�DOUGLAS COUNTY GENEALOGICAL LmRARY, OSMA ROOM
The Board of the DCGS has reviewed our collection of books in the Osma Room in the
Lawrence Public Library. Many of the''how-to" books are out-of-date, while other resource
books were donated by persons with specific interests in other areas of the country. They are
good books but are not likely to be used and take up space that is needed for more appropriate
locally focused materials. This is a preliminary step in transferring the DCGS books to the
Library, which will enable the Library to catalog the volumes. The "retained titles" will then
show up in the online catalog. The books that are being removed, have been made available for
purchase to the Society's members and the general public. The Society voted to do this transfer
last year.
The collection will then concentrate on Lawrence, Douglas County, Kansas, the surrounding
states and the general migration states.
We will then be considering discontinuing the number of exchanges of quarterlies that we do
with other societies. There are several reasons for this; cost of printing and mailing, space for
storage, lack of use and need for volunteer time in filing the quarterlies. We will only eliminate
exchanges that are indexed in PERSI. PERSI in an index of genealogy publications maintained
by Allen County Library in Indiana. This index is available through Heritage Quest through the
Lawrence Public Library, free with you Library card, The articles can be obtained from Allen
County for a small cost. (See list of possible titles that will be discontinued elsewhere in the
Pioneer.)
We will continue to have the books on individual family histories in the Library and will retain
the ones that are there now. In addition we will be expanding that part of the collection in the
future.
The Society had a successful sale of the titles mentioned during July. The titles remaining will be
offered at the Book Sale of the Lawrence Public Library this fall.
We welcome comments.
Editor.burchill@ku.edu

FROM THE PRESIDENT
The Society has made some exciting decisions. We are in the process of turning over the
Society's books that are in the Osma Room to the Lawrence ~blic Lib.rary. There is an ru:ticle
explaining this later in this issue of the Pioneer. The same artlcl~ exp~ams what w~ are domg
with exchange quarterlies. Our energies will now be put on famtly history collecting for the
Osma Room. We welcome any suggestions about any aspect of the Society and always welcome
help with projects.
The small but dedicated group who keeps the Society running is very much appreciated. Thank
you all very much. Mary Burchill

Map ofan exploring expedition to the Rocky Mountains in the 1842 and to Oregon &amp; north California in the years
1843-44, by John Charles Fremont, published in 1845.

A Fresh Look at the Lecompton Historical
Society's Gieseman Map
Collection
..
Raymond Gieseman was born a few miles downriver
While many of us have been delighted at their
.

from Lecompton in Williamstown, a small burg for
even this part of rural Kansas. He enjoyed a
distinguished career as an educator; economist, statistician for the u.s. Labor Department in Washington,
D.C., historian and collector of all manner of papers
and artifacts regarding Kansas Territorial history. He
lived in a large apartment on Washington, D.C. 's
Massachusetts A venue, which often is described as
Embassy Row. And indeed, Gieseman's apartment
was filled with so much Kansas Territory and
Lecompton historical data and memorabilia that it was
known as "the Lecompton Embassy."
On one of his many trips to Lecompton, he told our
president, Paul Bahnmaier, that he would sit in his
high school classroom and look across the Kansas
River toward Lecompton. "He told me that even back
when he was in school he was fascinated by
Lecompton's history," Paul recalls. "He was a great
friend to our society."
When Mr. Gieseman died in 1988, he bequeathed
many books of historical importruice and Congressional
papers of the 1850s to the Lecompton Historical
Society. He also gave the Society 72 maps, many
dating to and before the establishment ofthe Territory
of Kansas in 1854.
2

strange and changing county boundaries, the handcolored borders and the early dates on them, from
1802 onward, the Society has never determined just
what to do with the treasures that the maps are nor,
significantly, how to make them more accessible to
visitors.
It's a process, an ongoing effort to learn about the
import and significance of Mr. Gieseman's gift.
So enter Barbara McCorkle, one of the growing
number of educators and professionals returning to
Douglas County after distinguished careers. We were
introduced to her by Justice Fred Six, the distinguished
jurist who is fast becoming one of Douglas County's
leading historians. In a classic understatement, Justice
Six said, "She worked with maps at Yale University."
Indeed. Barbara McCorkle was the map ,curator at
the Yale University Library from 1979 to 1993.
Earlier, she had been married to KU's Professor
Oswald Backus. During her Kansas years she was
associate librarian at the Spencer Research Library,
from 1968 to 1874.
President Paul and our Museum Administrator,
Vicki Leochner, joined in welcoming the former Yale
librarian. Mrs. McCorkle, attired in a KU Endacott
Society of Retirees cardigan,·was delighted to see

,

�KansaslNebraska map on the wall. She said, "Oh my!
That's such a lovely one. That's a beautiful job of
framing, especially with its leather carrying case."
The book-sized red leather jacket is mounted just
below the 30-inch by 40-inch map, and together with
the map, it makes a wonderful presentation.
It's one of about a half dozen that Mr. Gieseman had
framed before donating them. "He certainly knew
how to take care of his collection and how to frame
them beautifully," she says.
We look at map after map, some by J.H. Colton of
New York, others by 1. Disturnell or S.A. Mitchell. It
gives you a chill to see the original work of famous
explorers like Brevet Capt. John Fremont in 1842 and
1843 on his way to New Mexico and Capt. Zebulon
Pike of Pike's Peak fame.
Then Paul pulls out a roll-down, window-shade-like
wall map. It's big, maybe five-feet square-a fourcolor map of the United States published in 1855, just
a year after the enactment of Kansas Territory by
Congress. Barbara goes to her hands and knees and
the rest of us follow. "I love the vignettes on these
maps. Look at the detail on those ships," she says.
They are remarkable. The miniature line drawings
of ships are about the size of a silver dollar and have
been placed randomly on the seven seas. They depict
ships of the period, from side-mounted paddlewheel
steamers to the graceful Clipper ships, barkentines
land sailing yachts. The map and its featutes all are
bordered by an intricate design unique to the map.
This particular map, a Gaston &amp; Johnson of Nassau
St., New York City, especially enchants her. "I saw a
similar period map like this, it wasn't in as fme
condition, on the Antiques' Roadshow imd it was
estimated to be valued at $25,000."
"There are different theories about how to exhibit
and protect these wall maps," she says. "One, you can
hang it up and it'll have some strain. Or you can leave
it rolled up or placed open in a map case. All have
their problems. I think I'd do a really fine job of
hanging this one. It's in exceptional condition and
should stay that way."

