THE ANCESTORS, FAMILY AND DESCENDANTS OF
JOHANN HENRICH LUDWIG THOREN AND CATHARINA SOPHIA BECKtillIR
FROM 1630 TO 1984
BY ELIZABETH HAYNES

-.

This is a loose bound volume of 135 pages compiled by Mrs. Elizabeth
HAYNES of Santa Rosa, CA. As any useful genealogy should be, the volume
is 'indexed.
Mrs. HAYNES documents the ancestors of Mr. THOREN and his wife Catharina:
BECKMEIR back to the 1600's. Pictures and a description of the Brakelsick,
Germany area are included which was the birthplace of the couple. An interesting bit of information Mrs. HAYNES mentions is children took the name of
the mother on occasion as in the event a woman became a widow and remarried.
The new husband took the name of the farm.
The THORENS came to America and settled in Stephanson County, Illinois.
Most of the seven children stayed in Illinois or nearby states.
Of special interest to those with family in Douglas County, Kansas, .:.is
the section on Henrich Christian THOREN and Katharinia Elizabeth ROHRBACH.
The couple came to Eudora, Kansas in its very early years. They raised a
large family and most of their descendants are listed. A few of the families I
in Douglas County are THOREN, NELS, GERSTENBERGER, ALTENBERND, FLEMING,
GABRIEL and DURR.
In the more recent families many dates of births, deaths and marriages
are given.

My mother, Maude Woodard, was born in Lawrence in 1898. She kept a
1 ittle scrapbook of cl ippings from the newspaper. Her address at that
time was 1340 Vermont St., Lawrence. I tried to photocopy the
cl ippings, but they were so yellow nothing showed up.
From 1911:
Cinderella Play
Cinderella was very attractively given Saturday, May 20, by
some of the juveniles at 1230 Tennessee Street, the home of Mr. J.
R. Stockwell. The play was staged on the sleeping balcony, which
was beautifully decorated in roses. The characters in the play
were as follows:
Cindere11a-~Bessie Allen; The Prince--Mati1e Fincher; Fairy
Godmother--Leone Hilkey; Step-mother--Una Stockwell; Haughty
Sisters--He1en Curtis, Annette Garrett; Lords at the Ball--Maude
Woodard, Virginia Melvin, Winifred Ward. The parts were all
played exceedingly well. The Prince and Cinderella, however,
being the stars. Cinderella was truly beautiful in the ball
scene, being dressed in pink tulle, spangled with gold and silver.
In the wedding scene Cinderella wore a long white lace veil. The
Prince was truly royal, wearing full uniform. An informal
reception was given after the play.
From 1912:
Picnic
Woodland park is becoming more popular. It is an ideal place
to hold a picnic, if one does not want to eat their suppers in the
good old fashioned way by putting the table cloth on the grass,
there are tables of all sizes to be used and plenty of benches on
which to sit on.
Last evening the Cordfey guild of the Plymouth Congregational
church held a del ightfu1 picnic at Woodland park. Miss Jean
Russell was the chaperon and those present were Miss Isabel
Gilmore, Miss Dorothy Angevine, Miss Winifred Ward Miss Winifred
P~ankM' Miss Maud Ell iott, Miss Mary Hodgeson, Miss'Darlene Wooley,
ISS
aude Woodard, Miss Dorothy Bell, Miss Grace Bell Miss Jean

An article dated June 1912 tells about the eighth grade pupils graduating into
high school:

