EARLY RECOLLECTIONS OF KANSAS AND LAWRENCE by E. G. Day. (The following was copied from the Kansas Daily Journal-World, Lawrence, Ks. Aug. 8, 1939. I was born in Richland County, Ohio, Dec. 18, 1854. In 1858 my father David Bonnell Day, in search of cheap land, moved his family to southeast Missouri was a hot-bed of pro-slavery sentiment. Three years later in 1861 just at the outbreak of the Civil War, that section of the country was not a very healthy location for Union men. They were called by the natives "black abolitionists." So we decided to move to Kansas. We traveled from Jefferson City, Mo., to Leavenworth, Kan., on a Missouri river steamboat. During this trip we were hung up on a sandbar thirty-six house. From Leavenworth we went to Oskaloosa. Kansas Territory was just at this time admitted into the Union as a state. At this time the air was full of alarms and rumors. Each county seat was organizing and drilling companies of militia. My father belonged to the Oskaloosa Company. Finally a report came that the rebels were planning a raid through Missouri into Kansas. The militia was ordered to march down to the border to repel the invasion. They were encamped near a farm belonging to an old Indian by the name of "Mudeater." On this farm was a large apple orchard which was loaded with apples. Mr. Mud-eater, being a friendly old fellow, told the boys to help themselves to apples and cider, which they did, not bring afflicted with bashfulness. Needless to say they had a jolly outing; and in thirty days were ordered home again not having had a taste of war. Kansas Soldiering did not always turn out so pleasantly. Kansas furnished more soldiers according to population than any other state in the Union and many of them saw plenty of strenuous service. In the fa" of 1862 we moved to Lecompton, the abandoned pro-slavery capital of Kansas territory. $50,000. had been spent on a capital building. The walls of this building were standing just as they were at the collapse of the pro-slavery bubble two years before. The basement walls were completed and the walls of the first story were up to about half-way, The first story floor joist were in and the doors and window frames were set. This woodwork was all carried away later by the neighbors; It belonged now to any and everybody since Kansas was a state and Topeka was the capital. After locating in Lecompton, my father, who was a blacksmith by trade, formed a partnership with Thomas Hartup who was a wagon maker. They carried on a general manufacturing and repair business. At this time nearly every tool used on the farm was made by hand so they were a very bury firm. They even.made complete wagons, but they did not make much money. Times were hard and money was very scarce. I remember old Mr. Hildenbrand from the Stull neighborhood came to the shop one day to get some repairing done. He was complaining about the low price of country produce. He said; "Butter is so cheap I grease my mowi~g machine with butter." Notwithstanding the low price of stuff the farmer raised, the price of what they had to buy was very high. Flour was $12. per barrel. Sugar was 25 cents per pound, coffee was out of sight, so the poor people did without, using instead parched grain, principally rye, together with some bitter stuff they called coffee extract. Prints (cloth) such as you now buy for ten to fifteen cents per yard was 40 cents per yard. Wages were low, for common labor one dollar to $1.25 per day, for mechanics $1.50 to $2.50 for ten hours. Early on the morning of August 21, 1863, the people in Lecompton saw a heavy black cloud hanging off southeast toward Lawrence. We were watching and wondering what was the cause. About 8 o'clock Mr. Migliario (Mark), and Italian who lived a couple of miles west of Lecompton, came thru town riding on the gallop, waving his arms and shouting; "Lawrence is burnt", Lawrence is burnt." Then we understood the cause of the cloud. It was smoke from the burning city. Mr. Migliario was a stone mason and had been working in Lawrence riding from his home and back each day. On this morning he went as usual and when he came in sight of Lawrence he saw the city burning he turned back and brought the news to Lecompton, My father and several other men secured horses and started at once for Lawrence where they arrived about eleven o'clock, just after Quantrill and his raiders had left. They said it was a terrible sight: the smoking ruins and the dead bodies lying on the sidwalks. This was the climax of a" the years ofturmoil and strife which the people of Lawrence had endured during the border war; and of course was a terribk, shock. But after a short time they tightened their belts, so to speak, and went to work and built larger .and better than before. Among the different businesses that survived the raid I will mention first Wilder and Palm Wagon and Plowmakers and general blacksmithing. I mention this firm first as I felt more interest in them because immediately after the raid my father went to work for them and worked for them a year. The next spring we moved to �, . There