LIZZIE (HASKELL) FRENCH
Elizabeth Parker HASKELL FRENCH was born
in Weathersfield, Vermont in 1837. She came to
Kansas with her family in.April '1857, and was
one of the first school teachers in Lawrence.
She married Charles D. FRENCH on February::Z5,
1865. Following is the notice of her death
and funeral.
The Daily Tribune, Mar,ch 29, 1877
Death and Funeral of a Good Pioneer Lady.
The whole connnunity have heard with feel~.
irigs' of sorrow: of the ,death' :of Mrs .~"Elizabeth
P. FRENCH, who expired on the evening of
March 27th, 1877, of cancer.
Mrs. FRENCH was the only daughter of Mr.
Franklin HASKELL, one of the pioneer settlers
of 1854, coming to .Lawrence,we believe, with
LIZZIE (HASKELL) FRENCH,
the "Second Party" of New England Innnigrants,
~- '---~
and the sister of John G. and Dudley C. HASKELL, the 'latter our present member
of Congress. Miss HASKELL, the subject of this sketch, remained behind the·
family in New England, and came to Kansas in March, 1857. She was born at
Weathersfield, Vermont, on the 23dof April, 1836, and was therefore almost
forty-on~~ears old.
The family were among the most respected and useful of the early pioneers.
The father was a devoted Free State man, a just and upright citizen, and a
true Christian, his influence and example doing much to mould the charact.er
of the infant settlement at Lawrence. The mother, whose death preceded
that of the daughter but a few months, was truly a pioneer mother to all who
needed the good offices of a charitable, intelligent Christian woman.
Miss HASKELL was married to Mr. Charles D. FRENCH, at Springfield,
Mass., on the 25th day of February, 1865, where 'the mother and daughter were
visiting relatives during,that year. After marriage, they removed to
Leavenworth, residing there two years, and then coming to a home on the
well known Haskell homestead, adjoining Lawrence.
This excellent lady united with the Congregational church in her New
England home when a young girl, and has lived the life of a true Christian
woman. 'For several years she belonged to the choir of the Plymouth Congregational Church, the first organized church in Lawrence. She was one
of the:'pioneer teachers in the free schools of Lawrence, taking charge of a
school, more as a matter of duty in the days :when good teachers were
wanted, than from pecuniary motives, and those who'received the rudiments
of an educat.ion in the old Unitarian church on' the hillside will long
,
remember the amiable, kind-hearted teacher, whose devotion to her duties
laid deep the foundation of usefulness and virtue. Perhaps at that period,
'there could have been no person selected 'for such duties who was her
superior in every respect, as added to her innate goodness of heart, she
'had all the elements of a studious character and a finished education, having
been well educated in the best institutions of learning in New England. In
all the positions of neighbor, daughter, sister and wife she fulfilled well

�her part, and goes to rest with the pure in heart who pave the promise of
the Everlasting Blessing, ,revered, respected, and beloved as only the good
daughter, sister, wife and friend can be.. Among those who knew her, the
tear will come unbidden at the news of the death of one whose life has
been so blameless and so useful.
The last sad rites were performed at the residence of her bereaved
husband this afternoon,' at which Rev. Mr. SPRING, her last pastor, an'd
Rev. Dr. CORDLEY, so long the pastor of her church, gave the last ministrations to the memory of a beloved sister. A large concourse of sympathising friends attended the funeral, the following pall-bearers officiating:
Messrs. L. BULLENE, H.W. BAKER, Albert ALLEN, G. GROVENOR, O.A. HANS COMB ,
and S.A. RIGGS. All that remains of the good woman were laid in a pleasant
lot, beside the venerated father, mother and brother, but a few steps from
the door of the pioneer cabin where she and they had so long been known
for their kind hospitality in the, "times that:tried men's souls," to sleep
the last sleep of the good and the just.
"There shall the yew her sable branches spread,
And mournful cypress rear her fringed head;
From thence shall thyme and myrtle send perfume,
And laurel evergreen o'ershade the tomb."
The deceased was a long sufferer to the insidious disease which resulted
in death, being cancer of the breast. Nearly two years ago, she underwent
a surgical operation, and for a time believed that the cure was permanent.
Mrs. FRENCH leaves behind her a husband universally respected, and
three little children-a daughter and two sons-one of them an infant, too
young to have any appreciation of the loss of a mother,'to them the whole
community give their sympathy for the irreparable loss.
At the Quincy High School Reunion, June 1, 1882, fellow teacher Mary
BOUGHTON BROOKS said of Lizzie HASKELL (Western Home Journal, June 8, 1882):
"In answering to the name just called, I only need say, what every one
who knew her could truthfully say, that she was kind and loving in disposition, an intelligent and conscientious teacher, a faithful and devoted wife
and mother. What higher praise can be said of any?"
'
"Coming to the Territory when there were comparatively few young
ladies, her influence was always extended for the good of those with whom
she associated."
"Her first year in Kansas was spent with her father and mother, on a
" farm adjoining town."
"My first meeting with Miss HASKELL, was at a church social given at
the residence of Miss HALL, and my impressions of her then were that she was
a lady of culture and refinement, which future acquaintance fully confirmed."
"As a teacher she was successful, and her refining influence has no
doubt helped to mould the lives of some that are here to-day."
The following was written about her in the Western Home Journal,
April 5, 1877.
"She was a woman of great energy of character and of unusual sweetness
of disposition. Her attachments were strong, her circle of friends a wide
one, and her name a synonym of benevolence and goodness wherever she was
known. During the last few years she has been a great sufferer from the
terrible malady that finally terminated her life, but throughout it all
she has borne up with the most wonderful fortitude, furnishing a daily
example to friends and neighbors of patience under suffering and of the
triumph of a great spirit over the sorrows and distresses of failing
phYSical life." '
,
"The death of such a woman is-a public loss. She will be missed from
her family, from the church, from society at large. But her memory shall
be blessed. Her example shall live long in the community, and when the
grass shall have become green over her grave her name shall still be
held in sweet and sacred remembrance by those who loved her."

