It has 44 pages and is looseleaf . Original Land Owners-Delaware Trust Lands of Jefferson County Kansas .. Purchased at auctions at: Fort Leavenworth (Nov. 1856) Ranges 19 and 20. Ozawkie (July 18570 Ranges 16, 17, 18. The Original Land Owners-Delaware Trust Lands begins with a discussion of where these records are, how they are listed, etc .. The introduction is a good overview of territorial land records and is included in this Pioneer following these reviews. The body of the book is divided into two sections. The first is an alphabetical listing by name which includes Quarter, Section, Township, Range, Acres, Date of Purchase and Price per acre. The second section is sorted by land description and includes the same information. It is 55 pages long. Both of these titles were compiled by Howard Wellman and will be shelved in the Osma Room. �ORIGINAL LAND PURCHASES, DELAWARE TRUST LANDS • • Portions extracted from Andrea's History of Kansas are shown in BOLD PRINT. On May 30, 1854, Kansas was admitted as a Territory, and the rush of settlement commenced at once. Treaties had been made with the Delaware Indians, to whom the lands which now. comprise Jefferson County then belonged; but the lands were not yet opened to .settlement nor surveys made. No attention, however, was paid to this fact, and during the year a large number of persons selected claims within the limits of the present county, though but comparatively few made an actual settlement until the following year. The lands comprising the Delaware purchase included the greater part of the county, but excepted a large tract held by the Delaware Indians, as a diminished reserve. We 'now speak of these as the "Delaware Trust Lands" and the "Delaware Reserve Lands". The "Delaware Trust Lands" were to be sold at two public auctions. The first was to be held at Fort Leavenworth, starting in November 1856 and the second at Ozawkie starting in July1857. The "Delaware Reserve Lands" were later transferred to the Federal Govenunentby treaty with the Delaware Indians that was approved in July 1860. The "Reserve Lands" were transferred to the Union Pacific Railroad. The railroad later sold most of those lands directly to individuals in the latter 1860's. Here, we are only going to address the land . sales of 1856 & 5 7 . ' Previous to the land sales, the settlers had no right whatever to the land which they occupied, except a "squatter's right," which was simply a right by possession, and with an understanding that each settler would be allowed to bid on the land he claimed, at its appraised value, on the day of sale. The squatter's right proved a fruitful source of many serious troubles. There was much contention as to the ownership of claims, and a question as to what constituted a settlement. At first a habitation was required, but soon a mere foundation was regarded as sufficient to hold a claim. This was subject to many abuses, for it was not long until many tracts of land were literally covered with "foundations", .which in a majority of cases were formed of four twigs lain in form of a square. A search for the records ·for any of these early claims andlor records of the land sales of 1856 & '57 was made at the Jefferson Co. courthouse Register of Deeds office. However, most of the recorded deeds started with an owner who was not the Federal Government, with a few exceptions where a much later filed "Land Patent" was recorded. Microfilm copies of KANSAS TRACT BOOKS were found at Kansas State Historical Soc. library in Topeka. That series of books record the original transfer of lands from the Federal Government and includes all of Jefferson county that was sold in the land sales. It is film No; MS-325. There is also a series of microfilm of Plat maps, one map for each survey township (36 sections of land) of Jefferson Co.. Film No. MS 364. The first land auction at Fort Leavenworth, Nov. 1856, sold the northeastern portion(Ranges 19&20). The remaining western portion was sold at Ozawkie in July 1857. , The microfilm of the land sales is f~ir1y legible, though everything is handwritten in script. There is always some difficulty in reading script to be sure of exact spelling of names, so there may be some errors in interpretation of the handwriting. The most difficult aspect was in detennining the middle initial of the person., so be sure and consider the possible errors. There also appeared to be some notes included on some parcel records, that I think may have been something about a squatter's claim, though all of those notes were very small and maybe done in pencil as they did not copy onto the microfilm. The Plat maps do show some squatter claims and some names are legible, though many are not. Since the land had not been surveyed, most of those claims are shown as little boxes of various sizes and had no connection to subsequent quarter section l i n e s . ' . . As you look at the prices paid and the price variation, one can almost feel the excitement as each family waited to bid on the quarter section they most desired . • 5 �GENEALOGY ON THE INTERNET Last Fall Martha Harris presented a program for the Society on Researching Genealogy on the Internet.

