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

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

�12

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

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

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

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

�13

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

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

�14

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

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

�16

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

�17

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

l2Actually, other evidence (including recollections as well as the
census records) indicates a much sharper decline of rural population between
the late 1880's and the early 1920's. The declining rural population was
only partially compensated for by the rising town population.

of the Lone Star community falls somewhere between 250 and 300 in first two
decades of the 20th century.

But, clearly, external factors were at work as well causing many', many

Those concerned about teacher's salaries today may be interested to learn
that the first teachers in the 1880's were paid $210 for teaching the entire
seven-month term. However, by 1910 the annual salary for teachers had
reached $420. Clerk's Record Book of School District No. 47, Douglas County

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

QUERIES
Queries are free to members. They should state at least two facts to
gain the best results. There are many of our ancestors who have the same

Mr. Steve Thomas, 119 North Emma St., Olathe, Kansas 66061
Will exchange information with all descendants of George and Katherine DEAY
who lived in the Eudora and Vinland areas 1850 to present.
Pauline B. Elniff, 820 Sunset Drive, Lawrence, Kansas 66044
The 1850 Federal Census for Morris Township, Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania
lists James MCCLURE, age 58; his wife, Keziah (Kesia?), 52; son, Andrew, 17;
son, Joseph, 13. Believe that James and Kesia were the parents also of
Azariah, b. 1822 and James C., b. 1828 (in Huntingdon county) who arrived in
Illinois in 1850, settled near Mackinaw in Tazewell county where Azariah