Miss Mira FITZ and her sister Emma, are still busy hauling lumber.
They have got through hauling brick and sand for their cistern, which a
great many people in this section of the country will find quite a
necessary article to have in these dry times. Miss Laura FITZ started
out to give music lessons, but had to return home on account sickness.
The old la-dy is in the best of health and is one of those wirey little
women that can go to see a sick neighbor at any and all times of day or
night; in fact, one that cannot be well spared in the community where
she lives. Mira takes up school at Stony Point school house· on Monday next.

ELLA LANE ADAMS
Ella LANE ADAMS was the eldest daughter of Sen. James H. and Mary E.
LANE. Following is her eulogy given by Mrs. Hannah FELT CLARKE at the
twenty-fifth reunion of the Quincy High School, June 1, 1882. It was published in the Western Home Journal, June 8, 1882 ~
:
More than twenty-two years ago I used to reach my school-room here on
some of those bleak mornings, when the wind pierced to the very marrow of
one's bones (as it often did in the winters of those pioneer days) to find
the house blue with smoke and the stove filled with green logs of ponderous
size and so watery that if Mr. DICK had been consulted as to the best mode
of getting a fire, I am positive he would have ordered, as a first necessity,
a thorough wringing out of the wood. But if"the chimney smoked, the north
breeze came in vigorously enough about the windows to render it unnecessary
to have other than such primitive modes of ventilation. On those days of
gloom I sometimes crossed the hall into Mr. ADAMS room here to see if it
was as dismal as 'in my own quarters, and to exchange those common place:
remarks about the weather, which I suppose have been made from the time
Adam so kindly furnished the apple he had not the courage to first taste;
and which will continue to be made until good conversationalists shall
exist more numerously than at present. It was at such times that I
observed a slight flaxen-haired girl of coquettish air, who flitted about
with easy grace among her school-mates, casting mischievous glances towards
'her teacher whose slightly frowning eyebrows did not deter her from her
ways of girlish frolicsomeness, and I thought it was not difficult than
to presume she might be "the favorite scholar."
Later in the summer of that year (1860) such predictions were verified;
for it was then that Ella LANE and Charles ADAMS were married, although Mrs.
ADAMS continued to remain at her home. When the war commenced, her husband-who later proved himself a brave and fearless officer, eager to fight as
well as to lead--Ieft her still at her father's house; and he was yet
absent when she buried her first lovely little girl of but seventeen
months; and again a few years later, she was bereft of still another of two
years. But slight as she was physically she bore her losses with great
fortitude (for she had been a loving mother) maintaining that same sprightly
and,:affectionate disposition which her early gi'rihood gave promise of. '
Married at the age of sixteen, she always seemed to enjoy life and made it
pleasant for those around her for the space of thirteen years afterward.
At the early age of twenty-nine her life here went out; but who can doubt,
but that in that world, of which we know so little and look forward to for
so much, she is waiting with the same old loving tenderness which characterized her life here, to welcome those dear friends she parted with, with such
heroic cheerfulness nine years ago.

DEATH OF MRS. ADAMS
The melancholy tidings of the death of Mrs. Ella LANE ADAMS, wife of
Col. C.W. ADAMS, briefly announced in the morning papers of yesterday, was'
received with the profoundest grief by a wide cirCle of affectionate friends
and admiring acquaintances. In all the relations of daughter, mother, sister,
wife and ,friend she was.faithful, devoted, gentle, self sacrificing and
affectionate. The fatal scourge, consumption, had fastened itself upon her
and despite travel and skillful treatment dragged her on to the final
catastrophe.
'

�Ella, eldest daughter of Jas. H. and Mary E. LANE,was born in
Lawrenceville, Indiana, in 1845, and at the early age of ten accompanied
her parents to their new home in Kansas, and with them shared to a great
degree the perils and privatations of pioneer life in the earliest days ..
In 1861 she was united·in wedlock to Col. C.W. ADAMS and subsequently
became the mother of. two children, soon to be transplanted from earth to.
bloom in the garden of God.
Some two years since, during the protracted revival in this city, she
became interested in religious matters, made a profession of faith and
joined the Methodist Episcopal church, of which she has since remained
a zealous, devoted and consistent member. Hers was a religion of practice
as well as precept. She was prominent in every good word, work and enter-:
prise. She was an ever present and active member of the Sunday school and.
was the promptest link in the "Golden Chain." The sincere sympathies of the
entire community are extended to her bereaved family and mourning frierids.
"There is no death! What seems so is transition,
This life is mortal breath;
Is but a suburb of the live elysium,
Whose portal we call death.

*****

In that greater cloister, stillness and seclusion,
By guardian angels led,
Safe from temptation, safe from sin's pollution,
She lives~ whom we call dead."
Flm,ERAL:-~l1e, G.er~monies attending the. funeral of Mrs. Col. ADAMS will take
place at the M~thodist church at two o'clock this afternoon.

