There have been several German settlements in Douglas County
Kansas since 1854. Most were situated in four or f.1 ve distinct'
areas of the county,:; Stull (Dear Creek Settlement) in the NW:
Eudora in the East: Worden in the South: Clearfield (Capt's creek):
and Lawrence.
The Pennsylvania German immigration into Douglas County began
by 1855 and the first D~kard Church was organized in 1858. The
EBERHAR'r and ULRICH fam'flies were two of many who settled in the
Willow Springs area. Some of those German families who settled in
the area of present-day Stull were: HILDENBRAND, GRESS, FRICKER,
HElL, HOUK, BAHNMAIER, etc.
In 1856, three members of a German Immigrant Settlement (or
Society) from Chicago, called Deutsche Ansiedlungs Verein (or New
Settlers Committee) were sent~out~':}as:::-B:rdo'ca:-t;1on commi ttee to chose
a townsite for a German settlement. The three men were: H. HEIMANN,
F. BARTELDES and C. SCHEIFER. Land for the settlement at presen,tday Eudora was deeded to the SOCiety by Chief Paschal FISH. Up
until the late 1800's the German language was used in churches and
and other gatherings of the Germans in that area.
In Lawrence, many of the German merchant's stores of the last
century were concentrated in the 700 and 800 block of Massachusetts
St., such as stores owned by: William WIEDEMANN, who owned a popular
ice cream and confectionary store: Charles ACHNING. hardware bUSiness:
Leo STEINBERG, dry goods: Fred WIEMAN, cigar maker: 'and Carl NEUMANN,
Central Drug Store (also called Deutsche Apotheker). A Turnhalle
(or German gymnastic Club) was established in 1857 on the SW corner
of 10th and N.Y. Sts. Later another Turnhalle was opened in 1867
at 9th and Rhode Island Sts. This stone building still stands today.
A German newspaper , DIE GERMANIA ,&lt;.:we;s:Cf:o.unded in 1877 by Gottlieb
OEHRLE ~nd in later years Henry ALBACH was the editor and proprietor.
Th1,s;:"'W~E9K~y,j'i:.paper was a popular one with local Germans up until the
outbreak of ' World War I when its publication ceased.
By 1890, there were 1,011 persons living in Douglas County who
had been born in Germany, according to the Federal Census. Today
hundreds of Douglas County citizens can trace their descent tr..om,one
or more of the early German settlers in the county.

Accordlng to the Lawrence Dally JOurnal World of February 16,
1918. eleven German " a llens" of Baldwln appeared for regt-stra.tlon
that week. "Some of them have been here slnce yo~.th .((~e.il~g~~,mmdst .
honored cl tlzens. among others-cl vll war veterans."
~,.,
It seems unlmaglnable to us now that these Germans, some of
whom had been ln the Unlted States slnce the 1850's and cons1dered
themselves to be as American as their nelghbors, should be subjected
to the lndlgn1ty of reglstration as an "alien enemy", but it happened here ln Douglas County as well as in thousands of other registration centers across the country.

"That the t~rm "Orphan" in old-documents and, court records often
referred to someone under 21 whose father had died even though
mother was stlll alive; often mother was appointed guardian of
child under 14. and ln most jurisdictions if child was over 14
he could name hls own guardian, and many times it was an older
brother rather than the mother that they selected."

I

Eudora, in which he was interested, Mr. Pilla:
was elected its president in 1893 a position;
which he has fitIed with the greatest efficiency. I
As a member of the firm of Pilla &amp; Statler he i
also carries on a brick manufacturing business. 'I
In 1894 he erected a beautiful residence on a hill I
overlooking the village and commanding a fine:
view. At the time of the erection of the sweet I
,corn factory, in 1883. he was one of the principal
contributors to the same and became a stockholder in the company. He is a stockholder and
director of the Eudora Creamery Company, and I
,~as a stockholder in the Leis chemical works, of
Lawrence, Kans. When the Kimball plow factory was started in Lawrence he assisted in the,
organizatioti of the company controll.ing the,
plant, but the enterprise did not prm'e successful.
All movements of a progressive character where
the benefit accrui"ng to the people is unquestionable have received' the impetus of his encouragement and practical aid.
Since attaining his majority Mr. Pilla has always been a stanch RepUblican. As mayor of
Eudora, and as a member of the city council, also
as a school director, he has been able f!&gt;'greati y
promote local projects, and has given an.impetus
to the welfare of his town and fellow·townsmen:
In ~ IS7'I he received appointment as postmaster,
and continued to fill the office until 1885. Prior I
to this, from 1865 to IS7I. he served as assistant I
postmaster, having practically the entire Charg~
of the office. Fraternally he is a member of
Doric Lodge No. 83, A. F. &amp; A. M; I.awrence

