma Room, Lawrence Public Library, vol. 1, p. 113, "Susan Jane Spencer, daughter of William and Jane Crosby Spencer. Jane Crosby was the daughter of Lord and Lady Crosby, of Sheffield, England, who on her marriage to William Spencer, a commoner, was disowned. They came to America and settled at Monroe, Michigan, where all their children were born." According to Alice Bunker Ross (pp. 236-42), her mother Susan must have gone to boarding school, then became governess for the family of the Governor of Michigan. At school she met Rachel Bunker, who invited her to visit during the Christmas holidays when she met Rachel's brother David, who she afterwards married. David's mother Matilda Wood Bunker was of a very well-to-do and aristocratic family. Gen. Leonard Wood [for whom Ft. Leonard Wood in Missouri is named] and Col. Sam Wood [well known in Kansas in the 19th century] were cousins. When Susan was 23, and being the governess, she thep. didn't see David for a year or two when he was in college, but then received a letter from him proposing marriage. 10 �The "Autobiographical Reflections" was obviously written after David Bunker's return from the Civil War. Later, in 1891, he was invited to be Instructor in Wagon-Making at Haskell Institute. He made a "tally-ho" in 1895, the story of which was reputed to have appeared in newspapers nationally. She died 4 April 1900, he died 1 October 1905-both in Lawrence. David Bunker's father Slocum Hussey Bunker founded the town of Hastings, in southwestern Michigan, commemorated by a stone marker established by the Daughters of the American Revolution on 12 June 1912. David's sister Dr. Alice Bunker Stockham, according to the Hastings Banner the next day, said in part "Slocum H. Bunker, my father with his brother Thomas S[mith] Bunker, were the ftrst white settlers in Hastings, Mich. In 1836 they build [sic] the ftrst cabin-a living room and two bedrooms, they built a saw mill, established a trading post, a postoffice, a tavern and opened the ftrst school." Alice B. Stockham, one of the ftrst woman M.D.s in the country, became quite well known for her books on women's health and related subjects, notably Karezza and Tokology, which she published herself Indeed, my grandmother Edith Belle Dean (later, Mrs. Thomas Carlyle Clark) lived with her aunt Alice in Chicago for a time in the 1890s, and helped with the publishing activities. David and Susan's son Charles Dean Bunker followed his parents to Lawrence, and about 1895 accepted a position with the KU Natural History Museum, eventually gaining the title of curator. "C. D." was important in establishing KU as a place known for the training ofmammalogists and ornithologists. He was involved in establishing an improved system of cataloging birds and mammals. After his death in 1948 his ashes were scattered from the top of the museum. KU Professor E. Raymond Hall published an II-page booklet on him in 1951. Children of David and Susan Jane Spencer Bunker: Louis Arthur Bunker (1855-1921), who eventually settled in Hutchinson, Kansas. In 1902 he donated the land on which the Carnegie Public Library was built (the building still stands, although no longer a library), and made a bequest of $10,000 for books, the income of which continues to be used. William Spencer Bunker (1857-60) Caroline Elizabeth Bunker (1859-1927), who married Jacob Keilman. Their granddaughter Kathryn Jeanette Bunton (b. 1912), native of Lawrence and a retired nurse, now lives in Brandon Woods. Slocum Henry Bunker (1862-85) Julia Olive Bunker (1866-1952), who married Fred W. Webber. Their granddaughter Jennifer Webber is a resident of Marietta, Georgia. Alice Bunker (1868-1952), who married Frank M. Ross. Charles Dean Bunker (1870-1948), who married Clara Parnell. Their grandson Charles Harry ("Chuck") Warner is president of USBank in Lawrence. ADDENDUM The following is a letter from David Bunker to Susan Jane Spencer, written before they were married. It was published in the Bunkf!r Banner, November 2001, as submitted by Jennifer Webber, granddaughter of Julia Bunker and Fred Webber. She obtained the text of the letter from Patricia Meyer, of Woodbridge, California (whose mother's father, Robert O. Brown, was 11 �brother to Ella, who married David's son Louis A. Bunker-but one needs a chart to understand all this). (As the P.O. has not got any stamps on hand I will enclose a three-cent piece.) Olivet, February 14, 1853 Respected Friend Susan - It has been a long, long time since I heard a word from you in any form. Indeed I knew not that you were yet in the "land ofthe living~" but last week I casually heard that you were still living in Ann Arbor, I thought that I would write to you, to see if peradventure I could find out the cause of this silence. The cause I apprehend is this - when I last wrote to you I was contemplating taking my leave of Olivet for a season, and if I recollect right, I intimated that I should make Homer my first stopping place. But after the letter was mailed, and two days before starting, I changed my mind and went to Chicago. Now I think that if you answered my letter at all, that you directed it to Homer (is that the case?) when I expected that you would direct it to this place, and my friends here would forward it to wherever I should happen to be. And so little did I suspect that to be the case, that I did not even mistrust anything of the kind, until it would have been too late to have got it from there, as it would have been sent to the "dead letter office." As I remarked, I went to Chicago~ I stayed two months and sawall the elephants, and returned home well satisfied to stay in Olivet, a while longer at least. Although I was there through the cholera season, yet I enjoyed remarkable good health all the time, as I have since my return. I do not know of you having any correspondence from this place at this time, therefore I will try and give you a kind of general idea of what has been, and is now going on in this place. The health of the inhabitants was remarkably good until within two or three months. Since then there has been several cases of the typhoid fever. Quite a number of the students have been attacked with it, and at one time it threatened the dissolution of the school for the time being; but the ravages of the disease abated finally, and all goes on as smooth as ever. Professor Bartlett has had an attack of the fever, which came very near carrying him off; but he has recovered, and resumed his labors. George Bartlett fell a victirri to the disease, which was a heavy stroke for the family. Also one of the students, perhaps you may have seen him, as he has been here before, by the name of David H. Clark, from Union City. He was a very promising youth, and had fair to occupy a prominent position in society in time. Also Miss Teresa A. Stone died of the same disease. Father has been unable to do any thing since the first of Oct. - He was taken in the first place with the typhoid fever, from which he was unable to work for about three months, and when he got so that he could begin to work a little, he was taken with an erysipelas swelling under his arm, which gathered and broke several times, and has confined him to the house for eight weeks now, although he begins to travel out around some, yet it will be some time before he will be able to do work again. The school commenced under favorable auspices last fall, and has continued to prosper so far. More, I believe, than the usual number of teachers went out from here last fall , and all , as 12 �far as I can learn, succeed well, and gain for themselves a good reputation, thereby enhancing the reputation of the school. The societies connected with the institution keep up their meetings with their usual interest. But as a general thing this winter, the ladies have carried off the palm. And well could they afford to, for they have had twice the amount of talent in their society that the gentlemen have. The gentlemen have only about half the amount of good writers and speakers, that they had last winter, and the ladies have about the same that they had then. If had had time I would give you a little description of some of the public meetings, but I have not, and so will leave it for your imagination to describe. We have a new hotel in operation this winter, in which there have been held some balls, and a prospect of some more. Some of the students deigned to attend, which raised the Profs' dander, and they have threatened expulsion to every one who attends the next dance, which has created the most excitement that we have had yet in that respect. The ''Niles boys" [presumably from Niles, Mich.] are the principle ones concerned in the matter. Sister Alice [Alice Bunker, 1833-1912, later M.D. and Mrs. Gabriel Henry Stockham, M.D.-see above] is in Ohio, teaching. She will return home by the opening of navigation. Rachel [1836-89, later Mrs. Charles Dean, my great-great grandparents -jbc] is teaching school about four miles north of here, and gets along finely. She gets $2.00 per week. Julia [1838-53] is attending the Institution. Ofthe other two little girls, Sylvia [1844-58] attends district school where there is one in operation. Mary's [1842-77, later Mrs. George E. Wills] health is not sufficiently good to allow of attending school. Our district school closed very suddenly a week or two since. L. O. Smith was teaching, and he got it into his head to go to California, and wished to start immediately, therefore he closed his school unceremoniously. Miss Jane Prior (do you know her? she is an old student and has taught the district school here once) is talked of pretty strongly for the one who is to teach the remainder of the term, and go on with the summer school. At this point I rested a while, and in the mean time I learned that Miss Prior commences her school tomorrow. Do you recall eating Buckwheat cakes at our house? How I wish that you were here to enjoy the treat with me now. But stop! I forgot-we have just eaten the last of our flour, and I do not know where there is any more to be had. But I intend to have some maple molasses by and by, when sugar making time comes, and that will be part of our treat. Do you have any sleighing our your way? We have not had any here that could be called sleighing, although the people have dragged around on what little snow there was, just for the name of it. Now Susan if it is your wish to continue our correspondence, I would like to have you manifest it by answering this as soon as you can make it convenient~ and tell me all about how you have enjoyed yourself, what you have busied yourself about for the last six months, and what you are doing now, etc. Respectfully Yours From your ever well wishing friend, David Bunker 13 �Series Description to the Douglas County, Kansas, Court Records Craig S. Crosswhite Kansas Collection, Kenneth Spencer Research Library, University of Kansas 15 December 1978 This project was performed in conjunction with history course 801, Archival Management, under Dr. Don McCoy, at the University of Kansas in the 1978 fall term. Half the time spent on this project involved carting large volumes into different rooms, as major analysis and rearrangement was necessary to identify volumes by type and series location before any description and inventory could be attempted. With this basic inventory and volume organization done, the many volumes that must be missing may be located, identified, and recovered. This the hope of the author. INTRODUCTION Court records are often the most accurate diaries of country growth and change. To understand and interpret their content, however, the researcher must be familiar with the county of their inception. With the signing of the Kansas-Nebraska Act by President Franklin Pierce on 30 May 1854, settlers immediately began pouring into the territory where they formed pockets of resistance either for or against slavery. One such group opposing slavery was rushed to the present site of Lawrence by the Emigrant Aid Company of Massachusetts. On 30 July 1854, barely two months after the bill's passage, this first group landed by steamboat on the shores of the Kansas River, naming their new town after the chief financial backer of the company, Amos A. Lawrence. By the time of the assembly of the first territorial legislature near Fort Riley in July of 1855, enough settlers had arrived in this area to allow for county chartering. Named in honor of Senator Stephen A. Douglas of lllinois, the county was among the first dozen to be created. Lecompton, the westernmost township of Douglas County, was designated the county seat because of the relocation of the legislature there and because of its pros lavery sympathies. Eventually the territorial capital was moved again. This time, with the increase of population in and about Lawrence, the county seat was moved there by legislative enactment in January of 1858. One of