LARGEST CLASS
Roll of Eighth Grade Pupils Who Will Enter High School Largest in
History.
Merwin Promotes 96
The Four Honor Students in the Class Are All Girls--A "Last Day"
Program Given This Afternoon.
The largest freshman class which has ever entered the high
school will be promoted from the grammar grades today. Prof. C.
E. Merwin will send a class of ninety-six from Central school to
the high school building with the close of the second semester's
work this afternoon. This is the largest eighth grade in the
history of the Lawrence schools.
The race suicide in the University town to which the school
enumerator has attributed the persistent decrease in the census
enumerations for three or four years, has apparently not affected
the numerical strength of the higher classes. It is reducing the
number of pupils in the primary grades but the grammar and high
school registration continues to grow.
In Central building "last day" exercises were held this
afternoon. The annual visit was paid the building by members from
the G.A.R. post, who made t~e Memorial day addresses and retold
the story of the great national struggle of the sixties. In
addition to these lectures the pupils themselves gave the
following program:
Chorus, Welcome.
Chorus, Over Hill, Over Dale.
Recitation, "Sockery's Cat."--Ruth Ellis.
Recitation--Milford Pratt.
Composition, "Life in Russia."--Blanche Patterson.
Chorus, Trip Along Bright Feet of May.
ReCitation, "A Runaway Boy."--Geneva Hunter.
ReCitation, "The Roll Call ."--Georgia Richardson.
Recitation, "A Leak in the Dike."--Helen Brown.
CompOSition, "Corot."--Nellie Reese Evans.
Chorus, "I Know a Bank."
Recitation, "When the Green Gets Back in the Trees."--Kenneth
Clark.
Recitation, "When Cyrus Laid the Cable."--Albert Lynch.
Recitation, "My Oration."--John Senseman.
Compos it i on; "Hawa i i • "--Edna Anderson.

Among the ninety-six graduates of the grammar grades this
year are four honor students. Prof. Merwin/s records show that
Maude Ell iott, Nell ie Evans, Blanche Patterson, and Una StocKwell
made "ones" in all the heavy studies on their course every· month
since promotion to the eighth grade. The scholastic honors are
held entirely by the girls in this year/s 1 ist of graduates, not a
single boy coming within the prescribed average which designates
an honor student.
Of the ninety-six who finished the common schools this
afternoon practically the entire number will enroll in the high
school next year.
Not only is the eighth grade class larger than any of its
predecessors, but it will send a higher percentage of its
membership into the higher institution. The class roll is as
follows:

My mother is very proud of the fact that she was a friend of Helen Naismith,
the daughter of the man who created basKetball. Here is a cl ipping dated
August 4, 1913:
Swimming Party
Miss Helen Naismith entertained with a swimming party this
morning in the University gymnasium. The girls spent a jolly half
hour in the pool and were served hot chocolate and sandwiches.
After their swim they went up in the gymnasium and played games
and danced. At noon alight luncheon was served. The guests were
Misses Lucile Cole, Ruth Adair, Marie Gray, Georgia Richardson,
Mandota Wise, Dorothy and Gertrude Koehring, Helen Winey, Mildred
Gilmore, Marguerite Reinishe, Ruth Ellis, Leta Ellison, Josephine
Morris, Lora Keeler, Frances Kennedy, Irene PicKard, Winifred
Ward, Matile Finch, Una StocKwell, Harriet Brush, Annette Fugate,
Lucile and Marion Edgar, Charlotte Morrison, Mary and Lucy
HacKman, Maude Woodard, Muriel Strong, Grace Green, Dorothy Bell, '
Louise Talbert, Irene Battaaile, Daisy Cox.

-The-following inforrna:tion--appeared-in several issues--o-f -The'
Connecticut Nutmegger in 1986:
BEWARE: We have been flooded with offers that our members have
received for their so-called "family history" already done for them.
In the past several years we have been warning our members about
BEATRICE BAYLEY and SHARON TAYLOR. Recently BEATRICE BAYLEY
has been closed down but has reopened under several names:
ELIZABETH ROSS of American ~enealogies, Inc. of Scranton, PA;
ANNE LOUISE BAKER of Computer Genealogies of Lansdale, PA;
MARY WHITNEY of Genealogy Room of Ottsville, PA., VICKI LEE
KARR; and ROOTS RESEARCH, LTD. out of New York.
Another scam is someone coming to your door to ask for pictures of
your parents and ancestors so they may publish them in a county
atlas which they will expect you to order and pay for in advance.
We have also learned that there is now a Genealogy Chain letter out.
Chain letters are frauds and therefore illegal. This one is only
selling a service but it is still illegal. Break the chain now!

