A high wind was blowing and the barn burned like paper. There was no hay or animals in the barn, only an old buggy,~and the loss was about $275. \ ~~_ _ ---.J �The Lawrence Daily Journal and Daily Kansas Tribune June 8, 1882 EARLY SCHOOLS OF LAWRENCE By C.L. EDWARDS Lawrence was settled in August, 1854. January 16, 1855, 'Edward P. FITCH, who came from Hopkinton, Massachusetts, opened a school in Dr~ ROBINSON's back office, which was up stairs in the Emigrant Aid Building, which stood on the now vacant lot north of the National Bank building. The school term was three and one half months, about 20 scholars in attendance. The teacher's salary was raised by subscription. The following June--about the l6th--Miss Kate KELLOGG, also from Massachusetts, opened a school in the same place. Length of term three months. Miss K.,we are told, was employed and paid by Dr. ROBINSON. She returned East at the close of her term. There was a call for a school meeting for October 11, 1855, but no record can be found of such a meeting having been held or of any school during the winter of 1855. The exciting events of the October election and the "Wakarusa War" in December ,following, gave full occupation and sufficient schooling to all citizens, old and young, for the seacon. In February, 1855, Abram WILDER, with his family, came to Kansas from Bolton, Massachusetts, and settled in Lawrence. In the Spring of 1856 the daughter, Lucy M. WILDER, opened the third term of schools 'in Lawrence in the Emigrant Aid building. This I think was a subscription or tuition school, and was in session on the memorable 21st of May, 1856, when Sheriff JONES and United States Marshal DONALDSON entered the town with their hordes of "Border Ruffians." The destruction of the Hotel and printing presses on that day temporarily scattered the school; but it was reassembled when comparative quiet was restored, and continued during the season, with occasional interruptions, when the teacher exchanged her occupation of moulding minds and teaching the young idea how 'to shoot, and engaged in the more practical occupation of moulding bullets and rolling cartridges for her father, brothers and friends to shoot in defence of their chosen home. During the spring or summer of 1856, Miss Henrietta ROSS, who also came from Massachusetts with her father'sfamiiy in September, 1855, taught a short term of school in the room over'''FAXON's meat market" where the regular Sabbath services of Plymouth, Congregational church were held at th'at time. In the fall of 1856 Rev. E. NUTE and E.B. WHITMAN, Esq., made arrangements with C.L. EDWARDS, a teacher who came from Massachusetts in 1855, to open a school in the basement of the Unitarian church which was then approaching completion, for a period of six months at a salary of $800, Mr. E. to hire his own assistant. The basement rooms were in the hands of the plasterers, PAUL and HARE, and, cold weather coming on and a multitude of other hindrances such a plasterers are heir to, the rooms were not ready for occupancy till 1st of April, 1857. Through the influence of Messrs. WHITMAN, ROTE and others, the desks, tables, settees, books, globes and maps necessary for a complete furnishing of the school had been donated by parties in Boston, which like all the teachers thus far named, and a majority of the scholars in the year 1857, had belonged to the good old Bay State. The school opened March 30, 1857, in the Emigrant Aid building on Massachusetts street. Miss Lucy M. WILDER, having been engaged as assistant on the 1st of April, the new rooms in the church were occupied, and on the 2nd, formally dedicated for school purposes. Then was inaugurated what for two years was known as "Quincy High School," so named for Hon. Josiah QUINCY, of Boston. �Early Schools of Lawrence, con't. The salary was paid in part by funds sent Messrs. ROTE and WHITMAN, in part by Dr. ROBINSON, and finally in full by turning over to the principal a lot of notes given by poor settlers in payment for loans made them from funds sent from Boston. One or two of the notes were paid, but the balance are still held. with the autographs of several of the prominent men of that day attached. It is barely possible that these, the autographs--not the notes, may some day be valuable. Our regular seating capacity was for sixty scholars, but the roll of the first term foots up a total of 77 names. At the end of fourteen weeks the vacation occured and the fall term of ten weeks opened on the 7th of September. Number of scholars this term was 67. During a portion of summer a term of school for younger pupils was held in the vestry room of the church under the charge of Miss DAVENPORT--not from Massachusetts. Later the room was used for the storage of relief goods in charge of E.B. WHITMAN of this school. In the fall of 1857 a meeting of citizens was called .to choose a committee and raise funds for a winter school. The following persons were elected a supertending committee: Dr. S.B. PRENTISS chairman, Dr. Albert NEWMAN secretary, Lyman ALLEN treasurer, E.B. WHITMAN, G.W. HUTCHINSON. John BOWLES was appointed to circulate a paper and a large amount was subscribed. Mr. BOWLES was also collector. The following named persons were engaged as teachers: C.L. EDWARDS principal, and Misses Lucy M. WILDER, Sarah A. BROWN, Mary BOUGHTON, Isabella G. OAKLEY assistants. The term of 14 weeks opened November 30, 1857. The principal was to receive $600 and pay the first assistant; not being responsible for the pay of the other ladies, the amount of their salaries is not on (my) record. It is, however, fresh in mind that the subscription list did not hold out from failure to pay and other causes, and while the assistants were all paid in full, the principal carried a shortage of from one to two hundred dollars ten years, and finally in '67 or '68, through the efforts of Hon. S. KIMBALL, R. MORROW and R. L. FRAZER then in the city council, got his claim allowed without interest. The assistants were assigned as follows: Misses WILDER and BOUGHTON to the High School, Misses BROWN and OAKLEY to Intermediate and Primary. All the departments with a total of 210 pupils were crowded into the basement of the Unitarian church. On the 27th of January, 1858, the first "Free State" Territorial Legislature, then in session at Lawrence, adjourned at an early hour for the purpose of visiting the schools. On the visitors register for that date we find nearly fifty names, including Secretary and Acting Governor WOODSON, Senators