Daily Kansas Tribune, Jan. 29, 1874
FUNERAL OF MRS. ADAMS
The funeral obsequies of this estimable lady were very generally
attended yesterday. The procession from the homestead reached the
Methodist church about half past two. The church was thronged, and
upon the remains entering the church an appropriate selection was sung by
the choir. Rev. W.K.MARSHALL read Scripture selections, and followed in:
fervent prayer that God would comfort the mourners. The choir then sang
"Lips I have kissed, ye are faded and cold." .Afterward remarks were made
by the Rev. J.K. DUNN and Mr. MARSHALL. The members of her class in the
Sunday school were present,to the number of thirteen. The coffin was of
black velvet with silver ornaments. The pall bearers were lady friends
of the deceased. There was a beautiful banner hanging in front of the
altar shrouded in black representing a "Golden Chain," to one end of which
was attached a cross, surmounted with a crown. The other end was attached
to a pillar labelled "Eternal Truth," with a Holy Bible resting on the top.
The center link of the chain.was broken out and could be seen held by a
shaddowy hand from among some clouds. Underneath was "Golden Chain" in
large letters.
After prayer by Rev. Mr. CORDLEY, the choir sung "Sister, thou wert
mild and lovely." And after the remains were viewed by the. friends, they .
were borne to the grave at Oak Hill cemetery where the usual ceremonies
attended the interment.
According to the 1874-75 Lawrence City Directory, James H. LANE lived
on the southeast corner of Illinois and Henry [8th street], and C.W.
ADAMS lived on the corner of Mississippi and Henry [8th street].

Fifty Years in Kansas
Mrs. Rebecca HARVEY, mother of the HARVEY boys, Sunday celebrated the

There was no attempt at any big dinner or anything of that nature, .. but a

HIS GRAVE UNMARKED.
Mr. NICHOLS' Wife Made Possible
,WamenVating at Schaal Electians
I t ,maybe af interest to. the ,people af Baldwin and vicinity, and
I
especially ta'thase interested. in, Kansas 'History, to. knaw that the remains
afthehusbandaf the woman whose influence put the sectian into. the
'I
state canstitution allawing wamen to vate at schaal elections, is buried,
in an unmarked grave ,but a shart distance fram Baldwin.
It was Mrs. NICHOLS who edited a newspaper at Quindara, Kansas, in
1860, thraugh whase influence at the Wyandotte Constitutianal Conventian,:
a convention called to. farm a canstitutian preparatary to. the admissian :
of the territory af Kansas to the unian as a state, the sect ian above
,!
mentioned was inserted. Mrs. NICHOLS afterward became nated as a lecturer
an woman's suffrage and at the Chicago. world's fair her statue adorned, !
the women's department of Kansas in recagnitian af her services in behaIr af the wamen of the state.
Befare Mrs. NICHOLS edited the Quindara newspaper, she lived with
her husband an a "claim" sauthwest af tawn,where her husband d:iled in
1856, and was buried only a few rads fram where the first railraad
bridge south af Baldwin naw is located.
Same time after the husband died Mrs. NICHOLS sold'her claim to. a
man who. is at present a resident of Baldwin, and requested him to haul
same rack and place on the lanely grave. The rack remained an the grave,
, which is lacated in a pasture, far a long time, but recently they have
been taken away presumably by persans nat knawing that those stanes marked
a grave, and were used, the writer supposes, in repairing the raad just
sauth of the place when the raad was made a part af a rural mail raute.
Mrs. NICHOLS has been dead a number of years.~BaldwinLedger.

Western Home Journal, August 23, 1883
HALF A MILLION!
OVER $500,000 Worth of Improvements in Lawrence.
THIS YEAR'S YIELD
A List of the New Buildings Erected in the City.
OUR BUSINESS BOOM
We present our readers herewith a list of new buildings commenced ,
and built during the present year, together with the location of each ana
the cost of construction. The cost has been in most cases estimated by :
the owners, or workmen engaged upon the construction. When not obtainabfe
in this way it has been estimated by the editors. As no building permits'
are required, and no list of new buildings kept by the city authorities ~n
this city it was an extremely difficult task to obtain the necessary dat~
for such a list and it was only obtained by the editors of the JOURNAL
after spending two days in riding over the city and noting the improveme~ts.
We have made as complete a list as possible but doubt not that some have i"
been omitted. The total valuation foots up to the vast sum of $500,975.00.
This added value alone assessed at the usual rate will.bring more than
enough additional taxes into ,our city treasury to pay the city's share ":
for the support of the proposed water works. These figures cannot but beI
most encouraging to all our citizens, and they will all be proud of the,
marvellous growth
of our city, which far exceeds any it has before enjoyed,
.
I
even in the flushest times of years gone by. This amount includes only ,
new buildings and does not have reference to improvements in the way of ~
additions to buildings and dwellings, stables and other improvements,
the value of which would undoubtedly foot up to over two hundred thousand
dollars more.
The following is the list arranged according to locating:

