This is the assertion of V. Robert Westover, assistant professor of Indian education at Brigham Young University who is teaching a summer term class tn Indian genealogy. Eighteen Indians representing eight tribes are currently enrolled in the class. Last winter semester, Professor Westover taught what he believes was the first university class in the nation in Indian genealogy. A total of 31 students representing 11 tribes took the class, and about one-sixth of the class found they were related as they worked on fourgeneration research. BYU has more than 500 Indians searching for their fall and winter semester. IIGood news for Indians searching for their ancestors is the current microfilmi.ng of National Archives records by The Church of Jesus Chri st of Latter-day Saints Genea 1ogi ca 1 Soci.ety in Salt Lake City, II Mr. Westover said. These important records, approximately 2,500 microfilm rolls, will be at the library within the year. They will include census and other important records such as emigration, enrollment and annu ity rolls, 1a nd allotment, probate records, etc. II The library already has one of the largest collections of Indian records in the United States and will have the largest in one and one half years. At the present time, the library has 1,154 rolls of microfilm--the equivalent of about 125,000 pieces of manuscript documents. The number of rolls will increase to 3,400 when the National Archives microfilming is completed, Mr. Westover said. Genealogical Society is also purchasing four to five million pages of Indian documents from the Oklahoma Historical Society. In addition, microfilming of records is also being done in .educational institutions, private Indian collections, church mission records, BIA and tribal records and the public archives of Canada. IIContrary to what most people believe, there are many records available from which Indians may find genealogical information,1I the • genealogy instructor said. lilt is usually possible to trace American Indian lines ,back several generations. 1I <:' However, he admitted, there are SOme unique problems encountered in American Indian records. IIThere is a scarcity of birth, death and marriage record for Indians,1I he reported .. IIIndian census was started in about 1880. Records prior to that time ~re mostly from tribal rolls, land allotment records, church or mis~ion records and hospital records. Researchers must also be aware of tribal family structure--whether it is matriarchal or patriarchal. 1I 57 �Mr. Westover said most Indian families have kept word-ofmouth histories of their ancestors. But for students to record these histories, t,hey must usually seek relatives on the reservation. Some of the older Indians' religious beliefs forbid talking about the dead. This often makes them reluctant to tell researchers about their ancestors. II II , "!" Naming customs also causes some problems. "Generally, there are two classes of names: true, or personal', names; and fitles or honorary names," Mr. Westover said. "Naming customs may vary from tribe to tribe. Some tribes may have a clan system with a unique set of names for each clan." He pointed out that names are sometimes applied in a definite order to boys and girls born to a couple among the Sioux, for example, or children may be named according to a dr.eam of the father (Delaware). "Names of children were announced at potlatches by the Haida and Tlingit Indians of the Northwest and Western Canada, while the Navajo often used a nickname referring to a personal characteristic." Personal names may have been given or changed at birth, puberty, first war expedition, some notable feast, chieftanshi~ or retirement from active life .. "But many of these problems can be overcome if the researchers become aware of changes of names as well as getting to the correct source of the native customs and methods of reckoning descent," he added. "S ome Indians have found their ancestors so far back that they come up with only a single name--not a first and last name." Another major difficulty is the variety of kinship systems found among Indian tribes. Kinship terms may vary among the different tribes. For instance, in the same generation, the term "father" may also apply to the father, uncle, stepfather, or prospective father. "Sister" could mean sister,first cousin, stepsister, half-sister~ daughter or prospective daughter. . "Then there is the problem of 'paper Indians' and'non-paper Indiclns,'" Westover said. "'Paper Indians' were those who lived under government supervision for whom records were created and kept. 'Non-paper Indians' were those who lived among the 'paper Indians' but who did not accept nor comply with the government programs. Therefore, no records were created for them." Mr. Westover explained that Indians who want to find their roots should start with their area agencies of the Department of Interior. "Individuals may find it necessary to obtain a letter from a tribal leader in order to get agency cooperation, but it is possible," he said. "These agency or subagency offices of the BIA usually have good genealogical information. Since the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934, many tribes have created and preserved their own genealogical records." The professor said that another important help for Indians seeking their roots is to be on the tribal rolls. "Students whose ancestors are 58 �on the tribal rolls may receive financial aid for going to college. Some tribes even have allotments coming from tribal businesses or from leasing oi 1, gas or mi nera 1 ri ghts . II . He explained to students another problem in Indian research. IIMost of the history of the tribes has been written by non-Indians because the tribes did not have a written language. Of the five so-called 'civilized ' tribes--Cherokee, Chocktaw, Chikasaw, Creek and Seminole-only the Cherokees had a written language, and that was after 1800. 11 Today, however, more than 200 tribes have written languages. He summarizes the procedure for ancestry investigation as follows: 1. Obtain as much information as possible from living relatives; 2. Determine tribal affiliation by using IIBiographic and Historical Index of Americans and Persons Involved in Indian Affairs or IIHandbook of American Indians North of Mexico ll ll ; 3. Search the Indian census rolls (1884-1940) available on microfilm; 4. Search records of the agency office in charge of the records of the particular area and tribe in question; 5. Search the records of the National Archives and the Federal Record Cente~(-s) of the region in which the tribe in question is located; 6. Search the records of any churches ~hich may have been active in missionary work among the tribal groups in question. Mr. Westover sees a bright future for Indian students at BYU interested in genealogical research. IIStudents could even work their way through college doing research for others or indexing the records as they come to the BYU library or to the tribal agency or headquarters. 1I This article appeared in the August 31,1978 Window Rock, Arizona IINAVAJO TIMES II and copied with their permission.

