It wil1 be sponsored by the Kansas Authors Club and the Douglas County Genealogical Society. It will be from 9:30am to 4:30pm, with an hour from 12 to 1 for lunch on your own. Enrollment is first come, and the fee is $45. The auditorium will seat 100 people, so enroll early. There will be application information in the Osma Room and from the Kansas Authors Club. Charley Kempthorne has been teaching people how to write about their lives since 1976, when he started the first "reminiscence'workshop" in the nation. Like many students in his workshops, he has been a writer all of his life, keeping a diary as a child and using his earnings from farm work to buy a typewriter at the age of 11. He painted the keys of the typewriter with luminous paint so that he could write after his parents said lights out. (It didn't work.) Charley has degrees in writing and history from the University of Kansas, as well as an M.F.A. from the famed Iowa Writer's Workshop at the University ofIowa. A fonner college professor, farmer, and painting contractor, in 1991 he founded the LifeStory Institute and, with his wife, LifeStory Magazine, which he has edited ever since. June Fritz Kempthorne grew upon a Kansas farm. In college she won prizes for her art, exhibited in several national shows and won the Governor's Prize at.Kansas State University, where she took a B.F.A. in printmaking in 1972. F or many years she owned and operated a ' paperhanging and painting business. Co-founder with her husband, Charley, of LifeStory Magazine, she is now the art director and publisher. June assists in the workshops in many capacities, and presents a segment on how to layout and design one's writing and photographs for publication. Together she and her husband have presented workshops in more than twenty states and Canada. There is a complete file of LifeStory Magazine in the Osma Room, donated by Gene Bovee. Barb Seiwald, who works at the Douglas County Title Company, will speak to us about "Abstracts of Douglas County," on Saturday, May 6, at the Lawrence Pub1ic Library. She has been instrumental in getting many Douglas County abstracts to the Society. She has used these abstracts to :(urther her genealogical research and will share a lot of this information with us. SOME NEWS ITEMS FROM THE WEB These items come from Ancestry Weekly Digest, accessed at <http://www.ancestry.com>. Save 2000 Census information for future genealogists. Don't make your descendants wait seventy-two years to see your 2000 census information. Photocopy the form before you mail it back and place the copy in your genealogy files. -Jim Guth. Misspellings. When ordering a vital record (birth. death. marriage, etc.), it is always important to list any 3 �possible variations in the spelling ofthe surname that you would like them to check. I recently ordered a death record for my great grandfather, Wi1liam Henry Hortman, who died in 1920. I was quite disappointed when a letter came back saying no record was found, although I knew the specific date and place where he died. Someone urged me to try different combinations of his name. I knew that I had seen Hortman misspelled as Hartman on some documents, So called the records office back and asked them to check it as Hartman. Bingo! Although the name on the· death record itself was spelled correctly, the index had it misspelled as Hartman. The clerk explained that she had checked various spellings on the reel of microfilm where Hortman was listed, but Hartman was on another roll and she would never have thought to check it if! hadn't requested it. -Judy Reed. Adding biographical text. Recently I decided to put all my family tree information into narrative form so that it would be easy to understand for my non-genealogist relatives. I printed a five-generation chart and then, going numerically, wrote a short narration for each person on the chart. I included source information right in the text, writing the census information exactly as the family was listed. I intended on making this easy for my family to understand, but it has benefited me immensely. Instead of looking through separate files for birth, marriage, wills, etc., I can simply look at my narrative and it is all there together. I included where I had looked and whether or not there . were records found. This project has made it very easy to see if I have overlooked certain search options for that individual. I have saved the information on my hard drive and on a disk, and so updating the narrative will be easy. I wish I had done this a long time ago. -Brenda. Census page copies payoff When doing census .work, be sure to copy the whole page and not just abstract your family. I did just that the other day and it paid off. When 1 got home 1 was looking through the Ancestral File and found the family along with a listing of brothers and sisters of the gentleman I was looking for. I got out my copied census and who was two houses away? None other that his married sister. I got two families with one push of the copy button. -Janet Newell Rootsweb Review and Missing Links Myra Vanderpool Gormley and Julia Case are the creators of theSe "e-zines."

