As you can tell by the vacant list of officsrs for the Society we are having trouble getting anyone to take over for the present group of officers. These folks have been doing their jobs for 3-4 years and need a break. One of, those positions is The Pioneer editor. We were in a quandary!! Graciously I received a letter from a new member in Texas who said she really wanted to volunteer to help. I immediately thought of the editors positions when she said she had a word processor. Her name is Cora Wilson from Valley Mills, Texas, and this is her first issue. Of course, the responsibility this puts on the "local folks" and other members is to keep her supplied with articles and/or compilations or records; etc. This is your chance to be published. If you have remembrances, records that i you have gleaned with Douglas County connections then send them to us. This is your chance and we need the help. I suspect that each member may have some information about Douglas County that someone else would like to know. Remember we are not needing Pulitzer Prize material here but we do want it to be interesting and somewhat relevant to Douglas County. The present officers are continuing "under duress". We will pursue a slate of officers in the near future so when you are called do not turn us down. We really don't want this society to fall apart but disinterest is a first indication of dissolution. Not a happy thought. Again, Thanks Cora, for taking us need to see that this works. this most Happy geneal ogi zing.

He is 86 years old, consequently he is a The Pioneer, Vol. XVI, No.1 5 �Benjamin F. Smith, continued teetotaller and an abstainer from all intemperate habits. The greatest moment of his life, he says, is when he came to Kansas and cast a vote for prohibition. He com,es from a strictly colonial family. His great grandfather, Richard RANDLE, was born in Guernsey county, Virginia. In 1752, and served in the Revolutionary war under the command of Col. Ethan ALLEN and capt. John MACKLIN. It was Randle's eldest son, Parham RANDLE, who started the family's emigration 1flest. He set out in 1827 in search of a better location and found it twenty miles' east of St. Louis. He was 80 years old and made the trip from North Carolina on horseback. His family joined him in 1832. It was here that Benjamin Frank SMITH became a man. He grew fruit and marketed it to the big market in St. Louis. He became an expert truck gardener which he followed when he came further West and settled in Kansas. He was the fir·st Kansan to ship strawberries to Denver. The state horticultural society is what it is today largely thru his efforts. He has been a member since 1881 and was elected president in 1914, after serving two years as vice-president. Smith ,,,as not always engaged in the fruit growing business. For years after he moved to St. Louis he was in the employ of the Illinois Central railway. The jobs of brakeman, conductor, expressman 'and baggageman, were intrusted to him, a lad of scarcely 21 years old. At one time nine. money safes, containing $3, 000, 000 to pay the Union soldiers at Vicksburg were under his care. While many of his fellow workers were addicted to drug and strong drink, which w.;:ts for sale at nearly every store, he stuck to his clean habits and won out. ********** From The Lawrence Daily Journal World: B. F. SlfiTH Tells How He Met Lincoln and Douglas While Railroad Worker B. F. SMITH, Douglas county horticulturist, had a two page article in the March number of the Illinois Central magazine, in which he tells 6f his railroading experiences as a boy and relates experiences when Lincoln and Douglas were passengers on his train before the civil war. Mr. SMITH was moved to write to President MARKHAM of the Illinois Central after reading the story of the latter's life which was published in the October number of the American Magaz ine. Mr. SMITH's letter as reprinted in the railroad magazine, was as follows: I was an employee of the Illinois Central for eight years, beginning in April 1858. I went to work as a freight brakemen on the South division, and in 1859 I was transferred to the Chicago division, running between Centralia and Chicago. In November of that year I was transferred back to the South division and was promoted to baggage master, and I continued to serve the Illinois Cen1:ral until March 1, 1866, when I resigned to go into the business of fruit growing. I was in the fruit growing business more than fifty years, but am now retired, having passed my 85th birthday. The First Strawberries In 1860, about the 5th of May, I carried the first package of strawberries handled on the Illinois Central. The berries were packed in an old fashioned candy box holding about two gallons, and the box was marked to H.W. NEWHALL, Chicago. The,y were grown by the station agent at Ullin, twenty miles north of Cairo, Cobden later became the big strawberry center in southern Illinois. In 1862, 1863 and 1864 the Cobden berry growers received $1 a quart during the first two weeks of berry picking. There were other stations' along the line of The Pioneer, Vol. 'XVI, No.1 6 �Benjamin F. Smith, continued the railroad in southern Illinois is 1865, and a man at Centralia planted ten acres. Anna and Dongola also began to plant small patches; so the Cobden berry men then had only about four to six days advantage at the price of $1 a quart. It was several years before anyone began shipping berries from Tennes~ee and Arkansas. The first peach orchard in southern Illinois of which I remember was one of ten acres planted on a high elevation a half mile east of Cobden. During the peach ripening season of 1858 avery poor class of seedling peaches was shipped to "the Chicago market in common board boxes before the orchards of fine budded frui"t came into bearing for" commercial purpose, which was between 1862 and 186l. The Illinois Central made southern Illinois a good place to live and make money; in fact, the Illinois Central did more for settlement in Illinoi 7, than any other railroad in the state. Heard Lincoln and Douglas In the fall of 1858 Stephen A. DOUGLAS and Abraham LINCOLN were canvassing the state in joint debate for election to the United States Senate. I was the brakeman on the special train sent to Jonesborro, where these two distinguished men were to speak. There were only three Republicans in the town to hear Mr. LINCOLN, but: thousands of Democrats to hear Mr. DOUGLAS. When we arr i ved at the station four or five young men came into the car and carried Mr. DOUGLAS to a hack, not: allowing his feet to touch the platform. Mr. LINCOLN I s three Republican friends were not there to receive him. Though only a boy then, it seemed "to me that Mr. LINCOLN made the best argument on slavery. His face was covered with smiles from the beginning to the last words of his speech. In the spring and summer of 1859, when I was a brakeman on the Chicago division, Mr. DOUGLAS came aboard at Odin, going to Chicago. He asked me if he could sit in my seat, as he wanted to step out and shake hands with his friends. I told him he must sit next the window, that I must sit near the door I refused, to attend the brake at the station. He offered me a cigar, which saying I neVE~r smoked. He shou1:ed, "What! A railroad man who does not smoke?" "Yes, sir." After we had lunch at Champaign Mr. DOUGLAS went into the second class car and rode until we reached Chicago, where I went forward to look after my train chest. Mr. I~UGLAS had a bottle in his grip that had a little whisky in it. He said, "Here, Brakeman, is some mighty good whisky." I refused to drink it, saying that I did not like it. Friends carried him out and put him in a cab and sent him to a hotel. A Ride with Lincoln The sam,,:! year, in October, that Mr. DOUGLAS sat with me on a 120 mile ride. Mr. LINCOLN sat in my seat for a ride of twelve miles. He had been sleeping all night, having got on the train at Chicago. He got up at Champaign and sat with me until he arrived at Tolono, where he changed cars for Springfield. He saw the sun rising over the beautiful prairies. Mr. LINCOLN, like Mr. DOUGLAS, seemed to want to get acquainted with the boy brakeman and to see the beautiful sun rising. When Mr. LINCOLN stepped off the train at Tolono I never saw his face aga'in, but if he could have seen my face on the 15th of April, 1865, after the assassination in the theatre, he would have seen tears trickling down my face all day. When I began work on the Illinois Central I was newsboy and attended to carrying water to passengers, etc. Beginning in April I worked as a freight train 'brakeman. The officials often sat in the baggage car with me in those days.

