have accomplished many things in the first half of this year. Our
membership means we are moving forward with great strides, and we

welcome the new friendships, and the warm feeling that comes from working
together.
Our financial situation has never been better, enabling our society to
undertake even more worthwhile projects.
We now are incorporated, and have arranged for bulk mailing for our
"Pioneers"·and Newsletters.
It has been a busy six months of money-making projects. Our booth with
the "Independence Day" celebration gained many memberships for us. Our bake
sale at the Lawrence sidewalk bazaar brought together many of our members
who not only donated "goodies" to sell, but endured the hot weather to work
in the booth.
Our workshop in September was a memorable success. With Arlene Eakle
as our speaker, how could we fail? We all came away wishing we could hear
more from this very knowledgeable lady.
We have Hugh Stouppe and his daughter, Janet Payne, to thank, for the
success of our booth at the Maple Leaf

~estival

in Baldwin, they did a

terrific job of organizing, which allowed us to become acquainted with many
new people, and for the selling of our publications.
A special thanks to Ramona Sedlak, and Maxine Hougland for,the garage
sales which added over $450.00 to our bank account. This was a big job for
these two hard working ladies.
Honorable mention for Jane Wiggins who is responsible for our "Mini"
workshop held the third Saturday afternoon of each month, at

th~

Lawrence

Public Library. This is a "help-day" for any member who wishes to attend.
Jane is also responsible for our excellent Newsle.tter.. She is assisted by
Zona Smith.
This has been a very productive time for this society, but none of
these events would have been possible without excellent board

me~bers,

committee chairman, and the many people who helped - each one a very important part of our society. Let's keep working together, and moving forward.
Thanks to all for making the first half of this year a success.
Sincerely,

They tell me.
"Why don' t you get a n1 ce new s e t '
.
Of matching dishes? Throw these reliCS outl"
Dispose ot these. my ·friends? On never----This plate is tram the set my mother chose tor me.
The rest have all been gone these many years;
And here's her teapot. how the memory clings
Of gentle hands and tender. loving smiles.
Oh. nol This sugar bowl with handle chipped
Reminds me of the babe who long ago
Pulled on the cloth; my. my the messl
But only the handle chipped. 1 love it sol
This bowl. too large for shrunken family now.
Was my Great-GrandlllalDl&amp;'s. her full. hard life
And many chlldren speak through all the years
When 1 enjoy this bowl and polish it.
And this candy dish brings haunting memories
Of home-made fudge. Christmas trees. candles
And all the wonder of a young girl's heart.
A beloved Aunt on·ce treasured this small cup
And now it's mine to remember and to love.
These dishes are all treasures. memories

or fam1ly and friends and happy days.

Each time 1 use them. wash them. handle them.
My family is much closer. gathering 'round
To bring support and much remembered love.

GENEALOGICAL TIP

~~.

"Jane DOE. born 4-6-96". Have you ever received a pedlgrae
chart or a family· group sheet w1th a date wr1 tten in t.hls
manner? It so. you may have wondered, "Does thls mean that
Jane was born on April 6. 1'896 or June 4, 18961" You may
even have been unsure ot the correct century.
To av01d confus10n. genealog1sts would do well to adopt a
standardlzed way of writ1ng dates on thelr genealogical forms.
(l.e •• day. month and year). The month should be spelled out
but may be abbreviated. The year should have four d1g1ts. For
example: John SMITH, born 7 Mar 1856 and Mary DOE. born 10 Jul
1791.