the first actions of every territory in the Union was to provide, through statutes a framework by which county property, government, and court records should be created and maintained. These records were usually large bound volumes labeled as mortgages, deeds, wills, commissioner books, tax rolls, court journals, judicial dockets, appearance dockets, and so forth. This series description treats the latter records created primarily by the district court ofOouglas County sitting in Lawrence. Within the first law, The Statutes of the Territory ofKansas, J855, chapter 93, article 3, sec. 3, provides that every elected judge holding office in the district court shall keep a docket listing all civil and criminal cases that he tries, along with all orders and executions that he makes. In chapter 90, sec. 25-30, an appointed court clerk is to enter all court judgements in a docket book to be filed with the district court and used as a public record. These early district court records were probably first kept at Lecompton, and then at Lawrence. On 21 August 1863 Captain William Clark Quantrill and his partisan forces struck Lawrence as part of the continued border warfare of the Civil War. In this raid, the entire business district was set afire. Among the losses in life and property were the majority of county 14 �court records. A few earlier records did survive, but only those dealing with property. A more complete account of the early county and court history, including a listing of county and court officials, is contained in A. T. Andreas's History o/the State o/Kansas (Chicago, 1883; reprint, Atchison: Atchison County Historical Society, 1976), pages 310-12. Kansas was admitted to the Union in 1861, but it was not until after the Civil War that its laws were fully codified to include a more detailed description of how county and district court records were to be maintained. In Douglas County, early property and government record books tend to be consistent in form of entry and style of writing. The court and judicial dockets, however, change and evolve in form and style from 1865 to the middle 1880. The variety in docket style reflects as much the individual skill and demands of the justice of the peace as it does the continued growth of the county and the demand in time for more detailed records. In the Compiled Laws o/Kansas, 1868, chapter 80, article 34, sec. 703-707, the court clerk is required to keep up-to-date several record books--criminal and civil appearance dockets, criminal and civil trial dockets, court journals, judgment books, execution dockets, and any other records that his particular court should feel necessary. The earliest Douglas County records show a certain amount of confusion, especially in the criminal trial and appearance dockets. In chapter 81, article 15, sec. 188-193 of the same statutes, the two elected justices of the peace were required to keep a docket book, within which each case tried was to have a full transcript recorded personally. Upon completion of his term, the judge turned his book over to his successor, who continued the case recordings on the following pages. Since two justices held court in tandem, these books often overlap as to thc chronology of the cases tried. As the researcher might suspect, the judicial dockets have the greatest variety of style, legibility, and detailed information, as suited the particular judge's whim or fancy. Upon completion of any bound volume, the court clerk or the judge filed the book with the district court where it was kept as a public record and reference tool. The duties of the court clerk have survived the two major revisions of the statutes in 1923 and 1970. In the Kansas Statutes Annotated, §60-2601 (1976), the clerk is no longer required to maintain the number of volumes that he was previously, but provisions are outlined as to the use of computer storage and retrieval. The keeping of the judicial docket survived the 1923 code revision, but was repealed by the legislature in 1969 as no longer necessary, in view of the extensive case recordings performed today. The Douglas County District Court Records were kept in bound volume series in the old courthouse in the 1100 block of Massachusetts Street. In 1975 massive gutting and renovation was begun to allow for modernization of offices, air control units, and safety standards. The county commissioners took advantage of the situation to employ Kansas Statute Annotated, §19254, whereby any county records over twenty years old, that have been offered to and rejected by the state historical society, may be destroyed upon the approval of the district court. Fortunately the county commissioners, led by Arthur Heck and Peter Whitenight, negotiated to have these records microfilmed and then turned. over to the Kansas Collection of the Kenneth Spencer Research Library at the University of Kansas. In October of 1975, the transfer was made by Board of Commissioners Resolution No. 75-6-1, after approval was granted from the state historical society in Topeka. Within the agreement are provisions to allow continued county ownership and use, open research access, safe and secure maintenance, notification to the board if the records be moved, and attachment of this resolution and its provisions to any future transfer of records. It is hoped (and anticipated) that in the near future this author and the Kansas Collection curator will search through the remaining court records in the remodeled courthouse with the desire to fill in the gaps evident in this collection's volume series. At that time, the remaining 15 �property and government records of the county, already in complete series in the Kansas Collection, will be added to make a finished inventory of the older county court, property, and government records. l. COURT JOURNALS, 1863-1901,22 volumes (letters A-V). Average size 32 x 45 x 8 cm. These volumes contain the proceedings of the Douglas County district court for each day that it met. Included are all civil and criminal trials, grandjury proceedings, orders from the judge in vacation or in chambers, jury selection proceedings, petitions from lawyers and parties, and all other in-court events and matters. Abundant information is available about county court procedure, types and number of different legal cases, city and county growth, and a listing of many county residents. There are no gaps in the series, and later additions of subsequent volumes are expected. Maintained by the court clerk, the, text is very legible. An alphabetical index is included in the front of every volume, listing most names of persons within. Each volume covers about two years of court sessions. 2. JUDGEMENT DOCKETS, 1870-78, 1 volume (no. 2). Size: 33 x 46 x 6 cm. This is a general index in which the name of each person against whom a judgment is rendered, appears in alphabetically ordered sections. Listed under each entry are the parties to the case, the date, the number of pages filed with the clerk, the amount of money settled upon in the case, and the page and volume reference to the particular court journal that holds the text of the case. Entries were made by the court clerk, so the text is uniform and legible. This volume allowed quick reference by any researcher as to a certain person's involvement at trial in court over a seven-year span. These dockets provide a handy research tool in searching for county residents and their legal activities. Volumes 1,3, and 4 are probably in the county courthouse, and will be pursued. 3. CRIMINAL TRIAL DOCKET, 1864-78, I volume (no. 1). Size: 30 x 45 x 6 cm. This volume was used by the court clerk to place upcoming criminal cases upon a case calendar. Noted under each entry are the parties, the attorneys, the docket number, the charge, judicial orders, and final dispensation. An enclosed alphabetical index covers those cases entered between 1874 and 1878. This volume appears to have been of limited use to the ~istrict court, and it is suspected that later volumes were not created. Instead, volume 2 of the Criminal Appearance Dockets lines up exactly in progressing docket number and trial dates with this volume. It is possible that the trial docket entry was dropped in favor of the appearance docket entry system. This volume has limited use to the researcher without an early index. The court journals and judicial dockets contain more information. 4. CRIMINAL APPEARANCE DOCKET, 1878-1907, 1945-49, 1950-51,6 volumes (nos. 2,3, 1,2, C, E). Average size: 32 x 46 x 8 cm. These volumes list all legal actions in the order that they were filed in the court clerk's office. Entry information includes the date of summons and its return, petition and pleadings filed, judicial judgments and orders, and a listing of the costs accrued during the action. The entry served as a registry of all prior trial activities of either party or the court in setting up the case for trial. The first two volumes appear to be successors of volume 1 of the Criminal Appearance Docket. Because of the length of time between the first two and latter four volumes, it is assumed that missing volumes exist at the courthouse. Each volume includes an alphabetical index by parties to the actions in the front. These volumes contain information of interest to the researcher about pretrial court procedure and filing costs and fees. 16 �5. CIVIL TRIAL DOCKETS, 1864-68, 1874-94,9 volumes (nos. 1,2,6-11, 14). Average size: 31 x46 x 7 cm. These volumes were used by the court clerk to place upcoming civil cases upon a case calendar. Noted under each entry are the parties, the attorneys, the docket number, the type of dispute, judicial orders, date of case, and final dispensation. There are no indexes to any of these volumes. Volumes 3-6 are missing and it is uncertain that the court continued to keep such volumes after 1894. The last volume (H) has no entries or text. Although labeled "Final Record" , it is unclear what its use was to have been. These volumes have limited use to the researcher without any indexes. The court journals and the judicial dockets contain more information. 6. CIVIL APPEARANCE DOCKETS, 1863-1901, 16 volumes (letters A-O). Average size: 32 x 47 x 7.5 cm. These volumes list all legal actions in the order that they were filed in the court clerk's office. Entry information includes the date of summons and its return, petition and pleadings filed, judicial judgments and orders, and a listing of the costs accrued during the action. The entry served as a registry of all prior trial activities of either party or the court in setting up the case for trial. Each volume includes an alphabetical index by parties in the front. The series for the above years is complete, with one additional loose index for the years 1901-03 as a part of the series. In addition, a one-volume inverse index is available listing defendant parties for the years 1863-83 (volumes A-I). Later volumes and general indexes are probably in the courthouse. With the aid of the volume indexes, this series is a valuable aid to the researcher studying county business foreclosures, attachments, and other commercial legal problems. 7. JAIL BOOKS, 1867-85, 1904-11,2 volumes (nos. 1 and 4). Average size: 28 x 41 x 5 cm. These volumes list all male prisoners incarcerated in the county jail by order of the court. Kept by either the sheriff or the jailor, the entry information includes the prisoner's name, when committed, his place of origin, his offense, term length, by whose order, when discharged, the number of days served, and his physical description. Alphabetical indexes are included in the front. Volumes 2 and 3 are missing, and later volumes are probably at the courthouse. These volumes are good sources for researchers interested in the number and kinds of persons incarcerated, and for what offenses. 8. SHERIFF'S ACCOUNT BOOK, 1864-65, 1 volume. Size: 27 x 39 x 3 cm. This volume was kept for the period after Quantrill's raid until the end of the Civil War. Listed are all court cases by parties where the sheriff was owed a fee for his services, usually to summons or writ. Also are listings of fees owed to the sheriff for the boarding of prisoners and the duties requiring his travel in and out of the county. There is no index. This volume is of limited use in the study of early county law enforcement. 