NASH and WRIGHT, Speaker DEITZLER and E.N. MORRILL, H. Miles MOORE, C. GRAHAM and others of the House. In the spring of 1858 the city Government was established with James BLOOD as mayor. The schools were organized with Dr. A. NEWMAN and John M. COE, Esq., Trustees, and Dr. A. FULLER, T. Dwight THACHER, Dr. S.C. HARRINGTON, Geo. F. KILLAM as examining committee. The teachers were C.L. EDWARDS, and Mi~s Lucy M. WILDER in the Higher Department; Misses Sarah BROWN and Lizzie HASKELL, Intermediate; and Miss Isabella G. OAKLY in the Primary. The primary school was moved to a building near the Hancock House, which stood near the N.W. corner of Tennessee and Warren streets. The High School contained 60 pupils. The principal's salary was fixed at $1,200, Miss WILDER's at $600 per annum. This disparity will disappear when it is understood that city scrip was issued to the Principal for the total amount, which sold from 40 to 60 cents on the market, while the assistant was paid in· cash 100 cents on the dollar from the avails of the same. �Early Schools of Lawrence, con't. The other teachers were paid direct by the city and probably also received scrip. The spring term opened AprilS, 1858, and continued 13 weeks. The fall term of 12 weeks opened September 6, with the same teachers. The number of pupils in the High School was 63. At the close of this term Miss WILDER resigned the position she had filled with great acceptance for nearly two years, and a few months later was married to B.W. WOODWARD, Esq., of this city. The winter term opened December 13, 1858, with Miss HASKELL and Miss H.M. FELT who had been Miss BROWN's assistants transferred to the High School. There were 74 pupils in the higher department during this term. At the close of this second year of service Mr. EDWARDS, who in the preceding November had been elected County Superintendent of Schools, receiving his commission from Governor MEDARY, February 7,1859, resigned the position of principal of the High School, and C.W. ADAMS, who during the winter had opened a private school in Woodward's building on Massachusetts street, was appointed to the vacancy, and the High school during the Spring and Fall was removed to the Woodward building. The old room in the basement had been hired by Mr. EDWARDS who designed opening a private school in the Fall of 1859. Some time in 1858, through the active exertions of Dr. MINER and Rev. WIn. BISHOP, a Board of Trustees had been organized and operations commenced for a University. The majority of the trustees were Presbyterians. The board included Gov. ROBINSON, Rev. Charles REYNOLDS, T.Dwight THACHER, :H.M. SIMPSON, C.L .. , EDWARDS and one or two others from the vicinity who were not of that denomination. In 1859 work had been commenced upon a building on Mount Oread and the foundation put in of what is now called the old University. During the Summer of 1859, it was decided to open a Primary Department of Lawrence University, which was done in September of that year in connection with Mr. EDWARDS' private school, Rev. William BISHOP and Rev. Charles REYNOLDS coming in daily and conducting the departments of languages and elocution respectively. There were 43 pupils in attendance. Mr.' EDWARDS received the tuition fees, while the other gentlemen got away with 'the glory; at the close of this term, the glory having faded the tuitions failing, or for other,causes known only to the Presbyterian Board, the school was suspended. Mr. EDWARDS gave up his private school and the City High School under Mr. ADAMS moved back to its old quarters. The letter of Rev. BISHOP will shed further light upon this first University term, and Mr. WOODWARD's remarks to follow will cover the history from this point to the Quantri1 Raid.

Short addresses from persons who were actively interested in our schools at that time. �§~ I I I Quincy HighSchool Reunion continued I I Banquet. ! Social Reunion 1 That the roll ~ay be made complete, please send names to C.L. EDWARDS. I 1 On response to that call over three hundred of the old scholars answered or had their n~mes answered to. They met in the old original school-room in the basement of the Unitarian church. The original old teacher's desk was there, the old:bell which called the children to order, and which had before done service in the old Free State Hotel was there. The original superintendent was there and ~resided. Five of the old teachers were there; a majority of the first board of leducation were there. The old ~chool room, as one entered, looked like a miniature paradise, which it is di£ficult to describe. On either side of the teacher's desk were doors leading ~o the rear. Over the one to the right, in evergreen, was 1857-that was when the school began, where the scholars entered, directly back of the teacher, w~s l863--when the school ended. Over the door to the left, 1882-where we now go out, representing the present. Under the date back of the teacher were the photographs of S.M. THORP, Reesen SUTHERLAND, Miss Lucy WILDER, , I Lieut. Low. WADKER, son of Col. Sam. WALKER, Charlie COLEMAN, son of E.A. COLEMAN, Mary ANDERSON, Emma ELDRIDGE and Emma JENKINS, all of whom are deI ceased. There ~as also a picture of the first building erected in Lawrence, two floral wreaths, a cross and anchor and other floral decorations. The' teacher's desk was ornamented by several boquets and a table in front contained fifty or more most elegant floral designs. Beside this the walls were hung I ' with pictures and even the ponderous wooden pillars were twined with evergreens and flowers. At a few ~inutes after two W.H. LAMON was directed by the teacher to ring the bell and can the children in. Then the old call bell was tapped and the children came t~ order. Mr. C.L. EDWARDS said the school would open with singing, and the boys and girls of twenty .... five years ago united in singing "God Speed the Right i " The teach+r then offered a fervent prayer, invoking the blessing of Heaven upon those present and those absent. I Mr. EDWARBS then said the first school was opened in Lawrence March 30, 1857, in the Emigrant Aid Building. Following the old plan we shall call the roll first, land require an excuse from all absent without leave. The first school in!Lawrence was taught by Mr. FITCH, and opened in January, 1855. Among his scholars was Alvira COREL, now Mrs. J.J. McGEE, Josie and Dora JOHNSON. Of Mi~s Kate KELLOGG's pupils, the following are the names: D.C. HASKELL, G.P. W]LDER, Maggie DUNCAN, Josie JOHNSON.

