Many of the''how-to" books are out-of-date, while other resource books were donated by persons with specific interests in other areas of the country.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.

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 & 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." Wichita State University Digitized Maps These digitized Kansas maps come from the Wichita State University Libraries, Department of Special Collections. They are of identical period maps found in the LHS Raymond Gieseman Collection at the Territorial Capital Museum at Lane University.

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.

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 & 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 & 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 & 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 & 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 & 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 & Co., the company being Miss Mary Scott. W. H. Finch next secured the paper and in tum sold it to Moorhead & 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. lOS- �Officers, 1. C.

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. //t) �HISTORICAL SITES OF FORT DODGE 1. 2. 3.

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. .

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 Flory - Cassius, Virgil, Harvey, Ed, James Gilges - Dudley, Fremont, Florence, Daisy, Lenora Sutton - Oliver, Frank, John, Jim, Lenna, Kate Horrell - William, Frank, Isaac, Fred, John, Maude, Clara Hyland - Edward, Anna, Nellie Schwartz - Henry, Charley, Rose, Carrie lIS- �Genealogical Codicil to My Last Will and Testament To my spouse, children, guardian, administrator and/or executor: Upon my demise it is requested that you DO NOT dispose of any or aU of my geneaiogical records, both those prepared personally by ineand those records prepared by others which may be in my possession, including but not limited to books, files, notebooks or computer programs for a period of two. years.

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.

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 . • Are you aware that a PDF version of the Herald of Freedom microfilm is available on-line at: bttQ~lJ'!fw'!:L,!s<:;J<cc,eQYLt~rritQrJQLD~w~b~[C!!d oLfr~eQQml The index to PDF versions of other Kansas newspaper microfilms is at: htt;R;LLwww.!S(:l<J;;!=~gq/Jer[l1Qrl~Lr:I~w.?/~rri.!:QrlQLf.!~wJ?l II~ �"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 6 Simple, efficient, logical, widely used and accepted. Computers like this system. By descendancy • '" • Register System (First used by the New England Historic Genealogical Society in their quarterly, The New England Historical and Genealogical Register - the 'Register) .. 1 Starts (he numbers with bie ear1iast ances,tor and WO~~5 through each chdd ;;1 order of birth .. 2 If a person's descendants are not known or not given, that person is not aSSigned a number. . 3 The system is widely used and accepted. 4 Spouses receive no numbers, only bloodline: 5 Further research may lead to new knowledge' about descendants. The entire list would have to be renumbered to accommodate this event. 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 & Analysis for the Family Historian (Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Company, 1997), page 18, lists these: 13 Guidelines for Documentation ., 1 " 2 '., 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 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. Cititin g a source is not an end to itself; our real goal is the have the best possible source to c e. _--_ .._-----.-._ . .... I JJ. 3 �This book is a must for every genealogist's library, updating andexpanding~~n Richard S. lackey's t;>ook, Gite Your Sources (New Orleans: Polyanthos, Inc, 1980). It gives the format for genealogical references not commonly found in other citation style books. If without this book, the preferred format is The Chicago Manual of Styfe (Chicago: University of Chicago 1993). . '. When you have searched a source and found genealogical evidence pertinent to your research, you must preserve the evidence for your files in one offour formats: 1 2 3 4 Photocopy the material. -occasionally a repository will not allow photocopying but will allow photographing without a flashbulb. Transcribe the material- a word for word copy of an entire document or record. Extract the material - a word for word copy of a pertinent portion or portions of a document or record. Abstract the material - a summary of the pertinent information contained in a document. You should document that evidence by these actions: . 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3· 4 Make clear on your research notes whether material has been photocopied, transcribed, eXtraCted or abstraaed~ 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. • �Examples (in footnote format): 1 2 3 Books: 1.

This article is from The Daily Journal dated Saturday, April 5, 1879. THE HILLMAN MYSTERY A Coroner's inquest on the body purporting to be that of Hillman was held at the court house, yesterday. A jury consisting ofW.G~ Hubbell, G.W. Morris, S.W. Adams, E.B. Good, A Tosh and O.D Pickens was impanneled. Mr. J.H. Brown, who claims to have accidentally shot Hillman, was placed on the witness stand. He questioned in regard to every minute particular by Mr. Geo. Barker. The testimony is too long and mixed up to be given in full, but principal facts are about as follows: He has been acquainted with Hillman for some time, and has been with him in Colorado, Texas and other parts of the country. He went with Hillman on his last trip, having no particular contract with him, but an understanding that he was to go to work and receive pay as soon as he got a cattle ranch. After leaving Wichita they met a stranger, who disappeared again near Cow Creek. Another stranger came into camp, whom he described.as small with sandy complexion. He did not learn the stranger's name. He had never seen he man since the day after his coming to camp, and would not be able to recognize him. On the 17th of March they did no traveling, but remained at the place of their last camp. The wagon was facing to the southwest. A fire was built about ten feet from the wagon. They had supper about four o'clock in the afternoon, and about sundown or a little later the tragedy occurred in the manner already given to our readers. On hearing the report of the rifle, witness turned around and saw Hillman stagger, and fearing he would fall in the fire caught him and whirled him around and dropped him down on the ground. Hillman made no outcry. Witness left the body in position it fell until he returned with a Mr. Graves. The clothing, papers, etc. belonging to Hillman were given to the Coroner and afterward back to Brown. The articles were produced in court. The shoes which Hillman had on were not to be found with the other articles, yesterday. Witness said he did not that had become of them.. On being closely questioned about the provisions which they had with them as the time ofthe accident, Brown said that they had about forty pounds of flour a small quntity of meat, and some coffee. During the trip Hillman complained of soreness in his arms, caused by vaccination; otherwise his health was tolerably good. At about six o'clock Coroner Morris adjourned the inquest to eight o'clock this moming. At that time the examination of Brown will be continued. The body purporting to be that of Hillman was buried yesterday afternoon. (Editor's note). You will recall that this summer the body in the grave was exhumed and tested to see if it was really Hillman. No conclusion was reached. I �From The Republican Journal Thursday, October 19, 1876. Died in this city on the 18th instant, Mrs. Almira Haskell, in the seventy third year of her age. The death of Mrs. Haskell was not unlooked for as her health had been feeble for several months and for some. time she had evidently been rapidly approaching her end. Mrs.Haskell was born in Weathersfield, Vermont. In March, 1855, accompanied b her son Hon.· Dudleye Haskell, then a boy of thirteen, she reached Lawrence and joined her husband who had preceded her a few months in coming to Kansas, and had taken a claim adjoining the town-the same upon which the Haskell brothers now reside-where he had erected a cabin. From that day to the present more than twenty-one years, Mrs Haskell has been a resident of Lawrence, leading during the most of the time and active, and all of the time a useful life. She has survived to see all of her children will settled in life, with growing families about them, and honored and useful members of society. Mrs. Haskell was a woman of great force of character, of rare judgment and good sence, a consistent member of the Congregational church, an affectionate wife, a good mother, a kind neighbor and in all respects a noble and excellent woman. When such a person passed away, in the fullness of years and with life's labor so well done, although we cannot but feel grave and serious in the presence of death, we yet recognize it as the appropriate earthly termination ,of a well accomplished career. . The pioneers of our State are rapidly thinning out. Those who were in middle age when Kansas was first settled are now old people. Among those who by their labors and trials did so much not only for the freedom of Kansas, but to lay her foundations broad and deep upon the enduring basis of public and private virtue, few will be longer remembered or more sincerely mourned than his daughter of New England, this "Mother in Israel", who has just passed away. From The Republican Journal Sunday, June 11, 1876 OUR CEMETERY A drive through Oak Hill and what we saw. The work of Prof. Wiltz-his admiration for the ground-what has been done, what will be done and what ought to be done. . In company with Ex-Mayor Grovenor, for six years superintendent of our city cemeteries, we drove through Oak Hill, last week and must here t the start express our surprise at what saw and were told. Ten years ago, or thereabouts, Oak Hill became the property of Lawrence. It was then a series of shapeless hills and gulches, densely overgrown with hazel brush, scrub oak and thick underwood, altogether uncaptivating to any but the eye of an artist, who could see its natural advantages and the thing of beauty which time and money could easily render it, and which it has even now �become. As we enter the Cemetery from the south side and upon turning slightly to the right we find ourselves between the wide-apart heads of two ravines leading towards the potter~s field in the north eastern corned of the grounds. For the present we are compelled to reach this field by following the extreme eastern fence, but according to Mr. Wiltz's design, and in about one month when certain bridges shall have been constructed, a beautiful roadway will lead down thr~)Ugh the rich luxurious shade, between the two ravines, to the point of their junction. Here are to be ' erected two rustic bridges, sixteen feet in width, the one leading to the right into the potter's field, the other to the left into a newly graded carriage-way which skirts the northern boundary of the grounds, and by a series of graceful curves brings the sight seer to the foot of the central eminence. The part now most familiar to our citizens. The point where the two bridges are to be built, is one of the great natural beauty, and when art shall have rendered it accessable and seeable we know of no place more generally attractive. The potter's field, Mr. Wiltz says, is about the best portion of the whole cemetery. It slopes from the easteni line toward the west, down to th edge of the ravine. The homely graves of the friendless or penniless dead are carefully located, marked and tended. Several groups of rees and shrubbery in this field are exquisitely beautiful. Leaving the two bridges.by the new roadway we fmd a gracefully constructed track bordered on either wide by natural and artificial eminences, sloped, ledges and grouping of shrubbery. Other roads and drives there are which we cannot mention in detail. The slopes either way from the Lane monument, are under the most careful cultivation, and present every attraction to the visitor. Which reminds us of what Mr. Wiltz says about the estimation in which cemeteries should be held. "They ought" says he, " to be considered almost as much a place for the living may repair with pleasure". Mr Wiltz, we may explain, is a perfect master of the situation. For two years he was head gardener for the Emperor of Germany, and perfect a beautiful park near' Moscow. Most of his work in America has been done near Cincinnati and it is all preminently fine. He considers our cemetery a place of great natural advantages, one of the best, in fact, which he has seen in t4e whole west. Could the city carry out even the plans which he perfected during his short stay here, very much would be accomplished. There are growing at present in the ground fourteen varieties of the oak whence the name "Oak Hill." These oaks were to a great extent grouped off by Mr. Wiltz so as to secure the very best sort of an effect. Mr Wiltz was especially delighted with one view which he secured by his management of trees. It takes i~ a most beautiful section of the cemetery, and a far off sight of the blue bluffs north of the Kansas ~~ , One good thing about all this excellence is the fact that what has been done and what wil be are amply provided for pecuniarily. Under Mr. Grovenor's careful management the cemetery fund ' now stands at about $6000.This amount is safely invested. The burials thus far number about 1500. The average price oflots is 12 ~ cents per square foot, 600 feet (usually) to the lot. The grounds are large enough to provide room for fifty or seventyfive years to come. Mr. Grovenor feels a great interest in the welfare of the cemetery, gives to it a great deal of his time, and has done a work there which our people should appreciate. We hope they will lend him �all possible assistance and encouragement in this rare good work. From The Daily Journal Wednesday, July 30, 1879. The funeral ofHon. Joel Grover took place from his late residence yesterday afternoon at four o'clock, Rev. Mr. Richardson officiating. Mr. Grover was born in the State of New York, In August, 1824, where his early youth was spent. He removed with his father's family to Michigan about 1838 or '40. Afterwards he went to California, where he remained about one ear. He came to Kansas with the second party of emigrants in 1854, arriving at Lawrence on September 15 of that year. Soon after he selected a claim of 160 acres of land on which he erected comfortable buildings for a home, and there he has lived, reared his family and died. " He was the first Colonel of the Free State forces, in our early troubles, and took a prominet part in the border ruffian war. He commanded a company at the taking of Fort Titus, in 1856. He was for six years on of the County Commissioners of Douglas county, and in 1860 served as a member of the Legislature. He was a man of decided opinions and had no patience with men who ere more easily swayed. His temperance principles carried him so far that he would use nither tea, coffee, wine, cider, or any kind of liquors. In 1857 he was married to Emily J. Hunt, who has a mother, two brothers, and a sister still living in this city. The fruits of their marriage has been eight children, seven of whom are still living, the eldest, Frank G, being twenty years old. The other children are Nellie, aged 17; Charles, 14; Cora, 11; Ernest, 9; Lily, 5; and Joy, an infant. About the first oflast January Mr Grover was attacked with pleurisy, and gathering soon after formed on his side, which has been opened three times, which seemed to form an abscess. The post mortem examination showed that his lungs had almost entirely ran off in this way. During all these months he has been a patient sufferer, his greatest care seeming to be that he was so much a burden to his friends. For the last two months Mssrs. Blake, Crutchfield, Wm Brown, and Mr. Foster have taken upon themselves the entire care ofMr Grover at night" and he friends feel deeply grateful to them for their untiring devotion. In accordance with mr. Grover's wishes he was buried upon the far, a short distance south of the house. , (Editor's note) I believe that this is the man who built Grover's bam on 23rd street. It has been the home of a fIre station for several years. �WORLDVITALRECORDS.COM To: . From: David Lifferth, President of World Vital Records, Inc.

IF YOU HAVE ANCESTORS who came to North America from England or Wales, there are many web sites you can turn to for help in tracing their roots. Census returns, for example, have been indexed for 1871 (partially), 1881, 1891 and 1901, and are accessible over the Internet. In addition, you can also view online the indexed images of wills dating from 1384 to 1858. Unfortunately, vital records and parish registers are not yet on the web, unlike those of Scotland. You can, however, view images of the vital records indexes at several websites, and a fully searchable computer index is being prepared by volunteers. Some local indexes of vital records are also online, as are various parish register, census and monumental inscription indexes. Here is my choice of tl-\e most useful websites for English and Welsh research: Census of England and Wales site, which is owned by the UK's The National Archives (TNA). Searching the index is free, but there is a charge of 75 pence to view the digital image of an actual page of the census. It will cost you 50 pence for a transcription of one person's entry in the census, and a further 50 pence will buy an additional transcription covering the remaining people in the same household. A credit-card session costs a minimum of £5 and lasts 48 hours, but vouchers to the value of £5, £10 or £50 last for six months from the date you first use them. In Canada, you can buy the vouchers from the British Isles Family History Society of Greater Ottawa (www.bifl1sgo.ca).

It has an elevation of846 feet. Topeka is located eighteen miles west of it, and Lawrence is twelve miles east of town. It is located amongst seven hills, which are tree covered; along the river to the southward lies a beautifully rolling farm region. It is believed that the site of Lecompton, Kansas, was first visited by French traders who followed the Kansas River as they ventured to explore the west for fur trade with the Indians in the first part of the eighteenth century. By an Act of May 26, 1830, Kansas Territory was designated as Indian Reservation. The tribes east of the Mississippi were encouraged to go there and were promised aid. Indian ReservationAgents . and missionaries were allowed in that territory, but it was not open to white settlement. By 1850, due to the pressure of settlers desiring to move west, the land was purchased from the Indians, and they were persuaded to move to new and smaller reservations. In May of 1854, Kansas was organized as a territory, by the Kansas Nebraska Act, with the right of settlement. The state was to be settled and then at such time as it had reached the necessary . population quota and was desirous of becoming a state, it could by popular election, decide if it wished to be slave or free state. This condition immediately interested both the north and the south, and each started fundi raising expeditions to send emigrants to Kansas. The balance of power between the two sections of the country ·was so evenly matched, that could either section obtain the dominarice in Kansas, it would be greatly to the advantage of both north and south. Accordingly, each started sending settlers to Kansas. The first actual settler at Lecompton seems to have been William R Simmons, who had previously joined J. H. Lane's regiment in Indiana, and fought in the Mexican .War, during which war he received two major wounds. In March, 1852, Mr. Simmons left Indiana and wandered on foot along the Kansas River, until he came upon what was later to be the site of Lecompton, Kansas, where he took a squatter's right claim. Mr. Simmons immediately started a ferry across the Kansas River. Ely Moore recounts in an address, a visit he had with Mr. Simmons. Moore, on his way to Fort Leavenworth with an order for troops to keep trespassers off Indian Lands, stopped at the future town of Lecompton where he heard there was a ferry. There he spied a man sitting astride a log skinning a catfish. Without eve~ looking up, the man saluted Moore with these words, "Stranger, light and look at your saddle," meaning "Dismount and rest". After a few words Moore inquired about a fem. Mr. Simmons pointed to a huge sycamore log some twenty feet long, five feet in diameter and with a center excavation about five feet in length. "Thar's the ferry", he explained, "and hyar's the ferryman."· Noting a slight distrust in Moore's manner, he added, "Don't feel skeery mister, for she's as dry as a Missourian's throat and as safe as the American flag!" . With that they embarked on the "Fairy Queen", as the ferryman termed the sycamore log, and were soon afloat on the Kaw, with but a single paddle to guide and propel them. The only mishap sustained while crossing, was to the horse, who as he swam after the boat, was struck on the shoulder 1 �by a huge drifting log, turning him completely over. However, he soon recovered from the shock and struck out for shore. Somewhat later a ferry boat larger (sic) enough to transport a stage coach and six or eight horses were used to cross the river. In the fall of 1854, Dr. Rodrique and A. G. Boone started out to explore that part of Kansas, their object being primarily to locate claims for themselves and incidentally to select an eligible site for the capital of the territory. . They traveled in thei~ own conveyance and were a~tended by a driver who did duty as a cook. When night overtook them, they camped, pitched their tent, picketed their horses and "roughed it". There were but few roads and little opportunity to get information, as everyone they met, was like they were, explorers. In the absence of roads they did the next best thing and followed the river. By following this from Rock Crossing, then in the course of a few miles coming upon what is now Lake View, which was so large and impractical to cross, they decided to camp for a day, and while the horses wereresting, and the cook replenishing their food supply, to reconnoiter on foot. ·It was early in the morning when they started and the grass and undergrowth was covered with dew. By the time they had gone three or four miles they were wet to the skin . . At length they came to a ridge that terminated abruptly at the river. They climbed to the summit and sat down under a big tree to rest. The longer they rested the less inclined they were to go further. "I think we have gone far enough, Colonel," said Rodrique, and Boone replied that he was about to say the same thing. As the beauty of the landscape impressed itse}fmore and more upon them, they became enthusiastic and predicted that in the great amphitheater of the hills before and below them, that a great metropolis would arise, and would command the admiration of the whole state. Dr. Rodrique pointed down the slope, indicating a spot he would make his pome, (which later lJecame the old graveyard east of town, and where he was subsequently buried). Boone said it was difficult to decide among so many beautiful locations, but he would stay. somewhere. Then the question of a name was discussed. Rodrique suggested "Eureka' , but Boone obj ected and then Rodrique suggested, "Hazel Doll". Boone let out a roaring laugh and proposed "PellMell". "Oh!" said Rodrique, "I know what you want to call it, Boonboro." "No, I don't/' retorted Boone, "but I consider that more appropriate than yo~r sentimental nonsense." Just then a great bird left its· nest in a big sycamore, that stood near by, and as the two watched its flight, Rodrique turned to Boone and said, "Why not call it 'Bald Eagle'?" "It's a go, "said Boone. "I'll consent to that much nonsense- we dedicate it Bald Eagle; let it soar." During the winter of 1854-1855, Samuel D. LeCompte of Maryland, was appointed Federaf Judge of the territory. His good character had been liberally heralded throughout the territory and so in his honor the name of the town was changed from Bald Eagle to Lecompton, as it was felt Bald Eagle· was not a dignified enough name for a town that was a proposed capital. . The men returned to Missouri and at once set about organizing a town company. Elias Armstrong, . a half breed Wyandotte Indian, who had been given a concession ofland for services to his tribe, located afloat on the fractional section and started something of interest in inducing settlers to come to Kansas. The start was slow as the Free State papers would not mention the project because of its southern affiliations, and the Pro-Slavery papers feared it was a rival town and refused to print . . anything about it. 2 �- The Lecompton Town Company was finally organized at the Pottawatomie Agency and consisted ofJudge LeCompte, President: John Haldermen, Secretary; Daniel Woodson, Treasurer; George Clark and Chauncey Donaldson. They decided to send men to the west to locate definitely a town site. . The last of July, 1854, there were four men who arrived at Bald Eagle. They were Dr. Rodrique, Colonel Boone, Samuel Jones, and Major Lyman Evans. Stopping to rest on Court House Hill, they heard a snapping.and crackling of brush, after which a man in tattered garments, hatiess, with hair awry, and a very red face, jumped into their midst, exclaiming, "I saw your smoke and smells a fuss. What are young doing hyar? This air my land, plumb sure and nobody can jump it with a whole skin. Do un's hear my clatter?" This was ferryman Simmons, guarding his claim against jumpers. However; after a parley and a pressing invitation to join them in a good supper, diplomacy won. Simmons was to possess one eighth of the city, free of expenses. Thus the town site was practically established. In. the spring of 1855, the town company held a meeting and reported that D. H. Harting had surveyed the town site, consisting of 600 acres, and had laid out the principal streets and blocks. It was the design and expectation that Lecompton would become the capital and a large city as well; therefore, the streets were planned to be 75 feet wide, to accommodate the traffic of such a place. In the summer of 1853, a caravan of settlers, of which Mrs. Rachel Jane Coulter Todhunter was one, camped at Lecompton, where buffalo and all sorts of wild game abounded. These people decided to stay, and built a cabin and dug a well. This well became the watering place fo~passing trains, and a camping spot for emigrants. Some of these men returned to Missouri in the fall. They came back in the spring of 1854 with their families. As soon as the Land Office opened, Mr. Todhunter filed on his claim. During the month of May, 1855, a steamer came up the river. The settlers were so over-joyed to see the boat and its occupants that they prevailed upon the captain to tie up for a day and a night and give the people a ball. It was a memorable occasion. Mrs. Todhunter joined in the festivities and danced with Governor Reeder. She also helped serve a . dinner to members of the territorial legislature in the Constitutional Hall. During the territorial conflict when there were raids on the settlers' homes, and much horse stealing, single shot rifles were the only available defense. In emergencies it required more than one ri fle if there was to be more than one shot. Mr. Todhunter kept a group of loaded guns in a comer of his cabin. One evening upon hearing a disturbance at his horse corral, he hurriedly reached for a gun, accidently discharging it, killing himself. Mrs. Todhunter was left a widow with three children, but she remained on the farm. Later she became Mrs. W. R. McCarty, and they falmed their original 160 acres. This is probably the oldest farm in the state in continuous ownership . . In 1854, a small group settled around Lecompton. They were A. W. and A. G. Glenn, father and son; G. W. Zinn, J. G. McClanahan, David Martin, M. S. Winter, and William Shirley. The McClanahan and Zinn families traveled together to Lecompton from Missouri, in covered wagons. There was, then, no sign of habitation where the city of Lawrence now stands. Where the future Lecompton was to be located, there was but a single log cabin. The families continued westward for miles and finally decided to locate on the Kansas River. The McClanahans built a preemption cabin to live in until a large one could be built. The following year, a two room log house was built. It consisted of a large kitchen and a smaller room adjoining, There was a large fireplace in the north end of the kitchen and a smaller one on the east side ofthe small room. The kitchen fire place was used as a place to cook. They used a dutch ox 3 �- oven over which they raked coals and baked their breads and other foods. Their food consisted mostly of meat, both tame and wild, breads, and what vegetables tQey could raise. They used grease lamp for lighting. It consisted of a covered bowl containing two spouts, one on either side, out of each protruded a wick. This made a dull smoky light. Soon, on. a trip to Leavenworth after supplies, Mr. McClanahan came home with candle molds and wicking with which to make candles that produced a better light than the grease lamps. A few years later a kerosene lamp was obtained; and to their delight they had a lovely, yellow, glowing light. Their clothing was very simple, the first few years, consisting mostly of garments made of a coarse shirting material. As the McClanahans kept sheep, they sheared them, washed the wool', and the children spent a great de'al of time picking burrs from it. . It was then sent to a carding mill at Leavenworth, Kansas, where it was carded and made into yam. Later Mrs. McClanahan obtained a spinning wheel and spun the yam for the family. All the women of the family knitted and the evenings were spent inknitting socks and various other articles. These woolen socks were worn the year around, as they were the only ones obtainable. Shoes were bought only when a trip was made to a trading post, as at Leavenworth. Whenever the family went visiting or to church in the summer, if they walked, the children went barefooted until they were within sight of their destinat.ion, and then sat down and put on the shoes which they had carried. Shoes were scarce and relatively expensive, therefore, they were to be treasured. . Upon completing the cabin, Mr. McClanahan had made rude chairs, a table, and beds. In the winter, the family slept on feather beds, using another feather bed for covering. This was a' very warm covering, and very needed in a drafty log cabin. The cabin was well chinked and .weather tight, but even so, the doors and windows didn't fit as tightly as in a frame dwelling. Mr. McClanahan later made two walnut cupboards from boards sawed out of logs on the place. These cupboards were used for storing dishes and food. Later a carpenter at Tecumseh made·a six foot long, drop leaf table, and a Mr. Spencer at Big Springs made anumber of chairs, that had hand woven, hickory bark bottoms. One of these was a large rocking chair and is still in·use. There were still Indians scattered around, but they were friendly with the family. It was a cardinal rule among the settlers, that should an Indian corne to the cabin, to give him whatever he wanted, never cross him, as he became ugly. One day an Indian squaw came to the McClanahan cabin, and spying the small daughter Martha playil!g with a tiny cup, demanded it. Normally, Mrs. McClanahan would have instantly given her what she desired, but it was the only toy the child had. It was unlikely that she could get another, because it had been brought from their home in Missouri, so she refused. The child cried, and the Indians squaw insisted. Finally the harried woman said, "No, it belongs to my papoose." The Indian squaw was then satisfied, as Indians were notorious child spoilers, and left. It was unusual for the Indians to ask for things other than food. One fall after Mr. McClanahan had . butchered, an Indian buck appeared and asked for "hoggy" meat. He gave him a head and some jowl. The Indian then asked for a sack, which they greatlyprized. Mr. McClanahan found him one and away he went. Soon another Indian appeared, asking for meat. Mr. McClanahan offered head .and jowl to him. He also asked for a sack. but Mr. McClanahan said he had no more. Whereupon, the Indian pulled a sack from inside the front of his garment, filled it with the meat and left. Sacks were of great interest to the Indians, as theirs that they contrived were so clumsy and heavy, and not as easily carried. . Somewhat later, when the Indians were almost gone, an old Indian buck came to the house and 4 �asked for something to eat. Mrs. McClanahan had just finished churning and had a great deal of . butter milk setting there in the chum. The Indian grabbed up a cup, and drank and drank. Mrs. McClanahan feared he wouid burst. Suddenly he clapped his hand over his mouth, ran for the yard, and was violently sick. Just then, and old squaw came riding into the yard, intent on asking for food also. She stopped to converse with the sick buck, who warned her away, whether he told her, he had been poisoned or what, they never knew, as the Indians never came again. There was little social life for these people for the first few years, only an occasional visitor, or a chance to go to church. School was later held three months in the summer for the girls ~nd three months in the winter for the boys. The purpose of this was to send the boys when there was little else for then to do. The children studied and played games as they have always done. They played ball with homemade balls. They played King William, which was a favorite with the girls. The year following the arrival ofthe McClanahans and Zinns, the Zinn 's daughter, Ann, died. Mr. McClanahan made coffins for the settlers, so he made one for little Ann, and she was taken to Big Springs and buried on the George Duncan place. Next day Mr. Zinn got to worrying abo.ut water getting into the tiny coffin, so he and Mr. McClanahan drove in the lumber wagon to the burial pla'ce, disinterr,ed her, brought her back to the Zinn place and buried her in a field on the western edge of the farm, in what later became Maple Grove Cemetery. He gave an acre of that field to be llsed as a local cemetery; later another acre was added to this tract. This cemetery was used by the community, but subsequently was organized and used by the town also . . There were two other burial places in territorial Lecompton, one located on the hill east of town and called the Bald Eagle Cemetery, where Boone and Rodrique had sighted the Bald Eagle, and another south ofto~n, known as the Migliario Cemetery In 1855; Moses McCall, Major Lyman Evans, F. P. Walter, John Damm, Aloyius Riedmuller, and others came. In August of 1856, Carolyn Wetheim and John Jacob Bahnmaier, immigrants from Germany, came to Lecompton, and were later married. They settled on a farm southwest of Lecompton, where they lived the restof their lives. Riedmuller, Walter, and Damm were stone masons, who came here from Ohio to ply their trade and take up land. They were owners ofland warrants that had been issued to soldiers of previous wars. These warrants were issued in blank, and filled in later when the description of the place was available. After the warrants had been proved, that is the homestead requirements fulfilled, a land patent was issued by the United States Land Patent Office. F. P. Walter filled out his land warrant, built a cabin, and in February ~f 1856 went to Germany to obtain a bride and visit his parents. He was backby August of that year. While he was gone, a squatter built a shelter on a comer of his land, preparatory to taking over the claim .. To discourage him, Walter, Riedmuller, and Bahnmaier would hide in the scrub brush at the, top of the hill, and fire their guns down over the squatter's shelter on a comer of his land. He finally took the hint and departed overnight. The Walters used a spring about a quarter of a mile from the'house as the water supply, as did some neighboring Indians. One day'when Mrs. Walter went to the spring she saw what she took to be a mother cat and kittens. As she was lonely for household animals, she decided to catch some of the kittens and have them for pets. She cornered the moth~r cat, who promptly reared her tail erect and shot a stream of vile smelling liquid all over her face, hair, and dress front. Partly blinded and very sick she hurried to the house for help. Mr. Walter told her, too late, that those kittens were to be treated with respect and never molested, as they were skunks. Indians were frequent visitors at the Walter cabin; and were particularly fond of bread, to which 5 �• they help'ed themselves, ifit was in evidence. Once when they wereparticularly hungry, they came to the door and asked for a chicken or a cow. Needless to say, they were given the chicken .. Mr. Walter worked in Lawrence, walking there early Monday morning and returning late Saturday night. The rest of the week, Mrs. Walter spent alone, often walking to the Big Springs with a bucket of produce in one hand and carrying a. baby. There was soon a steady stream of settlers, politicians, and land speculators to the area of Lecompton. There were seven, four-horse stage and express lines, giving daily service to Kansas City, Leavenworth, Atchison, St. Joseph, Topeka, and Fort Scott. They were always loaded with persons seeking novelty and wealth. Small steam boats early plied the waters of the Kansas River. Usually these boats carried whiskey, but not much was unloaded at Lecompton, as a nearbystillkept the town bountifully supplied. Most of the steam boats were owned by a company, located at Westport. These boats were attractively painted and bore names. The fare from Westport to Lecompton was five dollars. Lecompton possessed a small wharf which had been constructed of large oak planks that extended from the bank out over the river. . In addition to the steam boats, the Indians had small canoes in which they shipped things for the white settlers. Often an Indian would transport a passenger for five or ten cents, and some~imes for nothing. Many stories are told by the old residents, of the struggle by Captain Beasley, to control the traffic on the ri ver. He took all the freight he could stow on his boat without sinking her, even if he had . to unload a part of it to get over the sand bars. Once, in coming up the river, his boat ran aground just above Rising Sun, which was located across the river and to the east of Lecompton. It happened in July, the river was getting low, and when his steamer ran aground he unloaded 1500 sacks offlour in a paw-paw patch. He left a deck hand to guard it until his next trip up the river. At Topeka, several thousand bushels of com were taken on board, to the consternation of the passengers and the trip started back down stream. At Tecumseh, the com was unloaded to make room for a com consignment from that place. This was, in tum, dumped out on a bar above Coon Creek to make room for a lot more at Lecompton. When the boat reached the wharf at Lecompt.on, the banks were piled high with sacks of com. George Zinn was there with a group of laborers to load the boat. After it was loaded, it left the wharf, but piled up on a sand bar and had to wait for a rain to float it. The first store in Lecompton was opened in a log house, by John K. Sheperdson, in the spring of 1856. He purchased and pursued his business but a short time when he sold it to William K. Leamer, who purchased a six-room, native lumber house, to which he moved the store. '. August 8, 1855, Shawnee Mission Legislatlue, located the permanent territorial capital at Lecompton. The legislature passed a law appointing a commission to select suitable grounds, for the location and erecting of public buildings for the accommodation ofthe Governor and other executive offices, and the legislature. The act required the governor to cause a building to be erected out of appropriations by congress. While waiting for these buildings, the Territorial Governor, desiring to move to Lecompton from Shawnee, engaged William M. N ace to erect a suitable building inwhich to hold their sessions, agreeing to pay $1,000 rent, if the building was occupied for 40 days. Mr. Nace undertook and fulfilled the contract. Subsequently the legislature assembled in a hall across Elmore Street, east from the Rowena Hotel and known as Rowena Hall. As Lecompton had been made the territorial capital and the county seat, the legislature was required to convene there, even 6 �• after the ascendancy of the Free-State party, although it adjourned each time to Lawrence. In 1855, the territorial government commenced the erection of a capital building in the east part of town. It was to have been a large stone building and had it been completed would have cost half million dollars, provided the United States Congress would have continued to appropriate until it was completed. Fifty thousand dollars were appropriated, and this amount was exhausted when the basement was completed and the walls to the height of the first story. Work upon it was discontinued and the structure, as it stood, was used as a fort. Ten acres ofthe town company's land' had been allotted for this building, and others that would be built to supplement it. For a place having such a wicked reputation, strangely enough Lecompton had four church organizations; the Presbyterians organized in 1857 and built a church the following year, the Southern Methodist organized andbuilt a church of stone in 1857. This building was used as the first school. In 1858 the Catholics organized and began to erect a church and parsonage, but neither were completed. Colonel Hoole, in a letter to his mother, told of attending a Methodist Church service on April 12, 1847, (probably means 1857?) and mentioned that it was the first one he had heard at Lecompton since the previous July. He wrote that he had to stand during the entir~ service as there were only enough seats for the ladies. The first churches were rude structures that contained seats made of planks set upon stones, chunks of wood, or anything else available. The accouterments were rude, but were lost sight Qf by the people in the midst of a sermon, as they were eager to participate in any worship service. The United Brethren Church was started early, the exact date not known. In February, 1855, W. A. Cardwell was appointed missionary to the Kansas Territory, and his work in the United Brethren Church included Big Spfings, Tecumseh, and Lecompton. The Lecompton Church was formally organized in 1858 with five members, of whom W. A. Cardwell was one. Although he was a Free-state man, he was asked to address the Pro-slavery legislature when in session at Lecompton. On June 30, 1854, Andrew H. Reeder was confirmed as Kansas Territorial Governor, Daniel Woodson as Secretary, and Judge Samuel D.LeCompte as Chief Justice. Judge Cato was later. appointed Associate Justice. it was recommended that Governor Reeder take a prolonged ins'pection trip through the territory, and then take a census so that there could be a territorial legislature election, and also elect a delegate to the U. S. Congress. On November 29, the congressional election was held and a Pro-slavery candidate, Mr. Whitfield, was elected to Congress, the voting being 2,258 for and 647 against. This indicates the feeling in the State of Kansas at that time. In February, 1855, a census was completed of the territory indicating there were 8,501 residents; 2,905 voters, 408 people of foreign birth, 151 Negroes. In March, an election was held for the territorial legislature; to be elected were thirteen members to the Council, and twenty-six members to the House. This was a definite Pro-slavery victory. In this election, the people of Lecompton voted in the home of Colonel I. B. Titus, one and one-half mile south of Lecompton. The vote then was 210 Pro-slavery and 231 Free-state. For being a f1agrantPro~slavery town, this was a peculiar vote. Douglas, a small settlement about two miles east of Lecompton voted 127 Free-state and no Pro-slavery votes. Governor Reeder called the legislature to meet at Pawnee. It was purported that he owned land . there and was desirous of making it the Capital of Kansas, for selfish financial reasons, The legislature later convened there on July 2, but over-rode the Governor's veto and moved to Shawnee. As Governor Reeder could not satisfactorily explain how he had purchased the half-breed' s land at Pawnee, at the price he had paid, he was removed from Office on July 28 th • . a 7 �This legislatu~e then decided to move all the territorial offices to Lecompton and to reconvene there at the next session. . This legislature also granted authority to establish a bridge and ferry at Lecompton, incorporated the city of Lecompton, established the Kansas Medical College, and designated Lecompton as the Capital of the Territory, and comity seat of Douglas County. The legislature was so eager to prepare a code of laws for the territory, and as their time and experience was limited, that upon finding several excellent copies of the Missouri Code of Laws at hand, the clerk offered their passage by page, not topic, after much of it had been tom out of the original form. Thus was our territorial code of laws passed. This was supposed to contain the most slave owner laws of any state in the nation. Among these Slave owner Laws were some that were to harass the Free-state people later. To wit: "If any person print or circulate any book, or speak about it being wrong to own slaves, he shall be guilty of treason and the said nuisance abated." These acts became laws on September 1, and the Kansas Code of Laws consisted of 1,058 pages. . In August, Shannon was appointed Governor of the Territory. He prepared to move to Lecompton and ordered the territorial militia to proceed there. There was, by this time, a sizeable Free-state community at both Lawrence and Topeka, and they were jockeying for position. The Free-state element called a Free-state convention to meet at Topeka for the purpose of writing a Free-state constitution and elect officers. James H. Lane, a rabid Free-state man was leader of this convention. Lane had been sent to Kansas by Stephen A. Douglas to organize the Democratic party here. He was supposed to go to Leavenworth, but due to an error of judgement, he ended up in Lawrence. Upon arriving there, he saw that the Free-state element was the one with the money' and was on the ascendency to the power, and immediately became a Free-state leader, as he desired to hold high public office. He probably was the deciding factor in making Kansas free, by the leading of great hoards of settlers to Kansas, and the shipping in of ammunition and guns. At the Topeka convention, over which he presided, a constitution was adopted arid Charles Robinson was elected Governor. This convention was held out-:-doors, and attended by 500 people .. The delegates were garbed in blue woolen shirts, slouch hats, rough boots, and full unkept beards. Lane was described as being uncouth, unscrupulous, zealous without conviction, pungent, fiery; and magnetic. Although Kansas was not a state,Robinson assumed the duties and privileges of the office of governor which was usurping power and an act oftreason. A. H. Reeder and James H. Lane were elected to the U. S. Senate, but they did not attempt to take their seats. In May, a Grand Jury was called at Lecompton for the purpose of investigating these ,acts. Reeder was called on to testify and the verdict of this jury was that the. "Herald of Freedom" and "The Kansas.Free State", two Lawrence Free State newspapers, and the Free State Hotel at Lawrence be abated as nuisances,and Robinson, Reeder, and other so-called state officers be indicted for treason. On May 10, 1856, Robinson and his wife were en route for the East, where they planned to solicit aid for the Free State cause. At Lexington, Missouri, Robirison was taken offthe boat by Pro-slavery sympathizers. He was taken to Leavenworth where he was kept for several weeks before being brought to Lecompton on June I, and put in the custody ofU. S. troops at Camp Sackett. He was later taken to a cabin near Lecompton. After Robinson's apprehension; Sheriff Jones was sent to Lawrence to destroy the Free State. Hotel, the two newspapers, and take other men prisoners, who had been indicted by the Grand Jury. In this he was aided by the territorial militia and the U. S. troops. Colonel Eldridge hadjust finished 8 �• decorating and furnishing the hotel with expensive furniture from the East. He was ordered to be ready to leave the building in thirty minutes, after which it was completely destroyed. The two newspapers' presses were brok~n up and the type thrown into the river. Charles Robinson's house was pillaged and burned, stores were broken into and sacked. Lawrence was left badly mauled, but no one was killed or shot. Sheriff Jones of Lecompton delighted in this destruction, as on a previous trip there in line of duty someone ofthe city of Lawrence, shot him in the back while in a tent where he was in conference with aU. S. Army officer. He was nearly mortally wounded, but recovered. Jones rounded up his prisoners and took them to Lecompton, where the army took charge of them. Later other prisoners, including John Brown's son were taken to prison there for massacres committed in other parts of the country. These men were held until August, when they were tried for treason. The trial was held in a rude apartment furnished with three tables, two chairs, and six planks resting on wood chunks, stoves, boxes, etc. Judge Cato, tall, thin, closely shaven, with an overgrown mustache, was the presiding judge. He read a newspaper during most ofthe trial, giving only an occasional glance at the business before him . . Weir, the District Attorney, stout, florid, red whiskered, sat on a table with his feet elevated on the stove, "the better to spit into it." He charged Robinson with usurpation of office, which he admitted. The witness swore his being elected governor was just preparatory, and it had never been intended to put the government in force until it has passed through the proper channels. This was not quite true. Nearly all the Free-state men had designed to set the Topeka government in motion and support it by force of arms whenever the Pro-slavery factions drove them to the wall. ' The judge was overbearing, and violent, but Robinson's counsel, confident and Pro-slavery rule nearly over, faced him boldly objected to certain jurors, and took exception frequently. In summing up to the jury, the court charged the jury that if they found Robinson guilty as charged ' by the Grand Jury, and so of treason. After two hours absence the jurors reappeared and asked that the case be reopened and one witness re-examined as they had forgotten his testimony. Judge Cato refused to do so and the jury soon returned a verdict of "not guilty". . .The verdict "not guilty" did not bring the immediate release of the prisoners. There were certain legal technicalities to be cleared up. James Lane, tiring of waiting for their release, and desirous of some good publicity, collected a group of a,bout 700 men and marched toward Lecompton with the idea of releasing the prisoners by force. He placed a cannon on White House Hill and demanded surrender. The U. S. Army troops (200) i.mmediately forted up in the basement and walls of the capital building, while the local men deployed themselves in the ravine to the west. The Lecompton force had two cannons and many men eager to fight, but U. S. Marshall ordered them not t6 fire until attacked. The Lecompton forces with the army numbered but 400 but they were eager for battle. Some of them could not be restrained and fired shots, killing several ofthe attackers. The General persuaded Lane to parley, and upon telling him the treason prisoners were acquitted and would soon be released, he and his force withdrew. For this valiant attempt, Lane received no thanks from Robinson. They were bitter enemies, although Robinson seemed to have been the more vitriolic. In f..ugust 1856, Free-state depredators (sic) in large and small groups scoured the region, raiding opposition, or so-called Pro-slavery communities, filling the air with profanity, intimidating Pro. slavery settlers, shooting at those not properly docile, and plundering right and left. 9 �- While the Free-state men were thus occupied, the Pro-slavery element was not entirely idle. While their depredations did'not match the Free State activities, they were not far behind. As no forces were allowed to takethe field, due to Governor Geary's executive order, and to the vigilance of Colonel Sumner at Camp Sackett, both parties established places of rendezvous from which they could emerge, accomplish their nefarious work and return. The bases of the Free-state men were the larger cities, as Lawrence and Topeka, while the Proslavery men, denied the use of Lecompton, and having few towns of importance, resorted to isolated . log cabins and camps. One of these was Colonel Titus' cabin near Lecompton. The Free-state settlers had been successful in raiding Franklin, and on their return, trip to Lawrence, decided to destroy Col. Titus' cabin and burn Lecompton. By some means, word'reached Lecompton of the approaching raiding p~y and a force of thirteen men, including Franz Walter, .John Damm, Aloyius Riedmuller, stone masons working at Lecompton, was sent out as skirmishers, to seek out and delay raiders. The remainder of the Lecompton force was, upon a prearranged signal to come to their aid. Upon meeting 200 Free-state men, the skirmishers were forced to take refuge in the cabin owned by Colonel Titus; one and one-half miles south of Lecompton. The Free-staters attacked with a cannon (Old Sacramento) using balls made from salvaged newspaper type that Sheriff Jones had thrown into the river. The cannon knocked the chinking from the cabin. The men in the cabin ran out of bullets but still had plenty of powder. As it was feared.they would be murdered if they surrendered, one man proposed they light the powder and blow themselves up. He was overruled, and as no help came, they pushed a white rag out the door and started out with hands upraised. The only casualty occurred when a Free-state man became excited' and shot one of the men through his upraised hand. Captain Walker, Free-state commander, cursed this man violently for the shooting, said he, "None but a damned pirate would do that." Although they were forced to surrender, their mission was accomplished; which was to prevent the burning of Lecompton. It was later learned that when Lecompton reinforcements heard the cann<;m, they gathered up the women and children and hurried across the river. While the Lawrence men were looking for the prisoners and getting them ready to be taken to Lawrence, someone suggested that the cabin be burned. Just then a man appeared at the edge of the clearing and he was appro'ached to seek out his business. He stated he was merely a ho~esteader, but Bill Young, who had heard the commotion and wondered what it was about. They told him that they were going to burn the cabin and started collecting kindling to start it. Mr. Young, who was a friend to the young stone masons, saw that he could do nothing to help his friends, so said, "Well, by God, let's burn it." and proceeded to help get the conflagration started. Colonel Titus, unknown to the raiders, had quite a sum of money and a number ofland patents, ' signed to him in blank in his house. They were apparently all lost. The Lecompton men, not necessarily of Pro-slavery convictions, were taken to a point south of . Lawrence where Walter and Ridemuller escaped. The others were held a few weeks as hostages and then traded to Lecompton for some Free-state prisoners that they held. This small affair was given publicity in all the Eastern newspapers, and gave the impression that the Titus cabin was a great fort, manned by many Pro-slavery men arid that this one incident had routed the Pro-slavery forces. Another incident indicating the type of publicity the Pro-slavery forces received, concerned the small settlement of Rising Sun, directly across the river from Lecompton. This small town purportedly contained a saloon where many vile plots were hatched. Here also was supposed to be 10 �the gathering place of horse thieves. As the story goes, these horse thieves perpetrated a raid on a nearby farm, but they were seen and chased to their place of concealment at Rising Sun, where they were caught with the horses. It was customary, at that time, to simply string up to a tree, a horse thief caught with the goods. As there were four of them a stout limb was' located. It was well braced, and soon four men were stringing by their necks. Two weeks later, a picture of this hanging was featured in all the Eastern newspapers, with this caption, "This is what happens to all known Free-staters in Kansas." It helped to arouse the sentiment ofthe Free-state sympathizers and caused. money to flow into their treasury. Due to the money at their disposal, they swung great weight, and left much garbled account of Kansas territorial happenings. There is also the story told ofthree squatters from the areas several miles southwest of Lecompton, who went to Rising Sun, with the intent of getting drunk. While at their cups, they conceived the idea of murdering a man who owned land near them. They planned to make a noise at the man's corral, thus drawing him out doors to see what the commotion was, and shoot him down. George Zinn overheard them plotting and quickly left the place to go warn the intended victim, a Mr. Cathers. . . Mr. Cathers, upon hearing the story, bundled up his wife and children and sent them to a neighbor, then he and Mr. Zinn barricaded the cabin and sat down to wait. Soon they heard a racket at the corral, but they stayed inside. Finally they saw three men approaching the house. Mr. Cathers calJed for them to halt. Their answer was to raise their guns and prepare to fire. Mr. Cathers then shot his gun, and in the ensuing melee, he killed one man, badly wounded another, and the other fled. This so preyed on Cather's mind that for the rest of his tenure on this place, he was restless, moody, and unhappy. He was in constant fear of retribution from the man he had not shot. The years 1856 and 1857 were the peak years of Lecompton. The interchange of money was so great that the main street was called the "Wall Street of the West". Here was located the land office, which daily attracted hundreds of pre-empters with their witnesses to prove up their land and to' attend contested cases. There were the legislative halls, district and federal courts, the Governor's office, the post office, express office, book and stationery store, drug store, Leamer's store, barber. shops, printing office, lawyer's office, real estate, and land warrant offices. Lecompton also had five hotels; the Novelty, Virginia, American, National, and Rowena. The Rowena, the better known, was most sumptuous. It was a three story stone structure, finished throughout in walnut, and lavishly furnished. It had mostly speculators and transients as its guest, but gave unusually fine services to them. There were, four-horse stage and express lines giving daily service. to Kansas City and Leavenworth, with more roads serving it than any other town of its size in the state. The population at this time was numbered more than five thousand. . The first physician to locate in Lecompton was Dr. Aristides Rodrique, who was also the first postmaster at Lecompton. The Post Office was established under the name of Douglas, Kansas Territory, March 3, 1853. It was placed in the cabin of Andrew McDonald, on November 6, 1855. it was moved to'Lecompton with Rodrique as postmaster; and his son became postmaster in 1857. Young Rodrique was something of a practical joker. He, with several others, seeking ~ bit of amusement at the other fellows expense, conceived the idea of playing a joke on a conscientious townsman. They circulated the report that the postmaster had a large amount of cash on hand and that a gang of outlaws were planning to burglarize the post office. After the report had been widely advertised, they approached their victim with the proposition of his guarding the office, to which he 11 �• readily agreed. He was given a muzzle-loading shotgun which had been previously loaded with paper wads, placed him in the lobby and instructed him if anyone attempted to enter the building to say three times, "Who comes there?" if they didn't answer when he repeated the question the third time, to shoot. A few hours later, one of the gang slipped to the door and attempted to pick the lock. The guard followed the instructions, or almost did. He made the demand and fired one shot at the same instant. Result? The door was almost blasted from its hinges. The panels were all biown out, and the fellow who rattled the door got the scare of his lifetime. A new door was provided, at the expense ofthe pranksters, and it was a long time before they told their friend, the guard, of the joke. This should have cured young Roderique of his inclination to practical joking, but it did not, and it was to have fatal results. , One day young Roderique and a number offriends were amusing themselves by tormenting a town character about his lady friend. The fellow finally left the crowd, went to Leamer's store where he bought a dirk knife. He returned immediately to where his tormentors were congregated in frontof the post office. Roderique began teasing him again. He drew the knife and stabbed Roderique, causing his death iIi a few hours. A man, aiding Roderique, asked the tailor's son to hurry to his father's shop for cloths to use as bandages, which he did, but there was no help for Roderique. The stabber was arrested for his act, but Judge Lecompte, sympathetic with the dull witted character, let him put up worthless bail, and told him ifhe wouldjoin the U.S. troops that were then bivouacked near town, he would be allowed to go free. This he did, and was never heard from again. ' In August, 1856, J. W. Geary was appointed temtorial Governor. As he entered Kansa~,he held hearings along the way to detemiine the extent andtype of trouble between the two factions. As a result of these, he made Federal troops out of both Free-state and Pro-slavery forces, as soon as he took over the office at Lecompton; this (thus?) they were all under his control, the saine as all other army men. This was a master stroke and it did away with many private armies that were committing the local depredations, as such an act would be treason. Immediately, there followed a number of arrests for pillaging and shooting. These cases were tri ed. in the court ofJudge LeCompte, resulting in the damning of his reputation by the Free-state forces, and his subsequent removal. Colonel E. C. Little, a U.S. Representative for many years and Arth ur Capper, both personal friends of LeCompte described him as a quiet, inoffensive, polite gentleman. The New England Aid Society was very active in aiding Kansans at this time. They appropriated great sums of money and sent great caravans of people to Kansas: Lane, himself, led them from Iowa, to the Nebraska border and on deep into Kansas. One caravan he was leading, upon hearing that they were to be met at the Kansas border by U.S. troops and searched, hastily dug holes and buried their cannon, and hid their guns in sacks of seed .. There were seven women in a group and each was assigned to a different wagon, to give the impression that this was a family group. This fooled the army general somewhat, but some of the sabers and guns were found and confiscated. These were taken to Lecompton and kept stored until Governor Denver was forced to surrender them to an armed mob led by Colonel Eldridge. These deceitful acts were all right for the Freestaters to perform, but were liscientuous (lascivious?) acts when perpetrated by the Pro-slavery forces. It seemed that Kansas would go to whomever got there "fastest with the mostest".' In November, 1856, thirty-nine Free-state prisoners escaped, and Sheriff Jones resigned because of the poor jailing. conditions. He did not feel that he could fulfill his duties properly. Judge LeCompte was notIfied that he had been removed, but his appointed successor did not qualify sO'he remained in office. 12 �In January, 1857, the county commissioners appointed William T. Shirred as sheriff to succeed Jones. Shirred was loved and respected by all who knew him. As there was a personal difference between Shirrard (changed spelling?) and Governor Geary, he refused to issue a: sheriffs commission. Writs and other documents were placed in Shirrard's hands, but as some of the writs concerned some of Geary's protegee's, he refused to issue the commission, thus keeping Shirrard . from executing the writs. After some days Shirrard called on Geary asking why he was refused a commission, and there was a heated exchange of words. Finally Geary stated that in the absence of Secretary Woodson, he had not the right to issue such papers. Shirrard withdrew, determined to wait a few days after Woodson's return, and then again demand his commission. This he did and took his troubles to the territorial legislature, who called Geary and his cohorts to the session for an accounting. Geary gave the excuse that Shirrard was a dnll1kard, brawler, and ilJ fitted to his proposed job. This was a deliberate falsehood, and upon Geary's withdrawal from the halJ, Was accosted by Shirrard who calJed him a liar and spat upon him. Geary and his two guards passed by Shirrard as though there had been no incident. The governor's friends held an open air meeting as soon as it could be arranged to deliberately slander the fine reputation of Shirrard. There were men from Lawrence, and all the residents of Geary's official household at the meeting. Hampton had charge of the meeting and after various harangues, when Shirrard arose to defend himself a Mr. Sheppard arose and cailed him liar. Where-upon Mr. Shirrard told Sheppard to defend himself. Both drew out pistols and shot.Shirrard was hit twice, but not mortally, so both threw down their pistols and grappled each other. A Mr. J ones, a friend of Governor Geary, whipped out his pistol and shot Shirrard in the head as Sheppard held him. Part of his brain was shot away and he died the next day. Jones was taken into custody, but was helped to escape, so no one was even punished for this crime. This act so discredited Geary that his office tenure lasted less than six months, and he accomplished little during that time. The U.S. Senate refused to confirm Harrison to replace Judge LeCompte, the legislature could . not work with Geary, so he became frightened. He resigned March 26, and enlisted the aid of some Free-state prisoners to help him get out of the state. They contacted their friends who offered to help him escape ifhe would pardon the Free-state prisoners. Geary was in such ahurry, he accepted their help but neglected to write outthe pardons; He escaped the territory in disguise. On February 19, 1857, the legislature passed an Act to provide for a census of voters to be taken by county sheriffs on April 1, the returns to be in by April 10. Upon the basis of this return the government was to apportion sixty delegates to the convention. The delegates to meet at Lecompton the first Monday in September. This bilJ was passed over Geary's veto. Each faction was hoping to write a constitution suitable to Congress, the one accepted would designate whether Kans~s were to be slave or free. In March, R. J. Walker was appointed governor of territorial Kansas and F. P. Stanton was Secretary of the territory. Stanton arrived in Lecompton in April and made a Pro-slavery speech, but promised to be fair. Governor Walker arrived in May and in an August address clairned that isothermal lines would indicate where slavery would be. In plain words this meant, the temperature would confine slavery to the south . .Slavery in Kansas was something of a joke. Those that were here were here primarily for propaganda purposes only. In the 1857 census there were only 200 in the entire territory, and by . 1860 there were only two. There were approximately fifty slave holding settlers, who brought their slaves here at the peak of the strife. Some of the slaves were passing through the "underground a 13 • �• rai lroad". In 1857, aslave woman, Anne Clarke, owned by George Clarke and Colonel Titus, nin away and . sought refuge in Topeka. Her whereabouts was discovered in her flight to Chicago. A widow Brooks owned three or four household slaves in Lecompton. At Douglas, nearby, Mr. Ellison and Mr. Willis each owned slaves. Slavery was successful in those areas only where scanty clothing and little shelter were needed and an abundant supply offood available. These conditions were not characteristic of Kansas. One old gentlemen in a nearby community had a very difficult winter with his slaves. After one froze, and another was permanently crippled due to frostbite, he put his slaves to bed to keep them warm, and he himself went out to cut wood for them. Buck Scott, a slave, went to Lawrence with the agreement with his master that he would send him 70% of his wages were he allowed to go there. At the Big Springs hotel there were eleven slaves. So Kansas was not a successful slave state. She merely leaned toward the thinking of the South. The South wanted the state to be Pro-slave to gain two Senators in Congress. The results of the April census showed 9,251 eligible voters. Douglas County had 1,318. In August when the election for the Lecompton Constitutional Convention was held, there were only 2,071 votes. The Free-state people refused to vote because the Govemor would not correct the legal voter list to one Free-state man to one Pro-slave man. This of course, was illegal. The April census was also used for the apportionment of the members of the territorial legislature. There were to be , thirteen Senators ahd thirty-nine Representatives. . The Lecompton Constitutional Convention met at Lecompton on September 7, but adjourned to meet in October 11. When the delegates started to assemble at Constitutional Hall, they found several hundred Free-state men gathered around the hall, barring entrance. As the U.S. troops were no longer stationed there, the delegates stayed away from the convention until the 19 lh , when the troops came to guard them and keep away 'free-state rabble-rousers'. The U.S. Army established a camp of several hundred soldiers and some brass field pieces. This discouraged further interruptions from the Free-state hordes~ . By November, the convention had completed its work. It has a complete section providing for slavery, and also allowed four sections ofland for the schools, and a percentage of all the returns of all salt mines, mineral springs, and mines in the State. It also provided for a liberal university grant. These were the outstandingly good features of the constitution, which were fought by the people desiring personal gains. • On November 12, a political convention was held to nominate officers and serve under the Lecompton Constitution. Frank J. Marshall was nominated for Governor; William G. Matheas, Lieutenant Governor; W. T. Spicely, Secretary of State; Blake Little, Auditor; J. B. Cramer, Treasurer; and J. P. Carr, Congressman. The Constitution was presented tq the people on December 21, and they could vote for the constitution with slavery, or for it without slavery. The sulking Free-state people refused to vote. The vote was 6,226 for the Constitution with slavery, and 569 without. This document with the certifica~e of election was sent to the President to be given to Congress for their approval. This, President Buchanan did in February, Congress discussed it, but due to some Free-state pressure, it was recommerided that it be sent back to Lecompton to be resubmitted to the people. Meanwhile, a congressional investigation committee was appointed tobe sent to the Kansas Territory, to go into reported election frauds. The outstanding, so-called, fraud was the Delaware Crossing returns.· J. 14 �• D. Henderson, was one of the first witnesses called. He finally admitted adding 336 names to the legal voter list. The election returns that had been given to Survey General Calhoun had been placed for convenience sake in a candle box. MacLean was Calhoun's chief clerk and was the custodian. Calhoun had gone to Missouri. MacLean was summoned to appear before the Senate committee and bring the election returns. He appeared, but stated he had sent the returns to Calhoun in Missouri. He then hastily returned to Lecompton, and hid them, as he supposed securely, in an adjacent wood-pile, at midnight. Charles Torry, taken to be only a stupid janitor of the office at' the time, from whom it was not necessary to conceal anything, observed the movement at the woodpile and sent word to Colonel Walker, of Lawrence. Early the next day, Walker called MacLean with a search warrant. "They are not here," said MacLean, "I have sent them to Calhoun. You are welcome to search." "Of course, they are not here, but 1 know where to find them," replied Walker, as he left the office with his posse and moved confidently toward the wood-pile. When MacLean saw Walker's movement toward the wood-pile, he hastily left the office, procured a mule and s~t off across the prairie for Missouri. ,' ' The candle box was carried to Lawrence, where it proportedly (purportedly?) yielded up the fraudulent election returns. On the strength of this, the committee recommended a new election. The results of this election was a rejection of the constitution by a vote of 11,300 to 1,788. Where the extra votes came from was not questioned. Thus the Lecompton Constitution died for all time, on August 2, 1858. In December, 1857, the territorial legislature again met at Lecompton. They received a message from President Buchanan endorsing the Lecompton Constitution. On December 17, Secretary Stanton was replaced by Secretary Denver, and on the same day Governor Walker resigned, leaving Secretary Denver as acting territorial governor. Early in 1857, word had reached the Pawnee land office at Lecompton, of bushels of gold nuggets in streams at the foot of the Rocky Mountains. The people of Lecompton assembled and decided, to send an organization there to form a town site and occupy the ground. An organization was perfected and money provided for this project. A train was made up of five wagons, twenty-five men provisioned for six months, seventeen were mounted, and there were eight wagon drivers. They arrived at the present site of Denver, laid out claims and attempted to name the place. They could not agree on a name, and so they decided to wait until they got back. They started for home in December; a few days before arriving here, they came upon many wild turkeys, a buck deer, and a buffalo calf. They decided to give a wild game supper to celebrate their return so provisioned themselves bountifully. At the supper, Governor Denver was the outstanding guest, and as everyone loved the kindly old man, it was unanimously decided to name the new town, Denver. In January, 1859" the legislature convened at Lecompton, but was immediately adjourned to Lawrence, as the Free-state members wished to boycott the Lecompton hotel accommodations. This legislature provided for the Wyandotte Constitutional Convention,which wrote the constitution which was accepted by the territory November 1, 1859. Each succeeding year, until 1861, the territorial legislature met at Lecompton and adjourned to Lawrence. The Governor preferred for economy ofthe time and money, that the legislature remain at Lecompton. The U.S. Congress had provided money for living accommodations at Lecompton, and as there was not much business at hand, it could be quickly concluded. There had been a nice hotel completed that winter, and the legislators could be more comfortably cared for at Lecompton 15 �than elsewhere. The Free-state Legislators, however, were a vindictive lot and determined to get the legislators into Lawrence and pay for their lodging out of their pockets. This, they did, and continued to do so long as Kansas was a territory. State businesses were drained away from Lecompton, houses moved, buildings tom down, and the town gradually became smaller and smaller, until it reached a population of 400. With a promoter, such as Robinson was for Lawrence, very likely much of the business could have been held here. The people seemed to prefer a quiet, rural existence and so did not fight to retain these businesses. They did keep a rich historical background. The Kansas conflict was a "tempest in a teapoC It really involved few of the settlers and was more of a contest for power between few aggressive leaders, than a general embroilment.. Money and ink won; the Wyandotte Constitution was adopted and Kansas became the thirty-fourth state, January 29, 1861.

