The deceased was born in Baltimore but his parents soon after removed to Fall River, Mass. in 1~48(?).

In 1853 he went to California where he spent three years. He returned during the time, however, and married; his wife going back with him. On their journey out, a railroad accidentoccured on the Isthmus in which fourteen cars were broken to pieces' and many lives lost but they were spared without serious injury. On their return he was seized with the smallpox on board the steamer, and after landing, was left for two weeks at Panama.', In 1857 he came to Kansas where he and his family have dwelt ever since. He·was just building a very substantial and commodious dwelling,and had moved into the finished portion of it three days before he died. One sows and.another reaps.

Caldwell In September, 1854, Rev. S.Y. LUM, of New York, was sent out as a missionary to Kansas,- by the Home Missionary Society. Arriving in Lawrence, he immediately commenced his work, preaching his first sermon October 1, 1854. The services were held in the "Pioneer Boarding House"-the only available building at that time . . After holding several meetings, an organization was perfected by him, including the following members: S~Y. LUM, Charles DICKSON, O.A. HANSCOM, O. HARLOW, L. LITCHFIELD and wife, S.C. POMEROY, Carrie R. LUM, Anna TAPPAN. The organization was named the "Plymouth Church," from the fact that the circumstances and aims of its founders, who were principally from New England, so nearly resembled those of the Plymouth Pilgrims. Services were held in the "Pioneer Boarding House" for a short time, when the rough board building, called "the church," was completed. During. the winter, the building was destroyed by fire. In March, 1855, the church commenced holding meetings in the St. Nicholas Hotel. Services were held here until a room was provided in the upper story of a frame building on Massachusets.street. In the autumn of 1855, they were compelled to relinquish the room for the use of the citizen soldiery. In the sUmIner of 1856, they moved into the "Emigrant Aid Building," which they occupied through the fall and winter, and later, a few weeks,the Unitarian Church. In the spring of 1856, the erection of a church edifice.was commenced, and the building partially completed in the spring of the year following, and services held in it. The building was finally completed in 1862. The structure is 40x65 feet, and built of limestone. Rev. S.Y. LUM officiated as pastor till the spring .of 1857, when he was succeeded in December of the same year, by Rev. D. CORDLEY. For eighteen years, Mr. CORDLEY had charge of the church, and was succeeded in May, 1876, by Rev. L.W. SPRING. Mr. SPRING remained till October, 1881, and was succeeded by the present incumbent, Rev. G. Hale SCOTT. In 1868, the church having progressed so rapidly, it was found necessary to erect a new edifice. This structure, one of the largest and finest buildings of its kind in the State, is constructed of brick, and is 60xl14 feet. The total cost, including a $4,000 pipe organ, was $40,000.