Her daughter, Kathryn Jeanette Bunton, Lawrence resident (born here in 1912) and longtime member of the Douglas County Genealogical Society, indexed the contents and has recently presented them to the Society for its collection in the Lawrence Public Library. Here are the general subjects, by volume. Beulah's family, in part,begins in the U.S. with the immigration of George Bunker to New England about 1650. The family then settled on Nantucket Island. A prominent relative was Dr. Alice Bunker Stockham (1833-1912), the fifth American woman to earn a M.D. degree, whose brother David Bunker (1830-1905) moved to Lawrence in 1890 to be an instructor at Haskell Indian Institute. David's son Charles Dean Bunker (1870-1948) began working for KU's Natural History Museum in 1895, and his ashes are scattered outside the museum; his grandson Charles Harry ("Chuck") Warner is president of the Lawrence's Mercantile Bank. Another cousin of Kathryn is Thomas Beisecker, professor of communication studies at KU. These volumes contain miscellaneous clippings about Nantucket and other places of the family's roots, but also excerpts of the genealogy professionally prepared in New York by the Lewis Historical Publishing Co. in the early 1930s. 1 - Guillaume Bon Court I William Bunker I George Bunker I William Bunker I Benjamin Bunker I Obed Bunker I Job Bunker I Isaac Bunker I Slocum Hussey Bunker I David Bunker I Jane Bunker (wife of William C.

She is the author of the book How Healthy Is Your Family Tree?) HOW TO RESEARCH YOUR MEDICAL FAMILY TREE Ifit weren't for knowing her family's medical history, Cindy Leffew might be dead. Last year, when she was 31, Cindy felt a burning sensation from her shoulders down to her wrists. At first, she didn't pay much attention to it. But when the episodes persisted, she went to her doctor, and mentioned to him that her mother had suffered a heart attack at age 43. Her doctor referred her to a heart specialist, who encouraged her to find out as much as she could about her family's medical history. Cindy learned (see the accompanying "tree") that her mother's brother had died of a heart attack at age 45, and her maternal grandmother had had two heart attacks, the first at age 45, and a fatal attack at 64. Cindy's heart doctor ordered some preliminary tests, which showed little. But because of her family history of heart disease, the doctor ordered something rare for a female patient of her age-a heart catheter test. Cindy was shocked when it reveled an 80 percent blockage in one of her main arteries. She immediately underwent heart bypass surgery, which may well have saved her from a possible fatal heart attack. Medical family trees have long been used to counsel prospective parents with family histories of hereditary childhood abnormalities, such as Down's syndrome, cystic fibrosis, hemophilia, muscular dystrophy, and sickle-cell anemia. But scientists have recently discovered that many serious adult illnesses-most notably cancer, heart disease. and diabetes-can have strong genetic links. Knowing about the health of your relative, then, could have a vital impact on you and your family's future health. Here's how you can make your own tree: GATHERING TIlE FACTS Make a list of everyone in your family, including your parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins, as well as your children. To construct the tree, use the chart with this article as a model. Draw squares for males and circles for females. (This wiI1help a doctor quickly identify gender-related illnesses.) In each square or circle, enter these simple facts: major illnesses, age at onset of iHness, and both cause of and age at death. To find this information: 1. Ask older relatives to tell you about deceased family members. 2. Save medical records. It is helpful to have as many details as possible about a relative's illness. For example, if someone died of a heart attack, did he or she have high cholesterol (a condition that can be hereditary),high blood pressure, a heart defect? Did he or she smoke? 3. Collect death certificates of family members as far back as great-grandparents, if possible. They often indicate the specific cause of death. If you can't find a certificate for an ancestor, and you know in which state he or she died, call or write the state capital and ask how to get a copy of the death certificate. INTERPRETING YOUR TREE . Pay close attention to the illnesses of "first-degree" relatives (parents, siblings, children) WIth whom you share the most genes. But if you see a pattern of an illness among any relatives, ask your family doctor to refer you to a specialist in t~at disease. You should take quick action 11 �if you see the following information on your family tree: 1. Two first..<fegree relatives with the same or similar cancers. (Note: Breast, uterine, ovarian, and colon cancers can be genetically related.) 2. One first..