The LHS maps, she adds, are a "treasme trove. Mr.
Gieseman clearly was a serious collector who left the
Society maps worth mega bucks. Many of them are
worth four and five figures."
She particularly likes the Gunn maps of the Kansas
·gold fields. Mike Kelly, Wichita State University
Curator of Special Collections; agrees with her that
they are exceptional. "Those maps are highly prized
these days," he says. "The Lecompton Historical
Society's collection is one you would not expect
except in a major university or museum."
All of the maps are stored in mylar folders. Kelly
and McCorkle say the LHS should consider scanning
the maps for digital display and encapsulating them in
sealed mylar. That of course is not in tM LHS budget.
As more historical information is added to the
Lecompton Kansas.com Internet site and as more
people interested in Kansas history come to the site,
it's clear much of the Gieseman collection should be
made accessible that way. The next project will be
completing grant requests for the funds to update the
LHS storage facilities and, perhaps, to better exhibit
them. But as the Yale librarian concludes, "You've
done a good job protecting and preserving them .
. That's what is most important."

the Wichita State University Libraries,
Department of Special Collections. They are of
identical period maps found in the LHS

Capital Museum at Lane University.

This relationship chart can help you
determine your relationship to the
persons whose names you submit for
temple work. When submitting names
on a family group record, your
relationship to either the husband or
wife must be a relationship from this
chart (or an extension of this chart)not a step odn-Iaw relationship.

KEY TO USING THE
RELA TIONSHIP CHART
I. To determine the relationship of the

brothers (or sisters) of direct ancestors,
follow the horizontal linj: from the
direct ancestor.

EXAMPLES:
a. The brother of your 6 g g father is
is your 6 g g uncle. Your relationship
to him is shown in parentheses
immediately below the uncle relationship - in :this case 6 g g nephew.
b. The sister of your 6 g g father is
your 6 g gaunt.
2. To determine your relationship to

71

the children of the brothers (and sisters)
of your direct ancestors, follow the
vertical line down from the uncle (or
aunt) relationship.

EXAMPLE:
a. The son of your 4 g g uncle is your
Ic5r.
b. The grandson of your g g uncle is
your 2clr.

�THE FAMILY TREE
Legal degrees of kinship

Lines indicate the paths of direct descendancy. Numbers in the circles indicate the degree
of kindred to the principle. Full cous~ are in heavy black circles. Cousins to the left are
"cousins.in the ascendanCy." Cousins to the right are "cousins in descendency."

�PARTIAL INDEXES TO 1885 CENSUS
The alphabetical list of residents starting on page 24 in the 1886 City Directory for
Lawrence can be used to determine the Ward in which a resid.ent lived, thus eliminating the
need to search all six Wards. Most of the adUlt males and some females are listed in the
directory, so it can be a great time-saver for census searches. By using th.e address listed in the
directory, and the information about streets and Wards below, the searcher can learn which
Ward to search in the census.
Although the 1886 City Directory doesn't list residents outside Lawrence, the 1890-91
directory does. Starting on page 230, the "Directory of the Farmers and Land Owners of Douglas
County, Kansas"shows the name of the Township inwhich-each fatIil is located. Thus, for the
farm families who didn't move across Township lines between 1885 and 1890, the census user
can narrow the search from nine Townships to only one.

�TEN YEARS OF BALDWIN LEDGER PUBLICATION-1894
FROM: The Baldwin Ledger. 5 Jan. 1894, page 2

The Baldwin Ledger is ten years old. It is a combination of two papers the Criterion and the
Visitor. The Criterion was owned by John Brady and 1. L. Brady, the Visitor by 1. W. Lee &amp; Co.
The Bradys bought out the Visitor and then 1. L. Bristow purchased the entire outfit and changed the
name to Ledger.
.
.
Ten years have made great changes in Baldwin and we are glad to say that they have all been for
ihe advancemeni of ihe iown.
Some people will not advertise and so we cannot tell whether our list of the business mOen olthat
time is complete or not. From an issue of that date we learn that the following were in business here:
Dugger Bros., grocers; Bodwell &amp; Galbreath, general merchandise; J. D. Smith, hardware; 1. G.
Schnebly, Druggist; A. W. Smith, Blacksmith; S. W. Tyron, painter and decorator; M. I. Crosby,
hardware; R. W. Bailey, boots and shoes; D. Chaney, grocer; Jones Bros., livery and feed stable; A.
A. B. Cavaness, books and stationary; W. Bristow, furniture and undertaking; W. A. Hyde; jeweler;
L. B . .Keifer, dry goods; S. J. Humbert, millinery and dressmaking; W. D. Martin, physician; Geo.
S. Dow, physician; Bodwell &amp; Stuart, meat market; F. Thompson, physician; J. M. Starr, barber.
Of this list of good business men but six are now in business here. Then we had two groceries, now
we have four very large ones. Then we had one meat market and it would often close in the summer
time, now we have three. Then we had one book store, not very large, for it had just been started,
and before that time what books there were had been kept in a general store, now we have t\vo good
book stores which carry as large a stock as can be found in any town in the state ten times as large.
Then the furniture store was upstairs now it 'is down where it can be seen. Then we had one drug
store, now we have three. And so it was all along the line ofthe business part ofthe town. But just
think of it, ten years ago Baldwin had no bank. The business men carried their money home every
night in a sock, and often when they had several hundred dollars to look after, they did not sleep very
comfortably. Now we have a bank which has stood the severe test of the past summer and today is
as sound as any bank in the country. Who would think of getting along without a bank now?
It would take too long an article to show the difference in the buildings of the town. It is safe to
say, however, that not one half of the business houses which we now have were built at that time.
The residences have increased almost without number. Their name is Legion. At that time there was
but one house between Eighth street and the depot, which was then located in Media. And there was
no sidewalk to the depot then, either. From some streets the people would "cut across lots:' to get
to a store.
Probably the greatest reason for this great increase in the improvements Of the town is the growth
of the University., There a,re about twice as many students as there were ten years ago and the
number of the members of the faculty has about doubled. Centenary Hall was not built then and old
Stone Hall was all we had. Football was hardly heard of at all in the west, but during the last week,
the Denver, Kansas City, St. Louis, Chicago and New York dailies have sung the praises of the
Baker Univer~ity football team and Harper's Weekly has given space to speak of our school and
'town.'
' .
,

'

I

During this time, while men have been improving the town in buildings, nature has aided them
also. There is probably no town in Kansas that is as beautifully shaded as Baldwin. The University
has by far the most beautiful campus of any school in this part of the west. The streets have been
greatly improved by grading and greater pride than ever is taken by the citizens in keeping up the
lawns and terraces.
,
But with all these great improvements there is' yet room for greater advancement. And this we

103

�intend to do in the next ten years. If the number of students has doubled in the past ten years, why
cannot it double in the next ten years? If the business houses and residences here greatly increase
in the years gone by, why should they not increase also in the years to come. We cannot afford to
have things come to a standstill and we will not allow them to either. We look for nothing but
, brighter days. We rejoice in the past. We are also Very hopeful for the future.

