�DIARY OF JOHN WALBORN BATDORF
This is the diary of John Walborn BATDORF. It covers the time of Sept. 1864
to March 1865 while he was in the Union Army. The original_~~Jongs to Lois
EVERSMEYER, of Douglas County, Kansas. John W. BATDORF was her great grandfather.
A sincere thanks to Lois EVERSMEYER for sharing this diary with us. A special
thanks also to my sister and her friend for helping me with this project.
All spelling and punctuation was copied as it was written in the diary. If
there are any mistakes, I am sorry because the writing was sometimes difficult to
read.
Transcribed and submitted by Carol-WHITSON, 2731 Rawhide, Lawrence, KS
66046.

The following article is from. the Wellsville, Kansas Bicentennial Book 17761976. It tells about Mr. BATDORF and family and the map shows the place where they
settled.

John Walborn BATDORF was born in 1830 in Berks
County, Pa. Two years later his parents moved to
Champaign County, Ohio where he grew to manhood. In 1852,
he drove an ox team across the plains and mountains to
California. Three years later he returned and settled in
Iowa. He married Charlotte WERTZ of Tipton, Iowa in 1857.
He served in the 11th Iowa Volunteer infantry in 1862,
was in the battle of Shiloh, later marched with Sherman
from Atlanta to the sea and to Washington City where he
was discharged at the end of the Civil War.
In 1868, John and Charlotte BATDORF moved with
their three children, Emma (HARRISON), Mary Elizabeth
(WATSON) and Will by covered wagon to Kansas. They
homesteaded on a farm 3 1/2 miles southeast of Wellsville
in the Salem Hall school district where they raised
cattle and farmed. Two more children, Dave and Cora
(BARNETT), were born to them there.

FITCH FAMILY LETTERS AVAILABLE AT THE WATKINS COMMUNITY MUSEUM
The March-April 1989 issue of the IIDouglas County Historical Society
Newsletter ll tells us that in 1979, the great grandson of Edward and Sarah FITCH,
Robert FITCH of Omaha, Nebraska, donated copies of fifty-five FITCH family letters
to the Watkins community museum. A pamphlet containing these letters will be
available for purchase at the museum. In addition, Roger FITCH later donated
copies of one hundred letters from a FITCH family relative in Massachusetts, which
may be viewed at the museum.
Edward FITCH came to Kansas in 1864 as one of the New England abolitionists
who were determined to hold Kansas as a free territory. His letters home told of
every day existence and of the alarms and dangers of border warfare during this
period of crossborder raids between Kansas and Missouri. Edward was a
schoolteacher for a while, then farmed on the outskirts of Lawrence, then moved
back to town and worked in his father-in-law's bookstore. He was shot by
Quantrill's raiders in his home in front of his wife and children, August 21,
1863. Sarah FITCH's letters to Edward's family, dated shortly after the raid, gave
a graphic account of that horrifying event.

�IN THE MATTER OF THE PETITION OF JOHN N.O.P. WOOD
The following claim appears in "Kansas Claims," Volume 2 of Reports of the U.S.
House of Representatives, 36th Congress, 2nd Session. The volume may be found at
the Spencer Research Library at the University of Kansas, Lawrence, their call
number 1107. Researched by the editor.
No. 436.
In the matter of the petition of John N.O.P. WOOD.
Douglas County, ss:
John N.O.P. WOOD, the above-named petitioner, being duly sworn, saith: I
have sustained loss and damage by the taking and destruction of property during
the disorder which prevailed in this Territory from November 1, 1855, till
December 1, 1856; a just and true account is set forth in the petition and
testimony now on file in this case; for which loss and damage I claim
compensation. under the provisions of an act passed February 7, 1859, entitled "An
act to provide for the adjustment and payment of claims."
Deponent further saith that during the fall of 1856, a large number of
prisoners, commonly known and called free-State men, were arrested and held in
custody of the existing civil and military authorities in Lecompton, in said
Territory, during several months, a list of the names of which, together with the
periods during which they were confined, as near as deponent ascertained or
recollects, is as follows: all of said prisoners, viz: 109, were captured by the
United States troops. by direction of Deputy United States Marshal CRAMER,
pursuant to the order and authority of Governor GEARY, immediately after the
battle of Hickory Point. Some of said prisoners were indicted for murder, others
for various offences. all growing, as deponent believes, directly or indirectly
out of the civil war that had then been prevailing in Kansas; said prisoners were
virtually and in fact prisoners of war. The civil authority was subverted; the
civil authorities were destitute of means wherewith to supply the wants and '
necessities of prisoners; there were no funds in the territorial treasury to pay
expenses of keeping these prisoners; the United States troops, who served as a
"posse comitatus" to aid in arresting said prisoners, refused to provide for them
from the United States quartermaster's or any other department; the United States
marshal declared that he was only acting in aid of the civil authorities of the
Territory. On the organization of Captain DONALDSON's and Captain WALLIS's
companies of militia, mustered into the service of the United States in September
or October, 1856, said prisoners were turned over to said companies to be guarded
and protected. Said two military companies were supplied with their rations by the
officer in command of United States troops then stationed at Lecompton, but no
supplies were furnished the prisoners. Deponent further saith that at the time
said United States troops refused to provide for said prisoners, he, deponent,
had. in the city of Lecompton. a large stock of provisions, groceries, and
miscellaneous goods and items, such as charged in the schedule attached to
deponent's petition, of the aggregate amount of about $10,000. Deponent then
resided in Lecompton, and was engaged in dry goods and grocery business; all said
goods and property were the sole and absolute property of deponent. About this
time deponent was applied to by the United States marshal to furnish all necessary
rations for said prisoners, as it was not possible that they should be left to
star~e; no other person or persons in Lecompton or vicinity were prepared to
furnlsh at that time adequate supplies for said prisoners; about the same time
Governor GEARY, ex-officio commander-in-chief of the territorial militia, also
requested deponent to furnish said supplies and rations; to do the best that could
9