GARDNER left Tuesday for Jacksonville, Illinois Miss Elsie CLINGER came down from Topeka Tuesday evening. There are two weddings that will occur next Tuesday. Miss Ruth PLUMB was called home from her University work this week by the illness of her brother. An engagement party was given in West LawrenCe last Sunday. The wedding will take place in June. Superintendent and Mrs. C.F.MESERVE returned Wednesday from a pleasant stay of about two weeks in the state of California. . Mrs. Gen. H. S. HALL and daughter Miss Mabel are in New York, having been called there by the death of a relative. They will likely stay some time. . The wedding of Mr. Ed. SCHALL to Miss May RUSHMER is announced to take place next Tuesday at 1 o'clock at the home of the bride in the west part of the city. . The Kappa Alpha Theta fraternity entertained the girls of the other two University fraternities last Saturday evening at the home of Miss Mary STONE. There is a very large enrollment of the ladies of Lawrence in the University extension course of lectures on electricity that was begun this week by Prof. L.1. BLAKE. The course will undoubtedly be a very popular one and already has a larger enrollment than any course that has yet been given in Lawrence. There was considerable of a society feature about the presentation of "The Old Oaken Bucket" that was given last evening and the night before by home talent. The parts taken were nearly all by those who are active in the little Lawrence social world and to their efforts is largely due the success of the production. The event of next week is the reception of the Kappa Kappa Gammas that will occur on Saturday afternoon and evening. All the members of the University faculty have been invited and the members of other girl fraternities as well as the usual list of young men. There will be every effort made to eclipse all precious attempts at entertaining in a swell way. There has been rather a lack of anything going on this week but the young folks have made up for it by enjoying themselves on the ice. Every evening there have been great crowds and though the ice has been far from good skating the boys and girls have seemed to spend the time in a way that was very pleasant to them. There will be considerable more of it from present prospects. The wedding of Mr. Louis POEHLER to Miss Eva MILES on Thursday afternoon was the only event of this kind that occured this week. It was a home affair and only the intimate friends and relatives of the young folks were present. The wedding took place at the suburban home of the bride's father, Col. John D. MILES, just south of the city. [Now the 1500 block of Barker, west side.] After the uniting words has been spoken by Rev. Dr. CORDLEY and the company partaken of a luncheon, the bridal couple left for a trip to New York and other eastern places and after their return they 'will be at home to friends in this city. Thursday was the fIftieth anniversary of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Charles DUNCAN. The occasion was remembered by a pleasant family gathering at the home on Tennessee street and the having of an old-fashioned family dinner. Later in the day Mrs. and Mrs. Duncan were remembered by the presentation of a splendid leather upholstered �ann rocking chair. This was accompanied by the following. Mrs. and Mrs. C.S. DUNCAN: A few of your many friends and neighbors offer their hearty congratUlations on this fiftieth anniversary of your marriage, and also a slight testimonial of their respect and affectionate regard: (signed) C.A.

LCC?mpton centennial show was Ge~rge WashingtoD resgrove who, weanng his hundred and three years serenely, rode at the head ~f the long par~de that passed under the elms and maples of the drowsy little ' nver Town which was Kansas' first territorial capital. N~arly a hundred years of his earth-loving life have been spent on Kansas s~tl .. Bo~ on August 26th, his I03rd birthday anniversary, like the days of his life, WIll be passed in quietness and strength. Mr. Presgrove hears , perfect~y, and has good eyesight, and fondness for people, and fondness for gardenmg and music. There's an ?<lison phonograph of early design in his living room; the playing of blue cy lm~er records, particularly hymns, and old Irish airs, is constant pleasure to ~m: He enjoys music by radio, too, and listens to the news of the wo~ld mterest. From Grant to Eisenhower, he has voted the Republ~can tIcket straight and he is contented with the way the countty is now bemg run. Wl!h ~~'s a large picture of Abraham Lincoln and cabinet on a wall of the hvmg r<>?m,. a recollection, told vividly but with unforgotten grief by the centenanan IS of a long gone afternoon which he says HI remember like yesterday. " "I remember how it was that my Uncle Main had been down by Rising Sun - there was a blacksmith shop and hotel and stores and a saloon in the little town at the mouth of the Delaware then - and I was going out to meet him. I met him a-horseback and when he came up to where I was I knew by the look on his face that something was wrong. He looked at me and all he said was Lincoln's been "assassinated", and rve never forgot how we felt - how everybody felt." He recalls the time, back to Massac County, Illinois, near the Ohio River, where he was born, the wild pigeons flew into the farmyard, so thick they darkened the sky and so heavy in the branches the broke limbs and branches; he remembers the old mill where he first saw grain being ground; remembers the long drive to the Kansas territory where the family came by wagon, pulled by a team of oxen, Red and Ned; feels afresh the sorrow of the family when his young uncle, Tommy Woods, was shot by the rebels; chuckles over the days when they ran out of flour and lived for a long time without bread but didn't care because they had good roasting ears to eat. (Mr. Presgrove grew up to be the first farmer to plant wheat iIi the rich river valley near the present town of Perry.) >Froril south of Ft. Scott, where his family first settled on reaching the territory, the Presgroves, who were Union sympathizers, moved on northward, coming thru Lawrence just ahead of the Quantrill raiders, and settling