MORE HISTORY
The Baldwin Ledger, 29 Dec. 1893
The following letter from W.e. Bridwell is quite interesting considering the fact ofthe discussion
concerning the history of the newspapers of Baldwin being so prominent now in a certain circle.
Dodd City, Ark., Dec,25, 1893
EDITOR- LEDGER: Seeing that there is some controversy in regard to the history ofthenewspapers of
Baldwin, I beg leave to submit my testimony. Having worked for every firm that has controlled the paper
since the beginning, except the present publishers, I deem myself a competent witness.
The Baldwin Criterion was started in November, 1883, by L. A Sheward, who continued its public,ation
until April 1885. A Mr. Fish, his father-in-law, was associated with him part of the time, although he was
never in Baldwin but once. The Baldwin ,Visitor was issued first in the spring of 1884, by 1. W. Lee &amp; sons,
the firm consisting of J. W., Henry, and Clint Lee. When it first appeared it was printed on the job press now
in the Ledger office, but it was afterwards enlarged and C. K. Jones became interested in the concern.
In April, I think it was, 1885, the Criterioh was purchased by Brady &amp; Bristow, the firm consisting of John
Brady, Jr., and J. L. Bristow. Soon afterward the firm purchased the Visitor also, and the two were
consolidated.
As for the name (Ledger), it Was the joint work of Wm. Bristow and John Brady. J. L. Brady and J. L.
Bristow first named the paper calling it the Baldwin Messenger, but when J. Leeford saw the name in cold
type it did not suit him. The result was a disagreement which was finally adjusted by leaving the christening
to the above named. I was the first person to put the name in type.
Soon afterward the Bradys sold out their interest to Bristow and J. L. Brady took part of the material from
both offices to Jetmore. The oldjob press and paper cutter are to be found today in the office of the Jetmore
Siftings, as is some of the other material. Bristow continued the publication for over a year and then sold
out to Scott &amp; Co., the company being Miss Mary Scott. W. H. Finch next secured the paper and in tum sold
it to Moorhead &amp; Son, from whom the present company bought it.
Hoping that my mite will be acceptable and that the Ledger may enjoy a decade of prosperity, I remain
yours truly,
W. C. Bridwell.

-----------A LETTER FROM EDITOR BRADY
The Baldwin Ledger, 5 Jan. 1894
EDITOR- LEDGER
Mr. Bridwell's very interesting letter, regarding the early newspaper history of Baldwin, is not quite
complete, but through no fault of his, of course. The name Messinger was selected by Dr. W. R. Davis. This
was the name of the first paper ever published in Baldwin, or rather I believe Dr. Davis said it was published
in Prairie City. It was the preceeding generation, commonly known as sires, also objected to the name
Messenger and therefore they agreed upon the present very pretty name Baldwin Ledger. Permit to say here
that in all my newspaper experience I have never been in a town where I liked so nearly everybody as that
good old town of Baldwin, where the men are comrades and the sisters good motherly souls.
With Great Respect,
J. L. Brady.'

�OLD SETTLER'S REUNION AT BALDWIN
The Baldwin Ledger, 5 Oct. 1923
Residents of Kansas 40 Years or More are Eligible to Annual Reunion To Be Held at M. E.
Church This Year
Forty years with the Kansas Sunflower - entitles you to attend the annual old settlers gathering
which is held each year in Baldwin on the second Tuesday of October which falls on October 9 this
year. The reunion, an annual affair, is a big drawing card for the Jayhawkers. Last year there were
nearlY a hundred present. This year if weather is nice, even a larger number is expected.
Not much of a program is planned except to have one of those present to give a few reminiscent
remarks. Rev. C. W. Bailey has been given this assignment this year and he promises no longwinded oration. A short program of music and readings will also compose the program for the day.
All are asked to come with well-filled baskets. Have your wife load that basket down with oldfashioned food and meet your Kansas brother at the church about noon. J. C. Patterson, long time
president of the settlers association, says that he always has a better appetite on that day than on any
other so he believes everyone should prepare bountifully.
There'll be no flappers at the meeting and no fashion models but it is safe to say that those present
will have a far better time than would.be a gathering of society belles at the Priests of Pallas Show
at Kansas City.
"Times do change" but Kansans always. Peep in about noon next Tuesday and see if you wouldn't
enjoy listening to the tales of pioneers days of Kansas.
Residents of Kansas forty years - may the number increase!

REUNION OF SETTLERS BRINGS BACK MEMORIES
Hardships of Early Kansas Days Once More Reviewed Among Jovial Folk in Sixteenth Annual
Gathering.
The Baldwin Ledger, 12 Oct. 1923 [The transcriber has taken the liberty of rearranging the names
list into alphabetical order to enhance readers ability to find relatives.]
They were true Kansas sunflowers who bobbed up and down on the streets Tuesday. They were as
bright and sunny as a sunflower altho they had budded into bloom years ago - all more than forty
years ago and tho some were drooping under years oftoil, yet they were happy to again review with
their friends the hardships of Kansas which has made the lingering days such a happy memory.
From near noon until dusk they told of the early days and never a silent moment.
It is said that there were 13 5 seated for the noon-day feast - the largest gathering of its kind in the
history of the old settlers organization. Jollity reigned supreme amidst the tunnoil of chattering
voices aIld except for a short program prepared before hand the reunion was mostly a real oldfashioned informal affair.
Rev. C. W. Bailey, one ofthe jolly youngsters of Kansas, gave an enthusiastic reminiscent speech,
followed by an indeed inspiring talk from the much-loved person, former president of Baker, S. S.
Weatherby. Hon. E. Comielley, secretary of the Kansas Historical Society, read a very inter~sting
paper on old Kansas days and the memories that will ever remain. John Kramer, now a Texan, was
present. he was in these parts but could not resist the temptation to partake of a little chicken and
to enjoy the friendships of early days.