Cora WILSON, 893 Rivercrest Rd~ Valley Mills, Tx 76689-2632. Telephone (817) 932-6605. The Pioneer, Vol. XVI, No.1 11 �DOUGLAS COUNTY, KANSAS VOWllTEERS .186.1-.1865 Continued from Vol. XV, No.4. This list was extracted and alphabetized from the Report of the Adjutant General of the State of Kansas, Vol. 1, 1861-1865, and another volume for the year 1864, which can be found in the Lawrence Public Library Kansas Collection, as well as the Kansas State Historical Society Library in Topeka. The first volume (1865) contains only the 1st through 11th Regiments. In the 1865 report, the Adjutant ~ H z o I-' N General notes that his office does not have complete records for all soldiers, and other records are incomplete. Other records conflict so that "a_discriminating judgement often has to be exercised.'! Many cases involve men captured or wounded or who voluntarily returned from desertion where the records did not report this. Likewise, when a whole regiment was mustered out, all its members were usually recorded as being mustered out on that date, regardless of whether they were actually present, out on detached duty or in the hospital. In this extraction, only those who list Doulgas County residences are recorded here, and in many cases the original records did not record the residence. It will also be noted that where the name of a location in Douglas County is the same as the location name in another county, all those whose residences could have been in Douglas County were extracted. Also, where discrepancies exist between the two volumes, the 1865 volume information is used if possible, since it was published later and contains many corrections. Some notes indicate which volume was used (1865 is used as the date of the 1861-1865 volume). The 1864 volume lists some birthdates and places where the later volume does not, and these are noted.

The following is from her brochure: LEST WE FORGET Christian Frederick Staatz and Charlotte Wilhelmina Wallowt Staatz of Lyona Community Junction City, Kansas Who Came From Schwirsen, Pomerania, Germany, in 1851 by Inez Staatz Kensit 1991 Christian F. Staatz with his wife Charlotte and five children Charles William, William Herman, J.F., Johanna (Latzke) and Augusta (Biegert) -- sailed for America in August 1851. The Staatz family first settled in Watertown, Wisconsin. In 1857 they went by covered wagon to the Lyona Valley, Kansas. Christian and Charlotte and their children built log cabins along the banks of Lyon Creek, where they raised their families. They broke the soil with teams of oxen to plant their crops, started schools and were elected to public off ices. They were a Christian' family and established the Lyona Methodist Mission on ,their farm land. The chimes of the native limestone church, now known as the Lyona United Methodist Church, are still heard throughout the valley each Sunday beckoning the eighth generation to worship. Some of the many of the families that married into the Staatz family include Oesterreich, Rekken, Henning, Rubin, Biegert, Gantenbein, Latzke and Freitag. For the first time, the full genealogy of this family has been chronicled. Compiled from over eight years of research by Inez Staatz Kensit, the book represents data accumulated from personal research, courthouses, church records, census records, Bible records, unpublished manuscripts and war files. It includes 52 family photographs, 19 photos of early buildings and 13 of grave stones of early settlers.'