QUINCY HIGH SCHOOL REUNION
LAWRENCE, KANSAS
JUNE 1, 1882
Continued from Vol. X, No. 2
The second term was opened by the school singing "Oh Come, Come Away."
At this term only the new names added to the roll were called.
Irene GUEST--responded to by a eulogy from Mrs. DaLEE.
Helen MESSENGER--was answered for by James FAXON.
Mary COLBURN (HARRINGTON) answered for by C.L. EDWARDS.
Susie PEARSON, now in Oregon.
Hattie GUEST (SMITH) and Mary JONES, answered for by John ROSS.
Annie FULLER, (RIGGS)--said present, and the teacher proposed to make
her read her first composition, which he had there, printed in her own hand,
because she did not make a longer speech.
Mary BROWN (WHITMAN) was present, but had been excused for a few minutes.
Clara FALLEY--deceased.
Lucy BURNS deceased.
Mary BURNS--was next called.
Alf. GUEST, absent.
W.H. LAMON--said, "Please, sir, can I speak," holding up his hand. He
said the teacher had forbidden him to speak without permission, and was glad
to know, that now, after twenty-five years' silence he could speak. He read
a new composition as follows:
THE QUINCY HIGH SCHOOL REUNION.
How the memory is freighted with the recollections of boyhood and girlhood days! Lawrence and vicinity is, and has been the homes of many, and
yet how the old "flock" have scattered. From Nova Scotia to California,
from Florida to Dakota, and from Lake Superior to the Rio Grande, at rollcall today in thought if not in word will come the answer--Present!
And then the thought of the dear ones, boys and girls, who, before the
battle of life was half fought, at the very threshhold of a life of promise,
were claimed by the Great Conquerer for his own and calmly and peacefully
laid aside the cares and toils of life.
Among those numbered with the dead, are three of our instructors: S.M.
THORP, our principal, ~ho fell a victim in the Quantril butchery; Miss WILDER
and Miss HASKELL, two as noble women as ever lived. But Miss WILDER especially
do I remember and love to think about, as the most lovable, kind-hearted, ,
gentle, affectionate, without a fault, and without an enemy, with a pleasant
smile and a kind word for everyone. Words are too weak to express a tribute
worthy of her memory. The recollections of such a woman will always remain
precious, and then those old attachments and preferences, that sometimes
ripened into a strong freindship, and in a few instances a mutual affection,
that culminated in union for life:--of
"Two souls with but a single thought
Two hearts that beat as one."
About the same number of boys and girls have sternly resisted all the
assaults of cupid's darts and are to-day living in the enjoyment of single
blessedness, but by far the larger number have become the parents of doting
children, who will one day rise up to call them blessed.
It may be regarded as a foolish vanity, but it is with pride that we
point to the statesmen, scholars, divines, heroes, doctors, poets, legislators,
whose fiery eloquence has resounded from the halls of our state and national
capitols; soldiers that have given their lives for a nation's honor; such and
their like have gone forth from this hall of learning a credit
their

instructors and an honor to the institution.
Twenty-five years! What a change it has wrought. Raven locks then,
are now silvered with gray--faces that were then flushed and rosy are now
furrowed by labor and care.
Let us all cherish the memory of those blessed school days
"When all youth's hopes and promises,
Those rainbows of our skies,
Danced fourth in fairy visions
Before our wandering eyes,"
with their actors and events, more and more as the years roll on, and when
at last the greatest of earthly Teachers, shall, on the great reunion day call
the roll from the Book of Life, may we all be there to answer present, and
together be permitted to enjoy the great supper of the Lamb and spend an
eternity of bliss together.

Samuel LAMON--deceased.
James M. ELDRIDGE--eulogy by John ROSS.
David PURINTON, absent.
This closed the second term. The winter term commenced in November 1857.
Henry J. MUNSON and John STILL were accounted for by the teacher.
Charlie BROWN--was responded to in a brief eulogy from his sister Miss
Sarah BROWN.
Russel WHITMAN--in respose to his name Miss BROWN read the following:
OAKLAND, Cal., May 23, 1882.
Here, and such a time as I have had to get in on time, 'twas only to-day
I heard you were all coming together, and wanted to have everyone that could,
respond to their names at roll call.
I can honestly say here I am, and w~sh
in my heart I might say, there I will be, to look again into the kindly faces
that I know I should find among you.
Today I have been recalling those long
ago days and familiar faces.' I seem to see only about a dozen boys and
girls of those I really knew and could call familiarly by their given names.
I am pretty sure I see George, Lyman, Frank, James, Henry, John, Harry and
William, the two Mary's, Alice, Lou, Clara, Miss BOUGHTON, Miss BROWN and
Mr. EDWARDS. I find myself wondering what ever became of Munson and John and
Mary and Martha, are they still living. Abram and Mary~ealized their school
day dreams, are married and living near me in this beautiful sunset city.
We may have our reunion here.
How indelibly all the experiences, faces, and familiar places are
impressed on the youthful mind! they can never be entirely effaced while
memory lasts. I see you in the old rooms, find, my place among the seats,
wander into the recitation room, where I banged young DOW over the head with
my book because he bothered me one day while reciting, over twenty years
ago now, and Miss BOUGHTON walked me "right away out" not to return till I
apologized, which I did, and I believe she kissed me, but you needn't tell
Paul BROOKS. And the place where my particular admiration sat; oh yes,
some of the boys beside myself can remember that seat and the bright beautiful
face that filled it, long since gone to be at rest with the blessed. Let us
always remember just how it was with ourselves, while we have the guiding
and sympathizing to do with our boys and girls. Ohl what doI say? Our own,
yes, surely God has blessed us all and we may count treasures he has entrusted to our care, since the days when we were boys and girls together.
If some one would read HOLMES' poem "The Boys," it would express my sentiments
as I look in on you tonight.

