It does seem so at times, for the town is not a news-making center and incidents of a sensational character are very few. But even with these conditions, there is something happen(ing) in Lawrence in the course of a year, or even in the course of a month, a week, and almost in the course of every day. When one looks back over the files of the local newspapers the number of events that have been recorded is astonishgly large for a twelve month (period), and so it was during the last year. A review of Lawrence from a historical standpoint, as made in the following chronological summary, gleaned from the files of the Journal, gives a pretty fair idea of the activity of the town, and shows that things are not as quiet as they seem, and that there is something going on all the time. The summary of past events herewith given will be a matter of much interest to most readers of the Journal, and may prove a valuable reference slip for coming weeks and months, when it is desired to look back and see on just what date a certain event occured. The chronology is not as complete as it should be, but the limitations of time and space have curtailed the work so that it might be given in as brief a manner as possible, but the leading events in the history of the last twelve months are pretty well recorded.

HART and Rev. Mrs. HART departed this life Sunday, July 15, 1905, aged 22 years, 5 mos., 27 days. He was born in Washington County, Kansas. The family moved to Lecompton when Calvin was quite a small boy. He attended Hig~ School this year until the last of February, when his health began to fail. He had to dispence his studies which he hoped to resume later on. But he gradually grew weaker and became bedfast about a week before his death. His demise came as a shock to the entire community. H()wever,we must bow to the will of Him who doeth all things well. Calvin was a young man of very exemplary habits and was liked by all who knew him. He was gifted with intelligence above the average,and being very ambitious no doubt had he lived could have made his mark in the world. He was a member of the Radical U.B. Church at the time of his death. Was converted at the age of ten years, and renewed his covenant with the Lord about two years ago in a revival held in this town. Friends and neighbors extend sympathy' to the bereaved family. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. Reis, assisted by Rev.

Sitting just off U.S. Highway 240 about halfway between Lawrence and Tonganoxie, Reno has seen its fortunes rise and fall during the years, but its church remains the community's heartbeat. From pionee'r evangelist Sam Kelsall in 1867 to the Rev. Dave Petersen today, many men of the cloth preached at the little settlement-to all kinds of people. Now, just 20 parishoners are on the church's membership role, although a few more families regularly attend services but never have joined. FRANCES KORB of Tonganoxie, longtime member and President of the church's Ladies Aid Society, said other loyal supporters live outside the area and cannot attend the church but they help financially. Like many in today's congregation, she said, they are descendants of Reno settlers, and may even have attended the church as a child. Next Sunday, a Reno Country Folks Reunion is planned to bring back many of these folks, as well as local familiites with connections to the community and church. Organized by Norman Hemphill, whose father was a Reno settler, the reunion will be at the church, beginning at 9:30 a.m. Richard Kelsall of Phoenix, a great-grandson of the church's founder, will preach the sermon. A catered dinner will follow. Mrs. Korb said the congregation hopes donations from the event will help pay for having the church painted, the only maintenance work that currently needs to be done. ONE RECENT Sunday, a dozen churchgoers-four men and eight womenlistened as Petersen, who also is pastor at Tonganoxie United Methodist Church, offered a sermon on the importance of showing love through actions and words. Hazel Metzger played the organ, and taught the Sunday School lesson after the church service; Arnold Torneden handled the offertory; and everyone sang, the ministe~s booming voice carrying above the older voices of his small flock. Petersen also took time during the service to chat with congregation members about their lives during the past week, about progress on getting the church painted, and about events during the previous week. One of the events, in Tonganoxie, honored one of that town's patronesses, 97-year8 THE PIONEER, VOL XVX, No.1 �old Florence Riford, who had paid a visit from her home in California. DThat was quite a shindig you folks put on Monday night," Petersen said of the recognition celebration, held at the Florence Riford Senior Center in Tonganoxie. DI was impressed. Three-fourths of Reno was there. You folks are strong leadership there. I was real proud." They talked for a few minutes about Mrs. Riford, and then brought one another up to date on their own families and on ailing friends in the. community. Petersen returned to his pulpit, offered a prayer of thanksgiving for family, friends and the community of