MH ls an lnherlted muscle abnorma11ty, character1zed by
react10ns to several drugs normally used dur1ng anaesthes1a.
Boy, what a buncQ" of b1g words. Let· s cut the red tape and $et
r1ght down to what 1s MR. Whenever you sm1le. talk. or move a·
muscle. a body funct10n takes place without your knowledge. The
muscle creates Calc1um. In creat1ng calc1um. the mus:cle also
develops heat. The heat 1s normally d1ss1pated by the body w1th
no problem. e1ther ln a MH person or a non-MH person.
So what ls the problem? The problem lles 1n the: MH person
l:S.ng unknown to medical personnel. If a MH person rece1ves an
lnhalatlonal anaesthetlc. used under normal condltlons. the
anaesthetlc could falsely ask the body for more calclum. up to
).000 t1mes the normal amount. Thls causes a vast lncrease ln
hea t. whlch lf not reversed. 1 s fa t a l . :
Now I may ask. what 1s all thls med1cal talk dolng ln a
genealoglcal publl'.ca.tl0n.'f Well. MH 1s a genea10g1cal' problem.
Re search done by Dr. B. -.ftl'!J.. t,t .of Toronto. Canada, sho~s that
her MR patlents trace thelr ancestors back to the Acadlan llne
of DUPUIS. To be prec1se, George DUPUIS and Flave BONNEVILLE.
marrled 12 Nov 18)8, ln~·St. Anlcet. PQ.
What you have read £;&amp;'0 far ls fact. In all falrn~ss to thls
art1cle and: to the read~;r. I feel that I must 1ntrodu~e myself.
My name ls R1chard Tomsha.ck and I. have :been d01ng genealogy for
some 10 or 12 years. I do th1s str1c:.tly as'a hobby. I also
have no formal educatlon beyond h1gh school. I th1nk thls 1s
1mportant to thls art1cle. I say thls because I may say someth1ng 1n th1s art1cle that mayor may not confllct w1th Dr. Br1tt.
I would ~~ke to polnt out at th1s t1me. that Dr. Br1tt 1s
a world ret:t::o.~#.~'~'~d.gQ~~~:'ar1d very qua11fled\1WOrk1ng w1th MH. Now
to f1n1sh th1'Ef' artlcle. I have talked w1 th varlous people, both
lay and doctors. and have read various med1cal journal~ and MH
pamphlets. It appears to me that MH 1s a product of ~ ethnlc
group, w1th numerous Consangu1nous marr1ages. If th1s,be fact,
then 1twould hold true w1th the 'descendants of Sylva1n DUPUIS
and Franco1se LeBLANC. marrled ca. 1745. rehab. Assumpt10n 1767.
All MH pat1ents . traced by Dr. Britt. are descendants of th1s
l1ne. Both DuPUIS and LeBLANC lead back to Acad1a, as opposed
to French Quebec. At th1s polnt, Dr. Brl tt agrees w1th me. (or
I w1th her) that th1s DuPUIS line has someth1ng to do w1th Ma. I
hope to conv1nce her of the LeBLANC connect10n. at our next
meeting (sch_~du).ed for late Se.p.tember 1982) . : ' . :: '-- .-.~:~-::,,~ "', ',\:.

Malignant Hyperthermia continued:
Britt plans to enter all this informatlon in a computer. On
a national scale. a doctor will then be able to check:,;-the"
computer. prlor to sutgery. and see if you are part of an--1'IH
line. Prior to surgery lsi"lfthe key,. If they know beforehand
a person is of an MH;]:l'ne.d1fferent procedures can be used
1n the operat1ng room.:" Ii1.owledge prior to surgery will give the
doctors a few extra, min~es that may save a l1fe. I'll never
know 1f my work gave a doctor a few· extra minutes. or 1f I saved
a life with my work. I'll only know that I tr1ed.

There are other lnteresting artlcles about Malignant
Hyperthermla in Vol 25. Nos. 2.3 and 4 (1978-79) of tbe Wiscons1n
State Genealogical Soclety Newsletter taken from articles in the
Milwaukee Sentinel.
In these art1cles. Ma11gnant Hyperthermia is called. "a
hereditary dlsease of the muscle that affects hundreds of fam1l1es
1n the Midwest." Some excerpts from thj article are:' "W1scons1n
ls a hot spot." ·'One of the longest affected' blood11nes 1n the
world extends lnto the state. Its known lineage stretches back
• nine generatlons to the early 1800's. Its roots are planted 1n
what Was Bohemia. now Czechoslovakia. n "Phys1c1ans have cmnstruct ...
ed lnterlock1ng genealogies with about 3.000 names. The genealogles were gathered from hundreds of 1nterviews witn fam1ly members
and by search1ng through courthouse records and fam1l~ B1bles
for birth. ,marriage and death records. About 40 surnames have
been 1dentified."
A "local genealogy buff, 74 year old Alfned Straub has put
together the family trees of about 75 clans 1n the Marathon
county area. One of those genealog1es 1s 190 pages long and
includ~s the names that have appeared most often on hosp1tal
records of unexpla1ned deaths follOWing anesthes1a." M~~. Straub
ls credlted wlth saving 5-10 11ves because of h1s genealog1cal
research work.