�184
Quincy High School Reunion continued
I said, I had "such a time getting here promptly." Well, I did;
you see, I may as well say it, as long as we are all friends, it was that
blessed baby, came near preventing me, and if my style and manner of communi~
cation is a little mixed, you can excuse it, when you know that while my
hands have been shaking yours figuratively, my feet have been, actua11y,~
rocking the cradle, to think that I should ever be called on to rock a redheaded youth of my own, is certainly very trying, the mother says it is not
so, but I fear the worse. I ought not to have this job on my hands, I
know, but I undertook it because I thought his grandma and nurse did not
quite understand how to soothe and quiet him, so I undertook to show them,
wish I hadn't, hope I may be forgiven. "Is it my first?" oh no, but some
men never get over thinking that they know it all; there lies one other
beautiful boy in the other room, you would see at once that as he has
demanded time for his evening romp, by the time I get this other job off my
hands it has made it pretty lively for me to get in on time.
But all joking aside, friends of my youth, my heart goes out to you,
and the old familiar scenes in Kansas. My last school days were spent in
the room where you now are. In your midst I passed through fire, famine;
and flood, learned my mechanical art, and was started on life's journey.
To those who held a directing influence over my life then, I owe many thanks.
I wish I had repaid them better then. There is one sweet spirit now departed
who won all hearts to her, who I am sure has received her reward from the
Master for her faithfulness and care for the souls that came within her sphere.
You cannot all be as deeply touched as I am at this reuriion,for as ,I
sit so far away in the quiet solitude of my chamber, in the lone watches 'of
the night, on this western shore, all these memories troop before me like,
the changes of a panorama, gay and sad, while your pleasure is that of
personal contact, and enhanced by the magnetism of the senses. still we
shall enjoy it, each in their own way.
May God bless you, dear companions, and your little ones; may they be
brought up in the fear and·. admoni tion of the Lord, and above all things show
them the way, lead them in paths of righteousness, that they may be brought
into the way of heavenly blessings as you have. I send you greeting.
Yours Truly,
RUSSELL WHITMAN.

John DONNELLY was answered for by the following letter, also read by
Miss BROWN:
C.L. EDWARDS, Lawrence, Kansas:
MY DEAR SIR:--It is with great pride that I am enabled to acknowledge
the receipt of your very kind note to attend the reunion of those who were
students at school in Lawrence during the time intervening between the years
1857 and 1863.
All and the only education it has been my good fortune to receive, was
gained when I was comparatively at manhood.
Please believe me, sir, when I say that my heart and sympathy in the
cause of education is ever with you.
I am your friend,
JOHN DONNELLY.

Edward BELLOWS (son of Rev. Dr. BELLOWS in New York), died in Texas.
James P. WOOD, deceased.
Levi B. ANDERSON was responded to by W.H. LAMON, with the following
eulogy:

�185

Quincy High School Reunion continued
"L.B. ANDERSON was one of our oldest scholars. His early education had
been much neglected, but he was a ready learner and made study his business,
and was soon the foremost in his class, which position he easily held. He
was a bright thinker and ready writer. His was a kindly disposition; always
ready and willing to help his classmates in their studies. Little is known
of his after life only that he emigrated to the Golden State, where he died."

Arthur LORING, answered for by James FAXON.
Wm. MOYES, was eulogized by W.H. LAMON as follows:
Wm. MOYES was a native of England. His parents immigrated to America
when he was a child, and located in Illinois. He came to Kansas in 1857.
At the beginning of the war, he enlisted in capt. SWIFT's Company, Kansas
First Regiment, and was wounded in the memorable battle of Wilson's Creek.
Returned to his regiment the following spring, and with it went to
Tennessee, but was soon afterwards honorably discharged.
In 1863 he went to Colorado for the benefit of his health and was in
Denver at the time of QUANTRIL's raid.
Died Nov. 5, 1869, aged thirty years. He had been sick a few days
of pneumonia, but the real cause of his death was his old wound through the
body received while in the army.

Osbun SHANNON--absent.
Frankie MILLER, (FARNSWORTH)--answered for by H.T. ROSS.
Mary GRIFFITH, (WHITCOMB)--was reported by Mrs. Dr. PRENTISS.
Louisa PRENTISS (SIMPSON)--present.
Dacy RICHARDS--reported deceased.
Darlisca RICHARDS (PENCHARD)--present.
Clara OLDHAM (KNOX)--answered for by James FAXON.
Aurelia ALFORD--answered for by the teacher.
Kate DINSMOOR--reported by her brother Frank DINSMOOR. She was burned
to death by a prairie fire.
Will BULLENE, answered present.
Neill DONNELLY, absent.
John O. DUNCAN reported in Black Hills.
Geo. GOSS, reported in Osage county.
Wm. MARTIN, was reported by James FAXON, who read the following let~er:
Colorado City, Tex.,
May 26, 1882
Mr. C.L. EDWARDS, Miss S.A. BROWN and others, Lawrence, Kansas.
Greeting:--Since the sterner duties of life deny to me the pleasure 'of
being with you at the time indicated in the notice of reunion. I shall venture
to avail myself of the only method left me, to extend you my best wishes for
the success of the reunion of our old school. When I saw your invitation;
so kindly sent me, there came welling up into my heart and mind a thousand
memories of the times and scenes of long ago, and now whilst I try to exte:nd
to you my heartfelt greeting on this your quarter-centennial anniversary
there passes in review before my mind's eye the humble little town of Lawrence,
as it appeared in 1855, a mere speck as it were, on "civi1ization's utmost:
verge," struggling for a respectable position among the towns and cities
then springing up into notice along the banks of the great tributary of the
West. Associated with you as teacher and pupil, under your guidance I first
felt the inspirations of manhood, and it was during the years that I had
the benefit of your tutelage, that I first began to put into definite shape
the teachings with which you so carefully loaded my boyish mind. When I look
back through the retrospect of past events and see my comrades and friends as