The principal thoroughfare, that was to be leading from the steamboat landing by the easiest grade to the Capital and CourtHouse was named Shannon Avenue, for the Governor; the main interseGting street was named for Secretary Woodson; the one that became, in after years; the principal street was named Elmore for the U.S. District Judge; A. J. Isaacs, and John A. Halderman, U. S. Attorneys have streets named after them; there isa Boone' street, but there is no street or avenue named for Roderique as there should have been acc9rding to early settlers. The ruins of Fort Titus, built in 1851, named for Captain Titus, are found on the Dale Glenn farnl. located about one and one-quarter miles west. The fort was constructed of oak logs and measured about twelve by nine feet. The fori was intended to serve as a protection against the fury ·of some 200 Free-state men who looked to Captain Henry J. Shombre and Colonel Sam Walker as their leaders. , The battle of "Fort Titus" occurred August 16, 1856; Sam Walker and his command took twenty prisoners, Titus among the number and burned the "fort". The next day Governor Shqnnon, who has returned to Lawrence, accompanied by Dr. Rodrique and Major Sedgwick, liberated all the prisoners confined here. While there, he received the news of his removal as governor, and of Geary's appointment. Governor Geary arrived here on September 10, and the day following issued his inaugural address. Captain Titus, Pro-slavery leader, was the only person in the fort on the night it was attacked by the Free-state agitators. Some fled by means of boats, across the Kansas River. At one time, the most noted and expensive residence in Kansas was the home of Governor Frederick P. Stanton, built in 1857. It wa,s located three miles east of Lecompton, Kansas:' The mansion was constructed of native stone, exhumed on the site where the housesto<;>d, and finished inside with walnut, which was brought from Pennsylvania, and erected in days when the. territorial capitol was located in Lecompton, before the designation of Topeka as the capital city dealt a death blow to Lecompton's hope of becoming the center of the State's political activities. The house was two stories high in addition to a spacious basement which was placed a little below the level of the ground. It had a hip roof. The building contained altogether, nineteen rooms, eleven of which had large stone fireplaces. The basement contained seven rooms, one of which had no windows and was probably intended to serve for ajail for the household slaves. The first floor and (had?) four large rooms in addition to one spacious hallway which extended the length ofthe house. Also on this floor was a large library. The second floor had been divided into eight rooms; six of which had fireplaces. Frederick P. Stanton arrived in Lecompton on April 15, 1857. Since Governor R. T. Walker had not yet arrived in the territory, Mr. Stanton became the acting governor. According to some; Mr. Stanton shared the Democratic prejudices against the Free-statepeople, although later on ofthe most ardent champions of the Free-staters which he joined after he had been disowned by the Pre,sident and his party . . On May 27, Governor Walker arrived and assumed the duties of the State. The Governor verified the administrative policy outlined by Stanton, and assured the Free-staters of protection in the . coming elections. The fulfillment of the pledge constituted a turning point in Kansas affairs, thus enabling the Free-state men to triumph in spite ofthe election frauds perpetrated by the Pro-slavery 17 �men. Even with a pistol at his breast, Stanton is said to have refused to certify voters cast at Oxford, which he knew to be fraudulent. The outcome of affairs was disastrous to Walker and Stanton so far as their affiliation with President Buchanan and the Democratic party in Kansas were concerned. Governor Walker departed for Washington to appeal to President Lincoln; whereupon Governor Stanton again became acting governor. Walker did not return. Stanton was soon removed and was succeeded by 1. W. Denver. Weary of the petty strife, Stanton withdrew to the mansion, east of town and resided there}ire years and invited guests there during that time. In 1862, Mr. and Mrs. Stanton, with their two daughters, Alice and Virginia, moved to Virginia, where Mr. Stanton resumed the practice of law. Later the family moved to Florida where Mr. Stanton died in 1894, at the age ofeighty. Where once his beautiful mansion stood, there remains only thebasement and parts of crumbling walls. When the broad roof still sheltered this home, one could reach through a hatchway and on a clear day see the smoke .stacks of Lawrence, to the east and the Kansas State House.in ~opeka, to the west. May of 1903 was a chilly, rainy month. There were only a few days on which actual sun shine was present. The rest were marked by almost continual rainfall. It rained not only in Kansas but also in Oklahoma and Nebraska. The tributaries of the Kaw had been filled to a great depth. These swollen streams were, for the most part, responsible for the flood. Word reached Lecompton, Kansas, in the early part of May that the West had been havirg many· rains and cloudbursts, but little the people of Lecompton thought that such conditions would in any way affect them. Papers stated that the Smoky Hill and the Solomon Rivers were out of their banks but still no flood dread was here. Near the sixteenth of May, people began to notice the rise of the water, but as this had happened before, no heed was given it. A short distance from Lecompton, an old Kaw Indian, squaw had once lived. She had foretold the coming of the flood and also had declared that her tribe had witnessed a flood before that had exterided from bluffto bluff. Her tribe believed that every sixty years, a flood might be expected. On the night of May 24 th , the people inhabiting the "Kaw" bottoms were placed in a· terrible situation. The "Kaw" in over-flowing from the south had completely surrounded them and had for the time, at least, turned their valley into a miniature island. The citizens of Lecompton heroically volunteered their services in an attempt to rescue these who were thus cutoff from the main land. "Uncle" lake Hill, one of the rural mail carriers of this time, relates that he made his customary rounds with the mail but that the only mail he picked up on the 'route was a post card. On the 24th of May, the water was so high that the trains ceased passing through Lecompton. The mail they carried was hauled by livery truck from Topeka. Realizing the dangerous position that Lecompton was in, some of its citizens thought of a plan whereby, if conditions grew still worse, they might still have enough food for everyone. The plan proposed that each family should be allowed a definite amount of sugar, flour, coffee, and other . necessities. The plan was a wise one and it worked successfully. Rain seemed the lot. For a time, it rained both day and night until the people feared that it was going to be a flood similar to the one experienced by Noah. It has often been recalled that the number of days it rained in 1903 nearly equaled that of Noah's time. Thirty days of rain in succession was recorded in Lecompton, and in places the river was five miles wide. 18 �Lawrence Standard . Aug. 7, 1879 Post Office Curiosities The ordinary run of mortals are not acquainted with the mysteries and curiosities of the internal machinery of a post office, and it is well . for them that they are not; as thereby considerable worry and confusion is escaped. A brief interview with themailingclerk.this morning, at the Lawrence post office revealed a condition of things that will be of interest. There are now about fifty lett~rs in the post office here that are vainly asking a destination. These letters have accumulated within the past two or three days though the accumulation usually averages only about fifty a week.

Now you have!! Take advantage of our popular research reunions. The Sumner County Archives will make available our meeting room to groups for research. Once a vast wilderness area beyond the Cumberland Mountains Sumner County became the most populous county in Middle Tennessee in 1786 only 20 years after its first explorers and 10 years before Tennessee became a state. Remarkably, this was all accomplished while settlers were enduring Iridian attacks. Sumner played a major and unique role in the expansion of the West as a permanent home for many and a way station for others who remained long enough to leave footprints. Those footprints await you ad the Sumner County Archives. .

ANNUAL SCHOOL REPORT, LAWRENCE SCHOOLS, 1937 -1938 (copied in 2006 by Richard Wellman, from pages 72-73, regarding "The Physical Plant") It would be very difficult to look back over the years and find a time when the buildings and grounds comprising the physical plant of the Lawrence school system have been in better condition. Since the erection of the new Pinckney and New York buildings and the removal of the old structures at Quincy, Pinckney, and New York, our elementary schools are housed in quite modern, well-planned and well-equipped buildings. With the addition of two rooms at McAliaster this summer, that school will be able to accommodate the kindergarten and six elementary grades, making it a complete elementary school for the first time. In recent years our grounds have received much more attention. The droughts of the last two summers caused a number of trees to die, but one hundred new ones have been planted and more will be replaced in the fall. Heating, lighting, and ventilating systems, although not all they should be, have been greatly improved in the older buildings, especially. Scientific and effective floor treatment has been made a part of the program, and our custodians have become very skillful in maintaining them. Outside painting has been caught up and is being kept up. These and other improvements are described in more detail below. CORDLEY-Cordley school was first occupied during the school year 1914-1915. At that time it was a four-teacher school. In order to accommodate a rapidly growing section of the city, another story was added in 1928. An inadequate and defective sewer system had to be replaced a few years later. More recently the boiler was found to be somewhat wasteful of fuel. After removing the original covering of bricks in which it was set �Page 2 of 3 and given an asbestos covering, its efficiency was greatly improved. Another recent building improvement at Cord ley is the addition of a well-equipped stage in the gymnasium-auditorium. Considerable new furniture has been installed in the classrooms. This year a new floor in the kindergarten is very much needed. Other improvements include some changes . in the library, now located in one of the former primary rooms. While it would be desirable to plan a new building quite differently, these improvements have made of Cord ley a satisfactory elementary school plant. UNCOLN-This is our smallest school. It was erected at the same time Cordley and McAllaster were built. It has four good school rooms on the main floor, with gymnasium-auditorium in the basement. The school has no stage. Only two regularly organized classrooms are in use, as the enrollment is but approximately 50 pupils. A new roof was found necessary about three years ago. The boiler should be re-set, as was done at Cord ley . The building is in better than average condition. . McALLASTER-This is the third of the three elementary building erected in . 1914. It, too, was a four-teacher school when first opened. They gymnasium-auditorium floor has been entirely replaced, due to the damage done by water and termites. The boiler has also been re-set, making a much more satisfactory heating plant. This school has also had an attractive stage installed recently. The most of the rooms have been equipped with new furniture, but additional purchases are needed. Mention has already been made of the two-room addition now in process of construction. NEW YORK -This building was erected in 1934, and first used on Thanksgiving Day of that year. It is a one-story structure of colonial type, with library, kindergarten, craft room, and eight standard classrooms. All are equipped with modern furniture. We are painting the exterior woodwork this year. Here we have another beautiful, modern school plant. It is also regarded as one of the best school plants in the State of its type. At the time the building was erected, about half a block was added to the playground, making its situation quite ideal in this respect. PINCKNEY-The new Pinckney building, on the site of old Pinckney, was erected in 1930 and 1931. It was occupied in the fall of 1931. Some additional playground was purchased at the time, and since then we have secured a lease entitling the school to use that portion of Clinton Park south of the ravine as a playground for a period of 50 years. In return for this privilege the City of Lawrence has been granted the use of the old Quincy grounds for a Similar period. The building is a handsome two-story school plant of modernistic architectural type. It is our largest elementary school, enrolling over 400 children each year. It has, in addition to office suite, clinic, music room and auditorium-gymnasium, a library, a kindergarten room, craft room, and twelve standard classrooms. All rooms are well equipped with modern furniture. The entire interior has just been redecorated, including the painting of the walls and ceiling of the auditorium. We now consider the building one of the most complete and modern in the State. WOODLAWN-This is one of the newer buildings, replacing old Woodlawn which burned in 1923. It has an ample amount of playground space and serves many community uses. In addition to the auditorium-gymnasium, office, library, kindergarten, and clinic, eight standard classrooms are provided. The boiler room of this building is inconveniently located, and it is not provided with an automatic stoker, as other of our newer schools are. This building has been repainted recently and is in very good condition. JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL -The Junior High School plant consists of three buildings: 1.) Old High, which was occupied by the senior high school until �Page 3 of 3 1923. 2.) Manual, which is a building erected for use in conjunction with . the high school, containing the shops, home economics laboratories, classrooms, etc. 3.) Central, formerly an elementary school, and later used for the seventh and eight grades-the beginning of the junior high school in Lawrence. While the buildings are old, and in many respects. outmoded, a great many changes have been made in recent years to bring them up to an acceptable standard. Wherever practicable the lighting has been improved; floors have been replaced or refinished; storm doors added; interiors decorated; seating modernized; library greatly developed and moved into adequate quarters from the former cramped space; shrubbery planted about the buildings; grounds surfaced; sidewalks renewed, etc. It has become necessary to use attic space for physical education classes. They were not designed for this purpose, and at best are a makeshift, although every effort has been made to . fit them up adequately. This additional weight and strain must cause some weakening of the structures, although no serious indications have appeared. Some rodding has been done, and probably more should be done to safeguard the situation. One of the serious handicaps of using three buildil')gs instead of one has, in the past, been the crossing of the streets in all kinds of weather and in the midst of street traffic. Much of the crossing has been eliminated by a revamped organization of classes. No playground space was originally provided with these building. Almost the only outlet is a small space south of Central, or the nearby park. As soon as financial conditions are favorable, a modern school plant should be built. Its exact location, structure, and accommodations should be a matter of much. intensive study by administrators, curriculum committees, board members, and citizens. This should begin now. It is extremely important. SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL -This building, known offiCially as Liberty Memorial High School, was erected in 1922-23. At the time it was, probably, the finest high school plant in the State. Although a number of larger· buildings have been erected in Kansas more recently, it still ranks as a first-class senior high school plant. It contains an auditorium, a gymnasium, several large shop rooms, a cafeteria, home economics laboratories and classrooms, offices and clinics, library, study hall, . lavatories, dreSSing rooms, and approximately thirty other classrooms. Recently an additional shop, for the use of the general school mechaniC, has been built in space formerly unoccupied, under the main floor at the south end of the building. Although the bonds were issued to run over a period of twenty years (and some will probably have to be refinanced), the roof provided carried only a ten-year guarantee. Consequently, we have already had a number of roof repair and replacement bills. This summer it is necessary to replace the gymnasium roof. The auditorium, gymnasium and dressing rooms are due for decorating this year, as they have had no work of this nature since the building was first occupied. Some additional current for illumination must be provided in the gymnaSium, as the present service lines are already loaded to capacity. One of the two automatic stokers which feed the boilers for heating purposes had to be replaces a few years ago, and the second one must be replaced this year. The stokers have been a good investment, as they have cut fuel bills very materially over the years. A good deal of work has been done in reconditioning the heating and ventilating system. Many pipes have had to be replaced, and new installations have been necessary many times to bring the plant up to higher effiCiency. Nevertheless, this building has been well maintained and visitors invariably place its age much less than the 15 years it h~s seen service. �ANDERSONVILLE PRISON INFORMAnON During a trip this sUmmer the editor stopped at the Ande~onville.

ONLINE ADVANCES IN GENEALOGY Genealogy Today- A Web site that provides online resources for family history at www.genealogytoday.com - recently implemented a database called the Military Roots Project The project transcribes military service date from books containing rosters muster rolls and troop histories. Originally containing several thousand names, the database is regularly updated. Users can search for surnames or sign up to be notified when information is added. This service is currently available free of charge, but users must register for an annual subscription. The Military Roots Database can be accessed at www.militaryroots.com. After gathering data on relatives, an amateur researcher can plot the chronology of his or her bloodline on a map using Map YourAncetors.com. This site contains many of the lauded features of Google Maps. A marker is placed at each person's birthplace, and lines on the map connect parents to their children. Click on a marker, and the map zooms into a ballpon window displaying the ancestor's photo and other information added by the user. The home page contains the map of President George W. Bush's ancestry as a demonstration of these features. (from DAR magazine Spirit, May/June 2006) �OPEN UP MILITARY FILES AND LEGENDS COME OUT by Andrea Stone In April 1958, a "Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Erickson" of Sacramento handwrote a letter to thenfIrst lady Mamie Eisenhower asking her to "please, please be so sweet and kind as to ask Ike to please bring Elvis Presley back to us from the Army." The next year, an irate Rose Phelan of Oak Park, IL, typed a letter to her congressman after reading a newspaper item that said Presley might get an early discharge for "good behavior." Phelan demanded that her son, also stationed in Germany, get the same treatment. Unfortunately for Sgt. Presley, the Army's adjutant general had the last word Maj. Gen R.V. Lee wrote that the famous soldier "will not be released in a manner different from any other inductee serving overseas." The correspondence is part of Presley's military personnel fIle, and until now it was beyond the public's prying eyes. But starting Saturday, June 11,2006, the public will be able to peek for the first time into the private military service fIles of 150 famous people. They are just the most prominent of nearly 1.2 million records that the National Archives and Records Administration will open at its facility in St. Louis. It's the first of several public releases expected between now and 2067. Most of these fIles contain the records of Navy and Marine Corps enlisted troops who served between 1885 and 1939. The fIles are stored at the federal National personnel Records Center outside st. Louis, the largest National Archives facility outside the Washington, D.C. area. Until now, the fIles were off-limits for privacy reasons. Only the veterans themselves, their immediate family and those with special . permission could view them. Just how sensitive such fIles can be was made clear this week by a report in The Boston Globe on newly released Navy records of Sen. John Kerry, D. Mass. Kerry refused to release the full fIle during the 2004 presidential campaign, but ifhe had, the documents would have revealed that Kerry received four D's in his freshman year at Yale University and had a virtually identical grade point average to his younger classmate, George W. Bush. Most military records are less controversial. They are used to determine government benefits and pensions. The fIles being opened to the public contairi tens of millions of pages that include , enlistment papers, training records, award citations, performance ratings and written correspondence .. The paper records, some of them brittle and crumbling, are among 56 million military personnel files stored at the Archives' massive warehouse in St. Louis. They belong to the Pentagon, which had planned to destroy the older fIles until the Archives began talks in 1999 to take over custody �and preserve them. th Military records archivist William Siebert says similar records from the 18 century and the Civil War are among the most sought after and actively used documents in the Archives. "Logic would tell you that similar records from the 20th century would be similarly valued by the American people," he says. Under an agreement with the Pentagon, personnel files can be released to the Archives 62 years after a service member leaves the military. Record of "persons of exceptiOlial prominence can be released 10 years after death. Among other files being made public are those of boxer Joe Louis; baseball great Hank Greenberg; actors Henry Fonda, Humphrey Bogart and Steve McQueen; former presidents Franklin Roosevelt and John Kennedy; and military legends Douglas MacArthur and World War I Medal of Honor recipient Alvin York For the most part, Saturday's release includes enlisted sailors and Marines. Officer files from the Navy and Marines will be released starting in 2036. The first general release of . Armh and Air Force service records won't happen until 2022. But baby boOmers or their offspring hoping to get hold of their parents' or grandparents' records rna be disappointed. A fire in 1973 destroyed 29 million Army records, including most from World War n. Even so, says government archivist Gregory Pomicter, the surviving records are "a gold mine for historians and genealogists. 2 WAYS TO SEE THE RECORDS The National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis will formally open the records of 1.2 million military service members at a ceremony Saturday (June 11, 2006). How can I view these records? >In person. In the research room at the center. Appointments are recommended because space is limited and some brittle records may require treatment to be handled. Call 214-801-0850 >By mail. Copies can be requested by writing to the National Personnel Records Center, Page Ave., St. Louis, MO, 63132-5100. Copies cost 50 cents a page. Records aren't available by email, and they aren't online. �AUTOMATION OF LAND RECORDS NEARLY COMPLETE by Larry Cave, General Land Office Records Automation. The BLM-ES General Land Office Records Automation Team is nearing the completion of scanning and indexing nearly 1.25 million post-1908 land-ownership records (patents) maintained at the BLM Eastern State Office in Springfield, VA. As of March 15, less than 140,000 of these serialized patents remain to be scanned and indexed. This phase is scheduled for completion in December, 2005. These land records include serialized patents issued for all of . the public land states, including the West. The first phase, completed several years ago, involved scanning and indexing of more than 2 million eastern states' land records, primarily cash and homestead patents. This second phase consists of automating federal land grant records from July 1, 1908, when the General Land Office centralized the issuance of patents out of their Washington Office, until the early 1970s when this authority reverted to the various BLM state offices. These serialized patents also include a sizable number of resurveyed areas of the West, creating a noticeable increase in the complexity of the records handled by staffers. For example, a patent that may have covered a single 640-acre section of land (with a single land description on the document) might now be shown as consisting of 16 lots, each containing about 40 acres (creating 16 land descriptions to be indexed and verified). The remaining documents to be processed by 2010 include about 150,000 cash and homestead patents, about 65,000 "credit patents", dating back to 1788, and some 100,000 patents, covering the period from mid-1907 through July 1, 1908, when the various loca1land offices stopped .~ssuing their own patents. Also remaining are more than a h81f million military bounty warrants "from the 1800s and other miscellaneous records. More than 4 million land patent images are currently available for viewing online at www.glorecords.blm.gov.

These are primarily books In the "929.273 Series" that are cun housed on the first floor of the Family History Library (previously housed on the fourth floor of the Joseph Smith Memorit Bulldlng)~ At the present time (September 2005), about 5000 books have been digitized and are available, and they haVE announced that they are adding about 100 titles a week to the on-line collection. Copyright issues are playing a role in determining the order in which they progress through this task; books out of copyr are being done first. As these Family History books are digitized and placed on-line, an entry is being placed in the Family History Library on-I catalog with a hyperiink to the digitized Image. By going to the FHL On-Line catalog, you can search for a specific name, a book that has been Indexed using the name, and view It on-line, flipping through the pages as separate -pdf"' Images, the same as If you were on the first floor of the Family History Library. Of course, the indexing that Is available through t FHL catalog Is only as good as the human Indexers made It; typically they only Indude the amp" 4 to 6 names that appei each book in their indexing efforts. But there is even better news! The digitized Images of these Family History books are actually being stored on the electronic servers at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. By going directly to the BYU web site to view the Images, there are several additional possIbilltlE that provide genealogists functionality that they have never had before. You are now able to do full-text searches on each book, and 0 every digitized book In the collection.

At the age often years he went with his parents to northwestern lllinois. When thirteen years of age he was taken by his father's uncle aboard a mail packet running on the Ohio river between Cincinnati and Portsmouth, Ohio. When the Civil War was declared he intered the service of the Federal army as a drummer.

He was raised to the sublime degree of a Master Mason, June 6, 1881, at Ottawa, where he sill is a member of good standing. Naturally he was a close observer, always quick to see whwere he might lend some assistance in time of need. He put strong stress to the principles taught in Free Masonry, endeavoring to live a life similar to the life of Christ, feeling that in so doing he was living the life of a Christian and the world wold be better by his living in it. This instrument was written by T. E. Moore. It is my wish and request, regardless of where I may die that the Masonic order have charge of my funeral.

Derivative citizenship was still practiced. 1907 A female US citizen who married an alien lost her US citizenship and took on the nationality of her husband. Repealed in 1922 but citizenship not restored until 1936. 1918 Aliens serving in US forces during World War 1 could be naturalized without any residency requirement. 1921 The first Immigration Act to establish quotas of immigrants based on national origin was enacted. 1922 Women 21-years of age and over were entitled to citizenship. Derivative citizenship was discontinued. Residency requirement to file a declaration of intention was waived. 1924 The citizen act of June 2, 1924 provided that "all non-citizen Indians born within the territorial limits of the United States be, and they are hereby declared to be, citizens of the United States." This included Indians living on tribal reservations. Also, first permanent quota law was passed. 1936 Women who lost citizenship when manying aliens could regain citizenship by taking oath of allegiance. ' 1940 The Alien Registration Act required registration and fmgerprinting at a local post office within 30 days of arrival. '1946 War Brides Act passed to assist foreign-born spouse and/or children ofretuming U.S. armed forces to immigrate. 1952 The Immigration and Naturalization Act Amendment abandoned the country of origin system of setting quotas on ethnic groups and gathered other laws into one statue. 1953 Ellis Island closes. 1965 National Origins Quota System abolished; replaced by numeric system. NOTE: Naturitlization,is V:~luntary: According to Census Bureau, of the foreign born persons listed on the 1890-1930 censuses. 25% had not become naturalized or filed their first papers. 0412005 �IMPORTANT NATURALIZATION PROCESS TERMS Marilyn R. Finke 1. Declaration of Intent (first papers): Filed by the immigrant when they apply for citizenship.

What name(s) did your subject use? When (approximate year) did the naturalization occur? Or, when did the subject arrive at a location? Or when were first papers filed? Where (city, county, & state) did your subject live at the time he or she was naturalized? What courts had jurisdiction over the area where your subject lived at the time of the naturalization? (courts may include a county court, city court, federal court, or a state supreme court). What does the Federal census say? **** After you have answered these questions to the best of your ability, search the naturalization records of the courts on your list for the appropriate time period. Other considerations: Female? If your subject is a woman, was she married at the time of naturalization? If married and the naturalization occurred before September 22, 1922, she probably received derivative citizenship through her husband. There will be no record. Child? Was your subject a child of parents who were also immigrants? If so, the child may have received derivative citizenship through the naturalization of his or her parents. .

NOTE: I have corrected some obvious errors, but in most cases I have copied the spelling and wording as it was in the original.) Her I~stitutions --Schools - Colleges - Churches - Business Men and Women A Sketch of One of the Prettiest Little Towns in Kansas "Ef they's anything pertier 'n a wheat field 'long 'bout middle of June tip toein' over the second rail of a fence and looking down the road fer a reaper, I'd just like to have you fetch it along" said occupant ofthe seat on the Southern Kansas train with the Journal's hired man who was headed toward Baldwin City Monday. Continuing our farmer friend said: "Yes sir as I was sayin', this is the healthiest year fer wheat I ever saw, Med'terranean er Orygon don't make no difference; all good - all has that cheerful hardworking sort of air, standin' out there in the meadder, independent like, as a hired man on a strike. Tanned up too a little jest about now, not got the rus I don't mean, for it's onusually free this year; but jest kinder tanned like. But it's perty all the same now hain't it." And indeed it was, acres and acres stretching away on both sides of th track like a lake whose shores were the deep green hedges and sweet quiet orchards which were the only object, varying the pleasant monotony of the fields of wheat and oats. There ate kingdoms in the east whose royal treasuries are filled from a domains less bounteous than old Palmyra township, but no king in Christendom rules over a people more happy, contented and intelligent than the citizens of Baldwin. For even ifrepublics are ungrateful their citizens are prosperous and as Baldwin's republican majority is some they like the peace of God which passeth all understanding so the degree of her prosperity is of a magnitude quite beyond measurement. Many things have contributed to this including industry, patience and thrift. And the greatest ofthese is thrift. One see it on every hand upon the street. Nothing is lost, there are not those barren vistas of vacant lots which generally disfigure the out skirts of country towns, acting as a sort ofneutral ground between the industrious farmer and the too often lazy townsmen. In Baldwin every vacant lot is turned into a garden and made to do good in the world. Those who founded Baldwin were that sort of people - people who believed in everything counting and the present citizens of th town have followed well in the footsteps of their municipal fathers. In fact the men are so busy and preoccupied that they have turned over the management of the city to the women, that mayor being Mrs. Lucy Sullivan and the council-women being Mrs. Hyde, Mrs. Stewart, Mrs. Dr. Martin, Mrs. Kidder and Miss Lillian Scott. These ladies are to all appearances, doing their work well, for our entire day's stay in the city failed to reveal any disorder orany but the best of municipal control in everything. With due respect for the women of Baldwin who have so recently come to the front, it is but justice to say that the present prosperity of the little city is due to the activity and push of the business men of the place. They have been awake to the best interests of the city and have been at the same time ever cautious of so called booms and other superficial methods for temporarily increasing trade or popUlation. They have tried and succeeded in securing for the tqwn a steady growth, a gradual but firm development which few towns outside of Douglas county can boast of. �BAKER UNIVERSITY Perhaps nothing would so well epitomize the moral and intellectual tone of the community of Baldwin as Baker university. Having a progressive faculty fully abreast of the times, and students whose principal object is to learn and learn well; and supported by the moral sentiment of the West, Baker university,whose history began before that of the State of Kansas stands today the peer of any educational institutional west ofthe Mississippi. Dr. Gobin, its president, is a man of high culture and is known in educational circles everywhere. The graduates of Baker in Kansas and the West. speak more and better for the school than columns of newspaper praise can do. THE CHURCHES The moral tone of Baldwin is so high that the bar-room loafers over in one-gallused Missouri say that the prayer meeting is the only caucus they know, and that the Baldwin voters prepare their ballots on their hymn books. While this may not be literally true still the fact remains that the spiteful fling of the Missourian has a foundation, for no city in Kansas has better churches nor feels more directly the influence of its churches than Baldwin. The M. E. church was established at Baldwin in 1855 and has been continuous in its work for good ever since. The services are now held in a beautiful stone chapel, where about 600 worshipers are under the spiritual guidance of Rev. Gullett. The Presbyterian church first held its meetings in Palmyra township in 1859. Ever since then that denomination has been represented in Baldwin and a few years ago erected a handsome church edifice where the Rev. Goodale presides. LODGES The various leading benevolent organizations are found in the city, including the Masons, the Odd Fellows, the G. A. R. and the A. O. U. W. These lodges are well supported and have upon their rolls the best citizens of Baldwin and community. THE SCHOOLS In some towns of the State it is a surprise to the stranger to find good high grade schools but in Baldwin one expects such things; so when they tell you of their new $10,000 building and their excellent system of school you are not surprised. Miss Lillian Scott (who is also a member of the city council) is principal of the schools and much of their present success is due to her. She is assisted by Mr. Charles Lewis, Misses Frank Campbell, Ida Huff and Kate Hukill. There are nearly 300 pupils enrolled. Each ofthe instructors is well liked and is doing admirable work. The bright faces ofthe children on the street indicate that the next generation of Baldwiniters will be amply able to do credit to their fathers. COMMERCIAL INTERESTS Baldwin, as was intimated at the beginning of this article, is situated in the midst of a rich farming community. Wheat, com, oats, rye and all farm products abound here; and Baldwin is the natural market, hence as the merchants of the town are close to the farmers and producers, wealth and good times are never entirely wanting. BALDWIN CREAMERY - W. E. RALSTON One of the most substantial institutions of Baldwin city, and in fact, of Douglas county, is the Baldwin creamery operated by W. E. Ralston. The creamery has a capacity of 2,000 lbs. per day and is run at the rate of about 1,500. Itgets cream from a radius oftwenty miles, from Gardner on the east to Overbrook on the west. The present manager Mr. Ralston, is a quiet young man who understands his business thoroughly, and has done what the company could not do -- has made the creamery pay a good percent of gain. He has as many friends as he has acquaintances, and his li.st is growing every day. Douglas county is better off for having Mr. Ralston in its boundaries. THE BALDWIN CITY BANK Prominent among the business places of Baldwin and second to none in stability is the �Baldwin City banle It has been doing business for five years and has gained the confidence of all the citizens of the place and surrounding country. It claims for president, H. H. Humphrey; c!lshier, S. R. Humphrey; and A. B. Topping for assistant cashier. Each of these gentlemen carries a large amount ofinfluence in Palmyra township and is known by all as an honorable man to whom integrity is a prime virtue. The bank's large and growing business is probably due to this cause. J. L BRISTOW & CO. Of course book stores in Baldwin should be successful and none could be more so than the book store ofJ. L. Bristow & Co. J. L. Bristow is the present county clerk of Douglas county, and Mr. "Co." is none other than Prof. Quayle, the cultured and astute professor of Greek in Baker University, who is known for his learning all over the country and who would have few equals as a buyer for a bookstore. Mr., E. G. Hill is the gentlemanly and urbane clerk who represents the absent proprietors, and he does so well that the young ladies of Baldwin recently took a secret ballot and pronounced him the best looking young man on the townsite, except Charley Gault, W. H. Webster, Clarence Finch and the man who runs the feather reno vater. Mr. Hill, aside from his personal charms is correspondent for the Topeka Capital and deputy postmaster. THE GLOBE DRUGSTORE One of the new firms, but none the less successful, is the Globe Drug Store., under the management of Dr. W. F. Osborn and John Brady. Mr. Brady has been in this country for seven or eight years and has the respect and confidence of a large number of friends. Dr. Osborn, however, is a comparatively new comer having lived in Burlington, Kansas, until last March. He brings with him from that place the highest recommendation both as a physician and a gentlemen, and is fast increasing his practice and enlarging his circle of acquaintances. The drug store carries also a line of books and stationery and is enjoying a good patronage from the citizens of Baldwin. DRY GOODS - L. B. KEIFER Since 1874 the Baldwin City folks have been buying dry goods and notions of L. B. Keifer and the fact that they still persist in doing so is pretty clearly indicative of the fact that Mr. Keifer treats them squarely and gives them their money's worth. He weilt to the University and came within three· months of graduating but concluded he would go out and get a little of the practical side of life and wait a little while for his diploma. He is still waiting. But he has the practical side of life down pretty fine. SULLIV AN & LEAVITT - GROCERY Among the young energetic firms of Baldwin, Success has got her finger pointed at the firm of Sullivan & Leavitt. The firm has only been organized since November but it has been unusually favored by fortune. Both of the young proprietors are energetic business men and know the value of industry well applied - and are applying it in adult doses. Their stock is fresh and everything looks neat and clean around the store. As Sullivan's mother is the mayor, the firm stands in with the city administration very solid, probably. S. LAKE - STAR GROCERY One of the few Democrats in Baldwin is Mr. S. Lake, but he is doing lots of business just the same. Some time ago a Democratic paper took occasion to say that in Baldwin no republican would trade with a democrat. Mr. Lake however had the manhood, however, to rise above partisanship and publicly denounces this statement as false. He has been in the grocery business five years and has always had a profitable trade although right in the center of a republican township. STURDIVAN & NOTT - BOOTS, SHOES, ETC. These two gentlemen have lived in Baldwin for many years, Mr. Sturdivan coming there in '56 and Nott in '77, and both have gained enviable reputations for square and honest dealing among the citizens of the community. Their store was full of purchasers the day our correspondent �struck the town so he could not talk with either of the gentlemen as long as he would have wished he might. But the number of customers spoke more of their business than words could have done. Wl\:1. HUFF - GROCER We were introduced to' the gentleman whose name heads this paragraph, as judge, owing to the fact that aside from dealing out a first class line of mackerel, strawberries and clothes pins from time to time, he had been also honored by the office of police judge by the citizens of Baldwin and according to all reports filled his office to the satisfaction of every one. If he makes a good judge as he does grocer, justice can quit weeping and give him a steady job. He is a good republican. SCOTT & SON, DRY GOODS This firm has only been established in Baldwin two months, but as they succeed Dicklow & Co., they fell heir to a good _ _ _ _ (illegible) _ they will not only hold but materially increase. The firm has a store in Burlington also and the reputation of the gentlemen who compose it as that place is so enviable that it has become known all over Eastern Kansas. W. M. Scott, the junior member of the firm is located at Baldwin with his charming young wife, who would be a valuable acquisition to any social circle. The young folks are fast endearing themselves to the people of Baldwin and nothing but success can await them. I. E. BARTON - GROCERIES Mr. I. E. Barton has been identified with Baldwin City and Palmyra township for twentyone years; has fought grasshoppers, faced drouths, cyclones, and chintz bugs, and still looks across the counter of his grocery store as pleasantly as if he had just stepped out of Paradise and hadn't the odor of Eden out of his clothes. He has a fine farm near town and an orchard which has overflowed the walls and is running over on the railroad track. His grocery trade is good and he is making lots of money. M. L. CROSBY - TINWARE M. I. Crosby has lived in Baldwin and sold hardware, stoves and tinware and voted the straight republican ticket for twenty years. He is an old standby in all of these things. His goods are as straight and sound as his republican principles and he is proud of both of them. He tells a good story about a democrat at a revival who said when asked if he could tum from the path of sin and be a Christian; "No sir, I hiant. I been a good Bourton democrat now for risin forty year, and I haint a going to desert the 01' party this late in life;- you can bet on that." BODWELL & STURDY - MEAT MARKET When Baldwin folks want nice clean meat for company dinner, they send the boy down to Bodwell & Sturdy's to get it. The firm has been selling this kind of meat for four years, but both members have been citizens of Douglas county for a good many years. Bodwell came here in 1856 and has seen Kansas grow from a sage bush dessert to a prosperous commonwealth. Mr. Sturdy has succeeded in getting into the good graces of his neighbor by his honesty and integrity. Their business is equal to that of many shops in much larger towns. HENRY HUMBERT Compared with some of the real old timers Mr. and Mrs. Henry Humbert are new comers. Mr. Humbert has been running a restaurant for two years but before that ran a hardware store. Mrs. H. owns a millinery store and is doing a good paying business. She has succeeded admirably in receiving for her customers the many of the best ladies of Baldwin and her styles are always authority in that place. MOSEL Y & SON - BAKERY, ETC. One of the fixtures of Baldwin is the senior member of the firm mentioned above. He came here twenty-six years ago; and being a stone mason by trade, helped build Baker university. He has attended every commencement of that institution. In the bakery business he has associate with him his son, and together they are turning out bread so light that they have to weight it down at night to keep it from flying away. The many customers of the bakery appreciate this. �THE CRADER HOUSE The Crader house is a large, home-like looking place, with cool verandas surrounding it The interior is neatly finished and furnished and the traveler who rests there finds all his heart can ask for comfqrt.

It has been newly furnished throughout and is open to the pUblic. Mrs. Johnson, the estimable hostess, is putting forth every effort to make her guests feel at home and in all things feel satisfied. She never loses a customer who has eaten at her board. BROCKWAY & STUART- RESTAURANT The boys up at the college have made Brockway & Stewart their headquarters for the last four years and have found here all the good things in reason. The trade of this house among the college boys is good, for college boys better than anyone else, know how to appreciate good treatment. Mr. Brockway has been in the county fifteen years, and Mr. Stewart nearly that. His wife is a member of the council.

A+J~com• .Er"""""'J'The No.1 SOIIroe for Family History Online Ancestry Daily News George G. Morgan - 8/12/2005 Tips for Getting Past Genealogy Burnout It happens to all of us at one time or another. Our genealogical research becomes so frustratin~ or confounding that we feel like throwing in the towel. At other times, we may feel overwhelmed with the other extreme of having acquired so much information about a person or family, some of it conflicting with no means to reconcile it, that we want to give up. ' You are not alone I This is a syndrome I call "genealogy burnout" and it can be hard to get past it. I've been through it countless times in my 43 years of researching my "nes. In "Along Those Lines ... " this week, I'd like to share some tips I've developed to help avoid those feelings of genealogy burnout and get beyond them when they do creep up. Set Your Problem Aside for a While Often I find that I've been working on researching one person or one family for so long that I've become obsessed. Perhaps the better choice of word is "possessed." The point Is that I become fixated on that one person and the one fact that I am trying to discover, prove, or disprove. When that happens, my objectivity can be compromised, and I can no longer seem to be able to see the proverbial forest for the trees. At the point at which I begin to become frustrated and surly about my research (even the cats In the house notice it!), I know it's time to stop. It's time to set this so-called "brick wall" aside and to redirect my energies in another direction. That's when I turn to another person or family line to research. Sometimes that means leaving one family and working on another, possibly one I've been putting off because of my obsession with the problem-person. _ Sometimes, I may simply sidestep to the sibling(s) of my problem person and research there for a while. This can payoff as I find more materials and documentation about a sibling and perhaps can extend my research further~ck._ Then it may be possible t{) link from the parents to the problem subject. Re~ad Everything You Have Acquired on the Person or Family OVer time, we acquire a lot of genealogicai" materials about people. When I get stuck on an individual, I go back and pull everything I have about him or her. Usually I have these materials filed in.a binder-but not always. (You know how it1s.) I make sure that every piece of information or material is organized chronologically as it happened in the person's life. ~ then re-read through everything as if I have never seen it-before. I don't just scan it, I read it. That is because new information I may have learned or acquired may now make me reeognize_the significance of content in another document. The knowledge and understanding we gain in pieces over time, when assembled and re-read just like a chronologicaJ biography, may suddenly provide insights that help you get past the brick wall. At the very least, you will get to know the person better and may be able to anticipate some of the decisions and actions of the person. Create 8 Timeline "No man [or woman] is an island," it is written. Everyone is inftuenced by the people, events, and places around them. I like to study oid maps and read the histories of the areas where my ancestors lived. Genealogical society journals from the area often include insightful stories as well. One way I approach a problem person or family is by creating a tirnefine. While a family group sheet may be a great tool for seeing the overall structure of a family unit, it doesn't take into consideration the impact of wars, famine, disease, financial problems, national and international affairs, social and religious conditions, and other external forces. It also doesn't place in chronological sequence the events relating to other , http://www.ancestry.comlIeamllibrary/article.aspx?article=10323&print=1 8/1612005 �Ancestry.com - Tips for Getting Past Genealogy Burnout Page2of2' , members of the family such as births, maniages, divorces, deaths, relocations, emigration or immigration, and It does not represent any special relationships that might have existed between individuals. Creating a written, chronological timeline should include the presence at every point possible ofthe person (s) you are researching and their family members. Use censuses, church and religious records, land ~nd property records, and other resources. Once you have constructed the timeline, you can read it as if itwere the outline of a family history. It may also give you clues for additional research and gaps you still need to address. Attend a Conference for New Ideas Whenever I get into or close to a burnout stage, my enthusiasm Is energized by attending a conference or workshop of some sort. I always find something interesting at my local genealogical society meetings, both in the speaker's presentation and in the networking discussions I have with other members. We discuss strategies and share research anecdotes that may make me approach a problem differently. A state conference or a national conference, such as the upcoming Federation of Genealogists Conference in Salt Lake City fl-10 September 2005) or the National Genealogical Society's conference, are lifechanging experiences. Where else can you hear from nationally- and internationally-recognized experts, great speakers, authors, and genealogical book and software vendors, and from lineage, heritage, accreditation, speaking, and writing societies? These people really know their stuff and are ready to teach you. A brief consultation with one or more of these people may just be the lift you need to re-energize you. Don't Get Frustratedl I know from experience how frustrating and overwhelming genealogy can be, and I hear researchers all the time who say they think they've reached the end of the line. They tell me they just can't seem to make any more headway. Thafs when I share the tips with them that I've shared with you above. We humans love to create records about ourselves. And somewhere there is that one record or resource that you need, even though it may not be in the form you might expect. Keep your options open and remember that there may well be alternative records that may help satisfy your needs. Whatever you do, don't give up. This genealogical odyssey we're making is fun, interesting, instructive, and helps build tasting relationships that can make your life richer. Happy Hunting!

The Family and Local Histories collection at Ancestry .com IS one of the premium subscnptlon databases. Within this collection I have found digitized books that are not available in my local public library's rather sizeable genealogi~1 collection. Once you identify a book in the collection, you can click on the link to display a search template and a full table of contents. The search template allows you to search within that . book (title) only or among all the Family and Local Histories collection. Of the three titles I had identified in SOGCAT, I found William Ball Wright's book (#1) and Horace Edwin Hayden's book (#3). While I did not find book #2, I did find several other BALL genealogies, including two whose contents added to my knowledge of some of my direct ancestors. . 1. Edward Ball and Some of His Descendants, by Nicholas Ball 2. The Ball family of Southwest Virginia: a genealogy of some of the descendants of Moses Ball of Fairfax County, by Palmer Ray Ball Ancestry .com's images allow me to zoom in and out of the document, change the resolution for faster loading, scroll from page to page, and print, save, and/or e-mail the material. Since I had not found the second book in Ancestry.com's collection, I returned to the search template and entered the first name of William, the surname of Ball, and a keyword of Colonel, hoping to narrow the search a bit. The search results were even more encouraging than I had hoped! The two books I'd already found were included, but there were ninety-six other search results. The first one in the list is a 1941 book titled A Few Early Families of America, by Johnson Albert. When I clicked on the link, I was taken to page 136 where William Ball (Colonel) is listed as the father of one Joseph Ball. A drop-down box at the top of the screen labeled "Go to section:" allows me to move around the rest of the sections of this book, including the table of contents and the index. In the index I could look at all the Ball family members included in the book. Based on the page number listed for William Ball, I returned to the top of the screen and entered page number 135 as cited in the index. That page was displayed and, sure enough, there was Col. William Ball. (My exact search using the keyword of 'Colonel' had excluded this page because his military rank was abbreviated. This taught me another lesson about entering too narrow a search.) Making the Connection with the Books I am a huge fan of Interlibrary Loan and I use it a lot to extend my research into materials in the noncirculating collections of distant libraries and archives. However, I never forget that there are digitized local and family histories online, searchable, printable, and with other options. As I showed you in this scenariO, I was easily able to locate and access two of the three books at the SoG that had been digitized, and this saves me another trip to England as well as using ILl. I also found several other books I had not known were part of the Ancestry.com Family and Local Histories collection. Boy, do I have more fodder for my research now!

Now you have!! Take advantage of our popular research reunions. The Sumner County Archives will make available our meeting room to groups for research. Once a vast wilderness area beyond the Cumberland Mountains Suffiner County became the most populous county in Middle Tennessee in 1786 only 20 years after its first explorers and 10 years before Tennessee became a state. Remarkably, this was all accomplished while settlers were enduring Indian attacks. Sumner played a major and unique role in the expansion of the West as a permanent home for many and a way station for others who remained long enough to leave footprints. Those footprints await you ad the Sumner County Archives.

Since the erection of the new Pinckney and New York buildings and the removal of the old structures at Quincy, Pinckney, and New York, our elementary schools are housed in quite modern, well-planned and well-equipped buildings. With the addition of two rooms at McAliaster this summer, that school will be able to accommodate the kindergarten and six elementary grades, making it a complete elementary school for the first time. In recent years our grounds have received much more attention. The droughts of the last two summers caused a number of trees to die, but one hundred new ones have been planted and more will be replaced in the fall. Heating, lighting, and ventilating systems, although not all they should be, have been greatly improved in the older buildings, especially. Scientific and effective floor treatment has been made a part of the program, and our custodians have become very skillful in maintaining them. Outside painting has been caught up and is being kept up. These and other improvements are ' described in more detail below. CORDLEY-Cordley school was first occupied during the school year 1914-1915. At that time it was a four-teacher school. In order to accommodate a rapidly growing section of the city, another story was added in 1928. An inadequate and defective sewer system had to be replaced a few years later. More recently the boiler was found to be somewhat wasteful of fuel. After removing the original covering of bricks in which it was set I 2 31' �Page 2 of 3 and given an asbestos covering, its efficiency was greatly improved. Another recent building improvement at Cord ley is the addition of a well-equipped stage in the gymnasium-auditorium. Considerable new furniture has been installed in the classrooms. This year a new floor in the kindergarten is very much needed. Other improvements include some changes in the library, now located in one of the former primary rooms. While it . would be desirable to plan a new building quite differently, these improvements have made of Cordley a satisfactory elementary school plant. LINCOLN-This is our smallest school. It was erected at the same time Cord ley and McAliaster were built. It has four good school rooms on the main floor, with gymnasium-auditorium in the basement. The school has no " stage. Only two regularly organized classrooms are in use, as the enrqllment is but approximately 50 pupils. A new roof was found necessary about three years ago. The boiler should be re-set, as was done at Cordley. The building is in better than average condition. McALLASTER-This is the third of the three elementary building erected in 1914. It, too, was a four-teacher school when first opened. They gymnasium-auditorium floor has been entirely replaced, due to the damage done by water and termites. The boiler has also been re-set, making a much more satisfactory heating plant. This school has also had an attractive stage installed recently. The most of the rooms have been equipped with new furniture, but additional purchases are needed. Mention has already been made of the two-room addition now in process of construction. NEW YORK -This building was erected in 1934, and first used on Thanksgiving Day of that year. It is a one-story structure of colonial type, with library, kindergarten, craft room, and eight standard classrooms. All are equipped with modern furniture. We are painting the exterior woodwork this year. Here we have another beautiful, modern school plant. It is also regarded as one of the best school plants in the State of its type. At the time the building was erected, about half a block was added to the playground, making its situation quite ideal in this respect. PINCKNEY-The new Pinckney building, on the site of old Pinckney, was erected in 1930 and 1931. It was occupied in the fall of 1931. Some additional playground was purchased at the time, and since then we· have secured a lease entitling the school to use that portion of Clinton Park south of the ravine as a playground for a period of 50 years. In return for this privilege the City of Lawrence has been granted the use of the old Quincy grounds for a similar period. The building is a handsome two-story school plant of modernistic architectural type. It is our largest elementary school, enrolling over 400 children each year. It has, in addition to office suite, clinic, music room and auditorium-gymnasium, a library, a kindergarten room, craft room, and twelve standard classrooms. All rooms are well equipped with modern furniture. The entire interior has just been redecorated, including the painting of the walls and ceiling of the auditorium. We now .consider the building one of the most complete and modern in the State. WOODLAWN-This is one of the newer buildings, replacing old Woodlawn which burned in 1923. It has an ample amount of playground space and serves many community uses. In addition to the auditorium-gymnasium, office, library, kindergarten, and clinic, eight standard classrooms are provided. The boiler room of this building is inconveniently located, and it is not provided with an automatic stoker, as other of our newer schools are. This building has been repainted recently and·is in very good condition. JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL -The Junior High School plant consists of three buildings: 1.) Old High, which was occupied by the senior high school until �Page 3 of 3 1923. 2.) Manual, which is a building erected for use in conjunction with the high school, containing the shops, home economics laboratories, classrooms, etc. 3.) Central, formerly an elementary school, and later used for the seventh and eight grades-the beginning of the junior high school in Lawrence. While the buildings are old, and in many respects outmoded, a great many changes have been made in recent years to bring them up to an acceptable standard. Wherever practicable the lighting has been improved; floors have been replaced or refinished; storm doors added; interiors decorated; seating modernized; library greatly developed and moved into adequate quarters from the former cramped space; shrubbery planted about the buildings; grounds surfaced; sidewalks renewed, etc. It has become necessary to use attic space for physical education classes. They were not designed for this purpose, and at best are a mClkeshift, although every effort has been made to fit them up adequately. This additional weight and strain must cause some weakening of the structures, although no serious indications have appeared. Some rodding has been done, and probably more should be done to safeguard the situation. One of the serious handicaps of using three buildings instead of one has, in the past, been the crossing of the streets in all kinds of weather and in the midst of street traffic. Much of the crossing has been eliminated by a revamped organization of classes. No playground space was originally provided with these building. Almost the only outlet is a small space south of Central, or the nearby park. As soon as financial conditions are favorable, a modern school plant should be built. Its exact location, structure, and accommodations should be a matter of much intensive study by administrators, curriculum committees, board members, and citizens. This should begin now. It is extremely important. . SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL -This building, known offiCially as Liberty Memorial High School, was erected in 1922-23. At the time it was, probably, the finest high school plant in the State. Although a number of larger buildings have been erected in Kansas more recently, it still ranks as a first-class senior high school plant. It contains an auditorium, a gymnasium, several large shop rooms, a cafeteria, home economics laboratories and classrooms, offices and cliniCS, library, study hall, lavatories, dressing rooms, and approximately thirty other classrooms. Recently an additional shop, for the use of the general school mechaniC, has been built in· space formerly unoccupied, under the main floor at the south end of the building. Although the bonds were issued to run over a period of twenty years (and some will probably have to be refinanced), the roof provided carried only a ten-year guarantee. Consequently, we have already had a number of roof repair and replacement bills. This summer it is necessary to replace the gymnasium roof. The auditorium, gymnasium and dressing rooms are due for decorating this year, as they have had no work of this nature since the building was first occupied. Some additional current for illumination must be provided in the gymnasium, as the present service lines are already loaded to capacity. One of the two automatic stokers which feed the boilers for heating purposes had to be replaces a few years ago, and the second one must be replaced this year. The stokers have been a good investment, as they have cut fuel bills very materially over the years. A good deal of work has been done in reconditioning the heating and ventilating system. Many pipes have had to be replaced, and new installations have been necessary many times to bring the plant up to higher effiCiency. Nevertheless, this building has been well maintained, and visitors invariably place its age much less than the 15 years it has seen service. '.