ComplIed by Judy Sweets- '~'-. �27 , ~nlon J_ __ _ _ •• __ __ L ~ ~i The Republican: Lawrence, Kansas, June 14, 1860 HORRIBLE MURDER! Midnight Attack on the House of Jos. Gardner (' -v\ ( ) On last Friday night, about midnight, the house of Mr. Joseph GARDNER-one of the most respected citizens of this county, living on Washington Creek--was attacked by a gang of armed assassins, who attempted to enter the house and murder its inmates. Mr. GARDNER and his family bravely defended themselves, and a colored man working for Mr. GARDNER, named Napoleon SIMPSON, going to the door during the attack, was fatally wounded, so that he died in less than an hour. Volley after volley was fired in at the windows, and it was only by a miracle that more of the inmates were not murdered. Mr. GARDNER is a quiet man, very highly esteemed by the community at large, and knows of no cause of enmity against him, except that he is a radical anti-slavery man, and never betrays the fleeing fugitive. It is supposed that the attack must have been made by a gang of wretches who are prowling about the Territory, stealing horses, kidnapping colored people, and committing like crimes. Those who think that the battle with the slave power is fought and won, on the soil of Kansas, will see that it is only just begun! We publish below the testimony taken before the coroner, in accordance with which a verdict was found that deceased came to his death at the hands of persons unknown: Joseph GARDNER, being duly sworn, testified as follows: A few minutes before one o'clock a.m. on the morning of June 9, 1860, three or more men, to me unknown, came to my house and attempted to force an entrance. To the question, "Who is there?" the reply was, "Open the door, sir." "What do you want?" was answered with the expression, "G-d D--m you, open the door!" The door was then opened, and I immediately discharged my revolver at a person standing nearby, supposed to be the one who had been talking to me. My shot was promptly answered, and as promptly repeated on my part. Again my shot was responded .to. But my third shot receiving no answer, I shut the door and went to a window, through which I discharged a shot at a man who was passing. This shot was very promptly answered by another man, at the side of the window. At the same moment, a heavy discharge of bird and buckshot came in at the other window, on the opposite side of the house. I then took my Sharp's rifle, with which I shot several times at two different men I saw retreating on horseback. On passing a window, a discharge of buckshot, twelve in number, was aimed at me, and lodged in the wall of my house, but a short distance from the bed in which my wife and two youngest children were. While I was thus engaged' in the defense of my self and home, my son, Theodore and a man in my employment by the name of Napoleon SIMPSON, were also engaged in the defense--each discharging several shots. Two shots were fired at my son, and one at Napoleon SIMPSON, which took effect in his left breast, when he fell to the floor, and died in about forty-five minutes. �28 Jos. GARDNER Con't: Question-- Did you see anyone that you could recognize in the future? Answer-- No. Q. Was anything found about the premises that,would tend to implicate any person? A. Nothing positive; but there were a few things that make up strong circumstantial evidence. Q. Have you those things in your possession? A. Yes. Mrs. Sarah GARDNER, being duly sworn, testified as follows: A few minutes before one o'clock, on the morning of the 9th inst., I was awakened by the dogs making a noise. My husband got out of bed and ~vent to the door, and asked, "Who is there?" Their reply.was, "Open the door, sir." My husband then asked, "What do you want?" The reply was, "G-d d-m you, "open the door!" in a very stern voice. The door was then opened and my husband then fired. Five different. shots were exchanged at the door. My husband then closed the door and went to a window, through which he discharged another shot from his revolver. A shot was fired in at the south window, which set fire to some cotton fabric under the same, which I immediately extinguished. My husband and Napoleon SIMPSON both went upstairs. About this time, I saw a man pass the north window, when I called to them to come down. Just after they came down, a heavy discharge of buckshot came in at the north window, from the direction. I saw the man. The shot lodged in the lining of the room, near the foot of my bed. My husband and Napoleon SIMPSON both fired from the north window. Napoleon SIMPSON then opened the door. and discharged a shot from the same, in a few seconds after which a shot was made, and he, the said Napoleon SIMPSON, fell to the floor, exclaiming, "Now, who did that?" He lived only about three-quarters of an hour after he fell. Q. Q. A. Q. Q. Did you see any person at the time he was shot? No. Was there any more shooting from those outside, after he fell? No. Do you know who first opened the door? A. No. How many persons did you see outside the house during the affray? A. One. A. . Mr. Theodore GARDNER, being duly sworn, testified as follows: Q. Where were you on the first alarm? A. Upstairs, in bed. Q. What did you first hear? A. The first word .1 heard spoken was, "What do you want?" I think it was by my father. The next I heard was a man, unknown to me, reply, "Open the door, G-d d-m you!" I next heard shooting. I saw one man, soon after the shooting at the door, leading a horse a short distance from the house, going northwest. He did not shoot while I saw him. I do .not know whether he had gun. This affray took place between twelve and one o'clock on Saturday morning, June 9th. "I do not think the affray lasted more than ten minutes. I heard a heavy shot, and immediately afterwards I heard Napoleon SIMPSON exclaim, "0 Lord!" who did that?" After he fell, I heard him.say, "Fight!· Fight hard!" I saw him lying on the floor upon his face. I heard no more shooting after he fell, by anyone outside. I do not know how long he lived, for I left soon after for assistance. Q. Did you see more than one man during this affray? A. Not positively. Q. Would you recognize the man you saw? A. No. �29 Jos. GARDNER con't: Miss Mary W. GARDNER, being duly sworn, testified: Q. Where were you at the time this affray took place? A. Upstairs, in bed. Q. What did you first hear? A. The barking of dogs. Q. At what time was this attack made? A.About one o'clock a.m. on the morning June 9th, 1860. Q. Did you hear any conversation at the door? A. I heard my father ask, "Who is there?" The reply was, "Open the door, sir." My father then asked, "What do you want?" The answer was, with an oath, "Open the door!" Q. What next occurred? A. I heard the door opened, and several shots followed, in quick succession. Q. Did you see any person during this time? A.. No. Q. About how long did the affray last? A. About ten minutes. Q. Did you remain upstairs all the time. A. Yes. Q. Did you hear or do you know anything in relation to the matter of the death of Napoleon SIMPSON? A. I heard the door opened, and some shooting soon after. I heard sometliing fall heavily upon. the floor, and at the same time I heard his voice exclaim. "0 Lord!" now who did that?" I afterwards heard groans, which I was confident proceeded from him. Q. Did you see him before he died, after the affray? A. No, when I first saw him he was dead, lying upon the floor. Q. Were there any shots fired through the room where you were? A. None that I know of. Dr. E.G. MACY, after being duly sworn, testified as follows: On the morning of the 9th of June, 1860, I and Dr. THOMPSON went to the house of Joseph GARDNER. As we went into the house we saw the dead body of Napoleon SIMPSON, lying upon the floor, on his left side and abdomen, face down, his shirt and sheet upon which he lay all covered with blood. After several of our neighbors had gathered, I and some of them washed and dressed him. By. moving the clothing that was under and upon him, we saw several pools of clotted or coagulated blood upon the floor. In turning him over, we saw a wound upon his body, consisting of two holes, each three-quarters of an inch in diameter, one inch apart, entering the body at the left superior portion of the thorax or chest--one hole or orifice below the clavicle or collar bone, the other orifice or hole immediately upon the bone, showing very evidently that the wounds were made by buckshot, discharged from a gun, forcing their way toward the lower and outer edge of the scapula or shoulder blade of the left side, some three or four of them passing out of the body on the left Side, just under the left arm; some two or three more balls of shots, were nearly;'through. I' cut. one of them out--it was of the largest size buckshot. His left shoulder was literally shot to atoms. Dr. THOMPSON picked up from the floor two or three small pieces of bone that had fallen out of the wounds. These wounds were the cause of his death. Q. Are you a physician? A. 1. am. Q. Did you see anything at Mr. GARDNER's house implicating any person? A.

