I �'" '1£ FAJRMERS ANNUAL FESTIVAL FOR DOU6LAS COUNTY THE BAB" SHOW! \' The great event of the first day was the baby show, which took place at 2 o'clock. In the center of the circular building a stand had been erected for the purpose of exhibiting the little jewels. For the finest baby under one year old, there were twenty-one entries, and a handsome lot of babies they were, too. Douglas County can excel in babies. She ought to be proud of her babies. The mothers are, at all events, and we would not be certain but some of the fathers exult a little. There is something pleasant in the thought of having a baby that can compete for a prize, even should the prize not be won. Babies are jewels that belong to well-regulated families, and there was a good many well-regulated families on the grounds yesterday. The babies under one year that competed yesterday belonged, respectively, to the households of Mrs. Robert STEELE, Mrs. W. M. HOULTON, Mrs. N. OLIN, Mrs. 1. W. SCHULTZ, Mrs. 1. W. GOODHUE, Mrs. Daniel FREEMAN, Mrs. W. H. WILLETTS, Mrs. Ino. WEBBER, Mrs. A. B. KELLOGG, Mrs. Ionathan WEAVER, Mrs. Ino. DUMOT, Mrs. Pleasant mATT, Mrs. R M. PHll.,LIPS, Mrs. C. RALLSTON, Mrs. S. TIERS, Mrs. D. T. MITCHELL, Mrs. R .D. ADAMS, Mrs. D.W. LITTELL, and Mrs. C. A. FARIS. As the hour of two o'clock approached, twenty-one anxious mothers petted the little darlings, and wondered how the blue ribbons would look when attached to theirs, the premium baby. The superintendent of Class "0" felt the fearful responsibility that was upon him. The awarding committee consisted of Gov. HARVEY, Dr. WRIGHT, Maj. MCGLAUGHLIN, Mrs. 1. W. CLOCK and Mrs. BALDWIN. The committee set about their work, and after examining the babies and taking their names, held a consultation of some half an hour. The question to decide was a diffic~t one. How could they please one mother and displease twenty others. No jury ever deliberated more cautiously upon the fate of a fellow mortal. The decision was finally made in favor of Mortimer Clair LITTELL, a bright little boy seven and a half months old. EXCERPTED FROM TIlE WESTERN HOME JOURNAL SEPTEMBER t4, t~7t THE PIONEER, VOL.

Paul Mary Ferreror Ponziglione di Borgo d'ALES, a Jesuit priest, a descendant of the royal Italian families, GUERRAS and PONZIGLIONES, began his missionary labors in Southeastern Kansas, and in 1857 established a missionary station at Prairie City, Kansas. This is the first record we have of any permanent Catholicity in or near the City of Baldwin. THE EARLY CATIIOLIC cnURCH RECTORY In West Baldwin . ......_J The mission comprised about fifteen families, being mostly immigrants from Ireland and France . In 1859, Father SCHACHT built a small stone church about 20 x 30 feet at a cost of about $400.00. The title of the church was The Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. In 1870, Rev. Felix SWENBERGH, the successor of Father PERRIER, built a parochial residence adjoining the church. This was a two story building 18 x 34 feet, built of stone, cost about $600.00. Part of the ruins still stand. Here in the priest's house a small Catholic school was maintained for a short time. Instruction was given by a lay teacher. The parish in 1870 numbered about fifty (50) families, still mostly French and Irish nationality. The old church was now too small for the increasing congregation, and in 1893, Rev. Joseph A. POMPENEY, D.D. collected $1500.00 for a new church. This new church, located in West Baldwin, is a frame structure 30 x 50 feet, seating about 200 people, and cost about $1800, and is still used as the parish church of Baldwin. In 1907, Rev. O. E. DEGAN buH t an addi tion to the church, 14 x 28 feet, consisting of two rooms for the accommodation of the priest whilst in Baldwin. Father DEGAN also decorated the interior of the church-and added a gallery for the choir. Altogether improvements amounting to $3000.00 were made during the pastorate of Father DEGAN (1907 to 1910). On Easter Sunday, 1918, Rev. Thaddeus BARTTRO was appointed pastor of Ottawa and Baldwin. During this time of Father BARTTRO's pastorate, until he was succeeded by Father Cowel O'NEAL in 1934, Annunciation Church at Baldwin was redecorated inside and outside and other needed improvements costing in all about $1000.00 were made. In 1937, Father Lorenz RIETH, was appointed to care for the Baldwin Mission. The church was again redecorated inside and outside, new light fixtures and a furnace were installed and other improvements made all at a cost of about $3000.00. In 1952, Rev. Paul W. MILLER was appointed pastor of Eudora Parish and Baldwin Mission. And in 1956 a new Hammond Electric Organ was installed. THE PIONEER. VOL. XVIII. No. 3 -47- �ANNUNCIATION PARISH continued In 1964, the two rooms adjoining the south side of the church were removed and a 30 x 30 foot frame building with basement was built. Also city water and sewer connections were made. It is used for Religious Instructions, meetings, and social activities. In August 1966 Father Thomas A. KEARNS was appointed pastor of the Edgerton Parish and Baldwin Mission. About 30 family units are involved in the Baldwin Catholic community at this time. In all, improvements of about $6,000 have been made during the pastorate of Father KEARNS. In August 1970, Father Richard BURGER was appointed Pastor of Edgerton Parish and Baldwin Mission.