<fegree relative with heart disease, life threatening diabetes, or cancer that was diagnosed before he or she was 50. Early onset of an illness can signal a genetic link. USING WHAT YOU KNOW If you learn you are at risk for a certain disease, you can immediately make nutritional and life-style changes. For instance, if you discover you may have a genetic predisposition to hardening of the arteries (arteriosclerosis), that may be the incentive you need to stop smoking. If you seem to be at risk for colon cancer, you might be encouraged to switch to a low-fat, highfiber diet and to schedule periodic colon tests. Ifbreast cancer is common in your family, you may be more diligent about doing monthly breast self-exams and scheduling yearly mammograms. But the benefits of knowing your family's genetic probabilities go far beyond the traditional advice abOut life-style and nutrition changes and regular screenings. People at high risk for certain diseases may be advised to undergo preventive surgery to give them peace of mind (such as removal of ovaries for women at high risk of ovarian cancer). IN THE FUTURE . You can also get ajump start on an even more startling approach to health care. In the next few years, gene therapy will take astonishing leaps and bounds in three ways: 1. in the embryo. Already, a handful of couples who carry genes for either cystic fibrosis of Tay-Sachs disease have given birth to healthy babies using 8. new technique that includes in vitro fertilization. When the embryos (fertilized in a test tube) are only four or eight cells large, they are checked for the defective gene. Only those embryos that are free ofthe defective gene are implanted in the woman's uterus. 2. In the ill child. The first successful use of gene therapy occurred in September 1990 at the National Institute of Health (NIH). A four-year-old girl was ill with ADA (adrenosine deaminase) deficiency, a rare disease which wipes out the immune system. (The "boy in the plastic bubble" had ADA.) NIH doctors gave the girl iI\iections of the missing ADA gene, and four years later, she's doing fine. 3. In ill adults. Gene alterations have been tried, with some success, on a small number of terminally ill brain and lung cancer patients, as well as on patients with a family history of very high cholesterol. Once deadly genes are identified, we can look for them in our blood. But we will be well into the twenty-first century before a low-cost, comprehensive test is available to the public. Until then, learning about your medical family tree may be the best way to ensure you get the tests and intervention you need. 12 �FROM UNBROKEN SOD TO PAVED ROADS Sees Old Pass On, Speed Eras Dawn Otto Durow, Big Springs Blacksmith for Half a Century, Pioneer Traveler, Mineral Locator Storehouse of Early Kansas History, Still Stands at his Flaming Forge. By Mrs. Howard Henry Copied from the Topeka Daily Capital-Sunday, Jan. 13, 1929: He sharpened the plowshares that broke the sod about Big Springs. Today he repairs tractors--plows that turn over ten feet of soil at one time. He saw the covered wagons that carried thousands of homeseekers into a new land. Today he sees thousands flit past his door in high-power motor cars or huge interstate buses, on a wellpaved highway, U. S. No. 40. Looking upward he sees an occasional airplane skimming thru the ethereal blue, and wonders at the changes time and genius have brought upon the land he helped reclaim from the wilderness that was pioneer Kansas. Otto Durow, of Big Springs, Douglas county, is near the eO-year mark. He settled in the community where he has made his home all these years, when there was nothing but a trail. Big Springs was one of the stopping places on the Old Oregon Trail. Dwindles Away, Comes 8ack. It became quite a place with hotels, parks, stores, saloons and other accouterments of frontier towns. Then it dwindled away someWhat, but just. now is coming back into its own. The postoffice was taken away, and citizens are trying to get it back. The t~lepho~e e~change was moved away, and now Big Springs IS large enough to support another. Mr. and Mrs. Durow recently celetrated their 50th wedding anniversary. They have lived all their married lives in the same house, one of the first erected in Kansas territory. They saw the covered wagon caravans streaming over the naked prairie. They saw the border ruffians come and go, in their pla~es coming SOI!d citizenry that has made the Big Spnngs community one of the finest and most prosperous in the state. Railroads Chose Lower Paths. .The railroad passed them by, choosing the easier g?lng a~ong ~he Kaw river, three miles to the north. Big Spnngs IS located on the high divide between the Kaw and Wakarusa watershed. U. S. No. 40 follows this divide thru its entire length, from Topeka to Lawrence, passing directly thru Big Springs. Being the only blacksmith, pioneer travelers beat a path to Durow's shop door. Of them he heard the latest gossip, news of Indian massacres further west, latest political happenings in the East, and all the trail news worth relating. Big Springs was the wa~ering and camping places and several large spnngs furnished an abundance of fine water. Durow can show curious persons the location of the old Pickens hotel and barroom where the first temperance crusade in Kansas began. Barrels of whisky were rolled out into the street and burned. Points to Noted landmarks~ He also can point out fragmentary portions of foundations of early buildings, when Big Springs was quite a little city. Where the city park, with water piped from the springs, furnished trysting place for youthful lovers; where old churches flourished and passed into oblivion; where the old Harper House, another noted hostelry s, stood just east of the first United Brethren church in Kansas, with the latter's foundation stones crumbling into dust; traces of the old Oregon and California roads; the exact location of the old log cabin where two girls sold liquor in successful defiance of the temperance adherents; the foundation of the first legislative hall in ~ansa; the building where the famous "rump legislature" held its session; the approximate location of the hiding place of a Pot of gold, hidden by a scared emigrant on his way to California All of these and more can Otto Durow show to those who seek his home