Dodge City, goes back to 1847, when Fort Mann was established at the Cimarron Crossing on
.
.
the Santa Fe trail a few miles west of the present Fort Dodge.
Col. Gilpin's volunteers were garrisoned at Fon Mann to protect the Santa Fe Trail
traffic from Indian attacks. His recommendation for several adobe posts along the course of the
Trail were well received by the War Department which led to the establishment of Fort Dodge
at the close of the Civil War, according to David K. Strate, whose "Sentinel to the Cimarron"
defines the "frontier experience of Fort Dodge, Kansas."
The importance of posts such as Fort Dodge in ensuring peaceful passage along the trail
and eventual settling of the area and establishment of cities, such as Dodge City, has never been
adequately recognized. Intensity of Indian assaults along th.e routes had resulted in suspension
of mail service and lost travel by 1864.
.
Major General Grenville Dodge was placed in command of the 11th and 16 th Kansas
Cavalry Regiments and began work duringthe harsh winter of 1865, to repair telegraph lines
and reopen travel routes. The Indians usually refrained from combat in winter months.
The new post was ordered built on March 17, 1865, between two fordable crossings,
the mulberry 17 miles to the east, and the Cimarron 22 l11jles to the west. The post rested in a
narrow pasture off the river bank, overlooked by a limestone bluff to the north. TIlls bluff
extended into open plain where ravines proved handy to Indians approaching the Fort, usually
to steal horses and livestock.
lnitial fortifications were crude earth dugouts excavated along the north bank of the
Arkansas. Many men first stationed there were Confederates who preferred a fight with the,
Indians to languishing - perhaps dying - in northern prisons.
The soldiers had no lumber or hardware, so they had to use the available materials, .
grass and earth, to create the 70 sod dugouts. These were lOx 12 feet in circumference and'
seven feet deep. A doorta the south fuced the river and a hole in the roof admitted air and light.
Banks of earth were bunks for the soddies that slept from two to four men. Sanitation was poor
and spring rains flooded the dugouts.
Pneumonia, dysentery, diarrhea, and malaria were common that first year in the isolated
fort. The General decided the soldiers named the dismal fort "Dodge" in its unpromising start
to get even with him for bringing them there. The War Department made it official.
First shipments oflumber arrived in the summer of 1866 and the officer's quarters and
a temporary hospital were erected, still sod with wooden bunks. Supply houses and a horse
corral were the first pennanent buildings of lumber. A field oven was the first piece of army·
equipment that improved the soldiers' lot at the post. A Sutler's Store was built and
immediately the Sutler took advantage of the soldiers' pay in their pockets. When they began
quarrying stone dive to twelve to the North, desertion became an acute problem. It was a
choice between hard work with the stone or facing the Indians.
A 43,000 acre military reservation was established. A cemetery and guardhouse were'
built, along with a supply store for destitute civilians off the barren plains, and sometimes
'
victims of Indian raids. During the next two years, permanent fucilities built of limestone were
erected, including two barracks, a hospital, quartermaster buildings, and a headquarters building
and commanding officer's quarters. Several of these buildings still stand and are in use today,

/07

�including the coIllIIlimding officer's quarters, now the residence of the Superintendent of the
Soldiers' Home.
Both civilians and soldiers quarried the stone, utilizing 60 teamsters and 200 mules to
,
U. George A. liesselberger directed the construction. He demonStrated a taste for
durability andsubtIe beanty th~ is still ~~P2!eu!. in those bnilnings th~ lLre' still in use at the '
Fort.
Stones uSed were of varying length, but wereClit to'18 inChes in height and two foot
thicimess. Each barracks held 50 men and was equipped with a kt"LChc:;u, mess rooIIl, and a 2 nd
dormitory. Latrines were erected behind the bairaoo. The hoSpital had a ward room, adequate
, for the sick of four companies, as well as an admin.ist:ration section and kitchen.
,The Commanding Officer's quarters was the only two story structure on the post. The
bottom floor had admin.ist:rative rooms where the Commanding Officer could host fellow
officers or hold court martials. The second floor, P!Ovided with rifle ports, was for family ,use.
There were blacksmith shops to keep horses shod and sixty wagons in repair:, 'Two 'large corrals,
,of sod for the quart..erma..c:ter an cavalry with four feet thick walls kept the Indians from raiding
the supply of mounts and also protected horses arid herds from the severe winters of those first
Negro troops that made up a large part of the population of the post after the Civil War '
were segregated and were housed in a 20 x 40 foot structure; part of which served as storage.
They were also segregated at the hospital in a small separate frame structure. All buildings
were placed in a circle facing inward to form parade grounds.
Skilled craftsmen made from $85 to $199 a month, and unskilled laboreers made $35,
however, there was always a shortage of men and materials. Lumber and hardware were
delivered from ea$m Kansas or Santa Fe,-NM., where a thousand feet of board could be
delivered for only $30.
Many problems encountered during the construction vvere localin origin, including
frequent Indian attacks on the Fort, and shortages of supply wagons, and work details. Few
workers could be enticed to work at hard, dirty labor for $35 a month, with the possibility of a
scalping thrown in.
The men at the Fort received criticism from headquarters for their seeming lack of
control of the Indians. General Marcy came out to investigate and his wagon train was attacked
enroute. Once there, he sent back a critiCal report of the newly erected buildings, saying,
"quarters are so magnificent and smoothly dressed that they appeared to be designed for the
National CapitaL" The director of the building, Lt. Hesselberger, was singled out for criticism.,
His feat was rewarded with a court martial and his name on the dedication stone was covered
over with a buffillo robe during subsequent ceremonies.
A barracks used once for cholera victims was converted toa recreation room. The
chaplain, Major White, complained that the spiritual and cu1turallife of the men was neglected,
while their less noble interests were catered to. As a result, chUrch services were held in the
building on Sunday, although the chaplain complained frequently of having to conduct his
worship rites from a pool table.
,
Life was hard on the plains, and desertions were frequent. Dr. Tremaine, the post
SurgeOn, was an advocate of better treatment and reduction ofuimecessaryhardships for the ,.
troopers.
In addition to providing protection for commercial trade routes, Fort Dodge also
provided safeguards for frontier communities, including Dodge City. This included protection
from thieves, cattle rustlers, and bank robbers, as well as the Indians.

to?