CONJUGATING NAMES - The Art of Finding Your Lost Family ~know what our family name was. But the census taker and the indexer and the judge either heard the name differently or spelled it differently. Our puzzle is to figure out what they did with our names! I have two systems for name-hunting: very simply, a vowel system and a consonant system. The vowel system is obvious. If the name begins with a consonant, I try the name systematically with a,e,i,o and u. My Irishsounding Douglas County "LaHay" family were really st. Genevieve Co., Missouri "Lihaise"s, (which accounts for the fact that they all had French g·iven names.) Toussaint Lihaise became Townsend LaHay in Douglas County, his son Francois Lihaise became Frank LaHay. The consonant system is based on the Soundex coding: if the surname begins with a P, I see what other consonants have the same code on the soundex (in this case B) -- and by applying it to my "Puckett" family, which seemed not to have been enumerated if one judged from the Kansas 1860 Census index, I found them listed as "Bucketts", a name so far off that without this system I never would have thought to look under a "B". The most valuable lesson I have learned in my 10 years of researching is to be methodical, a trait which doesn't come naturally to me but which I force upon myself because I see it produce r~sults. Doing what I call "Conjugating my Names· gives me a pretty complete list of name possibilities. Systematic checking eliminates the need for doing things twice -- and gives me a good laugh sometimes!

On 8 Jan 1857 in Livingston County, Illinois he married Martha L. STRANGER of said county. In February 1860 until August 1860 in Douglas County, Kansas, and at diverse times defendant committed adultery with one Gardner RICHARDS and that S1nce that time she left petitioner and he believes she resides at West Bend in Wisconsin. Subpoenas issued for George MORDECAI, Cyrus H. RICHARDS, Mary RICHARDS, Xenophan RICHARDS. Witnesses for defendant: George MORDECAI, William BRYMAN and Mrs. BRYMAN. Answer: She denies any and all material allegations because: Plaintiff has no right to ask court for the decree demanded because plaintiff did at the town of West Bend in Wisconsin and at various other places in July 1865 and at various other times commit wilful, open and notorious adultery. Asks court to dismiss petition and she recover costs. Letter: " ... 1 am not guilty of the cause brought against me by Oscar G. RICHARD and furthermore swear that I did not leave the said Oscar G. RICHARD with my own will and that he drove me from my home and also my children without cause or provocation and that the said Oscar G. RICHARD sa,id he did not love me and did not want to live with me for a cause that is unknown to me, for I love the said Oscar RICHARD with true virtuous love and would rather have suffered everything, even death, than to have left him. Oscar G. RICHARD was jealous of me in the summer of 1866 but not as he has stated in the petition with one Gardner RICHARDS, but he solemnly forgave me for so doing and we have lived together seven years since, til the 5 of July when he came home and said he did not love me and did not want to live with me and if I would give him a divorce he would divide the property and give me half and give me money to take me to my friends, but I did not want to go and can prove it by 8 or so different persons and that I am willing to live with the said Oscar G. RICHARDS as long as I live, but the said Oscar R. RICHARDS drove me from him without no other cause than he said he did not love me. Therefore I shall not answer said peti tion in favor of the petitioner and since I cam away he wants to slander my character and also to take my property from me and leave me a helpless creature without anything to help myself and children. I am living under the doctor's care with a lame limb and he knows that I am not capable of taking care of myself and shall, if it is in my power and the law can do justice by me, to make him take care of me and my children as long as he shall live unless he will sign over 1/2 of the property to me, then if it must be so I will give him a bill of divorce but would rather live and enjoy life happily with him than do so and if there is any mercy in heaven and justice in law I hope I shall receive my just dues.