Dear Annie:
'
After dinner I looked at the couch then at the desk and decided in
favor of the desk. I t is a bright day but cold, i f it hadn't rained
.I-+~
yesterday Jessie thought she would try going to Eudora. I haven't been
II ~
anywhere since before Christmas. They will surely think I have gone
,
south for the winter, or something else. What do you think we have been
l'
doing? I have been braiding the front of my new dress and Jessie has
embroidered two white waists for herself. I must try and get my dress
done for Easter.
\+.
Your letter was very interesting. We laughed over your going as
far as your money would take you. Tell Mary we don't want always to be
;~
sensible and I liked my valentine. Mrs. DOUGHERTY sent Jessie and I
i~
each a lace one such as pleased 'us when we were younger. Mrs. D. is in
!~
Lawrence. She expects to come home on Tuesday. Ella is in K.C. most
of the time but comes to Lawrence Tuesdays and Fridays. S. S. is still
:'i'
in Des Moines. Did you know that Ethel has a little daughter, born
: +.:
Jan. 27?
,
I would have liked to see the Air ships, but I do not feel like
I,' "j;1
trusting myself to them yet. Your Calla lilies would be beautiful but
I love the ·roses. I have some hyacinths.: and crocus in bloom and Jessie
I "j:f
brought me.a fine geranium from town, We have enjoyed watching them. I
~~
hope this will reach you before you leave Santa Monica. How soon are
~~
;+.
you coming home? I must write to father's brother. He celebrated his
90th birthday the 11th of this month, went 4 miles on the trolley and
!~
took supper with his sister-in-law and some old friends. Our Chicago
aunt died Jan. 7. It was her 77 birthday. We miss her. She wrote to
+.,
us and we are getting to be so few. Lots of love to all of you, M r s . : t
POOL included.

DEERCREEK-DIST-No.-48--~·
L.

There were at least two early schools in the Stull community before Kansas became a state. One
was about one and one-haH miles south of Stull on the farm owned by August Kampschroeder.
The other, dated about 1860, was two and one-haH miles southwest. of Stull near a rOck quarry
on August Waiters' place. This was a two-room log cabin on a bluff at the foot of which was a
well, and was a community undertaking taught by a parent or teacher paid by subscription.
Children came to it from a good many miles .around; church and Sunclay school.also were held
there with a Mr. Brown dOing the preaching and living in a house afterward occupied by Christy
Petefish.
The next schoolhouse was a frame building located about one-half mile west and one mile north
of Stull on the southeast comer of what is now the farm of Wm Henry Jr. It was built by Peter
Eberhart Sr., for the use of his own children, with a teacher hired and paid by him. A year or so
later, John Damn Sr., and Jacob Hildenbrand offered to pay part of the expenses if their children .
too, could go to this school. Other parents then asked for the same privilege and the enrollment
thus increased. This school operated for at least five years.
On August 1; 1879, E.S. Lane and Lucinda Lane his wife, Cleeded to the Board of District No.
48, one and one-forth acres of land described as follows: beginning at the Northeast comer of the
N.W. 1/4 of Sec. 36, T. 12, R. 17, thence running West 12 1/2 rods, thence South 16 rods,
tbenceEast 12 1/2 rods, thence North 16 rods.to place o(beginning. Trusplot was to return to
the original estate, should its use for school purposes be terminated •.
Mr. Eberhart's schoolhouse is assumed tei have been purchased by the district, and not being
centrally located, was moved to this newly acquired site. This was done with a stump-puller and .
horses. The building had to be anchored every fifty to one-hundred feet, winched forward far as
it would go, then re-anchored further on and the process repeated as many times as necessary to
get the job done. The task consumed two weeks. Apparently, education wasn't something to be
rushed into.
.
When set on the new site, the schoolhouse faced east, ~d was furnished with walnut benches
having at" least three pupils to each one. It was painted brown on the outside,and named' 'BroWn
Jug" in consequence. However, the name was eventually discarded, the building painted white
and re-named "Deer Creek, " for the little creek that flows nearby.
An old record of 1886, shows the teacher's salary for that entire term was $210.00 and the cost
of ,incidentals, $22:QQ.·