Mary JENKI~S (WILDER)--In response to this name Mrs. O.E. LEARNARD read the following letter: 1315 Webster St., Oakland, May 19. My Dear Mary: Your letter with ,announcement of quarter-centennial reached me night before last, but\I have had no opportunity to consider the matter of reply until this moment. Circumstances beyond my control render it impossible for me to be present; But rest assured, my dear, I shall be with you in heart 1 1 I 1 I I I ' �70 Quincy High School Reunion continued when the roll is called from the old book in the old familiar tone of. voice. I shall be prepared to note with you the changes which time has wrought in the lines of members present and absent also to recall the memory of the faces of those long since gone to the.. ';bettei:: land." The 'years have gone 'so quickly that I suspect you will fancy you can almost hear the echo of those voices somewhere about' the old house.: Onlij"a few more days and we shall meet there again, waiting on the other side, perhaps to guide our feet in the new and strange paths. Death has called away very few of the old original members, I suppose, and yet I imagine the class will not be very well represented at your reunion. A part of the old class in arithmetic are still there, however. Please ask James FAXON if he wishes to propound another mathematical problem to them. He was in a most unamiable state of mind towards GREENLEAF's National when he gave this one, which you perhaps remember. "How many cubic feet are there'- in a big pile of brush?" I sympathized with him in his mood and so remembered the problem. Remember the doctor and myself to those present and tell them how pleased we should be to be with you on that occasion. Remember me to all friends. Yours affectionately, MARY. Emma JENKINS' name was responded to by Mrs. Dr. PRENTISS. Josie ELDRIDGE (ELLIS)--In response to this name Mrs. WHITMAN delivered the following eulogy: JOSIE P. ELDRIDGE. Those of us who were pupils here during the years of '57 and '58, will not have forgotten the lovely face of her in memory of whom I have been _ called to write these few lines. No words of mine can do justice to that dear friend of those old times. Her sweet ways, her loving disposition must be remembered by all her old schoolmates. Josie P. ELDRIDGE was born Jan. 25, 1846. Sept. 5, 1871, she married Rev. F.M. ELLIS, and died in Kansas City, Oct. 5th, 1872. This is the record of one whose life was full of gentleness and goodness, and for whom the beautiful verses of our loved poet, WHITTIER, seem to have been especially written. Another hand is beckoning us, Another call is given: And glows once more with angel-steps The path which reaches Heaven. And half we deemed she needed not The changing of her sphere, To give to Heaven a shining one, Who walked an angel here. The light of her young life went down, As sinks behind the hill The glory of a setting star Clear, suddenly, and still. The blessings of her quiet life Fell on us like the dew: And good thoughts, where her .. ... _.. "'footsteps pressed Like fairy blossoms grew. As pure and sweet, her fair brow seemed Eternal as the sky; And like the brook's low song, her voice, A sound which could not die. Sweet promptings unto kindest deeds Were in her very look; We read her face, as one who reads A true and holy book. Lucy HOYT, absent. Margaret JONES, reported as deceased by Henry ROSS. �Quincy High School Reunion continued Mary L. CLOUGH (WANLASS)--responded to by Mrs. W.O. HUBBELL, who read a letter of regret. Mary J.

EDWARDS: Dear old teacher of my childhood, in response to the notice of reuni.on I send these lines from my Nebraska home. I wish that I could be with you in person but this being impossible I will try my best to imagine myself there. I hope that I may add something of interest to this little gathering of old and well remembered schoolmates. In a few days it will be seven years since I had the pleasure of looking on beautiful Lawrence, and except- four times have not looked on a face I have ever seen before, outside of our own little family. I assure you these little flying visits of friends of other days and other scenes were appreciated, and none can tell how much until isolated from home and friends. Lawrence has always been home to me and always will be. Where ones childhood is spent and loved ones live and lie buried, there the hearts home affections center and "homeis where the heart is." This gathering will be one of joy and sadness to many, for there will be names called who gathered with us around you and our dear teacher, Miss WILDER, to receive instruction and consolation in our many struggles and trials in our studies, who are now remembered with the silent dead. Others like myself have sought homes in distant states, who, I hope, will respond as I have done to tell of their wanderings. My recollections of you""are those of pleasure, as �72 Quincy High School Reunion continued we always found you ever ready to assist, always patient, kind and courteous. And on my part I have many regrets, as I can now remember the precious hours I let slip by never to return, regrets that I did not improve those golden opportunities now lost . . And, in conclusion, let me say how much I should love.to be with you to answer to my name when it is called. I hope to see a minute account of the meeting in the Lawrence Journal, which paper is gladly received in our home. I am glad to know, though absent, I am not forgotten. with many loving remembrances for each and all, I remain as ever, a true friend. Helen PATTERSON CONE. Lizzie FREEMAN, Mr. John ROSS answered to her name and said that though she was not here herself, her picture was. Susie FAXON was answered for by Mr. Frank FAXON. Maggie DUNCAN (GREGG) was reported by C.L. EDWARDS. Bathilda SNYDER was reported by M1ss BROWN, who read the following letter: Denver, Col., May 28. Dear Mr. EDWARDS: I received the invitation so kindly sent by you, to be present at the reunion of your old scholars