Until this year, I believed that such an exciting possibility was very remote. Then, my husband, a history professor, found out that we would be going overseas for eighteen months where he would be teaching on an Exchange Program in Ireland and doing research in France. This was my chance not only to visit, but to actually live in the countries of my ancestors! IRELAND Probably nowhere on earth is there a place with friendlier or more helpful people than in Ireland. This was my first impression when we arrived and did not change once in the six months that we lived there. As I did research concerning my great-grandfather who was born in Ireland in 1822 and emigrated to the U.S. during the Irish famine of 1845-50, I found that everyone went out of their way to help me. In a country where life is slow-paced, people still take the time to be neighborly. Knowing only the name of thetownland where my great-grandfather was born, I went to the Genealogical Office at Dublin Castle where the staff helped me locate the name of the parish of that townland. The next weekend we visited in that parish and the rector of the church kindly let us examine the old parish records.* What an exciting experience it was to find my great-grandfather's baptismal record there along with those of his brother's and sister's! But almost as thrilling was to walk through the beautiful valley where he was born, stand in the now deserted church where he was baptized, see the copper mines where he worked and especially talk with. the local people whose own ancestors had lived in that area for centuries. As I stood in the cemetery where his baby sister was buried so long ago, I tried to imagine the . hardships which the family must have undergone and which forced them eventually to seek abetter life in America. (It is interesting to note that sometimes before a family emigrated to America, the Irish would .give a party which they called an "American Wake" because they thought that the emigrants were as unlikely to return as the dead!)' Probably the biggest disappointment for me in my research in Ireland was the shortage of public records due to the fact that a great number of records at the Public Record Office in Dublin were destroyed in 1921. However, if one's ancestors were larid owners, some information can usually be found at the Registry of Deeds. Most of the Catholic parish records are on microfilm at the National Library (Dublin) and Protestant records are usually kept in their own parish churches. The Society of Friends (Quakers) kept very complete records on their. members and also kept information about their relief work during the Famine. *Note: It is , customary to give the rector or priest two or three pounds (about five dollars) for his help in consulting the records. 1 Dillon, Eilis, Across the Bitter Sea, p. 495. 60 �An IIIndex to Protestant Marriages ll was begun in 1845 and can be consulted at the Custom House, Dublin. In my experience, the local newspapers are an important resource not to be overlooked, since a short letter to the Editor with a request for information about an ancestor may bring unexpected benefits and perhaps be the beginning of a fascinating correspondence with a distant Irish relative! ENGLAND Stopping in England for only a week, I was not able to do research in any depth, but I found that there is a great wealth of information to be consulted in the Public Record Office (London). The branch at Kew Gardens is ultra-modern and the staff quite helpful. The Vital Statistics Office (St. Catherine's House, London) has Birth, Marriages and Deaths indexed for all of England and Wales back to the 1830 ' s. Some parish records in England go back to the 1500 ' s and many have been publish~d, such as those published by the Yorkshire Parish Register Society. SWITZERLAND In this beautiful country of snow-capped mountains and broad green valleys, I spend a week searching for information about my great-great grandmother, who left Switzerland in 1821 with one hundred and fifty other colonists. I knew that she was born in a small village in the Swiss Jura. But, despite the fact that I kn~w her place of birth, birthdate, names of her children etc., it was extremely difficult to locate her records. And, once they were located, it was almost as difficult to convince the officials that I should be allowed to see them. The Swiss have kept very good records, some dating back to the 1500 ' s. How~ver, many of the civil records, such as the IIFeuille de Famille - Extrait des Registre des bourgeoisll2, are kept at a person's IIplace of originll and not IIplace of birth.IIAccording to what I was told by Swiss officials, IIplace of originll is where a person's ancestors came from no matter where he or they were born. As I did not know this important IIplace of originll concerning my ancestor, I decided to focus on her parish records instead. Unfortunately, these were no longer kept at the parish church and it took several days to finally trace them to the apartment of the former civil. official who had kept the twenty-six volumes so secret that the present civil official didn't even know they existed! It took a police order before the records were finally released to the present official. Even then we were not sure that we would be able to see them as it is customary for the civil official to check the records himself and charge a fee for each name searched. However, for some reason, perhaps because of our persistence and the fact that my husband spoke French, we were finally allowed to examine the records ourselves. I was delighted that in the space of one day I was able to trace my family back three more generations to the 1680 ' s. 2 IIFeuille de Famille - Extrait du Registre des bourgeoisll - A document fil ed on each fami ly at the 1I0ffi ce d 1 Etat Ci villi of the family 1 s IIpl ace 'of originll and showing names and vital dates of husband and wife their parents, children etc. ' 61 �As we arrived in the small village where my great-great grandmother was born, I had the strange sensation,' for a moment, that I was seeing it again with her eyes and that the villagers, many of whom are no doubt related to me, would come up and welcome me to the village which had been home to my family for nearly two hundred years. But, time had erased dwellings as well as memories and I realized 'that to these people, I was only a stranger, a foreigner, unable even to speak their language. Yet, in Switzerland as well as Ireland, I had found something more than vital records; I had also discovered new pieces of my identity. In seeing first hand the countries and peoples which had contributed to making my ancestors what they were, I have gained a better idea of my own heritage. Now it is with enthusiasm that I look forward to research in France. Who knows what may be discovered in the records or in the villages of this my ancestral home? Judy M. Sweets Appt.

Wintle Contributed by Irma Kidwell, Lawrence, Kansas 62 �EX-GOVERNOR CHARLES ROBINSON Charles Robinson, the first governor of Kansas, was born at Hardwick, Massachusetts, July 21,1818. His father, Jonathan Robinson, was a native of Massachusetts, and was of Pilgrim stock. He received a good education in the common schools of New England, and was a prosperous farmer. He was strictly religious, and was especially an anti-slavery man, believing that the institution of slavery was in violation of all the laws of God; that no man should be deprived of his liberty except for crime; and was bold in his denunciations of the institution, irrespective of consequences. He was one of the few who broke off from his old party affiliations and supported James G. Birney for president in 1840, and ever afterward was associated with the Liberty party. He died at Spencer, Massachusetts, in 1860. His mother, who maiden name was Huldah Woodward, was eminently a religious woman. She was of a most amiable, gentle disposition, never known to exhibit anger, but of great force of character and executive ability, managing her large family with wonderful success and impressing upon their youthful minds the most lasting affection for the teachings and memory of a good mother, to whom Governor Robinson attributes much of his success in li'fe. She died at West Brookfield, Massachusetts, in 1869. The parents had ten children, six sons and four daughters--of whom Governor Robinson was the eighth--four of whom are living and occupying respectable positions in society, all of them men and wo~en of