The Douglas County Genealogical Society is a non-profit organization with regularly scheduled meetings the second Tuesday night of each month, 7:30 P.M., meeting place to be announced. Mini-workshops are held that same evening at 6:30 P.M. prior to the monthly meeting. Membership fees are $10.00 single, $11.00 family. The fiscal year is from July 1 to June 30 of the follOWing year. 199 200 �------- ------------ --' --l --------------------151 I THEPRESIDE~T'A;MRSBAGE As our year draws to a close, and as I complete my term as your president, we should take stock of our accomplishments as they relate to our goals as a genealogical society. First, as to numbers, we have nearly doubled our membership in the past two years. With 118 members two years ago, we increased this to 146 'members last year, and now we stand at 222 members on our rolls. More important than numbers however, are our achievements as a society, and the help we have provided to individuals and the public generally. What'we have accomplished is not the work of anyone person alone, nor is it the work of the board-excellent as it has been. Our accomplishments are the result of concerted efforts of the members, each contributing his or her special talent. A mouthpiece of our organization is, of course, our quarterly, "The Pioneer," which has been most capably edited by Judy Sweets, assisted by many contributors. This is an outstanding publication, one which we proudly distribute to individuals and societies allover the United States. Also widely distributed, and of no less importance, is the quarterly Newsletter, edited by Jane Wiggins. This serves as a "bulletin board" of events, both within and without our Society, which are of interest to the membership. , We have had excellent speakers and programs during the pas~ year, among them our own Dr. Thomas Gorton speaking on "Researching Pennsylvania Records;" Dr. Robert Hudson from the K.U. Medical Center speaking on "Nineteenth Century Medicine;" Haskell's Vice President Charles Geboe speaking on "Haskell Junior College" in this; the year of the Haskell Centennial; Chuck King from Second Impressions presenting a program on old photographs, entitled "Heritage;" Mary Burchell, from the ~.U. Law Library, giving US an overview of the facilities there and describing how these could aid genealogists; and Helen King from Topeka giving us an evening on "Using Maps in Genealogy." In addition, our programs included two panel discussitins in which the panel was composed of members of our Society: Donald Vaughn, Judy Sweets, Hugh Stouppe, Edna Welling, Mary Lou Winchell, and your president. Our Society was also the guest of the Topeka Genealogy Society when Attorney General Robert Stephan spoke on "Vital Statistics Closed to Most," a topic dear to our hearts and an issue which we have sought to resolve by having Senate Bill 319 become law. Thirteen members of our group visited the Legislature in Topeka in this regard. On the lighter side, Lawrence Chapman entertained us by playing the dulcimer, and explaining the instru~~nt and the songs, at our Christmas dinner. Other projects this year have included putting the five-generation charts into book form; continued work on the cemetery book; copying records of importance to genealogists, including 1875 Douglas County census records, m.arriage records, and naturalizations; maintaining a booth for two days at the 1984 "Independence Days," and again for two days at the "Maple Leaf Festival" in Baldwin. Special thanks to those who stood in the heat for the first and in the rain for the second. In the area of education, I have conducted three sessions, in addition to the regular meetings, on "Beginning Genealogy" ,at the Lawrence Public ' Library, and I have spoken on "Why Genealogy'.' to'th'e Eudora Historical Society and the Osage County Historical Society. Jane Wiggins has conducted a monthly mini-workshop for new members, and for those with special research problems, and these have been most appreciated. In addition, many of our members have attended fine area workshops, one of which was that of the Jefferson County Genealogical Society where we had a table and sold books and memberships. The Society was invited to attend the Haskell Centennial Convocation, and at least a dozen members attended. Special thanks go to Deanna Miles and Mike Yoder of the Lawrence Journal World for promotion of our Society and genealogy generally through an article which appeared on Sunday, September 23, 1984, and to the Lawrence Public Library and the Douglas County Historical Society for providing space for our meetings. ' Genealogy is clearly an activity which exemplifies the old adage, "The more you put inl:o it the more you get out of it." The opportunities for participation in our Society are endless, and I ext~nd my heartfelt thanks to all of you who attended meetings (monthly, board and comm,ittee); to those who spent hours on the telephone, or copying records, or planning and thinking; th~se who recruited new members; who walked miles through brambles, snow and ra1n for cemetery records; those who,drove their cars, wrote, typed, stapled, pasted, cut, searched, dug for old records, gave speeches, visited, indexed, studied, and proofread. The list goes on, but the rewards are boundless: FRIENDSHIP, TOGETHERNESS, LAUGHTER, HELPING, ACCOMPLISHMENT, PROGRESS, FUN, SUCCESS. Who can put a price on these? ' Sincerely, I '- �152 ------------ --, ;..~-~-- !~~t ,. EDITOR I~ MESSAGE -- ; In thls lssue we feature the territorlal period of Kansas (1854-1861). It was our plan to gather and compile as many. records of this period as possible. The Territorial days in Kansas were a time of excitement. confllct and turmoil in which pro-slavery and free-state factions battled each other. slaves traveled the "Vnderg:round !iai1road"ln search of a safe haven in one of the "free-state towns" such as Lawrence. and Indians began leaving for reservations in Oklahoma and elsewhere as their lands were claimed by white settlers from the East. Thls was also a time of great hardship for fami11es: homes were burned. husbands murdered. children died from cholera and other diseases and wives cooked and cared for the scores of newcomers who arrlved in the territory every daY.--And then in 1860 came the famine. This was the last straw for many emigrants who packed their belongings and lef,t,._~~.!... for those who:remained. there was help from agencies in the Zast who sent food and'other necessltles until the crisis was past. The records we publish in \,this lss.ue reflect the good tlmes and the bad. We hope: they w111 glve olU"rea(lers a ,'Detter inslght into Ufe in Territorlal Kansas. \ . ~. . ~ I vJollld ltke to thank e1. ry one' of YOll who hel~ed wi th TliS r'10NE£? thi s year.