in Jefferson County. He has remembered pride in the first pair of boy suspenders and boots he bought from Louie Lutt's store, at Rising Sun. Thinks yet about the horse that drowned ttying to cross the river from Lecompton to the opposite shore. "It was one Sunday, and I went down to watch. The government took horses across that way. There were a lot of them, and they made it all right but that one poor horse. Just lost its head and swam round and round, couldn't get direction. Just kept going round and round until it sank." /{P �Then there was fiddling. The pleasure of going to a neighbor's to a dance, and hearing the fiddle. The pleasure of walking. "I walked to Oskaloosa and back in a day from our fann near Perry. II And he still likes walking. "I'm always up all day, nowdays." (But not walking out in the winter weather. Mr. Presgrove doesn't like the cold weather and avoids it. He doesn't catch cold either. Hasn't had a sniffle or a spell of flu for seven years, he says.) "You know oxen ore very intelligent animals," Mr. Presgrove maintains. "Real smart. That team of oxen that brought us to Kansas broke the sod and I farmed with them as a boy. All I'd have to say was hear Ned lower you head. come with me and old Ned would bow his head so you could put the yoke on." One time the family was in Leavenworth for supplies in the ox drawn wagon and they were on their way home when a hard storm came up. They make it to the covered bridge near Springdale, and there, under shelter, the storm ranting through the night, family and team stayed in the covered bridge until daybreak. A great adventure they all thought afterwards. . In 1907, George Presgrove and Laura Thompson, a girl from a neighboring farm in the Oak Grove community, were married. Old friends recall Mr. Presgrove's devotion to her. Remember too, the big loaves of bread and her ample homemaking ways. The Presgrove fann was famed for its fine fruit; the first Elberta peaches seen by some in those times were the unusually large ones grown by Mr. Presgrove. Of children there are one girl and two boys dead and three boys living, Harry and Jim ofHoustoil, Texas, both railroad men, and Jesse, now a slim young hearted old boy of a mere 75 years whose sweet tenor voice reminds people of John McCormick. Jesse and his father share the comfortable white frame house on the edge of Lecompton; Jesse cooks and keeps the place neat and charming, and he sings now as he did in the days offrrst youth when he was popular in Williamstown literary and singing school circles, and would hannonize his fine tenor in "Goo Goo Eyes" and "On the Banks of the Wabash." Altho Mr. George Presgrove's parents died in their middle years his sisters lived in their 80s. His friends believe he Can hope for at least a hundred and ten years and who could say how many more? "He eats like a heavy man in the winter," says Jesse,"Lighter in the summer. Likes everything. Bowls of cornflakes and buttered toast and milk, sometimes thee or four cups of coffee in the morning. Likes fresh vegetables especially. And tomatoes. Never turns down tomatoes. Worked in the garden and enjoyed eating the good things the raised thru his lOOth year. Wasn't age that stopped him this year. Grasshoppers and drought. Helped can 17 quarts of beans from our own garden in the summer he was 100." That was the year the town celebrated for him. The United Brethren Church and other in . the community gave a party and there were 100 candles on the birthday cake. "He likes sweet things. Candy specially mints. " . To what does Mr. Presgrove himself believe his long grant of years and good health can be credited? He thought it over and seemed to have nothing to offer about that. "Never was one to philosophize much" Jesse Presgrove mediated. 17 �Mr. Jess got up and turned on the Edison. "Rock of Ages," and "Abide with Me," "When you and I were Young," "Maggie," "I'll Take you Home Again Kathleen,"and "My Wild Irish Rose," with the younger Presgrove's true tenor were heard above the mellow music from the phonograph. studi~ the beautiful George hummed, kept time lightly with his left foot, old blue china dinner plates in the glass cupboard. Thoughtfully he turned to the inquirer in room and revealed the secret of his longevity: "I've always tended my own business" said George Washington Presgrove. {The interviewer did make a couple mistakes, George and Laura were married 1875 and the Presgrove family first settled in Jasper Mo. before moving to Ft. Scott. Also I still have the Edison, and it works.} Liz A license was granted to John Brugen,ofEudora,and-CathenneVogel, of the county permitting them to jump the fence of single blessedness and graze in the green pastures of doubleness. Don and Wilma The Daily Journal, Wednesday, July 24, 1878. "Death of Benajah H. Miles" Benajah H. Miles died at his mother's residence in this city, at seven oclock Tuesday evening, aged nearly forty-one years. At the hour of his death he was surrounded by many friends and relatives, among whom were his wife and three children, his mother, and all his brothers and sisters except two. Born in Ohio, Mr. Miles lived laterly in Indiana, -whence he came to Kansas eight years ago. For two years he was agent for the Kickapoos, holding that position until the consolidation of that tribe with the Pottawatomies. For three years, up to the present time he has been chief clerk at the Cheyenne and Arapahoe Agency, for his brother John D. Miles. Four weeks ago he fell ill with low typhoid fever, contracted by overwork consequent upon the transfer of the northern Cheyennes to the Territory._ The funeral will be held on Thursday next, at 9 a.m., from the residence of Mrs. Miles, comer of New Jersey and Hancock streets. Friends of the family are invited to be present. Benajah H. Miles has lived a most exemplary life both as a citizen and a public officer. His integrity of motive, coupled with power of doing, made him known and respected by a large circle of acquaintances, and it will be from this circle that those who are called to mourn will receive a most heartfelt sympathy. If �EUDORA TIDBITS Lawrence Daily Journal, February 2, 1884 "Eudora Items" Eudora, Kan., Feb. 1st, 1884 