and teachers on the 1st of June. How I should enjoy meeting all the dear, familiar faces assembled together in our old school-room. It would seem like being a child once more, and certainly after roll call my hand would instinctively seek the books, slate and pencil of my school girl days ,.' but instead of this I am away out here on the farthest limits of the plains of Colorado, and find it utterly impossible to be one of your number. I was in Lawrence last fall, saw many of myoId schoolmates, but none of my teachers. I shall remember the. hour· of roll call and hope some kind schoolmate ," will answer for me, and tell them I am thinking of them at that moment and deeply regret not being able to be with them. I sincerely hope the majority of our number will be "present," although many dear friends are gone forever, and many like myself will be absent in person, but with you in spirit. Your old scholar, Bathilda SNYDER METCALF. DOra JOHNSONi(tJELSH) -present. Emma ELDRIDGE (RIGGS), deceased-responded to by John ROSS. Jimmy ELDRIDGE-killed in QUANTRIL raid, answered for by John ROSS. Abe WILDER, absent. James FAXON was present and felt it good to be here. David SUTHERLAND, absent. Charles HOYT was unavoidably absent. Edward MORGAN, responded for by James FAXON. Charlie COLEMAN, killed in battle-eulogy by James FAXON. Eddie HUTCHINSON-died of quick consumption two years ago. W.H. LAMON said of him: "And what shall I say of Edwin. I remember him as the brightest and shrewdest of boys; always at the head of his class; he was a young giant in mental arithmetic, standing head and shoulders above the entire school in that branch of study. He excelled in penmanship and at composition he was good. He died in Humbolt, Kan., of that fell destroyer consumption, at the age of ~5, leaving a wife and one child." �73 Quincy High School Reunion continued Rezin SUTHERLAND,-eulogy pronounced by Mrs. MARSH. Henry ROSS responded present and called on James FAXON to make his speech. Arthur FULLER was answered for by John ROSS Geo. P. WILDER was answered for by James FAXON, who read the following letter: Chanute, Kan., May 31st, 1882. Teachers, Schoolmates and Friends, Lawrence, Kansas. I am very sorry that circumstances are such that I cannot be with you tomorrow, however I can go back a good many years as to the history of the Lawrence Schools. The first school I attended was taught by Miss KELLOGG, the room being in what was known as the old Emigrant Aid building a two story frame situated north of the present National Bank, the lower room was used for a carpenter shop and hardware story. Dudley C. HASKELL and myself were the largest scholars and when it was necessary for any whipping to be done either Mr. HASKELL or myself were sent out after the carpenter to perform the laborious task who by the way happened to be Mr. Geo. HUNT, father of one of your prosperous merchants. The next year the Unitarian church was erected when the wise men of Lawrence rented the lower rooms and school opened with a full corps of teachers. Two of the number are now with you while the third now rests with many more dear friends in your beautiful cemetery. The next thing of importance, as far as the writer was concerned, was the day he had to speak his first piece and failed when Mr. EDWARDS sent me to my seat, with the consoling words you can have two next week. will say I had plenty of company. My second trouble, with several others was to offer an apology to Miss FELTS (now Mrs. H.S. CLARKE) for misbehavior in our classes. The third and last difficulty when 25 of us were sent home from school one Friday afternoon for whispering with instructions not to return until we were willing to ask pardon of our teacher, Mr. EDWARDS, and will say that quite a number did not return. Trusting this will be a pleasant meeting and that a permanent organization will be effected, I remain Truly· yours. G.P. WILDER John M. SPEER-Robert SPEER and David PURINGTON-eulogy read by Mrs. W.O. HUBBELL. John M. SPEER, at the age of eleven years, and Robert at the age of nine, came to Kansas with their parents, May 18, 1855, from Medina, Ohio. Soon after their arrival they entered the first school taught in Lawrence. They next attended the Quincy High school, where they received much of their early training, which better prepared them for the positions of honor and trust they afterwards held, and a bright prospect of future usefulness lay before them. Robert at the age of twelve, was page in the first Free State Territorial Legislature, of '57 and '8, and John was page in the first Kansas State Legislature under the Topeka constitution, and witnessed the dispersion of that Legislature at the point of the bayonet, by Col. SUMNER, by the direction of Jefferson DAVIS as secretary of war. Though but 12 years old he was among the last to leave, and was wont to tell his school mates with great glee of how some 1adJes punched members in the back with their parasols to make them vote as Col. SUMNER was marching upon the Hall of the House. �Quincy High School Reunion continued He was a writer of some ability. Both were employed in THE TRIBUNE office at the time of their death, .which occurred in that terrible massacre by QUANTRIL, August 21,1863, which we all so well remember, when death. and destruction Laid waste so many homes, and so.many hearts were made to mourn the loss of loved ones. The body of Robert was never found. He was supposed to have been murdered and burned in the Republican office where Liberty Hall now stands with David PURINTON, where the two boys were supposed to have slept the night preceding. Thus abruptly terminated the lives of three bright and promising young men, whom memory loves to cherish; and could they have been spared to finish their work so nobly begun, their names might have stood high on the roll of honor. But to-day their seats are vacant. They have answered to the last roll call. Han. D.C. HASKELL responded in the following letter: House of