".... ~:'~-.-:". "-. --"---.":''';' -"- :.--.' .", �51 BY GEORGE W. WHITE CLINTON, DOUGLAS COUNTY, KANSAS. I was born in Anderson County, Texas, July 5th, 1844. I lived there until October 1845. In October we started back to Missouri. Our conveyance was ox teams. We got back to Morgan County, Missouri and my father bought the same farm back that we sold before we went to Texas. We lived there until 1850, in 1850 we moved north six miles and rented a farm stayed there until 1852, moved then to Case County, Missouri. We lived there until the spring of 1854, and moved from there to Douglas County, Kansas, near Clinton. I was at home when the 1856 troubles came up. I stayed at home and took care of the home and stock while father and my brothers were out in the war. My oldest brother got his arm shot off at what was known as the Titus Battle in 56. In 1860 the dry season came on. Me and my father and family had to go back to Missouri to get feed for our stock. We went back to Morgan County, Missouri, and bought feed there near Sedalia, Missouri, and wintered there. I drove teams and worked on the railroad most of the winter. In the spring, father, mother and myself came home the first of May and went farming. I worked the farm that year and the Civil War come up. In 1862 I joined the Company of the State Militia and served in that, during the war but drove government teams most of the time. In 1863 I was at home the day of Quantrill's Raid. There were four of us at my father's house when Amos Spittler drove up to our gate at sunrise in the morning and told us that a Secession at Lawrence was burning the town and killing everybody. My mother was making a fire to get breakfast at the time. I heard him ho110a and got up as soon as I could and called the other boys. I went down and saw Spittler and he told me the circumstances. The other boys came down as soon as they could and we got our horses and as soon as we ate our breakfast we started for Lawrence. As we came over the University Hill, We saw Quantrill's Band down on the Wakarusa bottom and crossing the Wakarusa; they had set a house afire down there. They crossed the Wakarusa at what was known as the B1antan bridge, now the Eggert bridge, then we came on down to Lawrence. We went north on Mass. St. as far as 8th St; we then turned east. We saw one or two persons lying in the street north of us. It was so hot we could hardly get to them. We then went east around to the old Durfey-Hotel and we found a family there by the name of Stone. We had two cousins working there at the time. Stone told uS that they had crossed the river. We went down to the river bank and ho11oad across to them and they answered that they were all right. We came back to the Hotel and Quantrill's men had shot the old man Stone in the house. We went in to see him and he was shot in the breast. We then got on our horses and went after Quantrill. We got out in the South part of town where thirty-two recruits had been killed. On a little farther south we met up with a bunch of boys and men that had one of Quantri11',s men in custody whose name was Skaggs. A man by the name of Dr. Honne11 had him by the arm. Austin White my cousin asked Honne11 what he was going to do with him. He said they were going to kill him but he was �52 going to take him up town and turn him over to the Civil Authorities. White said "Stand back, I'll turn him over". He and George Black drew their revolvers and fired two shots at him striking him in the breast. Skaggs whirled and ran east about forty feet turned around and threw up his hands, as he threw up his hands Frank White Turkey a Delaware Indian shot him with his bow and arrow. The arrow took effect in the left corner of his mouth. He went over to him and White Turkey got off his horse and tried to pullout his arrow but could not. He then set his foot on his forehead and pulled his arrow out. Skaggs had on a new pair of boots. White Turkey pulled them off and wanted Austin White to take them. White said "No I do not want them they are too big for you or me you can have them". White Turkey said "No you take them your boots". White said "No I do not want them you take them'.'. White Turkey said "Alright I will take them then". He went to his pony and turned around and started after Quantrill. When we got down on the Wakarusa bottom James H. Lane and several others caught up with us. When we got to the top of the hill south of the Wakarusa we saw two men west of the road ,setting a house afire. When they saw us they came into the road about two hundred feet ahead of us. We fired several shots at them but failed to get any of them. We followed them on south past Baldwin City and caught up with them a few miles further, then they got away from us again. Then Major Plum and his men came in sight but they did not want to seem to catch up with them. James Lane went back and talked with Plum but we went on for several miles but finally caught up Hith them. We had a fight with them and fired several shots both ways, we got one horse but did not get any men. When the soldiers carne up pretty close they whirled and ran and got away from us. That was the, last fight we had with them. We followed them on for ten or twelve miles and when it came sundown then we turned and went home. We got home that night about two o'clock. Then later on in the fall I went to driving government teams again and drove on until cold w~ather. I went home and stayed until spring and in the spring I went to driving government teams for the 9th Kansas Regiment the third day of May we left Lawrence for Little Rock Arkansas that was the spring of 1864. We traveled allover Missouri and Arkansas at last was discharged at Fort Smith, Arkansas in July. Then went horne and later on hired to drive government teams again, from Leavenworth to Fort Scott and back. - , At the time of Price's raid I was at Fort Leavenworth at midnight we were ordered to Kansas City. We went down to the Commissary house and loaded our wagons with provisions for the soldiers and started for Kansas City. We drove there as quick as we could and got there about two o'clock in the afternoon. I had my horse and saddle with me to come home but they put me on picket duty that night and stayed therefor two days, and nights, and was then ord'ered back to Fort Leavenworth. I then got my pay and went horne. Later on I hired to drive teams for a man'by the name of'Kitchen. Went to Fort Dodge and back to Kansas City was discharged and came home. That was the fall of 1864. I then got my discharge from the Militia. I am the only man living that followed Quantrill out of the County. ' �53 In the winter of 1872 on the 22nd day of January I was married to Mattie Tucker, to this union was born two children Olive Leora and Russell George that are now living. My wife died in 1911 and I have lived on the farm at Clinton until in July 1925 when I sold the farm and moved to Lawrence where I now live with my son .Russell at 1117 Rhode Island Street. Geo~ge W.

It has harvested the largest wheat crop ever gathered in any State, and will strive this year to break its own record. In corn, fruit and small grains, computation and measurement have been abandoned as superfluous and impracticable. But these are only fragments of its mineral resources. To be a denizen of a State that surpasses all other communities as Niagara excels all other cataracts, as the sun transcends all other luminaries, imposes obligations that render levity impossible. �58 AHNENTAFEL OF JANE WIGGINS BORN I. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

To prepare for the ordeal, he made a lot of notes and outlines. He later had these notes published in book form. , The book, Robert's Rules of Order, is now a standard reference for parliamentarians.