�186
Quincy High School Reunion continued
we then stood gathered within the kindly sound of your voices, methinks I
live again in the past. But when I reflect upon the proud position to which
your city, and justly in part to your efforts have attained: remembering
too, the troublous times the bad men and measures we have lived through,. I
concluded that it is by far better that it is as we now find it, letting
the dead past bury its dead, uniting our efforts with them who are left,
in building up the waste places. For one I shall always point with pride
and sincere respect to my old school room and remember with feelings, akin
to veneration those who first tried to teach me there.
The name of Lawrence, and my old associates, will be dear to me as
long as life remains. Again, wishing for you all the success you so richly
deserve I remain,
Very Respectfully,
WM. MARTIN.

Geo. H. PERRY, deceased.
Ernest and Henry SOLOMON,--answered for by W.L. BULLENE.
Frank DINSMOOR said he belonged to the infant class of the old school,
and could remember but little of it. He did remember of the teacher coming
into the primary department and whipping a scholar one day, and it was well
done.
Mr. EDWARDS said that on account of DINSMOOR's age he should have to
forgive him for his error, but said that in all his teaching in Kansas he
never struck a scholar a blow--Miss BROWN did the whipping on that occasion,
and his recollection was that she did it well.
LAMON said if the teacher did not whip, he knew how to pull hair.
Mary SPEER (NEFF), Fanny ROSS (BANGS), and Mary SUTHERLAND (PICKETT),
responded to their names.
Sybil A. DUNCAN (RAY),--absent
Anna DINSMOOR,- deceased.
Flora HUTCHINSON--responded to by Mrs. George BANKS, who read the f9 l lowing letter:
I

Washington, D.C.
922 O. St., N.W., May 26, '82.
C.L. EDWARDS:
Dear Friend:--I feel impelled to write and tell you how deeply I regret
not being able to be present, and to assure you that in spirit I shall surely
be with you all. I envy the birds their wings that I might soar away and,
away, until I should be among you.
Since your invitation came, I have scarcely been able to control my ,
thought, they have been crowded so full of olden memories, and I have lived
over again, many of the happy days gone by, when our greatest sorrow was
having to submit to the higher powers, a cross though light, very far from
gracefully borne, heavy it looked to us then, and all that mortal could be~r,
but could the veil which hid the future, suddenly have been lifted, would
not some of our hearts have been broken? "Wisely for us, behind the sable'
veil ot" night, God hides the future."
So you are to meet in the old school room. How plainly I can see it
now, and I .think I could seat nearly every pupil, and I shall never forget·
how proud I felt when I became one of the number to take a "front seat."
There is a kind of sacred feeling in my heart for the old room and its
associations, and though my children will never gaze upon the spot, I shal~
take one more look at it myself when I visit Lawrence this fall. By the way,
considering what I am, not a Jumbo exactly, but fully as great a curiosity
in my way i.e. an "old maid," I almost wonder you did not wait until I

�187
Quincy High School Reunion continued
came, and how I wish you had! Your invitation asks those who cannot be
present to write something for the occasion, but I, for one, feel as though
such things would be somewhat tiresome, unless someone had the gift of pen
picturing which I have not, so I have asked a friend to take a bouquet in my
name, and let the flowers speak for me.
.
Though I trust the reunion will be one of pleasure to all still a
feeling of sadness will creep through my mind when thoughts of those who
have crossed the river come to you, as come they will, for "there is no flock
however watched and tended, but one dead lamb is there," and out of our
flock several have been taken.
But this is no time for tears, and they will come i f I think in that
direction much longer.
Please write soon and tell me all about the merry making. I shall be
so anxious to hear.
I hope they may be as boys and girls together again, for a few short
hours, throwing aside care and trouble and forgetting the years that have
intervened.

Ruth COLLIER, (JONES) present.
Frances COLLIER, (WATT) present.
Eben CROCKER, present.
Osgood A. COLEMAN, was answered for by John ROSS.
Lucy PATTERSON (CLARK) present.
Hattie ANDERSON, (ELLIOT) present.
Kate BULLENE, (GAY) was answered by W.L. BULLENE.
SPRING TERM, 1868. [1858]
Mrs. Sarah A. SMITH was answered for by the teacher
Clara ARCHIBALD was responded to by Miss BROWN who read the following
letter.
Dear Mr. EDWARDS:
Your invitation to attend the quarter-centennial reunion and picnic of
the teachers and scholars of the Lawrence schools to be held in the school- .
room of the Unitarian church on the 1st of June is received, and there is
nothing I would like so much as to be with you and meet my teachers and I
the scholars with whom I was so pleasantly associated in the old school
days, but it is impossible and in compliance with request I send a letter.
You ask for "reminiscences." It was in the spring of 1859, I think,
when I first entered your school. One of my earliest and most pleasant
remembrances is hearing the big boys speak their "pieces" at the Friday
afternoon rhetorical exerci~es.
The exercises of one Friday afternoon
I
especially lingers in my memory, perhaps because I was more than usually,
pleased with at least two of the recitations. The speakers were John
ROSS and a boy we called Dudley HASKELL.
The latter declaimed Spartacus'
speech to the Gladiators. We youngsters, on the front seats, little
thought then that we were listening to the future member of Congress, who
so ably and honorably represents our state in Washington, and of whom
Kansas, and especially his own people of Lawrence, are so deservedly
proud. I forget what was the subject of John ROSS declamation, but him
I remember very well, also another of the "big boys" whose name is on
the printed invitation, "will LAMON." Whether Mr. ROSS or Mr. LAMON
have acquired titles, in all these years, and ought to be dignified with
a prefix of Hon., Judge or Colonel to their names, I do not know. I have'
forgotten whether "Jimmie FAXON" attended your school or not, but I know I