The Republicans of Eudora city and township held a caucus in the City Hall yesterday for the purpose of nominating township officers. The meeting was called to order by M.D. Greenlee when his Honor, John Hammer, was elected as . chairman, and Greenlee secretary. The following named gentlemen were nominated by acclimatipn; F or trustee, Chas. Lethal. For clerk, Peter Gangrene. F or treasurer, T.J. Huddleston. For justices of the peace JoOO Wilder and Capt. T.I Jennings. For constables, Geo. Stadler and Chas. Albright. The meeting was harmonious as well as enthusiastic throughout. Party lines were not drawn as Mr. Jennings, at present our JP. is a Greenbacker but a efficient [sic] officer. The question seemed to be who could best serve the people and give the old officers a rest. The ticket is a good one and ought to be elected. The grandest event of the season at this place came off on the 31 st, by the lady members of the Eudora dancing club giving a leap year party. The invitation committee was Misses Maggie A. Darling, Sadie M. Brogan and ELM. Schaeffer. Committee of arrangements: Mrs. SOV. Carr, Misses Vine Cop, Mary Burnets, Ida Zimmerman, Ella Brander, Annie Lethal, Clara Beck. Floor managers: Misses May Schaeffer and Sadie Brogan. Door keepers: Misses Minnie Lethal [sic], Alice Burnets. About fifty couples were in attendance and all seemed to enjoy themselves hugely, especially the gents who were favored with a fair pardner [sic] to foot the bills. A splendid supper was served by the ladies at 12 o'clock after which dancing to the excellent music furnished by A. Christianson and his string band was kept up until a late hour. To say the least the affair was a grand success and does credit to the ladies who were untiring in their efforts to make everybody happy. Miss Mull, of Cedar creek, and Miss Curtis, of Olathe, were among the guests at the leap year party from distance. Mr. Charles Pilla, our efficient postmaster, having the welfare of the public at heart, has added sixty-four call boxes, and thirty-three walnut flushed lock boxes, gotten up by Joseph Herz, cabinet maker of this place. They are supplied with Yale locks and are a credit to the originators. When the present improvements are completed we think Eudora can boast of as complete and nicely arranged fourth class post office as there is in this part of the. state. Among the many improvements and commendable enterprises now taking place in our little city we would not do justice to the energy and get up and. get of our citizens if we failed to note the coming and going of Dr. August Loman, who has recently located among us. He seems to be busy as a bee and from reports of those whom he has treated he is working up a splendid practice, and we believe without trying to flatter the doctor, that he thoroughly understands his profession. (signed) PINTO. i'f �A STORY OF QUANTRILL This was in the Alumni Magazine from Emporia State University Abigail Morse recalls living through Quantrill's raid 6fLawrence This is the first in a series of columns by Dr. Sam ,Dicks, university historian, concerning the history of what is now Emporia State University and the people who helped the university get to where it is today. The name of his column, ~'Wave the Old Gold," is taken from the title of a song that served as an alma mater (school song) in the early years of the institution. EMPORIA, Kansas - Abigail Prentice Barber graduated from Wheaton Seminary in Massachusetts in July of 1857, and married the Rev. Grosvenor C. Morse in Massachusetts in September. The newlyweds reached Emporia on October 19, only a few months after By Or. Sam Dick. the town Was founded. . Rev. Morse, a recent graduate of Dartmouth College and Andover Seminary, immediately held religious services, and in 1858 formally organized the Congregational Church in Emporia.' He also helped raise money for the first school which opened in October of 1858 with Mary Jane Watson as the first teacher. He campaigned hard for the establishment of the Kansas State Normal School, now Emporia State University, and journeyed to Illinois in December of 1864 where he hired Lyman B. Kellogg as its first president. He spoke at some of the earliest teachers institutes in Manhattan and elsewhere, and served a term as Lyon County Superintendent of Schools. He was accidently killed while digging a well on their claim southeast of Emporia in 1870. Abigail, left with three children under the age of 10, werit to work to support her family. She taught in the Emporia Public Schools and, for six years, was principal ofthe high school. She also taught history, literature, and rhetoric at the Normal School and served as preceptress (dean of women), where she gave guidance and counsel to many students. Abigail Morse Hall at ESU was dedicated in her honor as a women's residence hall in 1923. She died December 6, 1925, one day short of her 92 nd birthday. Each year on her birthday for many years after her death women students attended memorial services at the Congregational Church. Her widowed sister, Mary Carpenter, was remembered by William Altan White asthe helpful librarian at the Emporia PublicL.ibrary (located upstairs over a store in the 1880s) who first exposed him to Emerson and other American writers~ Mary later married John C. Rankin, a farmer and legislator from Quenemo; she died in 1917. Abigail Morse had been a frequent speaker at community and church gatherings and was often asked on Kansas Day to give her account of Quantrill's guerilla raid on Lawrence in August of 1863, while she was there visiting her sister, Mary. Most blacks fled the Missouri bushwackers, knowing they faced certain death from these defenders of slavery and the Confederacy, but some white mal~s, not expecting a massacre, remained. Only women and children were spared. Following is Abigail Morse's account, which was published in the Emporia Gazette two days after her death, on December 8, 1925: My sister, Mary E. Barber, a graduate of Mount Holyoke Seminary, came from Massachusetts to spend a summer with us. She taught the next year in the Baldwin public schools, and the year . ,J..D �following that in the Lawrence high school. She was