�be done for the comfort and convenience of the prisoners, and to deal out all such
rations and supplies as might be necessary from time to time for said prisoners;
deponent then and there, considering the unsettled and uncertain cond~tion.of
affairs in the Territory, the danger of a renewal of warfare, that sald prlsoners,
as free-State men, were actually prisoners of war in custody of their opponents;
that the pro-slavery forces were destitute of provisions and other means for
furnishing the necessaries of life to said prisoners; that the prisoners were so
situated that natural laws were more potent than mere civil laws or rights of
property; that humanity imperatively demanded that said prisoners be kept from
starvation; that public policy and the peace of the Territory were the alleged
motives for the arrest and detention of said prisoners; that the governor had
determined to allay excitement and hostilities by substituting the forms of civil
government for the anarchy that had so long prevailed, and that he had at his
command a sufficient force to execute his orders; that the pro-slavery forces were
not likely to permit their prisoners to want for rations, even if they had to take
the same by force, for, as prisoners of war, their sense of honor would impel them
to forage for the support of their prisoners if necessary, while their own rations
were furnished by the United States assistant quartermaster; such foraging it was
evident would lead to opposition on the part of those upon whom the foraging
demands would necessarily be made; opposition lead to resistance, resistance to
collision, warfare, and a renewal of anarchy. All these considerations were
pressed upon the attention and consideration of deponent by United States Marshal
DONALDSON and Governor GEARY, who insisted upon this deponent to furnish these
supplies; in addition, the marshal and Governor GEARY proclaimed that the United
States government or the territorial government would be bound to indemnify
deponent for any supplies so furnished; that said supplies must be had at all
hazards; subsequently said deponent consented to furnish and did furnish the
supplies and rations charged in said account or schedule, and every item thereof,
to and for the use, comfort, and necessary maintenance of said free-State
prisoners, and that said supplies were furnished under circumstances of absolute
necessity, to which resistance would have been unavailing, and could only have
resulted in further and heavier sacrifices on the part of deponent. Against such
contribution deponent protested to said Governor and marshal, but finally
consented to proceed therewith for a time. After a few days deponent refused to
furnish some supplies from his store that had been sent for with a file of armed
men belonging to said territorial militia to enforce the demand; in defending his
property deponent had a fight with said armed men in his store; after which the
governor came and urgently-requested said deponent to furnish said prisoners and
guards; this deponent saw the necessity under which he was placed; in said fight
blows were struck with hatchets and other weapons, and wounds inflicted; after
that he continued to furnish supplies upon demand to the amount of the kind and
description in the aggregate as set forth in said schedule. This deponent further
states that he was a citizen of Kansas during the years 1855 and 1856, and has
been residing in the Territory ever since; he now lives in Lecompton. Deponent
prays that all his proofs and papers, heretofore submitted to Commissioner
STRICKLER, (a certified copy of which will be found hereto annexed,) may be taken
and received as his petition, schedule, and partial proof in this case; that some
of the witnesses, whose testimony was filed with General STRICKLER, are now absent
from the Territory, and their personal presence cannot be obtained, viz: Mr.
JOHN~ON started some time ago for Pennsylvania, and James M. TUTON supposed to be
in Llnn county, Missouri, as deponent is informed and believes.