faith, and they all mited the Lord's Prayer together. Evangelist Kelsall would -have enjoyed the service. Back in the 1860s, he preached first under a tree in Reno, and then in a waiting room at the town's railroad station, _according to fiistorles of the church and a town researched and written by Mrs. Korb, who was born near the community and lived there both as a child and an adult. Later, Kelsall presented his sermons in a one-room building called "The Chapel House," and in 1890, he donated land for a real church as well as a school and cemetery. The first church was built in 1891 by the settlers, who worshiped together despite different faiths and language barriers. Today, congregation members still point out that Kelsall and his early-day successors had remarkably diverse congregations. Among the settlers were Irish, Scottish, German, French and English immigrants, as well as railroad workers, American Indians and former slaves. Reno is situated on what once -was Delaware Indian land, Mrs. Korb's history reveals, and an Indian camp on nearby Nine Mile Creek drew many native Americans on their way to relocation in Indian Territory. At the end of the Civil War, a number of former soldiers and 400 freed slaves settled in Reno Township. At the church's dedication Aug. 16, 1891, the superintendent of a -blind asylum in Kansas City, Rev. Allen Buckner, preached a sermon and informed the congregation that $700 still was needed to finish paying for the building and furniture, which cost a total of $1,900. MRS. KORB'S history notes that although the congregation, which numbered 220 that day, already had given generously, $500 was raised at the morning service -and the balance that evening. The church was debt-free at its opening. Evangelist Kelsall never preached in the church he founded. Instead, its first minister was John Jacobs, a Baptist who was a blacksmith in Reno. From the earliest days, Mrs. Korb and Petersen noted, the community's social life, as well as its spiritual life, centered on the THE PIONEER, VOL XVX, No.1 9 �church. Bazaars were held in the fall and oyster suppers in the winter. Spelling bees, plays, box suppers and lectures, including one by Bishop Quayle ·of· Baker University, also were staged, and Thanksgiving dinners and annual homecomings were held each November. Today, the homecomings are still held, in October, and there's a Christmas gettogether. For the first time this year, they didn't hold an Easter breakfast, which has been a tradition. IN 1918, the first church burned, Mrs. Korb wrote, but the community -Many of the early families had rallied quickly to deal with the shock. intermarried and the church they lost had become a part of their lives, she wrote, so they immediately decided to build and pay for a new church, just as they had in 1891. In the early 1900s, the women of the church formed the Ladies Aid Society to further promote lithe financial, social and general well-being of the church. Mrs. Korb has the secretary/treasurer's book from. 1915 to 1925, and among the endeavors recorded there are ice cream socials, plays, watermelon feeds and chicken frys. The women put on election dinners, made quilts and dresses, and held -hen parties, where every woman .brought a laying hen to sell. Their efforts helped pay for songbooks, insurance and coal for the church, as well as ·the minister's salary. The women also spent time on charity work, including making 40 little dresses for children in wartorn Europe, packing 42 dozen eggs for Bethany Hospital in Kansas City, and sending a box of dressed chickens and canned fruit to the Deaconess School in Kansas City. II U U BACK IN THE church's heyday, during the late 1940s and 1950s, summer Bible School sessions drew 300 children; today, there are no Bible School classes. Indeed, the youngest member of the congregation is 65. As the children moved away, Petersen said, many of the older folks left their farms to retire in Tonganoxie, but -they can still go back to the church. Everybody kind of feels at home in their nitch. a He said that. in the past 20 years, the congregation has had a number of student pastors from St. Paul's Seminary in Kansas City, but three or four years ago, they went back to working with the Tonganoxie Methodist Petersen has been their minister, something they'd done much· earlier. pastor since June, and he said that although they regularly invite new people moving into the area to attend church, those attempts have not met with success. Most .p~ople· m~ving to the suburbs, he noted, aren't interested in joining something new. In fact, many want to cut back on such commitments. Despite the lack of growth, Petersen said, members of the Reno 10 THE PIONEER, VOL XVX, No.1 �congr~gati~n don't worry about their church's future, or how long they will be able to keep the doors open. Instead, he said, they continue to invest in the building and to maintain their relationships with one another and those loyal to the church who are unable to be a part of the congregation each Sunday. aThe attitude is, a he said, ato live it as it goes along. n Lawrence Journal World May 7, 1989 ~ It's A Wending· ~ The wedding of Mr. Arthur H.
