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

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

In 1946 the two streams of history merged into one to become The Evangelical United Brethren Church. THE UNITED BRETHREN CHURCH LaWrence, Kans as 1854-1946 Lawrence probably can claim the first permanent, continuous United arethren organization in the state of Kansas, altho' this WaBi a much discussed point for many years'. , A man whose name was Terrel, preached in Fort Scott and organized a', class there sometime during the year 1853. The group seems to have dis,banded during the Civil War Years. There was no mention of Fort Scott in the Conference notes until 1890 when a new group, was formed. In a letter to the "Religious Telescopell (official U. B. church paper) Josiah Terrel wrote, "I am glad that the Board of Missions has s,ent a missionary to Kansas. 1I He had reference to S. S. Snyder, the first regularly appointed missionary to the Kansas Mission. (He was the man for whom our local church w.as named.) Mr. Snyder was appointed by the Home Frontier and Foreign Missionary Society in June, 1854 and arrived in Kansas in October of that same year. He brought his family to Lawrence, a, community of about 600 persons; and staked out a claim near the edge of the settlement. He attended the first Hissour.L Conference which was held in Jasper County, Missouri at Short Creek Schoolhouse in November, 1854. It was here that the first United Brethren minister (S. S. Sn~der) met the first missionary to Kansas (Mr. Josiah Terrel). Rev. Snyder held services in a plank shanty located near the place 'Where the Granada Theater now s t a n d s . ' When it was learned that the Kansas Pacific Railroad would come through Lawrence on the north side of the Kaw River, the church fathers d~cided that Lawrence would make its growth north of the river, therefore they erected their second church there near-Bismarck Grove. ' Later a third was built at Fourth' and Locust Streets in North Lawrence. This building was used until 1914. : , William A. Cardwell, from the Indiana Conference, came to the Kansas Territory in l855-to work with S. S. Snyder. He (Cardwell) wrote on ARril 30, 1855 that he had a list of donations totalling $131.00 to be used in building a church in Lawrence, but that the building wasn't com- �90 c .. pleted until 1867. This reference must have been to the second meeting place, the one at Bismarck Grove. However, Mr. Cardwell went to Big Springs, west of Lawrence, where he organized -a: class, and succeeded in building a church late 'in the year 1856. This building at Big Springs; was the first church to b~ ,built for the United Brethren in the State of Kansas •. The Rev. S'. S. SI'l1der was the first man killed by the Quantrill Raiders in their 'attack on Lawrence. He had been commissioned a. Lieutenant of the Colored Troops in this area. This fact, combined with his preaching and his anti-slaver,y views prompted the raiders to seek him out and to murder him as 'they entered Lawrence on August 19, 1863. The first United Brethren Church building erected in Lawrence was named for this martyr--IIThe S. S. SI'l1der Memorialll '. At the time of his death the group was meeting in a hut at about the present site of the Granada Theatre, referred to earlier. ' . The Kansas Mission Conference of the Church of the United Brethren ~ Christ was' organized in October 30, 1857, with the Rev. S. S. SI'I1der as presiding elder. At a meeting of the Kansas Conference in April, 1867, it was reported that the church building at Lawrence was almost completed. The sixteenth Convention of the Conference was held in the new bUilding in 1871. Ver,y early in the period when settlers were coming to Lawrence, the Friends (Qu~ers) erected a very large native stone building on the land now occupied by the city baseball park at 11th and Delaware. The main purpose of this building was for their Conventions and Conferences so it was of necessity quite roomy. 