MRS. TERRY, AGED 96 YEARS AND HER FAMOUS SPINNING mIEEL
,Mrs. Elizabeth COLE TERRY of Lawrence, Kansas, celebrated her 96th birthday Saturday, Nov. 10, 1906.
Mrs. TERRY was born Nov. 10, 1810 in Putnam county, New York, where she spent her childhood. In 1831 she
was married to John TERRY. They settled in northern Ohio and lived there until five children were grown.
Mr. TERRY died in 1859. Mrs. TERRY came to Lawrence in 1869 and since then has made her home with her
daughter, Mrs. Cecilia TOWNE. She has been a member of the Baptist Church for eighty years, but of late
has been unable to attend services. She is in possession of all her faculties and is a most interesting
conversationalist. She becomes quite animated when the subject of spinning is mentioned and it is one of
her chief delights to tell of the contests-"in which she participated in the days gone by. She was the
I
champion spinner in all the country around her old home. She is quite proud of her age and considers any
one young who may be eighty o·r thereabouts. Up to the last year or so, she made quite difficult fancy
work of various kinds.
She is the mother of five children: Mrs. Cecilia TOWNE of Lawrence, John M. TERRY, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, I
and I.C. TERRY, Monroe, Louisiana. &gt;Two are not living. She has ten grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren.

EUDORA
A correspondent of the Topeka Capital gives the following interesting
facts about our flourishing little neighbor at the mouth of the Wakarusa:
This place is situated at the mouth of the Wakarusa river, seven miles
east of Lawrence, on the line of the A.T.&amp; S.F.R.R., in Douglas county.
This place was laid out about five years ago by a German company from
Chicago, Illinois. It has a special charter as a city, granted by the
Territorial Legislature, under which, it has acted ever since. It elects
its mayor, council, marshal and other officers annually on the first
Monday in March.
The city covers 840 acres of land, and has a population of about 800,
principally Germans. We have five churches, two school houses, a flourishing mill and elevator; three general stores, besides two or three grocery
grocery stores, two drug stores, two hardward and tin shops, three hotels,
a lumber yard, two harness shops, an Odd Fellows' building, temperance
tabernacle, city hall, three cabinet shops, two boot and shoe shops, two
wagon shops, three blacksmith shops, carpenter shops, restaurants, barber
shop, three lodges of Odd Fellows and ~~sons, two or three doctors, and
about the same number of lawyers.
There is considerable improvement being made for this season of the
year. Several good dwellings are being built and others repaired. Our
brick schoolhouse is nearly completed and ready for use. The old schobl
building is too small to accommodate the scholars of the place. We have
an excellent school this winter under the management of Prof. J.C. BANTA,
as principal, and Miss FARR and Miss RAYSON assistants.
The German Episcopal Methodists have built them a very fine church
this season at a cost of about $3,000, which is a valuable improvement to
the place and speaks well for the congregation, it being small in number.
Rev .. Daniel WALTER, their pastor, is entitled to great credit for his untiring efforts and zeal in behalf of his church. They are now holding
protracted meetings and are having quite a revival.
There is considerable property changing hands, both in the town and
surrounding country, at good prices. Every building in the place is
occupied and rents are high.
Although crops were short, farmers say they realize about as much
money for their produce· as they usually do other years. l-Jheat never '.
looked better at this season of the year. There was a greater acreage of
wheat sown last fall than any previous year in this section of the country.
The prohibitory law is pretty generally observed here. There is but
one place that the law is openly violated, and there it is said that
they sell beer only. Prosecutions have already been instituted; and more
will be, to abate the nuisance and punish the offender, and there is but
little doubt that the guilty party will have to atone to the offended iaw
and close up shop.

After Quantrill burned the Morgan
home in Lawrence, Mr. Morgan bought
some hills that were covered with
Jack Oak trees and had springs in
the foot hills.
This farm was in
the northeast part of Grant Township,
near
the
Leavenworth
County
line.
He built his house between two springs.
The house was made mostly of native
lumber, Walnut Clapboards, Hackberry
floors,
and a
large fireplace
in
the
long kitchen.
This house was
built by Horace Hancock,
an early
day carpenter in Lawrence.