' Defendant files answer: denies all allegations -52- THE PIONEER, VOL. XVIII, No. 3 �WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO ____ _ GILES PARMAN By Lena Mae Hanneman 1959 permission of Garnett Parman Bettancourt of Condon, Oregon On May 14th, 1882, my father, Francis Marion SHANNON, and my mother, Ella Nora MYERS were married in Neodasha, Kansas. On May 17th, three days later, they, with Uncle Giles and Aunt Betty PARMAN and their five children started for Oregon in covered wagons drawn by mule teams. The Parman children were Julia, age nine years, Ethelyn, Helen, George and Lloyd, a babe 1n arms. They started from Dunn's Station, a small place on Fall River, near Neodasha. Uncle Giles sold his small farm of 80 acres and decided to come to Oregon. He had two covered wagons drawn by four mule teams. One of these teams was driven by my father. A Mr. and Mrs. Ham ODEM and two children left Neodasha the same day, headed for the west. Mr. ODEM was a blacksmith by trade and was a very handy man to join the party. They came from Dunn's Station through to Wichita, Kansas, then turned almost west along the Arkansas River and Santa Fe railroad to Dodge City, Kansas. The state of Kansas went prohibition in 1881, but that didn't have much effect in the far west. The city was wide open. They stopped at one of the saloons to get a drink of beer. While there, two men walked in with a Winchester rifle, two pistols or revolvers and knives in their boots and started shooting because the service was too slow. People from the surrounding country brought their large herds of cattle to Dodge City to be shipped out to Chicago. There was a herd of 5,000 waiting to be shipped, and many very rough looking cowboys were working at looking after this large herd, all with guns strapped on them. While the party that was headed west was camped at Dodge City, a terrible hail storm came up, causing the mules to stampede. The folks had to grab their bedding and put it over their heads to keep from getting hurt, the hail stones were so large. From Dodge City they turned north to Colorado Springs and camped near the foot of Pike's Peak. They went from there to Denver, then to Fort Collins where they were joined by a Mr. and Mrs. James SCOTT. The next stop was Laramie City, which joined the Old Oregon Trail. They stayed six weeks at Laramie City because of an Indian scare. While there, Uncle Giles' mules got away from him and it took nearly the six weeks to find them, as they had started back home. He was gone most of that time, which caused much worry and anxiety for the rest of the part. The Indians were on the warpath and they were afraid Uncle Giles might have been killed. The next town was Granpere and the towns from then on were very small to Boise City, Idaho. The Oregon Short-line was being built from Boise to Baker, Baker to LaGrande, LaGrande back to Baker. THE PIONEER, VOL. XVIII, No. 3 -53- �CROSSING THE PLAIN, continued From there the party went to Bully Creek country in Malheur County. By this time it was getting cold and fall-like, near the middle of November. So they decided to winter on the head of Indian Creek which empties into Bully Creek. Here they found one deserted cabin, so Uncle Giles PARMAN, with the help of my father and the two other men built two more cabins out of juniper logs. One was just a small cabin and the other was 30 feet long by 14 feet wide with a fireplace in one end made out of rock and mud. The cracks in the cabins were filled with mud to keep the cold out, and the floors were dirt packed down as solid as they could make them. That winter was a cold hard one, ps the snow was very deep and heavy. When it began to melt in the spring, the roof on the large cabin caved in, flooding the place. This was the first Chinook they had ever seen. The men were busy all winter making posts, but didn't know what they were g01ng to do with them. In the spring of 1883, my father and mother went to work for the Great Cattle Co. "Miller & Lux." My father rode for the cattle and did whatever there was to do, and my mother cooked for the crew of men and cowboys. Sometimes she would have 30 or more for a meal. The ranch was very large -- one could get on a horse at Harper's and ride to Sacramento, California and still be on their ranch. Miller & Lux bought 4,000 posts from the men and Uncle Giles delivered them. While my father and mother were there working, they received a letter from my Grandfather MYERS, my mother's father, and the