Some of your wares would sell here well at good price. The merchants are getting in some Furniture and it sells like hot cakes. I have slept on the Ground for want of a bedstead untill within the last three Weeks. I made a rais (1) of a cot bed- . stead and thought I was in Town sure. I have been l1.veing all about since (I) camel'1ost of the Time have been teeming ~'Jit Was first rate business in the spring the Emi~ration WaS very great. Some of the Boats would land three hundred fore . this part of the Teritory. It Was 45 miles that they had to go by Land after leaving the boat. I had as good Teem as runs on the rout and I used to get as many Pasengers as I could Haul evry Time at 12.50 and allmost allways got a load back. The Eastern men not being used to New Country. would go as far as Lawrence. see the Elephant. stay over night and put back 1.n the morn1.ng. I d1.dn't like to see them go back b,ut was willing to take all the Dimes I could (honorably) out of them. I made it pay. I didn~t come out for nothing. I am a going to make fair i~est on my package money at least. I now have sold out the Team and gon over across the R1.ver amongst the Indians. Have rented the same Land that was Fenced and well cultivated. Everyting is up to the highest notch. Corn is worth $2". per bushel. Potatoes 'can't be had. I calculate to rais one thousand bushel corn _____ potatoes. I can't stop to write much now. I must go to work. It looked like rain but has cleared off now. ' t I I would like to write' all I know about the Teritory and will next Time- the news are scarce now-l suppose When our Missouri Legislature assemble, there will be some-l expect that they will have a great Time-I suppose you have heard what a Time we had at the Election-the Red Mouths carraid evrything and expect to do as they choos. I don't know but they may-that remains to be seen. I will send you the papers that you can know what is agoing on heare but you will have to make a liberal allowance for what you read-I sent you one Paper-must write whether you received or not-I am getting tired and must close.

Since Kansas became a state, the district courts have had exclusive jurisdiction over' divorces. But it was not always thus. In 1855, when the first legislature met, it passed a law fixing the causes for divorce and directed, in Chapter' 62. that any court of chancery shall have jurisdiction in divorce and alimony."

The Le;glslatI:ve . .Assembly of the T~rritory ,of Kansas in 1859 outlined the causes for divorce-;as: I When the defendant at '~he tim,e of his marriage was impotent. When he had a lawful- ,wife then 11 ving • When he has committed adultery subs~qqent to the marriage.

Governor. ' 1. 2• J., 4. ---------, �160 According to 1'1r. Howes. nThere were seventy-f1 ve d1 vorces granted by the terr1torial legls1atures of 1858.1859. 1860 and 1861. The practlce s:topped when Kansas became a state." He stated. "Forty divorces were authorized in 1860. ln a slng1e sess10n. almost onehalf the total for the four legislatures" ••• "A blll was lntroduced, referred to one branch or the other of the leglslature with recommendation that it be passed. The bill became a prlvate law and an actual divorce decree." A separate legislatuve b1ll was requlred for each divorce. They are not to be found 1n the statute books but as private laws. It seems the granting of d1vorces by the leglslature may have been somewhat of a racket or scandal. Sol Miller, ed1tor of the White Cloud Kansas Chlef, took notice of the legislation just after the close of the 1860 sessl0Ji:l_of. the Terri t-or1al legislature. M1ller wrote: ; --1 I ~ "We th1nk 1t would Ibe a jud1~10us move to app01nt a comm1ttee in each county 1n the terr1tory, whos,e duty it) shall be to use the._utmostd1l1gence to ascerta1n how many and what_uiarr1ed-persons 1n the territory were not d1vorced- in the late . leg1slature. Some folks may be interested in know1ng just how they stand on th . quest10n." e Mr. ·A.