'It is thought that, for a time before a permanent building was erected, the United Brethren used this building for their Church Services~ In the year 1914 anew brick building was completed at the corner of 17th and Vermont Streets. liThe S·. S. Snyder Memorial Churcn ll as it was known was dedicated October 3, 1915 at a cost of $15,000.00. This blP-lding burned on February 8, 1936. The Journal World for Februar,y 10, 1936 states that the building and its~:contents were a total loss, the firefighters being hampered by sub-zero temperatures. The Rev. C. L~ Huffman was pastor of' the church when the bw.:ldSmg burned, the Rev. C. L. Heatherington had just oompleted-'7 years of service in the Lawrence territor,y the previous December (1935) and the Rev. Arthur Ward arrived sometime in 1936 to serve 6 years with this congregation. With the arrival of Mr. Ward plans were made to erect a fine, new L-shaped building of native stone.· He spent long hours in pliiy'sical labor in the construction and building of the ba.sement for this proposed church, also, in his six years of service a substantial sum of money was raised to use in the building of the new structure. Because o~ many difficulties his dream of completing the super-structure was never realized. In 1942 he was assigned a charge near \vinfield;: Lawrence Deever succeeded him at Lawrence. By this ti..'1le the congregation had dwindled to a rilen "handful," and there was talk of merging. The official merger with the Evangelical Church began in March of 1946. With the uniting of the two denominations the Lawrence Church then became mown as the Evangelical-United Brethren Church. The work of the Kingdom moved forward. The be3utiful new church at 1501 Massachusetts was dedica~ . .' "ted in 1948 and has continued to move forward to a present membership of " ..,.... - -.' '.,'j �9i", 301. The basement structure was sold to the Immanuel Lutheran Church in 1948. PASTORS OF THE: UNITED BRE.THRBN CHURCH 1890- C. M. Hymes; 1911-lQ'-F. H. Testerman 1891- J. L. Oakes 1917-18- N. H.

THE EVANGELICAL CHURCH Lawrence, Kansas 1857-1946 Franklin, E;udora, Clearfield Circuit, 1857 Evangelical United Brethren Church 1946-1959 The Evangelical United Brethren Church is the oldest American born denomination. It was not the first denomination on Americal soil for other churches preceded it, having come here from Europe. It is not a sp:l,it off of any other church but was the result of a need and the meeting of that need. German speaking people emigrated to this continent, settled in Maryland and Pennsylvania'. There were no churches, no pastors, but men filled w1th;:)the Spirit from German Reform, Mennonite, Presbyterian, Lutheran, and Methodist denominations began bringing the word of God to early settlers. Our church is not an "ismll or a tarigent organization. It is sound, stable, and founded upon the fundamental doctrines of Christianity. , In 1804 Jacob Albright of Pennsylvania founded this organization especially' for the Gennan speaking people of Pennsylvania. The DiSCipline was very similar to that of the Methodist Church. We are indebted to the early ministers of Kansas for the history of our' church at this time, but they were History Nakai's and not History Writers. Appeals were made to the Eastern Conferences through the Evangelical Hessengerll and "Der Christ1iche Botschafter". The general mis~ sionary society made no provision for this type of work, the Conference had ,to make the provision and some, conferences were not interested in moving ;West. The Illinois conference was very sympathetic to the calls but -:.t~~~ so the reply was oi'ten,"no funds, no available men." ; .. �92 , Bishop Long was. very instrumental in getting a change in the Mission- ary Society so that funds would be available for this work in the West. Kansas was organized as a territory in 1854. The Government offered very liberal Homeste ad Laws, hence many Evangelicals emigrated to Kansas, took up homesteads, built homes, mostly of log or sod, tilled the soil,but there were no churches of their choice in which to worship. . As early of 1851 and 1858, Joseph Ettinger of Leavenworth and James Epley of Old Franklin (3:,miles S. E. of Lawrence) "Irate letters to the ItEvangelical Messenger" and "Der Christliche Botschafter" (church papers) to assist in publicizing the appeal for man to preach the gospel. This bore fruit, for July 4, 1858 George Fleisher arrived at Old Franklin and J. F. Shreiber in Nebraska. . Classes were established at Franklin, Eudora, Clearfield, Owl Creek, and near Humboldt, in fact our first church built in Kansas was at HumDolt. The people of this territory were hungry for the gospel message. A nrl.nister' s· charge consisted of a circuit made up of classes. Often a; circuit was 200 or even 300 miles in area. The people gathered in homes, ~chool house and store buildings. The mode of travel for the minister was horse back ,0; in a"buckboardlt accompanied with a Bible, Hymn Book and Church Discipline. 