Representatives, Washington, D.C., May 24, '82 C.L. EDWARDS, Lawrence, Kan. My Dear Teacher:--When you call the roll on the 1st of June, after our long vacation, I shall fail to answer to my name, much, very much to my regret, and so under the rule I send this note as my excuse. Neither father nor mother can write it for me, for the Great Master has called them to Him in the great school where is taught the mysteries of the infinite, and I am alone now, with only my thoughts for company. My excuse--I had dropped my pen that I might think, and for the moment forgotten my present duty. First dear teacher, I have lost my books--every one of them. I laid them down, I don't remember where, and they are gone, hopelessly gone, I know not where, nor how. I have not hunted for them much--I don't know where to look for them, and some how I cannot but feel that if I did look, I should not find them. My dinner pail too has disappeared, and·there is no one here to put up my lunch. Besides, my dear teacher (you must not laugh "at me) I have watched all. the morning for Emma and Nellie ENOS to come across the prairie, (you know we always go to school together) I have not seen them yet, and now it is too late. I am afraid for once that they have gone some other way. I simply cannot go to school to-day. Please excuse me, and I will send with this a composition I have written concerning some things that happened last term, and some that I remember during the vacation. I sat if you remember with Lee ANDERSON, (the boy who lived with Mrs. HICKS over on the west side of town), and our seat was in the northeast corner of the school room, in the back row. Lee was a good boy, and advanced more rapidly in his studies than any boy I ever knew. He could barely read when he first came to our school, and when his second term closed Lee had mastered, aye mastered GREENLEAF's arighmetic, and was correspondingly well along in his other studies. Poor boy! he started for Pike's Peak by the Arkansas river route, sickened by the way, and died at Pawnee Fork. I read his name the same year on the bit of board they had placed his grave, while I too, was on my way, across the then great unknown plains to the land of gold. A few seats in front of us and in the next row of seats to the left of us, was the liveliest, most frolicsome, irrepressible bright, good natured little fellow who ever plagued a teacher, or learned the most difficult at �75 Quincy High School continued lesson in a minute, and if you can see him to-day in the sober, staid, and upright merchant of Lawrence, Wm. LEIS, Esq., your eyes are brighter than mine surely. I can see the boy this minute, and I love my friend the merchant, but I must call in a scientist to trace the connection between the two--I cannot. Another of our boys a little younger than myself, has never quite broken the chain of resemblance. Geo. WILDER the public spirited merchant of. Chanute is our old Georgie WILDER "grown up" to be a leading citizen of Neosho county. John ROSS, Abe. WILDER, Henry ROSS, Will. LAMON, Jas. FAXON and a dozen more of our older boys will be with you, and answer to their names, get all the good seats, and tell of a thousand things, that to write, would take all my time this summer. John ROSS was a good boy, none better, and in his riper years has filled the promise of his youth in a splendid manhood, but there were times, John, when you tried our patience, and taxed our friendship sorely, but we could never refuse so good a mate our forgiveness after the smart was over.·--Teacher, you remember that John had good taste in two directions? He knew a good horse when he saw one, and he knew also the prettiest girls, (all our girls were pretty) and John had a good horse and buggy. I never knew a pretty girl who did not love a buggy ride. Oh well teacher, it is all right now, I can't blame the girls, and of course John had a right to, but you see us barefooted boys had no show, not the least in the world. One can't forget every thing-still I don't see how we could blame the girls. What rare old games of ball we had. How could a set of boys have had a better time? And it is twenty-five years ago! A dozen happy beautiful homes built since on the old ball ground, and not a trace of it is left. Do you remember, teacher, how out on that ball gound, Abe. WILDER, Charley COLEMAN and I started an Indian Industrial Training School?-twenty-five years ago? CARLisLE and HAMPTON were not thought of then. We were the pioneers in that grand work of civilizing the red man--tried to get a Kaw Indian to cut wood for the school house stove in payment for his dinner. The school failed--never had but the one pupil, and he did not gradua te . Dear old Charley COLEMAN, just as good and true, as ever boy was made. The war came, Charley heard the call of his country and went, but he never came home, he sleeps where "Honor guards with solemn sound The bi vouac of the dead." No sooner do I commence to jot down these recollections of boyhood days and the old school than I am reminded of the impossibility, for mere lack of time, of preserving these sheets, one in a thousand of the pleasant memories that come thronging to my mind, and begging so strongly for a place. It is possible that we had the usual boyish quarrels, exchanged the usual hard words, and the blows that were so soon repented of, but if so,I have forgotten them. I can recall to mind not a single instance of the kind. The past comes back to me in only pleasing recollections that bear with them nothing that I would fain expunge from the mental record. My early school experiences were somewhat peculiar in the way of changes. I remember distinctly to have attended district school in nine on �76 Quincy High School Reunion continued different places. If experience ever·. :taught me anything, or rather if I profited much under the same old teacher, I think when I entered the seminary at East Hampton to prepare for college, I must have been a juvenile expert on the subject