GREETINGS, Again and Still,
from your President
I want to thank Bobby Title for agreeing to help us ~ut with THE PIONEER.
She lives in Santa Ana, CA, works full time but still finds time to do this for
us.
Her reason for helping is because in the past she received such good
information from THE PIONEER she wanted to do what she could to keep this
publication going. We do thank her, a lot. She did the last issue, Vol 17, No.
1 and will continue for a while. With her help we will be caught up in no time.
However, to do this we will need input from the rest of the members. If you have
any information that you have gleaned or put together and would like it to be
published in THE PIONEER please get it to me. This publication is made up of
only material donated by members. Send it to me, Mary Burchill, at our P.O. Box.
The following books have been purchased by the Douglas County, Kansas,
Genealogical Society and placed in our Library as a memorial to Claude Smith.
Claude had his roots in Leavenworth County and the environs. Claude and Zona,
who is active in the Society, have both been long time members. A commemorative
acknowledgement will be placed in each volume.
Erwin C. Baker and Charles p'. Pierce, compilers, Cemetery Surname
Index (Leavenworth: Leavenworth County Genealogical Society, 1980).
There are 10 pamphlets covering the following townships in
Leavenworth County:
Tonganoxie, Stranger, Reno, Kickapoo, High
Prairie (excluding Sunset Memory Gardens), Fairmount, Easton,
Delaware (excluding Mt. Calvary and Mt. Muncie), Sherman and
Alexandria.
Leavenworth Co. Oldest Resident Pioneer Day Contest (1936).

20 p.

Rita Spindler, compiler and editor, Snooping Around (Leavenworth:
Leavenworth COunty Genealogical Society, 1993). 20 p.
John and Enid Ostertag, compilers, A Directory of 20 Counties
bordering the Missouri River for Genealogists. Historians. Tourists,
(St. Joseph, MO: John and Enid Ostertag, 1988). 378 p.
Leavenworth County Genealogical Society, History of Leavenworth
Leavenworth County Genealogical
County. Kansas (Leavenworth:
Society, 1990). 464 p.
Once again, this Spring we will be calling for officers.
If you would
volunteer that would be great.
Now that the Family History Book is nearing
completion, the officers will be able to concentrate on the business of the
Soc~et!.
The present Board has pledged to see the book through to completion,
re11ev1ng the new Board from that responsibility. There is so much interest in
the Society that I find it hard to believ~ that there are not some members who
would take on the responsibilities of officers.
If you have any suggestions,
please let me know.
Sincerely,
Mary Burchill

that his condition was so serious.

a
son of
the
late J.J.

farmed for some years, later engaging in the hardware
busi~ess in Woodbine, where later moving to Baldwin,
Kansas, while his children were attending Baker

His children in Japan are engaged in religious and
educational work.
Surviving are the widow and four
children, Mrs. Floyd Roberts, Warren Muenzenmayer, and
Miss Naomi Muenzenmayer, all of whom are in Japan, Mrs.

of Woodbine; three sisters, Mrs. L. F. Volkmann,
Junction City, Mrs. Helen Klamm, of Detroit, Kansas,
Mrs. George Glamm, of Kansas Ci ty, Kansas, and many
nephews, nieces and friends.
Mr. Muenzenmayer was a public spirited c1t1zen. In his
residence at Woodbine, he served the city as mayor, was
active in the educational affairs of that city, and
while in Baldwin, also served that city as mayor.
On
his farm in the Lyona section he built a small lake and
picnic grounds, attractively arranged, and which he
allowed the public to use without charge for many years.
He and his wife had a summer cottage at the lake and
usually spent part of each summer there.
The funeral arrangements have not been announced.

visited our camp. When Cap's outfit came along we all crossed the bridge and
camped just this side of it. A party of three wagons joined us at the Bridge.
A Mrs. OWENS and two daughters and two sons, one of the sons has been in Oregon
and went back to bring his folks out. There is a young man traveling with them.
They have two wagons.
The other is an ox team with two men.
About three we
started and drove eight miles and camped halfway up the mountain side to get away
from the mosquitos. The other party went on but found the mosquitos so thick
they had to go onto higher ground.
SUNDAY. JULY 15
Started early this morning and drove about seventeen miles and camped near
some excellent springs where we found the rest of the train. Stayed there four
hours and made another drive of ten miles. Several of the boys went out hunting,
and when night came Charley and a son of Mr. BAUGHERS were missing. Several men
have gone to search for them. Just before night the owner of Platte Bridge and
the telegraph operator, intimate friends of Hervy's came into camp and stayed
overnight.
MONDAY. JULY 16
Camp was considerably excited over the missing boys.
They hunted until
midnight and were getting ready to go again this morning when they heard guns
fired up the road.
They answered them and soon saw them coming.
They staid
eight miles ahead of us. We started at 7, drove eight miles to a creek, watered
the stock and came on to Sweetwater, crossed the bridge and camped just this side
of it. We got here at one o'clock. After dinner all the men but Hervy went out
on the mountains hunting. There is an old Fort close to the bridge, and the men
that stayed with Hervy stop there. Mr. BERNARD spent most of his time with Hervy
and the other fellow visited with the OWENS. Hervy proposed to Rose, Prank and