father of Uncle Elgin and Uncle Walter, the only two of the original MYERS family still living. My Grandfather had sold his place in Kansas and wanted to come West and join their daughter and son-in-law (my father and mother,) who had come West as bride and groom the early summer before. On March 2nd, 1883, Sarah Elizabeth SHANNON was born in the big log cabin. She was my oldest sister, the first of 8 children. In the early fall of that year, Grandfather and Grandmother MYERS and their 7 boys (oldest 16) and one girl Cora, the youngest of the family, age 2 years, left Kansas to join their oldest child, my mother, who was 17 years old when she married and my father was 20. Two other families came with them. However, they did not suffer the hardships my parents did, as they came to the nearest railroad station, Mountain Home, Idaho, by train, then took a stage to Boise City, Idaho, where Uncle Giles and my father met them in two covered wagons and brought them to Malheur County. From there that same fall, they moved and wintered on Hoover Creek, this side of Fossil. In the early spring of 1884, my father and mother went back to their camp on Indian Creek to look after the camp mules and a cow and a garden, while Uncle Giles took a team of mules and a hack to go on a scouting trip to see where they might like to settle. He went to Baker, LaGrande, Pendleton and then to Summit Springs, later known as Condon. The entire country was covered with sagebrush and tall waving grass. After looking the country over, Uncle Giles decided he liked Summit Springs better than anything he had seen on his trip. -54- THE PIONEER, VOL. XVIII, No. 3 �CROSSING THE PLAIN, continued By this time, they had moved back to the Fossil Country all eager to get settled in a place of their own. Grandfather MYERS, my father and Uncle Giles filed on their homesteads this same spring. They were also entitled to what was known as a timber culture, which consisted of 1670 acres, one quarter of railroad land (160 acres) and a preemption at $1.25 per acre. Each could own 640 acres. Uncle Giles' first wife, Aunt Betty, died in childbirth two years after they had settled on their homesteads. Twins were born, a boy and a girl. The boy lived to be 9 months old. The girl was buried with her mother. It was the first, or one of the first, graves in the Condon cemetery. Aunt Betty was alone with her children when she started labor. Julia, age 11 years, got on a horse to go for my mother and got lost in the fog at night. By the time my mother arrived. Aunt Betty was dead. The families had a very hard time for many years. After Aunt Betty's death, Uncle Giles would go out to work with his teams, leaving the five small children on the homestead weeks at a time. The neighbors would go to see them whenever they could. My father too was away from home working to get provisions to feed his family. He worked at Parker's Mill in Fossil until the spring of 1885, then came home and settled on his homestead. He had earned $500. By that time, he was the father of two children, as Lee was born the fall of 1884. The spring that they all filed on their homesteads, there was only one house and a barn at Summit Springs. A man by the name of POTTER lived there. Many changes have come about during the years from 1882 to 1919. My grandfather's place has changed hands several times. The POTTERs own it now. My father owned and lived on his ranch until 1947, when he passed away at the age of 85. My mother passed away in the spring of 1920 at the early age of 55 years. Strange to say, my father's ranch still remains in the SHANNON family. My brother Walter owns it, and his son Jack and wife Jeannie and their 4 children live on it. (They've had a fifth child since this original report.) Likewise the PARMAN ranch has always remained in the PARMAN family. Uncle Giles sold it to his two sons, George and Lloyd, many years ago. Uncle Giles moved to an acreage near Portland where he lived for 26 years. He passed away at the age of 84. His granddaughter, Janet PARMAN KIRKPATRICK and her husband Herbert and children John and Ann own and live on the original homestead today. There are only two of the original Giles PARMAN family living at the present time. Julia May BORGES, age 88, lives at, Bell California, near her daughter Ruby Graves OYERLEESE, and Lloyd, age 81 or 82, living in Eugene, Oregon. NOTE: Uncle Giles PARMAN's father was married to Grandfather MYERS' step sister. In 1893, Uncle Giles married the second time.