9. CRIMlNAL JUDICIAL DOCKETS, 1874-78, 1881-1945, 22 volumes (random numerical order). Average size: 30 x 41 x 4.5-7.5 cm. By law, each district judge kept a docket case book of all court cases that he personally tried. Each page entry includes information as to case title, date of writ, date of case, party arrest record, property attached, facts stated, affidavits and bills of particular filed, appearing parties, adjoinments, jury selections and verdicts, witnesses sworn, judicial orders and executions, final judgment, monies paid at court, and any continuances. Because justices stood for re-election 17 �every two years, several of the above volumes changed hands several times. Each judge kept his personal case docket, which he would turn over to his replacement upon retirement. This new judge, in turn, would continue entry of cases until the volume was complete, when it was filed with the district court. Since two justices served at the same time, the volumes from the 1890s onward overlap in chronology, as each judge took his turn trying cases on different days. There are gaps in the volume series between 1878 and 1881, and between 1927 and 1932. Alphabetical indexes are included in the front of each volume. A wealth of information about types of cases, frequency of crimes, judicial orders and procedures, and kinds and severity of punishment meted out are of interest to the researcher. Also included are many names of county residents. 10. CIVIL JUDICIAL DOCKETS, 1873-1927, 1932-61,37 volumes (random numerical order). Average size: 30 x 41 x 7 cm. There are many more civil than criminal cases, accounting for the size of this particular series. By law, each district judge kept a docket case book of all court cases that he personally tried. Each page entry includes information as to case title, date of writ, date of case,. property attached, facts stated, affidavits and bills of particular filed, appearing parties, adjoinments, jury selections and verdicts, witnesses sworn, judicial orders and executions, final judgment, monies paid at court, and any continuances. Because justices stood for re-election every two years, several of the above volumes changed hands several times. Each judge kept his personal case docket, which he would turn over to his replacement upon retirement. This new judge, in turn, would continue entry of cases until the volume was complete, when it was filed with the district court. Since two justices served at the same time, the volumes from the 1890s onward overlap in chronology, as each judge took his tum trying cases on different days. Alphabetical indexes are included in the front of most volumes. Volumes 15 and 18 have bound alphabetical indexes standing besides them. Judge R. C. Manley's volume (1922-25) is mistakenly enclosed within a cover entitled "Criminal Docket, Volume 9." Judge Brook's volume (1907-12) has no index. Several volumes for the years 1927-32 are missing. It is suspected that random volumes are missing from 1920 on. These records are of particular interest to the researcher studying business and county growth, frequency of such cases as divorce and alimony, assault and defamation, and other civil actions. These volumes contain the names of many county residents. 18 �Douglas County Court Records Now at Spencer Research Library, University of Kansas volume no. range record name, dates C-2 C-3 Register of Deeds Fee Book, 1924-40 Reception Record and Fee Book, 1941-45 Claim Register, 1903-06 Claim Register, 1946-54 Claim Register, 1960-66 Record of Claims, 1908-26 Claim and Warrant Register, 1927-29 Warrant Register, 1935 Pay Roll Warrant Register, 1943-53 Unpaid Warrant Register, 1931-48 Treasurer's Warrant Register, 1915-17 Treasurer's Record, 1922-26 Treasurer's Journal, 1957-61 Journal, 1934-46 Civil Docket, 1931-38 Criminal Docket, 1943-48 Bond Record, 1865-1916 Register of City Orders, 1897-1918 Invoices, 1910-15 Ordinances, 1866-1932 Index to Petitions, 1866-1948 Personal Tax Warrant Record, 1925-35 MortgageslFields Destroyed, 1885-95 Record of Cost and Attachment Bonds, 1901-05 Record of Bonds, 1900-23 Record of Appeal and Replevin Bonds, 1900-16 Stock Lien Record, 1888-1940 Welfare Fund and Warrant Register, 1945-47 Sheriff's Fee Book, 1898-1900 Sheriff's Fee Book, 1905-37 Sales Tax Records, Lots, 1859-65 Sales Tax Records, Lots, 1868-1915 Sales Tax Records, Lots & Lands, 1859-67 Sales Tax Records, Lots & Lands, 1916-25 Sales Tax Records, Lands, 1859-65 Sales Tax Records, Lands, 1868-1915 Tax Roll, 1863-1948 Tax Roll, 1949-67 Commissions' Record of Allowances, 1872-1915 Delinquent Real Estate Sales Record, 1926-37 Distribution Record, 1875-79 19 B R-S 24 E-F A A 19-23 �Distribution Record, 1904-28 Fee Books, 1898-1909 Fee Books, 1920-26 Check and Deposit Registration, 1911-38 Redemption Book, 1879-91 C-l Mortgage Records General Index, Mortgages, 1860-95 Mortgage Record Mortgage Record General Index, Deeds, Lawrence, 1855-59 General Index, Deeds, Douglas County, 1857-60 General Index, Deeds, 1860-1900 Deeds Records Numerical Index, 1917-69 Transfer Records, Lands, 1872-1921 Transfer Records, Lands, 1921-70 Transfer Records, Lots, 1871-1918 Transfer Records, Lots, 1918-66 Transfer Records, Lots Index, 1858-1895 Commissioners'Records, 1855-1939 Commissioners' Records Index, 1855-94 Taxes: Additional, 1924-49 Assessments: Eudora, Palmyra, Willow Springs, 1865 Clinton, Kanwaka, Lecompton, Marion, 1865 Wakarusa, Sarcoxie, 1865 Assessment Rolls: Eudora, Baldwin, Lecompton, 1930-45 Baldwin, Vinland, 1916-21 Baldwin, Vinland, 1926-29 Clinton, 1863-1945 Eudora, 1864-1925 Eudora, 1930:-45 Grant, 1867-1945 Kanwaka, 1864-1945 Lawrence, 1863-1945 North Lawrence, 1869-70 Lecompton, 1864..,69 Lecompton, 1872-1945 Marion, 1864-1945 Palmyra, 1863-1945 Wakarusa, 1863-82 Wakarusa, 1886-1945 Willow Springs, 1863-1945 Civil Appearance Dockets, 1863-1901 A-O Civil Appearance Dockets: Inverse Index, 1863-84 Civil Trial Dockets, 1864-68 20 D-Z, 1-37 2-8 1 (A-L) 2 (M-Z) . 1-16 A-Z, 1-64 2-7 2-8 A-M (not J) A-F A-I �Civil Trial Dockets, 1874-94 Final Record, blank Civil Dockets (with indexes), 1873-76 C-2 6-11 1-3 Civil/Justice Dockets, 1876-1961 1874-78 Sheriff Docket, 1864-65 Rec~>Tds, C-3 Redemption Book, 1910-34 Tax Levies, 1867-1934 Judgement Tax Roll, 1893-98 General Abstract of Tax Roll, 1903-21 General Abstract of Tax Roll, 1923-40 Abstract of Assessment Roll, 1913-43 Omitted Personal Property Tax Roll, 1903-04 Railroad Tax Roll, 1874-79 Railroad Tax Roll, 1882-1910 Recapitulation of Abstract of Tax Rolls, 1927-40 Journal, Clerks Offices, 1880-1910 General Ledger, 1911-27 Recapitulation of County Orders, 1867-74 Bank Accounts, 1886-1909 Daily Cash Book, 1886-96 Treasurer's Record of Payment for Floating Orders, 187Commissioners' Report on Fees, 1921-24 Ledger, Paid Out, 1914-19 Ledger, County Assistance to the Needy, 1912-14 Ledger, PostagelMeter Readings, 1944 Ledger, PostagelMeter Readings, 1946 Ledger, PostagelMeter Readings, 1955-58 Peddler's License, 1903-42 Ledger, License Books, 1944-45 Ledger, License Books, 1949-59 Licenses Sold, 1958-64 Ledger, Fees Paid for Licenses, 1946-51 Ledger, Amounts Paid by Treasurer, 1868-78 Ledger, County Fund Balances, 1884-1911 Estrays, 1863-66 Estrays,1875-1916 Real Estate Index, 1891 Record of Physicians Authority to Practice, 1901-19 Record of Blank Liquor Affidavits, 1887-1909 Census, 1870 Register of School District Bonds, 1872-1922 Record of School Land Sales, 1866-1907 Register of Party Affiliation, prior to 1938: Douglas County, Fourth Ward, First Precinct Kanwaka;

J. and Mary were long time members of the Douglas County Genealogical Society. A. J. worked in our library and was treasurer for several years. A. J. baked bread many times for our bake sales and potluck dinners. Mary was our historian for several years. His recipe for Grandma's Cinnamon Rolls follows. -Mary Burchill A.

Cleaning Mother's House Courtesy of Michael John Neill. This is a warning to all of us. The author ofthe article, which appeared on ancestry. com (see credits below), graciously consented to allow me to use this on the KYRESEARCH list and in Traces, vol. 1, no. 1, and I am very grateful! Michael John Neill has done us all a great favor. -Mary Burchill It has been nearly a year since fictional genealogist Barbara passed away. Her daughter Charlene reflects upon that year in a letter to her friend Karen. Charlene truly has been busy. Barbara is probably rolJing over in her grave. "Karen: As usual, my cards are late. It has been a busy year. We spent much of the year settling up Mother's estate. The house sold well, but cleaning it took longer than we expected. You are probably the· only person who did not know Mother was a genealogy buff. She told practically every human she encountered. I 'm convinced that genealogy "nut" was the most 32 �accurate phrase. The stuff was all over the house. The inheritance would have been enough to pay for my new Mercedes had she not insisted on spending money on that blasted hobby. I don't know why she couldn't be more like Tom's mother. Nadine spends her day doing needlepoint and watching reruns of 50s television shows. Tom just does not realize how lucky he is, but men never do. My mother had to run off to cemeteries and courthouses. She even went to a conference in Davenport, Iowa, last year! Can you imagine? Davenport, Iowa! After she got back, she was so excited about all that she had learned and all the fun she had. She was planning on going to another one in California this year. Wel1 the grim reaper took care of that. Because of my promotion to head of knick knack sales at Garbageforless.com, I. had not been home for several years. I was appal1ed to learn that Mother had converted myoid bedroom into her family history "headquarters." My shelves of Teen Beat and other magazines documenting my adolescence had been replaced with old family photographs, copies of old documents, and something called family group sheets. She even got rid of the pants I wore to my first junior high dance. I cried at the thought. I could not bear to go in the room and be reminded that my childhood had been stripped from me and replaced with an obsession with the past. I told the children that if they would clean the room and prepare the items for the garage (should I say "garbage"?) sale they could have the proceeds. I learned what true entrepreneurs they are. Kenny stripped Mother's hard drive in under ten minutes. I kept hearing him say "GedCom is GedGone . .. GedCom is GedGone .... " I have no idea what it meant, but the computer fetched a good price. Before he unplugged the computer, he erased Mom's floppy disks and downloaded public domain games. He sold these at a nominal price. Susan took the old photographs to a flea market and was able to sel1 many of them. Some speciallabe1s had to be taken off and we had to take them out of protective envelopes. Mother had written the names on the back of many of them. At least none of those pictures of depressing old dead people had our last name written on them. I don't want to be associated with such sour people. Mother had some type of old plat book-whatever that is. Kenny tore out the pages individual1y and sold them separately on EBay. It was so clever. His dad said he got much more than ifhe had left the book in one piece. Susan didn't tear the bibles apart, though. I thought that showed tremendously good sense. She's learning that not everything can be marketed in the same way. The 1790 bible brought her a good penny, but she couldn't get the one from 1900 to bring more than fifty cents. She donated it to a local church, and here is where I am so proud of her. We can write ifoffas a charitable deduction. Someone had written what they had paid for the bible on the back cover. Susan converted that to 2001 dollars and will use that for our tax deduction amount. I've already' enrolled Susan in tax lawyer summer camp this coming August. There was some old large certificate of written on heavy paper. The silly thing wasn't even in English, so why would Mother keep it? Kenny used the other side to keep track of the things he had sold. Waste not, want not. When we were finished we put the paper in the recycling bin. The kids put an old wedding dress from the 1870s in the washer to get the stains out. It was terribly filthy. The worthless thing didn't even survive the extra long cycle and the half-gallon of bleach. It's doubtful we can even use it for cleaning rags. The dress was in some kind of old trunk. I'm not certain what it was for, but it had a name stenciled on the front in huge letters along with the name of a town. Susan gave it a good coating of red paint and sold it as a toy box. ·33 , �The filing cabinets were emptied of their contents, as were the three shelves of binders. Kenny got the bright idea to shred the paper and sell it in bags as New Year's confetti. The file folders were too heavy to shred. The baby did not react well to any of this. She cried and fussed almost the entire time. Kenny thought she wanted tea, which made no sense to me at all. As she cried, it sounded like she was saying "family tee." She can't even talk yet and I think Kenny was hearing things. The baby does look exactly like my mother though, it's the oddest thing. The fussing didn't stop until she spit up an entire bottle of strained prunes on my junior high jeans, which we did find in the basement. They were it was the one real loss. Now my past has really been taken from me-magazines and all.