1860 was a famine year. Drought appeals were made to the eastern churches for help. Cash, food, and clothing were sent. The IIr-Iissionary Barrels" of those days were a blessing. Also the war clouds were gathering and there was great unrest among all people. , Then in 1861 the beginning of the Cinl War with Kansas, a~ free territory, next to Missouri, a slave state, brought on much border warfare. In fact, Rev. Snyder of the- United Brethren Church of Lawrence was the first man killed in Quantrill's Raid. Our work was greatly hindered. Many were called to the ~ and many met death by bush whackers and hostile Indians. , In spite of the hardships people were deeply interested and the average cpllected for the work in Kansas in 1861 was $3.00 per member. In 1862 pleas were made for the organization of a Kansas Conference. In 1864 the Iowa Conference met and organized the Kansas Conference, which comprised the entire state of Kansas. There were 50 claSses with a membership of 100. Camp meetings were, held near Eudora and Clearfield which was on the Lawrence Circuit. ManY were gloriously saved. The first Kansas Conference session was held at",:LeaveriwOrth in 1865. I In 1 years the work had grown to a membership of 116, 3 churches, 3 parsonages, 2 Sunday Schools with 54 scholars. Early ministers were not overpaid, the average annual salar,y for a single man was $125.00 plus $31.25 for table expense. A married man's salary twice as much' plus $25.00 for each child with $6.25 per year added table service. , In 1811 the Kansas Conference was iricorporated UIlIiier.the Kansas Law!. This gave them the right to do business legally. In 1861 Joseph Rahskopf (father of Ed Rahskopf of 1035 Pennsylvania Street of Lawrence ) was licensed to preach. In 1878 Peter Schumann (father of Katherine Schumann and grandfather of Ethelbert and Emerson Ott) was licensed to preach in Kansas. In 1881 Moses. Dissinger (father of our late Fred Dissinger) served this field. . In 1886 we had the sad misfortune of an abnormal boom. Eastern capital poured in, towns sprang up, real estate inflated and factories, where there was no reasonable grounds for success. �93\ Two years, later there came the depression and our work really faced a crisis. In 1890 S. A. Burgert (father of Ralph, Irma and Alice Nelson of our present congregation) was licensed and in 1890 was sent as the first missionary to Oklahome, liThe Striptl having been opened in 1889. It was ~ very rugged and immoral field. ; In 1893 the language question arose. The local fie Id or church decided to use either or both, the English and German. . In 1897 there was another depression and maQY fields were discontinued or consolidated. In 1899 The Kansas Conference ordered an organization in Lawrence but it failed to materalize. In 1901 F. H. Peek (father of"Harlan Peek of Lawrence) was licensed by the conference held at Willow Springs (now Worden). In 1909 the annual conference held at Jewell located a:j russion at Lawrence ,and appointed E;. J. Feitz as pastor. Thus in May, 1909 E. J. Feitz organized the work at La\'I1rence. The church was to be known as the Zion E;vangelical Church. The organization had 26 members and there was no church home. The first quarter~conference was held in June 1909 composed of the following: Presiding Elder D• Swart, J. Wuerth,P. Schumann, J. Rahskopf, J. Houk, W~. Fleisher, W. F. Zeeb and E. J. Feitz. . It was reported that the Swedish Lutheran Church at 1000 Connecticut Syreet, Lawrence, Kansas was disbanded and their church was for sale. The quarterly conference appointed a committee of five to negotiate for the purchase of the chtirch and in 1909 it was purchased for the swn of $1100.00. Next, the Annual Conference was petitioned for help to remodel the church. In 1911 the church was raised and resided, with labor largely done