XVIII, No. 3 �UNITED METHODIST CHURCH It was on July 22, 1855 that the Baldwin Methodist church was organized. As the group became too large to meet in homes, its meetings were moved to the assembly room of the Old Castle, the first college building of Baker University. Here they met for ten years and many men served as their leaders or pastors. As early as 1863 the congregation had Visions of its own church building and in 1864-65 had purchased lots at Dearborn and 7th. In 1867-68 the Ladies Sewing Circle or Ladies Aid undertook the building of a stone church that cost when completed $6,000. this building served the community as a church until 1885 when the services were moved to the college Chapel in Centenary Hall. At the time Dr. Samuel S. Murphy was the pastor and a new church was needed. During his pastorage of7 years the cornerstone of the brick church was laid by Bishop H. W. Warren on the site of the present church edifice. The building cost $30,000 and was dedicated free of debt Feb. 14, 1904. Through the years the big red brick church has been one of the focal points of Methodists and the people of Baldwin. On Nov. 30, 1930 the church caught fire and burned to the ground. Following the shock of the loss of the church that was such a vital part of the life of the community, plans were made that very day to build a new church. The whole town helped in many unselfish ways. Rev. Wiley A. Keve, the present building of Bedford Sandstone was completed and used first for Baker's Baccalaureate on May 29, 1932. Dr. James Chubb came to Baldwin as the pastor in 1934 and was here until 1942. It was during his ministry that the name of the church was changed from the Methodist Episcopal church to the First Methodist church. During his pastorate the Methodist church and the Methodist South were united. The dedication of the present church building with all the debts paid was made by Bishop Wm C. Martin on May 26, 1946. The Wesleyan Service Guild was organized in 1948; the 100 year anniversary sermon by Bishop Dawson in 1955, the Crop program, the Chex program, the Bulletin Board, designed to carry out the lines of the church erected in 1960; the new pipe organ in 1963 and Markham Memorial Carillon -- all these and more were accomplished by the thoughtful planning and diligent work of the pastor and the congregation. In 1967-68-69-70, the general conference used the facilities of Baldwin and Baker University. During this time in July 18, 1868 the Uniting Service of the union of the United Methodist Church and the Evangelical United Brethren church in Kansas took place in Baldwin. Many people through the years have contributed much to this church. Our pastors have kept to the high ideals established throughout the years. They have counseled our youth; comforted the sick; and they have led us to the source of all wisdom The laymen have given money, time, gifts and effort.

During the very long period from 1629 to 1775, the present area of the United States was settled by at least· four large waves of English-speaking immigrants. The first was an exodus of Puritans from the east of England to Massachusetts during a period of eleven years from 1629 to 1640. The second was the migration of a small Royalist elite and large numbers of indentured servants from the south of England to Virginia (ca. 1642-75). The third was a movement from the North Midlands of England and Wales to the Delaware Valley (ca. 16751725). The fourth was a flow of English-speaking people from the borders of North Britain and northern Ireland to the Appalachian backcountry mostly during the half century from 1718 to 1775. These four groups shared many qualities in common. All of them spoke the English language. Nearly all were British Protestants. Most lived under British laws and took pride in possessing British liberties. At the same time, they also differed from one another in many other ways: in their religious denominations, social ranks, historical generations, and also in the British regions from whence they came. They carried across the Atlantic four different sets of British folkways which became the basis of regional cultures in the New World.