�r - 188,
_ _ __I
~

Quincy High School Reunion continued
that he as well as myself, were members of Mr. THORP's school. The name of
this excellent and well beloved teacher calls up one of the very saddest,
memories that the troublous times of. Kansas afford, as well as that of his
first assistant teacher, Mrs. CARPENTER, who~e husband was also murderedlby
QUANTRELL on that never-to-be-forgotten" August day. And so the memories 'are
not all pleasant. The roll call will not be responded to by many who were
with us in those old days. Miss Lucy WILDER, your chief assistant is
another wbose presence among you will be missed. I remember her better than
any of the other teachers who were connected with you in the management of
the schools, for I was in her classes. I used to be just a little bit
afraid of you, Mr. EDWARDS, though I should not be now, I'm sure.
You ask that names be reported to you so that the roll may be complete.
My brothers, F.W. and C.P. ARCHIBALD, attended school in the old church
during the years mentioned. They were neither of them in your department
in those early days, but were with Mrs. SUTLIFF, Miss HOLLISTER, I think {ler
name was then.
I do sincerely wish that I could be present at your reunion and ban~
quet, but as this is not possible, I send these few thoughts with my "counterfeit presentment" to represent me.
Though I have been absent from Kansas and Lawrence so long, I have
not forgotten nor lost my affection for the place or the people, and am
proud and happy to consider myself one of you still.
with the most hearty good will to all present, and kind regards to
those who remember me, I am, yours, very truly,
CLARA M. ARCHIBALD.

Augusta LONGFELLOW (DUNN) was answered for by her brother.
Lizzie COLTON (WRIGHT) was responded to by Mrs. A. MARKS, who read the
following letter:
Suffield, Conn., May 29, 1882.
Mr. C.L. EDWARDS.
Dear Sir:--I have just received from my sister, Mrs. J.G. SEEWIR, a ,
note wishing me to attend the reunion of teachers and pupils, to be held in
your city, June 1st. I regret exceedingly that it will be impossible for
me to be present, but rest assured, in spirit I shall be with you. I
attended school in Lawrence from the spring of 1858 to that of 1872, under
the teachings of yourself, Miss Lucy WILDER, Miss HOLLISTER (now Mrs.
SUTLIFF I believe) Miss Lizzie HASKELL, Miss BARBER, Mr. Charles and Mr.
Frank ADAMS and Mr. THORPE. How often have I wished during the latter
,.
years when thinking of old times, that I was once again a child in the old
school-room under the church; although during school life we have our
little trials. I used to think so, especially when I was delinquent in
bringing in my composition sometimes, and you would send me home to write
it. I remember one Monday morning Lou PRENTISS and I both came without
one and you asked our reasons for so doing; after hearing them you reminded
us of the rule in regard to such disobedience. We took our hats and
writing materials and went up on Mount Oread in the basement of the
present university. I have forgotten about the compositions but I know
we spent a most delightful morning. In the winter when there was snow
enough, how we did enjoy sliding down Mount Oread. Memory often goes
back to those old days and I seem to see before me the well remembered
faces of Josie, Allie and Emma ELDRIDGE, Mollie and Emma JENKINS, Mary
ANDERSON, Annie FULLER, Emma and Nellie ENOS, Susie FAXON, Martha and
Will LAMON, Jimmie FAXON, JOhn and Henry ROSS, Lyman PRENTISS and many,
-many others. But I fear I am occupying too much'of your time. wi th a'
.kindly. and affectionate greeting to all present and dropping a tear for
those who have passed to the other shore, I remain your old pupil,
MRS. M. LIZZIE COLTON (WRIGHT).

.