�In the matter of the petition of John N.O.P. WOOD.
County of Douglas, ss:
William P. CALDWELL, of lawful age, being duly sworn, deposes and says: That
he resided in Lecompton during the fall of 1856; I was one of the militia men
mustered into the United States service, and it was made our duty to guard the
free-State prisoners. These prisoners were kept in Doctor WOODis house, now known
as the National Hotel, in Lecompton; he supplied these prisoners with provisions,
with stoves, fuel, beds and bedding, and clothing; these prisoners were kept in
the house and supplied by Doctor WOOD about three months; never knew anyone else
to furnish supplies and provisions for the prisoners; donlt think anyone else was
able to furnish the provisions; Doctor WOOD had a dry goods and grocery store; had
a good stock of goods; Governor GEARY told deponent that he had got Doctor WOOD to
furnish the supplies for these prisoners, such as provisions, clothing, bedding,
stoves, fuel, &amp;c.; also a house for them to stay in during the time these
prisoners were kept in Lecompton; it was an absolute necessity on the part of
Doctor WOOD to furnish the supplies to prevent an outbreak and forcible
contribution, as there was a sufficient force to take violently all the provisions
needed, and this deponent believes that if the supplies had been refused they
would have been taken by force; this deponent knows that some armed men were
refused supplies by Mr. JOHNSON, a clerk in Doctor WOODis store, when an
altercation took place; they came back to the storeroom with a file of armed men;
about seven came into the store, and ten or more at the door; they attempted to
take supplies by force; Doctor WOOD resisted; knocked some of the men down with a
hand hatchet; it was supposed that he had killed one man; the armed men outside
threw stones in the windows, dOing considerable damage; Doctor WOOD, after this,
let them have supplies.

In the matter of the petition of John N.O.P. WOOD.
County of Douglas, ss:
James M. PELOT, after being duly sworn, deposes and says: That he was first
lieutenant of company A, infantry, territorial militia, mustered into service of
the United States during the fall of 1856; during the months of September,
October, and November it was made the duty of said company to guard the "freeState prisoners." These prisoners received the usual "soldiers l rations," such as
flour, coffee, bacon, and vegetables, and said provisions for the prisoners were
supplied by John N.O.P. WOOD, from his store in Lecompton; he kept a dry goods and
grocery store at that time; had a good supply of staple goods, and he was the only
one in town at the time that had a sufficient supply on hand to enable him to
furnish the free-State prisoners with provisions; the quartermasterls department
at Fort Leavenworth refused to supply these prisoners from the public stores.
There were no means at our command to supply these prisoners; there were about one
hundred ~risoners supplied by Doctor WOOD; no one else, to my knowledge, furnished
these prlsoners; he furnished them with (in addition to provisions) stoves and
fuel.

�Territory of Kansas, County of Douglas:
The petition of J.N.O.P. WOOD, of the county of Douglas and Territory of Kansas,
under the act of the territorial legislature, entitled "An act to provide for the
auditing of claims," approved February 22, 1857:
J.N.O.P. WOOD, of the county of Douglas and Territory of Kansas, would
respectfully represent unto the honorable commissioners: That during the year 1856
he was dealing in merchandise (consisting of provisions, dry goods, groceries,
&amp;c.) in the town of Lecompton, county and Territory aforesaid; that during the
summer and fall of the year 1856 a large number of prisoners, amounting from
eighty-four to one hundred and thirteen in number, were held in the town of
Lecompton, Kansas Territory, by the United States marshal for the Territory of
Kansas for various and different offences against the laws of the United States
and those of Kansas Territory; and while held as aforesaid your petitioner
furnished the said prisoners with boarding and lodging, and for number of
prisoners, time of keeping, price, &amp;c., you are referred to the schedule herewith
filed, which is made a part of this petition; that a number of said prisoners were
tried before the proper tribunal in Kansas Territory, convicted, and sentenced to
hard labor in the penitentiary; and that after their conviction and sentence, as
aforesaid, your petitioner furnished to the master of convicts of Kansas Territory
(under whose charge they were placed) provisions, bedding, and clothing, amounting
to seven hundred and fifty-six dollars and seventy-three cents, ($756.73;) that
during the summer of A.D. 1856 your petitioner furnished to the United States
marshal, DONALDSON, and to other persons having command of the territorial militia
engaged in the political difficulties existing in Kansas Territory at that time,
provisions and other necessaries amounting to the sum of one thousand seven
hundred and eighty-two dollars and eleven cents; and that during the winter of
1856, and at the time of the existing political difficulties, your petitioner
lost, by having them stolen and forcibly taken from him by persons engaged in said
difficulties, articles of merchandise and live property, amounting in the whole to
five hundred and seventy-five dollars, and during the summer of 1856 he lost, as
aforesaid, two saddles and bridles of the value of thirty-four dollars and fifty
cents, as will be manifestly shown by reference to the schedule herewith filed;
and interest on the same at the rate of ten per cent per annum for the term of two
years, amounting to one hundred and twenty-one dollars and twenty cents, which, as
in other cases, added to the whole, amounts to the sum total of seven thousand
eight hundred and forty-five dollars and thirty-one cents, all of which your
petitioner most respectfully presents.