Vaughn; courtesy of Watkins Museum Genealogy quips from the internet (submitted by Beverley Chapman) My family coat of arms ties at the back ... is that normal? My family tree is a few branches short! All help appreciated. My ancestors must be in the witness protection program. Shake your family tree and watch the nuts fall. My hobby is genealogy, I raise dust bunnies as pets. How can one ancestor cause so much TROUBLE! I looked into my family tree and found out I was a sap... not stuck, I'm ancestrally challenged. I'm searching for myself, have you seen me? If only people came with pull-down menus and on-line help. Isn't genealogy fun? The answer to one problem leads to two more. It's 2001 ... Do you know where your GGGrandparents are? A family reunion is an effective form of birth control. A family tree can wither if nobody tends its roots. A new cousin a day keeps the boredom away. After 30 days unclaimed ancestors can be adopted. Am I the only person up my tree ... sure seems like it. Any family tree produces some lemons, some nuts, and a few bad apples. Ever find an ancestor HANGING from the family tree? FLOOR: The place for storing your priceless genealogy records. Gene-Allergy: It's a contagious disease but I love it. Genealogists are time unravelers. Genealogy is like playing hide and seek: They hide ... I seek. Genealogy: Tracing yourself back to better people. "Crazy" is a relative term in my family. I'm More serious tips from the internet When my dad died, I was upset that the newspaper in the next town did not carry his obituary. Then I realized that, in fact, there was a long front-page article about my dad and his various accomplishments and elective positions. If you are checking newspapers yourself, don't just look at the obituary page, particularly if the person you seek was at all wekk nown in the local area. The death may be classified under "news." -Kate Randall Reeves, Mountain Center, Calif When selecting page protectors or photo protector sheets, remember the three Pollys: polyester, polyethylene, and polypropanol. These are archival-safe materials. If the pack or your vendor can't verity the content of the materials, don't buy the product. �-Mary Clement Douglass, CGRS (former museum curator), Salina, Kansas When I used my scanner to get a picture from 'a book or thick item, it is hard to have the top put down, so when I have the book in the scanner and the edges sticking out, I throuw a large dark sweater or cloth over the whole thing so no light can get in. The writing and pictures turn out well. -Buirl Thomsen Think "outside the box" when searching for information about an ancestor. Searching the normal channels (websites, family papers, relatives, etc.) for information on my greatgrandfather James Robert Tumey produced some written and pictorial documentation but not much. Then, on a whim, I tried a web search for "Tumey Family Recipes" (even though I wasn't interested in cooking) and hit pay-dirt. The site was using a picture of my great-grandfather's homestead (ca. 1910) as a logo. Other information on the site was a childhood picture of a greataunt (ca. 1913) and a written reminiscence by a great-great aunt detailing her early recollections of her father. So, if normal research doesn't produce results, look for information buried within unlikely sources-you can never know what will show up. -Jerry Platz When visiting cemeteries and locating the lot number and grave, I ask the cemetery office for a copy of a map of the cemetery. I then find the location and highlight the route I took to get there, with an x at the target spot. I file this copy with the picture of the headstone of who is buried there. This way, in the future, it will be easy for relatives to locate the graves, and save time wandering around the graveyard. -Mark [no last name] Hilarious requests of librarians (sent by Don Vaughn) Do you have anything on the Looney family, because I am a Looney too. I am sorry we have not got complete families. The trouble is here is extracting the children from the minister. I am forwarding my marriage certificate and three children, one of which is a mistake, as you can see. The wife of Amos Smith could not be found. Someone suggested to me that she might have been stillborn. What do you think? Do you keep a record of branded cattle? I'm trying to find my grandfather. Please send me my genealogy back to Noah, and when will the Flood records be online? Do you have my grandmother in a microwave? [She meant to say microfilm.] Genealogy corner, by Paul Jordan [stolen from the Douglas County Historical Society Newsletter 29, no. 2, March/April 2003] Nearly all of our requests for family history information comes from the U.S., but we continue to get a few from other countries. The latest was an e-mail from Soren Barteldes, who wrote "Me and my family are living in Wetter, Germany and there just 4 families, which carry the name in Germany." This is pretty much the reverse of the usual procedure where we in the U.S. want to get information from the old countries. When searching the West Junior High School website http://history . lawrence . com the name Barteldes was found in seven of the articles, including the fo~di~g oTE~do~~-a;d-a"··­ picture of a Barteldes seed catalog from ] 887. 37 �A book of tombstone inscriptions in the museum enabled me to find nine obituaries, including that of Freiderich Barteldes in 1886, who had come to Douglas County in 1856. The obituary of Friedo Barteldes (1976) included the fact that his nephew, Ben, is a former mayor of Lawrence! Bart Barteldes of Perry is making contact with Soren to share information of other relatives in other states. Isn't the internet great? 38, �The University of Kansas Libraries Kenneth Spencer Research Library THE KANSAS COLLECTION ~~~'::s "II II f' A~;~nns HCounty Records I Kansas Life I Wilcox " .

Quantrill's men in 1863. An account of the earliest county government and court history, including a listing of county and court officials, is contained in A. T. Andreas' History of the State of Kansas, Chicago, 1883 (reprinted in 1976 by the Atchison County Historical Society), pages 310-312. This is available on reference at the Kansas Collection. Court records which are held by the Kansas Collection include: Douglas County Probate Records Probate court records for Douglas County were kept separately from other district court records until 1977. The probate court had jurisdiction over estates, wills, adoptions, insanity hearings, delinquent and dependent children hearings, marriages and town incorporations. Probate files include all original documents filed in a case. In estate cases these can include copies of the inventory of the estate and the will of the deceased and details about the disposition of the estate. No adoption records are open to the public. Records of insanity hearings and care and treatment cases are included in the probate records in the Kansas Collection unless they were deemed confidential. The Kansas Collection has the index to probate records from 1857-1965 and the accompanying case files if they are no longer active. In order to locate a case file in the indexes you need to know the name of the person and if possible the date the case was filed. The index for probate cases after 1965 is only available at the Douglas County Clerk's office. ,.\ In addition, the Kansas Collection has the journals of the probate court for Sept. 24, 1855-June 28,1974. These are a chronological record of the day-to-day proceedings of the probate court. Douglas County Civil and Criminal Court Records 3'1 �District Court Journals 1863-1974, are a record of all the proceedings in the district court each day that it met.

Entries include: the names of parties, the names of attorneys, the docket number, the charge, judicial orders and final dispensation. It is indexed alphabetically from 1874-1878. It appears that this docket may not have been kept after 1878. District Court Criminal Appearance Dockets, 1863-1970, list all legal actions in the order they were filed in the court clerk's office. Information provided includes the date of summons and its return, petition and pleadings filed, judicial judgments and orders and a list of costs accrued during the action. The volumes include an alphabetical index by parties to the actions. District Court Criminal Judicial Dockets, 1874-1878, 1881-1927, 1932-1945, were kept by each judge as a record of cases they personally tried. Entries include case title, date of writ, date of case, party arrest record, property attached, facts stated, affidavits and bills of particular filed, appearing parties, adjoinments, jury selections and verdicts, witnesses sworn, judicial orders and executions, final jUdgment, monies paid at court and any continuances. Dockets were passed on to the next judge, and from the 1890s onward, when two justices served concurrently, the volumes overlap in chronology. There is an alphabetical index in the front of each volume. District Court Civil Trial Dockets, 1864-1868, 1874-1894, were used by the court clerk to place upcoming civil cases upon the case calendar. Entries include the names of parties, names of attorneys, the docket number, the type of dispute, judicial orders, the date of case and the final dispensation. These records are not indexed and it is not certain that they were kept after 1894. The last volume, labeled "Final Record" is blank.

Entries include the date of summons and its return, petition and pleadings filed, judicial judgments and orders, and a listing of costs accrued during the action. Each volume is indexed in the front by parties involved, except 1901-1903, which has a separate index. A separate index to defendants was kept for 1863-1883. Business legal problems are one type of case covered by these indexes. District Court Civil Judicial Dockets. 1873-1928, 1931-1961, were kept by each judge recording all cases he personally tried. Entries include the case title, date of writ, date of case, property attached, facts stated, affidavits and bills of particular filed, appearing parties, adjoinments, jury selections and verdicts, witnesses sworn. judicial orders and executions. final judgment. monies paid at court and any continuances. Dockets were passed on to the next judge, and from the 1890s onward. when two justices served concurrently, the volumes overlap in chronology. There is an alphabetical index in the front of most volumes, though volumes 15 and 18 have separate indexes. The 1907-1912 volume has no index. The 1922-1925 volume (Judge R. C. Manley) is mistakenly labeled "Criminal docket, volume 9". Cases covered by these volumes include business legal problems, divorce and alimony, and assault and defamation.