\

Mrs. Paul R. BROOKS
Mrs. BROOKS, before her marriage was ~iss
Mary Angeline BOUGHTON •. She was born June I 13,
1837, in Cayuga county, N.Y., the daughterlof
of the Rev. Alanson BOUGHTON, a Baptist minister,
and Mrs. Hannah SQUIRES BOUGHTON.
'
Miss BOUGHTON came to Kansas in 1847 [1857]
wi.th··a:.married .sister~ 'The'sister and ·:her~·!.family
soon returned to their old home. Not so t~e
stout-hearted pioneer, Mary BOUGHTON. She'
stayed and soon was teaching in the early school
in the basement of the old Unitarian church!.
The year after her arrival in Lawrence on October 3, 1858, she was marrie;d to
Paul R. BROOKS. The wedding was one of great interest and has often been;
described. It was the first church wedding in Lawrence and took place at; the
old Methodist church at 724 Vermont street.
~
Mr. BROOKS came to Lawrence in 1854 and took a prominent part in all! the
affairs of the new town. He continued almost to the end of his days active
in official and business life. He died December 17, 1916.
i
From the time of their marriage until Mr. BROOKS' death, Mr. and Mrs~
BROOKS were leaders in the civic and social life of Lawrence. Their home~
at first the small house of the pioneers, soon, in the '60s, their. spacious
I
and beautiful home on the slope of Mt. Oread, was one of the centres of i
generous, joyous hospitality. Mr. and Mrs. BROOKS had no children of the~r
own but they loved the young. A younger sister of Mrs. BROOKS almost as !
soon as the University opened and a nephew of Mr. BROOKS, a few years late~r,
were sent for from other states to make their home with them, and to be
,
educated to splendid manhood and womanhood in the University. This sister
and nephew both delight· to give to those dear relatives the credit for all:
they have attained through their university education.
:
. Mr. ·. and Mrs .. BROOKS also opened their home, when commodious homes wer~
fewer than now, to University student roomers. Music and books, good
company and good cheer, and the warm friendliness of their host and hostess
made life-long friendships between hosts and guests.
In recent years Mrs. BROOKS has enjoyed cordial relations with the
fraternity, Beta Theta Pi, whose house was the home of her old neighbors,
Judge John P. USHER and family, and invitations from the Betas and roses
from Mrs. BROOKS frequently passed forth between the two.
Mrs. BROOKS was large-hearted, a woman of broad'interests, one who
made many friends and kept them through life, one whose membership was
sought in all kinds of organizations. She lived full of activities to the,
\

�',191

end. She kept up her large house and her extensive greenhouses, living
among the flowers she loved, selling them and distributing them lavishiy'
as gifts.
,
On the morning of December 30, 1926, having gone to bed in her usuat
health the night before, she was found peacefully sleeping the last sleep.
There was 'no indication that her passing had been attended by the slight~st
agitation. Thus another book of ' the homes of Lawrence was closed. The
house will pass to stranger, but for the life lived in it, the life of
Lawrence will always be better and happier.
Following is more information taken from her obituary in the Lawrence
Daily Journal-World, December 30, 1926:
:
Although Mr. and Mrs. BROOKS were absent from town at the time of the
Quantrill raid,' their material possessions suffered. Coming':to Lawrence:
with. the free state men in 1854 as a lad of twenty, Mr. BROOKS was devoted
I
wholeheartedly to the free state cause and was marked for slaughter by I
the pro-slavery forces. His house in Lawrence was the first to which th~
torch was applied. His store was burned in the first raid on Lawrence
in 1856.
The location of Mr. BROOKS' store is marked by a stone placed near
the office of the Underwood company on north Massachusetts st. The stor~
was an open log cabin.
At the time Territorial Governor 'Robert J. WALKER marched against
Lawrence with 1,500 troops, Mr. BROOKS was a member of the city council. :
The troops were camped west of town for several weeks. The free state
council defied the governor and his forces and continued its program
which had aroused antagonism.
Since the death of Mr. BROOKS, Mrs. BROOKS had continued the busine~s
of her greenhouse and had retained her vigor and her interest in all
affairs in a remarkable way.
The funeral of Mrs. BROOKS wilL be held at the home at' 2 0' clock
Friday afternoon. Dr. John F.WATTS will have charge of the services.

MRS. WILLIAM BROWN
Jane SHIELDS was born at Banbridge, county Down, Ireland, March 1,
1840. She was the daughter of James SHIELDS and Mary BARR SHIELDS. The l
SHIELDS came to Wisconsin and settled at Sharon, where Jane SHIELDS was:
married to William BROWN, January 8, 1859. The young. couple came at onc~
to Kansas and settled in Douglas county. Here Mrs. BROWN passed through' .
all the experiences of the pioneer women, hard work, privation, isolatio~
and peril.
Mr.·BROWN was engaged in dairying near Lawrence. In the 60's the ,
BROWNS bought the beautiful farm southwest of the University, where they:
both spent their remaining years. On this farm, Mr. BROWN built and
I
operated the first grist mill in this part of the country to be run by
steam.
:
In Quantrill's raid the retreat of the raiders led them past Pleasant
View farm. Mr. BROWN set out to join whatever defensive organization mikht
be found .. Mrs. BROWN hid with her children in a cornfield. Two differeht
.
I
squads of the ruffians stopped and set fire to the house. Both times Mrs •
. BROWN 'left her hiding and put out the fire, in spite of threats of death'
if she did so. Then came three raiders dragging a colored man and dis_I
cussing how they shou~d kill him. Mrs. BROWN seized an old, useless
revolver and threatened to shoot the first ruffian who should lay hands
on the negro. And she effected his escape.
:
Mrs. BROWN was a woman of strong character, generous, and courageou$
as her actions at the time of the raid showed. She stood for the best I
things in life. She was devoted to home and church and had a warm heart!
and a helping hand for all her neighbors and friends. She was a true ty~e
of the pioneer, brave,resourceful, lavish in giving of her strength and i
her store.
Her life closed March 4, 1927. On the following Sunday scores of
friends from town and country gathered at her beautiful home place,
Pleasant View Farm,topayher the last tribute of respect and. love.
Mr. BROWN died November 10, 1918.
Mrs. BROWN lost out of ' her home by death a beloved daughter, Emma
A. BROWN,' less than a year before her own death. Her surviving children
are: Thomas R. BROWN, Elmer F. BROWN,W~llard BROWN, all living at
Lawrence.