ONLINE ADVANCES IN GENEALOGY Genealogy Today- A Web site that provides online resources for family history at www.genealogytoday.com - recently implemented a database called the Military Roots Project The project transcribes military service date from books containing rosters muster rolls and troop histories. Originally containing several thousand names, the database is regularly updated. Users can search for surnames or sign up to be notified when infonnation is added. This service is currently available free of charge, but users must register for an annual subscription. The Military Roots Database can be accessed at www.militaryroots.com. After gathering data on relatives, an amateur researcher can plot the chronology of his or her bloodline on a map using MapYourAncetors.com. This site contains many of the lauded features of Google Maps. A marker is placed at each person's birthplace, and lines on the map connect parents to their children. Click on a marker, and the map zooms into a ballpon window displaying the ancestor's photo and other infonnation added by the user. The home page contains the map of President George W. Bush's ancestry as a demonstration of these features. (from DAR magazine Spirit, May/June 2006) . ' I(l\ r.:y �OPEN UP MILITARY FILES AND LEGENDS COME OUT by Andrea Stone In April 1958, a "Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Erickson" of Sacramento handwrote a letter to thenfirst lady Mamie Eisenhower asking her to ''please, please be so sweet and kind as to ask Ike to please bring Elvis Presley back to us from the Army." The next year, an irate Rose Phelan of Oak Park, IL, typed a letter to her congressman after reading a newspaper item that said Presley might get an early discharge for "good behavior." Phelan demanded that her son, also stationed in Germany, get the same treatment. Unfortunately for Sgt. Presley, the Army's adjutant general had the last word Maj. Gen R.V. Lee wrote that the famous soldier ''will not be released in a manner different from any other inductee serving overseas." The correspondence is part of Presley's military personnel file, and until now it was beyond the public's prying eyes. But starting Saturday, June 11, 2006, the public will be able to peek for the first time into the private military service files of 150 famous people. They are just the most prominent of nearly 1.2 million records that the National Archives and Records Administration will open at its facility in St. Louis. It's the first of several public releases expected between now and 2067. Most of these files contain the records of Navy and Marine Corps enlisted troops who served between 1885 and 1939. The files are stored at the federal National personnel Records Center outside St. Louis, the largest National Archives facility outside the Washington, D.C. area. Until now, the files were off-limits for privacy reasons. Only the veterans themselves, their immediate family and those with special permission could view them. Just how sensitive such files can be was made clear this week by a report in The Boston Globe on newly released Navy records of Sen. John Kerry, D. Mass. Kerry refused to release the full file during the 2004 presidential campaign, but ifhe had, the documents would have revealed that Kerry received four D's in his freshman year at Yale University and had a virtually identical grade point average to his younger classmate, George W. Bush. Most military records are less controversial. They are used to determine government benefits and pensions. The files being opened to the public contain tens of millions of pages that include enlistment papers, training records, award citations, performance ratings and written correspondence. . The paper records, some of them brittle and crumbling, are among 56 million military personnel files stored at the Archives' massive warehouse in St. Louis. They belong to the Pentagon, which had planned to destroy the older files until the Archives began talks in 1999 to take over custody �and preserve them. Military records archivist William Siebert says similar records from the IS th century and the Civil War are among the most sought after and actively used documents in the Archives. "Logic would tell you that similar records from the 20th century would be similarly valued by the American people," he says. Under an agreement with the Pentagon, personnel files can be released to the Archives 62 years after a service member leaves the military. Record of ''persons of exceptional prominence can be released 10 years after death. Among other files being made public are those of boxer Joe Louis; baseball great Hank Greenberg; actors Henry Fonda, Humphrey Bogart and Steve McQueen; former presidents Franklin Roosevelt and John Kennedy; and military legends Douglas MacArthur and World War I Medal of Honor recipient Alvin York. For the most part, Saturday's release includes enlisted sailors and Marines. Officer files from the Navy and Marines will be released starting in 2036. The first general release of Armh and Air Force service records won't happen unti12022. But baby boomers or their offspring hoping to get hold of their parents' or grandparents' records rna be disappointed. A fire in 1973 destroyed 29 million Army records, including most from World War II. Even so, says government archivist Gregory Pomicter, the surviving records are "a gold mine for historians and genealogists. 2 WAYS TO SEE THE RECORDS The National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis will formally open the records of 1.2 million military service members at a ceremony ~aturday (June 11,2006). How can I view these records? >In person. In the research room at the center. Appointments are recommended because space is limited and some brittle records may require treatment to be handled.

The BLM-ES General Land Office Records Automation Team is nearing the completion of scanning and indexing nearly 1.25 million post-1908Iand-ownership records (patents) mairitained at the BLM Eastern State Office in Springfield, VA. As of March 15, less than 140,000 of these serialized patents remain to be scanned and indexed. This phase is scheduled for completion in December, 2005. These land records include serialized patents issued for all of the public land states, including the West. The first phase, completed several years ago, involved scanning and indexing of more than 2 million eastern states' land records, primarily cash and homestead patents. This second phase consists of automating federal land grant records from July 1, 1908, when the General Land Office centralized the issuance of patents out of their Washington Office, until the early 1970s ' when this authority reverted to the various BLM state offices. These serialized patents also include a sizable number of resurveyed areas of the West, creating a noticeable increase in the complexity of the records handled by staffers. For example, a patent that may have covered a single 640-acre section of land (with a single land description on the document) might now be shown as consisting of 16 lots, each containing about 40 acres (creating 16 land descriptions to be indexed and verified). The remaining documents to be processed by 2010 include about 150,000 cash and homestead patents, about 65,000 "credit patents", dating back to 1788, and some 100,000 patents, covering the period from mid-1907 through July 1, 1908, when the various local land offices stopped . "ssuing their own patents. Also remaining are more than a half million military bounty warrants ifrom the 1800s and other miscellaneous records.

You can go to the Brigham Young University website http:L/lib.b,),u.edul and do searches of over 5000 books which the FaIT History Library has put online . ... the LOS Family History Library has announced that It has begun the process of digitizing and making available on the Intemet all of the Family History books In their collection. These are primarily books In the "929.273 Series" that are cun housed on the first floor of the Family History Library (previously housed on the fourth floor of the Joseph Smith Memorli Building). At the present time (September 2005), about 5000 books have been digitized and are available, and they haVE announced that they are adding about 100 titles a week to the on-line collection. Copyright issues are playing a role in determining the order in which they progress through this task; books out of copyr are being done first. As these Family History books are digitized and placed on-line, an entry is being placed In the Family History Library on-I catalog with a hyperilnk to the digitized Image. By going to the FHL On-Line Catalog, you can search for a specific name, a book that has been Indexed using the name, and view it on-line, flipping through the pages as separate "pdf' Images, the same as If you were on the first floor of the Family History Library. Of course, the Indexing that Is available through t FHL catalog Is only as good as the human Indexers made It; typically they only Include the "top" 4 to 6 names that appei each book In their Indexing efforts. But there Is even better news! The digitized Images of these Family History books are actually being stored on the electronic servers at Brigham Young University in Provo, utah. By going directly to the BYU web site to view the Images, there are several additional posslbilitie that provide genealogists functionality that they have never had before. You are now able to do full-text searches on each book, and 0 every digitized book In the collection. Now you can locate the small two- paragraph entry on Grandpa Ebnezer McGarrah t burled In one of the Family History books that you would have otherwise never thought to look at before. this can open huge new possibility for extending lines, getting past brick walls, and uncovering new relatives! How to Find The Digitized Images? Go to the web site of the Harold B. Lee Library at BYU at httR.Jjlib.b')'u.edu and_on their home page, follow the links "Find Other Materials/ElectroniC/On Line Collections at BYU". Qick on the "Text Collections" tab and select the "Family History Archive" from the list of collections that are displayed. You would then nOI want to use the "Search All" feature with the "Search Full Text" box checked, although the "Advanced Search" will-allow very t--- -- --powered searches that will allow certain phrases to be searched for and other words to be used to exclude potential hits. you make selections from the "hits" that are displayed, you will need to use the "Click Here to View Item" button near the top of the screen to display the actual image of the page. You can page through the entire document using the index displayed on the left side of the screen. Each page may be printed after being vieWed. One Interesting sidelight Is, when you are at the first web page for the Family History Archive (the page that lets you begh search), click on the "Browse the Collection" button. This will display every Family History book that has been digitized al available In the collection. You can scroll through this list much the same as if you were walking up and down the stacks at the library.

Sellards, were returned to Lawrence from Los Angeles and laid to rest in Oak Hill cemetery this morning. Barbara Miller Sellards was born in Sciotoville, Ohio, April 25, 1858. She was married to Dr. A.B. Sellards in 1876. They moved to Lawrence in 1896 to educate their children. Barbara Sellards is survided by eight children and eight grandchildren, five of whom reside on the Pacific coast; two on the Atlantic coast; and Mr. and Mrs. J.R. Pearson have made their home with her in Lawrence for the past few years. The children include Elizabeth, Mrs. Gertrude Pearson, Myrtle, Mrs. May Young of Clarkdale, Ariz., Bertha of Washington, D.C., Archie of Los Angeles, Carl of San Francisco, and Ted of Buffalo, N.Y. Her many friends were grieved to learn of her sudden passing, but with the sorrow is the sense that her community was blessed in having such a modest and kindly woman. The Rev. W.D. Vincent of Baldwin officiated for the burial services at Oak Hill cemetery. He was a former pastor forty years ago, who received her and Dr. Sellards into the Methodist Episcopal church from the Methodist church in Kentucky. Mrs. Sellards had gone to Los Angeles with her daughter, Mrs. J.R. Pearson, January 6. She was stricken with pneumonia two days after reaching there and passed away January 15, 1931. Funeral services were held in Los Angeles, Calif., Jan. 17, 1931. ~/7 �AN OBITUARY FROM THE LECOMPTON SUN 2 JULY 1931 T.E. Moore was born January 17, 1846, near Quincy, Lewis County, Kentucky. At the age often years he went with his parents to northwestern lllinois. When thirteen years of age he was taken by his father's uncle aboard a mail packet running on the Ohio river between Cincinnati and Portsmouth, Ohio. When the Civil War was declared he intered the service of the Federal army as a drummer. At the close of the civil war he again entered the water service, but at the request and wish of his mother did not remain but a short time. After quitting the lifr on water he entered the railroad service where he spent the most of his mature life as conductor and engineer. He was for many years employed on the Atchson Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, rendering them good, faithful service. On December 12, 1876, he was married to Sarah E. Spurgon at Lawrence. To this union there were no children born, yet until recent years on account of Mrs. Moore's health, their home ever was the home of children, especially Mrs. Moore's sister's children. He was raised to the sublime degree of a Master Mason, June 6, 1881, at Ottawa, where he sill is a member of good standing. Naturally he was a close observer, always quick to see whwere he . might lend some assistance in time of need. He put strong stress to the principles taught in Free Masonry, endeavoring to live a life similar to the life of Christ, feeling that in so doing he was living the life of a Christian and the world wold be better by his living in it. This instrument was written by T. E. Moore. It is my wish and request, regardless of where I may die that the Masonic order have charge of my funeral. Lawrence Lodge No.9 conducted the service at the grave. 28 April 1923, Saturday. Probably the Lecompton Sun The body of Mrs Theodore Moore who died in Neosho, MO will arrive tonight.

Built of stone and brick construction in 1872, the church originally had a steeple and belfry as shown below. Age and weather weakened the front portion, including the entrance and roof. This portion was rebuilt with omission of the steeple and belfry. Members of the church under the German-Methodist Episcopal Denomination will sttll remember the pealing of the bell calling them to worship. The building is still in use, by another denomination. _ A reprint of a picture of the church as it appeared after completion, as taken from the Souvenir of the West German Conference Book, published in 1906, p 84. �FOREWORD The absence of records of. the German Methodist Episcopal Church of Lawrence, as such, precludes a complete accounting of membership, board of trustees, meetings, baptismal records and other pertinent matter. Therefore this is an incomplete account, some areas being covered more fully than others, depending on th~ material found. The search for records was prompted by a genealogical interest. Four generations of the compiler's family were represented among its members, and extending from the early years of the Church. to the time of its abandonment. It was the absence of records and the fact that some information was located in Conference books written in the Ger- man language, thus of no avail to many, that inspired the writing of this compilation. There are probably sources of information not yet touched by this compiler. Should this book come into the hands of any who have access to additional information pertinent to the Church, she will be glad to include it in an addendum to this compilation. E. V. H. i �ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The writer wishes to take this opportunity to express her appreciation to the me,ny people who have contributed of their time and energy- in the furtherance of this compilation. She is especially indebted to her husband whose assistance by his photography, editing, helpful council and patience has been a constant source of inspiration. The cooperative manner in which employees of libraries, especially those of the Kansas State Historical Library, the Douglas County Courthouse offices of the Register of Deeds and Probate Court, as well as the cooperation of former members of the Church, has helped to bring this account to a satisfactory completion. He are indebted to the members of the Old Friends Club for the use of the minutes of the Club, to Lydia Schaake and Alma Hoyer for their translations from the Souvenir, German Methodist Episcopal. Conference Book; the splendid assistance of Hilda and Edna Koehler, and the Reverend Nelson A. L. Weller for his contributions of genealogical material. To these and all others who assisted, we are deeply grateful. E. V.

(1.) It is probably correct to assume the German speaking pioneers met for religious !Jurposes in this same manner. The Germans who organized as the German Methodist Episcopal denomination he~d meetings in one of the buildings purchased by them in 1862 at an earlier time than the purchase d.ate. (2) Themajori.ty of protestant Gernians l'Tere raised lmder the Lutheran faith in their ~'lother Country. There seems no reason for many of them changing to Methodism after coming to the United States, except that this was one of the earliest churches to become well organized in the more eastern states and who early sent trained workers into the more western states and territor, ies to assist in the organization of mission churches. Each mission church was located in a 'church district' and the pastor of this church was expected to perform all of the ministrial duties within his district. The most commonly used mode of travel by the winister was by horseback or with horse and buggy. The minister ,was known as a circuit rider. In all Idnds of· weathe,r he traveled to perform his ministrial duties, often giving religious services during the week in,order to reach all of the peop~e. In the first years after the establishment of the Church, the services were conducted entirely in the German language. Few German immigrants were familiar with the ~nglish language when they came to this Country, and many continued to use this language in their home. There came a time when some in the congregation, namely children of the immigrants, and those Germans who adapted without difficulty to the English language, desired the services to be ,conducted in the .l£nglish language. Therefore the pastors, began to use both languages in the service. The method in which this was done was left to the discretion of the pastor in charge. One method remembered is the sermon being delivered in German, followed by the same sermon given in the Znglish tongue in sermonette form. The scripture was quoted in both languages. ------------~- The language barrier was a ~dde-spread problem. Th,e American Bible Society publi.shed the Bible in all languages. Also, one was printed with parallel colums so the r~rman parents could read one column printed in the German language while their children could read the same truths from the other column,~rinted in English. The Reverend H. D. Fisher of the English Methodist denomination was accompanied in some of his travels spreading the Gospel by a German minister named l".d.ller, who uould rape at the Reverend Fisher's sermons to the throngs in the German tongue.(3.) Thus, and in many other ways, the laneuage barrier was broken. In later years the pastor of the Ge~man Methodist Episcopal Church of La.1IJI'cnce , delivered the service entirely in the English language. The ministers, all having a German background, werc able to converse with members of the Church '\'!ho desired it, in the German language. After this change, some ~eop~o began to refer to the Church as the Sdcond Methodist ~lJiscopal. The tlJIle ~s thought to have been about 1915. The name 1'!as never ofically changed. . �2 Although unique in language useage, in other ways the Church was probably quite similar to other churches of its time. Sunday School, now referred to as Church School, was usually held at 9:30 A.M. followed by Church Services at 10:30 and-7 ~. M. Prayer meetings were held Wednesday evenings. . Sunday School classes were held in the one large room of which, with the exception of entrance hall, the Church consisted. The Classes were separated only by space and an occasional folding screen. The number of classes conducted in the German tongue was dependent on the need. The . main social event of the Church was the annual family picriic, usually held in a grove near town or in one of the City parks. The Church furnished lemonade and the members brought covered dishes. Following the meal there were games for the children, then a watermelon feed. Each Christmas Eve a program was held. There was ahrays a large decorated tree with the traditional star on the uppermost branch. Christmas carols were sung by all,' and the children participated l~th recitations and songs. The evening was climaxed by the appearance of Santa Claus with a bag of candy and nuts for each child. There seems no better ~rey to narrate the formation of the Church and its progress than the account found in the Souvenir of the West German Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, edited according to the directive of Lhe Conf'erence by otto E. Kreige, Gustav Becker, Mattaus Herman and C. L. Korner; printed by Jennings and Graham, CincinnattiOhio 1906 pp 83-85. It appears below: Lawrence. Kansas This work field in 1858 was known as the Lecomptori Missionj under the direction of the West Conference. In 1859 the name was changed to Lawrence Mission. Members .were six in the field- the sisters Noll, Merkle and Holzapfel (man and ~dfe), with certificates from Berea, Ohio. Since 1893 Lawrence was by itself •. Before, it was connected with other places: Leroy,Howane and. Tecumseh until 1861; with Franklin and Baldwin City until 1875. The lack of Germans and death of members made the necessity of giving up the work in these places. Topeka, 1880-81. Eudora and Captains Creek, 1892-93 were connected with Lawrence. The present brick and stone structure on the corner of New York and Berkley Streets ""as built in 1872 at a cost of $2500 •. Ten years Defore,' an . . old wooden building and the German Turnhall (4.) was bought for $280.00 [sic]* and used for a church. (see * next page) . . I In 1896 the property at 1045 New Jersey was bought for the preacher's home for $1000. The great inundation of thG Ka11T River Flood in 1903 caused the whole community to suffer great loss. Large numbers of members were farmers in the flooded area. The outstanding fear and repeated loss caused many to move away. . Lawrence isa pretty city with 13,000 population •.

From 1907 to 1915 membership varied from sixty-five to seventy; in 1917 there were seventyfive members. (6.) Younger people in the families of members and non communicants more than doubled the amount of people in the congregation. * From the Douglas County Register of Deeds Warranty Book Vol. G p 49; 31 Dec. 1862 the German M.

D.ii:NNI3 The Reverend L. B. Dennis, one of the trustees in 1862, ~JaB born in Ohio. (1) He was one of the trained workers 'V,ho came to Lawrence probably in 1854, as an ladvance guard" for the organization of the l-iethodist KansasNebraska Conference. Others 'Villo came with Reverend Dennis were Abraham Still, ·v~. H. Goode, J. ,j. Griffing and B. F. BO'lt.man. These men were sent for the purpose of spreading the Gospel, in particular to organize goups of people in the Methodist faith. The first Methodist service in Lawrence was held by the llevorend W. H. Goode in 1854. In 1855 a class 1.vas organized by: the Reverend J. 3. Griffing, but ",ras not strong anoughto sustain itself. In July of the .same year a more permanent organization was .perfected by the Reverend Dennis. (2) The meetings to organize the Methodist Kansas-Nebraska Conference were held on 23rd to 25th October, 1856, under the leadership of Bishop Osman C. Baker. Preparations for the meeting included the erection of a large tent. The location seems to have been in or near what is now South Park in Lawrence. The object of the Conference was to direct the sending of church workers into Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado and New Mexico including the Indian Territory.(3) The Reverend Dennis is presumed to have joined in this work in other locations after he assisted in the organization of the German Methodist Episcopal Church in La'V~ence in the capacity of ~linistrial trustee. AUGUST BRO~LSICK August Bromelsick, trustee in 1862, was born 1 January 1803 in Berzholzhasen, Prussia Germany. He was married to Franziska Charlotte Voss born 9 February 1809 in Hoersen, Prussia, Germany. In 1$11 their address was "East side of New Hampshire between Warren and Berkley" (between 'Vmat is nov,r Ninth and Tenth Streets). Franziska died 12 September 1890. August died 21 December 1895. They are buried in Oak Hill Cemetery in Lawrence. Their tombstone is inscribed in the German scribe. Anna Brom~ melsick (Bromelsick), wife of the Reverend Johann Adam Muller, is believed to have been a daughter of Augusta and Franziska. They 1>lere also parents of a son, 'r~illiam, and grandparents to 'Walter and Alfred, sons of \villiam and his wife Louise. William was proprietor of a lien I s Clothing store and Hattery in 1896, in 1917 he was President of the Peoples state Bank. The family had also engaged in farming, and supervising extensive investments in stock and other securi ties. The home of '~dlliam and Louise was at 923 Rhode Island 3treet •. _: Alfred, the last living heir, gave a set of chimes to the First M. E. Church (now First United MethOdist) of Lawrence in memory of his Mother after her death in 1946. He died in 1950., further memorializing the family name by leaving a revolving trust fund of well over ~lOO,OOO for use by the Girl and Boy 3couts of La\'lrence and the Douglas County 4-H Clubs. This family may have removed their membership from the German M. ~. Church before, it was abandoned.(4) 7 �JOHN P. ~lII..UR '8 JOHN P.

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.

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!"

No place in the broad Union has had so conspicuous a history in the progress of slavery emancipation and the cvents of the war as Lawrence. the eOllnty scat of Douglas county. In enrly dill'S it was by generulconscnt called the" City of Free· dom," and was really. tluring the slll"cry agitation of 1854-5-6, the only place in the territory where it was safe to speak against the institution of sla,·ery. Its thrill. ing blstory of suffering. prcccdlDg and during the war. has give;' it the significant appellation of the" Historic City." The town was originally settled by a colony from New England. under the auspices of the New England Emigraut Aid Society, with a few from other States who fell in by tbe way. This party len Massachusetts July 17, 1854, and arrived and camped on· the site of the present State University, coming witb ox teams pur· chased in Missouri, about noon on Tuesday, August 1,1854. In two weeks aner, n second party, numbering some sixty or seventy, under the supervision of Dr. Charles Robinson and S. C. Pomeroy, arrived. These were aoon followed by a third and fourth party, which matcrinllyangmented the numbers of the colony.

TIllS s.ettlement "Was made agninst the threats of Pro.S·la""Ij· men in all directions thnt these anti.slavery men should be driven {rom the count~y. The first rallying of forces from Lawrence was on tIle night ot September SO, 1854, for the protection of Rev. Thomas J.

On the 1st of October the tent of a Frcc·Slate man was toru down-the Instrument se· lected belDg a woman.

Early in Octob~r, 1854; Andrew II. Reeder, the first governor of Knnsas, arrived, had a reception, a festival, and n speech of welcome by Hon. S. C. Pomeroy, and made a conciliatory speech, evading the slavery question. nod recommending the cultivation of harmony and order. The first winter WIIS ono of great hardship, the people mostly living in sod houses and shanties made of clap-boards. At the first election-an election for delegates to Congress only-November 8,1854, there Was great excitement, and a man by the name of Davis attacked a pro-sla,.cry man, named Kibhee with a bowie-knife, with execrations and oaths, threatening to .. cut his abolition heart out," when Kibbee shot Davis. This was the first homicide in Kansas, and occurred about two miles south of Lawrence. Kibbee was arrested, held in prison at Fort Leavenworth for a short time, bailed out, but ne"-er tried.

This WIIS the first free school In Kansas, and Was the commencement of free schOOls. The winter of 1854-.~ Was passed with no dangerous Violence, but on the 80th of lIIarch, 1855, about 700 armed men from Missouri voted at the election for members of the Legislature; but, o"ing to the overwhelming numbers of the pro.slavery men, none of them were chailenged, and the enemy, who camped on the town Site, departed for Missouri the next mom. ing. Silas Bond was shot at and driven from the polls because he was regarded as an obnoxious Free.State man. The first Fourth of July celebration in Lawrence was largely attended, and was defiantly Anti.Slavery, Gov. Charles Robinson delivering the address and John Speer presenting the toasts. In the summer, Col. James H. Lane and others made a futile effort to organize the National Democratic party, but the meeting resulted in a can of the Free-State citizens for a convention at Lawrence early in August, and that meeting provided for the historic Big Springs Convention, held September II, 1855. In June, 1855, a meeting was held in Lawrence, John Speer presiding, at which resolutions were adopted to resist any laws which might be passed by the Legislature, and declaring that that body WIIS elected by armed Usurpers from Missouri. This Was really the commencement of the war in Kansas. Charles W. Dow, a peaceable, unoffending :F'ree.State man, was murdered near BaMwin City, November 21, 1855, by Franklin N. Coleman, nnd \he rescue oC Jacob Branson by a band of FreeStste men from Sheriff Jones, with a posse of about an equal number, followed. This brought on wbat has become historic as the Wakarusa war. Twelve hundred Pro-Slavery men, prinCipally from lIIissouri, besieged Lawrence. and about six hun_ dred Free-State nlen, under the command of Gov. Charles Robinson as Commander_ in-Chief, and James H. Lane as Brigadier-General, defended the place. Five forts of earthwork or rifle pits, were erected, and a vigorous defense prepared for. Finally a kind of treaty of peace was patched up, and the Pro.Slavery men returned to :&Iissouri. During the scige Thomas W. Barber, a peaceable F~tate man, was murdered. A State Convention to nominate a candidate for Governor under the Topeka Constitution, was held in Lnwrence·on the22d of December, 1855; Ilt which Charles Robinson received the nomination. The first Territorial Legislature passed a law inflicting the penalty of death for enticing away or in nny manner aiding a fugitive slave, and imprisonment oC not less than two years for writing, printing or publishing" noy denial of tho., right of persons to hold sla,·es in this Territory," and fixing tbe 15th day of September, 11!55, Cor the taking effect of the Jaw. 011 that day there was published III the KalWl.

Thnt night, ,!hile sitting in his tent, Jones "'asshot. and dangerousl y wounded. The act was denounced by Ii publ ic meetmg of Free-State. men. but a perfect reign of terror followed, and La~nee WIIS again threatened wilh destruction. On the 21st of Mny, Jones, partly recovered from his wound, entered the town with a body of UnIted Slates troops, and a large number of Pro-Slaverymilitia. principally from MIssouri. and destroyed the Ji'ree-StatIJ and Herald of Freedom prmting offices, the Free-Stute hotel, Gov. Robinson's dwelling on ]I[ollnt Oread,. and pIllaged. and robbCd stores and private nouses. About the same time, Messrs. Hoyt, Stewart and Jones, Free.Stnte men, 'were murdered, and Cbarles Robinson,. John Brown. Jr., G. W. Smith, H. H. Williams, G. W. Deitzler, G. W. Brown, and. Gaius Jenkins, were imprisoned in tents ncar Lecompton, gnarded by United States. St,ldlers, having been arrested on a chnrge of treason. About the last of September 2,700 Pro-Slavery men appeared in SIght of Lawrence, and the town was tempora... rily defended by Free-Stute men, under the command of :Maj. J. B. Abbott •. until Gov. Geary, who had just arm-ed ia the territory, interposed for their protection with United States troops. A Pro-Slavery fort at Hickory Point, thirty' lUiles north of Lawrence, was enptured by a body oC Free-Stute men, two of the. enemy killed, and the night Coli owing one hundred and one of the Free-Stute men. were arrested on charges of murder and treason, by United States troops, and con .. fined in prison at Lecompton. Gov. Geary, for his attempts to protect Lawrence and the Free.Stute men, had his, life threatened, and wasactunlly compelled 10 arm these prisoners for his own defense,. und finally left the territory. The Free·St:tle men from this time grew in strength,. anti in 1857 a Convention was held at 'Lawrenee which determined to participate in.' the election under the .. bogns laws." Frouds were perpetrated at Oxford, on the, Stute hne, by which it was hoped to cheat the district, of which Lawrence was a part, . out of the election of three members of the TerritorIal Council, and seven members. of the House. A party ";"ent from Lawrence to hang the judges of election at that place, and a. rene"'alof scenes of violence became imminent. The returns of the Oxford elec. tion.were rejected hy the returning bo:trd, composed of Gov. 1Valker and Secretary' Stanton, and an extra session of the Legislature called to devise measures for the tak .. ing of a fSlr vote On the Lecompton Conslitution. This constitution was formed at. u.'COmpton, and was ingeniously fram~<l for the purpose of establishing slavery in the proposed State of Kansas, without submitting that question to a vote oC the peo .. pIe, and was a cause of the renewal of the slavery excitement.. Lecompton was tben t~e heudquarters of the Pro-Slavery men, and with every obtainable vehicle, about. eIght hundred armed men, with Gen. JIlmes H. Lane at their head, escorted the trio umphant Frec-State Legislature from Lawrence to Lecompton. Thenceforward the Free-Stute men were in power in the Territory, and the Territorial Legislatures oC' 1858, '59 and '50 adjourned from Lecompton and held their sessions in Lawrence. . The First and Second Kansas Regiments, and other troops for the war, were organ. lZed at Lawrence. The city grew ~pidly during the firstyenrs of that war. August, 21, 1863. tbe lUost terrible massacre of the war occurred at Lawrence. At ~he dawn of day, WID. C. QUllntrill, a notorious bushwhacker and guerrilla, dashed Into the town, meeting many of the unarmed citizens in their night clothes. ThB town was pillaged and burned, 160 citizens were murdered, leaving 80 widows and 250 orphans, and property amounting 10 about 12,000,000 dcstroy~-d. Two solid 105 FIRST BIENNIAL REPORT. 1,locks of buildings on Massachusetts stfl"Ct, nnd nearly every good dwelling in the -city, were burned.

Page lof2 ANJ~!comtJ!J IltAidlt'J'Thtl No. 1 Source for Family HIstory Online . . Ancestry Daily News • Paula Stuart Warren, CGRS - 4/28/2005 We Should Thank Them Too! I do have to admit to having grumbled a time or two about a librarian or a clerk in the courthouse. I may have gritted my teeth about an archivist or other staff person somewhere I have researched. Most times I don't have such reactions after a research visit. I recently had one of those proverbial "light bulbs" switch on in my brain. In genealogy, "we" have sometimes given some of these folks a bad rap. Of course,l advocate sending a thank you note when you have had a pleasant research experience. But there are other facets of their work that also deserve our thanks. Advance Preparation Sometimes our disappointment with the person behind the desk or counter is actually our owr:' doing. We can solve that ourselves. Did you just show up at a library or archive without being prepared? Did you check to see if there was a website with information on that repository? Did you not call ahead to check the hours of the probate office? Did you check to see whether there is an online catalog of that place's holdings so that you even know if the records you seek are actually at.that place? Sharing Knowledge For many years I was in charge of the exchange publications for my state genealogical society. Many genealogical societies exchange their monthly or quarterly publications with other societies. This affords members of a society access to many publications. Of course, I delighted in being able to skim through a large stack of publications every couple of weeks. I noted that in many localities the meetings, classes, and seminars had sessions presented by area librarians, staff from courthouses, and archives staff members. They were sharing their knowledge with area genealogists. Some are done on their regular job time and the institution is paying for their time or giving them compensatory "time off" from work. Major Commitments In the United States alone in the last ten years there has been an impressive list of personnel from major repositories who have given extended service and time to our genealogical organizations. Immediately what comes to mind are volunteer positions such as officers and board members of state and national level genealogical societies or chairpersons and program chairs of major state, regional, and national genealogical conferences. Yet others have served on committees that also require a time commitment. The repositories know that this service serves as a positive public face for their institution. Among the many such places whose staff have given their time to serve the genealogy field are the Allen County Public Library (Fort Wayne, Ind.), Arizona State Library, Daughters of the American Revolution Library, Denver (Colo.) Puqlic Library, Family History Library, Minnesota Historical Society, U.S. National Archives, Newberry Library (Chicago, III.), New England Historic Genealogical Society, Wisconsin Hi~torical Society, and many other local and state research repositories. Joining and Donating Have you joined an organization, donated materials, or visited a repository after interaction with one of their employees via a genealogical society? When visiting or joining it would be helpful if you remarl(ed that you did so because you have become acquainted with that specific staff person and heard them talk about the wonderful research resources at the place where they ~ork. Writing Articles Many of these staff members also write articles for local and national genealogical publications. The vast majority of these are not for pay and some are written, with permission, on that repository's time. The writer �Ancestry.com - We Should Thank Them Too! Page 2 of2 shares genealogical knowledge and may write extensively about the research repository for which they work. These articles are another positive public face for that repository and also are a help to the editor. It's Not Just Time Many major repositories have given to genealogical organizations in monetary ways. Some do provide funds for their employee to travel to a distant conference or society board meeting. Some allow the staff person to use the repository copier or computer to handle some of the volunteer duties. Others actually add the volunteer service to the person's job description and realize it does take away time from that person's "regular" job duties but they realize the benefit of the service. The repository may do some special advertising for an event their staff member is associated with or may lend their mailing list for publicity purposes. Why do they do this? It goes a long way to bridging the gap between genealogists and the staff at the institution, it helps in preparing the genealogist to visit the repository, and it gives the repository a favorable public face among thousands of researchers. That Positive Publicity Every time one of these wonderful persons serves in one or more of the positions mentioned above, the institution or society for which they work gets extensive publicity. Their biographies (or presentation introductions when they lecture) usually mention the name ofthe repository. Every time they serve as volunteers, we genealogists benefit from their time and expertise. I have enjoyed serving on boards and committees with such persons and having the opportunity to ask a question or two about research in their state or at the place where they work. Thank these facilities for sharing their staff people with our genealogical-organizations. Thank the individuals, too. Join those organizations that have memberships and purchase their publications. I can immediately name two memberships I have mainly due to being impressed by an organizational representative I met via a genealogical board or committee. Donate to genealogical publications that you compile to their libraries. Keep them in mind when considering monetary donations. Their time and expertise is vital to family historians. Paula Stuart-Warren, CGRS, is a professional genealogist, consultant, writer, and lecturer. She has lectured all across the U.S. and coordinates the Intermediate Course, American Records and Research at the annual Salt Lake Institute of Genealogy. She is co-author of Your Guide to the Family History Ubrary and an author for genealogical periodicals including Ancestry Magazine. She is a resident of St. Paul, Minnesota, and spends many weeks each year at the Family History Library and the U.S. National Archives. Her roots include ancestors from seven different countries and researching them has given her broad experience and an occasional headache or two. Comments will reach her at PSWResearch@comcast.net.

Early 10 Octob~r, 18M, Andrew n. Reeder, the tlrst governor of Kansas, arrived, had a reception, a festival, and a speech of welcome by lIon. S. C. Pomeroy, and made a conciliatory speech, evading tbe slavery question, and recommcnding the cultivation of hannony and ortler. The first winter was ono of grellt barnship, the people mostly living In sod houses and shanties made of clap-boards. At the first election-no election for delegatcs to Congress only-November 8,1854, there was great excitement, and 0 man by tbe name of Davis' attacked a pro-sla"cry man, named Kibbee with a bowie-knife, with execrations and oaths, threatening to "cut his abolition hean out," w,hen Kibbee shot Davis. This was the first homicide in KBDBIIB, and occurred about two miles south of La"'renee, Kibbee was arrested, held In prison at Fon LeB\"enworth for a short time, bailed out, but never tried. On tho 10th of January. 18M, a scbool "'as established. Edward Fitch, teacber, supponed by voluntary contributions, and free to all. This was the first free school In Kansas, and was the commencement of free 'schools. The winter of 1S.5f-.~ was passed 'with no dangerous violence, but on the 80th of :March, 18M, about 700 armed men from Missouri voted at the election for members of the Legislature; but, o"ing to the overwhelming numbers of the p~lavl'ry men, none of them were chaileuged, and the enemy, who camped on the town slle, departed for Missouri the next mom· ,fng. Silas Bond was shot at and driven from the polls because he was regarded as an obnoxious Free..8tate man. ' The first Fourth of July celebration In Lawrence was largely attended, and was defiantly Antl.Slavery. Gov. Charles Robinson deliveriug the address and John Speer presenting the toasts. In the summer, Col. James H. Lane and others made a futile effon to organize the National Democratic party, but the meeting ~ulted in a call of the Free·State citizens for a convention at Lawrence early In August, and that meeting provided for the historic Big Springs Convention, held September Ii. 1855. iii June, 18M. a meeting was beld In Lawrence, John Speer presiding, at which resolutions were adopted to resist any laws which might be passed, by the Legisl.. ture. and declaring that that body was elected by armed usurpers from ![issourl. Thla was really the commencement of the war In Kansas. Charles W. Dow, a peaceable, unoffendlng :Frec-State man, was murdered near Bal<1wln City, November 21. 18M. b1 Franklin N. Coleman, and \he rescue of Jacob Branson by a band of FreeState men from Sherifi' Joncs, with a posse or about an equal number, followed. This brought on what has becomo historic as the Wakarusa war. Twelve hundred Pro.Slavery men, principally from Missouri, besieged Lawrence, and about six hun. dred Free.Staie nlen, under tho command of Gov. Charles Robinson as Commander. In.Chlef, and James H. Lane as Brigadier.General. defended the place. Five forts of earthwork or rifle pits, were erected, and a vigorous defense prepared for. Finally a kind of treaty of peace was patched up, and the Pro-Slavery men returned to ![issourl. ,Durlog the scige Thomas W. Barber, a peaceable Free.State man, was murdered. A State cOnvention to nominate a candidate for Governor under the Topeka Constitution, was held In Lawrence on the 22d of December, l~!i; at which Charles Robinson received the nomination.

Soon afU:r Jonea appeared in the town with n cOlllpnny of United 8tates dragoons, and Ilrr~'Sted a. dozen prominent Jo'rce.stato men. That night, ~hlle sitting in his lent, Jones was shot-' and dangerously wounded. The act wns denounced by Ii public meetlDg of Free-State· men. but a perfect reign of terror followed, and La~nce wns Ilgain threatened with destruction. On the 21st of Mny, Jones, pllrtly recovered frOID bis wound, entered the town witb a body of United Sllltes troops, and a large number of Pro.Slavery militia, prineiplllly froID Mlssonri. and (lestroyetltbe Free-8t.n.u and Herald of F'ru. dom prInting offices, the Free.State botel, Gov. Roblosnn's dwellingonj,lollnt Oread. ~nd pillaged and robbed stores and private 1I0nses. About the same time, Messrs. Hoit, Stewart and Jones, Free-State men, were mnrderal, and Charles Robinson,. Jobn Brown. Jr., G. W. Smith, H. H. Williams, G. W. Deitzler, G. W. Brown, and. Gains Jenkins, "'ere imprisoned in tents ncar Lecompton, guarded by United Staten. sullhers,. having been arrested on a ehnrgc of treason. About the last of September' 2,700 P~lavery men appeared in sIght oC Lawrence, and the town was telDpora.· rl1y. defended by Free..State men, under .the command of Maj. J. D. Abbott •. until Gov. Geary, who had just arm'ed in the territory, Interposed for their protection witb United States troops. A Pi'oSlaver'y fort at Hickory Point, thirty' tulles north of La\vrence, was citptured by a body of :Free-State men, two oC the' enemy killed, and the night following one hundred and one of the Free-State men were arrested on ebarges of murder and treason, by United States troops, and con· lined in prison at LecoDlpton. Gov. Geary, for bis attempts to protect Lawrence and the Free.State men, 'had his, liCe tbreatened, and wasactulllly compelled to arm these prisoners for his own defense,. nnd IInally left the territory. The Free·St:lle men from this time grew in strength, and in 1857 a. Conventionwas helll at Lawrence which determined to participate in.' tbe election under the to bogns laws." Fmuda were perpetmted at Oxford, on the, State hne, by "'hlch it was hoped to eheat.the district, of which Lawrence was a part, out oC tbe election oC three .members of the TerritorIal Council, and seven members. of the 1I0use. A pafty went from Lawrence to hang the Judges oC election at that place, and a. renewal of scenes of violence becilme imminent. The returns of tbe Oxford elee. tion ,,'ere rejected by the returning board, composed of Gov. Walker and Secretary Stant.)n, and an extra session oC the Legislature called to devise measurea for tbe tak-· ing oC a flllr vote on the Lecompton Constitution. This constitution was formed at. u-compton, and was ingeniously fmmed for the purpose of establishing slavery in the proposed State of Kansas, without submitting that question to a vote of the peo· Ille, and was a cause of the renewal of the slavery excitement. Lecompton was tben t~e headquarters of tbe Pro-Slavery men, and. with every obtainable vehicle, about. eight hundred armL'<\ men, with Gen. J"IUes H. Lane at their head, escorted the triumphant Frec-State Legislature from Lawrence to Lecompton. Thenceforward the Free-State Iilen were In power in the Territory, and the Territorial Legislatures of 1858, '59 and '60 adjourned from Lecompton and held their scssions in Lawrence. Tbe First and Sec~nd Kansas Regiments, and other troops for t1ie war, were organized at Lawrence. The city grew ~pidly during the drilt years oC that war. August. 21, 1863. the most terrible mnSsllCre of the war occurred at Lawrence. At ~be dawn of day, '~m. 6. QUllotrlll, a notorious bushwhacker and guerrilla, dashed luto the town, meetlDg many of the unnrmed citizens In their nig4t cloLlIC8.

Two solid blocks of buildings on IIlnssllChusells stn'ct, nnd nearly every good dwelling in the -city, were burned.

I do have to admit to ha,ving grumbled a time or two about a librarian or a clerk in the courthouse. I may have gritted my teeth about an archivist or other staff person somewhere I have researched. Most times I don't have such reactions after a research visit. I recently had one of those proverbial "light bulbs" switch on in my brairf. I n genealogy, "we" have sometimes given some of these folks a bad rap. Of course, I advocate sending a thank you note when you have had a pleasant research experience. But there are other facets of their work that also deserve our thanks. . Advance Preparation Sometimes our disappointment with the person behind the desk or counter is actually our own doing. We can solve that ourselves. Did you just show up at a library or archive without being prepared? Did you check to see if there was a website with information on that repository? Did you not ·call ahead to c.heck the hours of the probate office? Did you check to see whether there is an online catalog of that place's holdings so that you even know if the records you seek are actually at that place? Sharing Knowledge For many years I was in charge of the exchange publications for my state genealogical society. Many genealogical societies exchange their monthly or quarterly publications with other societies. This affords members of a society access to rpany pubHcations. Of course, I delighted in being able to skim through a large stack of publications every couple of weeks. I noted that in many localities the meetings, classes, and seminars had sessions presented by area librarians, staff from courthouses, and archives staff members. They were sharing their knowledge with area genealogists. Some are done on their regular job time and the institution is paying for their time or giving them compensatory "time off' from work. Major Commitments In the United States alone in the last ten years there has been an impressive list of personnel from major repositories who have given extended service and time to our genealogical organizations. Immediately what comes to mind are volunteer positions such as officers and board members of state and national level genealogical societies or chairpersons and program chairS of major state, regional, a!1d national genealogical conferen~es. Yet others have served on committees that also require a time commitment. The repositories know that this service serves as a positive public face for their institution. Among the many such places whose staff have given their time to serve the genealogy field are the Allen County Public Ubrary (Fort Wayne, Ind.), Arizona State Ubrary, Daughters of the American Revolution Ubrary, Denver (Colo.) Pu~lic Ubrary, Family History Ubrary, Minnesota Historical Society, U.S. National Archives, . Newberry Ubrary (Chicago, III.), New England Historic Genealogical Society, Wisconsin Hi~orical'Society, .and many other local and state research repositories.' . Joining and Donating Have you joined an organization, donated materials, or visited a repository after interaction with one of their employees via a genealogical society? When visiting or joining it would be helpful if you remarked that you did so because you have become acquainted with that specific staff person and heard them talk about the wonderful research resources at the place where they "York. . Writing Articles Many of these -staff members also write articles for local and national genealogical publications. The vast majority ofthese·are not for pay and some are written, with permission, on that repository's time. The writer �Ancestry.com - We Should Thank Them Too! shares genealogical knowledge and may write extensively about the research repository for which they work. These articles are another positive public face for that repository and also are a help to the editor. It's Not Just Time __ Many major repositories have given to genealogical organizations in monetary ways. Some do provide funds for their employee to travel to a distant conference or society board meeting. Some allow the staff person to use the repository copier or computer to handle some of the volunteer duties. Others actually add the volunteer service to the person's job description and realize it does take away time from that person's "regular" job duties but they realize the benefit of the service. The repository may do some special advertising for an event their staff member is associated with or may lend their mailing list for publicity purposes. Why do they do this? It goes a long way to bridging the gap between genealogists and the staff at the institution, it helps in preparing the genealogist to visit the repository, and it gives the repository a'favorable public face among thousands of researchers. That Positive Publicity Every time one ofthese wonderful ,persons serves in one or more ofthe pOSitions mentioned above, the institution or SOCiety for which they work gets extensive publicity. Their biographies (or presentation introductions when they lecture) usually mention the name of the repository. Every time they serve as volunteers, we genealogists benefit from their time and expertise. I have enjoyed serving on boards and committees with such persons and having the opportunity to ask a question or two about research in their . . state or at the place where they work. Thank these facilities for sharing their staff people with our genealogical organizations. Thank the individuals, too. Join those organizations that have memberships and purchase their publications. I can immediately name two memberships I have mainly due to being impressed by an organizational representative I met via a genealogical board or committee. Donate to genealogical publications that you compile to their libraries. Keep them in mind when considering monetary donations. Their time and , expertise is vital to family historians. Paula Stuart-Warren, CGRS, is a professional genealogist, consultant, writer, and lecturer. She has lectured all across the U.S. and coordinates the Intermediate Course, American Records and Research at the annual Salt Lake I nstitute of Genealogy. She is co-author of Your Guide to the Family History Ubrary and an author for genealogical periodicals including Ancestry Magazine. She is a resident of St. Paul, / Minnesota, and spends many weeks each year at the Family History Library and the U.S. National . Archives. Her roots include ancestors from seven different countries and researching them has given her broad experience and an occasional headache or two. Comments will reach her at PSWResearch@comcast.net. Paula is unable to answer individual genealogical research inquiries due to the volume of requests received. . Copyright 2005, MyFamily.com.

Early in Octob:lr, 1854, Andrew II. needer, the first governor of Kansas, arrived, ,had a reccption, a festival, and a speech of welcome by Hon. S. C. Pomcroy, and made a conciliatory speech, evading tile slavery question, nnd recommeoding the cultivation of harmony' and order. The first "'Inter WIIS one of great hardsbip, tbe people mostly living In sod houses, and sbanties made of clap-boards. At thc first election-no,election for delegates to Congress only-November' 8, It154, tbere W88 great excitement, and' D-man by, tbe name of Davis attacked a pro-sla"cry man, Damed Kibbee with a bowie-knife, with execrations and oatbs, threatening to "cut his abolition beart out," when Kibbe8 sbot Davis. Tbls was the first bomicide"in Kansas, and occurred about two miles south of Lawrence, Kibbee was arrested, held In prison at Fort'Lea\'coworth for a short time, bailed out,but ne\'er tried. On the 10th of January, 1855, a &chool was established, Edward Flteb, teacher, supported by voluntary contributions, and free to all. This was the first free scbool In Kansas, and was the commimcement of free scbools. The winter of 1854-.') was passed with no dangerous violence, but on the 80tb of 1IIarcb, 18511, about 700 armed meD from Missouri voted at the election for member.! of the Legislature; but, o"'ing to the overwbelming Dumbers of the pro-slavery men, Done of them were chailengcd, and the eDemy, who camped on the town site, departed for Missouri the next mom· ing. Silas Bond was shot at and driven from the polls because he was regarded as an obnoxious Free-8tate man. ' The first Fourth of July celebration in Lawrence was largely attended, and was defiantiy btl.Slavery, Gov. Charles RobiDson de\i\'ering the address and John , Speer presenting the toasts. In the summer, Col. James H. Lane and otberS made a futile effort to organize tbe N aUonal Democratic party, but the meeting resulted in a call of the Free-State citizens for a convention at Lawrence eariy in August, and tbat meeting provided for the historic Big SpriDgs Convention, held September Ii, 1855. In June, 1855, a meeting W88 held in Lawrence, John Speer presiding, at "'blch resolutions were adopted to resist any laws wblcb mlgbt be passed by the Legislatore, and declaring that that body was elected by armed usurpers from )lissourl. Thla was really the commencement of the war io Kansas. Cbarles W. Dow, a peaceable, unoffendlng :Free-8tate man, was murdered near Baldwin City, November 21, 18511, by Franklin N. Coleman, and ~he rescue br Jacob Branson by a band of FreeState men from Sberiff Jones, with a posse of about an equal number, followed. ' This brougbt on what has become historic as the Wakarusa war. Twelve hundred .Pro-Slavery lI!en, principally from llissourl, besieged Lawrence, and about six hundred Free-State men, under tho command of Gov. Charles nobinson as Commanderin-Chief, and James H. Lane as Brigadier-General, dcfended the place. Five forts of earthwork or rifte pits, were erected, and a vigorous defense prepared for. Finally a kind of treaty of peace was patched uP. and the Pro-Slavery men returned to )[jssouri. During the seige Thomas W. Barber, a peaceable Free-8tate mao, "-as murdered. A State Convention to nominate a candidate for Governor under the Topeka Coostliution, was hcld In Lawrence 00 tbe 22d of December, 18511; Ilt which Charles RobiDson received the Domination. The first Territerial Legislature passed a law Inflicting tbo penalty of destb for enticing away or in any manner aiding a fugitive slave, and imprisonment of not less tban two years for writing, printing or publishing" noy denial of tho- right of perSODS to hold slaves In this Territory," and fixing tbe 15tb day of September, 111M, for tho taking effect of the law. 011 that day tbere was publisbed ID tbo Kama.

Soon after Jones appcan.'<1 in the town with n cOlllpany of United 8tates drllg<lOns, and arr~'Sted a. dozen prominent ~'rce-State men. Thnt nio-ht, while sitting in his tent Jones was shot. . and dangerously wounded. The act was d~non~ccd bya public mcetl~g of Free-State· men. but a perfect reign of terror followed, and La~ncc wns again threatened with destruction. On Ule 21st of May, Jones, partly recovered frOID his wound, entered the town with a bOdy of UDlted Slales troops, and a large number of Pro-Slavery militia, principally froID MIBSOuri. and destroyed thc P,.ee-StnU and HdTald of F,.eedo ... printing ollIces, the Free.Statc Ilotel, Gov.

Oaius Jenkins. wcre imprisoned in tents near Lecompton, goardetl by United States. sol(lIel'8, having been arrested on a chnrge of treason. About the last of September 2,700 PrGSlavery men appeared in sight of Lawrence, and the town was tempora..· rUy. defended by Free.State men, under the cnmmand of 1Ilaj. J. B. Abbott,. unUl ~ov. Oeary! ~ho had just arm'cd in the territory, interposed for their protection wllh UDlted States troops. A Pro-Slavery fort at Hickory Point, thirty· JUlies north of Lawrence, was captured by a body of :Free-State men, t,,·o of the· enemy killed, and the night following one hundred and one of the Free.State men: were ar'rested on charges of murder and treason, by United States troops, and con· . fined in prison at Lecompton. Gov. Geary, for his attempts to protect Lawrence and the Frce.State men, had his, . life threatened, and was actually compelle<l to arm these prisoncrs for his defense,. aOlI ~nally left the temtory. Tbe Free-St:lIe men from this tiine grew in strength, and 10 1857 tL Convention was bcld a.t Lawrence which determined to participate In.· tho election under the .. bogus laws.;' Frouds were perpetrated at Oxford, on the, State hne, by whIch it was boped to cheat the district, of which Lawrence was a part, out of the election of three members of the Territorial Council, and seven members. of the 1I0use. A party went from Lawrence to hang the judges of election at that place, and a. reuewal of sccncs of violence became immincnt. The returns of the Oxford elec. tiou "'cre rejected by the returning bonrd, composed of 00". Walker and Secretary Stanton, and an extra session of the Legislature called tl) devise lDeasures for the tak. iug of a fRlr voto on the Lecompton. Constitution. This constitution was formed at. u-compton, and WI\S ingeniously frame\l for the purpose of cS\:llllishing slavery in the proposed State of Kansa.s, without sUllmitting tbat question to a vote of the poo. pie, and wasa cause of the renewal of the slavery excitement. Lecompton wa.s thcn the headquarters of the Pro.Slavery men, and with every obtaiuable vehicle, about. cight hundred armL,<l men, with Gcn. Jamcs H. Lane at their head, escorted the trio umphant Frcc-StRte Legislature from Lawrence to Lecompton. Thenceforward the ··Free-State men were In power In the Tcrritory, and tho Territorial Legislatures of 1858, '59 and '50 adjourned from Lecompton and held their aessions in Lawrence. The First and Second Kansas Regiments, and other troops for the war, were org~. Izcd at Lawrence. The city grew ~pidly during the first years of that war. August, 21, 1863. the moot terrible maSsacre of the war occurred at Lawrence. At ~he dawn of day, ,":m: C.

J'Tt/B A-MhJRr.!CDme I~" No. 1 Source for Family History Online d. Ancestry Daily News V Paula Stuart Warren, CGRS - 4/28/2005 We Should Thank Them Too! I do have to admit to having grumbled a time or two about a librarian or a clerk in the courthouse. I may have gritted my teeth about an archivist or other staff person somewhere I have researched. Most times I don't have such reactions after a research visit. I recently had one of those proverbial "light bulbs" switch on in my brain. In genealogy, "we" have sometimes given some of these folks a bad rap. Of course, I advocate sending a thank you note when you have had a pleasant research experience. But there are other facets of their work that also deserve our thanks. Advance Preparation Sometimes our disappointment with the person behind the desk or counter is actually our own doing. We can solve that ourselves. Did you just show up at a library or archive without being prepared? Did you check to see if there was a website with information on that repository? Did you not call ahead to check the hours ofthe probate office? Did you check to see whether there is an online catalog ofthat place~s holdings so that you even know if the records you seek are actually at that place? . Sharing Knowledge For many years I was in charge of the exchange publications for my state genealogical society. Many . genealogical societies exchange their monthly or quarterly publications with other societies. This affords members of a society access to many publications. Of course, I delighted in being able to skim through a large stack of publications every couple of weeks. I noted that in many localities the meetings, classes, and seminars had sessions presented by area librarians, staff from courthouses, and archives staff members. They were sharing their knowledge with area genealogists. Some are done on their regular job time and the institution is paying for their time or giving them compensatory "time off" from work. Major Commitments In the United States alone in the last ten years there has been an impressive list of perSonnel from major repositories who have given extended service and time to our genealogical organizations. Immediately what comes to mind are volunteer positions such as officers and board memberS of state and national level genealogical societies or chairpersons and program chairs of major state, regional, and national genealogical conferences. Yet others have served on committees that also require a time commitment. . The repositories know that this service serves as a positive public face for their institution. Among the many such places whose staff have given their time to serve the genealogy field are the Allen County Public . Library (Fort Wayne, Ind.), Arizona State Ubrary, Daughters of the American Revolution Ubrary, Denver (Colo.) Public Library, Family History Library, Minnesota Historical SOciety, U.S. National Archives, Newberry L.ibrary(Chicago, III.), New England HistoricGenealogical Society, Wisconsin Historical SOciety, and many other local and state research repositories. JOining and Donating Have you joined an organization, donated materials, or visited a repository after interaction with one of their employees via a genealogical society? When Visiting or joining it would be helpful if you remarked that you did so because you have become acquainted with that specific staff person and heard them talk about the wonderful research resources at the place where they Y{ork. Writing Articles Many of these staff members also write articles for local and national genealogical publications. The vast majority of these are not for pay and some are written, with permission, on that repository's time. The writer �Ancestry.com - We Should Thank Them Too! shares genealogical knowledge and may write extensively about the research repository for which they· work. These articles are another positive public face for that repository and also are a help to the editor. It's Not Just Time Many major repositories have given to genealogical organizations in monetary ways. Some do provide funds for their employee to travel to a distant conference or society board meeting. Some allow the staff person to use the repository copier or computer to. handle some of the volunteer duties. Others actually add the volunteer service to the person's job description and realize it does take away time from that person's "regular" job duties but they realize the benefit of the service. The repository may do some special advertising for an event their staff member is associated with or may lend their mailing list for publicity purposes. Why do they do this? It goes a long way to bridging the gap between genealogists and the staff at the institution, it helps in preparing the genealogist to visit the repository, and it gives the repository a favorable public face among thousands of researchers. . That Positive Publicity . Every time one of these wonderful persons serves in one or more of the positions mentioned above, the institution or society for which they work gets extensive publicity. Their biographies (or presentation introductions when they lecture) usually mention the name of the repository. Every time they serve as volunteers, we genealogists benefit from their time and expertise. I have enjoyed serving on boards and committees with such persons and having the opportunity to ask a question or two about research in their state or at the place where they work. Thank these facilities for sharing their staff people with our genealogical organizations. Thank the individuals, too. Join those organizations that have memberships and purchase their publications. I can immediately name two member:ships I have mainly due to being impressed by an organizational representative I met via a genealogical board or committee. Donate to genealogical publications that you compile to their libraries. Keep them in mind when conSidering monetary donations. Their time and expertise is vital to family historians.