~ HARLES PILLA. Among our German,

American citizens who have been success-'
ful since settling in Kansas mention ~ be~
I longs to Mr. Pilla, the well· known business man
, of Eudora. ~{r. Pilla was born iil Rhenish Ba~
varia, Germany, February 19, 1830, and received
a good education in the German language. ~ At
~ nineteen years of age he came to the Uriited
!,States, arriving in New York March 26, 18 49.
For fourteen years he remained in the vicinity of ,that city, and during ten years of the time he was
i. employed as cl~rk and bookkeeper for the pub',lishing house ofE. Walker &amp; Sons. In 186 5
I' he c,ame to Kansas for the purpose of entering
i into partnership wit~ his brother F. L" who had
I started a small store 1U Eudora. The title of the
;, firm' became Pilla Brothers, which coiltinued,
!:u~til his, brother'S death in 187r.
'
I

I

-

Being thus left sole proprietor of the store Mr.
Pilla continued the business alone. In 1872 he
enlarged the building and increased the quantity
of stock carried. His store is now the lorgest of
its kind in Eudora. In connection with the
i mercantile department, for some years he carried
ia stock of.. drugs, but this, is now discontinued.
I Besides his mercantile interests he has engaged
' in farming in Douglas and Johnson Counties,'
/ where he owns large tracts of farm lands; and,
while these places are operated by tenants, he
Inevertheless maintains an active ,supervision -of
~ the land and directs i~s 111a:nage1l1~nt.

"The pers1stent efforts' of a portion of thecltizens of Douglas
county to selze upon a portlon of Jefferson, has few parallels. It
ls simply a 6ovetuous desire, without any show of right, and can be
defended on po grounds of reason, justice or good nelghborship.
The only plea set up 1s that Lawrence has made some outlays on roadsprincipally if not entirely in Leavenworth county-on thls side of
the river. and therefore she ought to have a part of Jefferson
countyl Who ever heard of Lawrence doing anything of the klnd not
lmmediately for her own benefit? If she built roads it was because
her citizens believed lt was for thelr lnterest to do so; and they
never lnvested a dime in a road, except for an lnterested purpose;
and they have ten'tlmes over recelved prlnclpal and lnterest for
every cent they have thus expended on this side' of the river.
But we have a counter-clalm to thls plea. It 1s thls. The
citizens of Lawrence have taken wood and lumber from Jefferson
county ln value a thousand-fold more than all the outlays on thls
s1de of the rlver ln roads and everythlng else; and thls wood and
lumber have been taken without renderlng ari equivalent to this
county. These are the facts. Let them be known I
Another claim set up ls, that a portion of thls county is convenient to Douglasl Indeedl If this plea is worth any thing, it is
worth all the State, and Kansas may as well be annexed to Douglas at
once as by piece-meal; for every t1me she extends her boundaries she
w1ll lay alongs1de of contiguous territory, whlch it wlll be convenient to get hold of. This is worse than a robber's plea. It is
the very essence of bad nelghborshlp. If we have a plece of land and

The first school known of in what eventually became District No. 24, was located near the
center of Sec. I, T. 12, R. 17, on the Ben Kellog place. Some distance northeast of Big Springs
and a little over a half-mile south of the last school site, it was known as "The Old Stone
SchooL" This seemed to be the only name it ever had.
The writer has visited the spot and found the foundation half-buried in leaves but still clearly
discernible, in a wooded and brushy area where deer now roam, but which a century ago was'
open rolling prairie.
Within the enclosure given by some as 24 by 30 feet, but which measures nearer 30 by 36 feet,
lies a large block of dressed stone, and just outside a mound of stones covers what may have heeD
an old well, now filled in as a safety m e a s u r e . · · ·
'
It was built of native limestone with a dirt floor and probably faced south. Later the door was
changed to the east, with a blackboard inside at the west end. The stove stood in the center of the
room with benches arranged around the edges on which at one time, sat 65 pupils ranging in age
from 5 to 25.
.
Two terms of three months each were held each year. Patrick Geelan, a school teacher, came to
Big Springs fromIrel~~ by waY,~f~ew Jersey in 1855, and taught in this school fQuome time-=.

O. Bayles for fifteen arid one-fifth weeks, with 56 pupils in attendance most of the time. The
salary of each teacher was $35.00 per month and total expenditure for the term was $239.29.
Board members were Wm. Glenn, Geo. M. Medsker and W. S. McClanna,han.

w1fe Christene. During his absence. Christene died while giving
b1rth to daughter, Jenn1e. Jennie was cared for by Chr1stene.' s
parents.
When Frederick returned. he married Elizabeth PIPPERT. They \