were a number of churches but I was more Lawrence. Some time before the raid a young mechanic by interested in the Methodist church as my parents the name of Andrew Palmquist had come to belongs there. This was the old church in the 700 Lawrence from Sweden. After being here a while block on Vermont street. It was sometimes call the~ he dropped the "quist' from his name and was "Morgue", because after Quantrill's raid a number of known thereafter as Andrew Palm. He was John the bodies of the victims were brought here for Wilder's partner. One day Palm showed Mr. Wilder identification. The pastor's name was Paddock. a drawing of a Swedish windmill. Mr. Wilder was at The Sunday School superintendent's name was once taken with the drawing and plans and they Hard. The old church building is still standing. I was decided to build one. Mr. Palm sent to Sweden a kid nine years old but I well remember the and secured twelve young mechanics who came to procession that marched from the old church to the Lawrence and built the windmill. It was built to location of the new brick church on the corner of supply power for a plough factory and also grinding Tenth and Massachusetts street, where the grain for the farmers. The liquor business in Masonic temple now stands. The occasion was the Lawrence was well reprensented. R. W. laying of the cornerstone. The Masons had charge Luddington operated a wholesale liquor store and of the ceremony. In the procession marched there were a half dozen saloons and last but not Squire Ladd. He was a short heavy-set an and least was Falruf's brewery and the "brewer's big sported a bay window that looked like it might have horses," supplying the saloons with beer. He also been acquired at the aforementioned beer garden; maintained out at the brewery a beer garden. anyway, it was quite a protuberance. In addition to Buch's German band furnished music and the that he had a tape around his neck attached to a Germans and others would spend each Sunday board that extended out in front for some distance there refreshing themselves with beer. The old and on this board he carried a Bible. Of course I brewery is still standing just north of the old hospital could only see the funny part of it for he occupied building which was recently torn down. The quite a space in the procession. building was Walru's residence. The livery stables Lawrence at this time did not own a public school did a flourishing business. There were about six of building. Rooms were rented at different places for them. The young bloods of the town would hire a school purposes. I went for a short time to a room high-stepping horse hitched to a rubber tired over Griffith's and Duncan's hardware store, now buggy and would take their best girl out riding each Ober's clothing store and also to a liquor pleasant evening. warehouse that stood where the Wren building William Hazeltine operated a bakery. He did a now stands. My teacher at this place was a Miss general baking business and made a specialty of Sweet. A man used to visit her at recess times and ¢,"Lincoln pie." The pie was conncoted ~ most judging from the frequency of his visits she must of everything, including raisins and currants and I have been very sweet to him. Then I went to don't know what else. It was baked in a large pan school in the old Unitarian church basement. This about two feet square. The pie was cut into square church stood on Ohio street just north of Tenth and pieces about four inches each and was sold for five the town clock was on it. Our playground extended cents a square--not nickels, mind you, for nickels from Ninth to Tenth and from Ohio street as far west did not exist and there was no hard money in as we cared to go. On west from our playground as circulation. The money was all paper and was called far as the stadium there was a hazel and plum "Shin-plasters." There were five, ten, twenty-five thicket. There was nothing on the hill. About and fifty-cent pieces. where Moll's bakery now stands, there was a On the southeast corner of Ninth and Vermont colored school. Just west of that was a big ravine street there was a carriage factory owned and about 25 feet wide and 15 to 10 feet deep. The operated by Swedes. The owner's name was boys from our school would go down there during Olson. Charles Achning, who died a couple of the noon hour and fight the colored boys across years ago, told me the following funny yearn about the raving. They fired rocks, sticks, clods, or these Swedes: They were having a little "Jug anything they could get hold of and always not to party" one night. One of them asked his neighbor kill tho as far a I know there was nobody hurt. I well to pass the "Yug." Olson burst out laughing. They remember the morning of April 14, 1865. Just asked him what he was laughing at and he said, "So before school was 'taken up: the news came that ,..",. and so." calling his , _ name, "can't say 'yug.' he President Lincoln was killed. Needless to say , calls it a yug'. everyone was shocked as was the whole nation. ;'1 �The whole country at this time was