energy, intelligence and usefulness. Governor Robinson was educated in the common schools of.New England, as well as in select or private schools until he was about seventeen years old, when he entered Hopkins Academy, afterward Amherst Academy, and then Amh~rst College, where he remained about two years. On account of ill health, his eyes being affected by hard study, he left college and walked about forty miles to Keene, New Hampshire, to consult a celebrated physician, Dr. Twichell, where he became so impressed with the importance of the medical profession in its relations to humanity, and especially to the quackery of the age and the lack of investigation, that he seemed impelled to that pursuit; and he at once entered Dr. Twichell's office as a student and abandoned college to commence the career of a physician. One reason for his anxiety to commence a career of usefulness to himself was the fact that he was compelled to teach school during the college vacations to pay the expense of tuition, and he was anxious to acquire as early as possible a situation of se1freliance and support where he could repay the kindness of his benefactor~. He remained in Dr. Twichell's office about one year, and afterward entered the office of Dr. Gridley, ~t Amherst, remaining there for two years; he then attended medical lectures at Woodstock, Vermont, and Pittsfield, Massachusetts, graduating at the latter place and receiving his diploma as an M.D. Having thus prepared himself he commenced the practice of medicine at Belchertown, Massachusetts, in 1843. At that time the town was one of the most intelligent and prosperous in that part of the state, with old practitioners of eminence, but he at once secured a large practice, with so much of riding and exposure that his health broke down~ and in two years he removed to Springfield with the 63 �intention of abandoning practice; but after a short residence there, attempted to retire from business, with a view to watching other interests, but having been followed by many of his former patients and becoming known as a physician and frequently being called upon for advice and prescriptions, he opened a hospital, in connection with Doctor J. G. Holland, and again entered upon the practice, continuing for about a year,when he removed to Fitchburg, where he remained until 1849, when his health failed. When he had determined to abandon the practice altogether, the California gold excitement broke out and it occurred to him that he might benefit his health by a change of climate and at the same time join a California company asa physician, and that year he was selected as physician for a colony~-the very first from Massachusetts to go to the golden shores. The party arrived at Kansas City the lOth of April, and on the lath of May left with ox and mul e teams by the Kans.as ri ver route. On the 11th of May, 1849, ri di ng his horse ahead of his party, he ascended Mount Oread, where the State University now stands, and which he afterward pre-empted, making a note in his journal as he surveyed the surroundings to the effect that if the land was open to settlement he should go no further, so completely was he impressed with the country, the beauty of the scenery and all its surroundings. It seems like romance that, when the Missouri Compromise was repealed, the reading of the important journal in which this expres~don was inserted, should have lead the Emigrant Aid Society to select him as the leader to head the advance guard of the army of freedom, which was to open the way, not only the stay of the onward tide of slavery, but to the war, and the entire destruction of an institution which had cursed the country for over two hundred years. But onward went the cavalcade of goldhunters, the plains then swarming with adventurers, enthusiastic in their love for gold, and the party arrived at Sacramento on the 17th of August. He tried mining for about two weeks, and then followed various pursuits,:at one time keeping an eating house with great success, but losing all by the great Sacramento flood. He also started a newspaper called the IIMiner's and Settler's Tribune,1I which he published until he entered the Legislature. In 1850, having expressed some sympathy with the squatters on what was claimed as the Sutter Grant, he became involved in the controversy. He was made president of the Squatter's Association, was prompt to protect the squatters in their rights, and thus came in collision with the specu1 ators, by whom he was shot through the body and. thrown into prison, charged with murder, assault and conspiracy. While thus charged and on the prison ship he was elected to the Legislature and served one term. He there made the acquaintance of John C. Fremont, a~d did what he could to re-elect him to the Senate of the United States. He left San Francisco about the first of July, 1851, and on the night of the 4th of the same month the vessel, IIUnion,1I was wrecked about three hundred miles below San Francisco, having struck the rocks; the vessel became a total wreck, and the passengers escaped in the life-boats, saving the provisions and gold dust; but they found themselves upon a barren coast without any knowledge as to the locality until a Mexican appeared who informed them. He was appointed on a committee to protect the rights of the passengers and libel the steamer in their behalf. On arriving at the Isthmus he was employed as physician by the steamer 64 �Crescent City, which had on board a large number of sick laborers from the Panama Railroad, which was the~ in process of construction. The steamer reached Havana on the day of the execution of Lope~, and he saw the place of his executior as well as that of his men who had been shot before him. He returned to Fitchburg and determining not to enter again upon the practice of medicine, commenced the publication, in 1852, of the "Fitchburg News," an independent anti-slavery newspaper which he continued for two years, but having frequent calls upon him as a physician, he concluded to sellout and abandon the paper and devote himself to his profession, which he continued with good success until the breaking out of the Kansas excitement, on the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, when he was sent by the New England Aid Society to Kansas in June, 1854, to prepare the way for settlement by emigrants from New England. In the controversy which succeeded the settlement of Kansas he became a leader of the free-state forces, whose counsel and support was always sought, and when what was known as the "Wakarusa war" broke out in November, 1855, and Lawrence was besieged by twelve hundred.pro-slavery men and about six hundred free-state men rallied to the defense, he was chosen as major-general of the forces, and participated actively in' the defense of the city. He aided in the construction of forts, or rifle pits, supplied provisions, and was really at the head of the organized volunteers during that campaign. For two Emigrant Aid . the erection schools, and or three years he was manager of all the business of the Society at Lawrence and some other points, and superintended of saw mills, the location ,of toWns, the establishm~nt of serving in all other capacities. In the stimmer of 1855, after the free-state men had been driven from the poll s and the government of the territory fraudul ently usurped by pro-slavery men from Missouri, he was among the first to take position against the enforcement of the "bogus laws." On the 4th day of July he delivered an oration in the grove about Lawrence to a very large audience, many of them pro-slavery men, replete with ringing words in denunciation of slavery. In the summer of 1855, the free-state men, despairing of getting their rights under the organic act of the Territory, through the Legislature, determined to seek a remedy by organizing a state government, and provided for a constitutional convention, which met at Topeka, November, 1855. He was unanimously elected a delegate to that convention, and was one of its most active members, and on the adoption of the constitution by a vote of the people he was elected Governor of the proposed State. The Legislature met twice:in the year 1856, and the meeting of the 4th of July of that year was dispersed by Colonel Sumner. In the spring of 1856, when the difficulties broke out with renewed fury, he was prominent among the most courageous men in opposition to the iniquitous laws of the bogus Legislature, and was indicted for