The DCGS will continue to have �monthly programs. No decision was reached yet about whether to plan a major workshop with a national speaker. 6. Members discussed the status of Douglas County, Kansas Family Histories 1991-1992, Volume 1 It was decided that after keeping enough copies to fulfill requests that come by mail or through the Web site, the DCGS would work to distribute these volumes to interested parties at no charge except for mailing costs. a. Several members are storing these books for the DCGS. Because Paul Jordan is moving and needed to dispose of five boxes immediately, the following members volunteered to take boxes right away: Richard Wellman: five boxes to distribute to interested Jefferson County Genealogical Society and Jefferson County Historical Society members Martha Harris: one box to distribute to interested Eudora Area Historical Society members Shari Mohr: one box to help out b. Erma Worley agreed to address cards to genealogical societies to help in finding homes for the volumes. If no one has a better list for her to use, she will use a genealogical handbook for society addresses. Actions Taken After the Meeting Mary Burchill has contacted Bruce Flanders at the library to let him know that both the DCGS and the DAR are ready to talk to the library about what is involved in giving their books to the Library. Thanks to Shari Mohr for doing considerable research in preparation for the meeting. Richard Wellman has arranged for the Baldwin City Library to get a complete set of back copies of The Pioneer. The Eudora Historical Society and the Eudora Public Library will also receive a complete set each. Richard is working on a subject index for back copies of the Pioneer. This is a subject index, not a names index. Shari Mohr may be compiling this. �At the regular meeting of the Society on 12 March 2005 the proposal of giving our books to the Lawrence Public Library was discussed. The following motion was moved, seconded and voted on. It was passed. Richard Wellman put forth the motion as follows: I move that the Douglas County Genealogical Society empower the negotiating team (or oversight team?) to be given the authority to give the Society's books to the Lawrence Public Library if the negotiating team is satisfied that the negotiations have resulted in a satisfactory agreement. We will proceed from there and report in die ~ext Pioneer. ------ -- ---- Connections Lawrence Public Library Events, Information, and Services August 2004 ~ ----~--- -- ;---------:.:~--~ --~--~ Newsy Nuggets from the Nineteenth Century By Louise Hanson, Adult Services Coordinator \ I. ,j With all the informational wonders available on the Internet's worldwide web, we are tempted to assume that no other sources of information are needed. Not true, of course. Where on the Internet would you find news of George Martin, who took off for Missouri "where he ... put in his time 'foolin' with [aJ buzz saw"'? It must have been a slow news day in Perry when a reporter felt compelled to tell readers of the plight of Frank Schell, "a poor lone widdy." (My guess is that forlorn Frank is a widower.) These items are from the June 11 . 1885 issue of The Lecompton Monitor. ' c All these tidbits of information and much more are now available in our new microfilm collection of 19th and early 20 th century Douglas County newspapers. The collection -:. _~_ of.historical regional _ n_ewspapers, comprising i 1 -------- - ,- -- 38 microfilm reels, is a joint gift of the Friends of Lawrence Public Library, the Douglas County Genealogical Society, and the Lawrence Journal-World. You can access this collection in the microfilm section of the Helen Osma Room on the lower level of the library. A microfilm reader/printer is available for your use and of course, our Reference staff is always on duty to help you. Included in this collection are the Baldwin Criterion (1883), the Lecompton Union (1856) and the Grasshopper and New Era out of Grasshopper Falls (now Valley Falls) (1874). Of particular interest to many local history buffs are the Lane University newspapers College Echoes (1888) and College Q,racle (1892). Students, genealogists and!! local historians will find much of value in this l:Jtterly fascinating collection. The Library is grateful to the donors of this collection and extends a hearty invitation to all to explore this new additign to our holdings. .~ �KANSAS STATE GAZA TTEER BUSINESS DIRECTORY, 1894 & Volume VlII, by R.

An index to this collection is kept on top of the vertical files themselves.

Individuals will need to have a library card number to access these databases remotely. Heritage Quest Genealogy Database This database provides a broad range of sources useful in discovering personal histories: • Pro Quest's Genealogy & Local History - more than 25,000 complete books, with material from every state and Canada • U.S. Federal Census, 1790-1930 - complete census information, with the ability to search by name, place of birth, age, ethnicity and other variables • PERSI (Periodical Source Index) - a subject index of more than 6,500 periodicals written since 1800, with the ability to search more than 1.6 million articles by surname, location, title and keyword • Revolutionary War Pension and Bounty Land Warrant Application Files (coming soon) detailed records of more than 80,000 people who served in the revolution with genealogical and historical information • Freedman's Bank Records (coming soon) - records from the primary bank used by freed slaves from 1865 to 1874, with information about more than 70,000 depositors and almost 480,000 dependants and heirs • Additional information from a number of data sources is coming soon - ship passenger lists, military history, city directories, vital records, and international genealogical records Historical New York Times This database offers full-text and full-image articles for The New York Times dating back to the 19th century. The collection includes digital reproductions of every page from every issue cover to cover - in downloadable .pdf files. This newspaper database represents the first initiative �to not only reach back into the past to digitize historical newspaper information but also to provide that information as both full-page-images and as article images. That means researchers can use the database to find not only news, editorials, letters to the editor, obituaries, and birth and marriage announcements but also historical photos, stock photos, and advertisements. The date range searching tool allows searches on, before, or between two dates. Digitizing The New York Times involved scanning, digitizing, zoning, and editing over 3,400,000 pages from microfilm into digital files. The database covers The New York Times from its first issue in 1851 all the way to 2001 - a span of issues currently not covered by any other electronic resource. Other newspapers The library's electronic databases feature access to many other newspapers available online. For example, InfoTrac Custom Newspapers database enables online access to more than 150 newspapers. The scope of time coverage varies, however, and not all have archives available.

AIfII~lcomt& 1- Souroe for FamilyHismryOnJlne 4-.TheFa~ilY History Compass - W Juliana Smith - 2/7/2005 - Researching in Unfamiliar Territory It all-started-with a call from a family-friend who- had a question- about Family Tree Maker. Fromtherethe conversation turned to an ancestress she had been trying to locate. The family hailed from Georgia and had moved through several other southern states. I volunteered-to-dosorne preliminary poking around to. see what I could find. (Yes, my obsession has reached the point where I'll hunt for just about anyone's . ancestors!) Starting a new research project is an exciting challenge and learning experience. It's like trying out a new recipe in someone else's kitchen. You're not sure where everything is kept, what tools are available or how it will turn out, but it's fun to try it. Today, I thoug ht we'd take a look at some of the things we-should consider when embarking on a research project in unfamiliar territory. . Get to Know- Their Surroundings This- would-be-my first-research expedition- in-Georgia, and I knew- relatively little about- Georgia- history. Elizabeth Butcher was said to have been born in the "Cherokee Purchase," 21 March 1829. So what-was the Cherokee Purchase? My first stepwas to-Googleit so-that I would have a rough ide~ofwherel.was looking. My first search for Cherokee Purchase gave me a slew of hits, mainly for Jeep Cherokees and property for sale-in Cherokee County. I got-more specific and searched. for: "Cherokee Purchase" Georgia -jeep The quotes told the search engine that Cherokee Purchase-was an- exact- phrase that I wanted; Georgia narrowed it down further and "-jeep" eliminated any hits with the word "jeep" in it. I found several sites that told me that the-Cherokee Purchase covered-land from the-Chattahoochee River westto:Alabama, and north to Tennessee and North Carolina. I found a historical map of Georgia in the Perry Castefieda Library's online map collection at www.lib.utexas.edu/mapslhistoricallgeorgia- 1895.jpg. Although it was for a later period than what I was searching, it showed the Chattahoochee River and the counties as they were in 1895. Using Red-Book (published-by-Ancestry); 1- could find out the-dates the counties were formed and the parent counties for those that were formed later. Red Book would also be useful later in determining what records were available and-when-civil-registration began in-each county. It would also give me information as to any research peculiarities for Georgia. Has It Been Done? Now- that 1- was a little more familiar with the geographical-area in which-I-would be looking, my next step was to see if anyone had done work on this family. I found a tree that included an Elizabeth Butler in' Ancestry.com's OneWorldTree (www.ancestry.comltrees). Although it listed her birth date as 21 March 1828, the fact that it was exactly one year off to the day, and that her birthplace was listed as Georgia, was enough to make me think she might be-the right person. Thefather's-name was listed as-Henry P. Butcher and there were two spouses listed-Martha Wilkins, whose death date was listed as 22 May 1826, and, Elizabeth Wilkins, whose first child was the Elizabeth I wasJooking at as-a possible match. There were six ~hildren listed with the first wife and fourteen by the second. Wow! That's quite a family. There was also an entry that said "Five- Children Butcher." I also noted that one of the children was listed under both mothers. OneWorldTree pulls the records from the Ancestry World Tree and stitches possible matches together. The information found there-is a compilation of what isJound in the various databases submitted by users and is only as good as the underlying research. While there were these two obvious �problems with the entry, there were also a whole lot of clues that I could follow-up on-eighteen of them in the form of siblings. Timeline Next, I went to my favorite tool for organizingcand-drew up a-timeline-based- on the treel had found; (Click here for more on creating timelines) , Since there were birth dates and places for the family, I started-with those-and began plugging them into a word processing document. Arranging the births as listed chronologically, I could see roughly where I would need to look to locate them in the census. The migration path they took matched what my fnend had told me, so I was even more encouraged that I had perhaps found the right family. Gathering and Organizing At this point I went on a searching spree at Ancestry.com. 1- found-census records for the father, Henry P. Butcher from 1830-1860 and entries in a number of other databases as well. The pile on my desk began mountin'g, and I decided it was time to step back and organize what I had located. I opened a new family file in Family Tree Maker and began entering the information I had at that point, noting the sources as well. Since I had already noted-discrepancies in some areas, I didn't-wantto have to keep going through the stack looking for where I had found a particular date. I chose Family Tree Maker because it comes with the ability to search all of the Ancestry.com-databases for all of the people I had entered into that family file. This was a timesaver when it came to searching for the siblings, and when I found records that matched the family, I was able to merge them into the file through the web merge tool. This made citing the sources a breeze. - More Creative Searches Recognizing that I'd also want to-do some more creative searches, particularly for years in which I wasn't able to locate the family, I also went directly to the databases in some cases. I went to the main search page at Ancestry.com (www.ancestry;comlsearchl)andselectedGeorgiaonthemap.This allowed me to see a list of the databases that were available for that state. I spied two databases of early Georgia marriages and tried-a-search for Butcher. I wasn't able to find Henry and either of his wives using the exact search and the Soundex option. To be thorough, I also checked under the bride's maiden name, and sure enough I found an entry for Elizabeth Wilkins and Henry Bucher. While it was a slight variation, it was enough to change the Soundex code from B326 to B260. Another search that I needed to be creative with was-a census search for Henry. The-online-tree-listed Henry's place of death as Ouachita Co., Arkansas in 1864. There is no Ouachita County in Arkansas; but there is Ouachita County. I searched the 1860 census for the surname- Butcher in Ouachita County in Arkansas and found Henry listed as H.P. Butcher. Another son was listed on the next page with only initials for his given and middle name as well; as were-other people-in that area; So if you are unable-to locate an individual with a given name, try an initial. Since most ofthe census indexes at Ancestry.com are everyname indexes, you- coul~ also try the name of another member of the household. Next Steps The next steps will be up_to my friend. Once-I get her the-information, she may wish to contact the person who submitted the tree online and exchange information. That person may have sources that we have not been able to access. She can also check the Family History Library Catalog (FHLC), as-well as libraries and archives that hold the original copies of the records. A quick check of the FHLG has already told me that the marriage records fo.r the c~unty where I found Henry an9 EIi,zabeth in-the index are available on microfilm at the Family History Library. The film can also be ordered through a Family History Center near her for a nominal fee. Research should also be done on siblings (and there are plenty of them!). Records available for Elizabeth's brothers and sisters may lead to more clues. �--- ........., ' /" J The cool part about this search was that all of it was done from home over the course of a few nights with resources that are available online: Now-my friend hasfollow-ups-that-will keep her busy for-quite·awhile. It has also whetted my appetite and made me anxious to dive into my own family history again. And now that my column for thisweek is done, that is exactly-what I plan· on doing!

Ancestry Daily News Michael John Neill - 2/2/2005 _.. Lessons I Learned at the Family History·Library Professional· responsibilities afforded· me the-opportunity. to research sporadically at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah, for three days this January. This week we will look at some suggestions for readers who are lucky enough to make a trek to a distant research fapility. Catalog Dates May Be Awry The online card catalog for. the Family History Library was a wonderful and a great tool in helping me plan for my trip. However, sometimes the catalog can be slightly incorrect. I encountered this on two occasions with two entirely separate sets. of records. The catalog entry' for some Catholic baptismal records indicated the time span covered was up to 1885. While looking at the records, the baptismal entries did only go through 1885. However, when I continued to view the materials, there was an index to entries that covered an additional fifteen years not noted in the card catalog. While the actual records for this later. time frame were not on the. microfilm, the index did.tell me that there were entries afterwards and in what years those entries were recorded. If I had stopped when the actual christening records ended, I would have missed additional information. A set of emigration papers from Ostfriesland, Germany, was also very high on my to-do list. With one-half of my ancestors. coming from. that area· between 1850 and 1883, I had high hopes for the records. The catalog entry indicated the information from the records started as early as the 1850s. There were references in-the emigration records to births as early as the 1840s. The emigration. records themselves-however actually dated from the mid-1880s, too late for my ancestors. Fortunately, my search list contained the names of aunts and uncles who had emigrated later, and I was able to find an entry for relative TjarkJanssen who emigrated in 1893. The record contained four pages of information on Tjark and his family. Be Organized Not only was my research time limited, it was spread out over three· days in two hours increments. Consequently, lengthy projects were not practical (at least not for me). As a result I compiled a list of lookups in records from five countries over a two-hundred-year·time·period; I would need to·be·organized. The lookups I needed were fairly specific. To make the best use of my time, I put each lookup in a file folder that included the following pieces of information: �- Call numbers for the source being used Reasons why I was using the record' Details that were needed to search the record Pedigree and family-group charts where appropriate As I prepared over a two-week time period, I kept thinking of new things to look for. As I added folders with new lookups, I wrote in pencil on the outside of each folder what information I needed to complete the lookup (names of parents, a date, a village, etc.) so that I had all the information I needed in the folder when I finally arrived at the library. As I prepared, I put the-folders in two stacks: one with folders that were "complete" and one with folders where I needed to get some facts or additional printouts from my database before I left. Before-I wentto the library, I visited thelibrary's-website to determine exactly what materialswereon what floor. I did not want to be running from one floor to another and did not want to drag all my lookup folders with me each time I went to the library. My lookups included-family histories, British records, German records, Swiss records, and United States records. I sorted the folders by the floor where the records would be located. There was no need to make unnecessary trips up and-down stairs! Use the Internet Wisely The Family History Library has numerous computer stations with Internet access as well as locations throughout the library where a laptop computer can be connected to the Internet. I used the Internet minimally at the library. There are miliionsofrecords-aUhe-library-1 can-use the Internet at home. However, it was very convenient to have the library card catalog accessible in so many locations and to be able to perform quick lookups in some online-sources if a discovery-warranted. There-were-times where a "hot" or unexpected find required me to perform some quick searches online to make better use of mylibrary time. - Read Directions The library has a relatively new machine that makes-digital copies from microfilm, and-I was anxious to try it out. Unfortunately in my haste, I did not read all the directions and failed to complete the "burn" of my CD. I thought I had saved my images on-theCDI purchased at the Family History Library, but I did not. However, since I kept precise track of what records were searched (and for whom I was searching), reproducing the searches was-relatively easy. Adequate preparation-makes library research easier and- facilitates the tracking of what work has been done. Is It in Storage? Not everything the Family-History Library has in its collection is located on site. The library has some materials in storage that must be retrieved. The online card catalog will indicate what materials are not housed atthe main library. Patrons can e-mail the libraryinadvanceoftheir visit and-have the materials ready when they arrive. These items in storage cannot be requested immediately just because I flew 1 ;000 miles and missed three connecting flightstoarrive-in-Salt lake-(oops ...thafs another story). If there had been any items I needed from storage, I should have made the request before I left on my trip. Decide How You Work Having led research trips and having prepared for numerous library- trips myself, I have- read more-about trip preparation than a person probably should. However, I tend to stick to research practices that work well for me-the way I am, and the way my mind works. This does-not mean thatlignore sound methodology or good genealogical practice. What it does mean is that I do not radically change the way I organize or plan my research. I constantly tweak how-I organize and plan, but do-not make- major changes.-My ancestors confuse me enough without using-a new process to confuse me even more. Since I do little of my initial analysis on a computer, I opted to not take-my laptop in the-library. For me, it was one more thing to drag around, and I was constantly afraid I was going to leave it somewhere and forget it. Sincelha~e to take handwritten notes, I make-copies whenever possible; I-decided since-my time was so short that If a record would not copy well (but was legible) that I would make a note to order the same .film frommy local branch library. Then I could transcribe-it when I could takecmytime and wouldnotfeelrushed. 77 �- - - --, Write Your Name on Your Hard Copy Card . , Copies and printouts can be made at the library at ~- nominal cost. Some-m~chmes take actual ~oney, but all will use a copy card which can be charged up with money at several stations thro~ghout the library. The card is more convenient than carrying change or running to get change~ The suggestion to put yo~r name on your card is one that should be heeded. I did not. Somew~ere in the library was a copy card with nearly ten dollars of unused copy money on it-without my- name on It. A Great Experience . . .

Th~No. 1 Soun:e fof Family HlslOry·Online Ancestry Daily News Maureen A. Taylor - 2/16/2005 Who Took This Picture? How many times have you looked at your unidentified-family pictures and wanted to know-when they were taken or who's depicted? Like many genealogists, I use the databases on Ancestry.com to search for family· information, but 1- have-a-secret. I collect unidentified photographs to use as examples in my writings and often need to know when a photographer was in business. A variety of the-Ancestry.comdatabases help-me,determine-that information. You too can use these databases to establish a tentative date range for your family photographs based on the material you collect on the- person who· took the- pictu reo Standard photo identification techniques include identifying the photographic method, examining costume· clues, using genealogical- material, and- investigating-a- photographer's imprints. An imprint is the printed or embossed information on the photographer that appears on an image. This includes partial or full names, street addresses and town· of operation, services,' and even patent clues. You can find imprints on the front or the back of a card photograph (a paper print mounted on cardboard). If an imprint mentions where a photographer had his-studio, I'll skip to the advanced search page of the Ancestry website to select databases for a specific state or a particular type of resource. Here are a few that I find helpful. Directories and Membership Lists One of the best ways to establish a time frame for a photographer is to search city directories for a span of years. Thankfully, a wide-range of these volumes has been digitized by Ancestry.com. Select the state, then the resource--"Directories and Membership Lists," as well as the specific one you want to consult. The search page then allows you to type in the surname or full name of a photographer along with a keyword like the specific term they- used to describe themselves such as daguerreotypist or the name of the street on which they were located. Business sections of the directories as well as the name listings are· scanned for matches. It's important to check several year's worth of directories because you are trying to verify exactly how long a photographer operated their studio at a. particular street address. For instance, you· may h~ve several pictures taken by a photographer, but each imprint has him on a different street. Finding that photographer at the exact address as the one on your picture provides you with a date range frame for the image. Directories are also useful for filling in missing information. If you have only a·surname for the photographer, a directory search provides their first name--information you can use in the' future. ' To effectively search for a photographer you need· the following : • A surname or company name • A locality Use directories to: �• Verify a photographer's dates of operation • Discover their full name • Find a business listing for their studio Census Records Since directory coverage isn't complete-for rural-areas and- not every directory- is accessible online, a series of census records for a photographer can act as a substitute source with some caveats. For instance, a census won't tell you the address of their studio because-you!1I find them listed within a household rather than at a business address; however, a census record will confirm their town of their residence. Hopefully this will- match the data on your photograph. There is another caution. In the early days of photography, many shop owners offered portraits to attract customers and extra rev~nue. When the census enumerator asked for their occupation, instead of "photographer" these individuals usually stated their full-time job. Family and Local Histories Since June 2004 researchers have been able to- search digitized versions of published genealogies and local histories using the Family and Local Histories Collection on Ancestry.com. If you subscribe, try searching for a photographer's name instead of Uncle Earl. You might be surprised at what you locate. Sure, you won't need the genealogy of the photographer's family (unless they are a relative), but you might discover a biographical sketch of that photographer that details when he had a studio. It's even possible that your ancestor's visit was more th~m a business transaction. A photographer might have emigrated- from the same area as your relative or belonged to the same social groups. Newspapers Not having any luck finding your photographer usingthe-above-resources? Try the- Historical Newspaper Collection for stories, advertisements, or an obituary. Photo identification is about adding up the facts. No one-piece-of information- dates a photograph. It's the accumulation of the details that provide a time frame for an image. Knowing when the photographer who took your grandfather's picture-was in business is just the first step. You'll still have to examine the clothing worn in the picture for a possible date and consult your genealogy to see if your identification is correct; You!JI probably need to research- clothing styles and ask relatives for family data to solve your photo mystery. ' Let's face- it. Not everything you-'ll need- is online, but it's a-good-start. Treating photographers like a relative might lead to your next big family history discovery.

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. Is was so good that the LibraI)' asked her to do it again under their sponsorship. The following pages were handouts.

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.

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. It was his work in Santa Fe with Kansas University's orchestra conductor Robert Baustian that led to the invitation to direct an opera production at KU The production has been designed by Herbert Camburn of the KU staff Leading roles in the cast of nearly fifty students are: Ron Highley, Kansas City Mo., senior as H.A.W. 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,...

Cleaning Mother's House Courtesy of Michael John Neill. This is a warning to all of us. The author ofthe article, which appeared on ancestry. com (see credits below), graciously consented to allow me to use this on the KYRESEARCH list and in Traces, vol. 1, no. 1, and I am very grateful! Michael John Neill has done us all a great favor. -Mary Burchill It has been nearly a year since fictional genealogist Barbara passed away. Her daughter Charlene reflects upon that year in a letter to her friend Karen. Charlene truly has been busy. Barbara is probably rolJing over in her grave. "Karen: As usual, my cards are late. It has been a busy year. We spent much of the year settling up Mother's estate. The house sold well, but cleaning it took longer than we expected. You are probably the· only person who did not know Mother was a genealogy buff. She told practically every human she encountered. I 'm convinced that genealogy "nut" was the most 32 �accurate phrase. The stuff was all over the house. The inheritance would have been enough to pay for my new Mercedes had she not insisted on spending money on that blasted hobby. I don't know why she couldn't be more like Tom's mother. Nadine spends her day doing needlepoint and watching reruns of 50s television shows. Tom just does not realize how lucky he is, but men never do. My mother had to run off to cemeteries and courthouses. She even went to a conference in Davenport, Iowa, last year! Can you imagine? Davenport, Iowa! After she got back, she was so excited about all that she had learned and all the fun she had. She was planning on going to another one in California this year. Wel1 the grim reaper took care of that. Because of my promotion to head of knick knack sales at Garbageforless.com, I. had not been home for several years. I was appal1ed to learn that Mother had converted myoid bedroom into her family history "headquarters." My shelves of Teen Beat and other magazines documenting my adolescence had been replaced with old family photographs, copies of old documents, and something called family group sheets. She even got rid of the pants I wore to my first junior high dance. I cried at the thought. I could not bear to go in the room and be reminded that my childhood had been stripped from me and replaced with an obsession with the past. I told the children that if they would clean the room and prepare the items for the garage (should I say "garbage"?) sale they could have the proceeds. I learned what true entrepreneurs they are. Kenny stripped Mother's hard drive in under ten minutes. I kept hearing him say "GedCom is GedGone . .. GedCom is GedGone .... " I have no idea what it meant, but the computer fetched a good price. Before he unplugged the computer, he erased Mom's floppy disks and downloaded public domain games. He sold these at a nominal price. Susan took the old photographs to a flea market and was able to sel1 many of them. Some speciallabe1s had to be taken off and we had to take them out of protective envelopes. Mother had written the names on the back of many of them. At least none of those pictures of depressing old dead people had our last name written on them. I don't want to be associated with such sour people. Mother had some type of old plat book-whatever that is. Kenny tore out the pages individual1y and sold them separately on EBay. It was so clever. His dad said he got much more than ifhe had left the book in one piece. Susan didn't tear the bibles apart, though. I thought that showed tremendously good sense. She's learning that not everything can be marketed in the same way. The 1790 bible brought her a good penny, but she couldn't get the one from 1900 to bring more than fifty cents. She donated it to a local church, and here is where I am so proud of her. We can write ifoffas a charitable deduction. Someone had written what they had paid for the bible on the back cover. Susan converted that to 2001 dollars and will use that for our tax deduction amount. I've already' enrolled Susan in tax lawyer summer camp this coming August. There was some old large certificate of written on heavy paper. The silly thing wasn't even in English, so why would Mother keep it? Kenny used the other side to keep track of the things he had sold. Waste not, want not. When we were finished we put the paper in the recycling bin. The kids put an old wedding dress from the 1870s in the washer to get the stains out. It was terribly filthy. The worthless thing didn't even survive the extra long cycle and the half-gallon of bleach. It's doubtful we can even use it for cleaning rags. The dress was in some kind of old trunk. I'm not certain what it was for, but it had a name stenciled on the front in huge letters along with the name of a town. Susan gave it a good coating of red paint and sold it as a toy box. ·33 , �The filing cabinets were emptied of their contents, as were the three shelves of binders. Kenny got the bright idea to shred the paper and sell it in bags as New Year's confetti. The file folders were too heavy to shred. The baby did not react well to any of this. She cried and fussed almost the entire time. Kenny thought she wanted tea, which made no sense to me at all. As she cried, it sounded like she was saying "family tee." She can't even talk yet and I think Kenny was hearing things. The baby does look exactly like my mother though, it's the oddest thing. The fussing didn't stop until she spit up an entire bottle of strained prunes on my junior high jeans, which we did find in the basement. They were it was the one real loss. Now my past has really been taken from me-magazines and all.

My family tree is a few branches short! All help appreciated. My ancestors must be in the witness protection program. Shake your family tree and watch the nuts fall. My hobby is genealogy, I raise dust bunnies as pets. How can one ancestor cause so much TROUBLE! I looked into my family tree and found out I was a sap... not stuck, I'm ancestrally challenged. I'm searching for myself, have you seen me? If only people came with pull-down menus and on-line help. Isn't genealogy fun? The answer to one problem leads to two more. It's 2001 ... Do you know where your GGGrandparents are? A family reunion is an effective form of birth control. A family tree can wither if nobody tends its roots. A new cousin a day keeps the boredom away. After 30 days unclaimed ancestors can be adopted. Am I the only person up my tree ... sure seems like it. Any family tree produces some lemons, some nuts, and a few bad apples. Ever find an ancestor HANGING from the family tree? FLOOR: The place for storing your priceless genealogy records. Gene-Allergy: It's a contagious disease but I love it. Genealogists are time unravelers. Genealogy is like playing hide and seek: They hide ... I seek. Genealogy: Tracing yourself back to better people. "Crazy" is a relative term in my family. I'm More serious tips from the internet When my dad died, I was upset that the newspaper in the next town did not carry his obituary. Then I realized that, in fact, there was a long front-page article about my dad and his various accomplishments and elective positions. If you are checking newspapers yourself, don't just look at the obituary page, particularly if the person you seek was at all wekk nown in the local area. The death may be classified under "news." -Kate Randall Reeves, Mountain Center, Calif When selecting page protectors or photo protector sheets, remember the three Pollys: polyester, polyethylene, and polypropanol. These are archival-safe materials. If the pack or your vendor can't verity the content of the materials, don't buy the product. �-Mary Clement Douglass, CGRS (former museum curator), Salina, Kansas When I used my scanner to get a picture from 'a book or thick item, it is hard to have the top put down, so when I have the book in the scanner and the edges sticking out, I throuw a large dark sweater or cloth over the whole thing so no light can get in. The writing and pictures turn out well. -Buirl Thomsen Think "outside the box" when searching for information about an ancestor. Searching the normal channels (websites, family papers, relatives, etc.) for information on my greatgrandfather James Robert Tumey produced some written and pictorial documentation but not much. Then, on a whim, I tried a web search for "Tumey Family Recipes" (even though I wasn't interested in cooking) and hit pay-dirt. The site was using a picture of my great-grandfather's homestead (ca. 1910) as a logo. Other information on the site was a childhood picture of a greataunt (ca. 1913) and a written reminiscence by a great-great aunt detailing her early recollections of her father. So, if normal research doesn't produce results, look for information buried within unlikely sources-you can never know what will show up. -Jerry Platz When visiting cemeteries and locating the lot number and grave, I ask the cemetery office for a copy of a map of the cemetery. I then find the location and highlight the route I took to get there, with an x at the target spot. I file this copy with the picture of the headstone of who is buried there. This way, in the future, it will be easy for relatives to locate the graves, and save time wandering around the graveyard. -Mark [no last name] Hilarious requests of librarians (sent by Don Vaughn) Do you have anything on the Looney family, because I am a Looney too. I am sorry we have not got complete families. The trouble is here is extracting the children from the minister. I am forwarding my marriage certificate and three children, one of which is a mistake, as you can see. The wife of Amos Smith could not be found. Someone suggested to me that she might have been stillborn. What do you think? Do you keep a record of branded cattle? I'm trying to find my grandfather. Please send me my genealogy back to Noah, and when will the Flood records be online? Do you have my grandmother in a microwave? [She meant to say microfilm.] Genealogy corner, by Paul Jordan [stolen from the Douglas County Historical Society Newsletter 29, no. 2, March/April 2003] Nearly all of our requests for family history information comes from the U.S., but we continue to get a few from other countries. The latest was an e-mail from Soren Barteldes, who wrote "Me and my family are living in Wetter, Germany and there just 4 families, which carry the name in Germany." This is pretty much the reverse of the usual procedure where we in the U.S. want to get information from the old countries. When searching the West Junior High School website http://history . lawrence . com the name Barteldes was found in seven of the articles, including the fo~di~g oTE~do~~-a;d-a"··­ picture of a Barteldes seed catalog from ] 887. 37 �A book of tombstone inscriptions in the museum enabled me to find nine obituaries, including that of Freiderich Barteldes in 1886, who had come to Douglas County in 1856. The obituary of Friedo Barteldes (1976) included the fact that his nephew, Ben, is a former mayor of Lawrence!

Probate files include all original documents filed in a case. In estate cases these can include copies of the inventory of the estate and the will of the deceased and details about the disposition of the estate. No adoption records are open to the public.

The Kansas Collection has the index to probate records from 1857-1965 and the accompanying case files if they are no longer active. In order to locate a case file in the indexes you need to know the name of the person and if possible the date the case was filed. The index for probate cases after 1965 is only available at the Douglas County Clerk's office. ,.\ In addition, the Kansas Collection has the journals of the probate court for Sept. 24, 1855-June 28,1974. These are a chronological record of the day-to-day proceedings of the probate court. Douglas County Civil and Criminal Court Records 3'1 �District Court Journals 1863-1974, are a record of all the proceedings in the district court each day that it met. It includes civil and ~iminal trials, grand jury proceedings, orders from the judge in vacation or in chambers, jury selection proceedings, petitions from lawyers and parties and all other in-court events and matters. District Court Criminal Trial Docket, 1864-1878 was used by the court clerk to place upcoming criminal cases upon the case calendar. Entries include: the names of parties, the names of attorneys, the docket number, the charge, judicial orders and final dispensation. It is indexed alphabetically from 1874-1878. It appears that this docket may not have been kept after 1878. District Court Criminal Appearance Dockets, 1863-1970, list all legal actions in the order they were filed in the court clerk's office. Information provided includes the date of summons and its return, petition and pleadings filed, judicial judgments and orders and a list of costs accrued during the action. The volumes include an alphabetical index by parties to the actions. District Court Criminal Judicial Dockets, 1874-1878, 1881-1927, 1932-1945, were kept by each judge as a record of cases they personally tried. Entries include case title, date of writ, date of case, party arrest record, property attached, facts stated, affidavits and bills of particular filed, appearing parties, adjoinments, jury selections and verdicts, witnesses sworn, judicial orders and executions, final jUdgment, monies paid at court and any continuances. Dockets were passed on to the next judge, and from the 1890s onward, when two justices served concurrently, the volumes overlap in chronology. There is an alphabetical index in the front of each volume. District Court Civil Trial Dockets, 1864-1868, 1874-1894, were used by the court clerk to place upcoming civil cases upon the case calendar. Entries include the names of parties, names of attorneys, the docket number, the type of dispute, judicial orders, the date of case and the final dispensation. These records are not indexed and it is not certain that they were kept after 1894. The last volume, labeled "Final Record" is blank. District Court Civil Appearance Dockets, 1863-1972, list all civil actions in the order they were filed in the court clerk's office. Entries include the date of summons and its return, petition and pleadings filed, judicial judgments and orders, and a listing of costs accrued during the action. Each volume is indexed in the front by parties involved, except 1901-1903, which has a separate index. A separate index to defendants was kept for 1863-1883. Business legal problems are one type of case covered by these indexes. District Court Civil Judicial Dockets. 1873-1928, 1931-1961, were kept by each judge recording all cases he personally tried. Entries include the case title, date of writ, date of case, property attached, facts stated, affidavits and bills of particular filed, appearing parties, adjoinments, jury selections and verdicts, witnesses sworn. judicial orders and executions. final judgment. monies paid at court and any continuances. Dockets were passed on to the next judge, and from the 1890s onward. when two justices served concurrently, the volumes overlap in chronology. There is an alphabetical index in the front of most volumes, though volumes 15 and 18 have separate indexes. The 1907-1912 volume has no index. The 1922-1925 volume (Judge R. C. Manley) is mistakenly labeled "Criminal docket, volume 9". Cases covered by these volumes include business legal problems, divorce and alimony, and assault and defamation. Douglas County Marriage Records The Kansas Collection has the indexes to marriage certificates from 1863-1920. The indexes for the years after 1920 are housed at the Lawrence Public Library. Marriages are indexed alphabetically by the husband's name and cross-indexed by the wife's name. The. Kansas Collection only has the marriage certificates for 1863-1913.

KS 66612-1290; phone: 785-296-1400; FAX: 785-296-8075. An index of !l'arriages in Dc:>uglas ~ounty for the years 1854-1884 was published in 1989 by the Douglas County. Kansas, Genealogical SOCiety, P.O. Box 3664, Lawrence, Kansas 66046-0664, and is available on reference at the Kansas Collection. Douglas County Treasurer's Office The Kansas Collection has the tax rolls for land in Douglas County and Lawrence. Kansas. for the years 18531967. The Lawrence volumes are arranged by subdivision, legal description, and address (later years) and the Douglas County volumes are arranged by the legal description of the property. The volumes show the name of 1-0 �.. . the owner and the person who paid the taxes year by year, the amount of taxes paid, and the assessed value of the land parcel. These can be very useful for someone attempting to determine what year a house was built because of the corresponding increase in the assessed value. Occasionally additional information about the property is also noted on the entry. Douglas County Appraiser's Office The Kansas Collection stores the property appraisal records for Douglas County for 1964-1988. These records are only accessible by the appraisal file number, which must be obtained from the Douglas County Clerk's office.

This widow had a grown-up daughter who had hair of red. My father fell in love with her, and soon the two were wed. This made my dad my son-in-law and changed my very life. My daughter was my mother, for she was my father's wife. To complicate the matters worse, although it brought me joy, I soon became the father of a bouncing baby boy. My little baby then became a brother-in-law to dad. And so became my uncle, though it made me very sad. For ifhe was my uncle, then that also made him brother To the widow's grown-up daughter who, of course, was my stepmother. Father's wife then had a son, who kept them on the run. And he became my grandson, for he was my daughter's son. My wife is now my mother's mother and it makes me blue. Because, although she is my wife, she is my grandma too. If my wife is my grandmother, then I am her grandchild. And every time I think of it, it simply drives me wild. For now I have become the strangest case you ever saw. As the husband of my grandmother, I am my own grandpa. [One respondent indicated that the above is from a Guy Lombardo record, with Kenny Gardner doing the vocal.] * '" * A modem mother was explaining to her little girl about pictures in the family photo album. The mother said "This is the geneticist with your surrogate mother and here's your sperm donor and your father's clone. This is me holding you when you were just a frozen embryo." "Who is that?" asked the daughter. "Oh," answered the mother, "the lady with the very troubled look on her face is your aunt. She's the family genealogist!" -Don Vaughn *** 4 �1880 Census on CD-ROM Recently the Society bought for my use as Genealogist the 1880 census on CD-ROM for the whole country. Since it belongs to the Society, I want to offer, through The Pioneer, to do lookups that members request for anywhere in the country at no charge. The request should include as much information as available such as location by state or region of the country, and names, ages (approximate is OK) and birth places (state or country). My address is 2820 Missouri St., Lawrence 66046, phone 785/842-4388, and e-mail jordpc@brownchair.net. -Paul Jordan 1930 Census As of this past April Fool's Day, the 1930 census has been available to the public, 72 years after its collection, according to the law. The nearest place for us is the National Archives-Central Plains Region branch, 2312 E. Bannister Rd., Kansas City. This is open 7:30-4 Monday-Friday, with extended hours to 9 on Weqnesday. It's also open the third Saturday of the month, 9-4. Does anyone wish to write up their experience visiting this archive, and the procedure of looking up someone on the census 72 years ago? From the editor pro tem Mary Burchill, who regularly has been putting this publication to bed, recently moved nearby to a new address (1329 Kasold, Gl, Lawrence KS 66049-3426-but has the same phone and eaddress). She asked me to complete this issue, due to the move and since she and Brower left in early April for an extended stay in New Mexico. In attempt to insure that my editorship remain temporary, I took the opportunity to include a lot of space to the Bunker family. There are several documents concerning the Douglas County archives-but from different sources and separated by as much as 25 years. I do not understand any of this, but simply provide them all without comment. -J. Bunker Clark 5 �Autobiographical Reflections David Bunker (b. Cardington, Ohio, 1830; d. Lawrence, Kansas, 1905) I am rapidly attaining the period of my life that is commonly known as the scriptural limit of man's age. See Psalms. It has therefore occurred to me that a few reflections concerning the past years of my life, committed to paper, might possibly, to some extent, interest some of my descendants. Not that my life has been an eventful one, but, on the contrary, compared with many a man's life, it has been quite uneventful, and very monotonous as far as any thing of a public nature is concerned. I know little of my ancestors farther back than my grandfather, whose name was Isaac Bunker. He was born and. raised in New England, I think on the island of Nantucket in Mass. From this fact I form a pretty strong conjecture that it might nave been some of his near kin that gave his name to the illustrious "Bunker's Hill" of Revolutionary fame. But I never heard. the fact mentioned or hinted at by the family, perhaps because they were Quakers and the instincts of their peculiar sect precluded any idea of honor being attached to such a circumstance. However that may be, I have derived no little satisfaction from believing that such is a fact. Another reason for believing that this is true, in 1855 to 80, I was acquainted with a family of Bunkers in Illinois who came from the state of Maine, and. who claimed to have a clear genealogical record from the advent of "two brothers" from the old country (England). They landed in Boston in a very early day, and remaining in that vicinity, and the other wandering up into north east "back woods" of what eventually became the state of Maine. They were from that stock while I was evidently from the Mass. branch. Thus as I before intimated my knowledge of my ancestry beyond my grandfather is wholly conjectural. On my mother's side I am equally at a loss. She [Matilda Wood Bunker, 1808-70] was the daughter of Israel Wood [correction: Israel, 1797-1874, was her brother; her father was Jonathan Wood, 1760-1838]. I have heard her say that in her girlhood she lived within sight of the Catskill mountains in N. Y. I think her mother was a White as she had cousins who were natives of Soda [Saratoga] Springs, N.Y. My father [Slocum Hussey Bunker, 1805-73] was the oldest of 12 children, and my mother the youngest of 12. As to my various uncles, aunts & cousins I may have something to say later on. I was born in the town, or village, of Cardington, Morrow Co., Ohio, March 7th, 1830. It was some time after that before I began to realize that I existed. Indeed nothing impressed itself on my memory till 3 or 4 years afterward. The fust incident I recollect is that coming into the room where my mother was at work, my baby sister [Alice; see below] was sitting alone in the middle of the floor, and it seems it was her first attempt and being a success I thought it was a wonderful thing. After that follows recollection of mumps, measles, chicken pox, whooping cough, croup and all the other ills childhood is heir to. There is also a clear vision of my mind of a steam saw-mill, a venture of my father's, the frights the children would have every time the steam was blown off, having heard stories of explosions and considering every unusual sound as ominous and after a while, being encouraged by the kind hearted workmen, I became used to it and had many a ride on the carriage that carried the log to the saw and back again to be reset for another board. 6 �I didn't know it then, but in after years I learned that the steam saw mill venture was a failure, and casting around. for something to recoup his lost fortune he struck out for the then territory of Michigan. Everybody seemed to be aIDicted more or less with the "Michigan fever." Father's attack was hard enough to take him there. I remember the family going to grandfather Bunker's [Isaac Bunker, 1780-1841] to live for a time, and how my uncles, half grown boys and young men then would carry me on their shoulders and sing to me little ditties of their own composing, about Michigan, the wolves & the Indians. This was in early spring just in sugar making time and I still retain visions of the old maple sugar camp and the "sugaring off' at the house. How long we staid at grandfathers I cannot now tell. It couldn't have been long, but during the time a little incident occurred that created quite a little excitement in the household & neighborhood for a few hours. My elder sister Jane [1827-93; later, Mrs. William Chauncey Hicks] and our Aunt Hannah (about Jane's age) [1829-67; later, Mrs. Miller] started from the sugar camp one afternoon to go home, & in attempting to find a shorter route than the old beaten road lost their way, and when the men came home at dark, and the girls not being with them, and reporting the time they left camp, and after search at the nearest neighbors failing to bring any tidings of them, there could be no other conclusion than that they were "lost in the woods." The neighborhood was aroused and the woods were scoured with men bearing lanterns and torches, and a little after midnight-they were found, and, amid the firing of guns shouting and other demonstrations of rejoicing, they were brought home safe & sound. I was in bed and asleep before it was known that they were lost, consequently knew nothing of it till the next day, and having heard the story told and dwelt upon so many times it came to seem to me as real as if! had been one of the actors in the scenes. During the months that elapsed after my father had determined to migrate there was a great deal of visiting back and forth. Sometimes we children were taken along and sometimes we were left at home. Horse back riding was more common those days than latterly. It was nothing thought of for a woman to mount a horse & ride across country 5 or 6 miles & back to make a visit to some friend or relative. I distinctly recall one such an occasion when my mother took me behind her on a trusty old sorrel mare that we called old "Fox," and after closing the visit and a mile or two on the return trip a sudden spring shower overtook us and mother put the mare to her best speed to get to where we could find shelter, and how many expressions of wonderment from those to whom mother related the incident that such a little chap as I could stick on to ride so fast, until I came to think I was quite a hero, yet I thought nothing of it at the time. At what juncture we moved to Mt. Gilead I have no knowledge but I remember living, there for a time. I remember attending school there in an octagon school house. I remember very well it was red, but whether it was brick or wood painted red I have no recollection. Red was a popular color for school houses those days as well as later when "the little red school house" became a fruitful theme for stump orators. We lived in a building that was intended for a store. Whether just completed, or had been used and abandoned, I cannot tell. The owners whose name occurs to me was Roy, lived in another part of the building. There was an antislavery lecturer in town at the time and I can remember about the excitement: the rotten egging & the like. If stale eggs couldn't be obtained the hoodlums would take egg shells and fill them with tar and use them as missiles to throw at the lecturer. I remember one day my attention being called to the strong odor of tar on a cloak of Mrs. Roy's that she had worn the evening before to the lecture when one of those missiles had missed its mark and had hit her. It seems strange at this day to think of men being mobbed for advocating the cause of humanity, and, too, in a community where there were no slaves and no prospect of their existence there, and also 7 �where a large proportion of the inhabitants were from principle and religious training and instincts opposed to the institution of slavery, but it has been so in all ages, when the devil is hurt in a tender spot he incites men to deeds of violence and God overrules this "wrath of man" to His own praise and glory. Another incident during our sojourn in Mt. Gilead that made an indelible impression on my mind, and as much as any thing led me in after years to take a determined stand against the evils of intemperance. It was probably during the time of spring rains for the roads were impassible for wagons, and any intercourse or marketing had to be done on horse back. The soil was a yellow sticky clay. I was standing late one afternoon by the window, looking out upon the street. A single saddled horse came slowly by in company with 3 or 4 men all bespattered with mud. The one in the saddle seemed to have great difficulty in sitting upright, the others were endeavoring to sustain him, but in spite of their efforts he would fall off in the mud. I watched them for a long time for their progress was very slow. I thought something dreadful must be the matter with the man, and my sympathy was at its height as well as my curiosity. On inquiry I learned that the man was drunk from drinking too much whiskey. In reply to my childish questions I \Vas told of the effects of all alcoholic drinks, and the insidiousness of the drink habit, and the misery it entailed &c. From that time the vision of this drunken man wallowing in the mud, and his friends patiently trying to ge(him home always came to my mind at sight of an intoxicated man or even the mention of whiskey, and why men should drink stuff that would put them in such a condition was a puzzle to my young brain: and even now in myoid age it seems inconceivable, among other theory, than the work of Satan like that of slavery. But the time had come for as to take our leave of friends & old associations. (I have a rough manuscript of our two weeks journey & settlement in Hastings, Barry Co., Mich., so will not here rewrite it but pass over a period of about seven & one-half years.) In the fall of 1843 my father obtained what he considered remunerative employment in Battle Creek & removed there. The period of our residence there ran uneventful except the school facilities which I enjoyed but did not improve very profitably. In the late autumn of 1845 the M.C.R.R. [Michigan Central Rail Road?] was completed to B.c. and it was then that I saw for the first time a locomotive and cars, & in an excursion to Marshall one evening took my first ride on a rail road. It was then immense, but compared to rail road riding that I have done since, it was very slow. April 1st, 46, we moved to Bellevue, a small village some 13 miles to the north east of B.C. where my father took an old tumble-down grist mill to run. It was in the midst of a fme farming community, and had the mill been worth any thing he might have made money. As it was it took all he made, or more, to keep the old thing in shape to do any thing at all. It was while living here that I began to attain the age that I called myself a ''young man," and go out in to company some, but financial straits precluded my becoming much of a society man. I attended school at Olivet (the then embryo Olivet College [founded 1844]) for a couple of years, & there "finished' my education which was poor at the best. The year that I attained my "majority" was full of events that had to do with shaping my after life. Up to this time my father had designed that I should follow the milling business for my life work. He had abandoned the mill at Bellevue the year before and was casting about for something else to do, and, in the mean time, had secured a position for me in a new'mill that was in the course of construction, to help fit up and start, and then work in it as a miller. It was there that I got my final distaste for the trade, & it took such a hold upon me that my father ceased on insist upon my following it. 8 �The cause of my distaste was something this way. 1st, my work clothes were always so full of mill-dust that I couldn't go on the street or into a store without being in danger of leaving my card on some body's clothes, which annoyed me extremely, being of a very sensitive nature. 2nd, after the mill was in operation, it was necessary to do a great deal of carpenter work inside in the way of bins &c. and a gang of men, mostly young men, were brought in to do the work~ they would work their ten hours, pull off their overalls and with a little brushing were decent to go any where, except perhaps, to a swell society event: whereas, if I wanted to go to a friend's house for an evening's chat I would have to change my clothes, and even then be on a nettle all the time for fear that some streaks of dust were overlooked. 3rd, a flouring mill to run successfully must run night and day, and a miller to expected to work 112 the night and 112 the day. The most profitable season of the year for a mill is in the winter, or it was at that time, and the winter is the season when most entertainment that a young man would like to attend, occur. Working nights a man would not feel like attending an evening entertainment and thereby loosing his sleep. He might do it for a while but it would soon wear him out. These, with a natural dislike for the trade of a miller and an inclination for some mechanical pursuit were the considerations which prompted me to abandon the idea of being a miller. I was now 21 years of age and went home, not knowing what turn to take next, but the first opening was in a saw mill. I worked in partnership with a man by the name of Mason till middle of summer, when the whole property, both grist mill and saw mill, changed hands and the new owner put a new gang of men into the saw mill to saw out lumber & timber for a new grist milL After jobbing about town for a time at any thing I could get to do, and occasionally attending to some official duties (for I was elected constable that spring) I finally secured work on the framing ofthe new grist mill, and worked on it till its completion in the winter, and by that time I began to think I was quite a finished mechanic. It was during this summer that a light fell across my path that has lightened my life ever since. One day while at my work a little figure tripped lightly across the common a few rods away from me, & the thought came to me as a flash, "that is to be my wife." She was a stranger in town, just visiting friends during school vacation. I had not spoken to her yet, or even seen her face, yet I knew from rumor who she was. But how should I go to work to Win her? I hadn't the least idea. Naturally timid in the presence ofIadies, young ladies especially, it seemed to me a hopeless task. Providence favored me. My sisters made her acquaintance and she became a frequent caller & visitor at our house. My affection for her grew space until I could stand it not long & I had to let her into my secret. The result was our marriage three years later. But I must not anticipate. The mill having been completed, my father saw that I was bound to be a mechanic and still clinging to his old hobby of keeping me at home, he moved to Olivet but 6 miles from Bellevue with the intention of starting a wagon shop. Arriving there, no seasoned timber could be found, out of which to construct wagons, so we jobbed around for a year waiting for timber to season. During the summer my father took an idea that it would be a good thing for me to go to Chicago & see what I could do there. So about the middle of August I packed up & went to Chicago. I stayed there for about 2 months when hearing from home that my father had had a very severe attack of inflammation or congestion of the bowels & work assuming a rather of a winter aspect I returned home disgusted with a city life & city work. I managed to keep busy in a way during the winter & the next spring father moved to Marshall & went into a house where we boarded railroad trainmen. I found work on the R.R. & in June of that year was sent to Mich. City [Indiana] to work but changes occurring in the management there that appeared to me unsatisfactory, I returned to 9 �Marshall & reentered the old shop there. The next summer I was married & toward the latter part left the RR service with the intention of coming west but a favorable offer having been made me to go to Olivet to help on the grist mill there, I concluded to go there before coming west, but instead of only two or three weeks it was two or three months before we got through with the work. It was the last day of Oct. before we started out for Ill[inoi]s. We stopped over night in Chicago & the next day we went on to Bloomington where my sister Rachel & her husband Charley Dean were. I staid there only 2 or 3 days & left my wife & came north to La Salle & Mendota. I had intended when leaving Marshall to go to Amboy where they were erecting buildings for shops but at Mendota I found that there were eight miles ofRR iron yet to be laid & concluded to remain at Mendota: and, the strangest thing about it all is, I have never yet been to Amboy although I have passed through it several times on the cars, I never stopped there, & never worked on a RR again. But I had what I called a pretty good offer of work in Mendota & staid there. Our first child was born on the 17th of March a fact of which I was justly proud. It was a boy. The next child was also a boy born 2 years later on the 11th of September. He only lived to be only 2 yrs & 4 months old when he succumbed to dyptheria when it was first making its appearance throughout the country. Our first girl was only about 4 weeks old when he died. The next great event in my career was when I enlisted in the army in 1862. The 20th of Sept. '63 I was wounded quite early in the day at the battle of Chickamauga, retired to a hospl. in Louisville, Ky, & was out of the trials, starvations & hardships of the winter in Chat[t]anooga, returning to my regt. in the spring & May 14 was again wounded on the tenth anniversary of my marriage. This wound nearly laid me out but I recovered from it in about a year so that I have put in many a hard day's work since. The war ended & in June 63 I was mustered out of service. And now back to myoId place in the shop till the next spring when I started a shop on my own account, but it was unfortunate. Every thing bad gone up to war-time prices & now they were falling back to normal so that by the time I had a wagon ready for market the price of wagons had so declined I had to sell it for less than it cost, consequently I could stand such a strain but a very limited time. Notes on David Bunker by J. Bunker Clark David married Susan Jane Spencer, 14 May 1854, in Marshall, Michigan. According to information in the Beulah RickettslKathryn Bunton scrapbooks in the Osma Room, Lawrence Public Library, vol. 1, p. 113, "Susan Jane Spencer, daughter of William and Jane Crosby Spencer. Jane Crosby was the daughter of Lord and Lady Crosby, of Sheffield, England, who on her marriage to William Spencer, a commoner, was disowned. They came to America and settled at Monroe, Michigan, where all their children were born." According to Alice Bunker Ross (pp. 236-42), her mother Susan must have gone to boarding school, then became governess for the family of the Governor of Michigan. At school she met Rachel Bunker, who invited her to visit during the Christmas holidays when she met Rachel's brother David, who she afterwards married. David's mother Matilda Wood Bunker was of a very well-to-do and aristocratic family. Gen. Leonard Wood [for whom Ft. Leonard Wood in Missouri is named] and Col. Sam Wood [well known in Kansas in the 19th century] were cousins. When Susan was 23, and being the governess, she thep. didn't see David for a year or two when he was in college, but then received a letter from him proposing marriage. 10 �The "Autobiographical Reflections" was obviously written after David Bunker's return from the Civil War. Later, in 1891, he was invited to be Instructor in Wagon-Making at Haskell Institute. He made a "tally-ho" in 1895, the story of which was reputed to have appeared in newspapers nationally. She died 4 April 1900, he died 1 October 1905-both in Lawrence. David Bunker's father Slocum Hussey Bunker founded the town of Hastings, in southwestern Michigan, commemorated by a stone marker established by the Daughters of the American Revolution on 12 June 1912. David's sister Dr. Alice Bunker Stockham, according to the Hastings Banner the next day, said in part "Slocum H. Bunker, my father with his brother Thomas S[mith] Bunker, were the ftrst white settlers in Hastings, Mich. In 1836 they build [sic] the ftrst cabin-a living room and two bedrooms, they built a saw mill, established a trading post, a postoffice, a tavern and opened the ftrst school." Alice B. Stockham, one of the ftrst woman M.D.s in the country, became quite well known for her books on women's health and related subjects, notably Karezza and Tokology, which she published herself Indeed, my grandmother Edith Belle Dean (later, Mrs. Thomas Carlyle Clark) lived with her aunt Alice in Chicago for a time in the 1890s, and helped with the publishing activities. David and Susan's son Charles Dean Bunker followed his parents to Lawrence, and about 1895 accepted a position with the KU Natural History Museum, eventually gaining the title of curator. "C. D." was important in establishing KU as a place known for the training ofmammalogists and ornithologists. He was involved in establishing an improved system of cataloging birds and mammals. After his death in 1948 his ashes were scattered from the top of the museum. KU Professor E. Raymond Hall published an II-page booklet on him in 1951. Children of David and Susan Jane Spencer Bunker: Louis Arthur Bunker (1855-1921), who eventually settled in Hutchinson, Kansas. In 1902 he donated the land on which the Carnegie Public Library was built (the building still stands, although no longer a library), and made a bequest of $10,000 for books, the income of which continues to be used. William Spencer Bunker (1857-60) Caroline Elizabeth Bunker (1859-1927), who married Jacob Keilman. Their granddaughter Kathryn Jeanette Bunton (b. 1912), native of Lawrence and a retired nurse, now lives in Brandon Woods. Slocum Henry Bunker (1862-85) Julia Olive Bunker (1866-1952), who married Fred W. Webber. Their granddaughter Jennifer Webber is a resident of Marietta, Georgia. Alice Bunker (1868-1952), who married Frank M. Ross. Charles Dean Bunker (1870-1948), who married Clara Parnell. Their grandson Charles Harry ("Chuck") Warner is president of USBank in Lawrence. ADDENDUM The following is a letter from David Bunker to Susan Jane Spencer, written before they were married. It was published in the Bunkf!r Banner, November 2001, as submitted by Jennifer Webber, granddaughter of Julia Bunker and Fred Webber. She obtained the text of the letter from Patricia Meyer, of Woodbridge, California (whose mother's father, Robert O. Brown, was 11 �brother to Ella, who married David's son Louis A. Bunker-but one needs a chart to understand all this). (As the P.O. has not got any stamps on hand I will enclose a three-cent piece.) Olivet, February 14, 1853 Respected Friend Susan - It has been a long, long time since I heard a word from you in any form. Indeed I knew not that you were yet in the "land ofthe living~" but last week I casually heard that you were still living in Ann Arbor, I thought that I would write to you, to see if peradventure I could find out the cause of this silence. The cause I apprehend is this - when I last wrote to you I was contemplating taking my leave of Olivet for a season, and if I recollect right, I intimated that I should make Homer my first stopping place. But after the letter was mailed, and two days before starting, I changed my mind and went to Chicago. Now I think that if you answered my letter at all, that you directed it to Homer (is that the case?) when I expected that you would direct it to this place, and my friends here would forward it to wherever I should happen to be. And so little did I suspect that to be the case, that I did not even mistrust anything of the kind, until it would have been too late to have got it from there, as it would have been sent to the "dead letter office." As I remarked, I went to Chicago~ I stayed two months and sawall the elephants, and returned home well satisfied to stay in Olivet, a while longer at least. Although I was there through the cholera season, yet I enjoyed remarkable good health all the time, as I have since my return. I do not know of you having any correspondence from this place at this time, therefore I will try and give you a kind of general idea of what has been, and is now going on in this place. The health of the inhabitants was remarkably good until within two or three months. Since then there has been several cases of the typhoid fever. Quite a number of the students have been attacked with it, and at one time it threatened the dissolution of the school for the time being; but the ravages of the disease abated finally, and all goes on as smooth as ever. Professor Bartlett has had an attack of the fever, which came very near carrying him off; but he has recovered, and resumed his labors. George Bartlett fell a victirri to the disease, which was a heavy stroke for the family. Also one of the students, perhaps you may have seen him, as he has been here before, by the name of David H. Clark, from Union City. He was a very promising youth, and had fair to occupy a prominent position in society in time. Also Miss Teresa A. Stone died of the same disease. Father has been unable to do any thing since the first of Oct. - He was taken in the first place with the typhoid fever, from which he was unable to work for about three months, and when he got so that he could begin to work a little, he was taken with an erysipelas swelling under his arm, which gathered and broke several times, and has confined him to the house for eight weeks now, although he begins to travel out around some, yet it will be some time before he will be able to do work again. The school commenced under favorable auspices last fall, and has continued to prosper so far. More, I believe, than the usual number of teachers went out from here last fall , and all , as 12 �far as I can learn, succeed well, and gain for themselves a good reputation, thereby enhancing the reputation of the school. The societies connected with the institution keep up their meetings with their usual interest. But as a general thing this winter, the ladies have carried off the palm. And well could they afford to, for they have had twice the amount of talent in their society that the gentlemen have. The gentlemen have only about half the amount of good writers and speakers, that they had last winter, and the ladies have about the same that they had then. If had had time I would give you a little description of some of the public meetings, but I have not, and so will leave it for your imagination to describe. We have a new hotel in operation this winter, in which there have been held some balls, and a prospect of some more. Some of the students deigned to attend, which raised the Profs' dander, and they have threatened expulsion to every one who attends the next dance, which has created the most excitement that we have had yet in that respect. The ''Niles boys" [presumably from Niles, Mich.] are the principle ones concerned in the matter. Sister Alice [Alice Bunker, 1833-1912, later M.D. and Mrs. Gabriel Henry Stockham, M.D.-see above] is in Ohio, teaching. She will return home by the opening of navigation. Rachel [1836-89, later Mrs. Charles Dean, my great-great grandparents -jbc] is teaching school about four miles north of here, and gets along finely. She gets $2.00 per week. Julia [1838-53] is attending the Institution. Ofthe other two little girls, Sylvia [1844-58] attends district school where there is one in operation. Mary's [1842-77, later Mrs. George E. Wills] health is not sufficiently good to allow of attending school. Our district school closed very suddenly a week or two since. L. O. Smith was teaching, and he got it into his head to go to California, and wished to start immediately, therefore he closed his school unceremoniously. Miss Jane Prior (do you know her? she is an old student and has taught the district school here once) is talked of pretty strongly for the one who is to teach the remainder of the term, and go on with the summer school. At this point I rested a while, and in the mean time I learned that Miss Prior commences her school tomorrow. Do you recall eating Buckwheat cakes at our house? How I wish that you were here to enjoy the treat with me now. But stop! I forgot-we have just eaten the last of our flour, and I do not know where there is any more to be had. But I intend to have some maple molasses by and by, when sugar making time comes, and that will be part of our treat. Do you have any sleighing our your way? We have not had any here that could be called sleighing, although the people have dragged around on what little snow there was, just for the name of it. Now Susan if it is your wish to continue our correspondence, I would like to have you manifest it by answering this as soon as you can make it convenient~ and tell me all about how you have enjoyed yourself, what you have busied yourself about for the last six months, and what you are doing now, etc. Respectfully Yours From your ever well wishing friend, David Bunker 13 �Series Description to the Douglas County, Kansas, Court Records Craig S. Crosswhite Kansas Collection, Kenneth Spencer Research Library, University of Kansas 15 December 1978 This project was performed in conjunction with history course 801, Archival Management, under Dr. Don McCoy, at the University of Kansas in the 1978 fall term. Half the time spent on this project involved carting large volumes into different rooms, as major analysis and rearrangement was necessary to identify volumes by type and series location before any description and inventory could be attempted. With this basic inventory and volume organization done, the many volumes that must be missing may be located, identified, and recovered. This the hope of the author. INTRODUCTION Court records are often the most accurate diaries of country growth and change. To understand and interpret their content, however, the researcher must be familiar with the county of their inception. With the signing of the Kansas-Nebraska Act by President Franklin Pierce on 30 May 1854, settlers immediately began pouring into the territory where they formed pockets of resistance either for or against slavery. One such group opposing slavery was rushed to the present site of Lawrence by the Emigrant Aid Company of Massachusetts. On 30 July 1854, barely two months after the bill's passage, this first group landed by steamboat on the shores of the Kansas River, naming their new town after the chief financial backer of the company, Amos A. Lawrence. By the time of the assembly of the first territorial legislature near Fort Riley in July of 1855, enough settlers had arrived in this area to allow for county chartering. Named in honor of Senator Stephen A. Douglas of lllinois, the county was among the first dozen to be created. Lecompton, the westernmost township of Douglas County, was designated the county seat because of the relocation of the legislature there and because of its pros lavery sympathies. Eventually the territorial capital was moved again. This time, with the increase of population in and about Lawrence, the county seat was moved there by legislative enactment in January of 1858. One of the first actions of every territory in the Union was to provide, through statutes a framework by which county property, government, and court records should be created and maintained. These records were usually large bound volumes labeled as mortgages, deeds, wills, commissioner books, tax rolls, court journals, judicial dockets, appearance dockets, and so forth. This series description treats the latter records created primarily by the district court ofOouglas County sitting in Lawrence. Within the first law, The Statutes of the Territory ofKansas, J855, chapter 93, article 3, sec. 3, provides that every elected judge holding office in the district court shall keep a docket listing all civil and criminal cases that he tries, along with all orders and executions that he makes. In chapter 90, sec. 25-30, an appointed court clerk is to enter all court judgements in a docket book to be filed with the district court and used as a public record. These early district court records were probably first kept at Lecompton, and then at Lawrence. On 21 August 1863 Captain William Clark Quantrill and his partisan forces struck Lawrence as part of the continued border warfare of the Civil War. In this raid, the entire business district was set afire. Among the losses in life and property were the majority of county 14 �court records. A few earlier records did survive, but only those dealing with property. A more complete account of the early county and court history, including a listing of county and court officials, is contained in A. T. Andreas's History o/the State o/Kansas (Chicago, 1883; reprint, Atchison: Atchison County Historical Society, 1976), pages 310-12. Kansas was admitted to the Union in 1861, but it was not until after the Civil War that its laws were fully codified to include a more detailed description of how county and district court records were to be maintained. In Douglas County, early property and government record books tend to be consistent in form of entry and style of writing. The court and judicial dockets, however, change and evolve in form and style from 1865 to the middle 1880. The variety in docket style reflects as much the individual skill and demands of the justice of the peace as it does the continued growth of the county and the demand in time for more detailed records. In the Compiled Laws o/Kansas, 1868, chapter 80, article 34, sec. 703-707, the court clerk is required to keep up-to-date several record books--criminal and civil appearance dockets, criminal and civil trial dockets, court journals, judgment books, execution dockets, and any other records that his particular court should feel necessary. The earliest Douglas County records show a certain amount of confusion, especially in the criminal trial and appearance dockets. In chapter 81, article 15, sec. 188-193 of the same statutes, the two elected justices of the peace were required to keep a docket book, within which each case tried was to have a full transcript recorded personally. Upon completion of his term, the judge turned his book over to his successor, who continued the case recordings on the following pages. Since two justices held court in tandem, these books often overlap as to thc chronology of the cases tried. As the researcher might suspect, the judicial dockets have the greatest variety of style, legibility, and detailed information, as suited the particular judge's whim or fancy. Upon completion of any bound volume, the court clerk or the judge filed the book with the district court where it was kept as a public record and reference tool. The duties of the court clerk have survived the two major revisions of the statutes in 1923 and 1970. In the Kansas Statutes Annotated, §60-2601 (1976), the clerk is no longer required to maintain the number of volumes that he was previously, but provisions are outlined as to the use of computer storage and retrieval. The keeping of the judicial docket survived the 1923 code revision, but was repealed by the legislature in 1969 as no longer necessary, in view of the extensive case recordings performed today. The Douglas County District Court Records were kept in bound volume series in the old courthouse in the 1100 block of Massachusetts Street. In 1975 massive gutting and renovation was begun to allow for modernization of offices, air control units, and safety standards. The county commissioners took advantage of the situation to employ Kansas Statute Annotated, §19254, whereby any county records over twenty years old, that have been offered to and rejected by the state historical society, may be destroyed upon the approval of the district court. Fortunately the county commissioners, led by Arthur Heck and Peter Whitenight, negotiated to have these records microfilmed and then turned. over to the Kansas Collection of the Kenneth Spencer Research Library at the University of Kansas. In October of 1975, the transfer was made by Board of Commissioners Resolution No. 75-6-1, after approval was granted from the state historical society in Topeka. Within the agreement are provisions to allow continued county ownership and use, open research access, safe and secure maintenance, notification to the board if the records be moved, and attachment of this resolution and its provisions to any future transfer of records. It is hoped (and anticipated) that in the near future this author and the Kansas Collection curator will search through the remaining court records in the remodeled courthouse with the desire to fill in the gaps evident in this collection's volume series. At that time, the remaining 15 �property and government records of the county, already in complete series in the Kansas Collection, will be added to make a finished inventory of the older county court, property, and government records. l. COURT JOURNALS, 1863-1901,22 volumes (letters A-V). Average size 32 x 45 x 8 cm. These volumes contain the proceedings of the Douglas County district court for each day that it met. Included are all civil and criminal trials, grandjury proceedings, orders from the judge in vacation or in chambers, jury selection proceedings, petitions from lawyers and parties, and all other in-court events and matters. Abundant information is available about county court procedure, types and number of different legal cases, city and county growth, and a listing of many county residents. There are no gaps in the series, and later additions of subsequent volumes are expected. Maintained by the court clerk, the, text is very legible. An alphabetical index is included in the front of every volume, listing most names of persons within. Each volume covers about two years of court sessions. 2. JUDGEMENT DOCKETS, 1870-78, 1 volume (no. 2). Size: 33 x 46 x 6 cm. This is a general index in which the name of each person against whom a judgment is rendered, appears in alphabetically ordered sections. Listed under each entry are the parties to the case, the date, the number of pages filed with the clerk, the amount of money settled upon in the case, and the page and volume reference to the particular court journal that holds the text of the case. Entries were made by the court clerk, so the text is uniform and legible. This volume allowed quick reference by any researcher as to a certain person's involvement at trial in court over a seven-year span. These dockets provide a handy research tool in searching for county residents and their legal activities. Volumes 1,3, and 4 are probably in the county courthouse, and will be pursued. 3. CRIMINAL TRIAL DOCKET, 1864-78, I volume (no. 1). Size: 30 x 45 x 6 cm. This volume was used by the court clerk to place upcoming criminal cases upon a case calendar. Noted under each entry are the parties, the attorneys, the docket number, the charge, judicial orders, and final dispensation. An enclosed alphabetical index covers those cases entered between 1874 and 1878. This volume appears to have been of limited use to the ~istrict court, and it is suspected that later volumes were not created. Instead, volume 2 of the Criminal Appearance Dockets lines up exactly in progressing docket number and trial dates with this volume. It is possible that the trial docket entry was dropped in favor of the appearance docket entry system. This volume has limited use to the researcher without an early index. The court journals and judicial dockets contain more information. 4. CRIMINAL APPEARANCE DOCKET, 1878-1907, 1945-49, 1950-51,6 volumes (nos. 2,3, 1,2, C, E). Average size: 32 x 46 x 8 cm. These volumes list all legal actions in the order that they were filed in the court clerk's office. Entry information includes the date of summons and its return, petition and pleadings filed, judicial judgments and orders, and a listing of the costs accrued during the action. The entry served as a registry of all prior trial activities of either party or the court in setting up the case for trial. The first two volumes appear to be successors of volume 1 of the Criminal Appearance Docket. Because of the length of time between the first two and latter four volumes, it is assumed that missing volumes exist at the courthouse. Each volume includes an alphabetical index by parties to the actions in the front. These volumes contain information of interest to the researcher about pretrial court procedure and filing costs and fees. 16 �5. CIVIL TRIAL DOCKETS, 1864-68, 1874-94,9 volumes (nos. 1,2,6-11, 14). Average size: 31 x46 x 7 cm. These volumes were used by the court clerk to place upcoming civil cases upon a case calendar. Noted under each entry are the parties, the attorneys, the docket number, the type of dispute, judicial orders, date of case, and final dispensation. There are no indexes to any of these volumes. Volumes 3-6 are missing and it is uncertain that the court continued to keep such volumes after 1894. The last volume (H) has no entries or text. Although labeled "Final Record" , it is unclear what its use was to have been. These volumes have limited use to the researcher without any indexes. The court journals and the judicial dockets contain more information. 6. CIVIL APPEARANCE DOCKETS, 1863-1901, 16 volumes (letters A-O). Average size: 32 x 47 x 7.5 cm. These volumes list all legal actions in the order that they were filed in the court clerk's office. Entry information includes the date of summons and its return, petition and pleadings filed, judicial judgments and orders, and a listing of the costs accrued during the action. The entry served as a registry of all prior trial activities of either party or the court in setting up the case for trial. Each volume includes an alphabetical index by parties in the front. The series for the above years is complete, with one additional loose index for the years 1901-03 as a part of the series. In addition, a one-volume inverse index is available listing defendant parties for the years 1863-83 (volumes A-I). Later volumes and general indexes are probably in the courthouse. With the aid of the volume indexes, this series is a valuable aid to the researcher studying county business foreclosures, attachments, and other commercial legal problems. 7. JAIL BOOKS, 1867-85, 1904-11,2 volumes (nos. 1 and 4). Average size: 28 x 41 x 5 cm. These volumes list all male prisoners incarcerated in the county jail by order of the court. Kept by either the sheriff or the jailor, the entry information includes the prisoner's name, when committed, his place of origin, his offense, term length, by whose order, when discharged, the number of days served, and his physical description. Alphabetical indexes are included in the front. Volumes 2 and 3 are missing, and later volumes are probably at the courthouse. These volumes are good sources for researchers interested in the number and kinds of persons incarcerated, and for what offenses. 8. SHERIFF'S ACCOUNT BOOK, 1864-65, 1 volume. Size: 27 x 39 x 3 cm. This volume was kept for the period after Quantrill's raid until the end of the Civil War. Listed are all court cases by parties where the sheriff was owed a fee for his services, usually to summons or writ. Also are listings of fees owed to the sheriff for the boarding of prisoners and the duties requiring his travel in and out of the county. There is no index. This volume is of limited use in the study of early county law enforcement. 9. CRIMlNAL JUDICIAL DOCKETS, 1874-78, 1881-1945, 22 volumes (random numerical order). Average size: 30 x 41 x 4.5-7.5 cm. By law, each district judge kept a docket case book of all court cases that he personally tried. Each page entry includes information as to case title, date of writ, date of case, party arrest record, property attached, facts stated, affidavits and bills of particular filed, appearing parties, adjoinments, jury selections and verdicts, witnesses sworn, judicial orders and executions, final judgment, monies paid at court, and any continuances. Because justices stood for re-election 17 �every two years, several of the above volumes changed hands several times. Each judge kept his personal case docket, which he would turn over to his replacement upon retirement. This new judge, in turn, would continue entry of cases until the volume was complete, when it was filed with the district court. Since two justices served at the same time, the volumes from the 1890s onward overlap in chronology, as each judge took his turn trying cases on different days. There are gaps in the volume series between 1878 and 1881, and between 1927 and 1932. Alphabetical indexes are included in the front of each volume. A wealth of information about types of cases, frequency of crimes, judicial orders and procedures, and kinds and severity of punishment meted out are of interest to the researcher. Also included are many names of county residents. 10. CIVIL JUDICIAL DOCKETS, 1873-1927, 1932-61,37 volumes (random numerical order). Average size: 30 x 41 x 7 cm. There are many more civil than criminal cases, accounting for the size of this particular series. By law, each district judge kept a docket case book of all court cases that he personally tried. Each page entry includes information as to case title, date of writ, date of case,. property attached, facts stated, affidavits and bills of particular filed, appearing parties, adjoinments, jury selections and verdicts, witnesses sworn, judicial orders and executions, final judgment, monies paid at court, and any continuances. Because justices stood for re-election every two years, several of the above volumes changed hands several times. Each judge kept his personal case docket, which he would turn over to his replacement upon retirement. This new judge, in turn, would continue entry of cases until the volume was complete, when it was filed with the district court. Since two justices served at the same time, the volumes from the 1890s onward overlap in chronology, as each judge took his tum trying cases on different days. Alphabetical indexes are included in the front of most volumes. Volumes 15 and 18 have bound alphabetical indexes standing besides them. Judge R. C. Manley's volume (1922-25) is mistakenly enclosed within a cover entitled "Criminal Docket, Volume 9." Judge Brook's volume (1907-12) has no index. Several volumes for the years 1927-32 are missing. It is suspected that random volumes are missing from 1920 on. These records are of particular interest to the researcher studying business and county growth, frequency of such cases as divorce and alimony, assault and defamation, and other civil actions. These volumes contain the names of many county residents. 18 �Douglas County Court Records Now at Spencer Research Library, University of Kansas volume no. range record name, dates C-2 C-3 Register of Deeds Fee Book, 1924-40 Reception Record and Fee Book, 1941-45 Claim Register, 1903-06 Claim Register, 1946-54 Claim Register, 1960-66 Record of Claims, 1908-26 Claim and Warrant Register, 1927-29 Warrant Register, 1935 Pay Roll Warrant Register, 1943-53 Unpaid Warrant Register, 1931-48 Treasurer's Warrant Register, 1915-17 Treasurer's Record, 1922-26 Treasurer's Journal, 1957-61 Journal, 1934-46 Civil Docket, 1931-38 Criminal Docket, 1943-48 Bond Record, 1865-1916 Register of City Orders, 1897-1918 Invoices, 1910-15 Ordinances, 1866-1932 Index to Petitions, 1866-1948 Personal Tax Warrant Record, 1925-35 MortgageslFields Destroyed, 1885-95 Record of Cost and Attachment Bonds, 1901-05 Record of Bonds, 1900-23 Record of Appeal and Replevin Bonds, 1900-16 Stock Lien Record, 1888-1940 Welfare Fund and Warrant Register, 1945-47 Sheriff's Fee Book, 1898-1900 Sheriff's Fee Book, 1905-37 Sales Tax Records, Lots, 1859-65 Sales Tax Records, Lots, 1868-1915 Sales Tax Records, Lots & Lands, 1859-67 Sales Tax Records, Lots & Lands, 1916-25 Sales Tax Records, Lands, 1859-65 Sales Tax Records, Lands, 1868-1915 Tax Roll, 1863-1948 Tax Roll, 1949-67 Commissions' Record of Allowances, 1872-1915 Delinquent Real Estate Sales Record, 1926-37 Distribution Record, 1875-79 19 B R-S 24 E-F A A 19-23 �Distribution Record, 1904-28 Fee Books, 1898-1909 Fee Books, 1920-26 Check and Deposit Registration, 1911-38 Redemption Book, 1879-91 C-l Mortgage Records General Index, Mortgages, 1860-95 Mortgage Record Mortgage Record General Index, Deeds, Lawrence, 1855-59 General Index, Deeds, Douglas County, 1857-60 General Index, Deeds, 1860-1900 Deeds Records Numerical Index, 1917-69 Transfer Records, Lands, 1872-1921 Transfer Records, Lands, 1921-70 Transfer Records, Lots, 1871-1918 Transfer Records, Lots, 1918-66 Transfer Records, Lots Index, 1858-1895 Commissioners'Records, 1855-1939 Commissioners' Records Index, 1855-94 Taxes: Additional, 1924-49 Assessments: Eudora, Palmyra, Willow Springs, 1865 Clinton, Kanwaka, Lecompton, Marion, 1865 Wakarusa, Sarcoxie, 1865 Assessment Rolls: Eudora, Baldwin, Lecompton, 1930-45 Baldwin, Vinland, 1916-21 Baldwin, Vinland, 1926-29 Clinton, 1863-1945 Eudora, 1864-1925 Eudora, 1930:-45 Grant, 1867-1945 Kanwaka, 1864-1945 Lawrence, 1863-1945 North Lawrence, 1869-70 Lecompton, 1864..,69 Lecompton, 1872-1945 Marion, 1864-1945 Palmyra, 1863-1945 Wakarusa, 1863-82 Wakarusa, 1886-1945 Willow Springs, 1863-1945 Civil Appearance Dockets, 1863-1901 A-O Civil Appearance Dockets: Inverse Index, 1863-84 Civil Trial Dockets, 1864-68 20 D-Z, 1-37 2-8 1 (A-L) 2 (M-Z) . 1-16 A-Z, 1-64 2-7 2-8 A-M (not J) A-F A-I �Civil Trial Dockets, 1874-94 Final Record, blank Civil Dockets (with indexes), 1873-76 C-2 6-11 1-3 Civil/Justice Dockets, 1876-1961 1874-78 Sheriff Docket, 1864-65 Rec~>Tds, C-3 Redemption Book, 1910-34 Tax Levies, 1867-1934 Judgement Tax Roll, 1893-98 General Abstract of Tax Roll, 1903-21 General Abstract of Tax Roll, 1923-40 Abstract of Assessment Roll, 1913-43 Omitted Personal Property Tax Roll, 1903-04 Railroad Tax Roll, 1874-79 Railroad Tax Roll, 1882-1910 Recapitulation of Abstract of Tax Rolls, 1927-40 Journal, Clerks Offices, 1880-1910 General Ledger, 1911-27 Recapitulation of County Orders, 1867-74 Bank Accounts, 1886-1909 Daily Cash Book, 1886-96 Treasurer's Record of Payment for Floating Orders, 187Commissioners' Report on Fees, 1921-24 Ledger, Paid Out, 1914-19 Ledger, County Assistance to the Needy, 1912-14 Ledger, PostagelMeter Readings, 1944 Ledger, PostagelMeter Readings, 1946 Ledger, PostagelMeter Readings, 1955-58 Peddler's License, 1903-42 Ledger, License Books, 1944-45 Ledger, License Books, 1949-59 Licenses Sold, 1958-64 Ledger, Fees Paid for Licenses, 1946-51 Ledger, Amounts Paid by Treasurer, 1868-78 Ledger, County Fund Balances, 1884-1911 Estrays, 1863-66 Estrays,1875-1916 Real Estate Index, 1891 Record of Physicians Authority to Practice, 1901-19 Record of Blank Liquor Affidavits, 1887-1909 Census, 1870 Register of School District Bonds, 1872-1922 Record of School Land Sales, 1866-1907 Register of Party Affiliation, prior to 1938: Douglas County, Fourth Ward, First Precinct Kanwaka;