Upon examining the· statutes, I learned that she had been divorced for more than ' --==--_ _---'--_ _ __ L s1x months." One other source of div9rce 1nformation 1s the newspapers of the terr1torial period-"- __~t!S>se dlvorce petitions that were filed in th~ '.District court--w-ex-e-_or-ten~'''pul;>::l!l·sheacAl.nvth~ local newspapers. 'The names of those persons who petitioned the legislature for a d1vorce were generally published as well ,and some "of. them' appeared on the front page of the earlyLaw~ence newspapers. Following are theterrrt"o·rt-al divorces and name changes which we have gathered from the various sources mentioned above. County of residence is unknown unless so indicated. It is hoped that in the future add1t10nal divorce records w1ll come to light. We would appreclate be1ng informed of any divorce actions which we overlooked for the terrltorl-a-l per19d in Kansas. . �161 1 Some Territorial Div~ces-second; Judicial District /Copi~d at K,ansa~_ City Bra,pch of the ~ational Archives by J.

However, during a reeent~tr1p to the Kansas State Historical Society in Topeka we read an unpublished inventory of Douglas Co. records which was done in the 1930' s by the Works Progress Administration. To __ oar surprise this inventory stated that declarations of intention for the year 1856-1857 were to be found in a volume called "Journal A- in the oounty courthouse. Returning to Lawrence, we searched for this volume and found it not in the District Court office where the , other Declarations and Petitions are kept but in the Probate court office. All i thirty four declarations of intentions were copied and are included in this issue. ! I National QUite unexpectedly, While looking through the territorial court records at the Archives-Kansas City Branch, we found many Declarations of Intention I for the years, 1855-1858 in the record~books of Judicial District One and Two for Kansas Territory. (These,were nDp~ed~ are included in this issue). ~ I .i i The "Old" First Judicial District, established in November of 1854 included Douglas, Doniphan, Atchison. Leavenworth. Jefferson and Calhoun (now Jackson) oounties. Douglas County became part of JudiCial District Tio as of February 26, 1855 when the Second Jud101al D1striots were def1ned as including election d1stricts. 1. 2. 3; 4. 5. 6 and 17.

"Br1.dg-e Destroyed". 1.t seems that your reporter has been mis1.nformed relat1.ve to the facts 1.n the case. It 1.s stated that "the br1.dge (north of Bloom1.ngton) 1.s a total wreck." 'i'hat 1.s a m1.stake. The br1.dge was 248 feet long. hav1.ng n1.ne abutments. Three of these are on the south side of the Wakarusa. supporting sixty feet of superstructure. and the remain1.ng six are on the north side of the stream supporting 108 feet of super structure. Each of these port1.ons are in excellent cond1.t1.on. and equal to any we1.ght 11.kely to pass over any road in Kansas. The part broken down 1.s the 80 feet span over the stream. and that 1.s not a "total loss". two thirds i.f not three-fourths of the mater1.al. such as flooring. joist or stringers. bolts. etc. having been carelully separated·and taken· care· of 1.n such a manner as to make them answer the same purpose again. The br1.dge was 1.mperfect. as is stated. be1.ng lower on our side than on the other. However. that Was not the cause of its giving away.

When no coffee beans were available with which to make their morning coffee, they used substi tutes such as okra, browned wheat·, sweet potatoes and even corn. Below we.give a recipe whIch was-actuaYlyused by~the'-parents of C.M. Eliis when they homesteaded in Chautauqua Co. in the 1870's. This reCipe was printed in an article by Cecil Howes in the Kansas City Times, 13 IVlay 1942. / "Parch or brown field corn in a heavy skillet, stirring it won't burn, then pour sorgham over it (about the . ;same amount as for popcorn balls) and heat over fireplace coals stirring all the time until sorgham has been ,absorbed.