�i

The Fort distributed food and water to civilians during the severe winter of 1874, just
two years after the establishment of Dodge City. It also contributed a colwnn to the Dodge City
newspaper on military and social activities at the post.
The Sutler's store was a very popular spot on the reservation. Whiskey could be served
from 6:30 to 9:00 p.m. each evening, with three drinks allowed per man. However, it appeared
the count was not aiways accurate , since drunkenness was a COlWHon
offense. The g-ua:rd house,
.
an 18 x 28 foot structure, was always full, eVen though reserved for the worst offenders.
Fort Dodge's cemeterv held the bodies of many of Dodge City~s early day residents, as
well as L~ose 0 th~ post inhabitants: One of these is Edward M;sterson, broL~er of Bat~ who
was buried after being shot by a drunken gunfighter. The saying then was "The rich are buried
at the Fort and the cowhands. and poor ~e buried on Boot Hill and gone to hell."
k; civilizat1c)ll advanced, the Indians found no sanctuary from the white man's army.
General William T. Sherman, a typical ~xample oft.~e military mind set then, \~laS sur~ that all
attempts at civilization of the Indian was ridicul~us~ Ext~rmiri.ation or reduction of their sta"tUs
to that of paupers with complete dependence on the govemlUent was his idea for their fate.
Many Easterners were shocked at the treatment ofthe·lndian. The men on the frontier had
reason to complain of the Easterners lack of comprehension of the savagery of the Indian. .
with the coming of the railroad to Dodge City in 1872, and the threat of extinction of
the buffalo, the Indian s conducted a final outburst of violence in an attempt to preserve their
livelihood. At that time, buffalo hides were selling for $3.50 each and plenty of hunters were
on the scene to benefit from that price. By 11:03, most of the buffalo had been annihilated; even
to the south of the Arkansas River where the Medicine' Lodge supposedly protected the buffalo
and lndian" rights In 1874, the Anny renewed engagements against the Indians; for asserting
. their rights by forays to the north of the Arkansas River. General Nelson Miles kept up these
attacks until the spirit of the Plains lndians was broken, and their wild and independent culture
had virtually disappeared.
Between 1870 and 1875, more new buildings went up at Fort Dodge. Teo sets of
officer and family quarters were erected, as well as buildings for civilian employees. A new'
guardhouse replaced the old, overcrowded original structure. A grainery for storing one million
pounds of grain was also erected. Between 1874 and 1882, military life on the post was fuirly
stable. Most excitement came out of Dodge City where. trail herds waited to be sold. .
Longhorns strayed onto the reservation, sometimes tearing down laundry and threatening
soldiers and their families.
In 1878, there were 100,000 cattle driven to dodge City. Poor relations ex.isted between
the cowboys and the soldiers. A uniformed man could not enter town without being harassed
by a cowman, often aided by a local lawman. The drinking establishments often took
advantage of the soldiers.
At one time in 1877 Col. William Lewis took a detachment and marched on the city
The town judge hoisted a white flag and arbitration ensued. Dodge City's famed "Peace
Commission" was formed soon after this incident with the help of Col. Richard Dodge, who
was furious when his personal servant, a young black, was shot and left to die in the street. The
Commission had on its roster such famed names as Wyatt Earp, Luke Short, Charlie Barrett:,
and Bat Masterson.
The last of the Indian scares was an attempted migration by the Cheyennes under Dull Knife,
from EI Reno, Oklahoma to their former home in South Dakota. During the Indian's march
through Kansas, several dozen settler's were killed. Although several lndians were brought
back to Topeka for trial, with Ford County Attorney Michael Sutton as prosecuting attorney,

/01

�the natives were acquitted for lack of evidence..
In December 1880, some of Fort Dodge's reserved lands were opened to homesteaders.
The first 75 homesteads were claimed by Dodge City residents that included gamblers, saloon
keepers, prostitutes, and a few actual homesteaders. In 1889, the rest of the area was opened,
creating a real land rush.
On AprilS, 1882, the Fort was abandoned by the U.S. Army. The last of the troops
marched southward to Camp Supply when the flag was lowered on October 2, 1882. Fort
Dodge, guardian of the cOlmTIercia.l frVUt,;t;l, the cattleman and .hom~l.6ader, had fulfilled i+...s
pwpose.
For the next eight years the land and Fort were managed by a Department of Interior
custodian. One of these Dodge city entrepreneur Robert Wright, managed to exploit the
fucilities by housing drovers who awaited the sale of their cattle, and bypurcl1asing land
surrounding the Fort with money he earned selling ~skey and buffalo hides. In January 1890,
fort DOdge was deeded to the State of Dansas for' use as a Soldiers Home.
Old troopers began arriving. Most of them were Civil War veterans, Others were
veterans of the Mexican and Indian Wars, many of whom had served With great honor in the
Army. Records show these early residents did not always retire peacefully. Many were
dismissed from the Soldiers' Home for quarrelsomeness drunkenness, and the like. Even
croquet had to be abandoned as a form of recreation when the mallets prved to be too handy a
weapon to settle quarrels among the oldsters.
Eventually, dependents and relatives of Kansas veterans were admitted along with
Confederate and Negro veterans.
The Kansas Soldiers Home now includes a library, an modem intensive nursing home,
a recreation center, five residence halls, and60rottages. Names of the streetS and buildings .
honor great American Presidents and military heroes~ including Eisenhower, Nimitz, Sheridari,
Garfield, Custer, Lincoln, Dewey, and Wait. Veterans of the Mexican, Civil, Indian, SpanishAmencan, Philippines, Boxer rebellion, World War I and n, Korean, and Vietnam Wars have
all been· occupants.
The peaceful park, quiet, shaded tree-lined walks, and dignified buildings, both old and
new seem a fur cry from the dugouts and forsaken soldiers barely existing on the Arkansas
River bank in 1865.

Commanding at the time of completion of the "Custer House" was Maj. Hemy Douglas, who
nd
commanded from December 1866 until November 1867. He commanded a 2 time from
February to November 1868. It has been reported that he did not occupy the Custer House during
his first co nun and. If so, then the first commander to occupy the quarters would have been Capt.
Williarri Thompson, 7 th Cavalry Regiment, part of Custer's conunand. Capt. Thompson, was
sometimes referred to as ~'OldCaptain Thompson" as hewas 54 years old in 1867, and a former
Iowa Congressman.
Satanta, War Chief of the Kiowa, at one time entered the Custer House, went up the stairs to the
Commander's Quarters when no one was at home, and drank a bottle of port he found. He later
went next doors to another set of Officer's Quarters and was found there after consuming a bot1le
of whiskey. He was taken to the stables to sober him up. There he found.a whiskey bottle which
contained horse medicine, drank it, got v·iolently ill, and rode out furious because he thought the
white soldiers were trying to poison him. His group killed several woodcutters and settlers during
their trip away from the Fort.
Most of the antique furniture in the Custer House belongs to the house. It is not the original
furniture, but furniture that was brought in after Fort Dodge became the Kansas Soldiers Home.
Some of it dates back to the Fort Dodge period however.
.
Guests at the house during the days of Fort Dodge include Brevet Major General George
Annstrqng Custer, General Tecumseh Sherman, General Phillip Sheridan: and Brevet Brigidier
General Alfred Sully.