myself to take a walk to the Port and other places of interest he wished to show
us and his friend. We went to the Fort where the telegraph office is kept, spent
half hour pleasantly there, then went to the graves of soldiers that were killed
by Indians here. Prom there we went to Alkali Lake then back t6 the Port, where
we were pleasantly entertained by the gentlemen, we were shown some beautiful
stones that had been collected by one of the gentlemen, and he told us to select
one each to keep as a souvenir. Then we went to Independence Rock, climbed to
the top of it and amused ourselves reading the names that have been carved on
it and viewing the beautiful scenery from the summit. Mr. BERNARD returned to
camp with us and remained till after supper, when he bade us goodbye for he
starts back to Platte bridge tonight.
I think he is very pleasant and
interesting. (After we got through we heard the men stationed at this Fort were
killed by Indians not very long after we passed.)
Hervy MERWIN had been a
soldier on the plains and was familiar with all this country.
THURSDAY. JULY 17
We started before breakfast this morning, and came about eight miles up the
river, where we stopped, and spent the remainder of the day. The women put in
their time washing and baking, and the men theirs hunting and scaling the
mountains. A while before sundown, Rose, Prank and I started for a visit to the
Devils Gate a half mile distant. John and West soon joined us. We climbed over
into the canyon, and went out on a rock in the river as far as we could, and
climbed over two thirds of the way to the top of the mountain, when we got out
of the canyon, the shades of night had gathered around our little valley.
WEDNESDAY. JULY 18
Last night some of the cattle were driven away from the herd, they were
followed. and recovered about eight miles from camp, a man was found with them.
Drove fifteen miles, and camped near the foot of the mountains. Mrs. B, Rose,
Prank and I spent some time climbing over the rocks.
Mr. Merwin and Father
started out soon after dinner for an afternoon hunt. Wes helped me hitch up the
team, as one of our leaders was such a mean creature I could not handle him, and
I drove during the afternoon. We came about eight miles, and camped on the
r1ver. The hunters did not get any game.
THURSDAY. JULY 19
We started at six and drove to the three crossings and stopped for dinner.
They found we could not cross the creek, so we came up through the sand hills
and camped near where the other road came back across the river.

FRIDAY, JULY 20
Dur~ng the forenoon the antelope were thick along the road, and most of the
men were trying to kill one, but Will was the only successful one.
In the
afternoon Pa saddled one of the mules and went out from the road a ways, but did
not get any game. We are camped on a small creek tonight near two graves that
were made the eighth of June, 1966. One was killed accidentally, the other was
killed by one of his party.

SATURDAY. JULY 21
We were off by six, and drove till eleven.
Camped near some excellent
springs. In the afternoon we drove to the Sweetwater and stopped for the night.
Cap stayed at the Springs.

SUNDAY . JULY 22
Started about the usual time and drove eight miles.
Camped on a small
creek. near a station where some soldiers were stopping. Several of them visited
camp. Some were quite nice looking fellows. A short time before we were ready
to start for the afternoon drive, the other party came up.
We came over to
Pacific Springs and camped three miles this side. The other party stopped within
two miles of us.
Today we crossed the summit of the South Pass of the Rocky
Mountains.

MONDAY, JULY 23
Drove to Los Creek and took dinner. Came on to Little Sandy and camped for
the night. The Sandy is nearly as large as Sweetwater.

TUESDAY, JULY 24
We came about nine miles to Big Sandy and took dinner on it.. In the
afternoon we drove some eighteen or twenty miles and camped on the Big Sandy
again.

WEDNESDAY, JULY 25
Came to Green River, ferried over and drove a few miles this side and
stopped for dinner. In the afternoon we drove twelve miles and camped on a high
bluff overlooking the river, and turned the stock down on the bottom to graze.

THURSDAY, JULY 26
It was seven when we were ready to move this morning.
Came about twelve
miles over a very rough country.
Stopped for dinner about a half mile from a
small creek. Mrs. BALDWIN and I walked down to the creek after dinner. It is
so narrow one could jump across it in many places. The water is from two to four
feet deep and has a milky look as it runs in the stream. We travelled up the
creek during the afternoon, crossed over and camped just this side of it.