in search of historical data.. ~or he is a gold mine of information on things pe~alnlng to early Kansas history. For all his years he IS remarkably active, mentally and physically. But he and Mrs. Durow enjoy the best of health, livil19,in their original home built of solid walnut lumber to endure for ages. '. When News Sprea-d Slowly. In the early days, Big Spring~received its ma;l by star route between Topeka and Lawrence. Except for the ever present travelers, news spread slowly. No newspapers reached Big Springs for years after the territory was settled. The United Brethren church burned down one week-day night. Members came in on Sunday, one bringing an org~ to furnish music. They were surprised to find their house of worship in ruins. It never was rebuilt. A new one was later erected in another location. Ox teams was the favorite motive power in those days. Lumber for the Durow house, equal to any modern home, was hauled from the Kaw bluffs. Weather-boarding is one and one-half inches thick of solid walnut. ' 13 .., �The story of the pot of gold is vivid in Durow's memory. A train of "prairie schooners' came acoss the ferry at Lecompton. The train reached Big Springs just as rumors came that Indians had attacked and wiped out the settlement at Topeka, then just a small village. The wagon master and the crippled cook took a pot of gold coins and dug a hole deep in the ground near one of the many springs in the vicinity. Old settlers recall that the wagon-master and cook paid a visit to the log cabin where the two girls sold liquor. Next morning. in muddled state of mind, they went west. Some 15 years later the cook returned. He, spent weeks hunting for the treasure. But Couldn't Find His Gold. Changed topography thru erosion mixed him up until he couldn't tell heads nor tails of the country. He didn't find the gOld. Ever since Big Springs folks have hunted for the pot of gold, but with no success whatever. Durow is somewhat of a mineralogist. He has a contrivance which he claims is 100 per cent perfect in finding oil, gas and other minerals. He calls it a "Minemeter: It is a queer looking "Dingus: composed of two copper or brass rods, fastened together at one end, with an aperture for holding a flat magnatized disc. He has a disc for each of the more common minerals. If he wants to locate gOld, for instance, he inserts the disc that is attracted by gold. Then he places one of the rods in his mouth, the other held tightly by both hands. Walking over the prospect grounds, the disc dips if mineral of that particular kind is beneath. Locates Rich Oil Fields Mr. Durow has been given credit for locating several of the richest oil fields in Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas. He also has located minerals in Missouri, Arkansas, Arizona, Nevada, Colorado and other states. Durow is a great traveler. He likes to hit the trails where man seldom travels. In his car he went to Grand Canyon recently. He camped at a cabin with two other men. The auto road ended five miles from the cabin. The nearest town was 50 miles away. His two companions went for provisions one day and Durow went exploring. Seeing a tunnellike formation, he entered and started walking, looking back occasionally to make sure the opening he had entered did not excape. After about a mile he saw a light the other way. Coming out in a deep well he looked upward hundreds of feet. The only egress was back thru the tunnel. Then he got scared. What if bears or cougars made this their den? He made haste that no 80-year-Old man would make, unless frightened. But the only sign of life he saw as a starved meadow lark. No wild animals infested that territory. There was nothing to eat--but rocks. Rocks of all colors and, hues. Escapes Barely With Life. Recently he spent a night in a hotel at Belleville, Tex. It was a new hotel, open the first time that night. About midnight Durow was awaken'ed by the smell of smoke. He awakened his companions and excaped just as the building fell in. It was burned to the ground. Another time he ran into a flooded region, drove 48 hous without sleep in order to keep an appointment some 50 miles away. Tired" He denies that the long drive affected him in the least, despite his 80 years. Durow can tell interesting stories of his travels and of pioneer Kansas by the hour. He is an excellent storehouse of knowledge on many subjects. Mrs. Durow enjoys life with the same zest that she did 50 years ago when she mamed the then young blacksmith and most important artisan in the town. As will be noted in the accompanying pictures, they look nearly alike. This similiarity often is noticed in couples, well mated, and who are of the same mental temperament. Community Pays Tribute The whole community of Big Springs pays tribute to Mr. and Mrs. Durow. They are the oldest inhabitants of the place, tho several others can almost equal their record. Often Mr. and Mrs. Durow grow reminiscent. Their young neighbors gather about and listen, wide-eyed and breathless, to the hair raising tales of actual life in a new country, with none of the modern conveniences. Or they stand at the door of the little blacksmith shop and listen to the flaming, forge and the anvil chorus as the veteran smithy adds finishing touches to a piece of machinery, the like of which was not in existence 50 years ago. Note: The writer Mae Henry of this article was a teacher in this community. The old Durow home is still standing and liveable and is owned by one of her grandsons. ******************************************************** Another article on the hi story of Big Springs written by Wm.