�REMINISCENCES OF OLD UNION SCHOOL
DISTRICT 34, DOUGLAS COUNTY KANSAS
by Frank Horrell
(copied 2007 by Richard Wellman)
as printed in the Baldwin Ledger, 26 Nov. 1964

•

The following article was sent to the Ledger
office by Frank Hurrell. In the write-up he
recalls early schools days at the Union School
which was located west of Baldwin jet. Mr.
Horrell started to the school in 1883.
When Douglas County was divided into
districts it was done largely according to
population and future expectations. Old Union
was largely an open prairie with few creeks and
timber. The first school house was built of logs
and operated till about 1880, when the present
building was put up, and the old one used for a
shelter for coal and kindling to start fires.
Seats were made of logs, split and smoothed
off, set up on short sticks for legs. Black boards
were simply walls painted black. White chalk
was used to write questions, problems, programs
and songs.
Coal was hauled from north of Ottawa a few
miles where a few coal mines were located.
With the chimney at the west end of the house
and the stove near the east end it took a long line
of stove pipe to get the smoke out and when the
pipe fell down it was a mess - with small
children mixed with soot.
No schools were graded then and five years
was the starting age and children quit when they
had to go to work. Big boys started after the
com was shucked and quit when spring work
began.
At first there was no well, so the teacher sent
two small boys to a ravine where a well was
always full of water. One winter day when they
got to the well, one boy threw the bucket onto
the ice and when it bounced off he said, "I'm
going skating". The ice broke and he went down
till his arms stuck the wall.
My first teacher was Laura Geiger, who lived
east of Willow Springs and drove a horse and

cart to school. The boys always took care ofthe

horse. Other teachers were Lutitia

BO\Vlllan,

Laura Anderson, Jim Baldwin, Gina Pleasant,
Addie Haas, Gertrude Bell, Helen Ingle,
William Horrell and Frank Horrell.
The school house was a place for all kinds of
meetings - preachings, literaries, spelling
contests, political meetings. One night a man
was lighting a lamp at the edge of a window
. when it spilled and caught fire. He thre.w it out
through the glass.
At recess and noon the pupils had all kinds of
games - baseball, town ball, black man, racing,
jumping, wrestling, boxing-hats. School closed
at 4 0' clock and the students walked home,
some as far as two miles. For punishment a
child had to stay seated at recess or noon or
sometimes a switch was the means of
punishment. Once the teacher used a switch to
punish a big boy, she got in one stoke, he
grabbed the stick and broke it up. She said, "go
Home". He went up the hill south a few rods,
then spent the rest of the time yelling, jumping
and doing hand springs till school was qut.
The school board for many years were John
Horrell,Doc Sutton and Isaac Flory.
Families to attend Union and their children are
listed by Mr. Horrell as follows:

Haas - August, Dan, Sophia, Bertha,
Ingle - Rose, Ed, Grant, Helen

Mo!ding of Kansas civilization MS nQ superior thinks Judge C. A. Smart of .
lawrence who spoke at the annual meeting of the old settlers of Palmyra
township Tuesday. Makers of history, believers in a nation, determined men
and women they were who made progress in the face of grave dangers.
Continuing Mr. Smart said: "After the war what was In that Kansas needed?
First, Kansas needed men. And they came from among those who knew the
hardships of battle and who had slept under the stars for four y~rs.
Kansas needed men who understood self-restraint. The Need was amply
fulfilled. Then she needed courageous and intelligent men. And what did
they do? Kansas hiStory speaks for itself."
"And that same determination is still with us for there are many moral
issues at stake. But the world is getting better not worse."
Mr. Smart dosed his remarks with a fitting tribute to the pioneer mother
who endured the utmost. he made reference to the markers in the several
states which had recently erected the monuments to their memory.
Named for His Beloved State.
. .
J. Kansas Morgan of Vinland, born in Kansas in 1858, Kansas bred, whose
given name is Kansas, prefaced his remarks by saying that he was determined
to die in Kansas.
Then he spoke of the significance of the state in national history.
"Kansas was born in a time of history" Mr. Morgan said, "The people saw the
possibilities of a state that were to challenge the country to high
achievement. The pioneers came and explored. The first settlers followed
with one purpose, to make a homestead of the free."
The program was in charge of J. C. Patterson, jovial toasbnaster. Mrs.
H. K. Ebright first read a serious poem dedicated to Kansas. Then she gave
two humorous readings.
Dr.C. E. Holman favored the gathering with two solos which were well
received.
Roll called for Absent oneS.
Mrs. Patterson as historian read an aa:ount of the death of members during
the last year. They were: J. H. Gander, sara Cutter, Mrs. J. B. Todd, Rovla
M. Oark, Mrs. jennie Wiley, William Walton, Isabelle Mitchell, Olas. Bailey

and Ed. Beeks.
She said that records showed the association has held regular meetings for
27 years.
A set of resolutions adopted contained a vote of thanks to the women who
assisted in serving the noon luncheon and to the church for the use of the
basement rooms, to the orchestra for the music, directed by Dr. H. Z. Moore.
W. J. Russell was extended thanks for his untiring efforts to complete the
marking of old soldiers graves, many of whom had been members of the
association.
It was voted to investigate and see what could be done to improve records
of graves at the old cemetery, east of Baldwin and restore the lots. C. E.
Beeks, AI Andrews and S. Haigh were named to look into the matter.
Mrs. Martha Price, who lies ill in bed sent greetings and the membership
sent her a surprise basket of goodies. Others who could not come also were
not forgotten.
J. C. Patterson, C. E. Beeks and Mrs. J. C. Patterson were reelected
officers of the association.

Many have read stories about cleaning old.cemeteries and the discovery of
grave markers buried under years of grass and weeds. Even today, with
years of experience, thin, vertical grave markers are set in small
strips of wet
concrete, in the hope that the marker will stay upright until the check
clears,
and they soon fall. .
In many of the more 'modern' cemeteries, plot owners are only allowed to
install ground-level markers, so that the mowing equipment can pass over
them.
The soil/sod soon covers them.
As Memorial Day nears, may I again remind you of a tip I shared at previous
Memorial Days - leave a note at family burial plots, so that unknown
cousins
might learn of your interest in the family line - and perhaps contact you.
And I would again remind you when visiting cemeteries, to take a small metal
probe, perhaps a 12 inch screw driver, to probe for markers that have been
buried by years of neglect and weeds. Just as the brick walkway, at older
homes disappear under the sod if not kept clean, low or fallen markers will
disappear under the sod if not kept cleared. Probe CAREFULLY, we don't
want to deface the marker. This weeks RootsWeb Review had a story of
a lady in England who couldn't find her grandmothers marker, even though she
'knew' where it was, found it as she dug a few inches Into the earth to
plant
some flowers. I am convinced that with a little probing, many 'lost'
markers
would be found .