On what I thought was our last trip out to the car, I noticed soiled, crumpled papers and large, manila envelopes piled into the yellow recycle bins on the front porch. The hair on .the back of my neck stood up! Each and every envelope I pulled out was again labeled neatly with a surname. Each crumpled sheet, an old typed family group sheet, each done with care and sources cited. Back inside, I nervously asked the Estate Coordinator how much for the contents of the recycle bins outside? Agitated and frowning, she followed me outside. She did not undestand my question. What bins? What papers? When she saw the yellow "paper trash recycling" bins filled by herself and her workers, she said ''That's garbage! You don't want that garbage.: I assured her I did. She laughed a little too loud, shook her head, looked me up and down, and told me to take that junk, no charge. We both felt eyes burning into our backs as we carried the last bit of "trash" out to our overly filled car. At home, I discovered, Mrs.John Doe had been doing genealogy for at least 55 years. She knew how to cite her sources. She did all her genealogy research without surfing the Net, a computer or a word processor. Her work filled a very large bookcase in my home, plus a 4 drawer filing cabinet. Mrs. John Doe was probably at one time an active member of D.A. R., Mayflower descendants and Colonial Dames. She had taken several research trips to Washington, D. C. and Salt Lake City, UT. She wrote and compiled several small surname books and co-authored many others. She wrote, edited and contributed to at least four county and three surname genealogy newsletters for years. She did DAR. and Mayflower research for others by mail and wrote and received numerous genealogy correspondence. She was a member of a dozen genealogy societies in as many states. Did Mrs. John Doe have living children? I am sure she did. Her scrapbooks were filled with recent Happy Birthday & Mother's Day cards post marked same state. Why were her personal scrapbooks left to strangers? Why were old photos ignored upstairs on the floor? What was thrown away before I got there? The answer to Your Most Burning Genealogy Puzzle? Maybe. Why didn't Mrs. Joh Doe's children make arrangements for her genealogy research to be donated to a genealogy society? Did they think her hobby would have no use to anlyone else? Maybe it was just overlooked. Maybe they just didn't care. Why didn't Mrs. John Doe herself make arrangements for final disposition of all her research notes, original documents, books and collections? This is a true Story. I am telling you this story, so you will have nightmares. So you will think of the inevitable, so you will make plans. Your family could very easily dump years of your research into the garbage can before your first funeral spray is delivered, or before your ashes are cool. If your genealogy hobby, passion, addiction, compulsion has ever been a source of any irritation to any family member, it will be tossed away. I strongly urge you to make provision in your will for disposition of your research right away. Get it on paper. Make it legal. Call your friendly family lawyer. Tell your friends. Call you genealogy or historical society. Your society can help you. They have experience, and experienced persons who can answer all your questions and put your mind at ease. I have made arrangements for disposition of my genealogy research notebooks, reference books, genealogy books, file folders, genealogy software, film reader, film and fiche, and photographs to be donated to my local genealogy society. But I was shy about doing it. Now I am really pleased I did. I have color-coded scrapsbooks, family photo albums and books to be given to certain family members. A copy of the color code is with my will. If my husband and I go first, I am certain my sisters would set my genealogy area on fire. What am I going to do with the research of Mrs. �John Doe? Just in case, her work is already color coded to be given to my local genealogy society. They will eventually get all Mrs. John Doe's work, not already placed with family members or researchers. I will make every effort to find family members who will cherish her scrapbooks, photos and research. I am slowly reading her research packages and making a general index of surnames and locations. In her notes I hope to find The Answer to My Most Burning Genealogy Puzzle. Maybe.

We just had a first-ever family reunion for the descendents of Samuel Agnew Riggs, county attorney in Lawrence. His only child was born two years AFTER the raid, and that child had 7 children. Now there are about 200 descendents, none of whom would be here ifSkagg's gun had not misfired AND if Kate Riggs had not hung onto his horse. Among the descendents are two university presidents, several educators, lawyers, environmentalists, and physicians. Samuel's son Henry Earle Riggs was a railroad builder who spent the last 18 years of his career as head of civil engineering at the U of Michigan. He wrote and published a family history in the 1940s ("Our Pioneer Ancestors"). It contains first-person accounts from Samuel and Kate. I used the former to write the following. I am a university president, and I write a 500-word column for the local paper every week. Usually, it's about the university. But some stories must be told, regardless! I don't know if you have any interest at all, but ... here it is, FYI. I have used the quotation marks loosely - the words there are all his, but I have omitted quite a bit without so indicating. University and Community: History Lesson with a Sharp Point June 20,2001 Ellen-Earle Chaffee, President Mayville State and Valley City State Universities Quantrell's raid against the people of Lawrence, Kansas occurred from about 5:00 to 9:00 in the morning on August 21, 1863. A band of miscreants burned, looted, and murdered 180 people that day. One ofthe targets was county attorney Samuel Agnew Riggs, who had prosecuted Quantrell for horse stealing, robbery, and other crimes. Riggs' personal account of one incident follows, slightly edited. "Skaggs was alone. As he came up to Burt, he demanded Burt's arms. He had none. Then he demanded his money. Burt handed him what I supposed was money which Skaggs stuffed into a pocketbook already overfull, without a further word shot and instantly killed Burt. "Skaggs rode up to me and demanded my arms and my money. I told him I had no arms and gave him a small amount of money. The revolver with which he had killed Burt lay across his lap as we talked. After he had disposed of the money I gave him, he took up the revolver from his lap, and after our conversation, in which he applied to me all the opprobrious epithets his vocabulary afforded, he presented it within a foot of my breast and pulled the trigger. The cap snapped but there was no discharge. He half cocked the revolver and turned the cylinder to a good cap. I seized the barrel and was able to prevent his getting aim. We had a struggle. Ijumped to the rear of his horse, intending to escape through the lots down the street by jumping fences and making any shot he might fire a chance one. "And now came a providential interference in my behalf. My wife in an upstairs room heard Skagg's demands of Burt, ran downstairs and stood behind me and not more than three or four feet from me. I did not know this at the time. As I jumped behind his horse and ran to the east Skaggs said with an oath "Oh I can run you down easy enough" and turned his horse to the north. My wife at once seized the bridle reins and guided the horse directly at right angles to the direction in which I was running. I heard Skaggs cursing and threatening someone and heard the blows of his revolver on the neck of his horse as he was trying to beat her hands from the bridle. Powerless to help her and at her urgent insistence, I ran on and carried out my plan. Skaggs turned in his saddle and fired one shot which missed me. My wife was lof2 6/28/01 10:12 AM �QuantteU dragged over a board and wood pile and around one of the houses before her hold on the bridle reins was broken." Two years later, Samuel and Catharine Doane Earle Riggs had their only child, Henry Earle Riggs. Henry and Emma then had seven children. I am the eldest child of the eldest child of their eldest child, and all three of us are named Ellen Earle. Last week, 138 years after QuantreU's Raid, about one-third of the 200-plus heirs gathered in Virginia for a first-ever family reunion, celebrating the one day ofluck and courage that made our very existence possible.

Photo albums with sticky pages and convenient plastic covers were the invention of one decade that would leave generations picking the comers of gooey-glued pictures from yellowing pages. Birth certificates, wedding licenses and even social security cards were set firmly in place in the pages of magnetic photo albums that are potentially devastating to your descendents recollections of you. There is a way to lift those pictures and papers off without tearing and bending them or your fingernails. Boil a pot or kettle of water. Leaving the plastic sheet protector over the face of the photograph or important document, hold it gently over the steam. The heat and gentle moisture will help lift items from the sticky pages. Avoid getting too much moisture on pictures. The moisture will actually help rehydarte some types of papers. Never let the items sweat with steam. Once they are removed from the album page, cover them gently with blotter paper purchased at an art supply store. Leave the documents pressed for 12 to 24 hours. If you are worried about getting too much moisture on your photographs try removing them with a warm iron. Take off the plastic protective cover and lay the magnetic photo page facedown on a hard, covered surface. Cover it with a white sheet of paper to protect your iron. Set the iron on medium heat. Apply pressure to the page (not too much). As the page warms up, the photos edges will begin to lift. A warm hair dryer will serve the same purpose with a slower result. Photos might curl from the warmth. Press them between two books with a layer of blotter paper on top and bottom to flatten.

LIBRARY OF CONGRESS INTERLmRARY LOANS DELIVERED ONLINE (From Ancestry Daily News, 4 December 2000) A new service is testing the feasibility of using the Internet to fill requests at the Library of Congress. With the service, the Library is now filling interlibrary loan requests for small, fragile items by scanning the material and making the images available over the Internet. Under the new service, which is still in its early stages, the requesting library is alerted that _.33 - �although the item is non-circulating, it will be available at a specific time as a digital image. These images can be viewed and copied from the Library's interlibrary loan Web site and from the online cataloging record. The service is intended to explore the practicality of scanning, storing, and delivering materials as digital images within the time requirements of interlibrary loan clients. In its initial state, the service will scan titles that are: In the public domain Non-circulating because of physical condition or age Able to be captured in a relatively small digital file, and the Have a cataloging record on the Web in which to place a link. The motto of the service is "Copy Once, Access Always." Items scanned so far include eyewitness accounts from the Civil War, a small volume of African American dialect poems and photographs and a farcical account of a marriage ceremony at a racetrack. They and other examples of items req.uested by interlibrary loan clients can be seen online. In the past, small items that were too fragile to circulate on interlibrary loan had to be photocopied. If the item was requested again, the same procedure had to be repeated. By scanning this material and linking the images to the cataloging record, the Library responds to the initial interlibrary loan request, helps conserve the original item by eliminating the need for further photocopying, and makes the digital copy widely accessible. In preparation for digital delivery, each item is reviewed and treated by conservation staff as necessary, thtm scanned and archived as a 300 dpi TIFF image by stafffrom the Library's Information Technology Services. The archived images are then converted to PDF format and stored as single-item files on a publicly accessible server. PDF was chosen as a the format because of its ease of access and the ability to download and print the entire work as a file. A link to the PDF file is also added to the catalog record on the Web, substituting mouse click for a loan request in the future and increasing the accessibility of the Library's collections to remote users everywhere. The new service began in earnest in mid-October with the delivery ofa Revolutionary War broadside, a 19th-century pamphlet on the Hawaiian reciprocity treaty, and an item on freemasonry-all with deadlines. As it matures the service's administrators will evaluate the acceptability of digital images in lieu of photocopies and explore how to integrte a digital scanning operation into routine document delivery services. Small items in the public domain currently make up less than 1 percent of items requested from the Library of Congress, or approximately 350 items per year at the current level of use. However, the service has already proved popular as a alternative to photocopying for rare material and may actually increase the number of items "circulated" from previously off-limits collections. - a1- �KANSAS UNIVERSITY POSTS MAPS ONLINE (Capper's 4 September 2001) Old maps of Kansas have been put online by Wichita State university. School officials say they believe the collection of more than 325 historic maps is among the largest online. The maps date from 1556 to 1900 and show the changing boundaries of Kansas and the routes of explorers, railroads, roads and trails. They also show the clash of cultures, topographic details and the decorative borders and elaborate touches typical of early day mapmakers. ''You can find more information from a historical map than just locations and places," said Vrrgil Dean, historian at the Kansas State Historical Society in Topeka.With a click ofa computer mouse, a researcher can see a 17th century map with international boundaries set by Spain and . France. Another click, and the viewer can travel to the 19th century and see Indian Territory divided into reservation, or zoom in on rivers and streams, county seats and roadways. The first map to show Kansas land was published by a Spanish mapmaker in 1536. It indicates places named by conquistador Francisco Vasquez de Coronado in his search for the Seven Cities ofCibola. 'Maps of New France," from 1711, includes topographic features, French forts and American Indian villages. Still another, from 1814, depicts a land with a river called ''Kansas.'' There are more showing the borders of Kansas outlined with railroads and roads, counties and streams. One printed in German was used by Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad agents to recruit immigrants for settlement along railroad land. And there are maps showing the final establishment of Kansas counties, in the 1890's. The majority of maps are part of the Robert W. Baughman Map Collection at the Wichita State University Department of Special Collections. In 1961, Baughman published many of those maps in his book KansaS in Maps. The University acquired the collection in 1962. The Internet address is: http://special collections.wichita.edulcollectionslmapsfmdex.asp or if you forget that just go to Wichita State University,Libraries,Special Collections,Digitized Map Collection.

Pearl McDonald �CHECK NURSING HOMES When you are on a research trip, don't forget to check with local nursing homes. On a recent trip, I visited a nursing home in the town where my great-grandfather lived for a time. I asked at the desk if any residents would be interested in speaking to me about the local area and the family I was researching. I did not expect the phenomenal reception I received from several residents with many stories and plenty of time to tell them to an interested person. I was given not only information, but also several new leads on my great-grandfather's history, and I had a wonderful afternoon full oflaughs and memories shared with others. Karma Y oakem AN INSURANCE POLICY FIND I have been researching the parents and siblings of my father-in-law, Gottlieb Beilinsohn, who was the only member of his family, to the best of our knowledge, to emigrate from Russia. Since he had never shared any information with the family, I was not having much success. Then, among a box of business papers, I found an old insurance policy from early in the last century. It required him to list the number of siblings and parents he had, as well as each one's gender, health history, year of death (if deceased), and age (as of the year of the policy). Although I still do not have names or years of birth, thanks to this policy, I now have a start. Joan Balinson PAGINATION NOTES When saving family records, it is wise to make a notation at the bottom of the page listing all the surnames (or in case of only one name, first names) found in the record. This saves you time you would otherwise spend in re-reading the material to find a name you remember having seen somewhere. If there is more than one page, I also immediately number the pages as "1 of [total number of pages]" and make a notation of the reference and date I located it. The name of the person or place where the reference was obtained is also important. On each page, I also note the title of the article, in case some of the pages get misplaced or separated from the rest. Diane Brown. WASTED RESEARCH TIME Keep a record of EVERYWHERE you search--the place and the record source, even if you don't find anything about your ancestors in the resource. (This applies to indexes, printed genealogies, original records, etc.) Why? Valuable time is wasted in repeating or retracing your steps. Also, when you want to double-check previous findings or weren't quite finished with researching, you know exactly where to start the research on your next visit. Make sure you always record the name of the library, town, courthouse, museum, etc., as well as the document source. Nothing is worse than having a source and not remembering where you found it. Earlene Scott �MARK YOUR RECORDS I recently worked on a genealogy in southwest Iowa for some people on the West Coast. The lady brought an elderly aunt a long distance to research their ancestors. They had been to the county courthouse, the library, and the cemetery. Time was short, so they dined at a local restaurant and headed back to the West coast. When several hundred miles along the journey home, they discovered that their genealogical records were missing! They called the places they had been without any luck. The courthouse suggested they call me. I also retraced their stops, but the records were nowhere to be found. I then volunteered to find the records they wanted so much. After this experience, I highly recommend that you mark every notebook, brief case, or other record carrier with your name, address, and phone number, and with the note to call you collect should someone find it. I have added my e-mail address also. These records are valuable to you, but they may end up in a trash can miles from home if you're not careful. If you are contacted about a lost notebook, make arrangements to reimburse the person who has so graciously contacted you. I, too, have learned the hard way, but I was fortunate to get a phone call and soon had my records back. Kathleen Kelley �JUDYm . GIDEON GRUBB �DOUGLAS COUNTY, KANSAS GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY, IN~.

She has been a teacher most of the time, first in Abilene and now in Lawrence. CLASS REUNION "A Feast of Reason and a Flow of Soul" Eunice M. Pease, now Mrs. John W. Alder, was present and gave a sketch of her life since school-days. Her home is at Pine Ridge Agency, Dakota Territory. One of the pleasantest features of commencement week was the reunion on Thursday last, of one of the early classes of the university. This was the class which entered the year General Frazer became chancellor. It was the intention to include all persons who were members of the class while it was in the old university building. Of the teachers of those days, only Profs Snow and Robinson are still members of the faculty. A previous engagement took Prof. Robinson to Wyandotte on that day. Mary L. Willes was reported as long since dead. Antoinette L. Williams, after leaving the university, graduated from the medical department of Michigan University at Ann Arbor. She is at present an assistant in the New England Hospital, Boston, Mass. A very interesting letter was read from Lizzie A. Williams, now Mrs. Charles Smith, of Stockton, Kansas. She graduated from Kansas State University in 1876, with highest rank in her classes. An enthusiastic meeting of the above class was held at Bismarck Grove, June 8, 1882. An elegant dinner was served, at which Prof. Snow presided, evidently rejoicing to meet so many of his former pupils and recall old times. After the feast Prof. Snow called the roll as in former days, each one responding in person or by proxy. Alice Archibald was recalled as a modest, bright girl. After leaving Lawrence she went to Washington, D.C., thence to Trinidad, Col.; was married and has been dead several years. Nineteen members were present and letters were read from many absentees, while college reminiscences were freely indulged in. Fannie Bigelow, now Mrs. D.P. Barber, of Lawrence, was present and added to the pleasure of the occasion. Ida Blood, now Mrs. Hasselman, of Indianapolis, Ind., sent a very pleasant letter regretting her inability to be present. It was remarkable to note how good each was reported to have been and how varied were the memories called up by the many speakers. Mertie C. Brett also sent a letter of regret from her pleasant home at the National Military Soldiers Home in Dayton, Ohio. The first name on the roll was that of Mary E. Anderson, now Mrs. Sam. Coffin. She was absent on account of illness in her family, but sent her regrets from her home in Kansas City. Anna F. Brown, now Mrs. Gillett, was reported as living in Southern Kansas. Libbie E. Diggs, now Mrs. Harry Schaum and a resident of Lawrence, was unexpectedly absent. The name of Susan E. Bullene called forth a tribute from Prof. Snow (which was echoed by all the classmates) to the memory of the beautiful girl so lately among us as Mrs. E.C. Deveraux, and in whose death we were all so bereaved. Though lovely in school-days, she was more so as years went on and those who once knew her cannot but regret her early death. Lucy F: Gleason, now Mrs. R.K. Tabor, of Lawrence, was present and gave an account of herself. Claira Lopez, absent, was reported as living in Canton, Mass. Abbie E. Noyes, present. Still resides in Lawrence. Louisa Guest, now Mrs. Fred Wann, of St. Louis, was unable to be present, but hoped to meet at least the Lawrence friends later in the season. [We are informed that it was largely due to the active 2 �Emina V. Hadley, present, is now to be found at the National Bank of Lawrence. Ed. Farren, now of New Haven, Conn., was recalled as "the irrepressible," according to Gen. Fraser. Carrie M. Hunt was well remembered, though long since dead. Laban L. Kirk was the versatile genious of the class. Mr. Kirk sent a card from Wellsville, Mo., with the following business heading printed thereon: Fannie E. Kimball, now Mrs. Arthur Carruth, sent a letter from Las Vegas, New Mexico, where she now resides. "Wellsville Weekly Wide Awake, published by L.L. Kirk, attorney, notary, real estate and insurance agent." Byron N. Ro_ks was also happily present. He left the university in the sophomore year, financially unable to continue, but has since graduated from the law department of Ann Arbor, and is now established at Kansas City. Laura Morrow, now Mrs. Criley, of Emporia, was present to recall old times with the rest. Fannie Ross, Mrs. Nelson Bangs of Lawrence, answered present as in days gone by. Ernest Vliet was represented by letters expressing great regret at his inability to be present. He is now in Chicago, where he is passenger agent for the Chicago and Northwestern railroad. He is remembered as the funloving member, but is now the dignified, earnest man of business. Sarah Sarchet, absent and unheard from. Mary Sutherland, the artist of the class, now Mrs. Pickett of the Sac and Fox agency, Indian Territory, was also marked present. Jane Wright was reported dead. O.P Barber, now one of the leading druggists of Lawrence, lent his aid to the occasion in many ways. Gertrude Boughton, now Mrs. I.S. Blackwelder, of Chicago, related the even tenor of her way, reminding all that the happiest experience is least often told. Isaac T. Barker was reported dead. Emma Barber was absent on account of sickness. John P. Cone, absent, is now in business at Chanute, Kansas. Maggie Deming, now Mrs. Andrews, of Lawrence, was present. Charles H. Crew's sad fate in falling a victim to the Indians, was recounted by Prof. Snow. Mary Speer (Neff) was absent, but is a resident of Lawrence. Joseph Hood, absent, and residence unknown. Gertrude Welch and Belle Cronkhite, both of Lawrence, were present. The latter is now Mrs. Newlin. James Wickersham, a graduate in 1876, sent a letter from Dimon, Kan., saying he would be unable to be present. He studied in Europe for several years after leaving the university, and on his reutrn to the United States, published a Greek tragedy and a book of poems. The gentlemen of the class, present, were few. Of the absent ones, Frank Chadwick was reported as a farmer of Douglas county. John C. Donaldson, now postmaster at Sherman, Texas, was present and added much to the interest of the occasion. Ed. Chadwick is connected with a railroad at St. Louis. AI. Diggs, absent on his vacation, is a member of the postoffice staff at Lawrence. Henry C. Burnett, now connected with the Leavenworth Standard, sent regrets and best wishes to old schoolmates. Frank Dinsmoor, superintendent of schools for Douglas county, was present and had a fund of old memories, which brought forth many others, among which Prof. Folkman and Janitor McConagie were well remembered. De Forest Bigelow is located at East Lynne, Missouri, where he has an interest in a large mill. 3 �GEN. JOHN FRASER Of the many incidents brought to mind during the day. none seemed to touch the class more closely. or to affect them more deeply than those connected with that grand martyr to the cause of education. the former Chancellor of the University, Gen. John Fraser. Remarks highly eulogistic in nature were offered concerning that ripe scholar and entusiastic teacher. In the course of these remarks it was brought out that the plan of the University building. its splended adaptation to the purposes of education. indeed. its very existence. are due to the untiring enthusiasm. the unselfish generositity and persevering zeal of Chancellor Fraser in its behalf. Had the agitation of the movement been delayed but three months. it is almost a certainty that the new University building would yet be a dream of its friends; for within that time after the money was pledged by the city of Lawrence, the hard times came on. and there has probably been no time since in the history of the city when such an enterprise could have been pushed to asuccessful termination. This class. which entered the University with Gen. Fraser and left it when he did. has most appropriately and lovingly taken upon itself to prepare a fitting memorial of its cherished instructor and friend. The class calls upon any and all who were connected with it at any time from its beginning an 1867 to graduation in 1874. to aid in this grateful duty. Active measures have already been taken toward procuring a bust of President Fraser. which. when presented to the university. will probably occupy a place opposite that of another benefactor. Amos A. Lawrence. We doubt not that the faculty and regents of the university will be glad to accept such a gift. and assign it the position suggested. An organization of the class was effected with the following officers. all of Lawrence, Kan.; Frank F. Dinsmoor, president; Abbie E. Noyes. secretary; and O.P. Barber. treasurer. . LOCAL NEWS HELPS Sometimes microfilmed newspapers from the early 1900s can get you past a brick w~. If you know your ancestor (or a sibling) lived in . a small town, try ordering (by interlibrary loan) some films from the relevant state archive or other repository. Then read the "local . news" items about who came and went on visits. After reading through 40 hours worth of such newspapers for my greatgrandmother, I found one small notice that refened to a married sister "of Monmouth, Illinois" coming to visit. Taking that name, I found the sister and her husband listed in the 1900 cenSus. The "Number of Years Married" column suggested the year they had marrieci in the 1880s. Assuming they'd married at Monmouth, I asked the county clerk for their complete marriage record from that approximate year. When it came in the mail, I was pleased to see all the parents' names listed. Two of them. of course, were my own great-great-grandparents! A lot of work. yes, but I think it was worth it. This method worked after half a dozen dead ends did not. James A. Rogers Any information concerning former members of the class. (some of whom were doubtless overlooked) will be most thankfully received by the secretary. SEARCH BY INITIAL It was decided to hold another reunion some time during commencement week of next year. ABBIE E. NOYES. Secretary 4 Remember, in a searchable database, a person's record might be stored only under the first letter of the person's given name, rather than the complete given name. So when searching for John Smith. for example, try anotha" search for J Smith. But be sure not to enter any period after the iDitial. In some searchable databases (for example, the POP~ ~.com IUd RootsWeb.com SSDI databases), a P1lDctuation IIl8Ik will stop the search ensine cold, and it then will show zero hits. On the other hand. it seems that all search ensiJaes ~ fioe if the period after an initial is omitted. ArtKliDger Fort Worth, TX �BOOK REVIEWS.

TRICKS FOR READING TOMBSTONES When trying to read old tombstones at a cemetery, it is very useful to bring a flashlight and a large paper bag. Pull the bag over the stone, stick your head and the flashlight inside, and shine the light sideways on the inscription; you may be able to read an inscription you could not read before. This technique is used to study antique rock carvings and should work equally well on old tombstones. Another way is to do what blind people do--use your fingertips. Very often you can feel the inscription you are not able to read. Ulla Kristoffersen. Oslo, Norway - - ADJUSTING LIGHT AND DARK A stranger sitting next to me at an archive photocopier gave me this tip. If you are attempting to make a photocopy and the microfilm is very light, you are probably inclined to move the copier setting to "darker," thinking this will improve the quality of your copy. The likely result is that the copy is not any better. The trick is to move the copier setting farther down to "lighter," which actually lightens the background of the microfilm and makes the print appear darker. I tried it. It worked marvelously. I recommend it to others. Joseph Martin Romeoville, IL 7 �Your abstract may provide you with information from the past many times overlooked by those researching genealogy.

Other documents commonly noted in Abstracts might be: Marital Affidavit: May be used to tie in a name as being the same person, etc. Barbara Seiwald and Barbara Ann Seiwald. Homestead Affidavit: Used for the purpose of stating a particular residence as being the "Homestead" of the owner, generally used when the homeowner is attempting to sen his property, and has encumbered problems, etc. Federal Tax Liens, unpaid child support, judgments for debts, even Bankruptcy. Partition: This is an action brought to divide property owned by two or more persons, or if the same cannot be divided, to sen the property and divide the proceeds. Death Certificate: Used as proof of death of a landowner, most commonly a ''joint tenant" owner. Marriage Record: Used in the event the landowner has a change of name, for example Barbara A. Seiwald, formerly known as Barbara A Reid, (the name in which title is held). Separate Maintenance: This action, brought where divorce is not desired, but to compel the support of wife and family, involves the disposition of the property owned by the litigants. Quit Title Suit: This action is brought to eliminate or adjudicate an adverse claim against the plaintiff s ownership of a tract ofland. 11 �Rights of Majority: This action is brought by a minor asking the court to confer upon him or her the rights of majority, granting the rights of a person of full age. This allows a minor to convey or mortgage real estate in his own right. Specific Performance: This action is brought to compel compliance with the terms of a contract and often affects land ownership. For example, an owner signs a contract to sell land and then refuses to carry out the terms of the contract; in such case, the purchaser may bring a suit for Specific Performance. Quiet Title Suit: This action is brought to eliminate or adjudicate an adverse claim against the plaintiff's ownership ofa tract of land. Condemnation Proceedings: Suits brought by various governmental bodies or public corporations to take property for public use are suits in Condemnation. . Mechanic's and Materialmen's Liens: Such liens are filed with the Clerk of the District Court in the county where the real estate is located, setting forth the description of the property on which labor was performed or material furnished, together with a statement of the kind of labor or material furnished and the amount due. Divorce Proceeding: This action, brought to sever the relations of matrimony, involves the disposition of property owned by the litigants. Foreclosure: This is an action to foreclose upon a mortgage, contract of sale, lien, and such other instruments which may have been executed to secure the payment of money. Life Estates: An estate for life is one whose duration is limited by the life or lives of certain persons. All of which have an affect on real estate, whether you may be selling the property in question, or refinancing. You may need to read between the lines, nevertheless it all tells a story, and is a part of your genealogy research. 12 �Douglas County Title maintains a "title plant" which in essence is a "mini court house". We are the only company in Douglas County that has 24-hour access to all County records. We now have the convenience of "on line" information, however it does not pre-date 1990. Many of the above narned cases dated prior to 1990 would have an affect on real estate. For example a divorce, which could contain child support over an IS-year period. Another source of information might be the "Atlas of Eudora for the year 1921" "Atlas of Douglas County for the year 1902" We also have several City and Township Ownership maps. We have a complete alphabetical index, (now being entered on the computer), which is a very easy way to search, compared to running the alphabetical index at the Douglas County District Court. We hope to donate these cards to the Historical Society when our data entry is complete. The old courthouse books are in storage, and not readily·available for research. We maintain a complete set of geographical index books, one set predating 1917, beginning with the Government Patent. The only set of books in Douglas County. The courthouse records begin with the year 1917, as the early records were destroyed by Quantrill. LONGITUDE AND LATITUDE When I am lucky enough to find a town of ancestral interest in Ger.many or Russia (where names and boundary lines have changed many times), I note the longitude and latitude for quiC& reference on future maps. Deanna Greenwald Lingle, Wyoming POCKET PLUSSES When I go to a busy archives facility or large library to do research, I often have to lock my purse, notebooks, and most of my papers in a locker. I've found it helpful to wear slacks and a jacket with several pockets so I have a place to keep my pencil, pen (if per.m1tted), loose change for copiers, magnifying glass, tissue, a mint candy, etc. This allows me to keep my hands free for looking through records or filling out request for.ms. At times, I've even found it handy to indicate that my seat is taken by removing my jacket and hanging it over the back of my chair to indicate that someone is sitting there. A pile of books on the table doesn't necessarily do it, because they could have been left by the previous occupant of the space. Him Bryan -----.-- - .. .... _.- .. __ .._-_.. _-----13 �The two following excerpts are from letters that were found in a book in the Osma Room. They are handwritten so any errors are the editors in transcription. Omaha, Nebraska, December 12, 1954 Signed: Sallie . ... The Watkins came first and bought the farm. Then the Yarnolds came and settled across the road. In time they built a school house and I believe on a piece of the Yarnold farm and named it the Yarnold school house. My mother taught there and I have her old school bell. They finally sold out and all moved to town. They lived in the property that we all knew as the Woodard property. It was there they were living at the time of the. Quantrel(sic) Raid. Fay C. Moys. No date. I was born in Lawrence-as were my parents. Grandparents on both sides of the family came here before Quantrill's Raid. My mother's family came from Wales. After resigning from the staff of Watson Library, I joined a summer workshop in painting at the home of Prof RE. Johnson. Later I took several courses in sewing and two terms of millinery which I enjoyed very much. I am a member of Lawrence Art Guild and Writers Work Shop. I have had several poems published. I worked in Spooner Library then in Watson library. Had charge of reserve desk. Started at $33, 8 hours a day.( Monthly I believe: ed.) Later when Flande Flohnson Dahlene left to be married to Ed I was transferred to upst(?) of Sooner , $40.00 per month. When Proffessors found out about how low salaries were, we were advised to see the Chancellor which some of us did. He was surely surprised and gave me an increase of$20.00 per month making it $60.00 per month gradually climbed up to over $100.00. When the depression came salary was cut about $19.00 per month making salary about $88.00 per month. Lois Richardson (cousin) said that her mother, as a little girl lived with Grandma Moys after Lois' father passed away before the baby was born and her mother had to go to work. Her mother started as a clerk, I believe, in Albaugh's store and on her feet behind a store counter was paid $1.00 per day-8am to 6pm, 9-10 on Saturday night. PHOTO PEELING Recently, I was trying to remove old photos from a 1970s glue-on photo album. I was worried that the acid in the glue might react with the photos over time. Trying to pull off the photos resulted in tears, and I didn't want to destroy them. So I decided to use dental floss and slid it between the photos and the page. By going very carefully and slowly, I removed all of the photos with only an occasional small tear at an edge. The pressure of the floss is on the page. I will now be able to scan the photos into my computer and burn a CD-ROM to share with my cousins. Just a note, though: The first time you try it, pick a photo you have another copy of, or one that isn't too sentimental. Gaila Merrington �.. ,., ... Genealogy el,. .~.".

I really enjoyed it and appreciate your courtesy. Here is a check to cover the $1.00 fee you requested. If you meet anyone who would like correspond concerning Parman genealogy, feel free to give them my phone, address and/or e-mail address, as I am currently writing a book on the Parman family during the 18th and 19th centuries. Thanks again, &4(p~ Dave Parman P.S I am the son of Ralph Parman, s/o George Preston Parman, s/o Samuel Parman, s/o William Craig Parman, s/o Alex Parman, s/o Frethias Parman, s/o Giles Parman. My line comes out of Kentucky, from Laurel County, next to Knox County, where the original "Giles" was laid to rest. ON THE VIRUS WATCH With the rapid proliferation of viruses and worms, I have learned to update my virus checks at least once a week; in fact, I usually try to update them twice a week (Wednesday and Sunday.) This not only keeps my virus outlooks reasonably up to date, but it also takes much less time away from my genealogy work and home life! I also do not open any attachments that come from an unknown source or that have been forwarded to me without prior notice. If I am exceedingly curious about what I have been sent, I download the attachment to a floppy, scan the floppy for viruses, and then open it using the oldest machine in the house! Working in the public sector has taught me the damage these things can do, and I would much rather spend extra time checking for viruses than have my computer damaged.

Her address is Janet Larson, 10650 SW Lucas Drive, Tualatin OR 97062-8413. From Ms. Larson's letter: "An interesting item I found in the 1860-1861 city directory was the listing of Silas B. Norton as proprietor of the Eldridge House. I am aware of the role Shalor W. Eldridge played in the early history of the Lawrence area. Also, that he was born in West Springfield, MA, just a few years before Silas was born in Southampton, MA, not too far away. I understand from a publication of the Kansas State Historical Society, he married a Mary B. Norton. The surname, Eldridge, was given to the eldest son of Silas when he was born in 1859 and also to the second son of my maternal grandfather, Harry V.