The volumes show the name of 1-0 �.. . the owner and the person who paid the taxes year by year, the amount of taxes paid, and the assessed value of the land parcel.

See an article later in the Pioneer for the details . SESQUICENTENNIAL COOKBOOK The Society is considering putting together a cook book for the Sesquicentennial of Lawrence. We may include some old recipes but it will be mostly recipes from members. Come to the February 17 meeting where we will vote on doing the project and learn the particulars. Be thinking of· and collecting recipes, either from your family long ago or of today. PIONEER BACK ISSUES The Society has copies of nearly all issues of the Pioneer that have been published. They are now being stored in the Osma Room storage closet. We . need the space and you need the Pioneer for your own research. To . accomplish that we will be in the Osma Room one hour before the program in February, March and May. We will also be there on February 28 for a work day and to give out the Pioneers. Bring your list of what you need. There will be no charge for these issues. c· / �BUNKER CLARK. The last·several issues .ofthe Pioneer have been edited by Bunker Clark. He did a great job but Bunker died in December. So this issue is a bit hit and miss and definitely does not have the amount of class that he put into each issue. We will miss Bunker i,n lots of ways. Thanks, Bunker. ABSTRACTS a . The saga of the abstracts continues. The library needs the space and to that end we sought someplac.e to put the abstracts. Watkins Museum will take them and is excited to get them. Bruce Flannery will box them up and take· charge of getting them to Watkins., The next issue of the Pioneer will show how Richard Wellman from Baldwin used a spreadsheet to more or less .index each abstract.

It has 44 pages and is looseleaf . Original Land Owners-Delaware Trust Lands of Jefferson County Kansas .. Purchased at auctions at: Fort Leavenworth (Nov. 1856) Ranges 19 and 20. Ozawkie (July 18570 Ranges 16, 17, 18. The Original Land Owners-Delaware Trust Lands begins with a discussion of where these records are, how they are listed, etc .. The introduction is a good overview of territorial land records and is included in this Pioneer following these reviews. The body of the book is divided into two sections. The first is an alphabetical listing by name which includes Quarter, Section, Township, Range, Acres, Date of Purchase and Price per acre. The second section is sorted by land description and includes the same information. It is 55 pages long. Both of these titles were compiled by Howard Wellman and will be shelved in the Osma Room. �ORIGINAL LAND PURCHASES, DELAWARE TRUST LANDS • • Portions extracted from Andrea's History of Kansas are shown in BOLD PRINT. On May 30, 1854, Kansas was admitted as a Territory, and the rush of settlement commenced at once. Treaties had been made with the Delaware Indians, to whom the lands which now. comprise Jefferson County then belonged; but the lands were not yet opened to .settlement nor surveys made. No attention, however, was paid to this fact, and during the year a large number of persons selected claims within the limits of the present county, though but comparatively few made an actual settlement until the following year. The lands comprising the Delaware purchase included the greater part of the county, but excepted a large tract held by the Delaware Indians, as a diminished reserve. We 'now speak of these as the "Delaware Trust Lands" and the "Delaware Reserve Lands". The "Delaware Trust Lands" were to be sold at two public auctions. The first was to be held at Fort Leavenworth, starting in November 1856 and the second at Ozawkie starting in July1857. The "Delaware Reserve Lands" were later transferred to the Federal Govenunentby treaty with the Delaware Indians that was approved in July 1860. The "Reserve Lands" were transferred to the Union Pacific Railroad. The railroad later sold most of those lands directly to individuals in the latter 1860's. Here, we are only going to address the land . sales of 1856 & 5 7 . ' Previous to the land sales, the settlers had no right whatever to the land which they occupied, except a "squatter's right," which was simply a right by possession, and with an understanding that each settler would be allowed to bid on the land he claimed, at its appraised value, on the day of sale. The squatter's right proved a fruitful source of many serious troubles. There was much contention as to the ownership of claims, and a question as to what constituted a settlement. At first a habitation was required, but soon a mere foundation was regarded as sufficient to hold a claim. This was subject to many abuses, for it was not long until many tracts of land were literally covered with "foundations", .which in a majority of cases were formed of four twigs lain in form of a square. A search for the records ·for any of these early claims andlor records of the land sales of 1856 & '57 was made at the Jefferson Co. courthouse Register of Deeds office. However, most of the recorded deeds started with an owner who was not the Federal Government, with a few exceptions where a much later filed "Land Patent" was recorded. Microfilm copies of KANSAS TRACT BOOKS were found at Kansas State Historical Soc. library in Topeka. That series of books record the original transfer of lands from the Federal Government and includes all of Jefferson county that was sold in the land sales. It is film No; MS-325. There is also a series of microfilm of Plat maps, one map for each survey township (36 sections of land) of Jefferson Co.. Film No. MS 364. The first land auction at Fort Leavenworth, Nov. 1856, sold the northeastern portion(Ranges 19&20). The remaining western portion was sold at Ozawkie in July 1857. , The microfilm of the land sales is f~ir1y legible, though everything is handwritten in script. There is always some difficulty in reading script to be sure of exact spelling of names, so there may be some errors in interpretation of the handwriting. The most difficult aspect was in detennining the middle initial of the person., so be sure and consider the possible errors. There also appeared to be some notes included on some parcel records, that I think may have been something about a squatter's claim, though all of those notes were very small and maybe done in pencil as they did not copy onto the microfilm. The Plat maps do show some squatter claims and some names are legible, though many are not. Since the land had not been surveyed, most of those claims are shown as little boxes of various sizes and had no connection to subsequent quarter section l i n e s . ' . . As you look at the prices paid and the price variation, one can almost feel the excitement as each family waited to bid on the quarter section they most desired . • 5 �GENEALOGY ON THE INTERNET Last Fall Martha Harris presented a program for the Society on Researching Genealogy on the Internet.

GARDNER left Tuesday for Jacksonville, Illinois Miss Elsie CLINGER came down from Topeka Tuesday evening. There are two weddings that will occur next Tuesday. Miss Ruth PLUMB was called home from her University work this week by the illness of her brother. An engagement party was given in West LawrenCe last Sunday. The wedding will take place in June. Superintendent and Mrs. C.F.MESERVE returned Wednesday from a pleasant stay of about two weeks in the state of California. . Mrs. Gen. H. S. HALL and daughter Miss Mabel are in New York, having been called there by the death of a relative. They will likely stay some time. . The wedding of Mr. Ed. SCHALL to Miss May RUSHMER is announced to take place next Tuesday at 1 o'clock at the home of the bride in the west part of the city. . The Kappa Alpha Theta fraternity entertained the girls of the other two University fraternities last Saturday evening at the home of Miss Mary STONE. There is a very large enrollment of the ladies of Lawrence in the University extension course of lectures on electricity that was begun this week by Prof. L.1. BLAKE. The course will undoubtedly be a very popular one and already has a larger enrollment than any course that has yet been given in Lawrence. There was considerable of a society feature about the presentation of "The Old Oaken Bucket" that was given last evening and the night before by home talent. The parts taken were nearly all by those who are active in the little Lawrence social world and to their efforts is largely due the success of the production. The event of next week is the reception of the Kappa Kappa Gammas that will occur on Saturday afternoon and evening. All the members of the University faculty have been invited and the members of other girl fraternities as well as the usual list of young men. There will be every effort made to eclipse all precious attempts at entertaining in a swell way. There has been rather a lack of anything going on this week but the young folks have made up for it by enjoying themselves on the ice. Every evening there have been great crowds and though the ice has been far from good skating the boys and girls have seemed to spend the time in a way that was very pleasant to them. There will be considerable more of it from present prospects. The wedding of Mr. Louis POEHLER to Miss Eva MILES on Thursday afternoon was the only event of this kind that occured this week. It was a home affair and only the intimate friends and relatives of the young folks were present. The wedding took place at the suburban home of the bride's father, Col. John D. MILES, just south of the city. [Now the 1500 block of Barker, west side.] After the uniting words has been spoken by Rev. Dr. CORDLEY and the company partaken of a luncheon, the bridal couple left for a trip to New York and other eastern places and after their return they 'will be at home to friends in this city. Thursday was the fIftieth anniversary of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Charles DUNCAN. The occasion was remembered by a pleasant family gathering at the home on Tennessee street and the having of an old-fashioned family dinner. Later in the day Mrs. and Mrs. Duncan were remembered by the presentation of a splendid leather upholstered �ann rocking chair. This was accompanied by the following. Mrs. and Mrs. C.S. DUNCAN: A few of your many friends and neighbors offer their hearty congratUlations on this fiftieth anniversary of your marriage, and also a slight testimonial of their respect and affectionate regard: (signed) C.A.