Charley Kempthome has been teaching people how to write about their lives since 1976, when he started the first "reminiscence workshop" in the nation. Like many students in his workshops, he has been a writer all of his life, keeping a diary as a child and using his earnings from farm work to buy a typewriter at the age of 11. He painted the keys of the typewriter with luminous paint so that he could write after his parents said lights out. (It didn't work.) Charley has degrees in writing and history from the University of Kansas, as well as an M.F.A. from the famed Iowa Writer's Workshop at the University ofIowa. A former college professor, farmer, and painting contractor, in 1991 he founded the LifeStory Institute and, with his wife, LiftStory Magazine~ which he has edited ever since. June Fritz KempthorDe grew up on a Kansas farm. In college she won prizes for her art, exhibited in several national shows and won the Governor's Prize at Kansas State University, where she took a B.F.A. in printmaking in 1972. F or many years she O\wed and operated a paperhanging and painting business. Co-founder with her husband, Charley, of LiftStory Magazine, she is now the art director and publisher. June assists in the workshops in many capacities, and presents a segment on bow to layout and design one's writing and photographs for publication. Together she and her husband have presented workshops in more than twenty states and Canada There is a complete file of LifeStory lvfagazine in the Osma Room, donated by Gene Bovee. Barb Seiwald, who works at the Douglas County Title Company, will speak to us about "Abstracts ofDougJas County," on Saturday, May 6, at the Lawrence Public Library. She has been instrumental in getting many Douglas County abstracts to the Society. She has used these abstracts to further her genealogical research and will· share a lot of this information with us.

Misspellings. When ordering a vital record (birth, death, marriage, etc.), it is always important to list any 3 �possible variations in the spelling of the surname that you would like them to check. I recently .ordered a death record for my great grandfather, William Henry Hortman, who died in 1920. I was quite disappointed when a letter came back saying no record was found, although I knew the specific date and place where he died. Someone urged me to try different combinations of his name. I knew that I had seen Hortman misspelled as Hartman on some documents, so called the . records office back and asked them to check it.as Hartman. Bingo! Although the name on the death record itselfwas spelled correctly, the index had it misspelled as Hartman. The clerk explained that she had checked various spellings on the reel of microfilm where Hortman was listecL but Hartman was on another roll and she would never have thought to check it ifI hadn't requested it. -Judy Reed. Adding biographical Iex/. Recently I decided to put all my family tree infonnation into narrative form so that it would be easy to understand for my non-genealogist relatives. I printed a five-generation chart and then, going numerically, wiote a short narration for each person on the chart. I included source infonnation right'in the text, writing the census infonnation exactly.as the family was listed. I intended on making this easy for my family to understand, but it has benefited me immensely. Instead oflooking through separate files for birth, marriage, wills, etc., I can simply look at my narrative and it is all there together. I included where I had looked and whether or not there were records found. This project has made it very easy .to see if I have overlooked certain search options for that individual. I have saved the information on my bard drive and on a disk, and so updating the narrative will be easy. I wish I had done this a long time ago. -Brenda. Census page copies pay off When doing census work, be sure to copy the whole page and not just abstract your family. I did just that the other day and it paid off. When I got home I was looking through the Ancestral File and found the family along with a listing of brothers and sisters of the gentleman I was looking for. I got out my copied census and who was two houses .away? None other that his married sister. I got two families with one push of the copy button. -Janet Newell Rootsweb Review and Missing Links Myra Vanderpool Gonnley and Julia Case are the creators of these "e-zines."

(Reprinted from Heart Lines, no. 131 (JanlFeb 2000). published by the Heart of America Genealogical Society of Kansas City, MO.) 4 �GENEALOGICAL BOOKS AND SCRAPBOOKS FROM K..4.THRYN BUNTON Beulah Alice Keilman Ricketts (1887-1973) compiled over many years ten bound scrapbooks concerning genealogy. Her daughter, Kathryn Jeanette Bunton, Lawrence resident (born here in 1912) and longtime member of the Douglas County Genealogical Society, indexed the contents and has recently presented them to the Society for its collection in the Lawrence Public Library. Here are the general subjects, by volume. Beulah's family, in part, begins in the U.S. with the immigration of George Bunker to New England about 1650. The family then settled on Nantucket Island. A prominent relative was Dr. Alice Bunker Stockham (1833-1912), the fifth American woman to earn a M.D. degree, whose brother David Bunker (1830-1905) moved to Lawrence in 1890 to be an instructor at Haskell Indian Institute. David's son Charles Dean Bunker ( 1870-1948) began working for KU's Natural History Museum in 1895, and his ashes are scattered outside the museum; his grandson Charles Harry eChuck") Warner is president of the Lawrence's Mercantile Bank. Another cousin of Kathryn is Thomas Beisecker, professor of communication studies at KU. These volumes contain miscellaneous clippings about Nantucket and other places of the family's roots, but also excerpts of the genealogy professionally prepared in New York by the Lewis Historical Publishing Co. in the early 1930s. 1 - Guillaume Bon Court I William Bunker I George Bunker I William Bunker I Benjamin Bunker I Obed Bunker I Job Bunker / Isaac BuDker / Slocum Hussey Bunker I David Bunker I Jane Bunker (wife of William C.