ANNA MORGAN WARD
1857 - 1952

In the spring of 1864 we left the place where father had built
his cabin home just ten years before. I remember the round stone
barn that was near our house, it was perfectly round, was bui 1. t
for dairy purposes. Some one has said it was an octagon but that
is a mistake. The new- owner might have changed it to an octagon
;after: we left it, but not before. We crossed the river on a ferry
jjoa-t~- as at that time there was no. bridge across the river. We went
through' the timber in North Lawrence, came out· in the clear at the
edge of Bismarck Grove.
There were some shanties at the edge of the grove, where colored
people lived. These shanties were the only signs of habitation that
we could see. We angled across the country,a little more north than
east. There were no roads to help our progress nor fences to hinder
us. We passed through two sloughs and came out on higher ground
just
south
of Mud Creek.
This land was still
of
-.
.
.
"
. Indian land. . Some
;,-"---- -...:::; ,
thIS ground had been stIrred up In places; thIS was where the raIlr6ad:~:
had evidently been surveyed. It was to go across the Robirisonfa'-rm-'
in a northwest, more west than north, course. The railroad later
. changed plans and went through Lawrence. We finally reached the
ford across Mud Creek which father had made. We crossed over and
were on our ground.

�The house was not qui te ready for us so mother, brother,
J. F. and myself went to the J. P. Whitney home to stay a
few days. The Whitney home was about one half mile from
our house. It did not take us long to get settled!in our:
home as much of our worldly goods had burned with our house'~­
A few necessities were added as we needed them. I remember
the first coal oi 1 lamp father brought home, it was a real
thrill for us. It was a tall slim_ l?mp, a pretty green base
tapering up to the bowl which l hele! about on-half pint of
oi 1. We sti 11 used some candles----:- Mother made our candles
for a long time, but now we could buy them at the grocery
store. Our pioneer days were over, ..
II In
the early 60' s, and before Quantrill's raid, David
Miller settled on Mud Creek near the Leavenworth County
line, just south of the J.P. Whitney home. Miller evidently
bought his land from the Indians. There have been several
generations of Millers on this same farm, and their children
have attended Oakridge School.

Just west and joining the Miller farm is the farm William
Stiner bought from the Indians in the early 60' s. William,
the youngest son of the Stiners is still living there. The
Stiner farm is joined on the west by the southeast part
of the Robinson section. In this corner of the Robinson
farm is a tenement house. The Eli Mercer family if the first
family that I know of living there. They had several children
in the school.
The Mercer family lived in the district
for many years, and on different farms. A number of families
have lived in this same corner. For the last few years it
has been the home of Will Hayden: and is known as Hayden's
corner.
South of Hayden's corner, is 40 acres of land which was
purchased by Edward W. l'-10rgan in 1867. This land was part
of the Jim Lane estate and was sold by Capt. Strong, agent.
The south part of this 40 was slough. I remember helping
my brothers plant sod corn in that s~ough in 1867. Mr. Morgan
did not keep this land very long. i The:· south part was sold
to one party. The north part was later sold to Scott Wood.
Some of the Wood heirs still live on the place.
West of [the] Charlie Wood home is the farm where Joseph
E. Garrett settled in the 60' s. The Stiners and Garretts
were rel~ted. The Garretts had two boys, the youngest boy,
Ed Garrett lives on the place.
West of the Garrett farm is the Ed. Pine place. The Pines
are old settlers of the community north of Lawrence. I,

,more or less.
Here a stone schoolhouse about 15 ,by 27 feet was ,built and continued in use with only mi!1or
changes or additions for the entire life of the district. It had a small belfry which was later removed
,md the bell sold to Jesse Sutton who still bas it in his possession. At some time a clo~-room 'Was
added to the nonh of the entrance door, but otherw~ it remained with its exterior just as it 'Was
originally built. The stone chimney was erected at the back end and from the ground, oli the
outside of the building. The walls are about two feet thick and the twelve-foot ceiling arches,
above the living-room of the present owners. It had only two' win&lt;Jqws on each side and a siI,gle
solid door in the front with transom above for ventilation, and a hirge rock for a stoop below, ~t.
Inside were three rows of desks; double ones in the center and single ones along the outsides.
\' The first available records revealed a contract dated Aug. 2, 1897, between Lizz.ie Postma and !