When the fragments were arranged as the pieces indicated or fitted, it read as I have shown you. �Jos. GARDNER Con't: 30 LETTER FROM MR. GARDNER Mr. Editor: In compliance with 'your request, to submit for the readers of your paper a statement, in connection with the testimony elicited at the coroner's inquest, held at my house, upon the dead body of Napoleon SIMPSON, as to the probable cause of such an attack, I say that I know of no cause, only that I have established the.reputation of hostility to slavery. What have I ever done to warrant such conduct7 The first thing that ever brought my name into.public notice.was my connection in July last, with the rescue of Dr. DOY? from his unjust imprisonment in St. Joseph, Mo. The circum~ . stances connected with this case are too well known ,in this community to require restipulation in this connection. In addition to this, I have, in connection with many others of our citizens, taken sides in the great dispute that is convulsing this nation from one extreme to the other. On one side we see the weak, the poor, the ignorant, contending for their liberty against the strong, the rich and powerful. There comes to my. door one of the former, asking for food and shelter and protection. My nature tells me to give him aid 'and comfort. ' I f a man is passing my house with a thousand dollars in his pocket, and I, know that a.short distance beyond, a company of highwaymen are in ambush, intending to rob' him of his treasure, it is my duty to inform him of his danger, and render him assistance. All good men would hold me responsible if I did not. If, in place of the supposed treasure, the traveler has himself, as it were, in his pocket, and I know the hunters to be upon his track, it is my duty to put him upon his guard, and, in the same .por,portion as "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" is more than the thousand dollars ,just so much more is the duty binding upon me to render him the necessary assistance. This proposition is so plain to my mind, that I know not how to attempt a demonstration. In fact, it is an axiom. And it is for holding these sentiments, and daring to express them, that I am thus hunted down .by midnight assassins. I know this to be the case from the 'fact that men in this vicinity, who are on friendly terms with me on other matters, are giving encouragement to this movement. One man, whom I helped to place in official position in this county, under the impression that he·had a soul, now says that he has about as much respect for those men who made the attack upon my house as he has for me. Others have said that they wished it had been me, instead of SIMPSON, who got shot. And this is very evident, for he had been sold but a short' time ago for$I,500, to a slave trader who had bought him for a southern market. This is the reason why he left the home of his childhood. He had made his escape to a land of safety, but returned to rescue his wife and children from the prison house of slavery, thus establishing his bravery as well as his affection for his family. While he was lying upon my floor, weltering in his blood, I asked what I could do for him. The only reply he made was, "Fightf Fight hard!" Talk about the expressions of great generals on the field of battle. A braver man never bled or died, not fought in a better cause than that same Napoleon SIMPSON. It is said by some of my neighbors that I can no longer live in this county. They mistake their man, if they suppose they can frighten me by any such threats. Never, while' I have an existence on this earth, will I ask any man where I shall live, or what I shall say: or do. I have a family, who are dependent upon.my exertions, to a considerable extent, for the means of subsistence. While I am unmolested, their comfort is my only study. If the cause in which I feel so deep an interest has friends enough �31 Jos. GARDNER con't: in this vicinity to sustain ourselves, joining hands with me for mutual protection and self-defense, it is all well enough. When you hear of this point being taken or surrendered " count· me and many valued friends among those who have gone from works to rewards. If this attack had endangered no one but myself, I should feel vastly different. . But when it comes to discharging shot promiscuously into a house occupied by innocent women and harmless children, it is too much for our nature to withstand. I may not live to see an end of American slavery, but while I do live, no man shall exceed me in hostility to that institution, only as he has the ability. to hate with a more deadly hatred than is in my power to do. But I have said enough, and yet less would not seem to meet the case. I have the honor to be Yours for Freedom, JOSEPH GARDNER' 1-- - -, - - - -., - --- ~'-"----,".-.--~. -._- I The Joseph GARDNER cabin i was located. in the southern part of Clinton Township on land which is now owned'by M.