by the members. Jrnd on S'eptember 3, 1911 the "new church" was dedicated. E~il Wendland was the-pastor. The Ladies Aid was organized at church on October 23, 1913 and they met weekly for work. In Februar,y 1917 it was decided to improve the church building again. The basement was enlarged, a furnace was installed and it was resolved to buy a parsonage;: therefore one was purchased at 1009 Connecticut for $3500.00. In 1919 the Women's Missionar,y Society was organized. In about the year 1920 'the church was partially destroyed by fire. In March 4, 1946 the Zion Evahgelical Church and the United Brethren in Christ Church merged. To our knowledge this was the first merger on the local level of churches later to be known as The Evangelical United Brethren Church. This was brought about by the uniting of the two denominations November 16, 194q,' During the pastorate of Leland Young, 1945-58, ~ new church building at 1501 Massachusetts street was built and dedicated. A few statistics 1909-Church building, 1000 Connecticut St. purchased 1918-Parsonage at 1009 Connecticut St. was purchased 1948-the new church 1501 Hassachusetts St. was built and dedicated 1954-the new parsonage, 1530 Kentuc~ 1956-new cabin built at Forest Park, Topeka 1957-The II Annex" at 1507 Mass.

' �97 r,A LOVE- THAT TRANSCENDS, SADNESS \\ Written by Willie !10rris; Not too long ago, in a small Southern town where I live, I was invited by friends to go With them and their children to the cemetery to help choose their burial plot. My friends are in the heartiest prime of'life and do not ~ticipate departing the Lord's earth immediately, and hence, far from being funereal, our search had an adventurous mood to it, like picking out a: Christmas tree. It was that hour before twilight, and the marvelous old graveyard with its cedars, and magnolias and flowering glades sang with the Mississippi springtime. The honeysuckled air was an affirmation of the tugs, cind tremors of living. My companions had spent all their lives in the town, and the names on even the oldest stones were as familiar to them as the people theysali'every day.IlLocation," the man of the family said, laughing. liAs the real-eetate magnates say, we want location." , At last they found a plot in the most veneral51e secti'on which was to their liking, having spurned a sha<tr spot which I had ~conunended under a: giant oak. I knew the caretakelI',. would soon have to come to this place of ~heir choice with a long, thin s'teel rod, shoving it into the ground every few inches to see if it struck forgotten coffins. If not, this plot was theirs. Our quest had been a tentative success, and we tetired elseiihere to celebrate. Their humor coincided with mine, for I am no stranger to graveyards~ With rare exceptions, ever since my childhood, they have suffused me not with foreboding but with a sense of belonging and, as I grow older, with a curious, ineffable tenderness. MY dog Pete and I go out into the cemeteries, not only to escape the telephone, and those living beings who place more demands on us than the dead ever would, but to feel a continuity with the now of the generations. "Living,1I William Faulkner wrote, lIis a process of getting rea<tr to be de ad for a long time." I have never been lonely in a:::.cemetery. They are perfect places to observe the slow changing of the seasons, and to absorb human history--the tragedies and anguishes, the violences and treacheries:; and always the guilts; and sorrows of vanished people. In a preternatural quiet, one can almost hear the pailpable, long-ago voices. I especially' like the, smail~toWn cemeteries of America: where"the children, come for picnics; and games, as' we did when I w.as growing up--wandering among the stones on our own, with no adults about, to :J;"egard the mystery and inevitability of death, on itsi terms and ours. I remember we would watch the funerals from afar in hushed "awe, and I believe that was when I became obsessed not with death itself but with the singular cOllUllunity of death and life together--and life's secrets, life's fe ars, life's surprises. Later, in high school, as I waited on a hill to play the echo to taps on my trumpet for the Korean War dead, the tableau below with its shining black hearse and the coffin