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 Collect~on, 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 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. Also, where discrepancies exist between the two volumes, the 1865 volume information is used i f 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.

Hi, Was all set to cancel my membership when along comes the article on North Lawrence containing the informati on on the "Cast Ie". Have tried to find something about it for several years. The Wiggin families lived there for a while. My brother was born there in January, 1919. Several fami I ies of Wiggin lived there. I was interested as to why anyone would build such a large house. Our family always called it the "The stone Castle" and we all have pictures of it in our fami ly history books. My oldest sister painted the "Stone Castle" on a hand saw for me. Thanks for the article. Now I can pursue this further~ Choetta Cordell. 134 �THB OLD PORCH SWIHG by Billie Hahn Laughlin It has always been there, the big old farm house with the big porch swing. The land was a grant to my great grandparents from the Delaware Indians. The land is along the Kansas River in what is called Kaw Valley. In 1895 the first part of the house was built. As the children came along it was added to. There were four bedrooms upstairs, a parlor, huge living room, a large dining room and a small kitchen downstairs, and there was also a summer kitchen on the other side of the dining room. The porch runs from the west side of the house to the east, then goes back north toward the dining room, then east again. Hear the west edge of the porch and in front of the double windows of the parlor hangs a big porch swing. Ho one knows exactly when that porch swing was built, but my mother can remember her Grandfather sitting on it when she was a child, just as I can remember mine doing the same thing. Afamily picture taken in 1917 shows the porch swing, so it has been a part of the family for a long, long time. As a child I spent lots of time Rout homeN, as we always called it. Grandma always had her grandchildren around her. We'd sit on the big porch swing and she'd talk to. us as she shelled peas or peeled potatoes. It seemed her hands and mind were never still a moment. She was a beautiful lady. The porch swing was the place we were put to be out of the way, yet observe all the activities of getting ready to dig potatoes or whatever. The huge teams pulling wagons piled high with potato baskets, AgunnyR sacks and people, the team of horses used to pull the potato plow. The rider on horseback carrying the water jugs. My Grandfather raised acres and acres of potatoes and hired labor from town to do the picking. When the wagons moved to the fields and we wanted to see what was going on, we'd climb the arms and chains of the porch swing to see. If this didn't work we'd pump that ·swing till we would almost touch the porch roof to get a better view. I can still hear my Grandmother saying, "Don't pump too high. If the chains break, you'll end up in the driveway!N When I was seven, Grandmother died very suddenly. It was decided among the eight brothers and sisters that my parents would sell their home and move Rout homeR, as Grandpa wouldn't give up farming. How, "out homeR became my home. The big rooms, the big porch and the porch swing. It was a big, two-story, drafty old farm house but how I loved it. The winter winds would blow all the way through it; if it was snowing it was nothing to find snow in your shoes. We slept between flannel sheet blankets with mounds of comforters and quilts. We'd undress downstairs, put on flannel pajamas and socks, stand on the coal furnace register until we turned beet red, rush up the stairs and dive into bed. The summers were as hot as the winters were cold. As I grew older the porch swing was still an integral part of our lives. The young. cousins sitting in a row, all excited, waiting for a horseback ride. The aunts and uncles watching a softball game and laughing when you'd strike out. You'd cry and be sent to the "crying treeR, then to the outfield where you'd work your way to bat once more. My Mother and I having woman-to-woman talks sitting on that porch swing. 135 �THE OLD PORCH SWING (Continued) When the veather permitted, Grandpa alvays sat on the vest end of the porch sving like a king on his throne. When world Mar II broke out and the young cousins and neighborhood boys were leaving, they all came to tell Grandpa, or Uncle Jim as all the neighbors called him, goodbye. They said to be sitting in that same place vhen they came home. Aparticularly favorite neighbor boy didn't make it home, and I can remember sitting on the porch swing with Grandpa and crying. As I became a young adult, married and had children, ve never missed a Sunday going Rout home" for dinner. That old porch swing vas now serving a new generation. Grandpa did lots more sitting now and the great grandchildren used to give him some pretty hairy rides. Be lived until he was 96, so I guess they didn't do too much damage. In 1951 when the Kansas River went on the rampage and flooded the valley, the worst ever, the old house met the challenge. There was eight feet of water in the house and when the water receded there was over three feet of silt on the floors that hadn't fallen in. I don't knov how much was in the basement, but many a bucket-full vas carried out. What furniture ve couldn't move upstairs vas gone -- among it the tva pianos in .the parlor, the oak dining room table that vould stretch across the fifteen foot living room and the porch sving. The house was cleaned out and restored, the coal furnace converted to gas, and the legs of the table and one of the pianos vas all that remained. We all mourned the loss of the porch swing, but as luck would have it, a farmer down by Eudora found it in his cornfield and it came home. We were all so happy and excited it had been found. Over the years, the house has been changed a bit. The parlor is a nov fifth bedroom. There is a bath upstairs, a bath and utility room downstairs. The kitchen and dining room now are one huge room, and the summer kitchen is a carpeted back porch. But to this day nothing has changed that porch swing. It hangs in the same place. It is one of the best friends I ever had. It was a baby sitter, a conference table and a confessional. What stories it could tell. And isn't it lucky that myoId friend can't talk? t t t "Grandpa" in this story vas James H. Corel, born in Douglas County on June 33, 1865. He married Emma Miller and they had eight children, all born on or near "the old house l • Their children vere: Charles W., b 10 Sep 1893 Gladys Fay, b 23 Feb 1896 James Glenn, b 24 May 1898 Augusta RBillie R, b 10 Feb 1900 George Arthur, b 4 Mar 1902 John Beasley "JiggyR, b 27 Jun 1904 Eugene W.

We've been getting along thanks to great help from many members. Hopefully after the Family History book is finished we will be able to find someone to serve as President. The book should be out soon. We may not have it by Christmas but it won't be for lack of trying. Thank you all for your patience on receiving it. I understand the frustration in having to wait so long. We are now sending out the charges for overages on the stories. You will remember that 500 words were free and then there would be a charge for any extra lines. Thanks to Barbara Title for her additions to the Pioneer. I appreciated her comments that if a I ady in Texas coul d do the Pioneer then she could submit some information to be included. Thanks. Also thanks to Cora who has done such a great job. She has had family considerations that have forced her to give up editing the Pioneer. However we surely do appreciate those issue that she did do. Of course, we are now looking for someone else to do it for us. Remember you don't have to be in Lawrence to type it up. We will send you the information to be included. Then you send it back to us and we take it from there. You will notice that included in this issue is a list of items that need to be copied. If any of you outside of Lawrence see anything there that you need let us know and we can get started copying what you want. These copyings will then be published in the Pioneer. Al so if any of you wi thin driving distance of Lawrence want to volunteer to do some of this copying please let us know. We will be delighted and I think you will find it rewarding.