II age 6 • heart murmur 10 =heart attack �(This is an adaptation of an article from the August 1994 issue of Good Housekeeping by Carol Krause. She is the author of the book How Healthy Is Your Family Tree?) HOW TO RESEARCH YOUR MEDICAL FAMILY TREE If it weren't for knowing her family's medical history, Cindy Leffew might be dead. Last year, when she was 3 I, Cindy felt a burning sensation from her shoulders dovln to her wrists. At first, she didn't pay much attention to it. But when the episodes persisted, she went to her doctor, and mentioned to him that her mother had suffered a heart attack at age 43. Her doctor referred her to a heart specialist, who encouraged her to fmd out as much as she could about her family~s medical history. Cindy learned (see the accompanying "tree") that her mother's brother had died ofa heart attack at age 45, and her maternal grandmother had had two heart attacks, the first at age 45, and a fatal attack at 64. Cindy's heart doctor ordered some preliminary tests, which showed little. But because of her family history of heart disease, the doctor ordered something rare for a female patient of her age--a heart catheter test. Cindy was shocked when it reveled an 80 percent blockage in one of her main arteries. She immediately underwent heart bypass surgery, which may well have saved her from a possible faUl) heart attack. Medical family trees have long been used to counsel prospective parents with family histories of hereditary childhood abnormalities, such as Down's syndrome, cystic fibrosis, hemophilia, muscular dystrophy, and sickle-cell anemia. But scientists have recently discovered that many serious adult illnesses-most notably cancer, heart disease, and diabetes-can have strong genetic links. Knowing about the health of your relative, then, could have a vital impact on you and your family's future health. Here's how you can make your own tree: GATHERING TIlE FACTS Make a list of everyone in your family, including your parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins, as well as your children. To construct the tree, use the chart with this article as a model. Draw squares for males and circles for females. (This will help a doctor quickly identify gender-related illnesses.) In each square or circle,enter these simple facts: major illnesses, age at onset of illness, and both cause of and age at death. To find this information: I. Ask older relatives to tell you about deceased family members. 2. Save medical records. It is helpful to have as many details as possible about a relative's illness. For example, if someone died of a heart attack, did he or she have high cholesterol (a condition that can be hereditary), high blood pressure, a heart defect? Did he or she smoke? 3. Collect death certificates of family members as far back as great-grandparents, if possible. They often indicate the specific cause of death. If you can't find a certificate for an ancestor, and you know in which state he or she die~ call or write the state capital and ask how to get a copy of the death certificate. INTERPRETING YOUR TREE Pay close attention to the illnesses of "first-degree" relatives (parents, siblings, children) with whom you share the most genes. But if you see a pattern of an i1lness among any relatives, ask your family doctor to refer you to a specialist in that disease. You should take quick action 11 �if you see the following infonnation on your family tree: 1. Two first-degree relatives with the same or similar cancers. (Note: Breast, uterine, ovarian, and colon cancers can be genetically related.) 2. One first-degree relative with heart disease, life threateni~g diabetes, or cancer that was diagnosed before he or she was 50. Early onset of an illness can signal a genetic link. USING WHAT YOU KNOW If you learn you are at risk for a certain disease, you can immediately make nutritional and life-style changes. For instance, if you discover you may have a genetic predisposition to hardening of the arteries (arteriosclerosis), that may be the incentive you need to stop smoking. If you seem to be at risk for colon cancer, you might be encouraged to switch to a low-fat, highfiber diet and to schedule periodic colon tests. Ifbreast cancer is common in your family, you may be more diligent about doing monthly breast self-exams and scheduling yearly mammograms. But the benefits of knowing your family's genetic probabilities go far beyond the traditional advice about life-style and nutrition changes and regular screenings. People at high risk for certain diseases may be advised to lUldergo preventive surgery to give them peace of mind (such as removal of ovaries for women at high risk of ovarian cancer). IN THE FUTURE You can also get a jump start on an even more startling appr.oach to health care. In the next few years, gene therapy wiJI take astonishing leaps and bounds in three ways: 1. In the embryo. Already, a handful of couples who carry genes for either cystic fibrosis of Tay-Sachs disease have givenbirtb to healthy babies using a new technique that includes in vitro fertilization. When the embryos (fertilized in a test tube) are only four or eight cells large, they are checked for the defeCtive gene. Only those embryos that are free of the defective gene are implanted in the woman's uterus. 