treason by the pro-slavery courts, and arrested at Lexington, Missouri, carried ~o Lecompton, and h~l~ a prisoner in the camps of the United States troops, ln tents on the pralrles from the 9th of May to the 10th of September. The free-state, people keeping up their organization, he was unanimously 65 �elected Governor under the Topeka constitution. On the adoption of the Wyandotte constitution he was elected Governor of Kansas, and on the admission of the State into the Union, January 29,1861, he assumed the duties of Governor and held the position until the second Tuesday in January, 1863. In 1872 he was elected to the House of Representatives. in 1864 he was elected to the State Senate, and re~~lected in 1876. Governor Robinson has been one of the most liberal friends of education in Kansas. He organized the first free school and paid its teacher, Edward Fitch, who opened a school in January, 1855, in a straw and sod house on the bank of the Kansas river at the north end of Massachusetts street, Lawrence, Kansas. He has held various positions in the local schools. He located the first site of a college where the original structure of the Kansas State University stands, and eventually contributed largely toward the advancement of the present institution by donations and otherwise, and he has held the office of regent of the State University for thirteen years, being among the most efficient and useful of its officers. He has been prominent in railroad enterprises, and was for several years a director of the Leavenworth, Lawrence and Galveston Railroad Company. Governor Robinson has always been a, thorough anti-slavery man and supported the Free Soil party until the organization of the Republican party, when he became a Republican. He was an ardent friend of General John C. Fremont, and it was in response to a letter from Governor Robinson to Fremont that the latter first became a candidate for president in 1856; he supported Lincoln in 1860 and 1864, and General Grant in 1868, but went for Horace Greeley in 1872. He may be regarded as independent in politics, but generally agreeing with the principles of the Republican party, especially in its policy in regard to slavery. In November, 1843, he was married at West Brookfield, Massachusetts, to Miss Sarah Adams, a very estimable and accomplished lady, the daughter of Mr. William Adams, a prosperous, intelligent farmer of Massachusetts. They had two chi 1dren', both of whom di ed in infancy. Thi s 1ady di ed January 17,1846. He was married October 30,1851, to Miss Sarah T.D. Lawrence, daughter of Hon. Myron Lawrence, a distinguished lawyer and statesman of Massachusetts, who was for many years a senator in the State Legislature and was for several years president of the Senate. He was an active member of the Congregational church, whose precepts and example left a deep impression upon the community, and whose death was lamented as a public loss. He was a member of the celebrated Lawrence family of Massachusetts; of whom Hon. Abbott Lawrence, minister to England, and Hon. Amos A. Lawrence, in whose honor the city of Lawrence, Kansas, was named, and who has nobly contributed to the schools and other enterprises of that city, are no~able examples. Her mother was Clarissa Dwight, who was a descendant of the Dwight and Hawley families of Western Massachusetts, of whom Hon. Timothy Dwight, President of Yale College, was a prominent and worthy example. The family has a genealogy of two volumes octavo, twelve hundred pages, tracing its origin back to John Dwight, of Dedham, embracing among its number many men of great learning and ability, statesmen and scholars whose names have become immortal in the history of the nation for their services to the country and mankind. Mrs. Robinson is a lady of culture and 66 �accomplishments, and of excellent literary tastes; one of the first and most interesting books on Kansas having been written by her, and universally read -by lovers of freedom, as among the best descriptive works upon the character of the new Territory, and the objects and struggles of free-state men. When her husband was arrested at Lexington, Missouri, in 1856, she pursued her journey eastward, carrying with her the official proceedings of the congressional committee of investigation, and safely delivered them to the proper custodians. She afterward returned.to her husband in prison and remained with him until he was released. ' Governor Robinson is a man of about medium height, of good address, and a courteous gentleman in his social relations. As a speaker he is solid and argumentative,:illustrating his subjects with appropriate and strong comparisons rather than attempting flights of oratory, but always securing audiences and enlisting the attention of his hearers for the boldness of his utterances and the genuine ability of his address. But few men, perhaps none, have addressed the people of Kansas through so many trying circumstances and with such eminent success. He was bold in his denunciation of, and forcible resistance to, the so-called laws foisted upon the people by Missouri invasion, promptly declaring that no mere pretended civil officer should enforce a writ, while he was prudent in counseling against resistance to Federal authority, and even while in prison sent out a statesman-like document of counsel to the beleaguered and oppressed free-state men, who, it was believed, were determined to rescue him and other free-state prisoners at all hazards. Governor Robinson resides with his family in a pleasant mansion four miles north of Lawrence, where he is engaged in cultivating one of the largest and best farms in Kansas, perhaps no body of land excelling it in fertility and beauty. HON. SIDNEY CLARKE. Lawrence The ancestors of Mr. Clarke were among the oldest settlers of New England, and staunch supporters of the Colonial cause during the American Revolution. His grandfather was an officer under General Gates at the battle of Stillwater, and was present at the surrender of the British army under General Burgoyne at Saratoga. His father served in the war of 1812, and was a prominent citizen of his county; his mother was a woman of fine mind, true piety and great energy of character. They had seven children, of whom Sidney, born at Southbridge, Worcester county, Massachusetts, October 16,1831, was the youngest. He did not enjoy the advantages of a liberal education, and at eighteen years of age left the farm and the district school to engage in mercantile pursuits at Worcester, in his native State. ~hile thus employed he began to write for the press, and was soon recognlzed as a versatile and forcible contributor. It was at this time that he became an active member of a literary society, composed of you~g men ~ho had, in the main, been denied the advantages of a liberal educatlon, but who, embracing this and similar opportunities for culture in a great measure supplied that lack. Mr. Clarke soon took a prominent' position in the society asa debater. 67 �In 1854 he returned to his native town and became the editor and proprietor of the "Southbridge Press," a weekly newspaper, which he published for five years. During this time he took an active part in politics, identifying himself with the Free Soil party. His first vote was cast for Hale and Julian, in 1852. In 1856 he was a warm supporter of General Fremont for the Presidential chair, and rendered efficient service throughout that memorable campaign as an editor and effective public speaker. In the spring of 1858, acting under the advice of his physician to seek a more genial climate, he came into the Territory of Kansas, visited its best settled sections, and becoming deeply interested in the future of that historic commonwealth, determined to make it his home, and the following spring settled at Lawrence, Douglas county. During the first two years of his residence in Kansas, Mr. Clarke became actively engaged in political affairs, warmly supporting the Radical wing of the Free State party. In 1862 he was elected to a seat in the State Legislature, where he at once rose to prominence among the able men who composed that body. In 1863 he was appointed Assistant Adjutant General of Volunteers, by President Lincoln, and was at once assigned to duty in the Bureau of the Provost Marshal General as acting Assistant Provost Marshal General for the District of Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado and Dakota, with headquarters at Fort Leavenworth. In the administration