FRIDAY. JULY 27
This afternoon we have been climbing the eastern slope of Bear rl.ver
mountains.
We came down into a deep narrow valley through which ran a small
stream of water. We stopped for dinner near a fine spring of water that issues
from the mountain side at the roots of a large gooseberry bush.
Most of the
folks are employing their leisure putting their names upon the rocks.
The
country was more mountainous this afternoon.
We came down a long steep hill
and crossed a little rivulet at its base.
A short distance farther crossed a
creek and came a few miles farther to a small valley with a beautiful stream of
water running through it. We crossed over and camped.
Mr. MERWIN and Father
said they were going to get some snow that was in sight, but they returned
without any.
It was a good deal farther off than they had calculated.
Just
before sundown we had a pleasant shoer. The intention tonight is to remain here
a day or two to let the teams rest, for they have had a hard time since we left
Sweetwater.

SATURDAY, JULY 28
This day has been spent very much like all our days of rest. The men folks
have been hunting but killed no game larger than sage hens and ducks.
In the
afternoon Hervey, Alf, Rose, Mollie and Prank started to go to the snow, but when
they climbed the first mountain they all agreed they did not want snow bad enough
to go on after it.
They gathered some beautiful flowers on the mountainside.
About sundown the Texas party came along and camped a short distance ahead of
us. They parted company with the Captain JAVIN at the ferry.

SUNDAY, JULY 29
Started about six and have had a succession of up and down hill, and mud
holes all the forenoon. We crossed the spur of the mountain and came down into
the valley of Hams fork, came down the valley a mile and crossed a couple of
small mountain streams, one of which had its source in a large spring.
The
spring was some thirty feet in diameter and about fifteen deep. The water boiled

up through the white sand in the bottom but the surface was calm and unruffled
and reflected the sky and surroundings, so that at a distance the water looked
blue as indigo.
It was beautiful.
We came across Hans fork and stopped for
dinner. When we were crossing the mountain, the boys got a pail of snow, which
was appreciated after the fatigue of climbing the mountain. Soon after dinner
it began to rain, and they decided to remain where we were. Nearly everyone has
been fishing but few were caught.
MONDAY, JULY 30
First thing this morning was to climb a long steep hill, which was rather
difficult owing to the slippery condition of the road.
We came over the spur
onto a valley some five miles in width, crossed it, and stopped for dinner at
a little spring brook near the top of the mountain. In the afternoon we passed
through a beautiful grove of Balsam Fir.
We descended the mountain into Bear
River Valley. Passed a large train bound for Montana. We went down the valley
several miles and camped within two miles of the river.
TUESDAY, JULY 31
We proceeded down the valley along the base of some mountains, crossed a
creek on a bridge near a ranch and some nice looking folks occupied it. We came
down the river several miles and took dinner on a small branch of the river.
In the afternoon we crossed Thompson's fork.
It is a good sized stream with a
bridge across it. We then came over a spur of the mountains and camped in a very
pretty valley.
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 1
We crossed another spur of the mountains and onto an extensive valley. Came
down it a couple of miles and camped near a ranch. After dinner we came about
seven miles, to a Mormon village where we stopped for an hour or more, trading
wi th the people. They had some nice looking wheat fields and gardens. They have
to irrigate all the ground they cultivate. They have cattle, and butter is the
staple product. We came on four or five miles farther and camped on the left
bank of a beautiful mountain stream. Several of the Mormon women came to camp
and we made various swaps.
THURSDAY, AUGUST 2
We did not start till an hour after our usual time for starting, as several
wanted to trade more.
Hervy bought a beautiful grey horse.
Drove about ten
miles, and stopped for dinner on a small creek a mile and a half from the river.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 3
During the forenoon we came to the far fam~d Soda Springs.
They were a
short distance from the road and we all went to see the largest one. The water
boils up out of a rock basin and runs down into a good sized affluent of Bear
Ri ver. A red substance settles on the rocks wherever the water passes over them.
There are several houses and a store near the springs.
About a mile from the
Springs we came to the main village· situated at the base of the hills near the
brink of the river. It is a beautiful place, with the lofty mountains standing
in sublime grandeur on every side, and the river winding along at their base.
In the afternoon we passed a soda fountain some six feet in diameter.
It was
enclosed in a basin a foot or more in height, which is continually forming from
the water.
The valley was very rough, there being numerous extinct craters.
We camped near a spring on the side of the mountain.
SATURDAY. AUGUST 4
Started nearly an hour earlier than usual this morning to get the start of
the ox train that was close behind us. The features of the country this forenoon
were very much the same as yesterday. We crossed a small creek and drove down
it a short distance, and stopped for dinner.
Some teams from Snake river, on
their way to Soda Springs for lumber, camped near us.
The afternoon has been
quite showery and chilly.
We camped tonight on the same creek we took dinner
on.
SUNDAY. AUGUST 5
This morning was very cold. We drove a few miles and crossed a small stream on
a toll bridge.
(All bridges are toll bridges on the plains and it is a big item of
expense). We wound our devious way around and over the hills, then entered a canyon
and travelled up it till we came to a small valley, where we stopped for dinner.
In
the afternoon our road lay through deep canyons with rugged mountains on either side.
We came· to a creek on which we found lots of June berries. We travelled down the creek
some distance and camped on it at night.