2. In the ill child. The first successful use of gene therapy occurred in September 1990 at the National Institute ofHeaJth (NIH). A four-year-old girl was ill with ADA (adrenosinedeaminase) deficiency, a rare disease which wipes out the immune system. (The "boy in the plastic bubble" had ADA) NIH doctors gave the girl injections of the missing ADA gene. and, four years later. she's doing fine. 3. In ill adults. Gene alterations have been tried, with some success, on a small number of terminally ill brain and lung cancer patients. as weU as on patients with a family history of very high cholesterol. ' Once deadly genes are identified, we can look for them in our blood. But we will be well into the twenty-first century before a Iow-cost, comprehensive test is available to the public. Until then, learning about your medical family tree may be the best way to ensure you get the tests and intervention you need. 12 �FROM UNBROKEN SOD TO PAVED ROADS Sees Old Pass On, Speed Eras Dawn Otto Durow, Big Springs Blacksmith for Half a Century, Pioneer Traveler, Mineral Locator, Storehouse of Early Kansas History, Still Stands at his Flaming Forge. By Mrs. Howard Henry Copied from the Topeka Daily Capital-Sunday, Jan. 13, 1929: He sharpened the plowshares that broke the sod about Big Springs. Today he repairs tractors-plows that turn over ten feet of soil at one time. He saw the covered wagons that carried thousands of homeseekers into a new land. Today he sees thousands flit past his door in high-power motor cars or huge interstate buses, on a wellpaved highway, U. S. No. 40. Looking upward he sees an occasional airplane skimming thru the ethereal blue, and wonders at the changes time and genius have brought upon the land he nelped reclaim from the wilderness that was pioneer Kansas. Otto Durow, of Big Springs, Douglas county, is near the SO-year mark. He seWed in the community where he has made his home all these years, when there was nothing but a trail. Big Springs was one of the stopping places on the Old Oregon Trail. Dwindles Away. Comes Back. It became quite a place with hotels, parks, stores, saloons and ather accouterments of frontier towns. Then it dwindled away somewhat, but just now is coming back into its own. The postoffice was taken away, and citizens are trying to get it back. The t~lepho~e e~change was moved away, and now Big Spnngs IS large enough to support another. Mr. and Mrs. Durow recently celetrated their 50th wedding anniversary. They have lived all their married lives in the same house, one of the first erected in Kansas territory. They saw the covered wagon caravans streaming over the naked prairie. They saw ~e border ruffians come and go, In their pl~es coming sol~d citizenry that has made the Big Springs commumty one of the finest and most prosperous in the state. Rallroada Chose Lower Paths. .The railroad passed them by, choosing the easier gOIng along the Kaw river, three miles to the north. Big Springs is located on the high divide between the Kaw and Wakarusa watershed. U. S. No. 40 follows this divide thru its entire length, from Topeka to Lawrence, passing directly thru Big Springs. Being the only blacksmith, pioneer travelers beat a path to Durow's shop door. Of them he heard the latest gossip, news of Indian massacres further west, latest political happenings in the East, and all the trail news worth relating. Big Springs was the wa~ering ~d camping places and several large spnngs furnIshed an abundance of fine water. Durow can show curious persons the location of the old Pickens hotel and barroom where the first temperance crusade in Kansas began. Barrels of whisky were rolled out into the street and burned. Points to Noted Landmarks, He also can point out fragmentary portions of foundations of early buildings, when Big Springs w.as quite a litHe city. Where the city park, with water Piped from the springs, furnished trysting place for youthful lovers; where old churches flourished and passed into oblivion; where the old Harper House, another noted hostelry s, stood just east of the first United Brethren church in Kansas, with the latter's foundation stones crumbling into dust; traces of the ?Id Oregon and California roads; the exact I~catlo~ of the old log cabin where two girls sold liquor In successful defiance of the temperance ~dh.ents; the foundation of the first legislative hall In ~ansa; the building where the famous -rump legislature- held its session; the approximate. location of the hiding place of a Pot of gold, hidden by a scared emigrant on his way to California All of these and more can Otto Durow shaw to those who seek his home in search of historical data. ~or he is a gold mine of information on things pe~aJ",ng to early Kansas history. For all his years he IS remarkably active, mentally and physically. But he ~d .M.rs. Durow enjoy the best of health, livil'Kl.in their onglnal home built of solid walnut lumber to endure for ages. .. When News Spread Slowly. In the early days, Big Springareceived its mail by star route between Topeka and Lawrence. Except for the ever present travelers, news spread slowly. No newspapers reached Big Springs for years after the territory was settled. The United Brethren church burned down one week-day night. Members came in on Sunday, one bringing an org~ to furnish music. They were surprised to find their house of worship in ruins. It never was rebuilt. A new one was later erected in another location. Ox teams was the favorite motive power in those days. lumber for the Durow house, equal to any modem home, was hauled from the Kaw bluffs. Weather-boarding is one and one-half inches thick of solid walnut. ' 13 �The story of the pot of