of this office he was recognized as an efficient and popular officer. In the strict enforcement of the enrollment act, and in superintending the volunteer recruiting service in a widely extended district, his office was a model of organization and efficiency. At the Republican State Convention in the fall of 1863, Mr. Clarke was chosen chairman of the Republican State Central Committee, a position previously held by the ablest of the old free-state leaders. From this date his record has been one of ceaseless activity and constantly enlarging usefulness in the political affairs of the State. So long as General Lane was accepted as the exponent of radical ideas, Mr. Clarke sympathized with and supported him, and when the Legislature of 1864 supplanted him by irregularly electing Governor Thomas Carney United States Senator, Mr. Clarke went before the people and promptly denounced the election as fraudulent, illegal and the fruit of a conspiracy. The campaign which followed, fully established his reputation for political sagacity, and the action of the Legislature was overwhelmingly repudiated. In the presidential campaign of 1864 Mr. Clarke canvassed the State for Mr. Lincoln's re-election, and by the state convention of his party, September 8, 1864, was nominated as a candidate for the 39th.Congress. Though bitterly opposed by the malcontents of his party, who coalesced with the Democrats for his defeat, he was elected over General Albert L. Lee, the opposition candidate, by more than fifteen hundred majority. He was re-nominated for the 40th Congress by acclamation, and elected by a majority of over 11,000. Again renominated, he was seated for his third Congressional term by 17,000 majority. Mr. Clarke was always alive to the interests of his constituency while in Congress, and was an able, faithful and zealous representative of the needs of a Commonwealth extensive in territory, with diversified local interests and 68 �rapidly developing resources. As chairman of the House Committee on Indian Affairs and as a member of the Pacific Railroad.committee, he distinguished himself by fidelity to the rights and interests of the great body·of the people. His first speech in Congress was made in favor of impartial suffrage in the District of Columbia, and he has always advocated such legislation as represents the advanced Republican ideas. He participated in all the leading conflicts which made the history of Congress memorable during the six years that he served in that body, and at the same time assiduously labored to secure such legislation as would promote the development of the State he represented. Mr. Clarke was defeated for the Congressional nomination in 1870, by a small majority, the opposition mainly arising on account of his hostility to the Osage treaty, by which an attempt was made to give certain railroad corporations 8,000,000 acres of the best lands of the State. This action he deemed prejudicial to the interests of settlers, the cause of free schools and the good of the State at large. In the ensui~g . winter he was defeated for the United States Senate by the free use of money, upon which he secured an investigation by the National Senate, which he prosecuted until the Kansas Senator-elect resigned his seat. Since the expiration on his term in Congress he has been engaged with his mining interests in Colorado, in.railroad business and in literary pursuits. In 1878 Mr. Clarke was brought out by numerous friends without his knowledge or solicitation and elected as a representative in the State Legislature from Lawrence, by about three-fourths of all the votes in that populous and important district. On the assembling of the Legislature in January, 1879, he was elected speaker of the House by a very large majority--a position which he still holds. Mr. Clarke is of an active, nervous temperament, endowed with great powers of physical and mental endurance. In one of his political campaigns in Kansas, in less than thirty days he made nearly seventy speeches, traveling in an open carriage over twelve hundred miles, visiting the ~ost remote sections of the State, and conducted his labors apparently unfatigued. He has devoted himself with great industry and sagacity to the development of the material resources of Kansas, and has been especially watchful in protecting her people from the encroachments of the great land and other monopolies which in all Western States have had to be repeatedly resisted. While doing this, he has made enemies whose influence has been felt in the opposition he has encountered in public life; but Mr. Clarke has the proud consciousness of having done his duty to his State, and while resisting all unwise legislation for private ends, has always aided every reasonable effort to promote public or private improvements. CAPTAIN ISAAC NEWTON VAN HOESEN. Lawrence. Isaac N. Van Hoesen was born at Kinderhook, Columbia county, New York, December 26, 1841. His parents were Isaac W. and Jane (Cornell) 69 �Van Hoesen. Isaac W. Van Hoesen was born in the State of New York in 1806, and is still living at Macomb, Illinois, and by descent wa's a Hollander. He has passed through many vicissitudes of fortune, but notwithstanding he has attained the advanced age of seventy-three years, is still in possession of the finest business qualities. His life has been devoted to business pursuits, in which he has been eminently successful. His wife was a native of Schoharie county, New York, and died at ~1acomb, Illinois, in 1873, ages seventy years. They had five children, of whom the subject of this sketch was the youngest. The education of Isaac N. was limited to about a year at a normal school in Hudson, New York. He applied himself studiously to acquiring knowledge outside of the schools, and has added to his limited school acquirements by his own application until he has become a man of varied acquisitions in general knowledge, of a great deal of reading and research, and is among our best posted men in all the essential elements of a good, practical business education. He had a natural taste for drawing and painting, made considerable advance in these arts, and, but for the absorption of his time in active business pursuits, would have become an expert. His good taste crops out still in his characteristics through 1ife. His father removed from Hudson, New York, to Mount Vernon, Ohio, in 1854, and from thence to Macomb~ Illinois, in 1856. His health being poor, he studied denistry. The restraints of a rather feeble constitution were not sufficient to prevent him from taking a part in the struggle of the country for the perpetuity of the Union on the basis of universal liberty, and in August, 1861, he enlisted in Captain W.F. Bayne's company, which rendezvoused at St. louis, and was incorporated into the 10th Regiment Missouri Volunteer Infantry, under Colonel Chester Harding, which performed duty along the line of the Missouri Pacific and North Missouri Railroads until Apri1,1862. This was principally in noticing the movements of guerrillas, embracing most dangerous and thrilling exploits, where assisinations were frequent, requiring the most vigilant watchfulness, without opportunity for fair fields of fight, with little glory to the soldier proportionate to the danger, but when at the time indicated, the command was released from this perilous but apparently profitless campaign and sent to Cape Girardeau and thence to Pittsburg Landing, the really hard part of soldiering commenced. He was with Pope's command in pursuit of the rebels after the evacuation of Corinth. During his service he was personally actually in the following hard-fought battles, besides innumerable skirmishe~ and scouting parties: Corinth during its si~ge; Iuka, Corinth October 3 and 4, 1863, Raymond, Jackson, Champi on Hi 11 s, B1 ack Ri ver, Vi cksburg May 22, 1863, Chattanooga and Mission Ridge. His regiment was in the direst of the conflict at Jackson, Champion Hills and Mission Ridge, suffering terrible losses, through all of which he passed without a scratch, when hundreds fell on every side. He was detailed for duty as acting sergeant-major in 1862, was promoted to be second lieutenant Co. B, January 2, 1863, and to be first lieutenant in August of the same year, and for gallant service on the battlefield of Mission Ridge, promoted to be captain of Co. G, in the same regiment, November 26, 1863. He commanded in all the before-stated engagements except the first battle of Corinth and Iuka, and was honorably mustered out of the service at St. Louis, August 24, 1864, at the expiration-of his term of enlistment. 