LCC?mpton centennial show was Ge~rge WashingtoD resgrove who, weanng his hundred and three years serenely, rode at the head ~f the long par~de that passed under the elms and maples of the drowsy little ' nver Town which was Kansas' first territorial capital. N~arly a hundred years of his earth-loving life have been spent on Kansas s~tl .. Bo~ on August 26th, his I03rd birthday anniversary, like the days of his life, WIll be passed in quietness and strength. Mr. Presgrove hears , perfect~y, and has good eyesight, and fondness for people, and fondness for gardenmg and music. There's an ?<lison phonograph of early design in his living room; the playing of blue cy lm~er records, particularly hymns, and old Irish airs, is constant pleasure to ~m: He enjoys music by radio, too, and listens to the news of the wo~ld mterest. From Grant to Eisenhower, he has voted the Republ~can tIcket straight and he is contented with the way the countty is now bemg run. Wl!h ~~'s a large picture of Abraham Lincoln and cabinet on a wall of the hvmg r<>?m,. a recollection, told vividly but with unforgotten grief by the centenanan IS of a long gone afternoon which he says HI remember like yesterday. " "I remember how it was that my Uncle Main had been down by Rising Sun - there was a blacksmith shop and hotel and stores and a saloon in the little town at the mouth of the Delaware then - and I was going out to meet him. I met him a-horseback and when he came up to where I was I knew by the look on his face that something was wrong. He looked at me and all he said was Lincoln's been "assassinated", and rve never forgot how we felt - how everybody felt." He recalls the time, back to Massac County, Illinois, near the Ohio River, where he was born, the wild pigeons flew into the farmyard, so thick they darkened the sky and so heavy in the branches the broke limbs and branches; he remembers the old mill where he first saw grain being ground; remembers the long drive to the Kansas territory where the family came by wagon, pulled by a team of oxen, Red and Ned; feels afresh the sorrow of the family when his young uncle, Tommy Woods, was shot by the rebels; chuckles over the days when they ran out of flour and lived for a long time without bread but didn't care because they had good roasting ears to eat. (Mr. Presgrove grew up to be the first farmer to plant wheat iIi the rich river valley near the present town of Perry.) >Froril south of Ft. Scott, where his family first settled on reaching the territory, the Presgroves, who were Union sympathizers, moved on northward, coming thru Lawrence just ahead of the Quantrill raiders, and settling in Jefferson County. He has remembered pride in the first pair of boy suspenders and boots he bought from Louie Lutt's store, at Rising Sun. Thinks yet about the horse that drowned ttying to cross the river from Lecompton to the opposite shore. "It was one Sunday, and I went down to watch. The government took horses across that way. There were a lot of them, and they made it all right but that one poor horse. Just lost its head and swam round and round, couldn't get direction. Just kept going round and round until it sank." /{P �Then there was fiddling. The pleasure of going to a neighbor's to a dance, and hearing the fiddle. The pleasure of walking. "I walked to Oskaloosa and back in a day from our fann near Perry. II And he still likes walking. "I'm always up all day, nowdays." (But not walking out in the winter weather. Mr. Presgrove doesn't like the cold weather and avoids it. He doesn't catch cold either. Hasn't had a sniffle or a spell of flu for seven years, he says.) "You know oxen ore very intelligent animals," Mr. Presgrove maintains. "Real smart. That team of oxen that brought us to Kansas broke the sod and I farmed with them as a boy. All I'd have to say was hear Ned lower you head. come with me and old Ned would bow his head so you could put the yoke on." One time the family was in Leavenworth for supplies in the ox drawn wagon and they were on their way home when a hard storm came up. They make it to the covered bridge near Springdale, and there, under shelter, the storm ranting through the night, family and team stayed in the covered bridge until daybreak. A great adventure they all thought afterwards. . In 1907, George Presgrove and Laura Thompson, a girl from a neighboring farm in the Oak Grove community, were married. Old friends recall Mr. Presgrove's devotion to her. Remember too, the big loaves of bread and her ample homemaking ways. The Presgrove fann was famed for its fine fruit; the first Elberta peaches seen by some in those times were the unusually large ones grown by Mr. Presgrove. Of children there are one girl and two boys dead and three boys living, Harry and Jim ofHoustoil, Texas, both railroad men, and Jesse, now a slim young hearted old boy of a mere 75 years whose sweet tenor voice reminds people of John McCormick. Jesse and his father share the comfortable white frame house on the edge of Lecompton; Jesse cooks and keeps the place neat and charming, and he sings now as he did in the days offrrst youth when he was popular in Williamstown literary and singing school circles, and would hannonize his fine tenor in "Goo Goo Eyes" and "On the Banks of the Wabash." Altho Mr. George Presgrove's parents died in their middle years his sisters lived in their 80s. His friends believe he Can hope for at least a hundred and ten years and who could say how many more? "He eats like a heavy man in the winter," says Jesse,"Lighter in the summer. Likes everything. Bowls of cornflakes and buttered toast and milk, sometimes thee or four cups of coffee in the morning. Likes fresh vegetables especially. And tomatoes. Never turns down tomatoes. Worked in the garden and enjoyed eating the good things the raised thru his lOOth year. Wasn't age that stopped him this year. Grasshoppers and drought. Helped can 17 quarts of beans from our own garden in the summer he was 100." That was the year the town celebrated for him. The United Brethren Church and other in . the community gave a party and there were 100 candles on the birthday cake. "He likes sweet things. Candy specially mints. " . To what does Mr. Presgrove himself believe his long grant of years and good health can be credited? He thought it over and seemed to have nothing to offer about that. "Never was one to philosophize much" Jesse Presgrove mediated. 17 �Mr. Jess got up and turned on the Edison. "Rock of Ages," and "Abide with Me," "When you and I were Young," "Maggie," "I'll Take you Home Again Kathleen,"and "My Wild Irish Rose," with the younger Presgrove's true tenor were heard above the mellow music from the phonograph. studi~ the beautiful George hummed, kept time lightly with his left foot, old blue china dinner plates in the glass cupboard. Thoughtfully he turned to the inquirer in room and revealed the secret of his longevity: "I've always tended my own business" said George Washington Presgrove. {The interviewer did make a couple mistakes, George and Laura were married 1875 and the Presgrove family first settled in Jasper Mo. before moving to Ft. Scott. Also I still have the Edison, and it works.} Liz A license was granted to John Brugen,ofEudora,and-CathenneVogel, of the county permitting them to jump the fence of single blessedness and graze in the green pastures of doubleness. Don and Wilma The Daily Journal, Wednesday, July 24, 1878. "Death of Benajah H. Miles" Benajah H. Miles died at his mother's residence in this city, at seven oclock Tuesday evening, aged nearly forty-one years. At the hour of his death he was surrounded by many friends and relatives, among whom were his wife and three children, his mother, and all his brothers and sisters except two. Born in Ohio, Mr. Miles lived laterly in Indiana, -whence he came to Kansas eight years ago. For two years he was agent for the Kickapoos, holding that position until the consolidation of that tribe with the Pottawatomies. For three years, up to the present time he has been chief clerk at the Cheyenne and Arapahoe Agency, for his brother John D. Miles. Four weeks ago he fell ill with low typhoid fever, contracted by overwork consequent upon the transfer of the northern Cheyennes to the Territory._ The funeral will be held on Thursday next, at 9 a.m., from the residence of Mrs. Miles, comer of New Jersey and Hancock streets. Friends of the family are invited to be present. Benajah H. Miles has lived a most exemplary life both as a citizen and a public officer. His integrity of motive, coupled with power of doing, made him known and respected by a large circle of acquaintances, and it will be from this circle that those who are called to mourn will receive a most heartfelt sympathy. If �EUDORA TIDBITS Lawrence Daily Journal, February 2, 1884 "Eudora Items" Eudora, Kan., Feb. 1st, 1884 The Republicans of Eudora city and township held a caucus in the City Hall yesterday for the purpose of nominating township officers. The meeting was called to order by M.D. Greenlee when his Honor, John Hammer, was elected as . chairman, and Greenlee secretary. The following named gentlemen were nominated by acclimatipn; F or trustee, Chas. Lethal. For clerk, Peter Gangrene. F or treasurer, T.J. Huddleston. For justices of the peace JoOO Wilder and Capt. T.I Jennings. For constables, Geo. Stadler and Chas. Albright. The meeting was harmonious as well as enthusiastic throughout. Party lines were not drawn as Mr. Jennings, at present our JP. is a Greenbacker but a efficient [sic] officer. The question seemed to be who could best serve the people and give the old officers a rest. The ticket is a good one and ought to be elected. The grandest event of the season at this place came off on the 31 st, by the lady members of the Eudora dancing club giving a leap year party. The invitation committee was Misses Maggie A. Darling, Sadie M. Brogan and ELM. Schaeffer. Committee of arrangements: Mrs. SOV. Carr, Misses Vine Cop, Mary Burnets, Ida Zimmerman, Ella Brander, Annie Lethal, Clara Beck. Floor managers: Misses May Schaeffer and Sadie Brogan. Door keepers: Misses Minnie Lethal [sic], Alice Burnets. About fifty couples were in attendance and all seemed to enjoy themselves hugely, especially the gents who were favored with a fair pardner [sic] to foot the bills. A splendid supper was served by the ladies at 12 o'clock after which dancing to the excellent music furnished by A. Christianson and his string band was kept up until a late hour. To say the least the affair was a grand success and does credit to the ladies who were untiring in their efforts to make everybody happy. Miss Mull, of Cedar creek, and Miss Curtis, of Olathe, were among the guests at the leap year party from distance. Mr. Charles Pilla, our efficient postmaster, having the welfare of the public at heart, has added sixty-four call boxes, and thirty-three walnut flushed lock boxes, gotten up by Joseph Herz, cabinet maker of this place. They are supplied with Yale locks and are a credit to the originators. When the present improvements are completed we think Eudora can boast of as complete and nicely arranged fourth class post office as there is in this part of the. state. Among the many improvements and commendable enterprises now taking place in our little city we would not do justice to the energy and get up and. get of our citizens if we failed to note the coming and going of Dr. August Loman, who has recently located among us. He seems to be busy as a bee and from reports of those whom he has treated he is working up a splendid practice, and we believe without trying to flatter the doctor, that he thoroughly understands his profession. (signed) PINTO. i'f �A STORY OF QUANTRILL This was in the Alumni Magazine from Emporia State University Abigail Morse recalls living through Quantrill's raid 6fLawrence This is the first in a series of columns by Dr. Sam ,Dicks, university historian, concerning the history of what is now Emporia State University and the people who helped the university get to where it is today. The name of his column, ~'Wave the Old Gold," is taken from the title of a song that served as an alma mater (school song) in the early years of the institution. EMPORIA, Kansas - Abigail Prentice Barber graduated from Wheaton Seminary in Massachusetts in July of 1857, and married the Rev. Grosvenor C. Morse in Massachusetts in September. The newlyweds reached Emporia on October 19, only a few months after By Or. Sam Dick. the town Was founded. . Rev. Morse, a recent graduate of Dartmouth College and Andover Seminary, immediately held religious services, and in 1858 formally organized the Congregational Church in Emporia.' He also helped raise money for the first school which opened in October of 1858 with Mary Jane Watson as the first teacher. He campaigned hard for the establishment of the Kansas State Normal School, now Emporia State University, and journeyed to Illinois in December of 1864 where he hired Lyman B. Kellogg as its first president. He spoke at some of the earliest teachers institutes in Manhattan and elsewhere, and served a term as Lyon County Superintendent of Schools. He was accidently killed while digging a well on their claim southeast of Emporia in 1870. Abigail, left with three children under the age of 10, werit to work to support her family. She taught in the Emporia Public Schools and, for six years, was principal ofthe high school. She also taught history, literature, and rhetoric at the Normal School and served as preceptress (dean of women), where she gave guidance and counsel to many students. Abigail Morse Hall at ESU was dedicated in her honor as a women's residence hall in 1923. She died December 6, 1925, one day short of her 92 nd birthday. Each year on her birthday for many years after her death women students attended memorial services at the Congregational Church. Her widowed sister, Mary Carpenter, was remembered by William Altan White asthe helpful librarian at the Emporia PublicL.ibrary (located upstairs over a store in the 1880s) who first exposed him to Emerson and other American writers~ Mary later married John C. Rankin, a farmer and legislator from Quenemo; she died in 1917. Abigail Morse had been a frequent speaker at community and church gatherings and was often asked on Kansas Day to give her account of Quantrill's guerilla raid on Lawrence in August of 1863, while she was there visiting her sister, Mary. Most blacks fled the Missouri bushwackers, knowing they faced certain death from these defenders of slavery and the Confederacy, but some white mal~s, not expecting a massacre, remained. Only women and children were spared. Following is Abigail Morse's account, which was published in the Emporia Gazette two days after her death, on December 8, 1925: My sister, Mary E. Barber, a graduate