Many sizeable tasks have been undertaken. The gathering and preserving of the older records from our county is certainly going forward with great gusto. The largest project, 6f course, being the complete cemetery census of Douglas County. The many people who contributed to this mammoth task and will continue to contribute until it has been completed will have the unending gratitude of this writer. The many people, both local and those who are in touch by mail or telephone, contributed many hours of their time and interest although they were not in our society. To all of them, a big "THANKS". But, honorable mention must be made of the special people who helped read the stones in the severe cold last winter. This took much determination on their part and great dedication to the task set before them. 'Because they worked such long, cold hours, I want to here recognize each one: Harold Graves Wilma Vaughn I1ah,Derrick Peter Vo1ding Don Vaughn Maxine Hougland Judy Sweets Jane Wi.ggins Grace Embers Ruby Puckett Dorothy Wiggins Ramona Sedlak John Banta Jo Ann Transmeier Iona Spencer Shirley Herbert Pauline E1niff Vivian Clough Amy Corbett Maxine Graves Martha Parker Let's keep going forward. Sincerely, Jean Snedeger ******** EDITOR'S MESSAGE The one person who is missing from the list above without whom the Cemetery Project would not have progressed to where it is today is out President, Jean Snedeger. Her enthusiasm and dedication to this important task have been extraordinary. The record shows that during the past year she has copied more than 15,000 Douglas county cemetery stones. She deserves our sincere gratitude. I wish to thank all of those people who continue to contribute their time and material to "The Pioneer." If there are particular articles or records which you would like to see in future issues of "The Pioneer," please let me know. Your suggestions are always welcome.

His~father had died during the battle of Mt. Kenesaw in 1864. His widowed. mother was left to care for Rolf, his sister Irene and brother, Francelo. Rolf., the youngest, cared for his ailing mother until her death in 1888. Irene had died in 1885 and her husband had disappeared previously, leaving Rolf to raise their three children. Rolf married in 1891 to Fanny Josephine WILLIAMS'. She was 14, he 30. Fanny's widowed mother mistakenly thought that Rolf had come to court her rather than Fanny, since she was closer to his age. Fanny and. Rolf had ten children: Orville Orvest (1893-1934); Clella Elsie (1895); Melvin Millard (1897-1973); Fay Etta (1899); Nina Hazel (1901); Iram Rueben (1906-1907); Alta Ruby (1903-. ); Leslie Elmer (1908-1971); Bernice Irene (1915-1948); and Viva Ariel 1912-1916). This information was submitted by Nancy Ellen Robinson, granddaughter of Clella MURRAY TAPLEY. Nancy has in her possession an autograph book of her grandmother's containing autographs of Clella's classmates of 1912 at Kanwaka School in Lawrence. If you would like to have her check and see if your ancestors signed it, please send a SASE to Nancy Robinson, 236 W. Gregory Road, Central Point, OR 97502.

Abstracted from an article by Edward Bumgardner in the Journal World, (Lawrence, Kansas), Saturday. August 23. 1941. The recent dismantllng of the old Quaker church in east Lawrence and the use of part of the material for the construction of a new temple of worship makes the present seem to be an appropriate time to recount briefly the history of the old church and pay tribute to the memory of some of the worthy citizens who were accustome~ to assemble under its roof. Soon after the settlement of Indiana Quakers at Springdale. Kansas in 1857. came the founding ot a Quaker settlement about ' twelve miles east of Lawrence. The 'first settlers were Jonathan and Phoebe MENDENHALL. Lev1 and Sarah WOODARD. and George ROGERS. This community was called Springfield. In 1869. Springfield. thereafter known as HESPER. requested a qUarterly meeting wh1ch wasse,t upon the f1fth of the th1rd month of 1870. At one time H'e'sper had a membership of 1400. . The "fIrst Quaker meeting 1n Lawrence was held in July. 1863. \:-- , less than a month before Quantril1"fs raid. In 1865. several . Quaker families settled 1n Lawrence. Washington HADLEY was the f1rst to settle here. He was to become the f1rst president of the National Bank of Lawrence. the president of the gas company. served two terms as mayor of Lawrence. and took an act1ve part in the format1on,of the yearly meeting after serving as the first clerk of the ReS'pST' Quarterly meeting. The f1rstpreacher for the Lawrence congregation was Mrs. M. Cox. who served from 1867 to 1879 without pay. She was succeeded by Wil11am NICHOLSON. The first supported pastor in the state was John VI~NEDGE. who ministered to the HOMESTEAD monthly meet1ngs in 1886. The first paid pastor in Lawrence was William WOOTEN. who served from 1897 to 1908. ' The Kansas Yearly Meet1ng of Friends was organized in 1872 and figured in notable migrat10n of Friends to Kansas. The Fr1ends ~eet1ng house stood on a knoll 1n east Lawrence from 1872 to the present summer (1941). Stone and lumber from the old structure were used in the new Friends church at ,S:ixteenth and New Hampshire streets. ' The first meet1ng 1n the new temple Was in October. 1872. The total attendance was estimated at 3000. That was more than the total number reported by the four qUarterly meetings. (Springdale had 536 members; Hesper 720; Cottonwood 594; and Spring River 767) . ..' ',i , Other Lawrence area Quakers mentioned in this rather lengthy article were: Richard A. COX. Mahlon H. NEWLIN. Albert L.• COX. "" John M. NEWLIN. Edmund STANLEY. Joh:ij D. MILES. Laban J. MILES. . . . . Mrs. A. HENLEY. and Walter Roscoe STUBBS. who later became Govet-n6r' of the state of Kansas.