enshrouded with the flag and the gathering mourners, was like a fO,lk drama, with the earth as its stage. , The great urban carileteries of New'Yo'rk City always filled me with horror, the mile after mile of crowded tombstones which no one ever seemed to visit, as if one could ~ anyone in there even if he wished to. Likewise, the suburban cemeteries of this generation with their carefully manicured lawns. an~' bronze plaques embedded in the ground, all imbued with affluence and a �98 artifice;;.. ~are much too remote for me. My favorites have alw~s been in the old, established places where people honor the long dead and the new. graves are in proximity with the most ancient. The churchyard cemeteries '. of England haunted me with the eternal rhythms of time.' In one of these, years ago as a student at Oxford, I found this inscription: Here lies Johnny Kongapod, Have mercy on him, gracious God. As he would on You if he was God, And You were Johnny Kongapod. Equally magnetic were the graveyards of eastern Long Island, with their patina of the past touched every so niellowly with the present. The cemetery of Wainscott, Long Island, only a few hundred yards from the Atlantic Ocean, sUrrounded the schoolhouse. I would watch the children playing at recess among the graves. Later I discov~red a man and his,)dfe juxtaposed ·under identical stones.. On the wife's tomb was \I Rest in Peace. II On the man IS. at the same level, was "No Comment." I admired the audacity of that. But it is the graveyards of Mississippi which are the most moving for me, having to do, I believe, with my belonging here. They spring from the e~rth itself, and beckon me time and again. The crumbling stones of my pljlople evoke in me the terrible enigmas of living. In a small Civi.l War cemetery which I came across recently, the markers stretching aw~ in a misty haze, it occurred to me that most of these boys had never even had ~Igirl friend. I have found a remote graveyard in the hills with photographs on many of the stones, some nearly one hundred years old, the women in bonnets and Sunday dresses, the men in overalls--"the short and simple arinals of the poor." I am drawn'here to the tiny grave of a little girl. Her name was Fairy Jumper, and she lived from April 14, 1914 to Jan. 16, 1919. There is a miniature lamb at the top of the stone, and the words:"A fairer bud of promise never bloomed." There are no other Jumpers around her, and there she is, my Fairy, in a far corner of that country burial ground, so forlorn and alone that it is difficult to bear. It was in this cemetery on a bleak Februar,y noon that I caught sight of four men digging a grave in the hard, unyielding soil. Atter a time they gave up. After they lett, a man drove toward me in a battered truck. He wanted to know if some fellows had been working on the grave. Yes, I said, but they went away. "Well, I can't finish all by myself." Wordlessly, I helped him dig. One lonesome, windswept afternoon my dog and I were sitting at the crest of' a hill in the town cemetery. DoWn below us, the acres of empty land were coyered with wildflowers. A new road was going in down there, the caretaker told me; the area was large enough to accommodate the next three generations. "With the economy so bad," I had asked him,"how can you be expanding?" He had replied: lilt comes in spurts. Not a one last week. Five put (lown the week before. It's a pretty ste ady business. II Sitting there now in the dappled sunshine, a middle-aged man and his middle-aged dog, gazing across '~a-a the untenanted terrain awaiting its dead, I thought of how each generation lives with its own exclusive solicitudes-the passions, the defeats, the victories, the sacrifices, the names and dates an~:, the faces, belong to each generation in its own passing, for much of every",: t~g except the most unforgettable is ~~on forgotten. And yet: though mucll is taken, much abides. I thought then'..of human beings, on this cinder of ~ planet out at the edge of the universe, hot knowing where we came from, why ,we are here, or where we might go after death--and yet we still laugh, and iCry, and' feel, and love. . ,<- -".,~)_ ' ; -r" + ',.~... ~ ~~. !'~' c..;c..... r \ .. _. ~_._ ' I . ___ i .- - .......-.- .. -"'~' . - ". -.. -. .......