married at our home by Mr. Morse, October 10,1862, to Judge Louis Carpenter, a young lawyer of Lawrence. The next summer - August, 1863 - I went to visit her in her new home, just finished, a 2-story brick at 943 New Hampshire street. We spent a pleasant two weeks . I together. At noon on the 20 th of August, Mr. Carpenter came home and said, incidentally, "There is a story on the street that Quantrill is coming to Lawrence to destroy it, as he has so long threatened to do. But," he added, "we have had so many reports of that kind no one believes them." Then he said, "It would be impossible for him to get here with his band without our being reliably notified." . Afterward it was found that messages had been sent, but failed to reach the city. One, in excitement, was sent to Kansas City instead of Lawrence. Another messenger, a boy, when he learned the destination of Quantrill's band, mounted his fastest horse and started for Lawrence. The horse fell, leaving the boy crippled and helpless. No news reached to the city of the terrible doom impending. We were aroused at about 5 o'clock Friday morning, Aug. 21 st . The clattering of the hoofs of 400 horses, the shouting and yelling of the riders, the shooting of revolvers, all united, made the most hideous noise we ever had heard. We rushed to the windows and had a full view of this terrible invasion. They saw us and shot at us, as they rushed past our house. They went on to the center of the town, and there they stopped in front of the Eldridge house. They seemed to expect some show of defense. For years, Lawrence never had been so unprotected. The few soldiers there were colored troops, and they fled for their lives .. Our first spoken words were, "Quantrill is here!" We stayed in the house, planning what we could do. Those in the other part of town had a chance to get away, but here every avenue was guarded, and all those who tried to escape were shot down ruthlessly. We watched the Eldridge house burn, and saw fires all over the town. Diagonally across the street, a fine home was burning,and in the next house to ours, a man had been murdered, but his home was saved. Quantrill's band was composed of two kinds of men. His gang was angry, determined to kill every free state man and to wipe Lawrence from the map. Others were farmers whom Quantrill had compelled to join his forces. They were easily convinced they had not found the "right man." They were fed and treated hospitably, and went away satisfied. There was no anger in their hearts. Mr. Carpenter, it was said, by his pleasant manner and tact, had saved his life and the destruction of his home. At about 9 o'clock, we watched the gathering of the clan for its departure, and we began to breathe free again, and to hope we were safe. The men were loaded with loot, and seemed anxious to leave. Just then there came a terrible pounding at our front door, and Mrs. Carpenter opened the door. Mr. Carpenter, coming down the stairs answered the question, 'Where are you from?" He said, "New York," and the man replied, "You New York fellows are the ones we are after." He pushed Mrs. Carpenter aside and rushed up the stairs after Mr. Carpenter, shooting, and swearing atthe top of his voice. They entered different rooms, giving Mr. Carpenter a chance to come down and go to the cellar. There was no protection in the cellar, as the house was new and there were no partitions. Another man had come to help, and each one stationed at a window �controlled every part ofthe cellar. Still they kept on shooting. Mr. Carpenter, bleeding and full of their bullets, left the cellar by the outside steps, and fell in the backyard. Mrs. Carpenter fell over him, covering him, her arms about his head. The two assassins appeared and raising her arms, gave the fatal shot, then left to join the departing forces. Mrs. Carpenter said, "They have fired the house," so I put out the fire. It was one of the most terrible tragedies in all the dreadful work of that day - that dreadful day. I climbed a high fence that I never could have climbed except under great excitement, calling at the top of my voice for help, but there was no response until the band had all left. Left what? One hundred fifty men killed,150 buildings burried, and a million and a half of property destroyed. Left - no pen can tell! When I sh0U!d !ia"V~ finished my visit Mr. Morse was to come for me some Friday and preach for Doctor Cordley the following Sunday. He came that dreadful Friday, aboutthree hours after Quantrill had left. On his way he heard of Mr. Carpenter's death. A rude box was made by our friends, and Mr. CarPenter's body was laid in the yard. . Friday night came, the most terrible night I ever spent. Fires were burning all over the town. The smoke was suffocating, and the barking and howling of dogs helped to make the night frightful. There was no sleep that night. In "Pioneer Days" Doctor Cordley wrote, "So we laid our dead away and turned our attention to the living." The Sunday following we held a service in the old stone Congregational church. There was a large congregation, mostly women and children. Some of the men were in shirt-sleeves, not having saved even a coat, women in sunbonnets, some with hoods or shawls or handkerchiefs over their heads. Many of the women were newly-made widows, there with their fatherless children. There was a brief devotional service, but no sermon. I do not recall [what was said] except the scripture lesson read by Mr. Morse. It was the 79th Psalm. Everyone was startled when he read it. It seemed to have been written for the occasion. Mr. Morse seemed as much inspired in choosing it as the author in writing it. "Oh God, the heathen are come into thine inheritance. The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be meat unto the fowls of the heaven; the flesh of thy saints unto the beasts ofthe earth. Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem, and there was none to bury them." The congregation went away in silence. ................." .. __ CONTACT: Dr. Sam Dicks, 62.0-341-6431 July 24, 2001 __. . _ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Media Relations Home Page Copyright@ 2000 - Emporia State University.