November 16, 1897 EUDORA The memories of,old Chas. 'BLUE 'JACKET who died a few days ago in the Indian Territory, is not forgotten by over two dozen of the old settlers now with us. BLUE JACKET lived four miles up Wakarusa creek and left there over thirty years ago. He was a half breed Indian and established what was then known as "Blue Jacket's crossing." In early history this was the only crossing on this creek for twenty miles away, and there he lived during early Kansas troubles and kept a kind of hotel for free state men as well as Mrs. STEVENS. After Kansas was admitted to the sisterhood of states the tribe to which he belonged were moved to the southeast with Shawnee town as headquarters. Twenty-six years ago the tribe went to the Indian territory with BLUE JACKET as one of their chiefs. Some two weeks ago he came back to Wyandotte county to locate the grave of one of the prophets, and while there he was taken sick, and lived only a few days after reaching home. The tribe wished to locate their Jacket's grave to erect a monument there. BLUE JACKET was 80 years old and had twenty-six sons and daughters, ten of whom are now living over in Wyandotte county and the rest scattered over the territory. He was here when the village of Eudora was laid out and for' years was a conspicuous figure on the streets. He came to the state sixty-five years ago when a yoth of 15 years of age. He was widely known in later years as a preacher of some talent as a pulpit orator among his Indian friends. November 16, 1900 KAW VALLEY Young Thos.

The Independent, Oskalo~sa, Ks., Feb. 18, 1865 THE'FRAUD CONSUMATED Money and persevering efforts in a wicked cause ,have succeeded with the citizens of Lawrence in robbing us of a portion of our territory. No scheme of the kind was ever more unjust; no similar attempt more flagrantly outrageous; and the rights of part'ies interested never more ruthlessly trampled upon by unprin~ipled tyranny. Without justice ,or the shadow of right; without any but the robber's plea; against the, expressed wishes of nine-tenths of the people on the cut-off,this vile measure has been pushed through the legiklature by means of corruption and bribery. No unprejudiced member voted for the bill on the merits of the measure. Misrepresentation, bribery and promises of place' or help on the part of Lawrence, did the work, which was conceived in villainy and consummated in fraud and corruption. I HON. M.R. DUTTON Made a strong fight on the County Line bill, and deserves and has the thanks of his constituents for the same, we believe, unanimously. But the money and promises qf'Lawrence were too much. What could not be carried by fair means w~s rushed through by pressure. Lawrence men were at the capital for three or four weeks, using every means to rush their criminal measure througli.;,knowing that they could not,make a showing on the merits of the case, 'they commenced by 'raising a corruption fund, variously set down at ftom eight thousand ,to forty thousand dollars; and upon this and lobby work they relied exclusively.' They well knew that the people on the territory did not wish to leave this county and go to theirs. They knew they had not an argument to use founded in justice and right; ,but they hadmoney.;..-and even the bones of their dead were conjured up to help them!--an.d against this our representative, upon whom 'the whole brunt of the,battle fell, could not successfully contend.