No. 3 �SPJlIJlG TAIlS: THE SClllmVEa FAMILT By Phyllis J. Douglas PAIT 3 Frederick W. SCnmFBI and Louisa TlUDDI. Frederick SCHRIEFER has been the mystery man in our past. He died a young man, left four young children and a widow, Louisa, who also died five years later. Essentially the children were orphans. On the 23rd day of August 1856, Frederick SCHRIEFER appeared in the Spencer County, State of Indiana, Circuit Court and reported himself for naturalization. In this document he stated that he was a native of Hannover, Germany, aged 31 years, that he embarked at Bremen and arrived at Baltimore on the 20th day of November 1'856. This arrival year cannot be correct. The declaration is dated August of 1856. It is my theory that Frederick SCHRIEFER followed the Gerhard Heinrich SCHRIEFER family to the United States, arriving Nov. 20, 1846. Frederick married Louisa TAGONER (this name has been spelled several ways) on August 10, 1848, in Ohio County, Indiana. Ohio County is a tiny county right on the Ohio River and adjacent to Ripley County. Louisa was born in Germany on 18 February 1822, but beyond that I know nothing of her parentage. Their first child, Henry, was born on December 8, 1850. Elizabeth was born ca 1853, then came Susanah ca 1855 and last, our grandfather, John William, on 4 Nov. 1856. On June 25, 1857, from Spencer County, Indiana, Frederick SCHRIEFER wrote his will. It read: "I, Frederick SCHAFER, beleaving that I must shortly depart this life and as it has pleased the Lord to intrust me some worldly estate personally and seal and to affectionate my will and desire that my wife Louisa SCHAFER shall have the right to settle my estate, further I want her to have all my property as long as she lives after my debts are paid. After her death I want my children to have what is left of my estate. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 25th day of June, 1857. Signed: Frederick (X his mark) SCHAFER. Attest: Andrew WETZEL, Henry Schierbaum and Andrew HOOFMIER. The presence of this will tells us that Frederick knew of his impending death. Our grandfather William was only about 7 months old when this will was written. The 1860 Federal Census for Indiana enumerates this family in Spencer County, Clay Township. Frederick is listed as 35 years of age, a farmer and his birthplace as Germany. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - _ . ---- THE PIONEER. VOL. XVIII. No. 3 -65- �TIlE SCIllmVEIl rAMIT continued Louisa is listed as 37 year of age and her birthplace as Germany. The four children are all listed as born in Indiana. Frederick died on 24 August 1861. He was 36 years old and had lived in the United States for only 15 years. His will was recorded in Spencer County on 3 Sept. 1861. He is buried in the Santa Claus German Methodist or Campground Cemetery near Carter Twp. He is listed as Friedrich W. SCHRIEFER in the Spencer County Cemetery Records. Vol. ill. EITEl CIIlISTIAI wmBlBACI In this story we must discuss Christian WYTTENBACH. Initially, he was to me the mean Methodist minister who was the stepfather to Frederick's children. Yet, as I have searched for records on this family, I find that Christian WYTTENBACH probably played a "larger" role in the lives of Frederick, and certainly Louisa, than we will ever knOw. A History of Spencer County, found in the Rockport, Indiana library, gives a history and founding of the German Community and Church, later known as Santa Claus. It states: "In the quarterly conference meeting, held at Boonville, in the fall of 1849, Dietrich HANNING, a Spencer County settler, met Christian WYTTENBACH. Their association became so congenial that Christian WYTTENBACH purchased a farm near the HANNINGS. He fell in love with this community and invited German migrant families to come and buy up the surrounding farm land. He advertised in the "Apologete (Christian Advocate) for migrants. It was his forceful personality that made the Santa Claus church and community an organized unit." Christian WYTTENBACH was the first preacher of Santa Claus, from 1849 to 1851. It is my theory that sometim~ before 1854, from Ohio or Ripley County, Frederick and Louisa, Gerhard Henry, Ernst, John H. and Henry SCHRIEFER answered Christian WYTTENBACHs call and located in Santa Claus. WYTTENBACH left Santa Claus in 1851 and continued his ministry as a circuit preacher in Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky until 1863. At that time, he was a widower, with nine children. He returned to Santa Claus and married Louisa SCHRIEFER on 29 Sept. 1863. WYTTENBACH and Louisa had one son, Edward, who was born ca 1864. Louisa died on 19 Aug. 1866. She is buried with Frederick in the Santa Claus German Methodist or Campground Cemetery and is listed in the Spencer County Cemetery -66- THE PIONEER, VOL. XVIII, No. 3 �TlB Bellm'BI FAMILTcontinued Records, Vol. ill as Mary Louise SCHRIEFER, wife of Frederick, 44 years, 6 months and 1 day old. It was over a year later, on 10 October 1867, that Andrew WETZEL was named legal guardian of the children (Henry, Lizzie, Susana and William SCHRIBER) and property (worth one thousand dollars) of Frederick SCHRIBER (note spelling). The guardian's bond and oath was made out to Andrew WETZEL and Henry SHEIRBAUM and signed by both. I can find no evidence that any of the children lived in the household of either of these guardians. Only Elizabeth is enumerated in the 1870 census in the home of Christian WYTTENBACH and his third wife Mary. On Nov. 17, 1873, Henry SCHRIEFER (Frederick and Louisa's oldest son) and his wife Natalie, Elizabeth (Lizzie) and Susan SCHRIEFER sold about 40 acres of Land for $410 to Henry SCHRIEBAUM. On that same day Susan SCHRIEFER sold 22 acres to Henry SCHRIEFER, the son of Gerhard Heinrich, for $180. On October 28, 1874, Andrew WETZEL, guardian of the children, reported to the . Spencer County Circuit Court on his guardianship and asked to be relieved of the guardianship of Henry, who was by then 24 years old and married; Elizabeth who was about 21 and Susie, who was about 19. He stated that the real estate had been divided among them and that his ward William owned about one acre that made it necessary for him to continue his guardianship to look after the land and the taxes. At this time William would be almost 17 years old. When AI and I were in Spencer County, Indiana last October, we were able, with the help of the County Clerk to locate Frederick's land. It is now adjacent or part of a golf course in Santa Claus. We also visited the Santa Claus German Methodist Cemetery. The church is still active, however the building is a newer one. We were determined to find Frederick and Louisa's graves. However, using the information we had, we discovered that now the gravestones are down, but we were able to step off fairly closely where the sites were. They are buried under a big tree. Most likely the roots of the tree pushed the gravestones out of the ground. Christian WYTTENBAUCH and his third wife, Mary, are also buried there. They have quite a large and noticeable marker. There are more markers for SCHRIEFERS SCHIERBAUMS and WETZELS than I could count. Funny after doing all the searching on this family it was kind of "old home week" in the Santa Claus German Methodist Cemetery. ------- THE PIONEER, VOL. XVIII, No. 3 -67- -- - �TlB BellmVBI FAMILT continuod Frederick and Louisa's oldest child, Henry, married Natalie SURMAN on 9 June 1873. Natalie was born 26 Oct. 1851 in Texas. Her parents, Chades and Doris SURMAN were born in Germany, but they came to Santa Claus, Indiana about 1865. Essentially Henry and Natalie were neighbors. They had five children, John William, Elmer, Elfreda, Wayne and Susan. Both Henry and Natalie lived and died in Spencer County in the Township of Grass. Henry died on July 6, 1912. Henry's death record states that his father was Fred S. and that his mother was Elizabeth TEGNOR. On that record, Henry's last name is spelled with an "F". Natalie died August 21, 1926. They are both buried in the German Evangelical Cemetery, which is near Chrisney, Indiana. Also buried there are Elfreda, who died as a child, and Elmer, who died at the age of33. The cemetery is now gone, or covered with vegetation. It was impossible to find. John William and his wife are buried in a small cemetery in Christney (sic) Indiana. There is not much known about Elizabeth SCHRIEFER. The 1870 census enumerates Elizabeth as 18 years old and living with Christian WYTTENBACK family. She appears again in the sale of her land in 1873. That is the last record of "Aunt Lizzie." Susannah SCHRIEFER went to KansaslMissouri perhaps with our grandfather William, about 1880. She married a Charlie Johnson and they had no children. However, Aunt Susie