Now that I've gotten your attention, let me pass on my condolences to the memory of many of the historical societies across the United States. "Wait a minute, "you say, "there are still historical societies!" All yes, but how many of them are in the following nearly condition? 1 - Low attendance. Where many used to fill the seats at the monthly . historical or genealogical society meeting, now just the faithful few manage to make it to hear the speaker for the evening? 2 - Lackluster meetings. Remember the stimulating and thought provoking meetings of the past? . Excellent speakers that had you taking minutes, asking questions and learning techniques? Or no speakers, non-genealogical, non-historical, non-promoted get-togethers? 3 - Arthritis syndrome. What is the average age of our memberships? Over SO? Over 60? Over 70? Where are the historical and genealogical experts of the future in our county? 4 Abundance of monies: dread of spending. How many years have many of our societies been meeting? Over 20 years, maybe 40 or more? Been collecting dues and having fund raisers all these years? What has been done with the money? Is it sitting in a bank account, bored to tears? Why isn't it being used to do something to preserve the past for the future? �5 - Family feuds. We all like to say that our genealogical friends are like family don't we? "Cousins" even. Why then are so many historical societies always in an uproar? Squabbling over little things. Not wanting to change anything because it worked in the past just . ! fine. 6Not connected? Not wired? Afraid to venture out into the cyberworld? Still typing your quarterlies on stencils? 7Ingrown officers? Same people doing the saine thing with the same attitudes year after year? No new officers with progressive ideas? Can't find a president if you paid them? If you saw your historical society in any of the above questions, we might be bidding you adieu in the near future. If your society is vibrant, growing and active, you can skip this tip all together. As I meet and correspond with societies all across the United States, I hear more and more of the above complaints. Many good, solid, old societies are literally imploding. Why? There are several reasons that I have discovered and they are hidden in the questions above. Once upon the time in the dark past, the county or area historical society was one of the most vibrant and well attending meetings in town. Yes, there were some that thought us weird for wanting to go to meetings about dead people, cemeteries and old buildings. But on the whole, the historical society was a trusted organization whose meetings were well covered by the press and brought out many of the finest people. Meetings were varied and active. But we failed to do a few things. We ignored the younger people. We became so in love with ourselves that it started to be "our society", and while guests were always welcome, they were not sought after. Then the school systems on large began to take less interest in history. Where history, ancient and American, was required every year in "grade school" (my generation's term), and at least a year or so in high school; now it isn't always offered, or is an elective. Our younger generation is losing contact with its past. Next came the ever-moving society. Where in older times, if we were born in a town, we grew up in that town, we went to school in that town, we married in that town, we raised our children in that town. We had contact with our parents, grandparents, often great-grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins by the dozens.· Story telling was an evening tradition and we heard tales of our family and how it was in the "good old days." We had roots and �they went deep. We knew most everyone in town and likely all about their lives too. We saw the patriotic parades, the honor paid to veterans, heard the church bells ringing and visited over the back fence. Today? We move and move and move. Oh, it's not all bad, my daughters and I have lived in 5 states and IJhouses in the last 29 years. We've made friends, left friends, learned cultures. But at one" time we were in one state, my parents in another, cousins and aunts arid uncles in another and we hadn't seen some of our family for 20 years! Now many are gone and it's too late to ask them about their memories. We just end up feeling connected to nothing, afraid really to put down those roots because it's hard digging them up again. And fmally, came the internet. Instead of reading microfilm and going prematurely into bifocals; driving all over.to visit courthouses and try to find a relative in some little town, we log on the internet and let us take us to far away places. Bad? No! But can you speak out loud to your computer? Can you make the connection with your family as closely as sitting across from the couch with a glass of lemonade? Progress is wonderful. But the average historical society has not kept pace. Many are dying and they have no idea they are terminal. How long has it been since you've been to your local historical society meeting? (I understand that some people are homebound and can't attend, or there is no one close; you are excused). How many times have you volunteered for a project - even suggested one? Even lfyou are not from the area where you live now and have no ties, join in with a society and give them some fresh blood and fresh ideas. Programs are difficult to put together. Sometimes in a smaller community there are not the good speakers that are willing to come out on a rainy or snowy night. Have you thought of maybe paying them to come? Remember all that money in the bank rotting away - we can't take it with us. Investigate some professional genealogical or historical speakers who do charge a fee and dip into the funds a tad. If there's no one that qualifies professionally - what about the older generation? You know the older we get, the more we like to remember (before we can't remember anymore), and we have some wonderful tales of earlier days. Have you thought of asking Granny Jones or Cousin Lum to come and just taik to the society? Tape them, video them, invite the kids! How do you get more members? It is harder now. We have the internet, cable tv, fast moving cars and planes, kids in every organization and sport imaginable and there's little time for anything else in our life. But if you build the field, they will come! Plan something special for your society that can involve the community, young I.l11d old. Picnics, homecomings, old-time pictures, old time crafts show with some of the older or more talented people in the community demonstrating how it used to be done. Don't fight the internet, use it! No queries anymore in your quarterly? �Most of us are zipping out emails by the hundreds to get (hopefully) instant response. We are a "give it to me and give it to me now" people anymore. We can't wait for snail mail, or waiting until the quarterly comes out with your query. Have you considered articles in your quarterly on "how to do internet genealogy"? Or even a beginning computer dours"e at a library I " or someplace with other computer access. Bring some of the younger generation in to help the older generation learn. I correspond via email with several individuals in their 90's! You're not too old to learn. " And lastly, back to money. There's security in a big bank account but it's not helping anything or anyone. Could your society help restore a historic building? Do a historical survey of old structures? Set up a walking or driving tour of the area? Donate to a society or organization that IS doing something and needing funds of a historical nature - maybe even a humanitarian nature? Build a house with Habitat for Humanity? Put on a genealogical symposium, a genealogical book fair? Put together a video production of the area for local television? Write columns for the local" paper? Volunteer at the next meeting even if you are a novice but want to learn? We must start growing and taking our vitamins or we're" out of here" as the youngers say. We will be delegated to the old newspapers our children and grandchildren will be reading in years to come. We serve a useful purpose, or we used to? Do we still? For those reading this tip who are members or officers of a growing and vibrant society, my hat's offto you. Keep it that way! (c) Copyright 6 November 2003, All Rights Reserved.