KANSAS RIVER STEAMBOATS
fvlany of us in this -2bfh--Century have-wondered if there VJere any steamboats on the
Kansas river. As we see it today, it is nothing but a small stream, hardly a rowboat
can navigate on it. Many of us have seen the days when this river could rampage and
vJipe out homes and many a crop land. VJith the lakes VJe now have, they keep this old
river pretty \'/ell under control and we fear not of it flooding. There is a'very interesting story that has been passed down through the generations and also appeared
in the first newspaper of Lecompton called ;Tb.~. Jecompton Union" in 1856 about a sidewheeler that navigated the Kansas river. At this time Mrs. Rachel Jane Todhunter, an
early pioneer lady of Lecompton and some other ladies saw a side-wheeler called the
~Saerie QueenHtied up at the wharf. The ladies looked upon the beautiful deck of the
side-wheeler and thought what a wonderful place to have a Ball. Mrs. Todhunter.was
well acquainted v/ith tk. Geary, the governor of the Kansas Territory, so she and the
ladies approached him and asked him to persuade the Captain of the boat to have a Ball
that evening.on the boat. The Captain was agreeable, so the ladies hurried about the
communi,ty spreading the vJord so everyone could prepare their costumes for the evening.
The Captain readied the boat, the music was found and that evening the Ball was held.
The ladies hadct,*~en their ball gowns out of their trunks and displayed their glittering attire for'the first time in the Kansas Territory. This was probably the first
Ball he,ld in the Territory of Kansas. This shovJed the pioneers~ ability to contrive to
have a wonderful time under such difficult circumstances-at that time.
Another interesting article appeared in a later newspaper of Lecompton, called
,"The
Kansas National ' Democrat' on Ivlarch 24, 1859 is as follows:
-',
\\The first trip of the season from Kansas City to this place via Kaw river VJas made
by the Steamer"Silver Lake": Capt. vJilburn, on Monday last. It is a fine sternwhee1
steamer, capable of carrying 50 tons, and well calculated vIe think for the busine,ss of
the river. Through the persuasions of our citizens, on Tuesday morning, the Captain
went up the river as far as Topeka. We were informed by the Captain that some of the
citizens of Lawrence endeavored to dissuade him from coming to this place, stating the
river unnaiJigab1e. The Captain informs that the worst bar in the whole river, he
found below Lawrence. We hope to see the~i1ver LakeUcontinue her trips regularly to
this place and would urge upon our citizens the importance of extending to her a
generous support.N
Andther article in the same paper on May 12, 1859-~This week our wharf has been
enlivened by the arrival of two steamboats, the GUS LINN and SILVER LAKE. The GUS LINN
left Kan,sas City on the 10th instant, and reached here on the 12th, and then proceeded
above as , far as Fort Riley. ~Je think that she will be able, as the river is in good
boatable, order to reach that place.
'
The, SILVER LAKE discharged all her freight here, and took on board a cargo of
corn, and left for Kansas City.,It is the intention of the owners of these boats to run them the entire season up
the Ka~, w~ich, from their light draught of water, vIe think they can. This enterprise,
of navlg~t~ng the Kaw, should, and \"Je.have reason to believe will be warmly seconded
b~ th~ cltlZens of the towns on the rlVer. Merchants having goods at Kansas City \'Ii11
flnd lt much cheaper to have them shipped by either of these steamers than have them
hauled in wagons--an old foggy way of doing. N