SOUNDEX SEARCH TIP More often than not the four-character code in the upper left-hand comer of the 1900 Soundex cards is completely obscured. In such a situation, a logical first approach for locating the section of the microfilm containing the hidden Soundex Code is to look for the "header" cards which contain the one letter and three digits of cards in that section. Obviously that card appears following the final first names (the given names beginning with the letters W to Z) of the section preceding the one for which you are searching. In some instances even the header card is not legible. In that case, you may want to employ what historians call the "pothole method" of locating the desired Soundex Code rather than using the more time consuming method of laboriously searching through the reel page by page. For example, if you are searching for the surname Newcom for which the Soundex characters are N250 and you have fast-forwarded the film toa group which contains the name, Nesler, checking the code for Nesler reveals that you are looking at the N246 section of the film. Then if continuing to advance the film fairly rapidly brings it to the name, Newcomb, for which the code is N251 you have overshot your target, but only by one Soundex Code section and a slow reversal will take you into the desired Soundex section. From: Edward Holder, New Hampshire State Library. COLOR-CODED MAPS A thing that has been a great help to me in sorting out the families of my Webster family (maternal-Grandmother) are old maps that I have found in different books in our local family history center. I make a copy, then use different colored pens when I locate which county a part of the family settled in. When I find a new person, ifit tells the place of birth, marriage, death, etc., I have been able to sort out a lot of the families and who settled and remained where. Also listings of how the counties changed over time are a big help. Mary Belle Hockett. NUMBERS The next time you are feeling rather unimportant, try a little mathematical trick based on the fact that it took two people, your parents, to get you here. Each of your parents had two parents so in the generation just prior to that of your mother and father, there were four people whose pairing off and sharing a love contributed to your existence. You are the product of eight greatgrandparents, 16 great-great-grandparents, 32 great-great-great grandparents, etc. Keep on multiplying the number by two, you will discover that a scant 500 years ago, there were 1,040,576 people on this planet beginning the production of you. Tom Lynn. HIGHLIGHTERS AND PHOTOCOPIES Do not use a colored "highlighter" to mark out names in documents. Unless you use a color 42 �copier, you marks will come out solid black and you can't read what you have highlighted when you make a copy later. Arnold. MAKE A WISH LIST As I am going through my files, this is a perfect time to compile a list of the blanks that need to be filled in. I use a blank research log and title it "[Family name] to do list" and file it in the notebook that I take with me on research outings. This log won't be as detailed as the logs that I use to document the steps that I have taken (i. e. records requests sent, searches performed, publications consulted etc.), but instead may read like "need birth date for Thomas TOBIN." Once my organizational tasks are complete, I will go into more detail seeking sources that I can use to find this information. With my documentation inventory complete, I will consult the records I have for him, looking for clues in the data that I already have, and making a list of possible places I can search to find this information. 1890 CENSUS SUBSTITUTE When a basement fire in the Commerce Building in Washington D.C. destroyed most of the 1890 federal census, a valuable source of information was lost to researchers of America's past. Ancestry.com, with the aid of the National Archives and Records Administration and the Allen County Public Library, now provides the first definitive online substitute for the missing census. More that 20 million records have been identified for inclusion in the collection and additions will be made regularly as they become available for posting. It will include fragments of the original 1890 census that survived the fire, special veterans schedules, several Native American tribe censuses for years surrounding 1890, state censuses (1885 or 1895), city and county directories, alumni directories, and voter registration documents. When completed this collection will be an unparalleled tool for researchers of American ancestors. ANCESTRYCOM ANNOUNCES IMAGES ONLINE Ancestry.com is taking online genealogy to a new level by launching Images Online. Of great value to family historians and genealogists, the online images provide extensive detail that is only available by viewing the source document. Original American Civil War pension index cards are the first available images, and following soon will be top-quality images of U.S. censuses, 17901920. Images Online will provide Ancestry.com members with access to more online genealogical information than ever before. Ancetry.com is dedicated to saving its members time and money by allowing them to view and print documents that have traditionally been stored on microfilm or are only available in limited numbers of archives and libraries throughout the nation. Going beyond the detail of indexes an information summaries, the online images will provide extensive detail only available through original records. Stay tuned for more information! 43 �FROM DON VAUGHN I received this infonnation from another mailing list and thought I would pass it on. In the event you don't have a computer close at hand to do the calculating: REMEMBER 8870 That's not an error: It's the number to remember when you want to find the birthdate of someone when you only have the date of death and age. How do you figure the birthdate? Suppose the person died May 6, 1889 at the age of71 years, 7 months, 9 days. Write the year, month, dayas------18890506 Subtract the age at death--------------710709 This gives the figure-----------------181 79797 Now subtract 8870------------------------8870 The result is---------------------------18170927 Year 1817, 9th month(Sept), 27th day or 27 Sept, 1817. Cemetery photography If you have a lot of headstones to photograph, you might consider video taping them. My uncle went on a trip to England and discovered a church cemetery with about 1/4 of the people related to us. He took pictures of headstones and also video taped them, reading them out loud as he taped them. Some of the photographs were hard to read in the dim light but the video tape turned out great. Tony and Donna Ramey via Don Vaughn. ROOSEVELT FOUNTAIN IN SOUTH PARK The Countryside Garden club is inviting all citizens of Lawrence to participate in a project to restore the historic Roosevelt Fountain in South park. The total cost of the undertaking will probably be about $50,000, part of which will come from the city. If you are interested in helping with the project contact Mary Y. Allen and look at the brochures in the Osma Room in the Lawrence Public Library. RECOGNITION FOR KATHRYN BUNTON AND THE SOCIETY The Douglas County Genealogical Society has been the fortunate recipient of the genealogical collection of Kathryn 1. BUNTON, of Lawrence, KS. This includes ten bound scrapbooks concerning genealogy compiled by Beaulah Alice KEILMAN RICKETTS, mother of Kathryn BUNTON and compiled prior to Mrs. RICKETT'S death in 1973. These have been indexed by Miss BUNTON. This generous gift also included about 70 books on genealogy. 44 �This is another great example of what we all should consider! Unless you know that someone in your family will be interested in your collection (beyond your own"family tree" efforts) be sure to make provisions so that your books will go where they may be used and appreciated. This appeared in the Kansas Review volume 25, no 4, published by the Kansas Council of Genealogical Societies, Inc.

The results of the territorial census of 1855 are not included in review tables contained in later census reports because the data, arranged by districts, were not comparable to the county tauulations of the territorial census of 1859 and subsequent State censuses.31 After the organization of the State the first. census was taken in 1865. The results, howeyer, were incomplete and were never published. 3s The State Board of Agriculture conducted the censuses of 1875, 1885, 1895, 1905, 1915, and 1925-the last State census taken in Kansas prior to the repeal of the act governing these enumerations. In addition to the decennial censuses, 1875-1925, the State Board of Agriculture published in its annual and biennial reports annual statements of the population of the State by counties based upon enumerations carried out by assessors in compiling their tax lists.

The law which provided for the decennial census in years ending in 5 was repealed in 1933.44 Thus, no State census was taken in Kansas after 1925. The annual returns of the enumerations conducted by the assessors have continued to be published by the State Board of Agriculture in its Biennial Report. The report for the years 1943-44 gives the population of each county, number of farms and approximate land area, and the population of incorporated cities on March 1, 1944. .. For the most part the Biennial Report for 1895 and 1896 (P. 499-564) contains the same tables released previously In the quarterly reJlort cited above.

Dean, Miss May Dean, Master Frank Dean, L S. Steele and wife, Masters Charlie, Johnnie and Jimmie Steele, Mrs. E. M. Woodward, Misses Annie, Sadie, Katie and Mabel Woodward, Master Charlie Woodward, Ira L. Steele, Milton Shepherd· and family, Albert Shepherd, Carrie Shepherd, John Shepherd, and Miss Jennie Shepherd. A HAPPY ANNIVERSARY One of those happy occasions which makes us feel that life is worth living for, and that old age has its delights, occurred yesterday at the residence of Col. J. C. Steele, at Clinton. It was the anniversary of the fiftieth birthday of his daughter, Mrs. Dean. This is even better than a golden wedding celebration. The wedding anniversary to all happy married people is a time for happy memories, but the anniversary of the birth of a child, recalling, as it must, all the wonderful richness and fervor of the happiness of new parenthood, is something richer and better. Since writing the above we have learned that Mr. Jas. Steele, who resides at Emporia, this State, was unable to be present yesterday, much to the regret of those present. Col. Steele is one of the earliest settlers and one of our most influential and respected citizens. In honored and happy old age he now sits under his own vine and fig tree, and yesterday gathered under their shade all of his living children and grandchildren. All the relations from far and near were present, as well as a goodly number of neighbors; in all the company, numbering near one hundred. Dinner was served in an arbor erected for with the purpose, and beautifully decorated evergreens and flowers. The table fairly groaned under the weight of good cheer, and full justice was done to it by the friends whose ride there had given them appetites. After dinner the company assembled to hear an address from the host. Col. Steele is in his 76th year, but is in full mental and bodily vigor. He expressed the happiness he felt at seeing gathered around him all of his children and grand children. He spoke of the vicissitudes through which they had passed, the sad and happy hours they had known together. He alluded to the old age which was now stealing upon him and to the future to which they were all tending. His address was very appropriated and in many places very affecting. After his address various others were made by friends and neighbors, \ expres~ a kind feeling and the respect which mey au-telt for him and his estimable family, and many wishes were expressed that he might long live to enjoy in his pleasant home the repose and freedom from care which a long life of honest labor had earned for him. 57 .~ �BLOOMINGTON INDIANA DAILY STUDENT Oct. 14, 1929 DOWN COLLEGE AVENUE Down that College Avenue This department has moved down another College avenue, but it will continue to open its columns to those alumni who care to recall days at Bloomington. We have heard of the impress of L. U. Alumni in Missouri, but did you ever read a list of those who hold prominent positions in Kansas? There seem to have been many southern born students in the University before the war between the states but none from Kansas. Many of the early graduates, however, went to that state or settled there after roaming around in the West for a few years. According to the data in Wylie's History, the following list shows the name of those alumni who were citizens and had a part in the formation and life of the sunflower state. We can begin with the first class, 1831, because Michael Hummer, A. B., '30, was superintendent of public instruction in Kansas and a missionary there before his death in 1879. In the arts class of 1836, Matthew Monroe Campbell, who was in charge of the preparatory department under President Andrew Wylie, was agent for the American Bible Society in Kansas in 1859, and died in Topeka in 1897. Adam Marshall,A. B., '39, taught in Kansas for many years and died at Idana in 1866. David Wasson Stormont, A. B., '42, lived in the same city for many years after receiving his M. D. degree from the University of Pensylvania in 1860. He died in Topeka in 1887. Elam Hamilton Waugh, also of '39, received his M. D. in 1853 from the Eclectic Medical Institute (Cincinnati) and moved to Kansas. In 1862 he was made physician to the Leavenworth schools and also served as superintendent several years. In the trouble which took place in an effort to make Kansas a slave state, he lost his second son in the Quantrill raid on Lawrence. Dr. Waugh later moved to Colorado and died at Longmont in 1891. Samuel Newell DePew Martin, A. B. '46, was a missionary in Kansas four years and afterwards superintendent of a Indian industrial school in Nebraska. He died in Goldendale, Wash., in 1903. David Shuck, a member of Martin's class, lived in Lecompton for many years and taught and preached throughout Kansas. He died in 1901 and is buried at Hartsville, Ind. Robert Mitchel Overstreet, '48, a Presbyterian minister, was a member of the Kansas legislature and died in Emporia in 1915. A. H. Evans, LL.B., '48, practiced law for many years in Leavenworth and died there in 1893. John P. Greer, '49, also was a lawyer and died in Topeka in 1889. Robert Gaston Elliott, '50, together with Josiah Miller, '52, owned and edited the Kansas Free Press at Lawrence. The newspaper office was destroyed by border ruffians. Elliott was a trustee of the University of Kansas. Josiah Miller, '52, in addition to owning the Kansas Free Press, was elected probate judge of Douglas county in 1857. In 58 �1861 he was elected state senator but resigned to become postmaster of Lawrence. In 1863 he became a paymaster with the rank of major. In 1866 he was a member of the state 1egis1aure. The Kansas Free Press was an anti-slavery journal, and was destroyed by order of the territorial government in 1856, having been indicted by a pro-slavery jury as a nuisance. Shortly afterwards Miller was captured by pro-slavery forces and tried for treason against South Carolina, his native state. On his release he canvassed the West for John C. Fremont. To Miller Kansas is indebted for its seal with the motto "Ad astra per aspera." He died in 1870. William Wilson McMillan, '53, lived in Olathe for many years, where he was a Reformed Presbyterian preacher. He died in 1895. William Harrison Lemon, '54, was a physician at Lawrence for many years Werter Renick Davis, A. M., (honorary), '54, M. D. College of Physicians and Surgeons, Cincinnati, '58, was a physcian and had a D.D. degree from DePauw. He died in Baldwin in 1898. John Dodds Perring, '57, was a Presbyterian minister at Oak Hill for many years. He died in Brookville, O. John S. Carter, '58, lived at Auburn for many years before his death in 1912. He was buried in Wakarusa, Kansas. Samuel James Kahler, also of '58, was a county commissioner of Dickinson county, Kansas, and served a term in the state legislature.

Paul Jordan in his capacity as genealogist for the society receives many interesting requests for. information. This client is seeking any further information that is available. It holds a lot of interesting information in the family group sheets, etc. Portions ofa letter from Ms. Larson are included. Her address is Janet Larson, 10650 SW Lucas Drive, Tualatin OR 97062-8413. From Ms. Larson's letter: "An interesting item I found in the 1860-1861 city directory was the listing of Silas B. Norton as proprietor of the Eldridge House. I am aware of the role Shalor W. Eldridge played in the early history of the Lawrence area. Also, that he was born in West Springfield, MA,just a few years before Silas was born in Southampton, MA, not too far away. I understand from a publication of the Kansas State Historical Society, he married a Mary B. Norton. The surname, Eldridge, was given to the eldest son of Silas when he was born in 1859, and also to the second son of my maternal grandfather, Harry V. Norton, both as middle names." 31 �Family Group Sheet 16 Mar 2000 Husband Silas Bartholomew NORTON 1,2,3 t;;t'.i 1 Aug 1823 Southampton, Hampshire, MA• I:;~F Mar 1899 8 Mar 1899 Fort Collins, Larimer, CQ4 Gr~dview Cemetery, Fort Collins, Larimer, CQ4 New Orleans, Orleans, LA Birth f~0:;;: Death ~';~ Burial ;t.;~ Divorce 7 Jun 1853 1 Oct 1875 ~I~ ~ ~a;8!~33 Marriage Douglas County, KS ~;~~ Other spouse Caroline M.

SOUNDEX SEARCH TIP · More often than not the four-character code in the upper left-hand comer of the 1900 Soundex .cards is completely obscured.

In that case, you may want to employ what historians call the "pothole method~' of . . ...• ioeatiIig the desired Soundex Code rather than using the more time consuming method of . . laboriously searching througli fue reel page by page. For example, if you are searching for.~e surname Newcom for which the Soundex characters are N250 and you have fast-forWarded the film toa group which contains the name, Nesler, checking the code for Nesler reveals that you are looking at the N246 section of the film.

The results, howenr, were incomplete and were never published.as The State Board of Agriculture conducted the censuses of 1875, 1885, 1895, 1905, 1915, and 1925-the last State census taken in Kansas prior to the repeal of the act governing these enumerations. In addition to the decennial censuses, 1875-1925 the State Board of Agriculture published in its annual and biennial r~ports annual state~ents of ~he population of the State by counties based upon enumerahons carrIed out by assessors in compiling their tax lists.

J. C. Steele, at Clinton. It was the anniversary of the fiftieth birthday of his daughter, Mrs. Dean. This is even better than a golden wedding celebration. The wedding anniversary to all happy married people is a time for happy memories, but the anniversary of the birth of a child, recalling, as it must, all the wonderful richness and fervor of the happiness of new parenthood, is something richer and better. Col. Steele is one of the earliest settlers and one of our most influential and respected citizens. In honored and happy old age he now sits under his own vine and fig tree, and yesterday gathered under their shade all of his living children and grandchildren. All the relations from far and n~r were present, as well as a goodly number of neighbors; in all the company, numbering near one hundred. Dinner was served in an arbor erected for with the purpose, and beautifully decorated evergreens and flowers. The table fairly groaned under the weight of good cheer, and full justice was done to it by the friends whose ride there had given them appetites. After dinner the company assembled to hear an address from the host. Col. Steele is in his 76th year, but is in full mental and bodily vigor. He expressed the happiness he felt at seeing gathered around him all of his children and grand children. He spoke of the vicissitudes through which they had passed, the sad and happy hours they had known together. He alluded to the old age which was now stealing upon him and to the future to which they were all tending. His address was very appropriated and in many places very affecting. After his address various others were made by friends and neighbors, expressing a kind feeling and the respect which they all felt for him and his estimable family, and many wishes were expressed that he might long live to enjoy in his pleasant home the repose and freedom from care which a long life of honest labor had earned for him. 57 .:... The following is a list of the relatives 'that were present: Col. Steele and wife, Mr.' and Mrs. R.. A Dean, Mr. J. H. Dean, Mr. Chas.. DeSri, Miss May Dean, .Master Frank Dean; .l. S. Steele arid wife, Masters Charlie, Johnnie and Jimmie Steere, Mrs. E. M. Woodward, Misses Annie, Sadie, Katie and Mabel Woodward, Master Charlie Woodward, Ira L Steele, Milton Shepherd' and _ fan'lily, AI~rt Shepherd, Carrie Shepherd, John Shepherd, and Miss Jennie Shepherd. . .' " :. . . . Since writing the above we have learned that' Mr. Jas. Steele, who resides at Empcjria," this State, was unable to be present yesterday; much to the . regret of those present. �BLOOMINGTON INDIANA DAILY STUDENT Oct. 14,1929 DOWN COLLEGE AVENUE Down that College Avenue This department has moved down another College avenue, but it will continue to open its columns to those alumni who care to recall days at Bloomington. We have heard of the impress of L. U. Alumni in Missouri, but did you ever read a list of those who hold prominent positions in Kansas? There seem to have been many southern born students in the University before the war between the states but none from Kansas. Many of the early graduates, however, went to that state or settied there after roaming around in the West for a few. years. According to the data in Wylie's History, the following list shows the name of those alumni who were citizens and had a part in the formation and life of the sunflower state. We can begin with the first class, 1831, because Michael Hummer, A. B., '30, was superintendent of public instruction in Kansas and a missionary there before his death in 1879. In the arts class of 1836, Matthew Monroe Campbell, who was in charge of the preparatory department under President Andrew Wylie, was agent for the American 'Bible Society in Kansas in 1859, and died in Topeka in 1897. Adam Marshall,A. B., '39, taught in Kansas for many years and died at Idana in 1866. David Wasson Stormont, A. B., '42, lived in the same city for many years after receiving his M. D. degree from the University of Pensylvariia in 1860. He died in Topeka in 1887. E1am Hamilton Waugh, also of '39, received his M. D. in 1853 from the Eclectic Medical Institute (Cincinnati) and moved to Kansas. In 1862 he was made physician to the Leavenworth schools and also served as superintendent several years. In the trouble which took place in an effort to make Kansas a slave state, he lost his second son in the Quantrill raid on Lawrence. Dr. Waugh later moved to Colorado and died at Longmont in 1891. Samuel Newell DePew Martin, A. B. '46, was a missionary in Kansas four years and afterwards superintendent of a Indian industrial school in Nebraska. He died in Goldendale, Wash., in 1903. David Shuck, a member of Martin's class, lived in Lecompton for many years and taught and preached throughout Kansas. He died in 1901 and is buried at Hartsville, Ind. Robert Mitchel Overstreet, '48, a Presbyterian minister, was a member of the Kansas legislature and died in Emporia in 1915. A. H. Evans, LL.B., '48, practiced law for many years in Leavenworth and died there in 1893. John P. Greer, '49, also was a lawyer and died in Topeka in 1889. Robert Gaston Elliott, 150, together with Josiah Miller, 152, owned and edited the Kansas Free Press at Lawrence. The newspaper office was destroyed by border ruffians. Elliott was a trustee of the University of Kansas. Josiah Miller, 152, in addition to owning the Kansas Free Press, was elected probate judge of Douglas county in 1857. In 58 �1861 he was elected state senator but resigned to become postmaster of Lawrence. In 1863 he became a paymaster with the rank of major. In 1866 he was a member of the state legislaure. The Kansas Free Press was an anti-slavery journal, and was destroyed by order of the territorial government in 1856, having been indicted by a pro-slavery jury as a nuisance. Shortly afterwards Miller was captured by pro-slavery forces and tried for treason against South Carolina, his native state. On his release he canvassed the West for John C. Fremont. To Miller Kansas is indebted for its seal with the motto "Ad astra per . aspera." He died in 1870. . William Wilson McMillan, '53, lived in Olathe for many years; it', where he was a Reformed Presbyterian preacher. He died in 1895. William Harrison Lemon, '54, was a physician at Lawrence.for . many years Werter Renick Davis, A. M., (honorary), '54, M. D. College of Physicians and Surgeons, Cincinnati, '58, was a physcian and had a . D.D. degree from DePauw. He died in Baldwin in 1898. John Dodds Perring, '57, was a Presbyterian minister at Oak Hill for many years. He died in Brookville, O. John S. Carter, '58, lived .at Auburn for many years before his death in 1912. He was buried in Wakarusa, Kansas. Samuel James Kahler, also of '58, was a county commissioner of Dickinson county, Kansas, and served a term in the state legislature. He later moved west and died in Los Angeles in 1912. . Robert Campell McKinney, of the same class, was a Presbyterian minister at Newton before going to California. He died in 1903 at Ft. Bragg. Calif. . . John Watts, '61, the last class we will include, was a national bank examiner and receiver for insolvent banks in Kansas. He . died at Newton in 1925. The earlier I. U. alumni in the state seemed to have a creditable position in its development. --K.W.F. TENTATIVE SCHEDULE of programs for Fall, 2000.

It wil1 be sponsored by the Kansas Authors Club and the Douglas County Genealogical Society. It will be from 9:30am to 4:30pm, with an hour from 12 to 1 for lunch on your own. Enrollment is first come, and the fee is $45. The auditorium will seat 100 people, so enroll early. There will be application information in the Osma Room and from the Kansas Authors Club. Charley Kempthorne has been teaching people how to write about their lives since 1976, when he started the first "reminiscence'workshop" in the nation. Like many students in his workshops, he has been a writer all of his life, keeping a diary as a child and using his earnings from farm work to buy a typewriter at the age of 11. He painted the keys of the typewriter with luminous paint so that he could write after his parents said lights out. (It didn't work.) Charley has degrees in writing and history from the University of Kansas, as well as an M.F.A. from the famed Iowa Writer's Workshop at the University ofIowa. A fonner college professor, farmer, and painting contractor, in 1991 he founded the LifeStory Institute and, with his wife, LifeStory Magazine, which he has edited ever since. June Fritz Kempthorne grew upon a Kansas farm. In college she won prizes for her art, exhibited in several national shows and won the Governor's Prize at.Kansas State University, where she took a B.F.A. in printmaking in 1972. F or many years she owned and operated a ' paperhanging and painting business. Co-founder with her husband, Charley, of LifeStory Magazine, she is now the art director and publisher. June assists in the workshops in many capacities, and presents a segment on how to layout and design one's writing and photographs for publication. Together she and her husband have presented workshops in more than twenty states and Canada. There is a complete file of LifeStory Magazine in the Osma Room, donated by Gene Bovee. Barb Seiwald, who works at the Douglas County Title Company, will speak to us about "Abstracts of Douglas County," on Saturday, May 6, at the Lawrence Pub1ic Library. She has been instrumental in getting many Douglas County abstracts to the Society. She has used these abstracts to :(urther her genealogical research and will share a lot of this information with us.

Don't make your descendants wait seventy-two years to see your 2000 census information. Photocopy the form before you mail it back and place the copy in your genealogy files. -Jim Guth. Misspellings. When ordering a vital record (birth. death. marriage, etc.), it is always important to list any 3 �possible variations in the spelling ofthe surname that you would like them to check. I recently ordered a death record for my great grandfather, Wi1liam Henry Hortman, who died in 1920. I was quite disappointed when a letter came back saying no record was found, although I knew the specific date and place where he died. Someone urged me to try different combinations of his name. I knew that I had seen Hortman misspelled as Hartman on some documents, So called the records office back and asked them to check it as Hartman. Bingo! Although the name on the· death record itself was spelled correctly, the index had it misspelled as Hartman. The clerk explained that she had checked various spellings on the reel of microfilm where Hortman was listed, but Hartman was on another roll and she would never have thought to check it if! hadn't requested it. -Judy Reed. Adding biographical text. Recently I decided to put all my family tree information into narrative form so that it would be easy to understand for my non-genealogist relatives. I printed a five-generation chart and then, going numerically, wrote a short narration for each person on the chart. I included source information right in the text, writing the census information exactly as the family was listed. I intended on making this easy for my family to understand, but it has benefited me immensely. Instead of looking through separate files for birth, marriage, wills, etc., I can simply look at my narrative and it is all there together. I included where I had looked and whether or not there . were records found. This project has made it very easy to see if I have overlooked certain search options for that individual. I have saved the information on my hard drive and on a disk, and so updating the narrative will be easy. I wish I had done this a long time ago. -Brenda. Census page copies payoff When doing census .work, be sure to copy the whole page and not just abstract your family. I did just that the other day and it paid off. When 1 got home 1 was looking through the Ancestral File and found the family along with a listing of brothers and sisters of the gentleman I was looking for. I got out my copied census and who was two houses away? None other that his married sister. I got two families with one push of the copy button. -Janet Newell Rootsweb Review and Missing Links Myra Vanderpool Gormley and Julia Case are the creators of theSe "e-zines."

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

Ii!iI age 6 • heart murmur 10 Irregularity began under age 50 = heart aHack �(This is an adaptation of an article from the August 1994 issue of Good Housekeeping by Carol Krause. She is the author of the book How Healthy Is Your Family Tree?) HOW TO RESEARCH YOUR MEDICAL FAMILY TREE Ifit weren't for knowing her family's medical history, Cindy Leffew might be dead. Last year, when she was 31, Cindy felt a burning sensation from her shoulders down to her wrists. At first, she didn't pay much attention to it. But when the episodes persisted, she went to her doctor, and mentioned to him that her mother had suffered a heart attack at age 43. Her doctor referred her to a heart specialist, who encouraged her to find out as much as she could about her family's medical history. Cindy learned (see the accompanying "tree") that her mother's brother had died of a heart attack at age 45, and her maternal grandmother had had two heart attacks, the first at age 45, and a fatal attack at 64. Cindy's heart doctor ordered some preliminary tests, which showed little. But because of her family history of heart disease, the doctor ordered something rare for a female patient of her age-a heart catheter test. Cindy was shocked when it reveled an 80 percent blockage in one of her main arteries. She immediately underwent heart bypass surgery, which may well have saved her from a possible fatal heart attack. Medical family trees have long been used to counsel prospective parents with family histories of hereditary childhood abnormalities, such as Down's syndrome, cystic fibrosis, hemophilia, muscular dystrophy, and sickle-cell anemia. But scientists have recently discovered that many serious adult illnesses-most notably cancer, heart disease. and diabetes-can have strong genetic links. Knowing about the health of your relative, then, could have a vital impact on you and your family's future health. Here's how you can make your own tree: GATHERING TIlE FACTS Make a list of everyone in your family, including your parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins, as well as your children. To construct the tree, use the chart with this article as a model. Draw squares for males and circles for females. (This wiI1help a doctor quickly identify gender-related illnesses.) In each square or circle, enter these simple facts: major illnesses, age at onset of iHness, and both cause of and age at death. To find this information: 1. Ask older relatives to tell you about deceased family members. 2. Save medical records. It is helpful to have as many details as possible about a relative's illness. For example, if someone died of a heart attack, did he or she have high cholesterol (a condition that can be hereditary),high blood pressure, a heart defect? Did he or she smoke? 3. Collect death certificates of family members as far back as great-grandparents, if possible. They often indicate the specific cause of death. If you can't find a certificate for an ancestor, and you know in which state he or she died, call or write the state capital and ask how to get a copy of the death certificate. INTERPRETING YOUR TREE . Pay close attention to the illnesses of "first-degree" relatives (parents, siblings, children) WIth whom you share the most genes. But if you see a pattern of an illness among any relatives, ask your family doctor to refer you to a specialist in t~at disease. You should take quick action 11 �if you see the following information on your family tree: 1. Two first..<fegree relatives with the same or similar cancers. (Note: Breast, uterine, ovarian, and colon cancers can be genetically related.) 2. One first..<fegree relative with heart disease, life threatening diabetes, or cancer that was diagnosed before he or she was 50. Early onset of an illness can signal a genetic link. USING WHAT YOU KNOW If you learn you are at risk for a certain disease, you can immediately make nutritional and life-style changes. For instance, if you discover you may have a genetic predisposition to hardening of the arteries (arteriosclerosis), that may be the incentive you need to stop smoking. If you seem to be at risk for colon cancer, you might be encouraged to switch to a low-fat, highfiber diet and to schedule periodic colon tests. Ifbreast cancer is common in your family, you may be more diligent about doing monthly breast self-exams and scheduling yearly mammograms. But the benefits of knowing your family's genetic probabilities go far beyond the traditional advice abOut life-style and nutrition changes and regular screenings. People at high risk for certain diseases may be advised to undergo preventive surgery to give them peace of mind (such as removal of ovaries for women at high risk of ovarian cancer). IN THE FUTURE . You can also get ajump start on an even more startling approach to health care. In the next few years, gene therapy will take astonishing leaps and bounds in three ways: 1. in the embryo. Already, a handful of couples who carry genes for either cystic fibrosis of Tay-Sachs disease have given birth to healthy babies using 8. new technique that includes in vitro fertilization. When the embryos (fertilized in a test tube) are only four or eight cells large, they are checked for the defective gene. Only those embryos that are free ofthe defective gene are implanted in the woman's uterus. 2. In the ill child. The first successful use of gene therapy occurred in September 1990 at the National Institute of Health (NIH). A four-year-old girl was ill with ADA (adrenosine deaminase) deficiency, a rare disease which wipes out the immune system. (The "boy in the plastic bubble" had ADA.) NIH doctors gave the girl iI\iections of the missing ADA gene, and four years later, she's doing fine. 3. In ill adults. Gene alterations have been tried, with some success, on a small number of terminally ill brain and lung cancer patients, as well as on patients with a family history of very high cholesterol. Once deadly genes are identified, we can look for them in our blood. But we will be well into the twenty-first century before a low-cost, comprehensive test is available to the public. Until then, learning about your medical family tree may be the best way to ensure you get the tests and intervention you need. 12 �FROM UNBROKEN SOD TO PAVED ROADS Sees Old Pass On, Speed Eras Dawn Otto Durow, Big Springs Blacksmith for Half a Century, Pioneer Traveler, Mineral Locator Storehouse of Early Kansas History, Still Stands at his Flaming Forge. By Mrs. Howard Henry Copied from the Topeka Daily Capital-Sunday, Jan. 13, 1929: He sharpened the plowshares that broke the sod about Big Springs. Today he repairs tractors--plows that turn over ten feet of soil at one time. He saw the covered wagons that carried thousands of homeseekers into a new land. Today he sees thousands flit past his door in high-power motor cars or huge interstate buses, on a wellpaved highway, U. S. No. 40. Looking upward he sees an occasional airplane skimming thru the ethereal blue, and wonders at the changes time and genius have brought upon the land he helped reclaim from the wilderness that was pioneer Kansas. Otto Durow, of Big Springs, Douglas county, is near the eO-year mark. He settled in the community where he has made his home all these years, when there was nothing but a trail. Big Springs was one of the stopping places on the Old Oregon Trail. Dwindles Away, Comes 8ack. It became quite a place with hotels, parks, stores, saloons and other accouterments of frontier towns. Then it dwindled away someWhat, but just. now is coming back into its own. The postoffice was taken away, and citizens are trying to get it back. The t~lepho~e e~change was moved away, and now Big Springs IS large enough to support another. Mr. and Mrs. Durow recently celetrated their 50th wedding anniversary. They have lived all their married lives in the same house, one of the first erected in Kansas territory. They saw the covered wagon caravans streaming over the naked prairie. They saw the border ruffians come and go, in their pla~es coming SOI!d citizenry that has made the Big Spnngs community one of the finest and most prosperous in the state. Railroads Chose Lower Paths. .The railroad passed them by, choosing the easier g?lng a~ong ~he Kaw river, three miles to the north. Big Spnngs IS located on the high divide between the Kaw and Wakarusa watershed. U. S. No. 40 follows this divide thru its entire length, from Topeka to Lawrence, passing directly thru Big Springs. Being the only blacksmith, pioneer travelers beat a path to Durow's shop door. Of them he heard the latest gossip, news of Indian massacres further west, latest political happenings in the East, and all the trail news worth relating. Big Springs was the wa~ering and camping places and several large spnngs furnished an abundance of fine water. Durow can show curious persons the location of the old Pickens hotel and barroom where the first temperance crusade in Kansas began. Barrels of whisky were rolled out into the street and burned. Points to Noted landmarks~ He also can point out fragmentary portions of foundations of early buildings, when Big Springs was quite a little city. Where the city park, with water piped from the springs, furnished trysting place for youthful lovers; where old churches flourished and passed into oblivion; where the old Harper House, another noted hostelry s, stood just east of the first United Brethren church in Kansas, with the latter's foundation stones crumbling into dust; traces of the old Oregon and California roads; the exact location of the old log cabin where two girls sold liquor in successful defiance of the temperance adherents; the foundation of the first legislative hall in ~ansa; the building where the famous "rump legislature" held its session; the approximate location of the hiding place of a Pot of gold, hidden by a scared emigrant on his way to California All of these and more can Otto Durow show to those who seek his home in search of historical data.. ~or he is a gold mine of information on things pe~alnlng to early Kansas history. For all his years he IS remarkably active, mentally and physically. But he and Mrs. Durow enjoy the best of health, livil19,in their original home built of solid walnut lumber to endure for ages. '. When News Sprea-d Slowly. In the early days, Big Spring~received its ma;l by star route between Topeka and Lawrence. Except for the ever present travelers, news spread slowly. No newspapers reached Big Springs for years after the territory was settled. The United Brethren church burned down one week-day night. Members came in on Sunday, one bringing an org~ to furnish music. They were surprised to find their house of worship in ruins. It never was rebuilt. A new one was later erected in another location. Ox teams was the favorite motive power in those days. Lumber for the Durow house, equal to any modern home, was hauled from the Kaw bluffs. Weather-boarding is one and one-half inches thick of solid walnut. ' 13 .., �The story of the pot of gold is vivid in Durow's memory. A train of "prairie schooners' came acoss the ferry at Lecompton. The train reached Big Springs just as rumors came that Indians had attacked and wiped out the settlement at Topeka, then just a small village. The wagon master and the crippled cook took a pot of gold coins and dug a hole deep in the ground near one of the many springs in the vicinity. Old settlers recall that the wagon-master and cook paid a visit to the log cabin where the two girls sold liquor. Next morning. in muddled state of mind, they went west. Some 15 years later the cook returned. He, spent weeks hunting for the treasure. But Couldn't Find His Gold. Changed topography thru erosion mixed him up until he couldn't tell heads nor tails of the country. He didn't find the gOld. Ever since Big Springs folks have hunted for the pot of gold, but with no success whatever. Durow is somewhat of a mineralogist. He has a contrivance which he claims is 100 per cent perfect in finding oil, gas and other minerals. He calls it a "Minemeter: It is a queer looking "Dingus: composed of two copper or brass rods, fastened together at one end, with an aperture for holding a flat magnatized disc. He has a disc for each of the more common minerals. If he wants to locate gOld, for instance, he inserts the disc that is attracted by gold. Then he places one of the rods in his mouth, the other held tightly by both hands. Walking over the prospect grounds, the disc dips if mineral of that particular kind is beneath. Locates Rich Oil Fields Mr. Durow has been given credit for locating several of the richest oil fields in Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas. He also has located minerals in Missouri, Arkansas, Arizona, Nevada, Colorado and other states. Durow is a great traveler. He likes to hit the trails where man seldom travels. In his car he went to Grand Canyon recently. He camped at a cabin with two other men. The auto road ended five miles from the cabin. The nearest town was 50 miles away. His two companions went for provisions one day and Durow went exploring. Seeing a tunnellike formation, he entered and started walking, looking back occasionally to make sure the opening he had entered did not excape. After about a mile he saw a light the other way. Coming out in a deep well he looked upward hundreds of feet. The only egress was back thru the tunnel. Then he got scared. What if bears or cougars made this their den? He made haste that no 80-year-Old man would make, unless frightened. But the only sign of life he saw as a starved meadow lark. No wild animals infested that territory. There was nothing to eat--but rocks. Rocks of all colors and, hues. Escapes Barely With Life. Recently he spent a night in a hotel at Belleville, Tex. It was a new hotel, open the first time that night. About midnight Durow was awaken'ed by the smell of smoke. He awakened his companions and excaped just as the building fell in. It was burned to the ground. Another time he ran into a flooded region, drove 48 hous without sleep in order to keep an appointment some 50 miles away. Tired" He denies that the long drive affected him in the least, despite his 80 years. Durow can tell interesting stories of his travels and of pioneer Kansas by the hour. He is an excellent storehouse of knowledge on many subjects. Mrs. Durow enjoys life with the same zest that she did 50 years ago when she mamed the then young blacksmith and most important artisan in the town. As will be noted in the accompanying pictures, they look nearly alike. This similiarity often is noticed in couples, well mated, and who are of the same mental temperament. Community Pays Tribute The whole community of Big Springs pays tribute to Mr. and Mrs. Durow. They are the oldest inhabitants of the place, tho several others can almost equal their record. Often Mr. and Mrs. Durow grow reminiscent. Their young neighbors gather about and listen, wide-eyed and breathless, to the hair raising tales of actual life in a new country, with none of the modern conveniences. Or they stand at the door of the little blacksmith shop and listen to the flaming, forge and the anvil chorus as the veteran smithy adds finishing touches to a piece of machinery, the like of which was not in existence 50 years ago. Note: The writer Mae Henry of this article was a teacher in this community. The old Durow home is still standing and liveable and is owned by one of her grandsons. ******************************************************** Another article on the hi story of Big Springs written by Wm.

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

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

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

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

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

On 27 April 1999, I attended a meeting at the home of Loretto Szucs, vice president of publishing for Ancestry.com. In attendance were thirty genealogical leaders from Il1inois, Wisconsin, and Indiana. The guest of honor was Dr. John Daly, director of the Il1inois State Archives, who spoke about the article he wrote for the May/June 1999 issue of Ancestry Magazine, titled "Genealogical Power." Dr. Daly reminded family historians that they are the principal users of public archives in the United States, and as such should wield their power to shape their own destiny. The article is being reprinted below, and will also be available online at: http://www.ancestry.com/magazine/articles/genpower.htm. To subscribe to Ancestry Magazine: http://shop.myfamily.comlancestrycatalog/product.asp?dept%5Fid=30000000&pf1'IoFid=26245 The following article was adapted from a speech given by Dr. John Daly, Director of the Illinois State Archives, at the lJIinois State Genealogical Society Conference, 23 October 1998.' 'I I should begin by stating that I am writing not as a genealogist, but as a working archivist. My opinions arise from what I see of genealogists from that viewpoint and, thereby, what I see, as strategic courses useful to genealogists. .. -',. By the term "genealogical power," I mean the leverage that genealogists and family historians have upon public archival agencies in the United States-or the power that they should exercise as the overwhelming majority of users of those archives. Archimedes sai<L regarding the simple yet powerful tool, the lever, "Give me but a point on which to stand and with it I could move the earth itself." Family historians need a point to stand upon in order to utilize the powerofthe lever that they hold. I wiH explain what I mean by this. Archives are not natural features of American society. They have never grown normal1y out of administrative practice in business corporations, universities, or out of governments at the national, state, county, or city level. In the event that anyone assumes that public archives have always existed in the United States, please recall that for one hundred and forty-five years after the establishment of the federal government in 1789, there was no such institution as the National Archives ofthe United States. No business archives existed until the 1940s, no university archives until the 1960s, and the archives of museums and other cultural institutions did not begin to be formed imtil after the bicentennial observation of 1976. The evidence for this neglect is widespread, but I will not belabor it. Only a few illustrations are worthwhile. When George Washington left the office of the presidency in 1797, he offered his papers to the care of Congress as property of the nation. Congress reacted with indifference and no president offered his files to the government's care again until Franklin Roosevelt. In 1810 a federal report noted that U, S. public records were in "a state of disorder, neither safe nor conve~ient nor honorable to the nation." In the early 1830s Alexis de TocquevilJe observed that among Americans, "nobody bothers about what was done before his time. No archives are formed~ no documents are brought together, even when it would be easy to do so." But if there was for so long no public governmental interest in archival agencies in the United States, how did those archives come to be created? Public archives in America grew from demands by groups outside of official administrative structures.. According to Ernst Posner, the basis of American archival development was completely "a response to the ... insistently presented demands of the scholarly world." In this case we must give the funest credit to the American Historical Association and its membership. Without the persistent efforts of that organization, which began over one hundred years ago in 1893 and culminated in 1934, we would not have the National Archives today or any of the state archives. The American Legion offered crucial support to the movement as well, representing yet another outside interest that demanded the establishment of public archival services. ' -2- �But something happened The.American Historical Association, which had basically founded the' National Archives and state archives, withdrew from the field of archival activity. 1 realize this is an extreme statement for me to make, but it is true in a relative sense. The earliest public clientele of the National Archives and state archives, their justification and support, were chiefly professional historians, but there are not many of them. Over the past sixty years, from 1936 to 1996, approximately 38,000 doctoral degrees in history were awarded in the United States. Of that amount, perhaps a third are now retired from active work. Even if an of the academic historical researchers now in practice or in university training made the fullest use of public archival depositories in the United States, they could not come close to representing a substantial percentage of the persons who consult those depositories year after year. Family historians and genealogists have replaced academic researchers as the principal users of public archives in the United States. The combined memberships of the American Historical Association and the Organization of American Historians today is 28,000. A study published in American Demographics in December 1995 cited that 113 million Americans have some interest in genealogy, and that 19 million have a strong working interest in the field. An unacknowledged user study of the National Archives and its Suitland facility for 1991 cited 370,000 "user visits" of which 54% to 80% were devoted to family history and 16% to 20% to academic studies. The Newberry Library of Chicago found that 60% of all the reference services it provides are devoted to genealogy. In 1998 the fllinois State Archives delivered 840,000 reference activities of which at least 80% were relate,d to family history. If the adniinistrators of public archives in the United States had to rely upon the use of archives by academic researchers alone to justify the existence of archives, they would find it extremely difficult to do so. So what can, or should, genealogists do about these clear. facts? How can they use them as the "point on which to stand" to put to work the leverage of the overwhelming client figures that they represent? Al10w me to make a few suggestions. 1. Go on strike; stop going to the archives. What would happen? Reports to Congress would show that use of the National Archives had plummeted 50% to 80%. I would have to report to the Illinois Secretary of State that use of Illinois state archives bas dropped by 85%. The'same effect would occur at almost every state, county, and city archives in the United States. I admit this is a rash piece of advice, and unworkable, but view it as simply a graphic iIlll;Stration of tbe power genealogists have in their hands to affect the policies and practices of public archives in the United States. 2. Emphasize the term family history for your work. Genealogy is a word that has unfortunate echoes in the popular American mind. But the word "history" is favored by newspaper, writers, tourism promoters, editorial . columnists, and community leaders. It can stampede American candidates for public office. I found it useful and effective tha~ the 1998 FGS meeting in Cincinnati was entitled "Immigrant Dreams: The Settlement of America." These sorts of terms talk more directly to more citizens. 3. Demand better hours of access to archives. You represent a public who wishes to consult public records in a public building supported by public tax donars. You have replaced scholars as archives' clientele. Yet archives' reading rooms are still open chiefly at hours that serve the convenience of scholars or the archives' staff, but not yours. Public libraries have extended their hours beyond 9 to 5. Drivers license facilities are open on evenings and on Saturdays and Sundays as well. Even banks have changed their old limited hours to accommodate the public. Why not archives as well? 4. Challenge th.e fees for copies of records. Most of the costs you are charged for copie~ of records are designed chiefly to prevent you from asking for them. You can defy any agency to produce a valId cost study that would justify those charges. A rationale for them once existed when, if you requested a record, a clerk had to stop -3- = �other work for an appreciable time to make one by hand. But in the world of copiers those charges are anachronistic. Notify your archivist that fees should be revised drastically or scrapped completely. 5. Do not waste efforts in support of open records legislation. This may appear to be contradictory advice, but I give it from the viewpoint of an archivist, as I mentioned at the beginning of this artic1e. Such laws have always promised more than they deliver, and their existence is delusory enough to sidetrack or delay more effective methods that family historians may take to advance their jnterests. Much more might be said on this subject, but I will leave it at only this: ask yourself when heralded Freedom ofInformation Acts or Open Records Laws have ever really been of assistance to researchers in gaining necessary information from archives, court houses, or vital records offices. Anyone reading this article understands that the individual issues I have discussed are only part of the broader problem-public agencies' seemingly inherent bias against responding to requests by the public for access to records. Government agencies are fertile with reasons why citizens can not have access to information. And the evil is rooted more deeply in the fundamental attitudes of officeholders, even those at the most responsible levels. The Archives Listserv recently presented an account in the Houston Chronicle'S September 1998 coverage of Texas investigative hearings concerning Texas' Open Records Act. The Act was passed in 1983 and is regarded as one of the better examples of such laws: Committee members found that, although the law had been in effect for fifteen years, there was a "prevalent attitude among government employees ... that the law requiring them to [convey] information is a nuisance, a bother, and expense that bureaucrats quite often think they just shouldn't have to deal with." The attitude was also fouild'to exist among Texas city attorneys, the attorney general's office, and state judges themselves. " 6. Develop a new plan around these problems if the suggestions above do not succeed. The most effective path is to promote the digitization of public ,records and their availability as Internet databases. Unfortunately, digitization has become an all-purpose excuse by too many public officials-hasn't the National Archives promised that it will magically resolve the problems that will follow the closing of its regional archives? But this path can be followed, and some agencies are already doing so. State archives have made death records, federal land sale records, and Civil War service records digitally available and federal efforts like those of the Bureau of Land Management and the Civil War Project are following suit. Other huge databases that were created for internal departmental uses years ago are also becoming available; the compiling and editing of those resources has already been completed and they could be quickly and cheaply made available electronically. Best of all, this method would completely bypass the ingrained bureaucratic obstinacy against records access I outlined above. If it is fashioned correctly, agency officials would not even know that the public is gaining information via the privacy of their own computers. As well, it would make most ,of the other advice I have given you unnecessary. Why should you have to care about what hours archives reference rooms are open? Why should you have to care about fees for copies if you need only click on the print icon? 7. Take your demands for better access to public records sources above the heads of archivists themselves-to governors, secretaries of state, and members of congress. Do not be hesitant when you approach these officers. Point out to them the Time article of 13 July 1998 on family history research. Tell them that Web sites like Ancestry.com provide online genealogical databases that thousands of family historians search each day. Point out that family historians form the vast bulk of the consumers, clients, and market demand that justify and support the entire enterprise of public archives activity in the United States. Point out that persons with family history interest represent 113 million American citizens, 113 million consumers, 113 million letter writers, and ' 113 million votes. This, I think, is the point upon which genealogists should stand, and I wish them the greatest success. -4- �••• Dr. John Daly, the director of the Illinois State Archives since 1974, has an M.A. in English Literature, and an M.A. and Ph.D. in American History. !1e is a fe)]ow of the Society of American Archivists, and has received several awards and commendations from that organization, including the Distinguished Service Award in 1982. Dr. Daly has a]so received awards from the Association of Records Managers and Administrators, the Federation of Genealogical Societies, and the Illinois State Genealogical Society. After spending severa] years reading and indexing over forty years worth of old newspapers (for genealogical purposes), I offer the following comments and suggestions. If the papers·were microfilmed many years ago, I found they were occasiona1Jy filmed out of order~ therefore, scanning the film for a few months in each direction is advisable. (Also n~te that on occasion the incorrect dates are listed on newspapers-typographical error.) • Second, in newspapers of early years look in the "gossip" portion of the paper. There were very few obituaries and/or death notices: This information was more commonly reported as a news tidbit. These were often no more than a single sentence or two listed along with many such items. Remember to check the issues several weeks preceding and fo)]owing the date you have interest. Check earlier issues because illness and accidents, etc. were regularly included. Check later issues because this information may not have reached the paper in a timely fashion. • Third, check ten, twenty, twenty-five, thirty, forty, and fifty years after the event. Many newspapers ran columns that reprinted items from earlier issues. This is particularly meaningful if some issues are missing from the microfilm or are unreadable. • Fourth, try to learn which township, suburb, or section of the community where your ancestor lived. Often the papers had co]umns devoted to those areas and the news as reported by a local resident. However, as I learned many of these areas overlap and information can be found in more than the one specific correspondent's report. So, learn the name of the areaanq which areas are immediately adjacent so that you can scan those columns as well. • Fifth, look at the late May/early June issues of newspapers for a listing of the graduation classes, which often included photos. Another good time to scan newspapers is right before and after holiday seasons. Often it is reported which relatives came for visits and when they left. • Sixth, deaths of past residents and relatives of current residents living else\vhere were often reported. So, if you had an ancestor that moved, check the newspapers from his previous location. And check the papers . before and after the event. • One caveat--do not be concerned how names were spelled (or rather misspelled) in newspapers. In a single article you can find the surname was spelled in three different ways. Also be creative in your thinking as to how your surname can be interpreted. Articles sent by various correspondents were often handwritten, thus were subject to the interpretation by the typesetter. Additionally, I wonder how many correspondents actually knew how to spell his neighbor's name correctly or how many had legible handwriting. -Pat Jahn • .. -5- �PEDIGREE CHART 5 May 1999 16 Petter ROXBERG----------- I 8 Anders ROXBERG-------------------I I B: 1826 I 17 Butta Lisa MANSDOTTER---I P: "Sweden I M: 4 Andrew Peter HOXBERG--------------i P: "Sweden I B: 18 Sep 1857 I D: !

She enclosed a picture with these obituaries and a brochure for her book entitled Lest We Forget, which is available from her at 4984 Westmont Avenue, San Jose, CA 95130 for $63, including p&h. The obituaries are of her great grandparents Nicholas and Anna Mary Buehner Weil of Clearfield and Eudora. Her great grandparents were Samuel and Hannah Weil Muenzenmayer. Sam Muenzenmayer was a former mayor of Baldwin City, KS. 14 March 1925 Funeral services for Mrs. Anna M. Weil, who died Saturday night in Baldwin at the home of her daughter, Mrs. S. W. Muenzenmayer, fol1owing a few days illness with pneumonia, were held at the Clearfield Evangelical church on Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock and were in charge of Rev. M. Scheurman of Eudora. Very brief services were held at the Muenzenmayer home. Burial was in the Clearfield cemetery. Anna M. Weil, whose maiden name was Boehnner, was born in Stackenforf, Bavaria, Germany, on December 25, 183? In 1856 she came to Ainerica and lived at Burlington, Iowa, for several years, where she met and married Nicholas Weil on the 7th of May, 1857. To this couple were born eight children, seven of who are stil11iving. In the year 18??, Mr. and Mrs. Weil moved Paola ... in 1861 they took their residence at Clearfield where they lived until 1910 when they moved to Eudora, where Mr. Weil died in ]915. Since that time Mrs. Weil has been making her home with her three daughters. Mrs. Weil was converted and joined the Evangelical church at Clearfield in 1864, and remained a faithful member to the end. After her eyesight failed her daughter presented her with a very large print Bible and to the very last it was Mrs. Weirs delight to read her favorite passages. Mrs. Weil was a charter member of the Woman's R- Corps of Baldwin and attended meetings faithfuI1y as long as she was able. She endured many hardships during the Civil War when her husband was serving in the Union army and related many incidents of the privations and trials of the early settlers of Kansas. Her last illness was of one week length, pneumonia being the cause of her death. Her mind, which was remarkably c1ear for one of her years, was not c10uded until two days before her death. Mrs. Weil celebrated her 92nd birthday last Christmas day at which time an her children but one were with her and enjoyed the anniversary at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Muenzenmayer. At that time she told her children that it would be the last time they would all be together. She leaves to mourn her four sons, three daughters, thirty-three grandchildren, forty-eight great children. The following children were in attendance at the funeral services: Charles Weil of Overbrook,. Nicholas Weil of Carbondale, John Weil of Topeka, Mary Weil Brecheisen of Clearfield, Sarah Weil Hausman of Eudora, Hannan Weil Muenzenmayer of Baldwin City. Burial was in the Clearfield Cemetery. Nickolas Weil was born in Dueringen, Alsace, December 14, 1826, and died April 26, 19]5, in his home in Eudora, KS. At the age of27 years he came to this country and spent the first winter in New York. In 1854, he came west to Iowa. In 1857, he was united in marriage with Marie Boehnner of Burlington, Iowa. This union was blessed with 4 sons and 4 daughters. One daughter preceded the father to glory world when she was but 5 years of age. In 1859, Bro. Weil came to Kansas and settled south of Eudora, where they lived under the blessing of God until 5 years ago, 'Yhen they retired from the farm and moved into Eudora. In] 86] , Bro. Weil enlisted in the army~ he served 3 years and 4 months. During this time i'n the army, Bro. Weil was converted to God, and after he returned home he united with the Zions church of the Evangelical Association of Clearfield, and served God an"d the Church faithfully unto the end. - 10- �FatherWeilleaves a widow, 4 sons,3 daughters, and 38 grandchildren.

September 15, 1999 Dear Friends, The process of pulling materials for the institutions requesting newspapers is going much slower than we had hoped. The building isn't air conditioned, so we haven't been able to work when it is really hot. Staff members also have a number of regular duties that need to be maintained, so we are only averaging about one day a week. In addition to limited time, we are limited by the space we have available to make stacks for the 200 institutions that have requested titles. The logistics are a bit mind-boggling. We ask for your patience. We are slowly making progress. Pat Michaelis, Director Library and Archives Division - II - �BOOK REVIEWS by Mary Burchill Ice, Albert L. The lee Family: A Record ofIts Early History Combined with the Listing ofSome Descendents of William (Indian Billy) lee and of His Son Abraham (Lame Abe) lee and Grandson Thomas lee, Sr., as compiled by great-great-great grandson, Albert L. Ice. 68p., plus 16p. of appendices, 1969; paperback; short bibliography. The title is very indicative of what is included in this book. It begins with an early history of the Ice family in America then follows families through history. The two heads of the families named in the title are listed and then their descendents are followed through generally into the 1800s. The appendix has the story of John Pierpoint, excerpt from George Washington's diary, Kansas grasshopper diary, early description oflndian Billy's farm, copy of Frederick Ice's will, Abraham Ice's will, outgoing ship register from Belfast, Ireland, court records Ice vs. Ice 1827, proofs regarding Indian Billy's age, Indian capture, etc., and thoughts by the author of this history. The author states this compilation is for the members of the family who may in later years wish to trace their ancestry. Histories of this type are very valuable to anyone tracing the families included. They are a labor oflove and a wonderful contribution to family history. This volume was donated by Mildred Louise Ice Hogan and will be shelved in the Osma Room of the Lawrence Public Library. a As we read through different publications we come across items that seem to be of great interest to everyone, we think.

We have stored them for all this time. Recently we were contacted by a family member in Pennsylvania who wanted to see some of the records. We sorted through the boxes and dispersed the records as follows: 4 boxes were sent to the relative in Pennsylvania, the Society took out some of the duplicate publications and that is what is listed below, and the remaining 6 boxes were given to the Eudora Public Library. The following titles will be housed in the Helen Osma Room of the Lawrence Public Library. They may not be checked out, but you are certainly encouraged to use them extensively in the room. Kith and kin of George Wolf, Governor of Pennsylvania, 1829-35. Notebook of Matney records. Ancestors, descendants and relatives of Charles Daniel Kindig and Ellen (Beishline) Kindig. Genealogy of Jacob King (Konig) and Matheus King (Konig) ofNorthamption County, Pennsylvania. Matney Connections, Brooks Matney and Jennit Young, William Matney, and Sarah Yocum, and allied families. Charles Matney of Lone Star, ca. 1810-76. Brooks Matney and many others. Shackelford Tree by Betty Murray. 1850 Federal Census. Tazewell County, Virginia by Susie Shrader. Relatives, ancestors, and descendants of William Samuel Matney and Frances Bishop Porter ("Sam" and "Frankie"). Index to Douglas County History ofKansas by Andreas.

Double-cousin descendants of Harrison Champion Bowman and Irena Shackelford Stiles, John Maglimmery Bowman, and Caroline Shackelford and their ancestry. OSMA ROOM IS COMPLETED The renovation of the Helen Osma Family History Room in the Lawrence Public Library is completed. The size has been doubled and we thank the Library for doing this project. We appreciate all of you being patient while it was being worked on. Now is the time to formulate a Collection Policy for the Society's part of the Osma Room. As you can see from the following letter from Bruce Flanders, director of the Lawrence Public Library, they are interested in making the Osma Room be an even greater asset to the library and the community. The Society will hold a meeting on May 5 at 2 pm in the Osma Room at the Library. Our topic will be to talk about and formulate policies for the Society's part in the Osma Room. We will have representatives from the DAR and the Library present so we can all agree on the direction for the Osma Room. A tentative policy for collecting quarterlies follows; we will discuss it at the May 5 meeting: Continue exchanging quarterlies from Kansas, Colorado, Missouri, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Iowa, Indians, Illinois, Ohio, and Virginia. Keep 5 years of each quarterly. What to do with the ones we discard? - 1- �e Lawrence Public Library . March 29, 1999 Ms.MaryB~1 Douglas Ceftgy enealogical Society, Inc. P.O. Box 3664 Lawrence, KS 66046-0664 Dear Mary: I want to thank you for your encouragement and guidance relating to our work on expanding the Osma Room. The renovation project took a lot longer than I would have liked, but I believe the end result is good. We recently installed a patron counter at the entrance to the Osma Room, so we should be able to maintain accuate statistics regarding use of the Osma Room resources. As you noted to me in your March 3 letter, there is more work to do. I am open to the Society's desire to place abstracts in this room. A number of the library's ·vertical file cabinets will be available to help house these materials. Also, the shelving on the south wall can be extended. I have asked Cecilia to coordinate these actions. I should note that I have a concern about the "eclectic" appearance of the free-standing furniture and shelves in the Osma Room. I would like to work with the Society over the next year to improve this aspect of the room. 707 Vermont Street I would appreciate an evaluation of what freestanding furniture is needed in the room. We can work with the Salvation Army, Social Service League, or other groups to find a new home for the furnishings, if any, which are determined by reference staff and Society members to no longer be needed.