What is the Kansas Library Card? The new Kansas Library Card is a tool for remote electronic access to high quality information and research resources. 2. How do 1 get a Kansas Library Card? Apply in person at your local library or school. Many libraries and schools in Kansas participate in the Kansas Library Card program. The library or school may require some proof of your residency. The staff will use a computer to enter your fullname and date of birth . into the Kansas Library Card database. They will write or type your PIN on the front of a Kansas Library Card, and the date of issuance on the back of the card. You will then need to sign the back of the card in the space provided. The card is then ready for you to use. 3. How does the Kans~s Library Card Work? The card comes with a personal identification number (PIN) written on the front. This PIN, together with the cardholder's date of birth, allows the cardholder to login to the Kansas Library Card system (http://www.kslc.org) using any computer with Internet access. 4. What is the Kansas Library Card used for? The KSLC provides access to the following research databases:. o FirstSearch o InfoTrac o NetLibrary E-Books o SIRS Discoverer Deluxe (for grades K-12) o Heritage Quest o Literature Resource Center o Custom Newspapers o Proquest Nursing Journals o World Book 5. Where can 1 use the Kansas Library Card? The KSLC remote access program is intended for use at home or when you're away from your school orlocal library. Kansas academic, public, and school libraries should apply for direct access to the databases (via IP recognition, etc.) rather than use the KSLC program for in-library database access. 6.

This was found in some papers ofF~y Moys, a longtime resident of Lawrence.. This is an article from the Lawrence Journal World by Larry Stroup. There was not a date available but it would be before 1983. I KU play is special for local woman by Larry Stroup. Not very often can you sit before an opera and watch a relative's life unfold before your eyes. But Miss Fay Moys of 620 Kentucky will dojust that Tuesday night; March 8. Miss Moys is the. great niece of Horace AW. Tabor, upon whose life "The Ballad of Baby Doe" is based. She is the first known relative ever to view the opera. It will be presented March 8,10 and 11 at8pm in University Theatre, Music and Dramatic Arts Building at Kansas university. Horace Austin Warner Tabor, known at the peak of his fame as H.AW., was a stonecutter in his native Vermont before he came to Kansas more than 100 years ago. Born Nov. 26, 1830, in Holland, Vt., he joined a free soil group, and arrived in Kansas in 1856, with his prim and practical New England wife.Augusta. Tabor settled in Riley County, and while there served as a member of the Topeka Legislature, which was dispersed by order of President Franklin Pierce. The Tabors moved to Denver in 1859 and in the following year to California Gulch (now Leadville). While H.AW. hunted for gold and dreamed of wealth, Augusta remained realistic. The lavish life Tabor sought did not appeal to her. After 20 years of poverty, Horace made his fortune in Leadville by purchasing an interest in the Little Pittsburgh silver mine. With a bonanza strike in the Little Pittsburgh, everything he had and touched turned to wealth. At the end of 1879 he sold his interest in the mine for $1 million and bought the Matchless Mine for about $10.000 and purchased half interest in the First National Bank in Denver. Hewas netting $100,000 a month at the time. About this time, Baby Doe, moved to Leadville. Born in Oshkosh, Wis., she was ambitious as well as beautiful and had married the mayor's son, Harvey Doe. He failed to make their Central City, Colo., mine pay offand spent more and more time in beer halls. Eventually ,Baby Doe left him. She·was just 20 and at the height of her beauty when she moved to Leadville. Having heard about fiftyish Tabor and his millions she immediately engineered a "chance" meeting. They did meet, and Tabors wife, who would not accept his wealth, drew more and more apart from Tabor. Finally, H.AW. arranged a divorce and was granted a secret one in Durango. Baby Doe and H.A W. were married secretly in St. Louis in 1882. They returned to Leadville where the local society turned against him in protest of this treatment of Augusta. .31 �Tabor gained more and more wealth. But financial troubles began for him during the panic of 1893 and the struggle over free gold and silver coinage. His fortune collapsed completely in 1896, after his attempt at backing William Jennings Bryan for the presidency on a "Free Silver" platform. An almost joyful Denver expected Ba~y Doe to leave him immediately. But she remained loyal, not only through his lifetime but until her own death on March 7, 1935, when she was found frozen to death on the floor of her cabin at the Matchless Mine. Tabor had died penniless in 1899. Perhaps generations here do not recall the Tabor name, but H.AW.'s kinfolk played a part in the early settlement of Lawrence. H.AW.'s sister, Emily Jane Moys(and Miss· Moys grandmother) resided in Lawrence for 63 years. Mrs. Moys and her husband, William Moys, a soldier of the Civil War, settled in Lawrence. He died Nov. 5, 1869, as a result of wounds received during the war, leaving Mrs. Moys to care for their four children. Mrs. Moys died at her home in Lawrence on May 15, 1920. She had been among the first to come to Kansas, and like others of that early day, came with the avowed intention tp make Kansas a free state. They arrived in Lawrence on April 7, 1857, just three years after the city was founded oil a steamboat from Kansas City. Miss Moys dug into the family history to produce a record of a letter her grandmother had written . concerning Lawrence. Mrs. Moys wrote: "I arrived in Lawrence April 7, 1857.1 have no need to tell you of what Lawrence was at that time. 1 came with my two brothers, John and H.AW.and theirwives~ .. " .. .It was one of those days that wind blew as it did many times in Kansas, a perfect gale all day. My brother said "This is the beauty of Kansas, we always have a breeze." 