By using the pedigree chart you can easily construct your own Ahnentafel. For example. counting yourself as number one (Hl) on your pedigree chart. simply transfer your name and pedigree number and your year and state (or country) of birth to the top of the Ahnentafel chart. The names and dates of your parents. (#2 and #3) • are then listed in numerical order under your name 'on the. chart. 'rhen begin listing your paternal grandparents' names and dates in their numertcal order. followed by your maternal grandparents. Continue in this manner. listing as many of your ancestors as you have on your pedigree chart. The empty spaces on your pedigree chart are skipped completely on your Ahnentafel chart. 'l'hus. i f you kno..., the name of your paternal great-grandfather. but not the name of yC'ur paternal great-grandmother. you would list his name (#8). skip her·number (#9) and go on to person #10. Using the following examples of an actual pedigree and ahnentafel. it is easy to see in what manner the Ahnentafel was constructed. Gail lists herself as #1. followed by her father (#2) and her mother (1f3). She then lists her paternal grandparents (H4 and #5). her maternal grandparents (#6 and #7) and her paternal great-grandparents (#8.#9.#10 & #1.1) • Sl..nce the names of her maternal great-grandparents are at this time unknown. their numbers are not written on the Ahnentafel chart. Instead. the next number and name listed is that of the paternal greatgreat-grandfather (#16), whose name is known. Remember that a father's number is always twice that ~f his child's, while a mother's number is always one more than her husband's. Looking at our example. notice that the father of Frank Garrett (#4) is Marcus Garrett (2 X #4= #8) , while his mother is Clara Belle Speer (#8+1=#9). To find the child of Edwin M.• Jenkins (#10). simply divide by two and find that #5 (Nona Jenkins) is his daughter. Because of their compact quality, Ahnentafels are handy for exchanges with other genealogists and show at a glance which ancestors you have knowledge of and which ones you are still seeking. On the following page we show the Ahnentafel of one of our members. Gail' Garrett Van Loenen. what not try to construct· your ~ Ahnentafel. using the steps outlined above?