of Mount Holyoke Seminary, came from Massachusetts to spend a summer with us. She taught the next year in the Baldwin public schools, and the year . ,J..D �following that in the Lawrence high school. She was married at our home by Mr. Morse, October 10,1862, to Judge Louis Carpenter, a young lawyer of Lawrence. The next summer - August, 1863 - I went to visit her in her new home, just finished, a 2-story brick at 943 New Hampshire street. We spent a pleasant two weeks . I together. At noon on the 20 th of August, Mr. Carpenter came home and said, incidentally, "There is a story on the street that Quantrill is coming to Lawrence to destroy it, as he has so long threatened to do. But," he added, "we have had so many reports of that kind no one believes them." Then he said, "It would be impossible for him to get here with his band without our being reliably notified." . Afterward it was found that messages had been sent, but failed to reach the city. One, in excitement, was sent to Kansas City instead of Lawrence. Another messenger, a boy, when he learned the destination of Quantrill's band, mounted his fastest horse and started for Lawrence. The horse fell, leaving the boy crippled and helpless. No news reached to the city of the terrible doom impending. We were aroused at about 5 o'clock Friday morning, Aug. 21 st . The clattering of the hoofs of 400 horses, the shouting and yelling of the riders, the shooting of revolvers, all united, made the most hideous noise we ever had heard. We rushed to the windows and had a full view of this terrible invasion. They saw us and shot at us, as they rushed past our house. They went on to the center of the town, and there they stopped in front of the Eldridge house. They seemed to expect some show of defense. For years, Lawrence never had been so unprotected. The few soldiers there were colored troops, and they fled for their lives .. Our first spoken words were, "Quantrill is here!" We stayed in the house, planning what we could do. Those in the other part of town had a chance to get away, but here every avenue was guarded, and all those who tried to escape were shot down ruthlessly. We watched the Eldridge house burn, and saw fires all over the town. Diagonally across the street, a fine home was burning,and in the next house to ours, a man had been murdered, but his home was saved. Quantrill's band was composed of two kinds of men. His gang was angry, determined to kill every free state man and to wipe Lawrence from the map. Others were farmers whom Quantrill had compelled to join his forces. They were easily convinced they had not found the "right man." They were fed and treated hospitably, and went away satisfied. There was no anger in their hearts. Mr. Carpenter, it was said, by his pleasant manner and tact, had saved his life and the destruction of his home. At about 9 o'clock, we watched the gathering of the clan for its departure, and we began to breathe free again, and to hope we were safe. The men were loaded with loot, and seemed anxious to leave. Just then there came a terrible pounding at our front door, and Mrs. Carpenter opened the door. Mr. Carpenter, coming down the stairs answered the question, 'Where are you from?" He said, "New York," and the man replied, "You New York fellows are the ones we are after." He pushed Mrs. Carpenter aside and rushed up the stairs after Mr. Carpenter, shooting, and swearing atthe top of his voice. They entered different rooms, giving Mr. Carpenter a chance to come down and go to the cellar. There was no protection in the cellar, as the house was new and there were no partitions. Another man had come to help, and each one stationed at a window �controlled every part ofthe cellar. Still they kept on shooting. Mr. Carpenter, bleeding and full of their bullets, left the cellar by the outside steps, and fell in the backyard. Mrs. Carpenter fell over him, covering him, her arms about his head. The two assassins appeared and raising her arms, gave the fatal shot, then left to join the departing forces. Mrs. Carpenter said, "They have fired the house," so I put out the fire. It was one of the most terrible tragedies in all the dreadful work of that day - that dreadful day. I climbed a high fence that I never could have climbed except under great excitement, calling at the top of my voice for help, but there was no response until the band had all left. Left what? One hundred fifty men killed,150 buildings burried, and a million and a half of property destroyed. Left - no pen can tell! When I sh0U!d !ia"V~ finished my visit Mr. Morse was to come for me some Friday and preach for Doctor Cordley the following Sunday. He came that dreadful Friday, aboutthree hours after Quantrill had left. On his way he heard of Mr. Carpenter's death. A rude box was made by our friends, and Mr. CarPenter's body was laid in the yard. . Friday night came, the most terrible night I ever spent. Fires were burning all over the town. The smoke was suffocating, and the barking and howling of dogs helped to make the night frightful. There was no sleep that night. In "Pioneer Days" Doctor Cordley wrote, "So we laid our dead away and turned our attention to the living." The Sunday following we held a service in the old stone Congregational church. There was a large congregation, mostly women and children. Some of the men were in shirt-sleeves, not having saved even a coat, women in sunbonnets, some with hoods or shawls or handkerchiefs over their heads. Many of the women were newly-made widows, there with their fatherless children. There was a brief devotional service, but no sermon. I do not recall [what was said] except the scripture lesson read by Mr. Morse. It was the 79th Psalm. Everyone was startled when he read it. It seemed to have been written for the occasion. Mr. Morse seemed as much inspired in choosing it as the author in writing it. "Oh God, the heathen are come into thine inheritance. The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be meat unto the fowls of the heaven; the flesh of thy saints unto the beasts ofthe earth. Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem, and there was none to bury them." The congregation went away in silence. ................." .. __ CONTACT: Dr. Sam Dicks, 62.0-341-6431 July 24, 2001 __. . _ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Media Relations Home Page Copyright@ 2000 - Emporia State University.

Now that I've gotten your attention, let me pass on my condolences to the memory of many of the historical societies across the United States. "Wait a minute, "you say, "there are still historical societies!" All yes, but how many of them are in the following nearly condition? 1 - Low attendance. Where many used to fill the seats at the monthly . historical or genealogical society meeting, now just the faithful few manage to make it to hear the speaker for the evening? 2 - Lackluster meetings. Remember the stimulating and thought provoking meetings of the past? . Excellent speakers that had you taking minutes, asking questions and learning techniques? Or no speakers, non-genealogical, non-historical, non-promoted get-togethers? 3 - Arthritis syndrome. What is the average age of our memberships? Over SO? Over 60? Over 70? Where are the historical and genealogical experts of the future in our county? 4 Abundance of monies: dread of spending. How many years have many of our societies been meeting? Over 20 years, maybe 40 or more? Been collecting dues and having fund raisers all these years? What has been done with the money? Is it sitting in a bank account, bored to tears? Why isn't it being used to do something to preserve the past for the future? �5 - Family feuds. We all like to say that our genealogical friends are like family don't we? "Cousins" even. Why then are so many historical societies always in an uproar? Squabbling over little things. Not wanting to change anything because it worked in the past just . ! fine. 6Not connected? Not wired? Afraid to venture out into the cyberworld? Still typing your quarterlies on stencils? 7Ingrown officers? Same people doing the saine thing with the same attitudes year after year? No new officers with progressive ideas? Can't find a president if you paid them? If you saw your historical society in any of the above questions, we might be bidding you adieu in the near future. If your society is vibrant, growing and active, you can skip this tip all together. As I meet and correspond with societies all across the United States, I hear more and more of the above complaints. Many good, solid, old societies are literally imploding. Why? There are several reasons that I have discovered and they are hidden in the questions above. Once upon the time in the dark past, the county or area historical society was one of the most vibrant and well attending meetings in town. Yes, there were some that thought us weird for wanting to go to meetings about dead people, cemeteries and old buildings. But on the whole, the historical society was a trusted organization whose meetings were well covered by the press and brought out many of the finest people. Meetings were varied and active. But we failed to do a few things. We ignored the younger people. We became so in love with ourselves that it started to be "our society", and while guests were always welcome, they were not sought after. Then the school systems on large began to take less interest in history. Where history, ancient and American, was required every year in "grade school" (my generation's term), and at least a year or so in high school; now it isn't always offered, or is an elective. Our younger generation is losing contact with its past. Next came the ever-moving society. Where in older times, if we were born in a town, we grew up in that town, we went to school in that town, we married in that town, we raised our children in that town. We had contact with our parents, grandparents, often great-grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins by the dozens.· Story telling was an evening tradition and we heard tales of our family and how it was in the "good old days." We had roots and �they went deep. We knew most everyone in town and likely all about their lives too. We saw the patriotic parades, the honor paid to veterans, heard the church bells ringing and visited over the back fence. Today? We move and move and move. Oh, it's not all bad, my daughters and I have lived in 5 states and IJhouses in the last 29 years. We've made friends, left friends, learned cultures. But at one" time we were in one state, my parents in another, cousins and aunts arid uncles in another and we hadn't seen some of our family for 20 years! Now many are gone and it's too late to ask them about their memories. We just end up feeling connected to nothing, afraid really to put down those roots because it's hard digging them up again. And fmally, came the internet. Instead of reading microfilm and going prematurely into bifocals; driving all over.to visit courthouses and try to find a relative in some little town, we log on the internet and let us take us to far away places. Bad? No! But can you speak out loud to your computer? Can you make the connection with your family as closely as sitting across from the couch with a glass of lemonade? Progress is wonderful. But the average historical society has not kept pace. Many are dying and they have no idea they are terminal. How long has it been since you've been to your local historical society meeting? (I understand that some people are homebound and can't attend, or there is no one close; you are excused). How many times have you volunteered for a project - even suggested one? Even lfyou are not from the area where you live now and have no ties, join in with a society and give them some fresh blood and fresh ideas. Programs are difficult to put together. Sometimes in a smaller community there are not the good speakers that are willing to come out on a rainy or snowy night. Have you thought of maybe paying them to come? Remember all that money in the bank rotting away - we can't take it with us. Investigate some professional genealogical or historical speakers who do charge a fee and dip into the funds a tad. If there's no one that qualifies professionally - what about the older generation? You know the older we get, the more we like to remember (before we can't remember anymore), and we have some wonderful tales of earlier days. Have you thought of asking Granny Jones or Cousin Lum to come and just taik to the society? Tape them, video them, invite the kids! How do you get more members? It is harder now. We have the internet, cable tv, fast moving cars and planes, kids in every organization and sport imaginable and there's little time for anything else in our life. But if you build the field, they will come! Plan something special for your society that can involve the community, young I.l11d old. Picnics, homecomings, old-time pictures, old time crafts show with some of the older or more talented people in the community demonstrating how it used to be done. Don't fight the internet, use it! No queries anymore in your quarterly? �Most of us are zipping out emails by the hundreds to get (hopefully) instant response. We are a "give it to me and give it to me now" people anymore. We can't wait for snail mail, or waiting until the quarterly comes out with your query. Have you considered articles in your quarterly on "how to do internet genealogy"? Or even a beginning computer dours"e at a library I " or someplace with other computer access. Bring some of the younger generation in to help the older generation learn. I correspond via email with several individuals in their 90's! You're not too old to learn. " And lastly, back to money. There's security in a big bank account but it's not helping anything or anyone. Could your society help restore a historic building? Do a historical survey of old structures? Set up a walking or driving tour of the area? Donate to a society or organization that IS doing something and needing funds of a historical nature - maybe even a humanitarian nature? Build a house with Habitat for Humanity? Put on a genealogical symposium, a genealogical book fair? Put together a video production of the area for local television? Write columns for the local" paper? Volunteer at the next meeting even if you are a novice but want to learn? We must start growing and taking our vitamins or we're" out of here" as the youngers say. We will be delegated to the old newspapers our children and grandchildren will be reading in years to come. We serve a useful purpose, or we used to? Do we still? For those reading this tip who are members or officers of a growing and vibrant society, my hat's offto you. Keep it that way! (c) Copyright 6 November 2003, All Rights Reserved.