To her bereaved husband, and to her sad and sorrowing fa~ily we truly and deeply sympathize.

' There were twelve charter members. Among them were Abraham ROTHROCK and wife; Steven STUDEBAKER and wife; Daniel STUDEBAKER and wife; Daniel KEENY(?) and wife; Jacob }U\RKL~Y and wife; Isaac B. HOOVER; and David KINZIE. At this meeting the first election was held among the Brethren in the State of Kansas, with Danie] STUDEBAKER being elected to the ministry, Isaac B. HOOVER, to the office ,of Deacon, and Abraham ROTHROCK chosen as Elder in charge. The first recorded Worship service held by this group was May '22, 1859 at the Jacob ULRICH home. (This was a Love Feast service.)* During the drouth year,s of, the 1860' s this group was very active in administering aid to fellow Brethren and friends who were in need. On Dec. 22, 1863, Jacoh ULRICH, the prime mover of the congregation died! On May 28, 1864, John C. METSKER was elected to the office of Deacon. Also in 1864, James E. HI~Y was elected to the ministry. The first building used'forworship was bought March 19, 1864, and was used until Nov. 23, 1869, when it was sold. The first building the congregation erected was in 1877, at the present site of Pleasant Grove, Kansas. This building is no longer ~tanding. I April 2, 1881, this:congregation separated with the eastern section of area staying at the Pl~asant Grove site, and chose the' name Pleasant Grove, for their name, with James E. HILKEY, being elected Elder in charge. The western section of the;area retained the name of Washington Creek, and Peter BRUBAKER was elected Elder in charge. The Weybright School was used for Worship service until 1885, when the present building was erected. John C. METSKER was a ~trong moving force in building this church. On On Sept. 13; 1885, thebuilding'wasdedicated, with love feast being held at this time.

The Love Feast or full communion, which includes the ceremony of footwashing, was observed as a reenactment of the Lord's last supper with His disciples in the upper room before His betrayal. and crucifixion. The scriptural basis for the Love Feast is found in John, Chapter 13.; Here.we read, speaking ... of Jesus, 'He riseth.fromst,lpper, and laid aside'his garments, arid. took a towel, and girded himself. After that he poureth water into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the 'towel with which he was girded. After ,he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was seated again, ;he said, unto them, Know ye what I have done to you? Ye call me Haster and Lord; and ye say well; for so I am. If I, then, your Lord and H~ster,have washed your feet, ye also. ought to wash one another's feet. For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you. If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.' The Brethren combined all three elements found in John 13; that is, supper, footw:ashing, and the breaking of bread and drinking of the cup, and called it: their Love Feast or full communion."

Kelley C~~L CREEK iI :-'~ ~ L'BRAR~-- . __ VIt:JJ.,A.I'!IJ.KnN, -, _ North of Baldwin City in Palmyra Township, Douglas County, Kansas, a number of home sites were located along the Coal Creek. This area was known as Coal Creek until the construction of the Leavenworth, Lawrence and Galveston Railroad facilitated the establishment of a post office on September 25, 1868. This post office was housed in the farm home of the postmaster, George CUTTER. It was called Vin1and although the application had specified the spelling to be Vineland, since this area was well-known for the large Concord vineyards near~by, especially in the William E. Barnes Nursery. There were sixteen postmasters--two of them--George CUTTER and Thomas BAKER serving two terms. This is a copy of the list of Vin1and Postmasters as recorded by the National Archives and Record Service, Washington 25, D.C. George CUTTER William H. RUSSELL H.N. WILLIAMS George CUTTER John W. SIMMONS Joseph ILIFF David A. HAGERMAN Thomas C. BAKER James G. ILIFF Thomas C. BAKER David G. KENNEDY, Jr. Charles L. BROWN Elmer E. HAGERMAN Mrs. Martha L.MILBERN Miss Bernice HAGERMAN William E.