Boy Meets Girl
In the spring of 1909 I met Hattie Mae ROSE. She had come to the
~rackett Rural School to take her ninth grade finals.
She arrived on a
horse equipped with a sidesaddle--the first I had ever seen. We got
acquainted that day. Since she had to pass our place on her way to town,
I also was able to see her occasionally then. Later on we sometimes went
to the Baptist Church together on Sundays.
From that point we began to take in an occasional show at the "Nickel",
the first moving picture show west of the Mississippi River. After the
show, we could be found at Wiedemann's Confectionary Shop",-' drinking hot
chocolate topped with either whipped cream or ice cream, and for another
f:ive cents, a bowl of oyster crackers to accompany it.
Another thing about our early acquaintance that I shall never forget
was rece~v~ng a valentine from Hattie.
About this time Hattie joined the Baptist Church. Rev. D.C. BROWN
was its pastor. I remember him particularly as being accustomed to riding
out from Lawrence on his bicycle two Sunday afternoons each month to hold
services in the Barker School House. We often attended and I still claim
the Baptist Church as my own even though I never became a member of it.
In the summer of 1910 I left home and went to work for S.M. GENTRY,
a farmer who lived near enough to Hattie's home so that I could walk to
see her frequently at her parents' home where she lived 'along with her
four younger-not-too-angelic brothers.
Cdurtship Via Horse and Saddle
Hattie attended high school for one and one-half years, rooming with
the Jay BOND family in Lawrence, but illness caused her to leave school
and prevented her returning later, so 'she went to work as a clerk, first
in the Housemen's Clothing Store, then at Barteldes Seed Store and later at
the Kaw Valley Creamery.
An incident occurred about 1912 that I recall vividly. Hattie was
rooming at the Healey Home, 712 Kentucky Street, where several o,ther girls
also stayed. One evening when I arrived by horseback to calIon Hattie,
r was besieged by all the girls asking me to remain there for the night.
I promptly refused until I learned that on the previous night a large
black man had climbed through an open window on the porch into the room
of one of the girls. He was frightened away by her screams. A call to
the police only 1/2 block away brought a response thirty minutes later,
and': to make sure their arrival was expected by everyone, they came with
sir~ns blasting.
So I consented to remain for the night on the porch.
You never saw girls move so fast in preparing me a bed there. I tied my
horse to a tree in Central Park, and fortunately no one came along in the
night and turned him loose.
Courtship Via Horse and Buggy
One spring day in 1912, I walked to Lawrence, rented a horse and buggy
for ,$1. 50, picked up Hattie, drove eight miles southwest of Lawrence to the
farm: where my brother Bill and his wife Myrtle lived, and spent the evening
there. On the way back to town the weather changed and we liked to freeze.
I took Hattie back to her rooming house, returned the' horse to his stable,