of district school. Be that as it may, I regard our old school at Lawrence as by far the best one I ever knew or read of. The discipline, dear teacher, that you maintained was marvelous. In what other school was ever permission given to any pupil and every pupil to rise and cross the school room at will, on any errand connected with the daily tasks, conditioned only that there should be no noise and no abuse of the privelige. In what other school was then enlisted every one of the older pupils as self-elected monitors to enforce the rules? I know of none. Our school was pre-eminent for its good order, and so thoroughly was every pupil imbued with the idea of preserving it, that older ones acted as the assistant teacher in cases of her absence frequently, and heard the recitations of the lower classes, with the gravity an decorum of owls, not surpassing in this regard however the members of the class who recited. The influences of that school will never cease to act, never. They will go on, and on, and on, generation after generation. Think of that! When the next quarter centennial comes there may not be one of the old band left. At best only a few, a very few, old and white haired, will be left to recall the dear old days, but the influences of that school will never die. The pearls of good counsel that were. dropped one by one by you, dear teacher, in the pellucid pool of that old school room, sent the ever widening circles out and on, out and on, unbrokenly--at last they will . break, but in little waves on the far off silent shores of the Infinite. Join wi th me friends, schoolma tes.· in .this sentiment to our teacher Here's a smile for those that love thee Here's a sigh for those who hate; And whatever sky's above thee, Here's a heart for any fate. But who shall make answer to that sentiment, that I know will be presented--of course it will be presented,--Our Girls-"We had been brutes without you." I am not equal to the occasion. There will fall to some favored one, the pleasing duty, to tell how well they bore their part, ho~ they brightened ·by their presence the old school room, what a potent incentive they furnished "us boys" to make at least high endeavors to gain an honorable place and name for ourselves when we should come upon the stage of action. After twenty five years, we will all bear witness as to each and every one of our girl schoolmates, that we could do them no greater honor, provide for them no more fitting testimonial, than to execute faithfully in their behalf the last injunction given in the last chapter of the Book of Proverbs. "Give her of the fruits of her hands and let her own works praise her in the gates." I fear friends that'I have wearied you, and I will close, there will never be a celebration that I shall so much regret my inability to attend as this one.' I shall doubtless meet many of you again, and the meeting with each of you will be most pleasurable as it has always been, but I shall never meet together, as you are to-day, and it is with sincere sorrow that I can �77 Quincy High School Reunion continued be with you only in spirit. This however wiLL be some cOIlsolation, widen your circle and let me in, let me feel again the clasp of your hands for a moment, and then breathing a wish that you may have to-day a most joyous reunion, and for the future that you may have a full, free and unfettered prosperity I sink into the silent signature of Your friend D.C. HASKELL. Hoffman COLAMORE, responded to by John ROSS. Geo. H. JENKINS, was unable to be present but his regrets were sent. Charles F. MINER,--died of yellow fever in Memphis, answered for' by Will BULLENE. Cosma G. COLEMAN, answered for by James FAXON. Will DUNCAN, answered "Here." C.T.K. PRENTICE said Will narrowly escaped being absent by going over the dam after a duck. Dr. PRENTISS was of the opinion that Will got a "duck." Eddie DOW, deceased--reported by Henry ROSS. James Lowe WALKER, was answered for by Charles SMITH with the following statement: James Lowe WALKER, son of Col. Samuel WALKER and. wife, was born in Lowden, Franklin county, Pa., in June 21st, 1846. He moved to Kansas in 1855 with his father and family. He attended the school taught by Mr. Edward in 1857--also the schools taught by C.W. ADAMS and Miss BARBER in the year 1859 and 1860. In 1863 he enlisted as a private soldier in Company I, 5th Kansas cavalry, served in that regiment till promoted to the position of 1st Lieutenant of Company D., 16th Kansas. In 1865 was ordered to Colorado. Was killed at Julesburg in the fall of 1865. His body lies buried in Oak Hill Cemetery near Lawrence Kansas. He died a brave soldier and a worthy man. Geo. HUNT--iIi the city, but not able to be present. Charles and Barney PALMER, eulogized by John ROSS. Walter PARKER answered for by Henry ROSS, is now submaster of the Philips Grammar School in Boston. Nellie ENOS MARSH remarked that Walter PARKER said that Mary BROWN and Nellie ENOS were the two worst girls in school. Principal EDWARDS said in response,--He never knew Walter PARKER to tell a lie. Samuel DODSWORTH and Thomas SEATON were answered for by the teacher. John ROSS was glad to be present and respond to the old roll call. Lyman PRENTIS--Mrs. Wm. SIMPSON presented a written excuse for him, but the teacher doubted its genuineness, especially as it was not signed. John ROSS, however, came to the rescue of Lyman, and put in a good word for him, telling an amusing story about him. FAXON 2d--Frank FAXON answered for himself and said he was one of the smallest boys of the school. This created amusement, as he has now grown to be a very large man. The teacher then called on Wm. LAMON to read a composition which he had written twenty-five years ago, and which he had not been allowed to see since. It was entitled, "My Native Town" and was a very funny document. This rhetorical exercise, the teacher said closed the first term of school,the total number of names called being 77. ' To be continued in the next issue.