70 �Since the war he has been one of the most successful, indefatigable, enterprising business men, engaged as a general agent of the celebrated . firm of C. H. & L. J. r~cCormick, in the sale of their celebrated harvestlng machines. He came to Kansas in 1866, locating at Manhattan, removed thence to Leavenworth, where he resided in 1~69, 1870 and part of 1871, whence he removed to Lawrence and built the warehouse now occupied by him. Here he has established a business co-extensive with the State, embracing a large number of agencies in different localities, and aggregating half a million of dollars per annum. He was married at Rushville, Illinois, February 24, 1869, to Miss Rilla L. Bagby. They have had three children. They lost a little son by death since their residence in Lawrence, an interesting and beautiful child. Captain Van Hoesen has been essentially a business man, not only not seeking office, but eschewing public position, but his fine business qualities prompted the people of Lawrence to his election as mayor of the city, which he still holds (1879), and has made a most efficient, liberal officer, taking great pride in every movement for the advance of the city's welfare, refusing to accept any salary. He is also president of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce.· Very few persons in Lawrence take more pride in its fame and the advancement of its charitable and educational institutions. WILLIAM McDOWELL NACE. Lecompton. William M. Nace was born September 19, 1826, at Buchanan, Virginia. His grandfather, John C. Nace, was a captain in the war for independence; and his father, William Nace, was a soldier in the war of 1812. Both of them were prominent Virginia farmers or planters. His mother,Hester C. Fringer, w~s a well educated, intelligent, Christian woman and a member of the Presbyterian church, in which her husband was a rulingelder for many years. William McDowell Nace was reasonably well educated in the schools of his native town, and reared a farmer. In 1848, he entered a wholesale grocery and commission house at Richmond, Virginia, where he remained for seven years. In 1856, at the solicitation of Hon. Daniel Woodson, secretary of the Territory, he removed to Kansas, and in the fall of that year purchased of Colonel H.T. Titus the well known claim on which was located what was known as Fort Titus, celebrated in the history of Kansas as the point at which Titus and other pro-slavery men were captured, and where Captain Chombree was killed. He was made p~ivate.s~creta~y to Secretary Woodson, and held that position during hlS admln1stratlon and that of Secretary Hugh S. l~alsh, until 1860. In the meantime he improv'ed his claim, making a first-class farm, to which he has added until he has six hundred and forty acres--an entire section--all under fence and in a good state of cultivation, with a large orchard of apples, peaches, cherries,,'and all other kinds of fruits known in this climate, and a first-class dwelling, houses for 71 �tenants, barns and other improvements, making it among the best homes and farms in Douglas county. He participated in the battles of Westport, Little Blue, and the other engagements during the Price raid tif 1864. He has held the office of township trustee of Lecompton township for four years and other local offices, and the office of county commissioner of Douglas county for two years. He was originally a Whig, but since his advent into Kansas he has never been a partisan, voting generally for those whom he considered the best men. He was reared in the Presbyterian faith. Although never a member of any religious organization, he has always contributed liberally to churches, Sunday schools and religious enterprises generally. He was married at Lecompton, September 29, 1859, to Miss Mary A. Hickox, daughter of Daniel Hickox, formerly a prominent member of the New York Legislature. Mrs. Nace is a woman of education and refinement. TheY have four children--William, John Palmer, Hester Catharine and Frederick. The home of Mr. Nace is one of genuine hospitality. He is a man of culture, great geniality and sociability, and nis house is the frequent resort of a large and refined circle of friends. WILLIAM D. MARTIN, M.D. Ba 1dwi n City. William D. Martin was born March 22, 1822, at Clabrac, New York. His father, Agrippa Martin, was a farmer, and immigrated to Freeport, Illinois, at an early day, where he became.a prominent and influential citizen. The locality of his residence was known as "Martinls Settlement. Hi s mother was Rhoda Durham. The genealogy of the family has been lost, but the parents were known to have descended from Spanish ancestry who immigrated to America in the early years of the republic. II William D. Martin is the youngest of a family of four sons and two daughters, all of whom became farmers, except Chancellor and himself, who became physicians. His education was conducted in the common schools of New York, where the facilities for acquiring knowledge were, at that time, very poor~ In the spring of 1849, he began the study of medicine with his brother, Chancellor, in Freeport, Illinois, and, in the ensuing fall, attended the lectures at Rush Medical College, of Chicago, where he continued until he graduated, in 1851. At the ~onclusion of his medical course,he removed to Nora, Jo Daviess county, Illinois, and commenced the practice of his profession. Having practiced in Nora for two years, he returned to Freeport and entered into partnership with his brother, Dr. Chancellor Martin, who had become eminent in that locality as a physician and surgeon. The firm did a successful business and secured a large and remunerative patronage. 72 �In May, 1856, Dr. William Martin removed to Kansas, and, for about a year, was in such indifferent health as to preclude him from engaging in business. On his recovery, he located at Baldwin City, where he at once entered upon an active, leading practice of medicine, which he has continued to the present time. On locating at Baldwin City, he purchased the "right" of a proslavery squatter to a quarter-section of land, which he improved and soon after preempted. This land he still holds and occupies as a residence, where he has made one of the best farms in all that section of the State. He has an orchard will-stocked with a great variety of fruit trees, well-cultivated fields, ~ comfortable residence with dwelling and .out houses, and also a good tenant's house. He has been a member of the Masonic fraternity for about twentyfive years. He is liberal in his religious views, and attends the Methodist church with his family. He was married in Baldwin City, August 4, 1860, to Miss Cornelia J. Clayton, daughter of William and Alice Clayton, pioneers of Kansas, who died soon after immigrating to the Territory. She is an accomplished, influential Christian woman, a member of the Metho.dist Episcopal church, . of active charities, and has done much in the formation of society and the promotion of every good work in the community. They have four promising daughters, the eldest in Baker University, the second making great progress in music, and the other two in the Baldwin City high school. Dr. Martin was originally a Wnig, but, on moving to Kansas, became identified with the Free State party, joined a military company, and, as far as his feeble health would admit, actively participated in the struggles of that eventful period. He was among the men in the forlorn hope against the twenty-eight hundred pro-slavery men who menaced Lawrence in September, 1856, and belonged to the advanced guard of a few skirmishers who went to meet them near where Eudora now stands. He has never aspired to official position, but has always been a Republican ready to do good service in the cause and to aid his friends. He is a generous, liberal, social gentleman, whose good deeds and charities have made him a name honored among a1.1 who know him. The United States Biographical Dictionary, Kansas Volume.