However, the following year he settled on.: a rented farm in Palmyra Township, Douglas: :County, and this place he operated until, by I : carefully saving his earnings, he was able to buy: 'a home of his own. In 1884 he bought· the I place where he has since engaged in farming and ' ·' dealing in stock, making a specialty " of raising I Hereford cattle. The success that he has at-· itained proves him to be a man of energy and per- , : severance. Everything connected with agricul- I : ture is of interest to him and, at the organization : ' of the Grange, he became identified with it. He' is a .stockholder in a grain business at Overbrook, Kans. In the locallodgeoftheAncient Order of United (WOrkll!en Mr. Weimer has held th~ highest of- ~ flces. The Democratic partY' always receives his'. I support, for its principles represent his ideas as to ! national government. . During his connection with the school board he served as its clerk. For six years he was a constable in Marion Township. November 20, 1879, he married Clemmie, daughter of John and Barbara (Anderson) Bailey.; They have six children: Guy, Lutie, Ethel, Jay, , Earl and Mabel. !. raiser of Marion Town;Wp, Douglas County, . was born in Preble County, Ohio, in 1850. i He is a descendant of Joseph Weimer, a native of~ Germany, who emigrated to Pennsylvania, set-' tHng near Harrisburg. He was one of the organizers of the Dunkard Church in that locality. i I At the great age of one hundred and e1everiyears l : h~ diedJn Darke County, Ohio. His son Michael, ~ : who was born in Pennsylvania, took up land 1"til 'Randolph County, Ind., where Union City now I I stands. Afterward he made his home in Preble I County, Ohio, where he carried on a grist mill ,and engaged successfully in farming for many years. For some time he served as a deacon in the Dunkard Church, in which organization he·: was active. I Daniel, son of Michael Weimer, and father of' our subject, w~s born in Darke County, Ohio,; and resided there until 1866, when he moved to' I Jackson County, Mo. In 1871 he came to Kan-! sas, settling in Palmyra Township, Douglas Coun-: ty, where he spent the remainder of his life. skilled mechanic, he followed the trades of car-I penter and painter, which he had learned in Day'- : ton, Ohio, and in which he was considered an ex-I, pert. Like his forefathers, he worshiped with the \ Dunkards and took an active part in their labors. He died in:1879, a(fifty-six years of age. His wife, who bore the maiden name of Martha; , Alexander, was born in Ohio and died in Kansas; in 1895, at sixty-three years of age.

It seems that Walter SCOTT, the son of a wealthy farmer ln Falmyra townshlp. was very naturally averse to havlng hls parents - settle the qu~otlon of whom he should marry. He attempted to run away once before wl th Mlss Etta FINNEY, the glrl of hls cholti:e, but the old gentleman put a stop to It. He apparently gave up the ldea of acceptlng any glrl but the one hls father deslred. But Wednesday nlght the whole scheme was knocked hlgher thap a klte. In the nelghborhood where they 11ve, about flve ml1es south of Baldwln, was held at the school house a strawberry festlval. Walter took the glrl of his parent's choice there. But Mlss FINNEY was also there, and she bestowed on Walter that same sml1e that to hlm was worth more than all the sweetness of the tables laden with fruit. He longed to be wlth her above all others, and the deslre being mutual they soon drlfted together and had arranged for a 11ttle rlde where they mlght tell each other of the troubles that beset lovers where the old folks do not approve, and the fire of love that burned wlthln them and would not be quenched. They took the rlde. but were followed very soon by the other girl and her frlends. Walter's horses were the fleetest and he was soon out of reach of his pursuers. When he and Etta returned to the school house they found that the other company had gone home. and both knew that the very old Nick would be to pay. Resolvlng that they may as well suffer for a sheep as a lamb. the lovers concluded to take the team and drlve to Lawrence and get married. They arrl ved here about 4 0' clock and put up at the Place Ihouse where they sat ln the parlor and chatted untll breakfast tlme. After breakfast the parties started out to get a llcense, and after golng down to the court house they at last succeeded in flndlng Judge Foote and were getting ready to have the important knot tied when the marshal put in an appearance and sent the glrl to a hotel and took the boy with hlm. When Mr. SCOTT arrlved he at flrst consented but at last took lt back and left for hls home leaving the gartles here. The people ln the nelghborhood where they live were hunting for them most of the night. and thelr friends were glven a great scare. Sullivan. the lrrepresslble. took a great lnterest ln them, and it is reported that, actlng under hls advice, they left for Topeka ·last evennl.g-~here they will be marrled today." ; \ ..~~ ... --~ ;-~ - .~ .j / ... -_WILL .of "CARL: PEARSON- ~ile-#'192J ln the Douglas' County Distrlct Court Probate Records.