�"How Do I Keep All This Stuff Straight?"

by
Billie Stone Fogarty
Sooner or later every genealogist reaches the point when the stuff of genealogy - papers,
books, heirlooms, letters, photocopies - becomes overwhelming. How do you find anything in
that mountain of material and where do you store it? Many books and articles have been written·
on the subject of organizing your genealogical records and any will give good guidance to taming
your paper mess. No filing system is without flaws, but your motto should be "files not piles" if you
expect to be successful. in your genealogy research. Organized research can save you time and
money and can help guide you to the next step in your quest for family information.

Whether you work on your genealogy at the
dining room table, in a spare bedroom, or in your office you will need to have a place to spread out
and compare your findings. A place where your current project can be left unbothered is
especially helpful as you sometimes need to walk away for a while and return with a fresh way to
look at your findings. Find a location and take it over - you will eventually need the room for your
stuff!
If your genealogy now fits in a file folder or briefcase - GREAT! It is not too late to get
organized. Anything more and you may already be doomed! Seriously, take the time to select a
filing system and use it faithfully, even if it is not the perfect system. Several researchers have
found the color-coded system called FamilyRoots Organizer to be useful. It can be found online
at www.123genealogy.comIorganizer. One of the best books on organizing your research is
Sharon DeBartolo Carmack's Organizing Your Family History Search (Cincinnati: Betterway
Books, 1999). ·It includes many forms that are designed to help organize your research. The
following is a plan for organizing your research that is simple and straight forward. Adapt the plan
to your own personality and needs.

A Simple Plan to Organize Genealogical Records
First decide your purpose, whether you will use a computer, where you will work, where

I~O

•

•

�you will store the items you collect, whether you will use files or binders or a combination of the
two, and whether to use color or not. This organization plan assumes that your genealogy forms
are generated by a computer based genealogy program because it is faster, neater and easier to
make updates and changes. It also assumes that you will use both loose files for your working
projects and binders for longer term storage and to prevent shuffling or loss of loose papers both
at home and away.

•

it does not matter whether you use COiOf Of fiOt.· Some like to USe coior to help them
differentiate the family lines (four different colors for each of the 4 grandparents' lines) or side·of
the family (one color for father or husband and another color for mother or wife). Some prefer to
identify each surname with a particular color or select a different color for each type of file (one
color for the family files, another for county or state files and another for correspondence files,
etc). Some just like to use color because it is pretty - the choice is yours. If using color helps you
organize then use it.

Second gather your equipment, forms and supplies. Equipment will include: a .
computer and genealogy software program, a file cabinet or portable file boxes, file folders, .
hanging file folders, 3-ring binders, a travel.binder for research trips; Fonns that are useful are:
Pedigree charts, Family Group Records, Research Log, Correspondence Log, Census Abstra¢
Forms, Compiled Census History Form, Individual Timeline, and other forms that you find helpful.
Supplies to assemble include: Pencils and pens, 8 %" x 11" spiral note paper With perforated'
edge or loose leaf notepaper or Note Forms, Sheet Protectors (Archival safe, acid free, won't lift
print), Index dividers, Travel pack (with pencils, hand pencil sharpener or ever sharp penCils,
paper clips, coin holder, red or blue pencil, straight edge, magnifying glass).
Third set up your filing (organizing) system. This one is baSed on your pedigree chart,
and begins by entering all known information into your computer genealogy database (or enter the
information onto Pedigree Charts and Family Group Records if not using a computer). Be sure to
enter the sources for each and every statement of fact that you enter. (Consult Evidence! by
Elizabeth Shown Mills for the proper citation format for each type of source.)
Print out all of the Pedigree Charts. Use the pedigree chart to set up your files and your
numbering system, if you choose to use one. Label file folders (or index divider tabs in your
binders) with each Surname from your pedigree charts in the order they appear on the pedigree
charts. Your Ancestry or Pedigree Chart has numbers (actually called Ahnentafel numbers - see
the next page for more about these numbers). Each surname file (or binder) will contain all
couples with that surname starting from the most recent, followed by that husband's parents and
so forth back in time. Sheet protectors are useful, especially if using binders because you do not
have to punch holes.'

..
•

Each surname file or binder should contain: 1) a Pedigree chart with that ancestral line .
underlined (or highlighted), 2) a Family Group Record for each family unit with that surname
arranged from most recent to most distant, 3) an individual timeline for each husband and wife, 4)
an individual Research Checklist for husband and wife, and 5) documents that support the link '
from one gene.rati~n to th~ next. Include all items that pertain to that family unit from the time they
became a family, I.e. mamage record forward. Some find it convenient to include within a family
unit file all items from the husband's and wife's birth on, although most experts recommend
placing birth and pre-marriage information with the parents' family unit file. Arrange supporting
documents chronologically and be sure to place those documents in sheet protectors.
Some choose to keep supporting source documents together in a file separate from the
Surname file, such as all census records together in a Census file. That is a matter of individual '
preferen~, depending on how many different locations you want to search for one person's
Information. Regardless, be sure that you keep original, one-of-a-kind documents in a place that
is archival, fire, flood, moisture and heat safe.
At the end of the Sumame file or binder should be a section for miscellaneous items that'
do not .go ex?lusively with a particular family unit. Non-lineal members of the family unit may be
kept With their parents, but should have their own folder when they form their own family unit