It was the first public burying ground for the use of citizens of Lawrence. Much of the early history of Lawrence may be reconstructed in the mind of the observer by reading the inscriptions on the moss covered and broken head stones in the cemetery. The cemetery is located southwest of the University, on the road leading from the campus to Number Six school. It is a six-acre plot, a little north of the center of the east side of the NE quarter of .section 2, township 13, range 19. According to information compiled by Elmer E. BROWN, the land where the cemetery is located was preempted by Aaron PERRY. It was established soon after the settlement of Lawrence and burial was by permission and without system or plot. Burials may have been. made prior to 1855 but the first burial by marked monument was that of Cornelius C&~BE~L. The inscription on the stone says that he died on April 22, 1855 at the age of 56 years. The second oldest burial, according to marked stones, was that of Carl G. RAU. The third burial was that of Thomas W. BARBER, who died on December 6, 1855. QUANTRILL's raid on August 21, 1863 added many new gra"es to the cemetery. Most of the victims were interred there but upon opening Oak Hill cemetery in 1865 many bodies of QUANTRILL's victims were moved to the new burial ground. A suitable monument was erected to the victims. According to stones remaining in the old burial grounds a large number of the victims of the raid still rest where they were first buried. The reinterment of the QUANTRILL victims was carried out in 1872. Elmer E. BROWN says the G.A.R., thru the efforts of C.W. SMITH, applied to the government for markers for the graves of the Wisconsin soldiers and these were finally received and set up by Charlie APITZ under the direction of SMITH. Some 20 of these markers are still in the Pioneer plot. BROWN says that thru the efforts of Mr. SMITH funds were raised to build a monument to the unknown dead of the Civil war. O. WHIPPLE, a plasterer and stone mason and a member of the G.A.R., built a monument of brick and plastered it. Metal letters forming an inscription were placed on it but have long since fallen away. BROWN says the cemetery was once surrounded by a well-laid dry rock wall fence. Boys after rabbits tore down the wall and the stone was gradually hauled away. �31 A black locust thicket grew over most of the ground and when the surroundi~g property came into the possession of N.A. GWIN, he made the proposition that if materials were furnished he would fence the ground and turn his herd of goats in to clean off the brush. The fence was built and the brush cleared away. Early in the history of the cemetery, N.P. DEMING found that the deed to property held by him to the north of the cemetery covered all or a part of the cemetery, and BROWN says C.W. SMITH raised $135 to purchase the land from DEMING. The deed was made on April 1, 1867. The following, written by W.C. SIMONS, is taken from the Lawrence Journal World of May 11, 1915: "BEAUTIFUL OLD FORGOTTEN CEMETERY" Tragic story of the early days of Lawrence written in stone where early martyrs rest. Records have been lost and many of the dead have been forgotten. The cemetery came into disuse more than forty years ago, when Oak Hill was opened. Within five minutes walk from Mount Oread, with its teeming life, is a quiet and beautiful city of the dead in which sleep those who passed away during the early daYS,,~/of Lawrence. Originally a stony knoll, overlooking the Wakarusa, it has now a spot of great beauty shaded by trees planted by loving hands many ago. ~ere sleep early settlers, men,who fell in the border warfare martyrs to freedom and beside them sleep little babes, who, if they lived, would now be old men and women, for this quiet and forgotten was used sixty years ago. become years as had cemetery Here, too, rest a large number of soldiers from Wisconsin regiments, probably little more than boys when they marched away from their homes in the sixties, and for half a century they have been resting with their faces turned toward the azure blue of a Kansas sky. The story of epidemics which swept away the little ones is told by a large number of little slabs bearing almost the same date. Perhaps it was scarlet fever, or diphtheria, before the modern anti-toxins of today were known, but whatever it was it robbed: the poor homes of the early settlers of Lawrence of their dearest treasures. Character there is also in the monuments still standing or lying broken on the ground. We find the ephemeral American policy of show in a stucco monument to "tile unknown dead and the solid, enduring work of the Germans in solid granite set about with iron posts and chains which show little wear for their half century of exposure. It was a long way to the old settler, perhaps two miles from Massachusetts s,treet and it was then up almost inaccessible hills, but those who were living followed the bodies of their dead and planted trees which have now grown to large proportions. Even these old trees show the marks of storms which have blown across the hill and have left broken branches and twisted trunks. �32 As nearly as can be learned, this old cemetery, which has been known as Oread,was opened in 1854 or 55,within a year after the town of Lawrence was founded. At the corner nearest the city are some evergreens which were planted by the late N.P. DEMING to mark the graves of his parents. Old Mr. DEMING loved trees and together with Chancellor MARVIN years ago planted the walnuts which have grown into the beautiful grove just north of the university buildings. The very large proportion of soldiers from the Third Wisconsin cavalry buried in the old cemetery is said to be due to the prevalence of an epidemic--Wi11iam CRUTCHFIELD says Cho1era--that was prevailing here while this regiment was in camp enroute to some more southerly point. Others admit the prevalence of disease but do not think it was cholera. Mr. EDWARDS and Mr. HUDDLESTON remember the unusual mortality among the Wisconsin men while the Third was temporarily here, but as stated, they do not agree with Mr. CRUTCHFIELD as to the cause. All the burials of the men from the Wisconsin regiment seem to have been made in the old cemetery, and more of them, in fact, than the old headstones disclose, because some of the bodies, none knows how many, have been taken up and sent East, and still others are in Oak Hill. The Wisconsin regiment did not have any fight while here, all are positive, and they are certain its mortality was caused by disease. Not a line of the original records about the old cemetery are in existence, so far as the Oak Hill cemetery officials 'and the old settlers know. The Rev. L.R. NICHOLS, who died in Lawrence in 1858 and was buried in the old cemetery and whose body is yet there, is described by William CRUTCHFIELD as "A young preacher, probably 21 years old, who did not have any pastorate, but 'preached around' here and there." He had not been ordained, Mr. CRUTCHFIELD thinks, but was a divinity student out getting experience. He died of a fever. Charles L. EDWARDS remembers distinctly the first death in Lawrence, and remembers seeing the funeral procession wind about the foot.and slopes of Mount Oread on its way westward. Mr. Edwards was not at the burial, but was very certain the interment was made in the old cemetery and that it was the first interment therein. The dead man was name~d POMEROY (from ANDRES history the name is Moses POMEROY)" and he was a near relative of S.C. POMEROY, afterwards United States senator from Kansas. David C. BUFFMAN, who is buried in the old cemetery, and who died September 17, 1856, was shot by men, probably "border Ruffians, II who robbed him of his horses while he was working±~ the field. He resisted, or at least protested, and was murdered in cold blood. He did not die at the time, but lingered, and was able to tell how he came to meet his death. This-incident Mr. EDWARDS remembers distinctly. Thomas W. BARBER, an uncle of O.P. BARBER, of Lawrence, died at a point on the highway four miles west of Lawrence, December 6, 1855, under the following circumstances; He and his brother Robert and Thomas PIERSON, brother-in-law of the BARBERS, were returning to their homes eight miles southwest of Lawrence, following the old California road. They had reached a point where their �33 route swerved from the California road toward the southwest when they saw at a distance to the northwest a party of men supposed by them to number a hundred or so. As they looked two of the three men rode away from the main body and "cutting across" intercepted them. The Lawrence men anticipated no trouble and did not run. As they came up to the two men one of the latter engaged the~ in conversation, and asked them where they were from. Thomas BARBER answered, "Lawrence." One of the two, a quite young man, then began to curse and said, "Why don't you fellows obey the law?" and pulling a pistol fired directly at Thomas BARBER's chest, and followed . it up with a shot aimed at Robert BARBER's groin. This second shot passed through the saddle seat and into the horse Robert BARBER was riding. All five then put spurs to their horses, riding directly away. from each other-one party eastward, the other westward. Robert BARBER, the only one of the Lawrence men armed, shot at the two retreating men several times, and it is thought he slightly wounded one of them. About a hundred yards west of where the shooting took place Thomas BARBER sank from his horse, saying he was shot. The others dismounted and Thomas died a few moments later. The slayer of BARBER was never identified. Thomas BARBER was born in 1814, and came to Kansas from New Paris, Ohio. Following is given the names and some of the data to be found on the stones: Caro1ita M., daughter of W. M. and M. L. BURHANS, July 25, 1868, aged 19 months At Rest, Jacob S., son of Absolom and Anna T. HOLCOMB, June 7, 1871, age 16 years. (This slab which stands erect has been used as a mark by hunters.) L. F. AHRBERG, June 12, 1865. L. M. HOLTZLANDER, Oct. 13, 1864. (This monument is leaning against a tree and the grave it formerly marked may have been opened.) A large stucco monument is marked with a copper slab upon which appeared originally in white letters the following inscription: "To the unknown dead Union Soldiers of the Civil war." A broken slab, with a hand pointing upwards, was marked: Frances M., wife ofJ.C. CUNNINGHAM, Aug. 12, 1864. "I know that my Redeemer liveth." Nearby are a large number of stones evidently furnished by the Federal government to mark the graves of soldiers. Simply the name and company is given and if one wishes further information there are somewhere the original rosters of the companies. Adam ARIS, Co. B. 1st. Wis. E.S. SMITH, Co. A. 1st. Wis.

