Anson J. Stone called and sworn.
To Mr. Sherman:
, I reside in BostOD, Massa~huset"ts. I am' assistant treasoll'er of the
Emigrant Aid Society. A. record is kept by that society of the names of those
. emigrants who are sent out under itsauapices. The party ,of emigrants under
Dr. '&amp;binson, who went out irithe 'spring of 1855, J.e:tt Boston Marcl'?- 13~ 1855.
I hlive a list of thOse who composed that party, copied from the original.
register in the office of the compaD.1 by II\Yself. The list is contained in
SJ m$orandum book, and is. attached to this deposition. The book also contains
the names of those who werit· out in company with John T. Farwell, leaving. Boston March 20, 185S.
'The number of persons who have been sent out by the Emigrant Aid Society
I shpuld judge to be somewhere in the neighborhood of 1,300; but I cannot state,
with9ut looking over the books, what 'proportion were wanen and ch1ldren, but .
there were 11l8JV' going out in families.
.
;When Robinson' s party le:tt we had no information at all of the da;r of
election. I do not th:l.nk arry party went out at all in reference to the dq
. of election.
:The emigrant aid society never. paid the expenaes of any' emigrant. I am.
certain of th1s', because I have carefu.l.4r examined aU. the books and papers
of the society. They' have expended no money forfireams. o.r ammunition.
They',have been m1'6me~ careful in regard to that matter,8nef '~ided it in a:rq
W83'. : The money of the society has been eXpended in SSWI and gr:1s't'm1lls, the
hote~ in Lawrence, and in other buildings; and in no case has money been expended with any reference to the political opiDion of settlers; but all could
enjoy the facilities of the investments of the society. 1he company did not
issue, tickets of their own, but purchased tickets of the various lines ot
transportation, and sold them~o the emigrants' for' cost. };. conductor wa¢:,~sent
along,1d.th each party, but the comp8l\Y in no case paid his 'f&amp;fe-:-; ~1?utJle"was~':-:'
~~~~lJith(:a'~.t~e ticket by the various lines of travel.. The transportation companions made the same deduction on the tickets they sold to us at a
~duced rate~ as they did to all other companies, picnic part1es~ conventions, &amp;:c'.
This is the mode in. which. business has been ordinari~ done between the
comp8D1' and the emigrants. 'WheJ} -an8migrant cOmes into the office and asks.
about Kansas, for 1nfo:rmation,:&amp;:c.~ we give him. a pamphlet containing all
the 1Il:fomation we have been able to gather. It did not contain any special.
price ~t, his ,f~e to the. Territor.n ~ when he asked what that lIOuld be, we
would st.a,te:~.wRt.at the railroa4s would furnish tickets for. They would naturall¥ com~ to our office to ~ this, because it is the office of the Kansas

T~e Parties of Emigrants 'Who Cane to Lawrence-CoDtinued
to persuade persons to emigrate, but to avoid the trouble of answe~ all '
the' questions persons would probab~ ask us, by, g1.ving 'them the information
that desire in a convenient torm. We never Urge them to go. Some, after
reading our books,wuld conclude to go,.bile others would not. We could
not ,tell how many did not go, but there were ~ who got these' P8ll'lplalets,
did not go. As soon as enough concluded to go, to form a party, a conductOr
was 'sent along with the party. Their baggage was marked to facilitate and
sec~ its transportation. The connexion 'between the company and the' emigrant ceased when the ticloot was sold; 8nd there was no understanding, agreement, or promise on either side., No man ever went Ullder the auspices of
this; society, for the mere purpose of voting and then retum1.ng, so far.

HISTORY OF CENl'RAL UNITED METHODIST CHURCH
1501 Massachusetts" Lawrence, Kansas
The roots of Central United Methodist Church reach back to 1854 when
the first United Brethren Church was organized in Lawrence. A man by the
name of S. S. Snyder came to Lawrence in October, 1854. He was sent as a
missionary and staked out a claim near the edge of Lawrence connnunity, mich
was. on~ about 600 persons.
, During a period of years up to 1914, there were four different locations,
most,· of them North of the Kansas River.
In 1914 a new brick building was erected at the corner of 11th andVermont. It was known as "The S. S. Snyder Memorial" and was used until
1939 when the church was destroyed by fire. Efforts to raise money, keep the
congregation together and build a new building were made but all efforts failed,
and'in 1946 the United Brethren merged with the E:vangelical Church. This
church was located at 1000 connecticut.