ALLEN LEEPER The subjects of this sketch were early settlers of Lawrence; they came to Kansas in 1859 and in point of actual years of residence are among the oldest in the historic city. They passed through the memorable massacre of Quantrell's men, Mr. LEEPER being miraculously preserved from being burned to death by the heroic efforts and bravery of his wife. Allen LEEPER was born in Ohio, August 24, 1826. When six years of age his parents moved to Bloomington, Ill., where Allen was educated. He married Vienna VEATCH, September 26, 1847, remaining in Bloomington until 1859, when they removed to Kansas. Mr. LEEPER was not only a pioneer of Lawrence, but also one of· the progressive and enterprising business men, being a contractor and builder for years, witnessing many changes in the building of the city, being always personally interested in its development. He served with the State militia in the Price raid and is a member of the I.O.O.F. In religion, Mr. and Mrs. LEEPER are identified with the First Baptist church of Lawrence. Vienna LEEPER was born in Indiana, January 22, 1832, daughter of Elijah VEACH, a Baptist minister for over sixty years and one of the pioneer ministers in Illinois, going to Bloomington in 1835 when it was a very small village. The VEATCH family are Scotch descent and trace their lineage to 1750, serving in the Revolutionary war and the war of 1812. Mr. and Mrs. Allen LEEPER were the parents of three children, the oldest, a daughter, dying in infancy, and Allen Whitney died when seven years of age soon after coming to Kansas. The remaining son, Charles Gilbert, was raised and educated in Lawrence. Married Miss Sadie V. DANNER of Louisville, Kentucky, in 1878. He was a resident of Topeka a number of years and died in 1891, leaving a wife and one son, Dorle. This son.of Mrs. S.V. LEEPER and only grandchild of Mr. and Mrs. Allen LEEPER, died last April in Topeka. In the declining years of this old couple the sweet of life has cast a mellowed light, the sweetness of life has come out and they are sitting today in the contentment, waiting for whatever change there is in store for them. Th~ir life has been a beautiful one, blended for sixty years, and is intertwined so that it is really but one life and with one hope. �~~ I~_~: ~6T'~-.: . JO«H1- '_ _ _ _ _ _ _ i 1 Lawrence Daily Journal, Feb. 21, 1907 CREEL KILLED Well Known Farmer Loses His Life in a Runaway Accident Near No. 6 School House. STEVE WILSON ALSO HURT Horses Scared by Team Coming Up Behind. CREEL DIED THIS MORNING Ira CREEL was killed by a runaway accident last night near No. 6 school house.''. Steve WILSON who was with him was also badly hurt, but will recover. The accident happened about 5:30 last night. The two men were taken to the home of S.M. REYNOLDS where they were given every attention. Medical aid was summoned from town and Mr. CREEL lived through the night. He died at 6:45 this morning. Mr. CREEL suffered severely during the night~ He was terribly bruised and mangled. Mr. WILSON was painfully h,urt but not seriously. Mr. CREEL was one of the best known farmers in this county. He was a good citizen, a man universally popular and his tragic death has caused widespread regret. Mr. WILSON was formerly a rural route carrier and is also well known. Mr. CREEL and Mr. WILSON were driving home from Lawrence and when near No. 6 school house a team unexpectedly came up behind them. The rat~. tling of the wagon frightened the CREEL team which was feeling on its mettle anyway and it at once became unmanageable. The two men had little chance for their lives against the thoroughly frightened team. It is not known exactly how they were thrown out, but it seems that in turning a corner, the wagon in which they were riding lunged to one side, throwing them out so hard that it inflicted the injuries that caused the death of Mr. CREEL. This terrible accident has shocked the friends of Mr. CREEL. He had lived practically all his life around Lone Star and his neighbors could hardly credit his untimely death. Mr. CREEL was a man about 43 years of age and leaves seven children, the youngest only a week old. He lived on the W.R. WILLIAMS farm. Friends who have investigated say that Mr. CREEL attempted to pull the horses into a hedge to stop them, but instead they turned in the opposite direction and threw the occupants out. Mr. CREEL hit a stone which inflicted the injury that caused his death. FUNERAL OF MR. CREEL The funeral serV1ces of Ira CREEL will be held Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the home near Pleasant Grove. Burial will be in Pleasant Grove Cemetery. *No. 6 school house is still standing at the corner of Iowa and 23rd Streets.

Gov. ROBINSON sold the south west 40 of his farm to a Mr. GILLETT. The GILLETT's were the parents of Mrs. C.W. BABCOCK. BABCOCK was a well known Lawrence citizen. I saw an article in the paper not many months ago which said Carrie BABCOCK was post master. I think it should have read Carmie BABCOCK. 7h~ GILLETT's lived on their farm for a few years. The place has changed owners a number of times, and of late years has been known as "Herds' Cornei." Near the northeast corner of the Robinson farm, but south of 'Mud Creek is a tenement house. This is where the Robinsons lived while their house on the hill, was being builtin the summer of 64. Mrs. ROBINSON spent part of the time in Massachusetts. The first family that I knew of living there after the - ROBINSON's into their new home was the COVEY family. . - - -'" moved They were a large family and five of the children attended the subscription school, Ki, Bill, Rena, Tom and Lincoln COVEY--Clay PURCELL, Gilbert, Jona Jr. and Anna MORGAN. There were about three colored FITCHUE chi ldren. I have forgotten their given names. Twelve pupils in all. The FITCHUE family I believe, south of- ----------------_._-------------the MILLER farm. - lived, -------- --_ ..... ~- . . - - , '- .. -----.--.------~ ~------- ..... , The COVEY's lived on the ROBINSON farm a few years, moved on '-to a place north of here. After a few years they moved to 'town, and for many years were well known citizens of North Lawrence. They were succeeded on the ROBINSON place by the Wiiliam CAMPBELL family. There were three grown daughters in the family, fine women and they all three passed away in just a few years, and the oldest son, Eli, wasn't long in following his sisters. There were five younger ones and four of them attended Oakridge in the early 70's. They lived on the place a few years. Many other families have come and gtine on that place but for some years Lawrence LEONHARD has lived,there. ' North of the 'R-OBINSON. farm and across the road is the James GILMORE farm-.~-Jain-e-s GILMORE married Julia HARMON, a welT known' teacher in the Oakridge school They settled on tB~irfarm in the middle or late 70's. They had three children. The heirs are still interested in the home place. ,Joilring the James GILMORE farm on the north is where Ed and Will YOUNG settled in the late 60's. They kept bachelors hall for a time. Ed YOUNG married and his wife, Lib YOUNG (as she was usually called) was a real help to the neighborhood.