They were: W. E. (Gene) HOSKINSON Udah S. KING Jessie E. KING (now Mrs. Webb FENTON) Scott HANSEN The post office was established September 25, 1868 and was discontinued April 30,.1954. I t began in the home of George CUTTER which was called Island Prairie because it stood on top of a small rise above the surrounding grass1and.Herein the CUTTER home the Coal Creek Library books were first housed. George was both postmaster and librarian. The post office ended iIi the Coal Creek Library, a small red imitation-brick building just west of the Vin1and Presbyterian Church where at one time Dr. James Naismith, inventor of the game of basketball, preached to ,the people of Vin1and. �44 Vin1and Post Office continued-Usually the post office was located in a public building such as a store, but occasionally it was in a private home. This was the case with postmasters H. W. WILLIAMS as well as George CUTTER. The CUTTER home was located on a knoll just southeast of the present site of the Vin1and United Methodist Church while the WILLIAMS' residence was just west ·of the old Santa Fe Depot where the Vin1and Airport is now located. Here too, were the books of the.Coa1 Creek Library housed for Mrs. WILLIAMS was librarian and Mr. WILLIAMS was postmaster. RUSSELL, BAKER, KENNEDY, BROWN, HOSKINSON, REUSCH and'both David and Elmer HAGERMAN were store proprietors. Three generations of HAGERMANS were postmasters--David,. his son, Elmer and Elmer's granddaughter, Bernice. SIMMONS was a physician as well as a farmer and lived on the hill just south of Vin1and now known as Simmon's Hill. He may have had an office in Vin1and or perhaps distributed mail out of one of the stores. His home was on the top of the hill near KIBBEE Cabin, later known as the BARRICKLOW Cabin where the "seeds for Baker University were first germinated." One of the most colorful characters was Joseph ILIFF--carpenter" tinsmith, cobbler, store proprietor and local preacher. His son, James, was also postmaster beginning in June of 1893. Rural Carrier Service forVin1and began some time in January 1906, when W.E. (Gene) HOSKINSON was appointed the first carrier. Because of family health problems, Gene relinquished the position after a few months. Sometime in the spring or summer of 1906, Udah S. KING took over the route and held the appointment until he died of typhoid fever in September 1918. His daughter, Jessie, then carried the mail for three years. Her successor was Scott HANSEN who served for many years. At first the mail was carried in a horse-drawn vehicle with its sides painted red, white and blue. In the spring of 1918, Mr. KING bought a mode1-T Ford and his daughter, Jessie, who was a senior in high school at that time went along with him to crank the car and help with the mail. ) Jessie KING FENTON relates an interesting incident connected with that first civil service exam for the carriers. It was agreed among those taking the test that the one chosen for carrier would give.an oyster supper for the others. It so happened that Gene HOSKINSON was selected for the job and thus became host for the supper. As Udah's wife was unable to attend, Udah asked his daughter, Jessie, to be his partner. So Jessie attended the supper with her father and later became a carrier herself. Three women served as postmistresses. They were Mrs. Martha L. MILBERN, 1937-1941; Miss Bernice HAGERMAN, 1941-1942; and Mrs. Alma F. HEINRICH, 1947 to .Apri1 30, 1954, when the post office atVin1and was formally closed. Many of the Vin1and residents were then served by the Baldwin City Post Office. During that period of time, the post office was located in the Coal Creek Library building which was built in 1900 especially to house the accumulation of library books. Mrs. HEINRICH was both librarian and post..,. mistress. Thus theVin1and Post Office began and ended in the same location as the Coal Creek Library. Katharine B.

The house was artistically decorated with autumn leaves, jack-o-1anterns, witches and black cats. There was a ghost parade which started in the cellar and ended in the garret, where there was a horrible death chamber. Miss Helen STRICKLES of Topeka handed out fortunes in a nutshell. When supper was served the guests were seated on the floor in a circle, with a Jack-o-1antern in the center and each took their turn telling ghost stories. �47 Halloween Party Con't. Interview with James B. WIGGINS, 1984 and 1985: "After Hattie and I were married; and were living here at this house, we had a Halloween party. Janet FINK, a teacher boarding down at Mrs. HARRISON's-~Hattie's aunt down below here--and Hattie put on a Halloween party. They had the people come into the house through an outdoor cellar entrance. In the basement, we had a'cornshock, and a black cat yowling back in there, and we told ghost stories. Some of the girls screamed and yelled. They had to come on.through another dark cellar 'and come up some steps. When they came up those steps, they were greeted with someone shaking~' hands with them--a kid glove filled with sawdus t--s limy! Oh, they screamed and yelled! They took them through this dark room upstairs. In this upstairs, they had a bed with a sheet over something. There was an old hermit--an old outlaw who lived down below, and someone was telling a ghost story about him--that he had died and they boiled the meat off his bones. Under this sheeted bed was what . .was supposed to be this old hermit. We told some terrible ghost stories!" "There weren't 30 people at the party.