rejoicing over the close of the war. This tragedy was a terrible shock to the South as well as the North. For the South realized that in his death they had lost their best friend. West Lawrence from Seventh to Ninth street and from Mississippi street west was a comfield. Central Park was a hole in the ground. And South Park was a fruit tree nursery. It was leased to a man named Phillips. His lease specified that at its expiration he should leave shade trees distributed over the park. The business of the town was confined principally to the seven and eight hundred blocks. I can remember when there was nothing on the east side of Massachusetts Street from the Patee theater location on south to ninth except a livery stable and a blacksmith shop. Just across Tenth street where Carter's garage is now located was Governor's lumber yard. At this time natural gas had not arrived and electricity was not in use. Some time later a gas factory was erected for the purpose of manufacturing gas from coal. The factory was located on Eighth Street between New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The city was then lighted with gas. "Jack the Lamp Lighter' would start out in the evening with his little ladder, set it up against a lamp-post, jump up and strike a match and turn a valve and the light was on, and on he would go to the next post. There was no paving on the streets. It was dust in the dry time and mud in the wet. The sidewalks where there were any were board walks. The yards were fenced in. A number of the people kept cows and these cows were allowed to roam where they pleased, so it was necessary to fence the yards. We had a cow and my little sister Ella and I used to go out near the old windmill and drive our cow home each evening. There was no bottled milk. The milkman would drive around in a I~tle onehorse wagon and deliver@!?'to his customers. He'would stop at the gate and ring his little bell and the customer would come out and he would measure the milk into the pitcher and drive on to the next stop. This was not quite up to the sanitary ideas of today. �Dear Genealogists: t Knowing what a valuable tool obituaries can be for genealogists. ,I have been clipping obituaries from the Los Angeles Times and the Orange County Register.

The dining room table with clutter was spread With pedigree charts and with letters which said .... "Too bad about the data for which you wrote Sank in a storm on an ill fated boat." Stacks of old copies of wills and the such Were proof that my work had become much too much. Our children were nestlf;!d all snug in their beds, While visions of sugarplums danced in their heads. And 1 at my table was ready to drop >From work on my album with photos to crop. Christmas was here, and of such was my lot That presents and goodies and toys 1 forgot. Had I not been so busy with grandparents' wills, I'd not have forgotten to shop for such thrills. While others had bought gifts that would bring Christmas cheer; I'd spent time researching those birthdates and years. While 1 was thus musing about my sad plight, , A strange noise on the lawn gave me a great fright. Away to the window I flew in a flash, Tore open the drapes and 1 yanked up the sash. When what to my wondering eyes should appear? But an overstuffed sleigh and eight small reindeer. L --~~==================~~ o Up to the housetop the reindeer they flew, With a sleigh full of toys, and old Santa Claus too. And then in a twinkle, 1 heard on the roof The prancing and pawing of thirty -two hoofs. The TV antenna was no match for their horns, Look at our roof with hoof-prints adorned. As I drew in my head, and bumped it on the sash, Down the cold chimney fell Santa - KER-RASH! "Dear" Santa had come from the roof in a wreck, And tracked soot on the carpet, (I could wring his short neck!) Spottmg my face, ·good old Santa could see I had no Christmas spirit you'd haye to agree. --7--- ----- �_T ______ _ He spok; not a word, but went straight to his work . And ftlled all the stockings, (l felt like a jerk). Here was Santa, who'd brought us such gladness and JOY; When I'd been too busy for even one toy. He spied my research on the table all spread "A genealogist!" He cried! (My face was all red!) o "Tonight I've met many like you", Santa grinned. As he pulled from his sack a large book he had penned. I gazed with amazement - the cover it read "Genealogy Lines for Which You Have Plead." "I know what it's like as a genealogy bug," He said as he gave me a great Santa Hug. "While the elves make the sleighful of toys I now carry, I do some research in the North Pole Library! A special treat I am thus able to bring, To genealogy folks who can't find a thing. Now off you go to your bed for a rest, I'll clean up the house from this genealogy mess." As I climbed up the ~airs full of gladness and glee, I looked back at Santa who'd brought much to me. While settling in bed, I heard Santa's clear whistle, To his team which then rose like the down of a thistle And I heard him exclaim as he flew out of sight, "Family History is Fun! Merry Christmas! Goodnight!"