1 was one of the party that came on the steamboat 'Lightfoot' from Quindaro (near present day Kansas City, Kans.) To Lawrence. These Kansas breezes kept us three days on this trip - a breeze took our boat near the shore, a tree tore down the smoke stack, and our rations were low but now happy we were when we caught the first glimpse of Lawrence. The citizens here, 1 guess were nearly all on the banks of the Kaw ready to give us a royal welcome. They had a little cannon which they fired as a salute, . and those of us who could sing went on deck and sang, 'The Kansas Emigrant Song'. "The first night 1 stayed in Kansas 1 stayed at the home of Mrs. Haskell (mother of Senator D.C. . Haskell). "The next day 1 went to my brother's home, a cabin covered with bark near the lake (Lakeview). Miss Moys recalled hearing that when Quantrill was reported heading for Lawrence, her �grandmother and family were living in the 400 block on Mississippi. "Grandmother put the two children in baby buggy and hurried to the hillswest of tow," Miss Moys said. The hills are those in the country club terrace area. "Tabor was very kind to his sister. After her husband died, he returned to Lawrence and bought her a home at 331 Ind. St. and the lots around it," Miss Moys recounted. "My great uncle kept in touch with his sister. Baby Doe did too. Grandmother went to Colorado to visit them once," she related. H.A.W's father, Cornelius Dunham Tabor, lived out his remaining years in Lawrence. He died July 13, 1888. in Denver while visiting his son. But was returned to Lawrence and is buried in Oak Hill Cemetery~ . Miss Moys, a lifelong resident of Lawrence, is excited about seeing the opera. She has had arrangements made for opening night. Miss Moys was in charge of the reserve desk at Watson Library on the KU campus for 20 years. She resigned in 1947. Among her many interests is painting in oils. A number of her paintIngs .decorate the living room of her home. Guest director from New York especially for the production is Bill Butler, a native Kansas, born in Eureka, Butler received his A.B. degree in English at UCLA, graduating cum laude. The Broadway director is well known in New York for his work in both opera and theater. He has worked with the Phoenix Theater, New York City Opera, Santa Fe Opera and NBC-TV Opera on tour.

Tabot; Sharon Tebbenkamp, Salisbury, Mo., sophomore as Augusta Tabor; Mary Lou Powell, Topeka senior as Baby Doe;; and Janet Wagner, Belleville, Ill., sophomore as Mrs McCourt (Baby'S mother). 33 �DOUGLAS COUNTY LAND OWNERS, 1857 This infonnation was on a floppy disk from pasttimes.

PIONEER CEMETERY - BALDWIN CITY,KS Documentation & Research The Pioneer Cemetery contains the remains of many of the earliest settlers to the Baldwin area. There has been no intennents since 1920, so many of the families of the deceased are no longer in the immediate area to maintain oversight of the graves. As you qm see from the following table, most of the burials were during the earliest history of the area.· BURIALS BY DECADE 5 1850's 65 1860's 29 1870's 16 1880's· 1890's 1900's 1910's 1920's 9 8 3 1 Some research has been done at several times in the past to document the burials in Pioneer Cemetery, but some of that infonnation is no longer readily available .. The copy of the original plot map of the cemetery is at the Baldwin Public Library. The deterioration of many of the tombstones through erosion and vandalism is taking its toll. It has become obvious that photographing all the tombstones is a way of retaining the infonnation contained thereon, even if the tombstone were to disappear. This work has been completed and a copy each of these photographs is now available at the Baldwin City Library. In 1969, the administration of the cemetery was assumed by the Oakwood Cemetery Board. Because there was no documentation as to exact locations of the burials, the "lost tombstones" were gathered and placed into a row at the front of the cemetery. This was a nice gesture, but it would have been nice if a more detailed cemetery lay-out would have permitted restoration of the tombstones at the site of the original burial. By mapping all the tombstones and determinitig the lot locations for all remaining tombstones, it is hoped that any future need to identify burial locations will permit re-installation of the stone very near the original location. During the more intensive effort to photograph and locate the tombstones, we have found 6 tombstones that were reported as lost and two additional interments that did not show up on any previous list ofburiaL'i at Pioneer Cemetery. Unfortunately, we also found that 2 stones previously on lists, could no longer be found .. The. detailed listing that has been created gives a better 0PPOI1Unity to identify any disappearances, and with the photograph, to show the public what is missing and what it looked like. Gathering infonnation about these pioneers of Baldwin ar·ea, permits us to better understand our heritage and share it with future generations. Infonnation about many of these pioneers has been assembled with the photographs, such that researchers may fmd more than just a name. Civil War service has been identified with 9 of the I;>urials .. �BACKGROUND FACTS: 1. ·PIONEER CEMETERY CONSISTS OF 20 ACRES (660' X 1320') Capable of holding about 6~600burials,...