I J..I

�You will also need non-surname files for: 1) locality, 2) correspondence, 3) research
logs, 4) general, and others that you may identify as useful, such as genealogy techniques.
Locality files can be for a specific state sutHjivided by county. Be sure to include maps, a county
timeline, and the history and general infonnation about a locale. You can also include infonnation
about research facilities in a particular state and county. Correspondence files can be arranged
alphabetically by surname and should include your letter and the response clipped together.
Fourth, it is useful to schedule your genealogy time includi.ngwhen to organize and file,
when to research, when to process the data collected on the research day. Discipline yourself to
always review the data collected and enter the infonnation onto family group sheets and pedigree
charts as soon after the research as possible;
Fifth, always carefully plan your research outings. Decide what family line you want to
find and what infonnation you need. Write out your plan - it helps you think organizationally!
Pack what you need - your travel pack and binder, a copy of your pedigree charts and family .
group records for the family line you will research, lots of Sheet protectors for the good stuff you
are going to find, coins for the copy machines (or money for the copy cards). While researching,
use the Research Log to write down everything you search including those yielding nothing. Be
sure to immediately write a full source citation on the photocopy while you are there~lnclude the
facility, city, today's date and call number used by that facility as well as the Surname covered by
. the article. Many find it useful to copy the title page of the book or periodical and place most of .
this infonnation on that page. Place the photocopy in a sheet protector and place. it in your binder.
.
Sixth, process what you have gathered as soon as possible. Re-read the infonnation to
glean all the details and enter each item of infonnation into the computer genealogy database.
Remember that each document may have material pertaining to several different individuals. File
each document in the appropriate surname file. When several surnames are involved, you may
either make a copy of the document for each file or place a memo to the file (on 8 Yz x 11 paper)
adviSing where the document is filed. Print out revised Family Group Sheets and Pedigree Charts
and reevaluate what you know and what you suspect about the family and make plans for the next
outing.
Seventh, protect the time, effort and expense that you have expended. Regularly
backup your computer infonnation. Store a second or third copy at another location. Give a copy
to a relative or friend. (Make a genealogy buddy to exchange disks for storage, preferably one·
who will remind you to backup your records.) Also, make paper copies of your infonnation and
store a copy offsite to ensure against calamity. Share your research with others. Donate a copy
to some library or repository. Store your own materials in a place that is as safe as possible.
DeSignate a torch carrier to preserve your work and continue the search. Share with them now.

Numbering Systems for
Organizing Genealogy Records
By ancestry
Sosa-Stradonitz or Ahnentafel System (Named for the 17th century Spanish genealogist Jerome
de Sosa who first used it and for Stephen Kekule von Stradonitz who popularized it in his 1896
Ahnentafel Atlas. Ahnentafel is the Gennan word meaning ancestor table, interchangeable with
pedigree, a French word meaning, literally, "the foot of the gooseD which resembles the branches
of a family tree)
.
1 .Each individual in a lineage has a unique number.
2 The individual's father has a number that is doubled and the mother's number is double
plus 1.
.
3 All males (except the one in position #1) have even numbers and all females have odd
numbers.
4 It is easy to tell the closeness to the starting person by the size of the number.

5 Further research may lead to new knowledge' about descendants. The entire list would

Modified Register or Record System (First adapted by the New York Biographical and
Genealogical Record, this is the system adopted by the National Genealogical Society Quarterly.)
1 Each person is given a number (an Arabic numeral) and a lower case Roman numeral to
indicate birth order within a family.
2 If the child is to be repeated as an adult, there is a + sign beside their name.
3 Only the bloodline descendants receive a number.

Documenting Your Sources
Just because you have written the name and birth date of your ancestor on a piece of
paper does not make it true. Every single item of information you gather must have a source.
Names, dates and places are good, but without the evidence to support what you have written
your carefully prepared Family Group Records and Family Histories are just words. Likewise, the
appearance of a name or other item of information appearing in a book or database. does not
mean it is true. Every item of information or statement of relationship must be documented.
Elizabeth Shown Mills, in her book Evidence! Citation &amp; Analysis for the Family Historian
(Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Company, 1997), page 18, lists these:

Any statement of fact that is not common knowledge must carry its own individual
statement of source.
Source notes have two purposes: to record the specific location of each piece of date and
to record details that affect the use or evaluation of that data.
Sources are tracked in two basic ways: by generic lists (bibliographies) and by source
notes keyed to specific facts .
.Source notes have two basic formats: full citations and short citations.
Source notes for narrative accounts can be presented in four ways: footnotes, endnotes,
.
parenthetical Citations, and hypertext.
Source notes keyed to narrative text should be numbered consecutively; the
corresponding numbers should appear in correct sequence within the text.
Explicit source notes should also appear on ancestor charts and family group sheets.
Full citations should be affixed to the front side of every photocopied document and
should appear on every page of a research report.
We should not cite sourceswe have not used; it is both risky and unethical to "borrow
notes· from other writers.
Even a full citation of source may not be SUffiCient, legally or ethically, when copying from
another work.
.
Microforms and electronic materials need extra treatment.
.
Clear citations require attention to many details.

Enclose in quotation marks any extracted material.
Include your name, the date and place you obtained the material, and a complete
identification of the source of the material on every item that is copied, transcribed,
extracted and abstracted.
Identify fully the source of materials obtained from family memorabilia, personal
interviews, family tradition or personal knowledge.
Record your research notes on full sheets of 8 W by 11" paper and place them in
your binders or file folders. Do not record important genealogical information on bits
and scraps of paper.
Copy all facts, including names of different spelling, exactly as they appear in the
record.
Copy too much material rather than too little.
When quoting portions of material, use 3 dots (ellipses) to indicate omitted
information within a quoted sentence and 4 dots to indicate omission of the last part
of a sentence.
When transcribing material that is partially unreadable, use blanks for the illegible
words or letters.

Citation Fonnats
References to sources (citations) take two forms - footnote (or endnotes) and
bibliography. A bibliography is an alphabetical listing of all the sources consulted for the research
project usually at the end of the work. Footnotes give complete citation for a particular statement,
including page number or other specific citation, and are placed at the bottom of the page where
the statement is given. Endnotes are in the same format as footnotes, but are placed aU together
at the end of the report in the order they appeared in the text. The footnote format is preferred in
genealogical reports because it is more specifiC. A bibliography is sometimes used in addition to
the footnotes to list sources that are not quoted or cited specifically.
Citations should include these elements, where applicable: author, compiler, editor,
owner, supplier, title, name of periodical, issue, edition, volume number, publisher, place of
publication, date of publication, page, column, deSCriptive title. Titles of books, periodicals a~d
newspapers are italicized or underlined; articles in periodicals and newspapers are enclosed In
quotation marks.

Dear Shelley;

In January of this year, we received a packet containing five old-time photographs with
Kansas connections from you. I don't think we ever acknowledged receipt of this
thoughtful gift and I want to apologize before I begin to thank you. I am so sorry to have
taken so long.
Kansas Council of Genealogical Societies is an umbrella organization of genealogical
and historical societies in Kansas. We do not maintain a library or museum and therefore
cannot care for these wonderful photos.