played a big role in the lives of William's children (especially the younger children) in that she came to North Dakota after Nannie died and helped to take care of the family. She and Charlie were living in Belton, Missouri when William moved there in 1917 and while I do not have a record of her death, I know that she died in Belton after 1930. AlDIBW PIDBBBTBL AID MATILDA I. MATlBT Nancy K PROEBSTEL married our grandfather, William. Nancy's father, Andrew, was born in Germany on 26 Dec. 1822. He married Matilda Jane MATNEY on 8 Oct. 1850 in Westport, Jackson County, Missouri. They are enumerated (as PROPSTALL) on a ' Federal Census for Clay County, Missouri, 1850 and dated Nov. 1850. Living in the household was Andrew's mother, Katherine, age 68, born in Germany. This same census record enumerates a brother, John, age 24, and two brothers who appear to be twins, age 20 (one is Frederick, the other name is unreadable). Then living as neighbors are Jacob PROPSTALL, age 35, his wife and five children' , Valentine . PROPSTALL, his wife and five children and Vendall PROPSTALL, age 28 and his wife. It is interesting that Valentine PROEBSTEL married Malinda MATNEY, daughter of William Matney (Charles MATNEY's uncle) in Westport, Jackson County, Missouri, August 5, 1842. --- ------- -- ----------------- -68- THE PIONEER, VOL.

Louisa, Charles and Margaret were born in Missouri and undoubtedly in Clay County. Nancy and Emma were born in Kansas. The family is enumerated in the Kansas 1870 Federal Census as living in Wyandotte County, Shawnee Twp. It is interesting that Andrew PROEBSTEL bought land in what was then Kansas Territory, on February 27, 1860 from George BIGKNIFE, who was a Shawnee Indian. These lands were given to George BIGKNIFE by the U. S. Government and he sold them while Kansas was still a territory and the land under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Later, in 1861 Andrew bought the land from George Q.A. and Susan MATNEY. George was the brother ofMatilda._ Andrew PROEBSTEL died 30 March 1895. Matilda MATNEY PROEBSTEL died 1 December 1915 in Argentine, Kansas. She was buried on 2 December in the Maple Hill Cemetery in Argentine. Louisa married Ed POINTER She was living with her parents with her two children, Charles and Edward in 1880 and 1885. In the 1885 census Louisa is listed as divorced. Charles PROEBSTEL married Mary (last name unknown). They had two daughters, Edna and Anna. William and Nannie named their youngest daughters for Charles' daughters. Margaret PROEBSTEL married Byron CLARK. They eventually moved to Los Angeles. Emma PROEBSTEL married IW. PARKER They had four children, Emmett, Velma, Diana and Robert.

PIDIBSTBL William was four years old when his father died and not yet nine when his mother died. He told his children that by the time he was nine years old, he had a stepfather and a stepmother. He talked about his stepfather (WYTTENBACH) who treated the SCHRIEFER children badly after their mother died. William told his children that he grew up in Christney and that he went to live with an uncle when WYTTENBACH treated him badly. However, I have been unable to locate William, Susie or Henry on an 1870 census living in the home of "anyone. " y-- -- \ .. To Be Continued \ \ _ _L .-00_' _ _~_ __ THE PIONEER, VOL. XVIII, No. 3 -69- t. _ .. �To describe a baptizing affair as late as the 24th of November, when the earth's crusfis completely frozen over and a thin thickness of ice in the Wakarusa creek, would be impossible. Such an event took place on the day above named in the creek half a mile down the stream, where seven were baptized in four feet of water and six inches of clear mud as a basis for the minister and candidate to stand upon. The candidates belong to Elder Hulburt's number of converts from Kanwaka schoolhouse. A long train of country people started from the school room in the morning near noon and took up their line of march southward to the muddy waters of the Wakarusa, where it was published that the ordinance of baptism would be administered. A keen northwest wind was blowing a perfect gale with the thermometer at zero. Shawls and overcoats were in use by male and female and buttoned and wrapped close around to keep the chilling cold away. When the Kanwaka train arrived at the still waters there was an equal number on the bank to welcome them to the place.