These two stones, which bear the mark of Ech'lb'ry and Cribb LEAVENWORTH, evidently tell the sad story of two brothers called but two weeks apart. Margaret J. SWEEZER, Aug. 26, 1855, 2 years. Beside some large evergreens is a stone marked: - Martha GRAHAM, Mar. 11, 1858, Age 53. Louisa O. GRAHAM, Feb. 7, 1858, Age 17. "The Lord is my Shepherd I'll not want." Wife and Daughter of Jno. M. GRAHAM. James HALL, May 5, 1867. Age 54. At this grave is a locust tree nearly two feet in diameter and about it are a number of graves ~arked with ordinary stones. In the south-western part. of the cemetery are a lot of graves, no telling just how many, simply marked with the plain limestone pi~ked up in the cemetery and placed to mark the grave temporarily until a better mark could be secured. Those who placed their loved ones there have forgotten them and today there is probably no one who cares. Delia DILLARD, Died 1863. Age 73. A masonic insignia also marked the stone of John BERRY, Jan. 30, 1869. Age 25 years. "Meet me in Heaven" are the words above a carved hand holding a bouquet and below appears Samuel JONES, Feb. 5, 1868. Age 26. , In Memory of Francis KILLAM, May 25, 1857. Age 53. "Blessed' are Dead who die in the Lord." Mary Ann, Daughter of L.C. & E. PEET, April 10, 1857. Age 1 year.