- This history dates back to the year 1909. The Evangelical Annual Conference met in Jewell, Kansas. At this Conference a mission was l~cated in
Law~nce and Rev. E. J. Fietz was appointed pastor. The church was named Zion
E;vangelical. There was a group of 26 members but they had no church to go to
fori worship.
: Quarter~ Conference met in J\U1e~ 1909. There was a report that the
Swedish Lutheran Church at 1000 Connecticut was for sale. This church was.
purchased for $1,100.00. The building was in bad shape and needed much repair
and remodeling. When the next Annual Conference met, they asked for financial
help. The church was raised and re-sided with most of the labor being done by
the men of the church. The new church was dedicated on September 3, 1911 with
Einil Wendland as pastor.
i The Ladies Aid was organized in 1913 and met each week for work.
They
also served many meals for 19~ and 25¢ a meal to help with the expenses of the
church.
It was decided in 1911 to improve the building again. So the basement
was enlarged, a furnace was installed, and plans were made to purchase a parsonage. The house at 1009 Connecticut across the street from the church was
purChased for $3,500.0Q~?
. In 1919 a Woman IS Nissionary SOCiety was organized. Money for missions
was ~ollected and sent to the missionaries. Nany da¥s were spent in sewing
and large packages of clothing for infants and children and other needs of the
missionaries, were sent.
, The church was partially destroyed by fire in 1920.
,During the years the congregation had been grovling until in 1944, they
felt, the need of more room and wished for a new church. The trustees were
give~ the power to start a building fund.
Their first effort brought in $2,200.00.
I beUeve Rev. George Landes' was the pastor at the time.
i In 1945 Leland and Elaiile Yourig were sent to the Lawrence Church. They
were'a young and enthUSiastic couple who put forth every effort toward organizing and planning for the'new church.
;At Quarter~ Conference in 1945 it was voted to have the District Superintehdent, E. E. Erffmeyer, to present the building project to Annual Corif'erence~ In May of 1945 $10,000.00 was allowed. Then there was an appeal to the
General Board of Missions for an additional $10,000.00. In 1941 the Confer..
._ ence IYouth Fellowship made the Lawrence Church a miSSionary project with a
goal :of $5,000.00. The church was still a mission at that time. During this
I

i,

�tinie the United Brethren and Evangelical Churches merged. The merger took
pl ace in 1 946,.
Property was purchased at 15th and Massachusetts in November of 1945.
This site was chosen because the lots were available. It was not far from
the old location and was conveniently located in the town.
: In 1946 Norman Goode was employed as architect and in iU.947 Ray Angeny
was hired as contractor. During August, 1947 ground was broken for the new
building and by October the corner stone was laid. Mooris Cleveland made a
metal container to place the articles in and Lawrence 110nument Company Jfa.~
nished the corner stone. Items -in the corner stone are: a church hymnal, a
ChUrch Discipline, a copy of blueprints for the new building, a list of churdl
members, a list of building committee members, a few pieces of money, a copy
of :Journal World newspaper, and a new copy of the HolY Bible.
: The note burning service was held October 6, 1957 with District Superintendent Henry H. Vogel present. Leland H. Young continued to be the pastor
until May, 1958.
Work progressed rapidly and the church kept grov1ing spiritually as well
as in membership. The Sunday out family put our letters in the church, 23
persons were taken into church membership. Work continued on the new building. R. O. Burgert spent most of his waking hours at the site to see that
the project was carried out 'as it should be. lvIr. Burgert was Chairman of
the; Building Committee. Leland Young put on his unionalls and spent many,
many hours supervising and suggesting with much interest and concern for the
best possible results. These men's ver,y lives and souls became entwined in
the bricks and rafters of the building. Many others helped in various ways.
During the weel~ 0'£ September 15-19, 1948, the church was dedicated with
services each night and Sunday, both morning and afternoon, with a basket
dinner at the noon hour. The dedication service was held Sunday afternoon
wit~ presentation of memorials and gifts, as well as the building fund offering. BishopC. H. Stauffacher was present to give the dedication s~on.
: Another parsonage \\las purchased in 1954 at 1530 Kentucky.
: The church and Sunday School membership continued to grow until the
class rooms were bursting at the seams. In 1957 a house and lot at 1507 was,
bought for an annex to be used for class rooms. During this time the members
of t,he church built a nice cabin in Forest Park to be used by the youth of
the church.