Douglas County Genealogical Society, 1999 Many of the pages of this census are not labeled with the Ward number of Lawrence or the name of the Township, and the page numbers can be confusing.

Page numbers refer to the large scribbled numbers that are usually found only on the first page of each set of three pages of Schedule 1...Other than Schedule 1" usually is Schedules 2 through 11 and certification pages.

Directory for Lawrence can be used to determine the Ward in which a resident 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 the address listed in the directory, and the information about street addresses and Wards below, the searcher can learn which Ward to search in the census. A sampling indicates that the Ward locations of about ,70 to 75 percent of the heads of household in the census can be found by using the City Directory as a surname index. Be aware that, within each letter of the alphabet in the Directory, the surnames are not entirely in alphabetical order. 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 in which each farm 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. A sampling indicates that the Township locations of about 75 to 80 percent of the rural residents can be found by using the 1890-91 Directory as a surname index.

A West Coast Genealogist had been exchanging information with a researcher in Virginia for sometime. Then it happened! Her last message "bounced" - it couldn't be delivered as the address no longer existed. Fortunately she had received a number of family group sheets from her correspondent which listed a telephone number. When she called the number a man answered, so she asked for her "Internet" friend and, after a slight hesitation was told, "Oh, Mary Ann passed away three weeks ago." Shocked, but ever gracious, she expressed her sympathy and commented how close this longdistance relationship had become and how it will be missed by her. The husband explained that he was sorry that he couldn't be of any help because he really didn't know much about what his wife was doing with her genealogy. Perhaps you too have noticed a, genealogical gatherings that the average age of the partiCipants is something in excess of 39 years, at least judging by hair color. Most of us really don't have a lot of time to devote to our hobby until after the kids are grown, out of school and we've retired. Then it is no longer a hobby, it becomes an obsession. At some point in our continuous search for dead people, our ancestors, we recognize our own mortality and start to think about a permanent home for our research. If our children or grandchildren appear to be interested, we have it made, but frequently that's not the case. Then what happens to our "stuff"? Genealogists are usually pretty smart people, until it comes to providing for the distribution of their "genealogical assets." The latter, in my case anyway, is a room full of books, joumals, magazines, pamphlets, maps, photographs, brochures, newsletters, computer equipment and funiture (desk, chairs, file cabinets, tables, lamps, etc.). The files are loaded with folders bearing family and town names, historic events, and a bunch labeled "MISC." There are miles of computer printouts, hundreds of photocopies, and many "original" vital records. My desk is usually loaded with correspondence awaiting an answer either mine or from someone else. What should my wife do with all this stuff when I make the ultimate research trip - a personal meeting with my ancestors? - 32- Some of our brighter colleagues say "My college library is getting all my stuff' or it's going to the local public library or to the LOS Family History Ubrary in Salt Lake City or even to the Ubrary of Congress. Well, I hate to be the one to tell you this, but unless you are a celebrity or a hugh financial donor, these institutions probably won't want your material - they just don't have room for it. They would be grateful for a copy of your book, but they might not want the manuscript or research notes. The Mormons would appreciate a GEDCOM disk of your genealoogy database files, but they don't want your paper pedigree charts or family group sheets. So what is your spouse or children to do with all of your "stuff.?" They could really do a couple of dumb things with it if you don't provide guidance to them while you still can. It could be placed in the weekly trash collection and don't say "They wouldn't do that" because it unfortunately happens all the time. How about a "garage sale?" Now that is really scary, but it also happens every day. Remember all those old photos and tintypes you have seen in roadside flea markets? How about all those bargin genealogy books you bought because you got to that garage sale before the dealers did" They all had to come from someplace. What should you do to insure the same distribution of your genealogical assets? Perhaps the first thing is to make a record of what you have and then try to keep it current. Show the acquisition date and how much you paid for each item on the inventory sheets. This is especially helpful for artifacts, collections, and books. A photographic record of these items, including those of rare books, could also be useful. Microfilm, microfiche and complete photocopies of books and some records have value. Back issues of many joumals, newsletters, and magazines are also in demand by genealogists and therefore have value. However, if you don't tell them what is valuable, your heirs probably won't know. Now that you have identified your assets, you need to tell someone what you want done with them. Maybe the simplest way is to prepare a letter to your heirS, but' J>emember this lacks the force of law. If they want to, they can toss everything in the trash. A better way to provide for the distribution is in your will, particularly if you also designate sufficient funds'to carry out your wishes. Your Last Will and Testament is also where you may make specific bequests: your copy of the 1898 edition of �Burkes Peerage to your FGS Conference roommate or your old roll-top desk to your newest granddaughter. Your wishes can now be enforced by the courts, if necessary. If you still want to have any of your assets given to your alma mater or a local library or anywhere else, personally contact that agency and discuss the possibility - right now. It won't come as a surprise to them and they should be able to advise you immediately of any conditions of acceptance. If you can support those conditions, ask for a written acknowledgment that can be placed with your will. Some other things that you can do right now are to distribute copies of your research among your family, friends, and perhaps, local or national libraries. This is simple if you have progressed to the book-writing state, but don't be too concerned if you haven't. Many genealogists assemble their pedigree charts, group sheets, perinent vital records, selected family photographs, and other important document in notebook fonn. The write a brief introdution, provide a table of contents, and sometimes an index, before having copies made for distribution. Afterwards, the notebook can be kept current with a New Year's letter which might include new charts and photos. Computerized genealogocal data can be distributed in the same way on diskette. Sometimes an envelope or jacket is provided in the notebook described above to house data disks. Another way some researchers try to insure the safeguarding of their electronic data is to submit it to the LOS Ancestral File or one or more of the other commercial collections. If you don't know how to do this consult your local genealogical society or Family History Center or even the public library for instructions. Another thing you can do right now to benefit your heirs is to clean up your files. Biminate unnecessary correspondence and duplicate copies of records. Toss out all those old printouts you made in 1984 on your Apple 2e Computer. Sell all the Genealogical Helper Magazines you have saved since 1973, because you will never open one of them again and you know it. If you get fifty cents each for them you can have a pretty good dinner. Give away all that old computer software that is taking up room on your bookshelves-it's probably not worth anything anyway. Label your photographs, and disketts too. I find it a bit morbid, but you may wish to write your epitaph and select your tombstone now to insure future researchers will not encounter some of the same problems that you've had. - 33 - If you decide to follow some of these suggestions, when you do eventually meet your ancestors they may thank you for perpetuating their memory. They may also show you where you made some of your mistakes and be able to fill in a few of the blank spaces in your previous research. Remember, do it now, there may be no tomorrow.

Often the requestor assumes we have a complete file of obituaries, as I suppose many genealogical societies do. During my searches I have found several different files and indexes for different time periods in different places, so I made a list of those available and will put a copy of it in the Osma Room at the Lawrence City Library and will give copies to the Watkins Community Museum and other libraries. The available obituary files and indexes are nearly complete for about 1978-1997, .but the coverage of earlier years is spotty. Naturally the requests we are receiving are for much earlier times, and the 1978-1997 obituaries won't be in demand until many decades from now. We have determined that what is most needed now is information for 1864-1891. Rather than making copies of the obi tuaries and death notices from those newspapers, we will prepare an index so the information can be looked up in the newspaper when needed. We will index the newspapers that are on microfilm in the Lawrence City Library, which are only Lawrence papers. Our goal is to complete the index in a year's time. . There are 49 spools of microfilm containing about 10,000 newspapers for 1864-1891. I have timed myself at copying data for indexing onto a worksheet, and cal6ulate that a person could work through a maximum of 40 newspapers an hour (many issues of the old newspapers contain no obituaries or death notices). In addition to the 250 or more hours of this work, numerous hours will be required to keyboard the data into a database.program which will then put the index into alphabetical order by surname. The index will then be printed onto acid-free paper and bound between covers. So far we have seven workers on this project, and we need a few more in order to complete the project within the year. If you live in or near Lawrence or Topeka (where the microfilms are) and would like to help, please call Paul Jordan at 785-842-4388. I will provide worksheets to make the work go as quickly and efficiently as possible. . . Page 46 �Osma Room to be expanded Included in the budget for the Lawrence PUblic Library, which was approved in January, is $20,000 for enlargement of the Helen Osma Room which is the Genealogy Library. It will double the size of the room. Plans being discussed include removing the glass wall from the door east to the wall and repositioning it going north to the stair well. The north wall of the room will be even with the north side of the stairwell so the room will be L-shaped. One of the changes will be that there will no longer be a locked door into the room. The three groups that have materials in the room, DAR, LPL and the Society agreed that it was not necessary to have the room locked. There will still be a reference librarian at the desk and the glass wall will allow visual surveillance at all times. The Society will be able to house the Lawrence Abstracts in the room and discussion is proceeding about this process. As background, the Worleys were given many abstracts by an abstract company here in Lawrence. Shelley Hickman Clark, a past president of the Society, has. indexed all of them by legal description. We will be able to have all these in the Helen Osma Room for researchers to use. This remodeling should begin by summer. Then we'll need help in moving the collections. It is an exciting development and the Society is grateful to the staff of the library for recognizing the importance of the room. Any chance you get tell the library of your appreciation. REBECCA BROOKS K~RVEY "Rebecca Brooks Harvey was born in slavery in North Carolina (she did not know when nor where nor the name of her Mother.) Why? because as a baby she was given as a chattel for a debt one man owed another. The creditors took the baby for the debt and gave her to the Brooks lady to raise. The name of Rebecca was given the child." . "In rearing their children, our parents taught obedience at home in school and to the laws of the state." ' "Father told us on leaving home for school, learn, behave and tend to your own business. Mother being a devout Christian added prayer." Original source:. RH.

Harvey-Story of his Mother-Rebecca Brooks Harvey Page 47 �, 'CENSUS INDEXES FOR KANSAS, 1855-1925 Researchers of Kansas data are fortunate that censuses are available for every fifth year from 1855 to 1925, with the exception of 1890. Censuses are also available for 1856-1858 and 1859. All of these censuses are available to us here in Lawrence, most of them in Hays, 1900 and 1910 in Manhattan, and a few parts in Pittsburg, at the State university libraries -- but indexes are not available there. . For indexes we can go to Topeka, or for some of them we can use interlibrary loan. The Kansas State Historical Society research library in Topeka has numerous indexes as well as each actual census for all of Kansas. The following information about their indexes is copied from a Historical Society pamphlet, Kansas Census Indexes 1855-1925, printed in February 1995, and other information obtained from the Historical Society in March 1997. The indexes are for all of Kansas unless otherwise specified. 1855: Available in book form and on microfilm. 1856-1858: Available in book form. 1859: Available in book form. 1860: Available in book form and on microfilm. 1865: Entire state available on microfilm (interlibrary loan available).

Submitted by Paul Jordan Page 49 �ENTRIES UNDER PERSONAL IN THE INDEX TO LAWS OF KANSAS 1855-1877 The information that follows is taken from the Index to the Laws of Kansas.It comprises all general, special and private acts contained in the original authorized editions of the laws from the . organization of the Territory of Kansas, in 1855, to the close of the 17th Annual Session of the State Legislature in 1877. It was compiled and published by J.D. Shaffer of the Leavenworth Bar in 1877. Kansas Statutes can be found in most public libraries and certainly in all law libraries. The complete set of statutes will be found in the University of Kansas Law Library located on the campus of the University. It is open to everyone. Ask a librarian for the location of the statutes. There is a great deal of information of interest to genealogists in statutes. Some of the better items appear under Personal heading in the index. These can include "rights restored to", "divorces", "rights conferred upon", "name changes" to mention just a few. A few examples will be given of the kind of information which is available and then the listing of names under the heading Personal in the index. Heading: Engle, Carrie Ella Louise, changed to Carrie Ladd Armstrong ..... 1873, 200. (1873 is the year of the statutes and 200 is the page number). The entry is as follows: Section 1.

November December 1997 Mining the Mother Lode of Primary Genealogical Information for Free by George Archer McLean, Virgina Cruising the Net is fine, but nearly everything you find there is a secondary source. Unless it is an image of an original document, someone had to retype the original to put it up on the Net, thereby making it a secondary and not a primary source document. The Net promises, but time and money do not permit, putting up even a tiny fraction of the primary records that might be of interest to genealogists. Well, now you can get closer to those primary records and you have two choices. You can purchase The Guide to Federal Records in the National Archives oj the United States, a 2,428 page 3-volume ~et of books, or you can get the digital version in approximately two hours by downloading it to your hard disk from the National Archives Gopher Site at: gopher:llgopher.nara.gov: 70100linJorm/guide/ Gopher is text-based, menu-driven interface still used by many libraries and the National Archives. When you enter-the site, you will have nothing but a black and white text page with hot links to a sub-menu of Gopher pages that follows roughly the Table of Contents for the hard copy version. • Read this First • Preface and Acknowledgments • Introduction • Record Groups 1 - 99 -• Record Groups 100 - 199 • Record Groups 200 - 299 • Record Groups 300 - 399 • Record Groups 400 - 499 • Record Groups 500 + • Index The Gopher site version is a word-for-word copy of the hard bound- volumes. Volumes 1-2 describe 1.7 million cubic feet of Federal Records in all 20 depositories of the National Archives and twelve Presidential Libraries, not just those in Washington, D.C., as of 1 Oct 1994. All types of records are described including text, electronic, audiovisual. The Record Groups (RG) are numbers assigned to federal agencies and their predecessor organizations with new ones assigned as agency names are created or changed. Each RG Chapter begins with an administrative history of the agency that created the records, and an overview of the extent and location of its records. Each RG narrative includes: a very useful listing of successor agencies; finding aids that include Preliminary Inventories and pamphlets that describe the microfilmed versions of some records. Related records include a list of other agencies and their RG's. For larger RG's the next section summarizes the record type, the city where the records are located and the quantity of records measured in cubic or linear feet. Page 67 ,': '.... �Thereafter follows a description of the records th~m:>elves listing them by: type, dates of coverage and a descnpbon of the activities that the records document. For instance, I wanted to see t\le original manuscript versions of the Land Offices' land entry maps and surveyors' field notes for the original Northwest Territory in the Seven Ranges and found them in RG 49, Records of the Bureau of Land Management [BLM]. A quick on-line search turned up: • "Field notes compiled during township surveys of the public land states of AL, IN, lA, KS, MO, OH, _WI, ~e Indian Territory, and parts of OR and WA, 1785-1946 (m College Park). Field notes and related textual records and maps ("Old Case F File") of state, territorial, and Indian-land boundaries, including notes of the dependent resurvey of the boundaries of a few reservations, 1809-1938 (in College Park). Field notebooks from townsite surveys, 1844-93 (in College Park). • "Microfilm Publications: M478, M1325, M1329, T1234, T1240. • "Maps (52,324 items): Township plats from surveys made by deputy surveyors supervised by surveyors general in the seven ranges in OH (the first public land survey), AL, IN, lA, KS, MO, other parts ofOH, WI, the Indian Territory, and parts of OR and WA, some of which are annotated to show land entry numbers and entrymen's names, 1785-1946 (40,000 items). Township exterior boundary plats showing the perimeter of each township as approved by the surveyor general for most of the public land states, 1786-1910 (7,269 items)." Lookup of a RG is easy online, but searching for a specific item in a RG by topic using the index is difficult because -you will have to search 24 separate letter index files for each item. I decided to download the entire index and about half of the 200+ text files for the RG's I knew had genealogical interest. You can do this in a web browser using these steps: Create a folder dedicated to the files you are about to download. Click on -the RG you want and open the file on screen. Next, click on File and select the Save as command to save the file using the default name (e.g. rg049.txt for RG 49) to whatever folder you want to dedicate to about 6mb of material if you download the entire three volumes. Even if you save fewer RG text files than I did, do save the entire Volume 3, index to Volume 1-2 (NAGIDX*.TXT, where * is a letter of the alphabet). Go into an MS-DOS session and put yourself in the folder (sub-directory) where you downloaded the files. Combine the 24 files into a single file with one DOS command: copy NAGIDX*. * X This will produce a 2.2mb text file named, "X." that you can rename. Now, return to Windows and use a word processor or heavy duty text editor that can open the entire 2.2mb file. Searching the index offline will lead you to every instance of a specific word. Use the "find" key or feature in a word processor or text editor to find a specific word. For example, my father homesteaded east of San Diego, CA in the 1930's a mile north of the Mexican border in lands within the Cleveland National Forest, according to San Diego Co., CA deeds. I found the records for his land patents by scanning for "Cleveland." After plowing through many hits on "Cleveland" I found an entry for "Cleveland National Forest 95.9.4" The "95" in this entry refers to RG 95 (Records of the Forest Service), paragrapb 9.4. I discovered that I had not downloaded that particular file (rg095.txt) so rather than going back online, I looked it up in my hardcopy realizing that a disk-based digital index search was a more powerful and thorough search tool than using the hard copy version in Volume 3. Here is what I found: • "95.9.4 Records of Region 5 (Pacific Southwest Region) • "Textual Records (in San Francisco} .... Land status tabular records, 1870-1970 for plats described below under Maps ... • "Maps (3,135 items in San Francisco): General land Office plats of California national forests, annotated to show land patents, ownership and use, 1870-1970 .... showing homestead entries, 1915 and land status, _ exchange and acquisition 1920-60. SEE ALO 95.12." (~G 95.12 .was "Cartographic Records (General) 1890-1973 but contamed nothing of interest.) So, from this short foray into the Guide I located the probable records and know that I' have to go to San Francisco to see them. I also have a specific RG citation and description I can show the archivists at San Francisco. And better, I can show it to them on a computer screen (or print out) without baving to haul 20 pounds of the 3-volume bard copy with me or locate a copy of it at the San Francisco Archives Branch. You, too, can look up elusive federal records using the techniques above and, even if you don't buy the hardcopy or download Volumes 1-2, use the index offline to search for probable records and then revisit the gopher site to explore RG's with possible records of interest. When you get a hit, save to disk just that RG chapter for future reference when visiting or corresponding with the National Archives in Washington or its many branches. A complete list of the National Archives and Records Administration Repositories appears in the file "intronag.txt" under Table A.

June 11, 1881) INDIAN RELICS Discovery of Traces of the Mound Builders in This County Deer Creek-June 9, 1881 To the Editor of the Journal: I promised you some time since to write you an account of the. traces of the Mound Builders found in this vicinity, but wishing farther information on some points have put off doing so until now. My attention was first directed to the subject about a year ago by the report that when Isaac Stull dug his cellar he found the bones of an Indian. Being at Mr. Stull's in the course of a few days; I inquired for what was saved and was given some fragments of true mound builder pottery, the crowns of a few teeth, some worked flint and the blade of a sandstone ax. They were found some three or four months before I heard of them and probably not more than half of the flints were saved. They were buried two and one-half feet below the surface, and in the edge of an open spot popularly termed "Indian fields" by the old settlers. This has shown no indications of any "mounds" within twenty-five y.ears. The remains of two other bodies were subsequently found when digging a cistern adjoining the cellar mentioned, but they were so decayed as to be of little interest. This last winter another skeleton was found on the Shaw place while digging postholes, but was not examined. In digging a well on the same place in an Indian field, at the depth of six feet, there was found a lot of charcoal burnt clay, pieces of pottery and flint, which had been worked, some to an edge and some not finished. Upon making inquiry I find that the valley of Deer Creek from its mouth up for the distance of some four or five miles has furnished a great many arrow heads, knives and axes. These have been picked up in .some cases were perfect because of the oddity if nothing else. In my opinion there is here a rich field for explorations and I shall embrace every opportunity to develop it and will be happy to give your many·readers the account of my work from time to time, and will answer any correspondence upon the sUbject. I do not, however, expect to find much until winter on account of the dense growth of vegetation. Crops are looking excellent, Some apples in places, but not generally distributed. My trees are quite full, in fact, they have the most on by half of any orchard in this vicinity, and will have about half a crop. M. J. A.

June 2, 1881) MARRIAGE BELLS ~Wedding of Miss Carina F. Harris and Mr. Fred J. Hill" It was some twenty-one years ago that one of the editors of the Old Lawrence Republican was one evening invited to go out upon the "California road" and witness the marriage of Mr. E. P. Harris, a young printer then working in the office, to Miss Davidson. It was a pleasant gathering and Rev. Dr. Cordley performed the ceremony. On last Tuesday eveing the first marriage in the household then formed was celebrated. A special contributor thus describe it: The pleasant country home of Mr. and Mrs. E. P. Harris, at Glendale, near Lecompton, was the scene of a joyous occasion, on Tuesday evening, May 31st, the event being the marriage of Miss Corina F. Harris to Mr. Fred. J. Hill, of Lecompton. The beautiful grounds was ablaze with lights from Chinese lanterns, hung in the trees, extending a cheerful welcome to the guests before they reached the house. The floral decorations were beautiful beyond description, the arch between the sittingroom and parlor being draped with festoons and garlands of evergreens and flowers. The "marriage bell," with a horse-shoe beneath, was suspended iti the arch. The happy couple took places beneath the bell at half-past eight o'clock, the ceremony being performed by Rev. RichardCordlley, D.D., of Emporia, in a very impressive manner. He was assisted by Rev. H. D. Herr, of Lecompton. The congratulations were heartfelt and sincere---all wishing the youthful couple the happiness they so well deserve. The bride's dress was of fringe silk, with plaited vest of cream satin. The skirt trimmings were fine plaitings and puffings with apron-front of diagonal folds, heavy cords and tassels gracefully looped about the skirt and basque was shirred at the waist and about the shoulders; fringe cord laced the front over the cream satin vest, finished at the bottom in heavy loops and tassels, with elbow sleeves, the whole elegantly trimmed with cream Spanish lace. The groom wore the usual black dress suit with white vest. The bride is not only well known and admired in the neighborhood in which she lives, but also in Lawrence and Topeka, for her amiable disposition and her accomplishments. The groom, whose home is near Lecompton, is a young man of promise and energy and deserving of the treasure he has won. This occasion was an unusually pleasant one for Rev. Mr. Cordley, he having performed the marriage ceremony for the father and mother of the bride some twenty-one years ago at Lawrennce. Elegant refreshments were served at about 9:30; under the supervision of Mrs. E. P. Harris, who received many compliments for the delicacies set before the guests, and the hospitable manner in which they were entertained. The love and esteem of the friends of the young couple was shown by the number of handsome and costly presents they received, a list of which we give below: Elegant set of jewelry Page 90 �Page #2 from the groom to the bride; $100 in five $20. gold pieces, Mr. and Mrs. E.

'Tele. 135. ° d Q G) Shunganunga Boulder On May 30, 1854 the Kansas-Nebraska Act was signed by President Franklin Pierce creating Kansas Territory. Slavery was becoming a dividing wedge between the North and the South, the act left to those who would settle here the issue of whether Kansas would be with or without slavery. With the signing of the act began a flood of white settlers into the area. Many were connected to the New England Emigrant Aid Company. The purpose of the Company was to bring people with anti-slavery convictions to Kansas. It was important to Northerners that the new state, when it was received, be without slavery. The first party sent west by the New England Emigrant Aid Company left Boston, Massachusetts on July 17, 1854 and arrived at the town site August 1, 1854. There were 29 men in the first party. By September 11, sixty-seven additional members of the NEEAC and thirty-seven people who had joined en route, had arrived. On September 18, the first and second emigrant parties joined together to form a town association, adopted a constitution and planned and surveyed the town and started selling townolots and farm claims. This original plan is still obvious. Most of the streets running North and South still hold their original names. e: : DIRECTORY OF LAWRESCE AND DOUGLAS COUNTY. ::de:~ 114------------------------------------~----'u O1-, G) c.e: rn 1111 z~1 STREET DIRECTORY. tl)1I) Oil) e-~ ='111 ';: ~ HOUSJ.; XU)mERS.-Prior to the ordinance of May 1885 ~ ~ I there was no unifurm system of numbering the houses.

This self-published, soft-cover publication is the first edition of the genealogy of the descendants of Joseph Bardell who lived in Baltimore, Maryland in 1750. It begins with Josph Bardell "surfacing in colonial Maryland records about 1746 when he and his wife Jane registered the births of their sons at St. Thomas' Protestant Episcopal Church at Garrison Forest, Baltimore County (now near Owings Mills)". The author gives a short history of the Bardell surname and where others by that name are mentioned in early history. He gives marriages, deaths, birth moving through ten generations. This in depth information has been gleaned from tax lists, . census records,. historical magazines, testamentary proceedings, m:onographs, diaries, estate settlements, land patent records, etc. In 1861 the family moves to Kansas and a brief history of the reasons for the move is given. Some rode with Jim Lane and experienced the "Missouri border ruffians". Some of the surnames, besides Bardell, are Saum, Trew, Barber, Benedict, McCune, Driggs, Robinson, and Tannehill. These are the names with' Kansas connections. The book is easy to follow through and will be a great help . for those with these surnames. It was donated to the Society by the author and will be found in the Osma room of the Lawrence Public Library. Reviewed by Mary D.

He. immediately . made arrangements for a second set which was purchased by the Society and placed in the Osma Room. The reels are 16mm so at present can only be used on the reader/printer. One index is done by the husband's last name; the second is by the wife's maiden name. Mr Worley, long a volunteer genealogist in the Osma Room, has made a printed index to these reels.

Page i,'$ ~ ,: �THE FATE OF THE 1890 POPULATION CENSUS Condensed by Paul Jordan f~om an article, "First in the Path of the Firemen: The Fate of the 1890 Population Census," by Kellee Blake,. in the Spring 1996 issue (Vol. 28 No.1) of Prologue: Quarterly of the National Archives. This condensation. lacks much of the information and flavor of the original 18-page article which has 18 illustrations and 46 reference notes. The condensation omits all of the extensive information about the special enumeration of Union veterans and widows. It would be well worth the effort· to find and read the complete article which is available in the Documents Library of the University of Kansas and at many other large libraries. Searchers of Kansas genealogical information are fortunate that state censuses are available for 1885 and 1895 at the Kansas State Historical Society and the University of Kansas, and that the Historical Society is in the process of indexing the 1895 census. Reference sources routinely dismiss the 1890 census re60rds as "destroyed by fire" in 1921. Examination of the records of the Bureau of Census and other federal agencies, however, reveals a far more complex tale. This is a genuine tragedy of records--played out before Congress fully established a National Archives--and eternally anguishing to researchers. In March 1896, before final publication of all general statistics volumes, the original 1890 special schedules were badly damaged by fire and destroyed by Department of the Interior order. No damage to the general population schedules was reported at that time. Despite repeated ongoing requests by the secretary of commerce and others for an archives building where all census schedules could be saf~ly stored, by January 10, 1921, the schedules could be found piled in an orderly manner on closely placed pine shelves in an unlocked file room in the basement of the Commerce Building. At about five 0 I clock on that afternoon, building fireman James Foster noticed smoke and immediately reported it to the desk watchman, who called the fire department. After some setbacks from the intense smoke, firemen gained access to the basement. While a . crowd of ten thousand watched, they poured twenty streams of water into the building and flooded the cellar through holes cut into the concrete floor. By 9:45 P.M. the fire ·was extinguished, but firemen poured water into the burned area past 10:30 P.M. Disaster planning and recovery were almost unknown in 1921. With the blaze extinguished, despite the obvious damage and need for immediate salvage efforts, the chief clerk opened windows to let out the smoke, and except for watchmen on patrol, everyone went home. The morning after was an archivist's nightmare, with ankledeep water covering records in many areas~ The 1890 census was stacked outside the vault and was, according to one source, "first in th~ path of the firemen." That morning, Census Director Sam Rogers reported the extensive damage to the 1890 schedules, estimating 25 percent destroyed, with 50 percent of the remainder damaged by water, smoke, and fire. Salvage of the watersoaked and charred documents might be possible, but saving even a small part would take a month, and it would take two to three years to copy off and save all the recorqs damaged in the fire. Page 14 �The still soggy, "charred about the edges" original and only copies of the 1890 schedules remained in ruins. At the end of January, the records damaged in the fire were moved for temporary storage. Over the next few months, rumors spread that salvage attempts would not be made and that Census Director Sam Rogers had recommended that Congress authorize destruction of the 1890 census. Prominent historians, attorneys, and genealogical organizations wrote to new Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover, the Librarian of Congress, and other government officials in protest. By May of 1921 tile records were still piled in a large warehouse where, complained new census director William Steuart, they could not be consulted and would probably gradually deteriorate. Steuart arranged for their transfer back to the census building, to be bound where possible, but at least put in some order for reference. . The extant record is scanty on storage and possible use of the 1890 schedules between 1922.and 1932. In December 1932, in accordance with federal records procedures at the time, the Chief Clerk of the Bureau of Census sent the Librarian of Congress a list of papers no longer necessary for current business and scheduled for destruction. He asked the Librarian to report back to him any documents that should be retained for their historical interest. The Librarian identified no records as permanent, the list was sent forward, and Congress authorized destruction of February 21, 1933. Ironically, just one day before Congress authorized destruction of the 1890 census papers, President Herbert Hoover laid the cornerstone for the National Archives Building. In 1942 the National Archives accessioned a damaged bundle of surviving Illinois schedules as part of a shipment of records found during a Census Bureau move. At the time, they were believed to be the only surviving fragments. In 1953, however, the Archives accessionedan additional set of fragments. These sets of extant . fragments' are: . . from Alabama, Georgia, - Illinois, . Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, .North Carolina, Ohio, South Dakota, Texas, and the District of Columbia and have been microfilmed as National Archives Microfilm Publication M407 (3 rolls). A corresponding index is available as National Archives Microfilm Publication M496 (2 rolls). The loss of the 1890 schedules- and absence of part of the special. veterans enumeration are especially painful information losses for which there is no real balm. However, all of the federal census (pre-1920) might have been destroyed in that 1921 fire, especially if it had consumed the entire Commerce Building. The tragedy of the 1890 census remains a constant reminder of the necessity for a vigorous National Archives and unrelenting vigilance about the historical record. * * Page 15 * �, . .' , Census of 1890 =mm:5er of originally ~ UNITED STATES Alabama Arizona Arkansas California Colorado Connecticut Delaware Dist. of-Columbia Florida Georgia Idaho lIlinois Indiana Iowa Kansas Kentucky 41,597. 854. 42 752 983 240.' 397. 79 139· 194· 870 72 2,513 1,863. 1,603· 1,544 1,225.

Compiled by Paul Jordan This index is a consolidation of separate indexes for townships and' wards in 1875 Douglas County Kansas Census published by The Douglas County Genealogical Society, 1985. This index includes some corrections made by using the 1985 publication and a microfilm copy of the 1875 census (filmed in 1945 by the Kansas State Historical Society) in the Documents Library of the University of Kansas. Most of the microfilm is clearly readable, with the exception of Clinton Township for which the writing is faded making most of it difficult to read and some nearly impossible to read, Kanwaka Township for which the copy is clear but the handwriting is difficult to interpret, and part of page one of Willow Springs Township which is faded. Page numbers are for the original census, as listed in the last column on each sheet of the 1985 typescript (first column for Eudora Township). Thus this index may be used either for a microfilm copy of the original census or for the 1985 typescript version. The 1985 typescript has Lawrence Ward 5 and Grant Township in alphabetical order rather than the order of the original enumeration. The 1985 publication omits some columns of the 1875 population schedule--Dwelling House, numbered in the order of visitation; Families, numbered in the order of visitation (included for Eudora only); Value of Real Estate; Value of Personal Property; Attended school within the year; and nine columns relating to illiteracy. The 1985 publication was typed from the original book made available by the Kansas State Historical Society. The compilers also used a copy of the Lawrence City Directory of 1875-6 as an aid in reading some of the difficult writing; in many instances the riames from each source are given in that publication. When using this ,index, search all conceivable spellings and misspellings of the name in order to compensate for misspellings and poor handwriting in the original census and other errors. For example, not just Pierce, Peirce, and Pearce but also Biggs and Riggs; Eudall, Udall, and Yewdall; Danen and Dauen; Chouteau and Showtow. Also remember that a page of the census may have two or more occurrences of a particular surname separated by other surnames. An index for·the entire State of Kansas (157 reels of microfilm) is available at the Kansas State Historical Society, Topeka. Proofreading of this index was by Paul and Carolyn Jordan.

The first known inhabitants of the present Eudora area were the Kanza and Osage Native American Indians. Non-Indians could pass through at their own risk but not settle on the land from 18211854. Major Stephen H. Long of'Thomas Say's Detachment followed the Kansas River to Manhattan in 1819, but it must have been a drought year as' he called Kansas "The Great American Desert". Methodist preachers wrote that prairie grass was so tall it covered a man on horseback. The Pathfinder of the West, John C. Fremont, traversed the area in 1832 and later the Santa Fe Trail. He noted the area had a mosiac of bluestem prairie grass with oak and hickory forests in the flood plain. An early trail from Westport to Lawrence, through Eudora was called the Westport-Fremont Trail.' New Highway #10 follows the route closely. Dr. Andrew T. Still, son of Missionary Minister, Dr. Abraham Still, was a doctor and founder of Osteopathy and also a Scout Surgeon for Fremont. Buffalo Bill Cody passed this way because he'wrote his name on a rocky cliff along the Wakarusa River but apparently the blasting for the bridge for the new highway dislodged it. Abolitionist Jim Lane brought slaves through the area and even .. notorious: Quantrill stopped at ·a Eudora store at least once. In'1825 the Indians in Kansas signed a treaty restricting their territory allowing for the settlement of unclaimed land west of the Missouri River. President .Jackson's Indian Policy proposed voluntary emigration of Eastern Indian Tribes to western lands, 28 May 1830, for Indians living north of Ohio to relocate in Territorial Kansas. In the Indian Removal Act twenty-seven tribes were offered reservation land forever. The Shawnees were alloted the area south of the Kansas River. The United Tribe of Shawnee started to come to the Shawnee, Kansas area in 1825, with many Bluejacket families. The Tribe of Paschal Fish, Sr. of the Cape Girardeau, Missouri and St. Louis areas did not come until 1831. With Fish was a white man, William Jackson .taken prisoner by the Shawnee while young and raised as their own~ He married a Shawnee lady and they had at least six sons and probably one daughter, whose children were named as Paschal's nephews. She was Elizabeth. The boys were Paschal, Jr., Charles, Jesse, John, William and Isaac. Chief Fish requested a school for the children in the Kansas area, Page 39 " .". �as his children had been educated in a mission school. The Methodist Episcopal Church started the Shawnee Indian Mission near Turner, Kansas. Chief Fish died in 1834 in Wyandotte County, Kansas and his oldest son, Paschal, Jr., became head of the Tribe. Paschal Fish, Jr., was born in 1804 in Missouri and he was married before he came to this area and had some children, who were never named. They may have died in one of the terrible epidemics which decimated the Indians who had no inununity to the white man's diseases. They sometimes wiped out whole villages. The Shawnee would flee their homes and hide in the woods. In 1844 all Eudora area Shawnee fled to the woods to escape the cholera epidemic brought by the migrating white people on wagon trains. In 1849 twothirds of the tribe was afflicted. In 1831,32 and 52 were smallpox epidemics, malaria in 1835, cholera in 1837,38,42,44,49,52,54 and 55. There were measles, yellow fever and whooping cough in 1852. Paschal was a cousin of Chief Tecumseh and his twin brother, the Prophet. Paschal, Jr . was married six times. His second wife was Hester Zane, the daughter of Hannah Zane of the Wyandot Indian Tribe of Ohio and related to· the Conley sisters, who saved the Huron Cemetery in Kansas City from being moved. Paschal and Hester had four children; 1. Obadiah, born in 1848 who died in his teens, 2. Eudora A., born 1850, died 1877 in LaCygne, Kansas, age 27, 3. Leander Jackson (called Jack), born 1852 and died 1920 in Quapaw, Oklahoma and his twin brother, Andrew J., was #4. He died young before 1860. Hester died in 1852, probably from childbirth or the cholera or smallpox epidemic that year. Then Eudora and Andrew went to live with their grandmother Zane near Kansas City. Obadiah and· Jack must have stayed with ,Paschal or some other relative. The children were probably all born in the Eudora area because Paschal and his tribe moved to the Eudora area in the early 1840's and had a. ferry there, in 1846. Paschal was a blacksmith and gunsmith assistant for the Delawares in 1837 and 1838 in Leavenworth County. He was a licensed Methodist Minister from 1847-1866, a businessman and a good friend to many. Wife #3 was Consort Fish, married sometime after 1852, and she died in the 1855 cholera epidemic. Wife #4 was Martha Captain 'and she died in 1860, just after her name was placed on the Eudora Deed of February 1860, when Paschal sord 774 1/2 acres of his family's land to a German Settlement Group from Chicago, to found a town here. They named the town Eudora after Paschal's ten year old daughter. Paschal and Martha had no children but Martha had a daughter Anna Hanun, 13 years old who joined Paschal's family in 1857. Paschal married wife #5, Mary Ann McClure Steele after 1860. Paschal was also raising a niece, Mary Ann, who married Sam Wheeler, a white man. Paschal married wife #6, Jane Quinney, and she and Paschal went to Indian Territory, now Oklahoma, in 1872. They either had a child or she had a daughter. In the 1870 Douglas County Census Paschal was Page 40 'I" . • �65 and owned $2600 in Real Estate and.$350 in personal taxes. The Shawnee Indian Census in 1869 listed Paschal Fish, Leander Fish, Eudora Emmons, Dallas Emmons, Theodore Emmons, Bertie J. Emmons, and Anna Edmonds, as living in Oklahoma Indian Territory. Paschal Fish, Jr., was listed as one-half Shawnee, one-eighth Miami, . one-sixteenth Delaware and five-sixteenth white blood. Blackfish was his God father. Paschal froze to death in· February, 1894, at age 90 years. No one knows where he is buried. Paschal, and his brother, Charles, were licensed by the Kansas Legislature to operate a rope ferry over the Kansas River, northeast of Eudora in the area known as Weaver Bottom, Charles and his wife, Mary, lived near with several of their children. Charles married Mary (Henry) Barnett and they had the f,ollwing children; Elijah, John and Mary (twins) , Margaret, Thomas, and Mary had a daughter, Sally Ann. Mary Fish. and Nancy died in the cholera. epidemic of 1855. Charles paid for several burials in the old Southwest City Cemetery. Dr. Abraham Still's daughter wrote that the Germans encouraged Charles to drink and that caused his death in 1869. Col. Doniphan blazed the Military Branch of. the Santa Fe Trail from· Ft. Leavenworth, crossing at the Fish Ferry and through the present area of Eudora to meet the Santa Fe Trail at Willow Springs area, about eight miles southwest. Hundreds of soldiers, wagons, horses, and military supplies followed this shorter route from 1845, mostly in 1846. Many pioneer families also took this short cut to the trail. The soldiers wrote in their journals about the ferry and the Fish family. Paschal also ran a Papin Ferry at Topeka a couple of years. In 1854, after the Indians signed the treaty to own their reservation land individually, Paschal buil t the Fish House, a sturdy, hand-hewn log, two 'room, thatched roof house on the Fremont-Westport Trail, at the south edge of present Eudora near new Highway #10. This house was a stopove~.for early travelers by horseback, covered wagon, walkers or stagecoach. Paschal provided meals, lodging, blacksmith and other travel needs, such as he could. C.H. Dickson spent a night there when a young boy and wrote later that there was a sixteen by sixteen foot sleeping room with an open fireplace, one bed and six chairs. Bedding was buffalo robes and quilts from wagons. He slept with thirty-two people there one night while he was there. Wall to wall people!! Governor Reeder stayed hi~de~ at the Fish house one night during the pro and anti slavery sklrmlshes around Lawrence. Paschal sold his business in 1872 and went to Oklahoma where most of the Indians in Kansas had gope. Pas~hal's son, Leander Jackson, called Jack, married four times; 1. Julla Parks, 2. Rosa?, ~. Mary Katherine Large, with whom he had a son, Joseph pasca~, his ~nly ~hild. Wife 4 was Josephine Hertz. Jack promoted Indlan Leglslatlon at the Capitol in Washington, Page 41 �D.C.. His picture and his sons are in the Bureau of American Technology and Smithsonion Institute National Anthropological Archives in washington, D. C.. He built the National Hotel in Vinita, Oklahoma in 1899. He and Paschal were on the rolls of the. Quapaw Indian Nation in 1855. Eudora A. Fish married Dallas Emmons, 13 May 1868, at Qui~daro, Kansas near Kansas City. He was a bridge builder and engineer and built the walls and sidewalks for the Huron Indian Cemetery, sometimes called the Wyandot Cemetery, in 1870, where Eudora is buried. Dallas took Eudora into Indian country, now Oklahoma, in 1870 and they joined the Cherokee Indian nation, but because of her health, he took her back to Kansas but she died suddenly 10 April 1877 at LaCygne, Kansas in Linn County. A fitting marker was placed at her gravesite in 1979 at the restoration of the Huron Cemetery by the Urban Development and Planning Department of Kansas City. The four children of Eudora Fish and Dallas ~mmons were; Theodore Pascal Emmons, born 1869 at Thayer, Missouri, and he died in 1951 in Oklahoma, Bert James Emmons, born 1870 at LaCygne, Kansas and died 1900, enroute home from the Spanish-American War, Hettie Emmons was born 1872 and died in 1873 at nine month·Of age. Adelia Adair (called Nellie), was born· in 1875 and died in" 1900. She married and had a daughter. Theodore Emmons had four children by wife number one, Clara M. Hopkins. He married Sarah Caroline (Carrie) Hall of Virginia next and they had four children; Jerome M. Emmons, Eudora Emmons born 28 Nov 1913 in Oklahoma, Marjorie Emmons, born 1915 and Grace Emmons. Eudora and Marjorie visited Eudora and were proud of their connection to Eudora. They were guests in my home. Both are in poor health, living in Broken Arrow and Wann, Oklahoma. now. Eudora married Louie Reed and has two sons. Marj orie married Francis Rhodes and raise a niece. Dallas married his second wife, Hannah (Zane) Maglie, cousin, in 1880 and they lived in LaCygne, Kansas. Eudora's DR. ABRAM STILL AND THE INDIAN MISSION Paschal Fish, Jr. asked for a school in 1851 and Rev. Abraham Still, a Methodist ~inister and Missionary was sent to build and operate a Mission school for the Indian Children, near where the Wakarusa meets the Kansas river. The school building was a twostory, hewn log house with two rooms upstairs and two down and had a tI;atched roof. ~t was on Section 8, Township 13, Range 21, about a mlle from the rlver at about 1215 Elm Stret in present Eudora. Abraham Still wa~ a minister, medical doctor, farmer, carpenter and teacher. He marrled Martha Poage Moore and they had nine children seven of them" moved to the mission in 1852. Martha agreed to com~ to the Shawnee Indian reservation, in spite of the fact her Page 42 �grandfather was killed by the Shawnee. Their son, Dr. Edward Still, remained in Bloomington, North Carolina and took over his father's medical practice. Dr. James Still helped his father at the mission, preached and practiced medicine many years in town. Another son; Dr. Andrew T. Still, with his wife, Mary Elvira, came to the area in 1853, where he practiced medicine in Eudora, Baldwin and Palmyra. He was also a farmer, had a sawmill, was a member of the Kansas State Legislature on the Free State Party ticket in 1857. He was Freemont's Scout Surgeon and a Hospital Steward in 1861-62 for the 9th Kansas Cavalry and Captain Major of the 21st Kansas Volunteer Troops. He founded Osteopathy and moved to Palmyra where he was a member of the Palmyra ,Town Company. He gave a quarter section of land for Baker University in 1855. He was the father of twelve children, many dying young. His wife taught at the Mission school and was one of the first women teachers in the state. Barbara Still married Frederich Vaughn and moved to Palmyra in 1860, where they ran a general store and bought most of the town, Thomas Still went to medical school and went to California by ox team in 1863 and practiced Osteopathy. Cassandra Still and her husband, Dr. James McCollum, married in 1862 and went to California with her brothers, Tom and John. John was a, Union soldier' and lawyer. " ' Mary M. Still helped teach at the Mission School at age 13 but she and John, Marovia, and Cassandra went to a private school in' Lawrence. Mary married Rev. T.M. Adams in 1863 but she started preaching at age eighteen, was Assistant Principal of Baker University in 1858 and taught for her father at Clinton and Blue Mound. She organized a Sunday School Class for black people at Lawrence. She lost everything in the grasshopper plaque of 1874 and had seven, sick little children, went to Topeka and then on to California. She wrote a biography of her sad life. Marovia Still married Ezekiel C. Clark of Baldwin and they farmed, living near Ba'ldwin forty-five years on the Still property. Her two sons became doctors. Her Mother, Martha, died at her home in 1808. Dr. James Still had a son, Summerfield, who went to Baker University and then Medical School. He was a teacher, merchant, minister and lawyer. James practiced until 1898 and married a Eudora lady, Ella Daugherty. He founded the S.S. Still School of Osteopathy. Their son, George, was born at Eudora in 1882 and also became a Doctor. The Still family had a great influence in Douglas County. The Mission had to close in 1854 because of the slavery problem that split the Methodist Church, as Abraham was opposed to slavery. The Stills said Paschal Fish was their dearest friend. OREGON TRAIL Page 43 �The Oregon Trail was just south of present Eudora. Some trave~er's used the. Bluej acket Crossing (or Ford) on the -Wakarusa r1 ver. Several crossings were probably used. but the ones shown o~ the ma~s are between Spring Creek and the Little Wakarusa. ~The.r1verbe~ 1S solid rock there so the covered wagons would not m1re 1n the r1ver mud when crossing. At this crossing was a trading post run by the Bluejackets and later by a German, Billy de Graffenreid and sold out to Carl Bundshu in the 1850' s. They lived nearby and sold before 1860. The mileage of Pioneer trains from Westport matches this crossing area instead of the farther west one. EUDORA FOUNDED Paschal sold 774 1/2 acres of his family'S land to a German· Settlement Group from Chicago in 1856 for $10,000, but later bought back the odd numbered lots. Eudora was incorporated as a city in the fall of 1858 under Territorial laws. In April 1857, a group of sixteen. German men, four women and some children, led· by Peter Hartig, arrived at the Fish House to build the town. Their expenses were paid by the Chicago group. The formal title of Eudora was passed February 4, 1860 and signed by Indian Agent Newsom, Paschal and his family. The first election was held 10 March 1859, and. Fred Faerber was ... elected Mayor .. Records of' the City Council were written in German for many years. Eight more men came later in 1857, paying their own way. Other families came later. These founding fathers were stoncutters, carpenters, cabinet makers, a doctor, blacksmiths, wagon makers, framers and businessmen. They first built an 18 foot by 20 foot log cabin, in which everyone during the first summer. A circular saw and corn cracker was set up the first summer with money from the Chicago group. The first post office operated that fall. Eudora's original seal is on the front of the Eudora Heritage Book. A City Hall and School were built in 1860 and· is still standing as a residence. Charles C. Durr was elected Mayor in 1860 and Paschal Fish was in Washington, D. C. seeking answers to tax questions. Eudora was spared the pro-slavery skirmishes but there was a pro- slavery militia at Bluej acket crossing and Quantrill rode through Hesper killing one man as he and his gang rode to destroy Lawrence. Many Eudoran' s helped· Lawrence. rebuild by hauling lumber, stone and other supplies. Charles Durr even· took his sixteen hitch of oxen to Lawrence. Early Eudora businesses were located along the Wakarusa and were the saw mill and flour mill, grocery stores, department stores: blacksmiths, livery stables, brick plant, drug store and hotels. Some . of the names were; Brenders, Hartigs, Schleifer, Hobbs, Guflers, Pilla Brothers, Ziesenis, Getker, O.G. Richards, Durrs, etc. There was a subscription school in Eudora in 1858 and a school for black pecple of all ages built in 1865-66. The Catholic Church was built in 1864, but before that the Catholic people would have to Page 44 �spend the entire day walking to Lawrence or· if a priest came through, the Jewish Andreas Brothers would push back their counters in their store and services were held there. The Catholic school was held in the two room parish that priests built in 1865. Hesper was a small town of Quakers or Friends southeast of Eudora, started in 1854 with a grocery store, blacksmith shop, school, church and cemetery. Clearfield was another small town south of Eudora with a grocery, blacksmith, church, cemetery and school. built in 1866. Weaver was northeast of Eudora on fertile bottom land and had a grocery,. depot, post office, . and school. Now all buildings not being. taken by the river· are being town down because ... of the river cutting the land off. German Methodist and Evangelic~l Churches started in 1859 were served by Circuit Rider Ministers. Many people spoke .German until World War I. Eudora's Southwest City Cemetery was started in .1857. There was a jail in the basement of the old City Hall and School and an old fort like corncrib in the alley between Main and Elm streets, between 7th and 8th streets. This has nothing to do with Paschal Fish's land but,I love poems and this. one is in our Eudora Heritage Book from Alma Gerstenberger that her father wrote down for her to learn. Dried Apple Pies Of all the things that I ·dislike Don't give me dried apple pies. The farmer takes his earliest fruit 'Tis wormy, bitter and hard, to boot. He leaves the hull to make us cough And don't take half the peeling off. Then on a dirty cord they were strung And from some chamber window hung And there they serve as a roost for flies Until they are ready to make into pies. Give me the toothache or tell me lies ... But don't give me dried apple pies. Submitted by Fern Long, Box 125, Eudora, KS 66025 Page 45 .,. . '.', �,~ ::;'; . The Pioneer Douglas County, Kansas Genealogical society, Inc. P.O.

Webb Secretary New England Emigrant Aid Company Boston, June 26, 1856 Extracted from: Kansas Affairs House Reports 34th Congress 1st Session This volume is located in the Documents Section, Spencer Research Library, University of Kansas. -submitted by Judy M. Sweets 17 THE PIONEER, VOL. XIX, No. 3 & 4 �1(Tt/vfI:J{JSCT/J{C'E by Mr. C.H. HOYT On October 4, 1854, a small steamboat "Poplar Star" came to a stop at Westport Landing, now Kansas City, Mo., loaded with emigrants bound for Kansas. Among them was your humble servant, father, mother, and four sisters. The family lived in Kansas City the year '55. I saw the Missourians cross the river from Liberty and Boonville on their way to Kansas. They made their headquarters at the Eldridge house where I was working. I saw the late Gov. REEDER of Kansas at various times at the house on his way east. The hotel was full of drunken Missourians day and night. Gov. REEDER came downstairs into the bar room on the arm of Col. ELDRIDGE. He had on a hickory shirt and an ax over his shoulder, a pipe in his mouth, passed through the drunken crowd of Missourians out into the night. He made his escape to the boat that had been arranged for him and was taken on board of a steamer to St. Louis. Now I want to say the part the Eldridge brothers took in helping Gov. REEDER to escape was a very brave act that night. I heard sung that night for the first time "Dixie" and such other words as "Are you square on the goose," and the clink of glasses was the order of the days and nights. They would show the Yankees a thing or two. Nit. Dixie became afterwards a famous southern song. On January 9, 1856, we arrived in Lawrence. The news had just reached Lawrence that a Free Stater had been killed at eastern Leavenworth county by the border ruffians. I went to the front or firing line at the age of 11 about, on the ridge about where John SPEER's old home now stands to head off or capture the 2800 Missourians who were investing Lawrence. I was armed with a single barrel pistol, an old pepper-box revolver and if I could have got up near enough to the 2800 I would have taken them all in care with my quick firing gun. But they must have got a tip and lit out for old Mazo. I was with Lane at Lecompton and when Col. St. George MCCOOK came up with the United States marshal, Gen. LANE stepped into the ranks and took a gun, pulled his hat over eyes so the United States marshal would not see or know him. I got on Lane's old yellow horse and rode it around to the amusement of the free state boys. I was ready at all times day and night, no hardships too great for me, to ride a horse around a ring, to tramp out wheat and by the way that was about the only breadstuff we had in those dark and stormy days of '55 and '56. But time soon changed, Kansas came out of the smoke a free state and the war came on, but I think we got even with old Missouri. Served in all about 4 years and a half. All honor the men and women of '55 and '56. -excerpt from "The 56ers Enjoyed Saturday's Meeting Lawrence Journal World Sept. 10, 1900 submitted by Don Vaughn THE PIONEER, VOL.