Lecompton during the years 1855 and 1856, and were acquainted with the above-named
petitioner; they knew that the petitioner furnished and kept the "free-State
prisoners," about one hundred in number; a part of said prisoners were taken at
"Hickory Point," and the rest taken at other places, and said WOOD kept and
provided for these prisoners about three months; he furnished them with
provisions, fuel, bedding, stoves, &amp;c.; boarding and provisions were very high in
Lecompton at the time; there was a scarcity of provisions in the country;
supplies, such as flour, bacon, &amp;c., were obtained at Leavenworth City or
Missouri; it was well worth, for keeping these prisoners at that time, one dollar
each a day; the petitioner is now residing in the city of Lecompton, Kansas
Territory.

A FISH STORY

The Watkins Museum provided us with a story from the May 23, 1889 Lawrence
Journal. The paper told of Clarence HOADLEY and Bob FLUKE who went fishing at
Lakeview and came back "tired, hungry, sunburnt and as cross as two sticks" with a
"single 'finney,' about 2 1/2 in~hes long." "Bot~ Clarence and Bob are willing to
make oath that they caught the flSh, but even th1S story is doubted by some of
their best friends."

�THE SIMON FAMILIES OF DOUGLAS CO., KS

Submitted by Mark A. HOOVER, 1573 Beverly Rd., Idaho Falls, 10 83402. He indicates
that the parent document, available from him, has 18 pages of text with 55
references and 85 attachments. The attachments include copies of 64 Luxembourg
birth, baptism, marriage, death, and miscellaneous records.
The SIMON families settled between Clinton, Douglas County, KS on
the north and Overbrook, Osage County, KS on the south mostly in
Marion Township, Douglas County. Their migration was from
Junglinster, Luxembourg, a small village about" nine miles
northeast of Luxembourg City, over the last half of the 19th
century and included members from the KRIER, SCHALBAR, SCHREINER,
and THOME' families. They had been farmers in Luxembourg and
continued in that occupation in America, no doubt attracted by
the promise of peace and freedom and the availability of good
farm land. Their hopes and dreams were not in vain as the
families of each of the four immigrant SIMON children -- Mathias",
Peter, Katherine, and Nicholas -- were to enjoy prosperity.
The parents of these four were Johan SIMON and Anna THORNE' (both
born in 1810). The paternal grandparents were Michel SIMON and
catherine BRICHER (or BRICH/BRUCH/BRUCHER/BRUGGER). The maternal
grandparerits were Mathias THORNE' and Magdalena FELLER.
Attached is a summary of data for each of the four immigrant
SIMON children, their children, grandchildren, and spouses where
known. Of the 95 people listed 85 are known to have lived in
Douglas County. The birth record of Katherine SIMON (C. on the
summary), wife of immigrant Wendel in SAILE, is shown below.
Wendel in and Katherine had a 20 acre dairy for many years on the
south side of 23rd Street in Lawrence where the Ford dealership
and Burger King are located today.

UNDERSTANDING DATES IN THE OLD STYLE CALENDAR BEFORE 1752
Have you ever seen dates in old records like "Jan. 23, 1721/22" and been confused? Worse yet, have you
tried to figure out which date was correct and then used that date in your family records? DON'T!!! YOU MUST
RECORD· BOTH YEARS!!!
In the Middle Ages, the Julian Calendar was used in Europe, and it became more and more obvious that it was
inaccurate. By 1582, calendar dates were ahead of actual time by 10 days, so the present-day Gregorian calendar
was created by the Catholics. Protestant England and its American colonies weren't about to adopt anything
Catholic, so nothing was done in the British Empire until 1751, when the old calender was 11 days ahead of the sun
and Parliament finally passed an act to convert to the new calendar. The Act provided that in 1752, the second day
of September would be followed by the fourteenth day. The date beginning the new year was also changed from the
first da of S rin , March 25, to Januar 1. We can assume that before 1700 the Julian Calendar, or Old Style
O.S. was used. Harch was the 1st month, even ~tarch 1 through 24.) After 1700, the Gregorian Calendar, or New
Style (N.S.) was gradually adopted, especially in legal documents and town records, although most church registers
used Old Style until 1752. Therefore, between 1700 and 1752, a date between January 1 and Harch 24 should be
written with both years. For instance, Jan. 23, 1721/1722 would be the 23rd day of the 11th month, 1721 in the old
style, and the 23rd day of the 1st month, 1722 in the new style. It is not correct to use both years between March
25 and December 31, because under either system the new year had begun. It was and still is incorrect to change
the dates prior to September 1752 into New Style, but people who lived then (and 'since) did do it, so beware. They
also commonly added 11 days to their birth dates so they would not be 11 days older than they were. And don't
forget to subtract those 11 days when figuring birthdates when you know someone's age that lived· during that
period.