Maxine Moore Hougland Lawrence, Kansas 74 �March 1, 1979 , I 'i ; • EVENTS LEADING TO THE ESTABLISHMENT OF STONY POINT CHURCH AND CEMETERY, DOUGLAS COUNTY, KANSAS, ~ March 1, 1854 - Joseph and Catherine Eberhart departed !rom their farm home neor Kittanning, Pennsylvania with ten of their thirteen children, and boarded an Allegheny RI ver boat at 2:00 AM, March 2. Accompanying them in the party were a son-in-law and nine neighbors, in eluding their chi lelren. They changed boats at Pitts burgh, then traveled down the Ohio and up,the Mississippi Rivers to St. Louis. ' March 6-8 (Arprox.) - Arrived at St. Louis. Stayed a week or ten days, during which time , one 0 Itte children died. March 21 Disembarked from Missouri River boat at Westport landing, Missouri, nOW Kansas City, M.o. Four fomi lies of the neighbors took the next boot bock home to Pennsylvania. April (Approx.) - A scouting party of four of Joseph's sons - Henry, Paul, Louis and Andrew---;' set ~ut on rented horses from Westport landing olong the California Road or Oregon Trai I to search for a locality in Kansas Territory where members of the party might pre-empt land upon wh i ch to estabHsh homes and farms. April 3-4 (Appro)( .) - For two days, they based at the trail-sidesettlement of Franklin, later to become the headquarters for the pro-slavery factiOf"l in Kansas. They scouted the , surrounding area, but discarded it because of fear ormalario, due to great numbers of mosquitos in the ferti Ie farming bottoms alo;,g the Kaw River. Moved up the valley to later site of Lawrence, where an abandoned cabin was found, but no settlers. Turned to the hi lis and volleys about ten miles to the south. May 1 (Approx.) - Se lected a site ,and started to, construct a cabin. The land had not yet been surveyed. They exercised so-called "squatter's rights," whi ch was little more than tak ing , claim to a piece of land loosely baunded by stakes, rocks, trees, or most anything. The cabin was near the foot of the slope of what is now called the Pleasant Grove Hi II. This is,about one mi Ie northeast of the point at the top of the hi II where present State Highway 59 swings from its southwesterly direction up the hi II to a directly south direction after reaching the plateau. Later, the ,now non-existing Durikard Church, Pleasant Grove Store,: etc. ,_ were located ne,ar this jog in the present highway. May 25, 1854 - Congress passed the Kansas-Nebraska Act, wh i ch pt"ovi ded that the Territoria I , Government, and later that afthe State, would bepro-slavery oranti-slavery depending upon thp. outcome of a vote to be taken by immi'grant residents after two years. Joseph Eberhart, a staunch arlti -slavery Abolitionist, knew before he left Pennsylvania that 'passage of this Act was inevitable. He wanted to "get in on the ground floor" in crusading for the Abolitionist cause in Kansas Territory, which he linked strongly to his religious beliefs. He had been affiliated in minor official relationships with the church in Penn:" sylvania for many years; and had peddled Bibles and religious tracts along with selli"g "Yankee notions" ,or small items of merchandise. These contacts with people gave him the opportunity to spread his anti-slavery ideas, so it was natural that he later in Kansas Territory'should continue similar <;Ictivities, .,.),ich on one occasion led to his narr~w . ......:;. .. e'fcape from a plann~d hanging b~'slovery activists. .:.. ..~ , -', 75 '- �.. June 15 (Approx.) - With the cabi'l nearing completion, Henry and Andrew returned t,o Westport Landing ~o escort the rest of the group ~o their new home. In the meantIme, the husband and little daughter of Joseph's daughter Maria Ann Hemphill had died of cholera and were buried at Westport Landing. July 3 - Early in the morning, the ~y left Westport Landing with a purchased ox-team, covered wagon, cows, pigs and chickens, and some rented riding horses. July 4 - They arrived in the late aftet""loon and had their first meal in the new cabin home in Kansas. Obviously, all memben of the Pa"y could not occupy a single cabin, so the wagon, tents and bedding laid on .the ground served as sleeping accommodations for most of the group. After the land was surveyed in 1857, "squatters" had to file claims on 160-ocre, or quarter-section tracts, located M closely as feasible to where· the pre-empted land lay. Note: This. first Eberhqrt tract was later sold ta a George Harmon, who built a house near the cabin. I~ 1893 ,Noah EberhcJrt, Joseph 's grandson, l'nOfTied Harmon 's daughter, and they moved odo tl,e land and farmed it. July 20 - Little girl Maria Sybilla Hemphill died, and was buried on the plateau atop the. Pleasant Grove Hill, thus becoming the first person buried in the flrst cemetery in what was to become Douglas County. . August 1 (Appr~) - Jo~eph Eberhart pre":empted the 160-ocre tiact where his granddaughter's grave NOS located, and the Pleasant Grove Cemetery developed there as a result. This cloi m 'snortheast corner was close to the aforementioned jog in present State Highway 59. loseph started bui Iding a cabin right away, and as SOOn as it was completed he presi ded ot religious servi ces in it, the first i" the county. They continued to be held rather regu lor Iy for members of the Eberhart party and other settlers who by now had started . to move i,.,to the area in significant numbers. . .. . . August 1, 1854 - First party of twentY-Mine immigrants from the East arrived and settled at "Waukarusa," which was to be coiled Lawrence. 1859 - Joseph hod a sterle house bui It on this tract in 1859, and thereafter regular servi ces were held there, -wi th Rev, Cordley and other early Lawrence ministers often conducting them. . September 29, 1860 - A formal church was organized in Joseph's stone home. It was given the name, "Christ's Evangelical Lutheran Church ~" Joseph Eberhart and Jonathon Minor were elected elders and Obadiah Eberhart and George F. Smith deacons. A church "constitution" was adopted, and the om cers were installed by Rev. D. Earhart. This was recorded in the minutes as the first congregational meeting. March 1865 - Joseph Eberhart bought the Branso" Claim at Stony Point, and moved into th·~ cobin on this histori c tract. :;~;/~. "", . March 7, 1868 - The second congregctio"al meeting was held in thi.~ Brar.~on C(" "n{loc~ted southeast of the stone schoolhouse!. Josephnnd Obadiah Eberhart were el~cted elders· and Wm. Georgi i and Pau I Eberhart deacons. They were install ed hy Rev. Earhart. 76 �October 10, 1868 - At the end of a church servi ce ir'l the old stor'le school house, at wh i ch Rev. Earhart had preached, a third congregational meeting waS held, and someone moved as follows: "Resolved that a committee be appointed to secure, if possible, a piece of land for a Congregational Form to support the church. Lewis Eberhart, Michael Herning and Obadiah Eberhart were appointed. II (This farm did not materialize.) March 20, le73 - Michael Herning died, and.since the committee had not yet selected a churchyard site and supporting farm, he was buried On whet not long before had been (J . port of Joseph Eberhart's farm, however, this portion had been sold by him to son Obadiah. September 3, 1873 - The church pUrchased this 10 acres for the cemetery from Obadiah for $100. Since Joseph had been appointed at the third congregational meeting on October 10, 1868 lito solicit funds from back East ll to help acquire the then proposed Congregational Farm, this source may have provided at least part of the funds to buy the Cemetery land. Nov. 30, 1882 - Joseph Eberhart di ed • November 18, 1883 - Sometime prior to this date, no doubt while Joseph was still alive, the constructio"- of the woOd frame church was started ~ Joseph is r:eported as being the main supporter a"d promoter of the project, and his sons and sons-in-law, along with nonEberharts did the actual construction. Son-in-law Isaac Hemphill was a farmer-carpenter, and he then lived on the Joseph fberhart place. 'M,en dedi cated, the church's indebtedness was S233, but an appeal nt the dedication ceremonies obtained cosh and pledges of $336, "so the new organ brougM into the church the day before the dedi cation most likely will remai,;.". (This organ was stolen from the church in the late 1960's.) . December 21, 1885 - Joseph's wife Cnf'herine died, and funeral servi ces were conducted in the Stony Poi.,t Church, with buriali/' t'he churchyard alongside her husband • .Ii· May 6, 1898 "The Stony Point Evangel i cal Lutheran Church and Cemetery Association." was ir'lcorporated, with the follo .... ing perso"s signing the charter as trustees: Jsaac Hemphill, James A.

Iv\ay 10, 1898 Isaac and Rebecca Hemphill, the latfer.the youngest of the t-hirteen childre" of Joseph and Catherine, deeded to the Association the lO-acre tract lying to the north . of the Cemetery and between the (hUl' chyard and the rood.