The house being used for an annex became unsafe and parking space was ii,
need~d, so the house was razed and the house across 15th Street was bought
for another annex. There was much more room for the children's classes and
BibJ1 School. This did well for several years until it was condemned as unsafe
and later was sold •
•,The house directly back of the church was bought for a parsonage and
later the house and lot south of the parsonage was purchased. The house was
moved to make more spaces for parking. This connected Vermont Street with the
parlq.ng lot.
,After the annex north of the church was not used, the children's classes
were !brought back to the church. It seemed now was the ti."I1le to be'gin planning
for an educational wing for the" church. During the 60's there were many triaL
runs ,to get the project of building started. In 1972 the program of an addition was begun in earnest.
When the Kvangelical United Brethren denomination and the Methodist denomination merged, we needed a name to distinguigh our identity in the tOivn and
-Conference. After a fellowship dinner one evening in the church the name
Central was decided upon as being the most suitable.

, Ground breaking for the new wing was one Sunday after the,'moe!ling wor- ,
shfp on November 12, 1972. Ernest Moore was pastor during this period of :,:
building. The new educational wing was completed and consecrated on Palm
Sund38", April 7, 1974. The architect was Will,Owens. The building committee
was: Chairman, Stan Zaremba'; Secretary, B6b Schrock; Treasurer, Earlin Burgert. Others on the committee were Ken Jorgensen, director of construction,
0. H. Garber, John Kliewer, James Hiller, Frank Pippert, and Bob Street.
OrVille Carey was Chairman of the TrUstee Board. The building was constructed
at ',a cost of $150,000.00.' The Consecration Celebration was attended by Bishop
Dixon, who gave the Consecration sermon,and a delicious luncheon which had been
arranged and cooked by Lorraine Schrock and Lois Zaremba, and an open house
followed.
Later in the 70's the church underwent another rejuvenation. The room
which had originally been the Chapel was made into a church parlor and named
the Ingle Parlor. When the men's Bible -Class was no longer in existence, the
rooin was made into a library and resource room. The old fellol-lship hall was
remodeled and made into a youth Center. The old kitchen was enclosed and
shelves were added to make storage room for tools and other equipment. A nice
nursery room was made from some small classrooms.
: --This history was prepared by Mrs. ott (Florence) Garber in 1979 and
updated in 1981. Much of the information has been co1iected from various
histories that were written in years past.

Name Changing Probably Started in the Days of Ancient Rome
One of my sons, flipping through a new paperback called, liThe Book of
People,1I wanted to know, why so many performers and other people in the
'public eye had changed their names, and how long this had been going on.
Forever, I told him.
It began, as so many other things did, among the ancient Romans .Those
men who were called to the equestrian order, and had low or llvulgarll names,
,were newly named for the occasion, so that the former name would not disgrace
:the dignity of the new position.
,
:
According to Platina, the first pope who changed his name in ascending
to the papal throne was Sergius II in 844, because his proper name was "Hog's
mouth"--quite unsuitable to the pomp of the tiara.
Europeans began changing their names in the Middle Ages, when surnames
,first came into vogue, because so many of the cognomens they bore were derogatory: liThe Bald, II liThe Lame;" liThe Short", liThe One-Eyed", and so forth.
Then,as society ranked itself, from serfs up to the nobility, the families who were able to raise themselves 'an economic niche or two often added
IIDe" or a IIVon" before their names, even when they were not entitled to.
,
Beethoven, in fact, was taken to a plebeian court when it was discovered
that, despite the "vanll in his ,name, he was not of noble birth. His grandfather, a Flemish vintner, had simply appropriated the aristocratic prefix.
for himself. And he was only one of many, in most E,uropean countries where
patents of nobility prevailed.
(In court, it is said, when Beethoven was questioned, he pointed to his
head and heart, exclaiming, IIHy patent nobility is here and here 111)
, In the New' World, immigrants changed their name s to blend wi th the
ethnic majority~' Paul Revere's father, indeed, had changed his name from
IIR1voire,'" upon arriving here from France. Much earlier, the great explorer
Qiovanni Caboto, changed his name in middle 'age to John Cabot, when he moved
from Venice to London and discovered Newfoundland for the British.
,
It has been going on ever since--not merely among performers, but in
public life as well: at least four U. S. Presidents so disliked their first
~ames" that they abandoned them' for professional careers:
Hiram Ulysses
Grant, steven Grover Cleveland, Thomas Woodrol'll' Wilson, and John Calvin
Collidge.
, , ' , ' That probably began when CaiuaJuliua Caesar dropped his first name,
too--no doubt ~oWiiig that his family name would live'Jon in KING, CZAR,
and KAISER. There is far more in',.a: name than wide-eyed little Juliet
ever reailized.