MONDAY. AUGUST 6
Came twelve or fourteen miles, and took dinner on a creek of good size. Several
nice fish were caught. We crossed the creek on a bridge, passed a stage station and
came up a nice valley with several ranches. We crossed Snake river on the ferry and
camped just below it. This was the Old Fort Hall crossing.
TUESDAY. AUGUST 7
BALDWINS and ourselves were some behind time.
When the rest started they went
off on a wrong road and we went on the right one.
We had not gone far till PORTER
overtook us, saying the others had stopped for the day back aways. We found a good
place to camp close to the river.
I caught a nice large trout soon after we camped.
Everyone was fishing and had good success. Just before sundown Hervy rode into camp
saying the rest were coming. They all expressed their regret at the misunderstanding
that separated us, for Mr. MERWIN told us they were going to drive twelve miles before
stopping.
WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 8
Mrs. B and I have been very busy washing and baking, and the men folks have been
fishing and caught a lot. We salted them down and will have fish for some time. About
three o'clock we started, intending to make half of the thirty mile drive without water
that we were told about at the Perry. Came about a mile and filled the water kegs from
an excellent spring. Drove another mile and passed the Texans in camp.
Came about
eight miles farther and found grass and plenty of water, so they struck camp.

THURSDAY. AUGUST 9
We were on the road early, drove five miles, and came to another nice spring of
water.
Several miles farther we met a man who said it was only fourteen miles to
water. Some eight miles farther we met another man who said it was then twenty miles
before we came to water. About noon we stopped for an hour and let the stock graze.
We drove till nearly sundown and found water in a canyon on the East side of the Butte,
but there is very little feed. The country is very rough and covered with sagebrush.
FRIDAY. AUGUST 10
Camp was aroused about three o'clock, but some time was consumed hunting
up the stock.
It was after four before we got started. Drove about nine miles
and came to the beautiful stream Lost River. Watered there and came on a couple
of miles and camped for breakfast, where we remained until one 0 ' clock. The road
1S along the river several miles, then strikes across the desert of sage brush.
We came about fifteen miles and camped without water, but the feed was very good.

The timber on a stream off to our right was in sight. Father insisted it was
not over two miles or less to it, while so~e of the others said it was ten miles.
So he took his lunch and a small bucket and said he would go to it and back
before dark.
It is now nine o'clock and he is not back yet.
I have kept a
candle burning on top of the wagon, but our wagons are in a hollow and he will
not be able to see t~~ light very far. The boys went up the road several times
before they retired and fired of their revolvers.
SATURDAY. AUGUST 11
We started without breakfast and just as we were ready to start Father came
into camp. He had found the road early in the evening but couldn't tell which
was the right way, and traveled in the wrong direction. As soon as it was light
enough to see he knew he was ahead of the train. In five miles we came to the
junction of the Virginia City road. About ten miles farther we came to water,
where we stopped four hours. Several miners from both ways stopped near us.
The country over which we traveled this afternoon has been very rough.
We
climbed up over a very steep, stony hill and camped near a spring at the foot
of the mountain. There was a party of miners and some emigrants from Idaho going
to the States, camped near us.

HELPFUL HINTS FOR KANSAS RESEARCHERS

In July of 1856, a special committee appointed by the U.S. House of
Representatives submitted a report on the "Kansas Troubles." This
report, containing over 20,000 names of early Kansas residents, is
on microfilm at most major universities. In 1984 an index to these
names was created by Robert A. Hodge, 417 Pelham Street,
Fredericksburg, Virginia 22401 in honor of his great grandfather,
Hammond Clark Muzzy. This index is in book form.
Mr. Hodge has indexed the names exactly as they appear 1n the
Committee Report. Therefore, one must be creative in thinking of
alternative spellings of a family surname. Your editor found her
COREL family in this report under the following spellings: CORRELL,
CURL, CARE, CARLL, CAROL, CARLES, CARROLL, CORL and CORAL.

This American speech ... is at least two centuries old. It was recognized in the
colonies even before the War of Independence, and identified at first in ethnic
rather than regional terms, as "Scotch-Irish speech." In the backcountryit
rapidly became so dominant that other ethnic stocks in this region adopted it
as their own. As early as 1772, a newspaper advertisement reported a runaway
African slave named Jack who was said to "speak the Scotch-Irish dialect."
The earliest recorded examples of this "Scotch-Irish" speech were strikingly
similar to the language that is spoken today in the southern highlands, and has
become familiar throughout the western world as the English of country western
singers, . transcontinental truckdrivers ~ cinematic cowboys and backcountry
politicians.