Horace Austin Warner Tabor, known at the peak of his fame as H.AW., was a stonecutter in his native Vermont before he came to Kansas more than 100 years ago. Born Nov. 26, 1830, in Holland, Vt., he joined a free soil group, and arrived in Kansas in 1856, with his prim and practical New England wife.Augusta. Tabor settled in Riley County, and while there served as a member of the Topeka Legislature, which was dispersed by order of President Franklin Pierce. The Tabors moved to Denver in 1859 and in the following year to California Gulch (now Leadville). While H.AW. hunted for gold and dreamed of wealth, Augusta remained realistic. The lavish life Tabor sought did not appeal to her. After 20 years of poverty, Horace made his fortune in Leadville by purchasing an interest in the Little Pittsburgh silver mine. With a bonanza strike in the Little Pittsburgh, everything he had and touched turned to wealth. At the end of 1879 he sold his interest in the mine for $1 million and bought the Matchless Mine for about $10.000 and purchased half interest in the First National Bank in Denver. Hewas netting $100,000 a month at the time. About this time, Baby Doe, moved to Leadville. Born in Oshkosh, Wis., she was ambitious as well as beautiful and had married the mayor's son, Harvey Doe. He failed to make their Central City, Colo., mine pay offand spent more and more time in beer halls. Eventually ,Baby Doe left him. She·was just 20 and at the height of her beauty when she moved to Leadville. Having heard about fiftyish Tabor and his millions she immediately engineered a "chance" meeting. They did meet, and Tabors wife, who would not accept his wealth, drew more and more apart from Tabor. Finally, H.AW. arranged a divorce and was granted a secret one in Durango. Baby Doe and H.A W. were married secretly in St. Louis in 1882. They returned to Leadville where the local society turned against him in protest of this treatment of Augusta. .31 �Tabor gained more and more wealth. But financial troubles began for him during the panic of 1893 and the struggle over free gold and silver coinage. His fortune collapsed completely in 1896, after his attempt at backing William Jennings Bryan for the presidency on a "Free Silver" platform. An almost joyful Denver expected Ba~y Doe to leave him immediately. But she remained loyal, not only through his lifetime but until her own death on March 7, 1935, when she was found frozen to death on the floor of her cabin at the Matchless Mine. Tabor had died penniless in 1899. Perhaps generations here do not recall the Tabor name, but H.AW.'s kinfolk played a part in the early settlement of Lawrence. H.AW.'s sister, Emily Jane Moys(and Miss· Moys grandmother) resided in Lawrence for 63 years. Mrs. Moys and her husband, William Moys, a soldier of the Civil War, settled in Lawrence. He died Nov. 5, 1869, as a result of wounds received during the war, leaving Mrs. Moys to care for their four children. Mrs. Moys died at her home in Lawrence on May 15, 1920. She had been among the first to come to Kansas, and like others of that early day, came with the avowed intention tp make Kansas a free state. They arrived in Lawrence on April 7, 1857, just three years after the city was founded oil a steamboat from Kansas City. Miss Moys dug into the family history to produce a record of a letter her grandmother had written . concerning Lawrence. Mrs. Moys wrote: "I arrived in Lawrence April 7, 1857.1 have no need to tell you of what Lawrence was at that time. 1 came with my two brothers, John and H.AW.and theirwives~ .. " .. .It was one of those days that wind blew as it did many times in Kansas, a perfect gale all day. My brother said "This is the beauty of Kansas, we always have a breeze." 1 was one of the party that came on the steamboat 'Lightfoot' from Quindaro (near present day Kansas City, Kans.) To Lawrence. These Kansas breezes kept us three days on this trip - a breeze took our boat near the shore, a tree tore down the smoke stack, and our rations were low but now happy we were when we caught the first glimpse of Lawrence. The citizens here, 1 guess were nearly all on the banks of the Kaw ready to give us a royal welcome. They had a little cannon which they fired as a salute, . and those of us who could sing went on deck and sang, 'The Kansas Emigrant Song'. "The first night 1 stayed in Kansas 1 stayed at the home of Mrs. Haskell (mother of Senator D.C. . Haskell). "The next day 1 went to my brother's home, a cabin covered with bark near the lake (Lakeview). Miss Moys recalled hearing that when Quantrill was reported heading for Lawrence, her �grandmother and family were living in the 400 block on Mississippi. "Grandmother put the two children in baby buggy and hurried to the hillswest of tow," Miss Moys said. The hills are those in the country club terrace area. "Tabor was very kind to his sister. After her husband died, he returned to Lawrence and bought her a home at 331 Ind. St. and the lots around it," Miss Moys recounted. "My great uncle kept in touch with his sister. Baby Doe did too. Grandmother went to Colorado to visit them once," she related. H.A.W's father, Cornelius Dunham Tabor, lived out his remaining years in Lawrence. He died July 13, 1888. in Denver while visiting his son. But was returned to Lawrence and is buried in Oak Hill Cemetery~ . Miss Moys, a lifelong resident of Lawrence, is excited about seeing the opera. She has had arrangements made for opening night. Miss Moys was in charge of the reserve desk at Watson Library on the KU campus for 20 years. She resigned in 1947. Among her many interests is painting in oils. A number of her paintIngs .decorate the living room of her home. Guest director from New York especially for the production is Bill Butler, a native Kansas, born in Eureka, Butler received his A.B. degree in English at UCLA, graduating cum laude. The Broadway director is well known in New York for his work in both opera and theater. He has worked with the Phoenix Theater, New York City Opera, Santa Fe Opera and NBC-TV Opera on tour. It was his work in Santa Fe with Kansas University's orchestra conductor Robert Baustian that led to the invitation to direct an opera production at KU The production has been designed by Herbert Camburn of the KU staff Leading roles in the cast of nearly fifty students are: Ron Highley, Kansas City Mo., senior as H.A.W. Tabot; Sharon Tebbenkamp, Salisbury, Mo., sophomore as Augusta Tabor; Mary Lou Powell, Topeka senior as Baby Doe;; and Janet Wagner, Belleville, Ill., sophomore as Mrs McCourt (Baby'S mother). 33 �DOUGLAS COUNTY LAND OWNERS, 1857 This infonnation was on a floppy disk from pasttimes.

PIONEER CEMETERY - BALDWIN CITY,KS Documentation & Research The Pioneer Cemetery contains the remains of many of the earliest settlers to the Baldwin area. There has been no intennents since 1920, so many of the families of the deceased are no longer in the immediate area to maintain oversight of the graves. As you qm see from the following table, most of the burials were during the earliest history of the area.· BURIALS BY DECADE 5 1850's 65 1860's 29 1870's 16 1880's· 1890's 1900's 1910's 1920's 9 8 3 1 Some research has been done at several times in the past to document the burials in Pioneer Cemetery, but some of that infonnation is no longer readily available .. The copy of the original plot map of the cemetery is at the Baldwin Public Library. The deterioration of many of the tombstones through erosion and vandalism is taking its toll. It has become obvious that photographing all the tombstones is a way of retaining the infonnation contained thereon, even if the tombstone were to disappear. This work has been completed and a copy each of these photographs is now available at the Baldwin City Library. In 1969, the administration of the cemetery was assumed by the Oakwood Cemetery Board. Because there was no documentation as to exact locations of the burials, the "lost tombstones" were gathered and placed into a row at the front of the cemetery. This was a nice gesture, but it would have been nice if a more detailed cemetery lay-out would have permitted restoration of the tombstones at the site of the original burial. By mapping all the tombstones and determinitig the lot locations for all remaining tombstones, it is hoped that any future need to identify burial locations will permit re-installation of the stone very near the original location. During the more intensive effort to photograph and locate the tombstones, we have found 6 tombstones that were reported as lost and two additional interments that did not show up on any previous list ofburiaL'i at Pioneer Cemetery. Unfortunately, we also found that 2 stones previously on lists, could no longer be found .. The. detailed listing that has been created gives a better 0PPOI1Unity to identify any disappearances, and with the photograph, to show the public what is missing and what it looked like. Gathering infonnation about these pioneers of Baldwin ar·ea, permits us to better understand our heritage and share it with future generations. Infonnation about many of these pioneers has been assembled with the photographs, such that researchers may fmd more than just a name. Civil War service has been identified with 9 of the I;>urials .. �BACKGROUND FACTS: 1. ·PIONEER CEMETERY CONSISTS OF 20 ACRES (660' X 1320') Capable of holding about 6~600burials,...