The building in which the August HILDENBRAND general mercantile store was housed was known as the Leamer. store building, and was built during the War of the Rebellion by William LEAMER, a well known settler in the early days. The building was frame, and had been built, originally, of native lumber. It was never torn down and rebuilt; but through the years that have passed, constant repairs were made. In the old building William LEAMER ran his little country store for more than forty years. The Lee Hardward store which also suffered a heavy loss, occupied a second building which dates back to war times. Although the building was not injured by the flames, the stock, which had been carried out into the street by frantic workers, was damaged to the extent of about $1,000. Just back of the Iliff Mercantile company's double store, and only a few yards from the very center of the fire, is the United Brethren church, unhurt by the flames. The church stands on the site of the old territorial capital of Kansas-the scene of much excitement in the days of border warfare. The foundations of the old capital are still standing around the church as is a portion of the· foundation of Lane University, the United Brethren school, which stood on the site for years before it was torn down to make room for the church which stands there today. But it is to the old Rowena Hotel-the building used for a dormitory in the days of Lane University-that we turn for the object of greatest interest. Into this old building, the monument of the town and the reminder of old territorial times, the entire business district of Lecompton has been moved. Before the fire, the old hotel had stood empty for many years~save for the little office in an upstairs room of the Lecompton Sun. But when disaster clutched the village in its grip, practically every business building in the town was wiped out of existence. Into this old hotel then, the foodstuffs of the community were taken by the fire fighters; and Lecompton's population turns today for its meals to the stores temporarily established in the hotel. Before daylight on the night of the fire, R. Lemuel ILIFF rented the hotel for a temporary location for the Iliff Mercantile company. Later he sublet a room in the building to HILDENBRAND, his competitor. Another room was leased to Dr. C.C. KERR for his office, and a third to Mrs. Lula TODHUNTER, the postmistress.

Elniff �I-~~­ , 94 ,~' FIRST FLOUR MILL In Kansas Was Built by J.W. WILLEY Who Now Lives Near Here Out in the Blue Mound Picturesque District Mill Built in l857--Material for Building Brought From Indiana in Many Ways. The Sunday Topeka Capital contained an interesting account of the first flour mill in Kansas, said to have been started by J.W. WILLEY. Mr. WILLEY now lives here near Blue Mound. The story said in part: So far as is known, the first bolted flour made in Kansas was that manufactured in a mill at Blue Mound, seven miles southeast of Lawrence,. fifty years next autumn. John W. WILLEY, Sr., and his son, John W. WILLEY, Jr., the last named a present resident of Kansas City, Mo., built the mill. It was a combination institution being used for a saw mill in which material for the houses and other buildings of the early settlers and the bolted flour were made. Shingles also were rived out at the mill. The elder WILLEY and his son left Retreat, a little town on the Jeffersonville & Indianapolis railroad about Marc~ 1857, for Kansas. Twenty days later they landed in Wy.andotte and proceeding at once to Blue Mound, seven miles southeast of Lawrence, bought a claim and picked out a site for a mill on the Wakarusa creek. The location was on the farm then owned by Robert ERVIN. The father returned to Indiana and securing the machinery for the mill shipped it as far as possible by rail and then loaded it on a boat for Kansas City, where it landed some time in August. They hauled the equipment for the pioneer flouring mill overland from Kansas City to Blue Mound, hewed out timbers for a frame, erected a mill which was a combination saw mill and grist mill, sawed the lumber to board up the framework and began the manufacture of those two great essentials to the pioneer settlers, flour and building material. Some of the incidents of those times when the WILLEYS with their flouring mill were doing their part toward making of the new commonwealth are interesting. When they first came to Wyandotte, they procured a pony from a Methodist preacher, William BUTT,who lived at Quindaro. They took turns riding the pony. One would mount the pony and ride ahead to the summit of some hill, where he would dismount and walk along, the second one taking the pony and riding ahead as soon as he had come up with the animal. Thus they made the journey through what then was the Indian country. Among other things which they shipped with their machinery was a yoke of oxen. These patient animals were of the utmost value in the new .country. They were strong and patient--two qualities much needed in the hauling of logs and timbers. On Sunday the oxen were hitched to a wagon and trotted away bearing the family of their owner to religious worship. In breaking sod the oxen deserve great credit. Three yokes would pull a 20-inch plow through the virgin soil, leaving it ready for the planting of crops. The farm where this pioneer flouring mill was located is owned by James WILLEY and is said to be one of the most beautiful rural places in Douglas county. From Lawrence World, May 22, 1907 Submitted by Vivian CLOUGH, Clinton, Ks. �95 Lawrence Daily Journal, Sept. 6, 1881 DEATH OF J.W. WILLEY J.W. WILLEY, of Blue Mound, who in company with his wife, were thrown from a buggy on Sunday week, while returning from church', died on Sunday morning last at nine o'clock. Mr. WILLEY, for several days after the accident, supposed that he might recover, but .congestion of the brain supervening, he gradually showed signs of dissolution, until Sunday, when the, great change came. Mr. WILLEY came to Kansas in 1857, and had lived on the present homestead ever since. He had his golden wedding in December last. He has always been marked for great uprightness of character. He won the esteem of his neighbors and all who had any business or social intercourse with him, by a strict observance of the golden rule. He was seventy-three years old, and leaves nine children-five of whom only will be able to be present at his funeral, one of whom is J.W. WILLEY, of this city. The funeral will be held at Blue Mound to":day, and the procession will reach Oak Hill Cemetery about two o'clock. It is a singular coincidence that the father of Mr. WILLEY came to his death in a similar manner to his son, dying after suffering the same length of time. We are glad to know that Mrs. WILLEY, who has been enduring the pain of a dislocated shoulder, shows good reason for believing that she may recover.