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

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

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

He is enumerated in the home of Charles (Nannie's brother) arid Mary PROEBSTEL in the 1885 Kansas census. In that same census, Nancy is in the household of her father, Andrew PROEBSTEL. They are both listed as single. These two families lived next door to each other. William and Nannie, as she was called by her family, were married on the 17th of May 1885, in Shawnee Township, Kansas. Their wedding pictures show them to be a handsome couple. Nannie and William lived in and around Kansas City, moving several times. In 1899, William moved eight children and Nannie, expecting number nine, from Kansas to North Dakota. Aunt Tillie told the following story about that move: They left Kansas with four wagons, a carry-all and eight children (5 boys and 3 girls). On the way to North Dakota, Nannie gave birth to a child in Geddus, South Dakota and they named her Maggie Geddus SCHRIEVER.. At Cheyenne, South Dakota, while crossing the White River, one wagon came loose and floated downstream, saved by a bend in the river. It was pulled out ~fthe water, repaired and made ready to go on. Dad and boys worked at Gedd:us on the railroad and in the Black Hills in the lumber mills until it warmed up in the spring. Then they went on to North Dakota. They joined Ed WYTTENBACK (William's half-brother) in the Black Hills. The \yyTTENBACHs had two wagons. Then they went on to North Dakota together, arriving at Valley City in 1901. In 1902 they moved onto a farm south of Sanborn where three more children, Elmer, Edna and Annie were born. William and his family are enumerated on the 1910 Federal Census for Barnes County, North Dakota. The record says that the enumerations were taken from 21 April, 1910. On the 22nd of April 1910, Nancy K PROEBSTEL SCHRIEVER died at the age of 47. -------- THE PIONEER, VOL. XVIII, No. 4 - - - - - - - - - - - - --88- -- - - - - �THB SCIIIBVBIl FAMILYcontinuod That means that the record for this family could have been recorded the day before N annie died, or for sure it was taken during a time of her death and burial. When Nannie died, my mother was only five years old and her sister Annie was four. Mom tells this heartbreaking story. She said that in those days the body was laid out in the living room before the burial. It was decided that the younger children would not view their mother's body~ But just before the burial the older girls took the younger children outside and held them up to a window. From that window they had their last look at their mother. After Nannie's death, William said he would never remarry because he did not want his children to have a stepmother and be treated as he was. The older girls were assigned roles as "mother" to the younger children and were expected to take care of them Mother has shared some stories about their life in North Dakota after her mother died. At one time William decided that he wanted Edna and Annie to go to school in town. So, Tilly and Em moved to an apartment with Edna and Annie so that the girls could attend school. Well, this apparently did not work out too good, the older girls were bored and never stayed home. The younger girls started hanging out in a restaurant owned by friends of William, after school. Anyway, the activities of the girls was soon reported to William and he brought them all home. Mom thinks that is when Aunt Susie came to live with them The winters in North Dakota are severe and William insisted that a lighted candle be left on the table by a window so that anyone who may have been out or lost would have a light to follow to safety. It is that kind of story that tells me that William had strong feelings for his fellow man. Perhaps because of his childhood without parents, he was conditioned to care for others in need. On these long winter nights Aunt Susie and William would sit at the table and talk about childhood and their life with the WYTTENBACHs. Their lives were confined to the farm and that also meant that the meals they ate come from what was produced on the farm Mom tells the story about having weiners, from the store, maybe once a year. This was a real treat to the younger children so they would play a game at the meal to see who could make their weiner "last the longest". One time Elmer had made his last longer than the others and William, not aware of the game the children were playing, thought that he did not want the weiner so he reached over to Elmer's plate, forked the wiener and gave it to the dog! -89- THE PIONEER, VOL. XVIII, No. 4 �TBB BellmVBI FAMILT continuod Mom also said that her father did not like "Jam pies." Come to find out, what William called jam pies were pies that had so little fiUing that he said the two crusts were "jammed together." We visited North Dakota and Aunt Maggie in 1976 and she took us out to the farmhouse where the SCHRIEVER family lived. No one was living there so we were able to walk through the house with Aunt Maggie describing how the family lived. We went up to the upstairs rooms where the children slept. This brought to my mind another incident in my . life. When I complained about having to sleep with Janis (eleven years younger than nie), Mom told me that it washer feeling that one was lucky to sleep only two in a bed, because in her family, in North Dakota more people than that shared a bed -- sleeping crosswise. It humbled me a little. Aunt Maggie also showed us how they would dig a tunnel through the snow from the back porch of the house to the barn in the winter and she showed us the window where the lighted candle was kept. My daughters Nancy and Kathy had made a trip across country with Mom and Dad a few years earlier. They also stopped in North Dakota and were thrilled with the stories that Mom and Aunt Maggie told as they showed them through the house. Edward WYTTENBACH and his family lived in Valley City and in a sense they were considered "the rich relatives." They had a real house in town and Ed was a building contractor. Mom said that he went out at night and played cards. However, they were very surprised to find out when he died that he had gambled away all of his money and his wife, Clara, had to go live with a daughter. Byron and Dorothy SCHRIEVER have among their collection offamily mementos, a Lexington High School (in Eastern Oregon) graduation announcement for Frank Edward WYTTENBACH. Frank would have been about 22 years old and he probably traveled with the POINTER family when they moved to Lexington to farm. In 1917 William SCHRIEVER moved his family to Missouri. On the 3rd day of June 1918, he purchased from Emma LONGSHORE lots one and two in block 10 in SCOTT and COLBERN's first addition to the city of Belton, MO. THE PIONEER, VOL. XVIII, No.4 -90- �TlB SCHlmVBI FAMIL YcDnUnuad My mother told me this story about the family move back to Missouri in 1917. Emma, Edna and Emma's daughter Rose went on the train. Annie, Elmer, Maggie and Dad went in a Model T. The trip took eight days. Charles and Fred brought the spring wagon with bedding and dishes. In 1920, William SCHRIEVER is listed in the 1920 census for Cass County, Missouri. Living with him are Edna, age 13; Annie, age 12; Maggie, age 19; Elmer, age 16; Emma SMITH and granddaughter Rose SMITH. Actually, Edna would have been 14 and Annie 13. The census was taken previous to their birthdays that year. The census also said that William's mother and father were born in Ohio - one more indication that no one in the family knew anything about their father's parents. William SCHRIEVER died on February 25, 1930 at 73 years of age. He is buried in Sanborn, North Dakota. His obituary in the Cass County Democrat, Harrisonville, Missouri and dated Thursday, March 6, 1930: "Mr. SCHRIEVER was a good citizen -- he was a man of very few words but a deep thinker. He was a loving father and deeply respected by his children and his many friends. " I believe these words really describe William SCHRIEVER who I just recently have become acquainted with. Hanry Bugana SCHlmVBI Henry, the oldest of William and Nannie's children was born 30 Nov. 1885 in Kansas City, Kansas. He was obviously named for William's brother, who was probably named for Frederick's father. I do not know where "Eugene" came from I don't know much about Henry except that he spent many years in Pendleton, Oregon farming. Henry never married. He died 2 February 1952 in Pendleton, Oregon and he is buried there. Harry ByrDn SCHlmVBI Harry was born 25 February 1887 in Kansas City, Kansas. I can't find a Harry in either the SCHRIEFER or the PROEBSTEL family. Perhaps Byron came from Nannie's sister's husband Byron CLARK. Harry was in the Army during World War I and was stationed in France. Later after the war he went to eastern Oregon to work on a farm There he met and married Myrtle Magdalena McNEIL on 28 October 1925. Harry and Myrtle had three children, Jean Marie, born 17 Feb. 1928; Byron Neil, born 20 Aug. 1930 and David -91- THE PIONEER, VOL. XVIII, No.4 �TIE BeumvER PAMIL Y continued I Gordon, born 2 Jan 1933. In 1936 Harry moved his family to Mololla, Oregon. His son, David, still farms that property. Harry died in Portland, Oregon from Leukemia on 10 May 1957. Myrtle died in Canby, Oregon on 20 Oct. 1986. They are buried in the Smyrna Cemetery at Yoder, Oregon. Emma Elizabeth BellRIEVER Emma was born on 6 July 1888 in Kansas City, Kansas. Emma's name is easy. She was named fot Emma PROEBSTEL and William's sister Elizabeth. She first married Mike SMITH in 1915. They had one child, Jeannette Rose, born 29 July 1916. Em became mother of the family after Nannie died. She moved to Belton, Missouri with the family. Here she married Sid BELCHER, then later she married John CAMPBELL and lived the rest of her life in that area. She died 22 August 1972 in Harrisonville, Missouri. Matilda Louise BellRIEVER Matilda was born 15 Sep. 1889 in Argentine, Kansas. Matilda, who was called Tillie by the family, was named for Nannie's mother, Matilda, and her sister Louise. She married Henry W. SAUER in Valley City, North Dakota on 25 June 1913. They had three daughters, Grace, born 26 July 1914; Gertrude, born 28 April 1916, and Donna born 27 July 1927. Henry SAUER died 22 July 1944 in North Dakota and Tillie died 16 April 1984 in Portland, Oregon .. Bus an Gertrude BellRIEVER Susan, known as Gertie to the family, was born 7 Sept 1894 in Columbia, Kansas. Susan was obviously named for William's sister. I do not know where the name Gertrude came from She married Clifford E. JABERG on 7 March 1916 in Sanborn, North Dakota. Later they moved to Orange County, California. They had three children, William Rollin, born 27 Nov. 1917; Stella Elizabeth born 12 Oct. 1921; and Edna Angeline, born 8 Oct. 1919. Gertie died from complications of cancer 16 Aug. 1932. Clifford Jaberg died 15 march 1961. They are buried in Fairhaven Cemetery, Santa Ana, CA. Prederlck William BellRIEVER Frederick was born 15 Sept. 1895 in Kansas City, Kansas. It is perhaps coincidence, but I do think that he was named for William's father. And this would indicate that William SCHRIEVER did know the name of his family and for some reason (perhaps the hurt) THE PIONEER, VOL. XVIII, No.4 -92- �TIlB SCllmVBll PAMILT continued chose to not talk about him. Fred traveled to Kansas City with the family in 1917 and went to work in the iron works in Argentine (once the silver smelter). He never married. He died June 1918. The doctor said that it was from complications caused by working in the smelter. Arthur lett SCllmVBI Arthur, or Archie, as he was known by the family, was born 15 March 1896, Prairie Center, Kansas. Somehow Prairie Center doesn't sound right. I find a Prairie Village. Who he is named for has me stumped. However, Dorothy SCHRIEVER has a census record that leads her to believe it is a family name from "way back." Maybe one day Byron, Dorothy or I will solve it. Archie served in the Navy, probably during World War I. He married Sarah Lorene NICHOLS around 1934. They had five sons, James William, born 29 June 1935; Charles David, born 13 June 1937; Delbert LeRoy, born 24 Oct. 1938; Arthur Jeff: born 9 Aug. 1946 and James Arthur, born 25 June 1949. He died in Lexington, Missouri on 10 January 1981. Charles Bdward SCllmVBI Charles, or Chuck, as he was called in the family, was born 9 March 1898 in Prairie Center, Kansas. Charles was named for Nannie's brother Charles. He never married. He, like Henry, lived in and around Pendleton, Oregon and worked various places. I knew him because he would, occasionally, come from eastern Oregon and visit our family. After he retired, he moved to Canby, Oregon, where he lived until he died on 21 Aug. 1985. Chuck is buried in Yoder, Oregon at the Smyrna Cemetery. Maggie Geddus SCllmVBI Maggie was born on 20 July 1900 at Geddus, South Dakota. She was born during the family move from Kansas to North Dakota. Maggie was named for Nannie's sister, Margaret. She married Julius AXELSON in 1919 or 1920. They had two sons, Fredrick William, born 25 May 1929 and Allen Wayne, born 30 Aug. 1932. I do not know when Julius died. Maggie died 21 Apri11986. Blmer Grant SCnmVBI Elmer was born 11 August 1902 in Sanborn, North Dakota. It appears that Elmer was named for Henry's (William's brother) son Elmer. He was a "special child." He lived at home and was cared for by Em after their father died. Then he lived on the farm at Molalla for a period of time. He went into a facility in Portland, Oregon. He died in -93- THE PIONEER, VOL. XVIII, No. 4 �TIE SCIRmVER PAMILT continued Portland on September 9, 1955. Elmer is also buried in Yoder, Oregon at the Smyrna Cemetery. Edna Katherine SCIRmVEI Edna was born 11 April 1905 in Sanborn, North Dakota. Edna was named for Charles PROEBSTEVs daughter .. It is possible that her middle name was her mother's middle name. She went to college for a couple of years and then she taught school. She went to Mountainair, New Mexico to teach. There she met Owen Orin SABIN and they were married on 10 May 1930. They have three children, Phyllis Jean, born 28 Feb. 1932; Owen Wayne, born 2 April 1933; and Janis Elaine, born 9 April 1,943. Annie Marie' SCIImVER Annie was born 7 Sept 1906 in Sanborn, North Dakota. Annie was also named for a daughter of Charles PROEBSTEL. First she married Billy FANN and by him she had one child, William (called Billy), who was born 8 May 1925. Billy died in a drowning accident on 6 May 1934. Second she married Edward Oral SAULTZ on 11 May 1928. They lived in Belton, Missouri and had nine children. James Edward was born 11 Dec. 1929; Patsy Sue was born 27 May 1931; Gerald Eugene was born 10 July 1933; Gertrude Annette was born 18 Dec. 1937 and she died of cancer 15 Dec. 1984; Ellen Rose was born 15 July 1939; the twins Robert Oral and Barbara Marie were born 13 Dec. 1941; Donald David was born 12 May 1946 and Terri June was born 26 Nov. 1949. She died as the result of a car accident, 14 Feb. 1971. Oral SAULTZ died 20 July 1987 and Annie died 12 April 1991. They are buried in the Belton Cemetery, Belton, Missouri. All twelve children of William and Nannie SCHRIEVER are accounted for. However, "the tale is not told." It will go on and on. Byron has done a wonderful job tracking down the first cousins and getting family data from each one. Adding numbers to the generations and adding to the story is the responsibility of each of you and your children. I THE PIONEER, VOL.

There was enough to feed a regiment and have many loaves left. Mrs. HUGHES exhibited some thirty varieties of baking, including com bread, wheat bread, rye bread, silver cake, sponge cake, doughnuts and other kinds too numerous to speak of Miss Sarah BROWN also exhibited a number of samples of bread and cake. Miss A. G. DaLEE had sponge, pound and other cakes, elegant to behold and no doubt good to taste. Mrs. JOHNSON of the Lawrence House exhibited a showcase of bread and cake that was indeed tempting. Mrs. SPERRY also had a very fine display of bread and cake, most tastefully arranged for exhibition. Mrs. WILLETT enters a lot of bread and cake. Mrs. BRYANT, Mrs. ALVIN, Miss MARKMAN, Mrs. COVEL, Mrs. WALKER and Miss DOUGLAS each have a fine display of bread and cake. Mrs. RIGGS had on exhibition a fine lot of bread and cake and also splendid samples of canned fruits. Mrs. GmSON exhibited splendid samples offruit cake, bread and pickles. Mrs. J. T. GRANT, samples of different kinds of cake. Mrs. TYLER, 25 varieties of bread, cake and different kinds of baking. In examining the fine display of bread and cakes we may have failed to get the names of all exhibitors. The display in this department far exceeded anything we had expected and in the judgment of many was ahead of any State fair yet held. The ladies did well, and the interest they have taken in our county fair is highly commendable. JUCmtPTllm FROM TH£ W£SmRN HOM£ JOURNAL S£PT£MB£R 14-, 1~71, PA6£ 1 -101- THE PIONEER, VOL.

We do not know the date or place of her birth, but she came to America with a group of women known as Tobacco Women who were sent out to be the wives of settlers. Their passage was to be paid the English Govt. in tobacco. But not being chosen in marriage they were to become indentured servants for seven years. My father used to twit my mother saying, "Your grandmother was bought with Tobacco." However, Jemima landed a man and was chosen by Wal ter MATINEY, a wheelwright, and served no period of indenture. Frequently in her day the white went into block houses against the Indians. She had seen George WASHINGTON and said the Indians could not shoot him. Aunt Julia said the Indians said he led a charmed life. No arrows could touch him. Well, this Jemima married Walter MATINEY, a Scotchman. Branches of the family have spelled the name MATHNEY. She had two children recorded, Jemima the 2nd and Nancy. This Nancy was your great-grandmother and my grandmother. She married Henry COREL whose people came from Ireland. Some spelled it CURL or CORRELL. Nancy COREL MATINEY was my grandmother. I just missed being named Nancy. Henry spoke with a very Irish brogue. Mama and Aunt Julia often mimicked him. It was from them I learned that "praties" were potatoes. Nancy COREL, Henry her husband, Will their teen-age son, and Nancy's sister Jemima all died within a week of measles. The epidemic of measles at Lawrence was in the Kansas History I studied in school. Many died as they did not know what it was. They survived an epidemic of smallpox and died of measles. All four of them lay dead in the house - one room - at the same time. The neighbors came in and built coffins of native walnut lumber so abundant in Kansas at an early day. Here I might pause to tell you that our old home on 8th St. in Independence, across from the Elks, was of walnut lumber, dimensions, floor and all. Speaking of her parents, Mama said she could still hear the hammers building the coffins. Mama was fourteen. All of those who died in the measles epidemic were buried on Mt. Oread. Later this was vacated as a cemetery but the graves being unmarked it is likely their ashes are still there. So many years passed before it was vacated. In her childhood Mama had seen the chemical match and baking soda introduced. Her father had struck fire with a flint and steel. Cakes, etc. were raised by beating them a lot. You've heard of beaten biscuit. Also stoves made -105- THE PIONEER, VOL. XVIII, No.4 �FAMILY HISTORY continued their appearance. The first stoves were called step-stoves. The names to this point run MORRIS, MATlNEY and COREL. Grandmother COREL remembered the fall of the stars. They thought it an omen. Scientists have since found the cause. In the 1850's Henry COREL, my mother's father, and brothers and families, their stock, etc., came to Kansas. They came from Virginia by flatboat down the Ohio, Mississippi and Missouri Rivers. The boat foundered and they unloaded at Wyandotte and drove by schooner to Westport, Missouri using ox teams. Mama was seven years old. Kansas City was not started then. They began a homestead on Little Blue, now Kansas City's famous Cliff Drive. But finding themselves in slave territory they moved on to Lawrence, the main seat of anti-slave activity. Henry COREL died leaving his claim unproved. His brother Will proved up on this land in his own name, beating the youngsters out of their inheritance. Mama said she had seen a steamboat on the river at Lawrence in a time of high water. This is a disputed subject but Mama stood pat. JOHN SALATHIEL COMES TO LAWRENCE This is where the SALATHIELS come in. John SALATHIEL was born in Ironton, Ohio. He ran off at 12 years and was a cook's helper on a river boat. He came to Kansas on horseback in the l850s with two young fellows. He said the first impression of Kansas was the profusion of wild flowers. He went into the clothing business in Lawrence, also general merchandise. This is where he and Jemima COREL met. His father was dead and he moved his mother and sister Mary to Lawrence. His mother was bedridden. John SALATHIEL is listed in Oswald Garrison VILLARD's John Brown Fifty Years Later as one of John BROWN's Stubbs Co. These men formed a sort of underground to get abused slaves out of Missouri into the underground railway and to Canada. When the monument to John BROWN was erected in Osawatomie, Kansas shortly before World War I, there were only 3 living members of the Stubbs Co. I guess it was in about 1912. They wanted Papa to come and sit on the platform. He refused, saying they had no idea they were making history. He went to the celebrating, however. John BROWN was a Cromwellian fanatic, took every horrid command in the Bible literally. John SALATHIEL' s parentage. John and Jane SALATHIEL were parents of Morgan SALATHIEL. This ancestor was very religious and active in what was called the Independent Church. He and his wife Jane never left Wales. Morgan, their son and my father's father, was born in Cardiff, Wales on April 1, 1800 and married Margaret THOMAS at Tradagar, Wales Mumuttshire. She was the daughter of David and Mary THOMAS of Tradagar. Morgan and Margaret came to America in 1830. This Margaret was Papa's mother. So you see John SALATHIEL was a full-blooded Welshman. Morgan died in 1846 in Kimuand (spelling not clear) Virginia. His wife Margaret, Papa's mother, died in Lawrence in 1861 and was buried on Mt. Oread. THE PIONEER, VOL. XVIII, No.4 -106- �FAMILY HISTORY continued John was born at Ironton, Ohio on April 30, 1836. His sister Mary was born in Wales. Your mother was named for Aunt Mary HOWELL. The name SALATHIEL is Jewish through Greece. The Hebrew is really Shealtiel as you will find in some Bibles. Salathiel was the character written of much in fiction as the Wandering Jew. He was the one in The Apocrypha who spat on Jesus. He said, "Tarry thou 'till I come." Eugene SUE wrote a book of the same. Also the Prince of India by Lew WALLACE and Salathiel. the Wandering Jew used this legendary character. But to go back, the SALATHIEL from whom we sprang, came to Wales from Land's End. Oh yes, while I remember it, the legendary SALATHIEL rejuvenates everyone hundred years. This SALATHIEL was a metal worker and the discovery of tin in Wales brought him there. He had some sort of a foundry. He intermarried as did his descendants and Wales has many SALATHIELS, so many people have told me. This is Grandpa's background as told us by Aunt Mary. She said it was 500 years before their time that the Jewish blood could be traced. SO doubtless we are pretty mixed. Although on the Welsh side this strain, outside the Jewish blood, dates back from the Druids. Well, you know pretty much the rest. John and Jemima had nine children - John, Charles, Margaret, Thomas, Julia (who died as a baby), Henry, Walter, Agnes and Mary Jane. John never married. He died in a mine accident in Colorado. MIXED DATA OF FAMILY HISTORY Mama's father, Henry COREL, was better educated than the average of his time. He was a graduate of an academy and taught. When they came to Missouri he taught school and was furnished the food, etc. instead of wages. A rich man who owned many negroes but couldn't read or write furnished a log building. Mama said there was an old negro who came to carry the children across the creek. She said she felt so safe snuggled up to his shoulder. Jemima SALATHIEL had three sisters. Julia (18441930) married Willis MYERS and lived in Chetopa, Kansas. Lida lived in Texas and died in a storm. Her married name was McGEE. Her son, Robert Lee McGEE visited us. Rebecca, the little sister, lived with an aunt. When Mama married she took Rebecca and raised her. Rebecca was married from Mama's house to Giles PARMAN. He was a banker in Condon, Oregon. Rebecca died at the birth of twins. Lloyd PARMAN was one twin. I met him in Portland. Then there was Ethelyn FROMAN who was a graduate of Forest Grove College and taught. She is nice and seems much like us. I mean physically resembles our side. I saw a picture of Rebecca and her husband, and if I hadn't known I would have said it was Mama. -107- THE PIONEER, VOL.

Grandma was married from the McGEE home in Westport, Missouri. McGEE Street in Kansas City, Missouri is named for this . family. Mama said she was married in white Swiss, resembling organdy, and wore a veil. Papa wore a shawl such as you see in Lincoln pictures. He also had a lantern of nickel, a tiny one which was quite the dog and carried by swank young men going to calIon their girls. Grandpa's mother, born in Wales, claimed second sight. She had "visions." Grandpa's sister Mary HOWELL's husband was an architect and came to Lawrence from the south. It is thought that John SALATHIEL's father Morgan came with two brothers from Wales to America, and that one brother returned. Lyndon SALATHIEL of Pontiac, Michigan, supplied this information.

After delving into our town's beginning we find its birth had actually taken place at an earlier age. Palmyra could be considered the mother plant and from its growth and branching Baker and Baldwin were formed but only to discard the maternal roots on their way. To consider the founding of Baldwin one must first relate the history of the others. The first settlement near the townsite of Palmyra was in 1854 by Robert and Richard PEARSON. Others listed in the first settling were L. F. GREEN and Jacob CANTRELL, who took up claims. They were followed by L. N. SNYDER, H. BARRICKLOW, Dr. STILL, lA ABBOTT, D.F. GREEN, D. FRY, W. BARRICKLOW and others in 1855-1856. In June 1855, a town site of320 acres was surveyed and laid offby the Palmyra town company. Palmyra laid just north of Highway 56 which was recorded as First street and bordered on the west at about the Vinland road. Names of the streets, running east and west, were Barricklow, Sumner, Jasper, Fremont, Main, Washington, Locust, Reeder and Howard. Members of the first town company were James BLOOD, president, Capt. SAUNDERS, Amasa SOULE, L.F. GREEN, Dr. AT. STILL, D. FRY, Robert PEARSON and three BARRICKLOW brothers. It is interesting to note that on the survey Baker University was shown to the north of the city of Palmyra and the Baker lands tract south of Palmyra. Dr. Abraham STILL had moved from the Wakarusa Mission near Eudora to Blue Mound where he built a house. In the winter of 1857 a Methodist Educational Convention was called to meet at his home. Dr. STILL offered his place for a college site at this meeting. Members of the convention decided to let Dr. STILL decide on the location and name for the new school that the convention wanted to found in this area. He chose Baker after Bishop BAKER, a member of the first annual conference held in Lawrence in 1856. Dr. STILL's oldest son, Andrew Taylor STILL, moved to Baldwin in 1856 and was one of the leading members of the Palmyra Town Co. listed in the above paragraph. It was in 1858 that the town company purchased a section ofland adjacent to the city of Palmyra on the south and donated it to the Kansas Educational Association in consideration that they agree to locate an institution oflearning on it. -109- THE PIONEER, VOL. XVIII, No.4 �THE FOUNDIN6 OF BALDWIN ern' CONTINUED It was about this time that John Baldwin enters the picture. The furthering of education was this man's life's passion. Born in Bramford, Conn. in 1799, he went from there to Ohio and through his work founded the Baldwin Institute at Beer in 1845, named in his honor. The name of this school was later changed to Baldwin University. John BALDWIN then came to the Kansas Territory in 1858. He located in Palmyra and roomed and boarded with John STILL, a son of Dr. STILL. Through letters, one of Dr. STILL's daughters relates some interesting facts about Mr. BALDWIN. She refers to him as Father BALDWIN and said that he and Dr. STILL were very good friends. One can see why the two would naturally be drawn to each other in their passion for education and religion. Mr. BALDWIN worked with Dr. STILL on plans for the new school and as the plans progressed buildings were erected on the site south ofPlilmyra named Baldwin. It was decided that Milton BALDWIN, son of John, was to take charge of the new college when it was ready. However, he died of typhoid fever in August 1858 just as the new school was at its beginning. John BALDWIN had other interests for history tells us that he was an astute businessman. The Kansas Messenger, one of the first newspapers in Baldwin, dated Jan. 1, 1859, and edited by Prof B. R CUNNINGHAM relates this story, "A saw and grist mill, located at 5th and Indiana built by Mr. BALDWIN, is now in operation. There are two saws and if the winter should, as many think, be as warm as the last, they will accomplish a large amount oflabor. The grist mill is from a forward pattern and will doubtless do first rate work. " Records show that the first post office at Palmyra was founded June 29, 1857, with Norman BLOOD as the first postmaster. The name was changed to Baldwin City post office May 22, 1862, which would indicate that the town of Baldwin was then in existence even though it was not incorporated until September of 1870. Whatever the dates, Baldwin grew with the college and the mill and the business district moved from the Palmyra site to the present Baldwin City. John BALDWIN did not stay to live in the town named in his honor. He returned to Ohio soon after his son's death and later bought lands in Louisiana for schools (1867). He died in 1884 in Louisiana and is buried in Berea. Only the grave of his son, Milton, marked in the old Baldwin cemetery, remains as a reminder of our namesake.

MAKING THEM HAPPEN THE DISAPPEARING PACES - The Art of Losing your Pamilv When was the last time you had a black and white photograph taken? Mine was in 1953; I was 17 and in a cap and gown for high school graduation. My kids appear in a b/w portrait probably taken in 1962 -- but from then on, everything is in color. Even though great advances in color film have been made since it was introduced after the "Big War" (WWII to you younger folk), there is still strong feeling that color photos, both snapshot and portrait, will last only about 50 years. And that is if good quality paper (like Kodak paper) is used. Already my kids' own high school graduation photos (from 1975 and 1977) have shifted color and are fading. My oldest daughter's beautiful wedding portrait from 1973 is all in shades of the palest yellow and soon will need to come down off the wall because the image will be gone. Some images of my grandkids are already disappearing - especially those darling shots taken at the malls and department stores. When these are gone, there will be no photographic records of them left, because no one uses black and white film any more. If you're my age, your descendants down the road may know what you looked like at an early age but they'll never know what your kids and grandkids looked like unless you take immediately put a roll of black and white film in your camera and get a series of snapshots of each of your kids and grandkids-as well as of you and your significant other. Another alternative is for you to take black and white shots of all your important photos! This is not hard to do. It helps, of course, if you have a camera with interchangeable lens, because you can use a close up lens and get some really good black and white reproductions. But if you don't have such a camera, you don't have to be left out. Individually you can ask a friend with a more sophisticated camera to take them for you, with you paying for the film and developing. Secondly, you can take your color photos to a photo lab and have them done for you (a more costly way but at least you will have a black and white photo whose image will last practically forever.) Or thirdly, you can arrange with a photographer to come to your genealogical society meeting at which time he or she will make black and white copies of color color portraits or snapshots you bring. The photographer, if he or she is a genealogist, may offer to do this for no charge other than her cost. Details can be negotiated. Because I want my descendants to have the chance at knowing what my family looked like, I made a resolution that by year's end 1995, I would have a complete black and white photographic record of my family. I still have a few left to take -- with two great-grandbabies due this fall. Digging for roots is fun, but documenting our families for posterity is invaluable. Don't let inertia or inexperience keep you from doing this very important task. Prom a talk g1ven by Bobby Title -111- THE PIONEER, VOL.

I �'" '1£ FAJRMERS ANNUAL FESTIVAL FOR DOU6LAS COUNTY THE BAB" SHOW! \' The great event of the first day was the baby show, which took place at 2 o'clock. In the center of the circular building a stand had been erected for the purpose of exhibiting the little jewels. For the finest baby under one year old, there were twenty-one entries, and a handsome lot of babies they were, too. Douglas County can excel in babies. She ought to be proud of her babies. The mothers are, at all events, and we would not be certain but some of the fathers exult a little. There is something pleasant in the thought of having a baby that can compete for a prize, even should the prize not be won. Babies are jewels that belong to well-regulated families, and there was a good many well-regulated families on the grounds yesterday. The babies under one year that competed yesterday belonged, respectively, to the households of Mrs. Robert STEELE, Mrs. W. M. HOULTON, Mrs. N. OLIN, Mrs. 1. W. SCHULTZ, Mrs. 1. W. GOODHUE, Mrs. Daniel FREEMAN, Mrs. W. H. WILLETTS, Mrs. Ino. WEBBER, Mrs. A. B. KELLOGG, Mrs. Ionathan WEAVER, Mrs. Ino. DUMOT, Mrs. Pleasant mATT, Mrs. R M. PHll.,LIPS, Mrs. C. RALLSTON, Mrs. S. TIERS, Mrs. D. T. MITCHELL, Mrs. R .D. ADAMS, Mrs. D.W. LITTELL, and Mrs. C. A. FARIS. As the hour of two o'clock approached, twenty-one anxious mothers petted the little darlings, and wondered how the blue ribbons would look when attached to theirs, the premium baby. The superintendent of Class "0" felt the fearful responsibility that was upon him. The awarding committee consisted of Gov. HARVEY, Dr. WRIGHT, Maj. MCGLAUGHLIN, Mrs. 1. W. CLOCK and Mrs. BALDWIN. The committee set about their work, and after examining the babies and taking their names, held a consultation of some half an hour. The question to decide was a diffic~t one. How could they please one mother and displease twenty others. No jury ever deliberated more cautiously upon the fate of a fellow mortal. The decision was finally made in favor of Mortimer Clair LITTELL, a bright little boy seven and a half months old. EXCERPTED FROM TIlE WESTERN HOME JOURNAL SEPTEMBER t4, t~7t THE PIONEER, VOL.

Paul Mary Ferreror Ponziglione di Borgo d'ALES, a Jesuit priest, a descendant of the royal Italian families, GUERRAS and PONZIGLIONES, began his missionary labors in Southeastern Kansas, and in 1857 established a missionary station at Prairie City, Kansas. This is the first record we have of any permanent Catholicity in or near the City of Baldwin. THE EARLY CATIIOLIC cnURCH RECTORY In West Baldwin . ......_J The mission comprised about fifteen families, being mostly immigrants from Ireland and France . In 1859, Father SCHACHT built a small stone church about 20 x 30 feet at a cost of about $400.00. The title of the church was The Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. In 1870, Rev. Felix SWENBERGH, the successor of Father PERRIER, built a parochial residence adjoining the church. This was a two story building 18 x 34 feet, built of stone, cost about $600.00. Part of the ruins still stand. Here in the priest's house a small Catholic school was maintained for a short time. Instruction was given by a lay teacher. The parish in 1870 numbered about fifty (50) families, still mostly French and Irish nationality. The old church was now too small for the increasing congregation, and in 1893, Rev. Joseph A. POMPENEY, D.D. collected $1500.00 for a new church. This new church, located in West Baldwin, is a frame structure 30 x 50 feet, seating about 200 people, and cost about $1800, and is still used as the parish church of Baldwin. In 1907, Rev. O. E. DEGAN buH t an addi tion to the church, 14 x 28 feet, consisting of two rooms for the accommodation of the priest whilst in Baldwin. Father DEGAN also decorated the interior of the church-and added a gallery for the choir. Altogether improvements amounting to $3000.00 were made during the pastorate of Father DEGAN (1907 to 1910). On Easter Sunday, 1918, Rev. Thaddeus BARTTRO was appointed pastor of Ottawa and Baldwin. During this time of Father BARTTRO's pastorate, until he was succeeded by Father Cowel O'NEAL in 1934, Annunciation Church at Baldwin was redecorated inside and outside and other needed improvements costing in all about $1000.00 were made. In 1937, Father Lorenz RIETH, was appointed to care for the Baldwin Mission. The church was again redecorated inside and outside, new light fixtures and a furnace were installed and other improvements made all at a cost of about $3000.00. In 1952, Rev. Paul W. MILLER was appointed pastor of Eudora Parish and Baldwin Mission. And in 1956 a new Hammond Electric Organ was installed. THE PIONEER. VOL. XVIII. No. 3 -47- �ANNUNCIATION PARISH continued In 1964, the two rooms adjoining the south side of the church were removed and a 30 x 30 foot frame building with basement was built. Also city water and sewer connections were made. It is used for Religious Instructions, meetings, and social activities. In August 1966 Father Thomas A. KEARNS was appointed pastor of the Edgerton Parish and Baldwin Mission. About 30 family units are involved in the Baldwin Catholic community at this time. In all, improvements of about $6,000 have been made during the pastorate of Father KEARNS. In August 1970, Father Richard BURGER was appointed Pastor of Edgerton Parish and Baldwin Mission.

CONJUGATING NAMES - The Art of Finding Your Lost Family ~know what our family name was. But the census taker and the indexer and the judge either heard the name differently or spelled it differently. Our puzzle is to figure out what they did with our names! I have two systems for name-hunting: very simply, a vowel system and a consonant system. The vowel system is obvious. If the name begins with a consonant, I try the name systematically with a,e,i,o and u. My Irishsounding Douglas County "LaHay" family were really st. Genevieve Co., Missouri "Lihaise"s, (which accounts for the fact that they all had French g·iven names.) Toussaint Lihaise became Townsend LaHay in Douglas County, his son Francois Lihaise became Frank LaHay. The consonant system is based on the Soundex coding: if the surname begins with a P, I see what other consonants have the same code on the soundex (in this case B) -- and by applying it to my "Puckett" family, which seemed not to have been enumerated if one judged from the Kansas 1860 Census index, I found them listed as "Bucketts", a name so far off that without this system I never would have thought to look under a "B". The most valuable lesson I have learned in my 10 years of researching is to be methodical, a trait which doesn't come naturally to me but which I force upon myself because I see it produce r~sults. Doing what I call "Conjugating my Names· gives me a pretty complete list of name possibilities. Systematic checking eliminates the need for doing things twice -- and gives me a good laugh sometimes!

On 8 Jan 1857 in Livingston County, Illinois he married Martha L. STRANGER of said county. In February 1860 until August 1860 in Douglas County, Kansas, and at diverse times defendant committed adultery with one Gardner RICHARDS and that S1nce that time she left petitioner and he believes she resides at West Bend in Wisconsin. Subpoenas issued for George MORDECAI, Cyrus H. RICHARDS, Mary RICHARDS, Xenophan RICHARDS. Witnesses for defendant: George MORDECAI, William BRYMAN and Mrs. BRYMAN. Answer: She denies any and all material allegations because: Plaintiff has no right to ask court for the decree demanded because plaintiff did at the town of West Bend in Wisconsin and at various other places in July 1865 and at various other times commit wilful, open and notorious adultery. Asks court to dismiss petition and she recover costs. Letter: " ... 1 am not guilty of the cause brought against me by Oscar G. RICHARD and furthermore swear that I did not leave the said Oscar G. RICHARD with my own will and that he drove me from my home and also my children without cause or provocation and that the said Oscar G. RICHARD sa,id he did not love me and did not want to live with me for a cause that is unknown to me, for I love the said Oscar RICHARD with true virtuous love and would rather have suffered everything, even death, than to have left him. Oscar G. RICHARD was jealous of me in the summer of 1866 but not as he has stated in the petition with one Gardner RICHARDS, but he solemnly forgave me for so doing and we have lived together seven years since, til the 5 of July when he came home and said he did not love me and did not want to live with me and if I would give him a divorce he would divide the property and give me half and give me money to take me to my friends, but I did not want to go and can prove it by 8 or so different persons and that I am willing to live with the said Oscar G. RICHARDS as long as I live, but the said Oscar R. RICHARDS drove me from him without no other cause than he said he did not love me. Therefore I shall not answer said peti tion in favor of the petitioner and since I cam away he wants to slander my character and also to take my property from me and leave me a helpless creature without anything to help myself and children. I am living under the doctor's care with a lame limb and he knows that I am not capable of taking care of myself and shall, if it is in my power and the law can do justice by me, to make him take care of me and my children as long as he shall live unless he will sign over 1/2 of the property to me, then if it must be so I will give him a bill of divorce but would rather live and enjoy life happily with him than do so and if there is any mercy in heaven and justice in law I hope I shall receive my just dues.

' Defendant files answer: denies all allegations -52- THE PIONEER, VOL. XVIII, No. 3 �WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO ____ _ GILES PARMAN By Lena Mae Hanneman 1959 permission of Garnett Parman Bettancourt of Condon, Oregon On May 14th, 1882, my father, Francis Marion SHANNON, and my mother, Ella Nora MYERS were married in Neodasha, Kansas. On May 17th, three days later, they, with Uncle Giles and Aunt Betty PARMAN and their five children started for Oregon in covered wagons drawn by mule teams. The Parman children were Julia, age nine years, Ethelyn, Helen, George and Lloyd, a babe 1n arms. They started from Dunn's Station, a small place on Fall River, near Neodasha. Uncle Giles sold his small farm of 80 acres and decided to come to Oregon. He had two covered wagons drawn by four mule teams. One of these teams was driven by my father. A Mr. and Mrs. Ham ODEM and two children left Neodasha the same day, headed for the west. Mr. ODEM was a blacksmith by trade and was a very handy man to join the party. They came from Dunn's Station through to Wichita, Kansas, then turned almost west along the Arkansas River and Santa Fe railroad to Dodge City, Kansas. The state of Kansas went prohibition in 1881, but that didn't have much effect in the far west. The city was wide open. They stopped at one of the saloons to get a drink of beer. While there, two men walked in with a Winchester rifle, two pistols or revolvers and knives in their boots and started shooting because the service was too slow. People from the surrounding country brought their large herds of cattle to Dodge City to be shipped out to Chicago. There was a herd of 5,000 waiting to be shipped, and many very rough looking cowboys were working at looking after this large herd, all with guns strapped on them. While the party that was headed west was camped at Dodge City, a terrible hail storm came up, causing the mules to stampede. The folks had to grab their bedding and put it over their heads to keep from getting hurt, the hail stones were so large. From Dodge City they turned north to Colorado Springs and camped near the foot of Pike's Peak. They went from there to Denver, then to Fort Collins where they were joined by a Mr. and Mrs. James SCOTT. The next stop was Laramie City, which joined the Old Oregon Trail. They stayed six weeks at Laramie City because of an Indian scare. While there, Uncle Giles' mules got away from him and it took nearly the six weeks to find them, as they had started back home. He was gone most of that time, which caused much worry and anxiety for the rest of the part. The Indians were on the warpath and they were afraid Uncle Giles might have been killed. The next town was Granpere and the towns from then on were very small to Boise City, Idaho. The Oregon Short-line was being built from Boise to Baker, Baker to LaGrande, LaGrande back to Baker. THE PIONEER, VOL. XVIII, No. 3 -53- �CROSSING THE PLAIN, continued From there the party went to Bully Creek country in Malheur County. By this time it was getting cold and fall-like, near the middle of November. So they decided to winter on the head of Indian Creek which empties into Bully Creek. Here they found one deserted cabin, so Uncle Giles PARMAN, with the help of my father and the two other men built two more cabins out of juniper logs. One was just a small cabin and the other was 30 feet long by 14 feet wide with a fireplace in one end made out of rock and mud. The cracks in the cabins were filled with mud to keep the cold out, and the floors were dirt packed down as solid as they could make them. That winter was a cold hard one, ps the snow was very deep and heavy. When it began to melt in the spring, the roof on the large cabin caved in, flooding the place. This was the first Chinook they had ever seen. The men were busy all winter making posts, but didn't know what they were g01ng to do with them. In the spring of 1883, my father and mother went to work for the Great Cattle Co. "Miller & Lux." My father rode for the cattle and did whatever there was to do, and my mother cooked for the crew of men and cowboys. Sometimes she would have 30 or more for a meal. The ranch was very large -- one could get on a horse at Harper's and ride to Sacramento, California and still be on their ranch. Miller & Lux bought 4,000 posts from the men and Uncle Giles delivered them. While my father and mother were there working, they received a letter from my Grandfather MYERS, my mother's father, and the father of Uncle Elgin and Uncle Walter, the only two of the original MYERS family still living. My Grandfather had sold his place in Kansas and wanted to come West and join their daughter and son-in-law (my father and mother,) who had come West as bride and groom the early summer before. On March 2nd, 1883, Sarah Elizabeth SHANNON was born in the big log cabin. She was my oldest sister, the first of 8 children. In the early fall of that year, Grandfather and Grandmother MYERS and their 7 boys (oldest 16) and one girl Cora, the youngest of the family, age 2 years, left Kansas to join their oldest child, my mother, who was 17 years old when she married and my father was 20. Two other families came with them. However, they did not suffer the hardships my parents did, as they came to the nearest railroad station, Mountain Home, Idaho, by train, then took a stage to Boise City, Idaho, where Uncle Giles and my father met them in two covered wagons and brought them to Malheur County. From there that same fall, they moved and wintered on Hoover Creek, this side of Fossil. In the early spring of 1884, my father and mother went back to their camp on Indian Creek to look after the camp mules and a cow and a garden, while Uncle Giles took a team of mules and a hack to go on a scouting trip to see where they might like to settle. He went to Baker, LaGrande, Pendleton and then to Summit Springs, later known as Condon. The entire country was covered with sagebrush and tall waving grass. After looking the country over, Uncle Giles decided he liked Summit Springs better than anything he had seen on his trip. -54- THE PIONEER, VOL. XVIII, No. 3 �CROSSING THE PLAIN, continued By this time, they had moved back to the Fossil Country all eager to get settled in a place of their own. Grandfather MYERS, my father and Uncle Giles filed on their homesteads this same spring. They were also entitled to what was known as a timber culture, which consisted of 1670 acres, one quarter of railroad land (160 acres) and a preemption at $1.25 per acre. Each could own 640 acres. Uncle Giles' first wife, Aunt Betty, died in childbirth two years after they had settled on their homesteads. Twins were born, a boy and a girl. The boy lived to be 9 months old. The girl was buried with her mother. It was the first, or one of the first, graves in the Condon cemetery. Aunt Betty was alone with her children when she started labor. Julia, age 11 years, got on a horse to go for my mother and got lost in the fog at night. By the time my mother arrived. Aunt Betty was dead. The families had a very hard time for many years. After Aunt Betty's death, Uncle Giles would go out to work with his teams, leaving the five small children on the homestead weeks at a time. The neighbors would go to see them whenever they could. My father too was away from home working to get provisions to feed his family. He worked at Parker's Mill in Fossil until the spring of 1885, then came home and settled on his homestead. He had earned $500. By that time, he was the father of two children, as Lee was born the fall of 1884. The spring that they all filed on their homesteads, there was only one house and a barn at Summit Springs. A man by the name of POTTER lived there. Many changes have come about during the years from 1882 to 1919. My grandfather's place has changed hands several times. The POTTERs own it now. My father owned and lived on his ranch until 1947, when he passed away at the age of 85. My mother passed away in the spring of 1920 at the early age of 55 years. Strange to say, my father's ranch still remains in the SHANNON family. My brother Walter owns it, and his son Jack and wife Jeannie and their 4 children live on it. (They've had a fifth child since this original report.) Likewise the PARMAN ranch has always remained in the PARMAN family. Uncle Giles sold it to his two sons, George and Lloyd, many years ago. Uncle Giles moved to an acreage near Portland where he lived for 26 years. He passed away at the age of 84. His granddaughter, Janet PARMAN KIRKPATRICK and her husband Herbert and children John and Ann own and live on the original homestead today. There are only two of the original Giles PARMAN family living at the present time. Julia May BORGES, age 88, lives at, Bell California, near her daughter Ruby Graves OYERLEESE, and Lloyd, age 81 or 82, living in Eugene, Oregon. NOTE: Uncle Giles PARMAN's father was married to Grandfather MYERS' step sister. In 1893, Uncle Giles married the second time. In the fall of 1962, the Jack SMITHs purchased the PARMAN ranch, then owned by the KIRKPATRICKS, so the PARMAN ranch is still owned by relatives of Uncle Giles PARMAN, as Margaret Ann SMITH is the youngest daughter of George and Robena PARMAN, granddaughter of Uncle Giles PARMAN.

As the group became too large to meet in homes, its meetings were moved to the assembly room of the Old Castle, the first college building of Baker University. Here they met for ten years and many men served as their leaders or pastors. As early as 1863 the congregation had Visions of its own church building and in 1864-65 had purchased lots at Dearborn and 7th. In 1867-68 the Ladies Sewing Circle or Ladies Aid undertook the building of a stone church that cost when completed $6,000. this building served the community as a church until 1885 when the services were moved to the college Chapel in Centenary Hall. At the time Dr. Samuel S. Murphy was the pastor and a new church was needed. During his pastorage of7 years the cornerstone of the brick church was laid by Bishop H. W. Warren on the site of the present church edifice. The building cost $30,000 and was dedicated free of debt Feb. 14, 1904. Through the years the big red brick church has been one of the focal points of Methodists and the people of Baldwin. On Nov. 30, 1930 the church caught fire and burned to the ground. Following the shock of the loss of the church that was such a vital part of the life of the community, plans were made that very day to build a new church. The whole town helped in many unselfish ways. Rev. Wiley A. Keve, the present building of Bedford Sandstone was completed and used first for Baker's Baccalaureate on May 29, 1932. Dr. James Chubb came to Baldwin as the pastor in 1934 and was here until 1942. It was during his ministry that the name of the church was changed from the Methodist Episcopal church to the First Methodist church. During his pastorate the Methodist church and the Methodist South were united. The dedication of the present church building with all the debts paid was made by Bishop Wm C. Martin on May 26, 1946. The Wesleyan Service Guild was organized in 1948; the 100 year anniversary sermon by Bishop Dawson in 1955, the Crop program, the Chex program, the Bulletin Board, designed to carry out the lines of the church erected in 1960; the new pipe organ in 1963 and Markham Memorial Carillon -- all these and more were accomplished by the thoughtful planning and diligent work of the pastor and the congregation. In 1967-68-69-70, the general conference used the facilities of Baldwin and Baker University. During this time in July 18, 1868 the Uniting Service of the union of the United Methodist Church and the Evangelical United Brethren church in Kansas took place in Baldwin. Many people through the years have contributed much to this church. Our pastors have kept to the high ideals established throughout the years. They have counseled our youth; comforted the sick; and they have led us to the source of all wisdom The laymen have given money, time, gifts and effort.

During the very long period from 1629 to 1775, the present area of the United States was settled by at least· four large waves of English-speaking immigrants. The first was an exodus of Puritans from the east of England to Massachusetts during a period of eleven years from 1629 to 1640. The second was the migration of a small Royalist elite and large numbers of indentured servants from the south of England to Virginia (ca. 1642-75). The third was a movement from the North Midlands of England and Wales to the Delaware Valley (ca. 16751725). The fourth was a flow of English-speaking people from the borders of North Britain and northern Ireland to the Appalachian backcountry mostly during the half century from 1718 to 1775. These four groups shared many qualities in common. All of them spoke the English language. Nearly all were British Protestants. Most lived under British laws and took pride in possessing British liberties. At the same time, they also differed from one another in many other ways: in their religious denominations, social ranks, historical generations, and also in the British regions from whence they came. They carried across the Atlantic four different sets of British folkways which became the basis of regional cultures in the New World.

No. 3 �SPJlIJlG TAIlS: THE SClllmVEa FAMILT By Phyllis J. Douglas PAIT 3 Frederick W. SCnmFBI and Louisa TlUDDI. Frederick SCHRIEFER has been the mystery man in our past. He died a young man, left four young children and a widow, Louisa, who also died five years later. Essentially the children were orphans. On the 23rd day of August 1856, Frederick SCHRIEFER appeared in the Spencer County, State of Indiana, Circuit Court and reported himself for naturalization. In this document he stated that he was a native of Hannover, Germany, aged 31 years, that he embarked at Bremen and arrived at Baltimore on the 20th day of November 1'856. This arrival year cannot be correct. The declaration is dated August of 1856. It is my theory that Frederick SCHRIEFER followed the Gerhard Heinrich SCHRIEFER family to the United States, arriving Nov. 20, 1846. Frederick married Louisa TAGONER (this name has been spelled several ways) on August 10, 1848, in Ohio County, Indiana. Ohio County is a tiny county right on the Ohio River and adjacent to Ripley County. Louisa was born in Germany on 18 February 1822, but beyond that I know nothing of her parentage. Their first child, Henry, was born on December 8, 1850. Elizabeth was born ca 1853, then came Susanah ca 1855 and last, our grandfather, John William, on 4 Nov. 1856. On June 25, 1857, from Spencer County, Indiana, Frederick SCHRIEFER wrote his will. It read: "I, Frederick SCHAFER, beleaving that I must shortly depart this life and as it has pleased the Lord to intrust me some worldly estate personally and seal and to affectionate my will and desire that my wife Louisa SCHAFER shall have the right to settle my estate, further I want her to have all my property as long as she lives after my debts are paid. After her death I want my children to have what is left of my estate. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 25th day of June, 1857. Signed: Frederick (X his mark) SCHAFER. Attest: Andrew WETZEL, Henry Schierbaum and Andrew HOOFMIER. The presence of this will tells us that Frederick knew of his impending death. Our grandfather William was only about 7 months old when this will was written. The 1860 Federal Census for Indiana enumerates this family in Spencer County, Clay Township. Frederick is listed as 35 years of age, a farmer and his birthplace as Germany. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - _ . ---- THE PIONEER. VOL. XVIII. No. 3 -65- �TIlE SCIllmVEIl rAMIT continued Louisa is listed as 37 year of age and her birthplace as Germany. The four children are all listed as born in Indiana. Frederick died on 24 August 1861. He was 36 years old and had lived in the United States for only 15 years. His will was recorded in Spencer County on 3 Sept. 1861. He is buried in the Santa Claus German Methodist or Campground Cemetery near Carter Twp. He is listed as Friedrich W. SCHRIEFER in the Spencer County Cemetery Records. Vol. ill. EITEl CIIlISTIAI wmBlBACI In this story we must discuss Christian WYTTENBACH. Initially, he was to me the mean Methodist minister who was the stepfather to Frederick's children. Yet, as I have searched for records on this family, I find that Christian WYTTENBACH probably played a "larger" role in the lives of Frederick, and certainly Louisa, than we will ever knOw. A History of Spencer County, found in the Rockport, Indiana library, gives a history and founding of the German Community and Church, later known as Santa Claus. It states: "In the quarterly conference meeting, held at Boonville, in the fall of 1849, Dietrich HANNING, a Spencer County settler, met Christian WYTTENBACH. Their association became so congenial that Christian WYTTENBACH purchased a farm near the HANNINGS. He fell in love with this community and invited German migrant families to come and buy up the surrounding farm land. He advertised in the "Apologete (Christian Advocate) for migrants. It was his forceful personality that made the Santa Claus church and community an organized unit." Christian WYTTENBACH was the first preacher of Santa Claus, from 1849 to 1851. It is my theory that sometim~ before 1854, from Ohio or Ripley County, Frederick and Louisa, Gerhard Henry, Ernst, John H. and Henry SCHRIEFER answered Christian WYTTENBACHs call and located in Santa Claus. WYTTENBACH left Santa Claus in 1851 and continued his ministry as a circuit preacher in Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky until 1863. At that time, he was a widower, with nine children. He returned to Santa Claus and married Louisa SCHRIEFER on 29 Sept. 1863. WYTTENBACH and Louisa had one son, Edward, who was born ca 1864. Louisa died on 19 Aug. 1866. She is buried with Frederick in the Santa Claus German Methodist or Campground Cemetery and is listed in the Spencer County Cemetery -66- THE PIONEER, VOL. XVIII, No. 3 �TlB Bellm'BI FAMILTcontinued Records, Vol. ill as Mary Louise SCHRIEFER, wife of Frederick, 44 years, 6 months and 1 day old. It was over a year later, on 10 October 1867, that Andrew WETZEL was named legal guardian of the children (Henry, Lizzie, Susana and William SCHRIBER) and property (worth one thousand dollars) of Frederick SCHRIBER (note spelling). The guardian's bond and oath was made out to Andrew WETZEL and Henry SHEIRBAUM and signed by both. I can find no evidence that any of the children lived in the household of either of these guardians. Only Elizabeth is enumerated in the 1870 census in the home of Christian WYTTENBACH and his third wife Mary. On Nov. 17, 1873, Henry SCHRIEFER (Frederick and Louisa's oldest son) and his wife Natalie, Elizabeth (Lizzie) and Susan SCHRIEFER sold about 40 acres of Land for $410 to Henry SCHRIEBAUM. On that same day Susan SCHRIEFER sold 22 acres to Henry SCHRIEFER, the son of Gerhard Heinrich, for $180. On October 28, 1874, Andrew WETZEL, guardian of the children, reported to the . Spencer County Circuit Court on his guardianship and asked to be relieved of the guardianship of Henry, who was by then 24 years old and married; Elizabeth who was about 21 and Susie, who was about 19. He stated that the real estate had been divided among them and that his ward William owned about one acre that made it necessary for him to continue his guardianship to look after the land and the taxes. At this time William would be almost 17 years old. When AI and I were in Spencer County, Indiana last October, we were able, with the help of the County Clerk to locate Frederick's land. It is now adjacent or part of a golf course in Santa Claus. We also visited the Santa Claus German Methodist Cemetery. The church is still active, however the building is a newer one. We were determined to find Frederick and Louisa's graves. However, using the information we had, we discovered that now the gravestones are down, but we were able to step off fairly closely where the sites were. They are buried under a big tree. Most likely the roots of the tree pushed the gravestones out of the ground. Christian WYTTENBAUCH and his third wife, Mary, are also buried there. They have quite a large and noticeable marker. There are more markers for SCHRIEFERS SCHIERBAUMS and WETZELS than I could count. Funny after doing all the searching on this family it was kind of "old home week" in the Santa Claus German Methodist Cemetery. ------- THE PIONEER, VOL. XVIII, No. 3 -67- -- - �TlB BellmVBI FAMILT continuod Frederick and Louisa's oldest child, Henry, married Natalie SURMAN on 9 June 1873. Natalie was born 26 Oct. 1851 in Texas. Her parents, Chades and Doris SURMAN were born in Germany, but they came to Santa Claus, Indiana about 1865. Essentially Henry and Natalie were neighbors. They had five children, John William, Elmer, Elfreda, Wayne and Susan. Both Henry and Natalie lived and died in Spencer County in the Township of Grass. Henry died on July 6, 1912. Henry's death record states that his father was Fred S. and that his mother was Elizabeth TEGNOR. On that record, Henry's last name is spelled with an "F". Natalie died August 21, 1926. They are both buried in the German Evangelical Cemetery, which is near Chrisney, Indiana. Also buried there are Elfreda, who died as a child, and Elmer, who died at the age of33. The cemetery is now gone, or covered with vegetation. It was impossible to find. John William and his wife are buried in a small cemetery in Christney (sic) Indiana. There is not much known about Elizabeth SCHRIEFER. The 1870 census enumerates Elizabeth as 18 years old and living with Christian WYTTENBACK family. She appears again in the sale of her land in 1873. That is the last record of "Aunt Lizzie." Susannah SCHRIEFER went to KansaslMissouri perhaps with our grandfather William, about 1880. She married a Charlie Johnson and they had no children. However, Aunt Susie played a big role in the lives of William's children (especially the younger children) in that she came to North Dakota after Nannie died and helped to take care of the family. She and Charlie were living in Belton, Missouri when William moved there in 1917 and while I do not have a record of her death, I know that she died in Belton after 1930. AlDIBW PIDBBBTBL AID MATILDA I. MATlBT Nancy K PROEBSTEL married our grandfather, William. Nancy's father, Andrew, was born in Germany on 26 Dec. 1822. He married Matilda Jane MATNEY on 8 Oct. 1850 in Westport, Jackson County, Missouri. They are enumerated (as PROPSTALL) on a ' Federal Census for Clay County, Missouri, 1850 and dated Nov. 1850. Living in the household was Andrew's mother, Katherine, age 68, born in Germany. This same census record enumerates a brother, John, age 24, and two brothers who appear to be twins, age 20 (one is Frederick, the other name is unreadable). Then living as neighbors are Jacob PROPSTALL, age 35, his wife and five children' , Valentine . PROPSTALL, his wife and five children and Vendall PROPSTALL, age 28 and his wife. It is interesting that Valentine PROEBSTEL married Malinda MATNEY, daughter of William Matney (Charles MATNEY's uncle) in Westport, Jackson County, Missouri, August 5, 1842. --- ------- -- ----------------- -68- THE PIONEER, VOL.

Louisa, Charles and Margaret were born in Missouri and undoubtedly in Clay County. Nancy and Emma were born in Kansas. The family is enumerated in the Kansas 1870 Federal Census as living in Wyandotte County, Shawnee Twp. It is interesting that Andrew PROEBSTEL bought land in what was then Kansas Territory, on February 27, 1860 from George BIGKNIFE, who was a Shawnee Indian. These lands were given to George BIGKNIFE by the U. S. Government and he sold them while Kansas was still a territory and the land under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Later, in 1861 Andrew bought the land from George Q.A. and Susan MATNEY. George was the brother ofMatilda._ Andrew PROEBSTEL died 30 March 1895. Matilda MATNEY PROEBSTEL died 1 December 1915 in Argentine, Kansas. She was buried on 2 December in the Maple Hill Cemetery in Argentine. Louisa married Ed POINTER She was living with her parents with her two children, Charles and Edward in 1880 and 1885. In the 1885 census Louisa is listed as divorced. Charles PROEBSTEL married Mary (last name unknown). They had two daughters, Edna and Anna. William and Nannie named their youngest daughters for Charles' daughters. Margaret PROEBSTEL married Byron CLARK. They eventually moved to Los Angeles. Emma PROEBSTEL married IW. PARKER They had four children, Emmett, Velma, Diana and Robert. Emma took care of her mother, Matilda, after Andrew died. Emma's husband Joe died sometime after 1900 and before 1910. I do not know when Emma died. 1011 WILLIAM SCllmPl1 AID IAiCY E.

William told his children that he grew up in Christney and that he went to live with an uncle when WYTTENBACH treated him badly.

Such an event took place on the day above named in the creek half a mile down the stream, where seven were baptized in four feet of water and six inches of clear mud as a basis for the minister and candidate to stand upon. The candidates belong to Elder Hulburt's number of converts from Kanwaka schoolhouse. A long train of country people started from the school room in the morning near noon and took up their line of march southward to the muddy waters of the Wakarusa, where it was published that the ordinance of baptism would be administered. A keen northwest wind was blowing a perfect gale with the thermometer at zero. Shawls and overcoats were in use by male and female and buttoned and wrapped close around to keep the chilling cold away. When the Kanwaka train arrived at the still waters there was an equal number on the bank to welcome them to the place.