�97
walked the five miles back to my place of employment. This warmed me as
the day which had started out warm and balmy had turned bitter cold to
the discomfort of both of us.
Later'.that spring I moved back to myoId home with my father as failing
health forced him to sell the home. We moved to the farm in Pleasant Valley
where my brother Bill was living. Later that summer I bought brother Bill
out and my father and I established a partnership.
During this time Hattie had returned to her parental home fourteen miles
from me, so I usually drove to the ROSE home on Saturday nights and remained
there until Sunday night. Once in awhile it was nearer Monday morning when
I got home. Often I would fall asleep in the saddle and let my horse take
me home. On one of these occasions, Hattie and I started out early on Sunday
m'orning for a family reunion to be held at the home of Hattie's uncle and
aunt, Jake and Nancy C~lliINGS,who lived eight miles southwest of Stull.
By the time I had made that sixteen~ile trip plus fourteen miles back to my
place, I had had a day!
Start of Our Married Life
After about six years of getting "acquainted", Hattie and I were married
on April 28, 1915. It was wild crabapple time, all in bloom. The wedding
took place at the ROSE home with Rev. O.C. BROWN, the pastor. Several close
relatives were there. We left for our new home--borrowing a pillow and
walking around the hill to our future home. I still live there.
,
Hattie's maternal grandparents, Joseph H. and Martha (RANDOLPH) HARRISON
had settled here in 1854 and had homesteaded this farm. The house nestles
co'sily just under the brow of a hill on the sunny southern slope. Much of
the lumber for it was hauled from Leavenworth by ox-cart, and so well was it
built by its owner-builder that it stands today in good condition. Three
generations were born in this house: Lucy HARRISON (ROSE), Hattie ROSE
(WIGGINS), and our daughter Elizabeth WIGGINS (SANDERS).
The day before our wedding, we bought our furniture from the C.J.
ERICKSEN Company--a cookstove, kitchen cabinet, bed springs, mattress,
dresser, buffet, oak rocking chair, round oak table, and 6 oak chairs at
$1..75 each. That is all I can remember--the total for all was $125.00
delivered. Mrs. ERICKSEN took off $5.00 because we paid cash.
With the $5.00, we bought things at Frank STRONG and Clark PRINGLE's
grocery store--pepper, salt, spices, sugar, flour, lard and other items.
The cash we paid. for the furniture was borrowed from Jack KELSEY, a
cattle buyer, also a friend. I still have the round oak table and oak
rocking chair.
A few days after we were married, we we~e shivareed by ten men. When
they arrived we were sound asleep but not for long! One man set his shotgun on the window sill near our bed--BOOM--we were not long getting up!
We thought we had to dress up, which took time in the near dark room. The
men.said, "If.you don't come out soon, we are coming in after you!" A few
days later some of the men came to our place. They took up a collection
and ,bought us six nice silver spoons. We were shivareed again by the
women and kids.
Next about our eats--we had milk, made our own butter and cottage
cheese, did not have much meat.·We often had tuna salad. Hattie would
put aster leaves in a bowl to make it look nice. We had the aster bed in
an old corn planter wheel. When bringing our mules by the aster bed from
the pasture, they ate some of the asters and made Hattie very unhappy.
Often I would hum, "Asters by the brookside make asters in the brook , "
which never failed to get a rise out of her.

�98
We took in less than $150.00 the first year. We had no telephone bills,
no lights, no gas. We sold some cream--got a check for 5l¢, butterfat l7¢
per pound. We raised some potatoes. Hattie baked bread--the first was a
dandy, later she became a champion. Hattie was a good cook, an expert at
making sour cream raisin pie, using lard to make the pie crust. We had a
few chickens, enough 'eggs to get by. Fried eggs good and brown are good
eating if you are hungry. I still would like to have some sour cream
raisin pie, also some raw fried potatoes crusty. We had one cow giving
milk, two heifers to be fresh later, several small heifers.
In 1916, we had more ground to farm. It was a wet year, we planted
the corn the third time. It was getting late by that time and Jack Frost
finished it. The second year we butchered a hog--had meat, lard and also
a telephone.
The first year we were married we did not have meat very often. We
would buy 25 cents worth of round steak and have brown gravy--a treat. We
raised a few chickens, tried to have one big enough to eat by the 4th of
July. Sometimes it would not be too big--maybe two pounds. We also had
h,omemade ice cream and angelfood cake. We were poor, but happy.
,One time my mother-in-law brought a fried young squirrel to a picnic
we had. It sure was good. Now we won't even eat one. Mr. ROSE always
h,ad a big garden--winter onions, surely good in early spring. Also parsnips,
and some years when cabbage was plentiful, they would make a barrel of kraut.
I~ was kept in the smokehouse.
They gave us some when digging it out (it
was frozen) and surely good raw. They also buried apples. The ROSE boys
and I would run our arms back in a hole and get an apple--sometimes the
apple would taste like the ground, but good.
Hattie loved flowers and had lots of them. She enjoyed the clubs
she belonged to and especially the Lawrence Flower Club for which she helped
judge flower shows several times. We planted many flowers and trees throughout the years. This year I counted 43 different flowers and 37 trees and
bushes that bloom annually on our place. In the spring, I have a "Flower
Day" and invite the ladies in the neighborhood to come and enjoy the flowers
a~d have refreshments with me.
I look forward to this each year.