MAIER, mit ihremkind. The stone is of solid granite and shows no wear while the four heavy iron posts connected with chains will stand for a hundred years to come. The best translation the writer could make is "Husband. Carl G. RAU born May 22, 1827, died Nov. 4, 1855. Erected by the widow, Elise born MAIER, with their child." In memory of Cornelius CAMPBELL Apr. 22, 1855. Age 56. is half buried. This stone �35 Thomas W. BARBER, born Feb. 22, 1814, died Dec. 6, 1855.

As I am so you must be, prepare for death and follow me." He was loved in life and That monument makers could make some queer freaks in the way of stone cutting is shown by the following verse which is given line for tine as it appears on the stone: Cl<}ra M., daughter of Jas. "Oour sweet little child has gone, der sky To mansions above you-To gaze on the beautiful throne on high Of him who is seated" o. and S.J. BALDWIN, Oct. 14, 1~62. Cary H., son of J.O. and S.J.

MATTHEWS, died Nov. 3, 1861, age 19 "She was lovely she was fair And for awhile was given An angel came and claimed his own And bore her home to heaven." ye~rs. Mr. MATTHEWS apparently loved his young wife dearly and in two months he joined her for the next slab reads: J.W. MATTHEWS, Jan. 7, 1862, age 29. "Cease dear friends (rest·of line cannot be read) Above the spot where I am sleeping When: Christ appears I shall arise And I. hope to meet you in the skies.1! Lucy Jane COAT, daughter of G.

Infant son and daughter of L.S. and L.A. STEELE Abraham BLAKELY, Dec. 19, 1864. Age 53 Chas. A. BLAKELY, May 31, 1864. Age 28 J.R. BLAKELY's grave is also marked by a government stone with his name and "Co. F.9 N.Y. H.A." An iron railing nearby surrounds a child's grave but there are no marks to indicate the name. Henry B. SHAW, Sept. 22, 1858. Age 23. John T., son of David and Mary EVANS, Apr. 12, 1864. Age 15 mos. A stone upon which the name STEARNS and the date 64 could be made out was so deeply buried that the rest of the inscription could not be read. There is evidence of an old trail leading through the cemetery and Mrs. Paul R. BROOKS says that this road was open and used after the cemetery was abandoned, but was finally ordered closed. The grounds were not fenced until taken over by Mr. GWIN to be pastured by his goats. A concensus of the opinions of E. HUDDLESTON, William CRUTCHFIELD and Charles L. EDWARDS indicates pretty conclusively that the old cemetery which was deserted in 1865 was abandoned for the most part because it was comparatively inaccessible--much more so at least than the Oak Hill Cemetery. Much of the distance was up a stiff grade, and the new site proved so much more popular that after the new cemetery was opened internments out there practically ceased. The soil in the old cemetery is said to be for the most part not so fertile as in Oak Hill, and that fact had considerable influence in the abandonment. --LATER INFORMATION GATHERED IN 1939"":Alfred PEAKE.

No record of the location of Charles STARKWEATHER reports that the STARKWEATHER family was living over the ALLEN hardware store at the N.E. corner of Massachusetts and Seventh streets at the time of Quantrill's raid. Burials of the following members of the STARKWEATHER family were made in Pioneer cemetery. Mary E. MOORE, grandmother of Charles STARKWEATHER, was born in North Carolina, came to Kansas in April, 1863, died fall of 1872, aged about 80 years. John Noble STARKWEATHER, born in Vermont in 1828, came to Kansas in March, 1863, died in November, 1870. (Father of Charles STARKWEATHER) Oscar STARKWEATHER, born in Lawrence and died in 1868, age one year. Not a line of the original records about the old cemetery are in existence, so far as the Oak Hill cemetery officials and the old settlers knew. The date shown on the monument for Sarah PEAKE, Sept. 23, 1882, was the latest date to be found in the cemetery when Hastie compiled his Record of Cemeteries of Douglas County, Kansas, in 1939. This probably marks one of the last burials to be made in the nineteenth century in this cemetery. Burials were made again beginning in the 1960's.