gold is vivid in Durow's w memory. A train of "prairie schooners came acoss the ferry at Lecompton. The train reached Big Springs just as rumors came that Indians had attacked and wiped out the settlement at Topeka, then just a small village. The wagon master and the crippled cook took a pot of gold coins and dug a hole deep in the ground near one of the many springs in the vicinity. Old settlers recall that the wagon-master and cook paid a visit to the log cabin where the two girls sold liquor. Next morning. in muddled state of mind, they went west. Some 15 years later the cook returned. He spent weeks hunting for the treasure. But Couldn't Find His Gold. Changed topography thru erosion mixed him up until he couldn't tell heads nor tails of the country. He didn't find the gold. Ever since Big Springs folks have hunted for the pot of gold, but with no success whatever. Durow is somewhat of a mineralogist. He has a contrivance which he claims is 100 per cent perfect in finding oil, gas· and other minerals. He calls it a uMinemeter." It is a Queer looking "Dingus," composed of two copper or brass rods, fastened together at one end, with an aperture for holding a flat magnatjzed disc. He has a disc for each of the more common minerals. It he wants to locate gold, for instance, he inserts the disc that is attracted by gold. Then he places one of the rods in his mouth, the other held tightly by both hands. Walking over the prospect grounds, the disc dips if mineral of that particular kind is beneath. Locates Rich Oil Fields Mr. Durow has been given credit for locating several of the richest oil fields in Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas. He also has located minerals in Missouri, Arkansas, Arizona, Nevada, Colorado and other states. Durow is a great traveler. He likes to hit the trails where man seldom travels. In his car he went to Grand Canyon recently. He camped at a cabin with two other men. The auto road ended five miles from the cabin. The nearest town was 50 miles away. His two companions went for provisions one day and Durow went exploring. Seeing a tunnellike formation, he entered and started walking, looking back occasionally to make sure the opening he had entered did not excape. After about a mile he saw a light the other way. Coming out in a deep well he looked upward hundreds of feet. The only egress was back thru the tunnel. Then he got scared. What if bears or cougars made this their den? He made haste that no 80-year-old man would make, unless frightened. But the only sign of life he saw as a starved meadow lark. No wild animals infested that territory. There was nothing to eat-but rocks. Rocks of all colors and hues. Escapes Barely With Life. Recently he spent a night in a hotel at Belleville, Tex. It was a new hotel, open the first time that night. About midnight Durow was awakened by the smell of smoke. He awakened his companions and excaped just as the building fell in. It was burned to the ground. Another time he ran into a flooded region, drove 48 hous without sleep in order to keep an appointment some 50 miles away. Tired" He denies that the long drive affected him in the least, despite his 80 years. Durow can tell interesting stories of his travels and of pioneer Kansas by the hour. . He is an excellent storehouse of knowledge on many subjects. Mrs. Durow enjoys life with the same zest that she did 50 years ago when she manied the then young blacksmith and most important artisan in the town. As will be noted in the accompanying pictures, they look nearly alike. This similiarity often is noticed in couples, well mated, and who are of the same mental temperament. Community Pays Tribute The whole community of Big Springs pays tribute to Mr. and Mrs. Durow. They are the oldest inhabitants of the place, tho several others can almost equal their record. Often Mr. and Mrs. Durow grow reminiscent. Their young neighbors gather about and listen, wide-eyed and breathless, to the hair raising tales of actual life in a new country, with none of the modem conveniences. Or they stand at the door of the little blacksmith shop and listen to the flaming, forge and the anvil chorus as the veteran smithy adds finishing touches to a piece of machinery, the like of which was not in existence 50 years ago. Note: The writer Mae Henry of this article was a teacher in this community. The old Durow home is still standing and liveable and is owned by one of her grandsons. *****************************.************************** Another article on the hi story of Big Springs written by Wm.

I h~pe the saving will more than balance the perfection and convenience found in our previous booklets. Next, we rewrite the text: "Remus Starr was a famous cowboy in the Montana Territory. His business empire grew to include acquisition of valuable equestrian assets and intimate dealings with the Montana railroad. Beginning in 1885, he devoted several years of his life to service a grovernment facility, finally taking leave to resume his dealings with the railroad. In 1887, he was a key player in a vital investigation run by the renowned Pinkerton Detective Agency. In 1889, Remus passed away during an important civic function held in his honor when the platform upon which he was standing collapsed.' Errors are inevitable. We cordially solicit your help In correcting them. Sincerely Harold C. Fisher County Superintendent Dues paid now will be good through December 2000. Our dues year runs from January through December.