The town-site. seleoted in Ootober 1853 was on the olaim of one. Lewis B. WALLACE. a strong pro-slavery man. Direotly north from Blue Mound a semioirole of timber stretohing along the bankS of the two streams between whioh it lay. the fertility of the soil yielding from 25 to 100 bushels of oorn an aore. all tended to make this site desirable for the looation of a town. The old California road leading from westport. MO •• thirty-e1ght miles east. aoross the wakarusa at Bluejaoket's ford. formed the main street of the town. and extended west through Lawrenoe and Leoompton. Three WALLACE boys: Lewis. Clark and John. and Jeremiah CHURCH. popularly known as "Jerry". a Virginian. and celebrated somewhat as a violinist. were the prinoiple founders of the town. It was named for the grandson of CHURCH. Franklin HULL. infant son of Dr. HULL and Mrs. HULL. daughter of CHUB.CH. It was founded as a pro-slavery town, a rival of Lawrenoe. a free-state strone hold. No buildings were ereoted. or other improvements made until the year 1854. In June of that year, immediately after the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska bill. building began. and soon there were several' houses. among whioh was a blook-house. ereoted for the keeping of militar.y supplies for the border ruffians from the border oounties of Missouri. who were fast flooking to Kansas, tog3ther with foroes from other southern states. with the intent of making Kansas a slave state. Many from Illinois. PennsylVania and other northern states settled in and near Franklin. who wished Kansas to be a free state. I There were two battles in Franklin. The first was on June 2. 1856. the seoond on August 12. the same year. These battles were a part of what was known as the Wakarusa war. whioh began over the killing of a man south of Lawrenoe. in the latter part of 1855 •• .0.5. HOYT. In the spring of 1857, hostilities apparently at an end. Franklin took a fresh start and grew in population. buildings and business. The town was inoorporated. Dr. R.L. WILLIAMS. who oame to the town from Illinois. and who afterwards served as a delegate from Douglas oounty. to the Wyandotte oonvention. ereoted a storyand a half stone store building and plaoed a stook of merohandise therein. A steam saw-mill. eighteen horse-power. in operation and turning out 5,000 feet of lumber a day. also paS3ed into the hands of Mr. WILLIAMS.~~t. this. time there were about forty buildings in the town. and more in oontemplation of being ereoted A stage line from Westpor~~leadin~west. and one from Leavenworth to LeRoy. oounty seat of Coffey oounty. passed through Franklin ••• " A two-story frame hotel was operated by Samuel CRANE, a land offioe was established by one of the WALLACE boys. and one of them had a store ••• The population numbered about 400. " •••Thomas FEBRELL and Baxter DENNIS were among the preaohers who ministered to the spiritual needs of the oit1zens, and Pasohal FISH of the Shawnee~ tr1be of Ind1ans oooas10nally preaohed a sermon there ••• " J .C. WALTON, ••• 1'I1ss Hattie GRJ:SWOLD~, .....and John C. BRIGGS ••• were among the teaohers of those early days. Among the 01tizens of Frank11n were the HEBRINGTON boys, ••• Dr. James STILL •• .Dr. R.L. WILLIAMS. In the v101nity of Franklin were the KENNEDY's the EGGERT's, McFARLAND and GARVIN fami11es,and a host of other good and true oitizens who served their day and generat10n; For several years the town oont1nued to live, but gradually the people moved to other plaoes. the bu1ldings were torn down, or moved to other plaoes. or abandoned. Some of the houses were moved to Lawrenoe, among wh10h was the hotel, onoe known as the Plaoe house of New Hamps~1re Street. The sawm1l1 was moved to Jefferson oounty. on Mud oreedk and was operated there for many years by Dr. WILLIAMS. "The, post. off10e Was disoont1nued 1n Novermber, 1867. The townsite passed 1nto the hands of Dr. WILLIAMS and was operated by b1m for many years as a farm. About f1fteen years ago the stone house was torn down. The basement and foundation of the old struoture, over wh10h there stands a commodious and oomfortable frame dwelling, 1s the only vest1ge remain1ng of the onoe prosperous and lively town." ~----------------'-=~.=~-- - I For more 1nformat10n about the MANKIND YIELDS, by MoGon1gal. now van1shed town of FRANKLIN. see the book.

In relation to petltioner having sustained loss by the difficulties. I know that he had the property. and that it was taken or gone by some means or other. I was frequently at petitioner's house while he was a neighbor. In June or July. 1856. CHAPMAN was obliged to leave the Territory with his family for personal safety. He was threatened by the Free-State men. and deemed it safer to absent himself. CHAPMAN was understood to belong to the opposite party. During that season the same species of terrorism and driaing out of settlers was exeroised by both parties alternately as they happened to have the physical poser or control over the vicinity. CHAPMAN left in a hurry. leaving his property in care of August KROUSE. nOw living at Centropolis.