It'appears from the clerk's report at the'end of the term in 1898;that there were 25 pupils, but
he listed only 17 as of school age on the school census. This could mean anyone of several different things: one, that there were at least 8 of school age whoSe names he failed to obtain; two,
'thllt he had transposed the figures "17" and "25",; and three, that there were 8 above school
age who attended school. Which is correct no one will probably ever lmow:but the writer is
inclined toward number three as the solution.
"

The names given on the 1898 census are: Grace BACHELOR; Alma, Minnie Ems arid
H!mlan BEHRENS;, Maud; Marion' and Alvin BOND;· Karl DA VIS; Oral and RUssell

COLIDfBIA NO. 67
Though some kind of school may have existed here at an earlier date,
a building site was acquired September,l, l87l.from Stephen and Susannah
STUDEBAKER. The first board was Thomas WARNE, Jacob }IDRPHY and Edward
JONES. The school was names Rocky Mountain School, District No. 67. This
small frame building served the district until about 1893. The first
teacher was J.D. PORTER and was paid $40.00 per month. Other teachers
until 1893 were Ella FLINN, Wm. GALLION, M.E. SMITH, J.H. CARRUTH, James
MARCKLE;l; James B. OWENS, C. REYNOLDS, Laura ANDERSON, Laura GEIGER, Dora
E. PEER, Miss FITZ, Linnie KENNEDY, A. BECK, Maud GEIGER, Lizzie KERNS,
Maggie GREGORY, and Mary REYNOLDS.
Salaries ranged from $30.00 to $40.00 per month. An item on the
books reads, "to Sarah FUSSELL for boarding teacher ... $10.00,~' indicates
that the teachers "board was paid by the district in addition to the salary.
In 1893, George and Dora MARKLEY sold the district a parcel of land
about 1/2 mile west of the original site. The old building was moved to
the George MARKLEY farm by horses where it became a part of his house,
still with belfry and bell on top. The property is now the William RICE
farm where the house stands.
Since the district was to have a new schoolhouse in a new location,
it was decided to give it a new name also. Columbia was chosen since 1892
was the four hundredth anniversary of the discovery of America by COLUMBUS.
The new building was larger than the old one. The belfry was not
added until 1913. Myra FITZ was the first teacher in the new building.
Others until 1900 were Ella HAMMOND, Mabel GRAHAM, Eva BATES, Arthur
BRIDWELL, D.F. SMITH, Artis METSKER.
Board members were G.W. MARKLEY, H.B. SANDERS, and A. BROHAMMER.

.
Teachers from 1900 to 1910 were Rella HOUDYSHEL, Minnie KENNEDY,
again Artis METSKER, Alice HAMMOND, Nannie CLEVELAND, Rose NEAL, Ella WHITE,
Alice HYATT and E.G. SMITH. School board members were: Wm. CHURCHBAUGH,

ANDERSON, Mary SANDERS, Lottie ANDERSON, Lottie THURBER, and Agnes STEVENS.
Board members were: S.J. MARKLEY, E.H. SANDERS, and Charles BROHAMMER.
The 1930's·continued with Grace Agnes STEVENS, Sylvia SHULER, Vera
WARD, Lillian ROBBINS and Freida ROTHCHILD. Board members wereS.J. MARKLEY,
Mrs. John BROHAMMER and Charles BROHAMMER.
The 1940's began with Freida ROTHCHILD, Doris WEIBLE, Florence L.
GUGIN, Blake D. MILLER. In 1948 the district was disorganized and the
property attached to districts 38, 47 and 51 under the direction of County
Superintendent Margaret HURLEY. The schoolhouse was sold and dismantled.
The school district held literary society meetings for its young
people. It had a constitution but no name. A meeting was scheduled on
January 2, 1894 to fully organize the society.