By their sides also lie some, of their descendants. This plot of ground was given for this purpose by Benjamin Ulrich, whose father, Jacob Ulrich preempted from the government the farm of which this cemetery is a part. It was named the Ulrich Cemetery and deeded to the Association, the first trustees of which were Adam Kling, Samuel Baker and John Bower. It is not known who was first laid to rest here, but it is probable that it was Sarah Ulrich, a daughter of Jacob and Mary Ulrich. Travel in those days being slow and communication much slower, the father and mother were returning home from a visit to Indiana, happy in the thought of again being with their family, but were met with the. sad news that death had suddenly snatched from the home their beloved daughter, and her form now ~ests beneath the prairie sod. As we wander from grave to grave and read the inscriptions thereon, we find the names of the parents or grandparents of manY of us who are now present, or of their friends of whom we have heard. Here lies Jacob Ulrich, born July 10, 1803 and died November 24, 1863, and beside him his wife, Mary Hoover Ulrich, born December 3, 1808, died October 22, 1883. Jacob Ulrich was born in Pennsylvania, on what is now the site of the city of Roaring Springs. This tract of land was deeded in 1781 by Daniel Ulrich to his son John - the father of Jacob. In the course of time Jacob Ulrich and his father turned their steps westward, locating in Indiana, where they built and operated flour mills and were instrumental in founding the city of Hagarstown, in 1832. The Indiana homes of both John and Jacob Ulrich are still in a good state of preservation. In the Ulrich cemetery nearby lie John Ulrich and his wife. . In 1855, Jacob Ulrich and his family pioneered still farther west. With them came a number of other families, there being thirteen prairie schooners in the caravan. They settled in eastern Kansas. About two years later Jacob Ulrich acquired the farm of which this cemetery is a part. Here he spent his remaining years in loyal devotion to his church, his neighbors, and his family. Although during the famine years (1859-1861) he disbursed thousands of dollars of relief money sent from the East, he would not accept one cent for his services, nor would he allow one cent to be used to feed the hungry people who came to his door, but performed this service from his own resources. 83 �He was just recovering from an illness when Quantrill and his Band who had just sacked Lawrence arrived and burned the large house and the well-filled granaries. He did.not long survive the shock. His sons Benjamin, John, Daniel, Jacob and Henry; his daughters Christina Metsker, Ann Cook, Mary Shiveley and Susan Flory remained in Douglas County where they built homes, reared families and contributed to the welfare of their respective communities. Their descendants, at their annual reunion in Lone Star, have an average attendance of about two hundred. Near his father's grave lies Benjamin Ulrich and Esther Shiveley Ulrich, his wife. He was born in 1832, ~ied in 1913; she was born in 1842 and died in 1911. Uncle Ben and Aunt Esther are held in loving remembrance by many. They lived on the old homestead and were faithful members of the Brethern Church (then called Dunker) which was established on Kansas soil largely through the efforts of Grandfather Jacob Ulrich, all of whose children lived and died in the Dunker faith. Benjamin'~ sons Herschel, Grover and Harry, and daughters Mrs. Laura Fox and Mrs. Anna Churchbaugh live near the old home. We next ~ome to the graves of Daniel Ulrich, born Apr. 5, 1838, died March 21,1919, and His wife, ~1ary WeybrightUlrich, born Jan. 6, 1841, died Jan. 23,1890. He was a worthy son of so noble a father. The surviving children are Charles Ulrich of Leavenworth County, William Ulrich of Lone Star and Mrs. Etta Shank of California. Here lies Philip Cook, born in 1832, died in 1868, and his wife, Anna Ulrich Cook, born in 1832 and died in 1912. She was also a daughter of Jacob Ulrich. She is survived by a dalJghter, Mrs. Alice Bray of Alva, Okla. and several grandchildren who live out at the state. We now come to the grave of Mrs. Barbara Bailey, born 1823 and died in 1917. She always was glad to help a neighbor. Old settlers recall that although in her later years she could not walk, this did not prevent her regular attendance at church. Her son, Henry, now of Baldwin, carried his aged mother from his buggy into the church, then out, each Sunday. Next is the grave of George Gerard, 1829-1863. These dates tell us that here lies another pioneer. His grandsons, Carl and George Van Hoesen, live near Willow Springs. Here lies Adam Kling, a soldier of the Union Army, born in 1833, died· 1884, and Elizabeth his wife, born 1834, died 1883. Beside them lie several children who died in infancy. Here is the grave of Samuel Baker, born 1833, died 1884, and his wife Elizabeth, born 1834, died in 1917. He was a minister in the Dunker Church. Over here on one lot we fi nd three graves. Two b,rothers and a lie here. The story is told how the three young men and thelr Wlves ploneered to Kansas, but their joy soon turned to sorrow, for the three husb~nds all died within one year, and the younq wives returned to their eastern homes. The men were Ephriam Miller, John Miller and Harry Comer. They died about 1865. bro~her:in-la~ 84 �We find on the next few monuments the names of individuals of whom little ;s now known, but we know they were a part of the community life of the early days in which they lived. They too knew the hopes, the fears, the joys, ,the sorrows, the pleasure and pain that went to make up the life of the pioneer. Let us read the inscriptions on their monuments: Philena Bing John Bower Elizabeth Bower Jacob Bower William McKinney Nancy McKinney Archybold Marshall born 1811 1800 1801 1825 1810 1811 1804 died 1871 1879 1877 1918 1868 1882 1870 Let us pause now to consider the heritage left us by those who sleep in this cemetery~ A heritage of houses and fields, of pastures and woodlands, of school houses and church buildings. Yes, these and more. A heritage of faith, courage and endurance. Of love of neighbor, of country, of God. Let us hold fast to the abiding values for whi:ch their lives stood. William Ulrich and Herschell Ulrich are trustees of the cemetery ,at the present time. October 20, 1938. Written by Mrs. William (Bertha) Ulrich. These two stones are the only ones added since 1940: David Fox 1866-1916 and his wife Laura Fox 1868-1952 on the same stone Harry Ulrich September 2, 1879 January 22, 1961 Gl~ncing thro~gh a history book, I found the following item: Farmers qUlckly explolted the cast iron three-piece plow introduced in 1819 by Jethro Wood. The cast iron plow, for all of it's virtues did not work satisfac!orily in midw~stern soils. It was replaced by an all steel plow, flrst produced ln 1847 by John Deer, a Vermont blacksmith who migrated to Illinois. The first successful reaper was patented b; Obed Hussey."

"Jordan Neal, one of the earlier settlers of Kansas is en/jaged in stock raising and general farming, in Wakarusa Townsllip, DOUfjlas County, where he has made his home since 1854. He was born in Franklin County, Illinois, on lB Jul 1824, a son of Jeremiah and, Elizabeth Neal. His father, a ,native of North Carolina, was married in Kentucky and afterwards settled ona farm in Illinois. In politics a democrat, he was elected sheriff on that ticket and, also, for 10 years served as county commissioner. Of the 12 cllildren of, Jeremiah and Elizabeth Neal, the third, Jordan, was reared in Franklin County, , Illinois, Amid pioneer surroundings. ,Schools "'ere few and poor, and the nearest to l1is ilome was three' miles distant. He engaced in farminein his home county until ilis removal to Kansas in 1847, when he took up 160 acres in Section 5 and 8 Wakarus twn. (NOTE: Jordan must have gone first to Kansas without his family. ,l-1any early Neal-Jordan and related fomilies moved to Kansas, and returned for their own families, household goods and live stock). "Beginning with the 1st Kansas tract of raw land, ne made the necessary improvements, broke the ground, placed t: Ie soil under cultivation, erected lJuildings and built fences. Within 8 years after bis settlement on the land he had under cultivatlon, but he now, has the greater part of the property in pasturar;e, as \\le of recent years given special attention to tile I'aising of stock. res "On his farm he has ahout 150 head of Poland China 110gS and a herd of Jersey cattle. For 20 years or t:aOl'e he has given the manual work in tile hands of others, while he superintends tlle.sllipment of staele and produce;,' "During the border troubles in 1855, Jordan Neal endured alL the hardships and anxieties incident to life in this locality. When Quantrell made his famous raid in 1863, he escaped unharmed. However, he had been less fortunate in .previous years for during a raid by a party of Missouri pro~ slavery men in 1856, all of his stock conSisting of 20 head of 110rses and 90 head of cattle were stolen, only about lq calves escaped.

His brother Moses, and a brother-in-law named vl1lliam Taylor came with him. They went up to the present site of Topeka and struck stakes'vhere the city now stands, but returned and baught for $120.00 four claims, one timber and three prairies, from a Missourian nwned Stinson. One of these claims he still owns and lives on, and the t1mb~r claim he sold sometime ago to Thomas McGee. "Jordan Neai soon went back to Illinois for his family and worthy possessions, and when he returned two months later there were a few more cabins in Franklin. He says he visited the Lawrence party when he first came 15 Aug 1854, and there were quite a few tents and covered wgons on Mt. Oread. At that time, they. called their town Wakarusa, but when he returned from Ill1noi.s" all had moved to the river banks and called the town Lawrence." .
