"Mr. Brown: I am highly pleased with THE KANSAS FARMER. regarding it as an excellent medium through which the farmers. stock raisers
and fruit growers of the st.ate can exchange opinions. and give for
their mutual benefit their individual experience and varied successes
in agricultural pursuits.
Having had an experience of over eight years in Douglas County. I
think I have learned to my satisfaction that fruit cannot be successfully raised on wet land or on a clay sub-soil withou~ underdraining
of subsoiling.
I have found also. that the rapid growth of summer.
the early frost of autumn. the warm days with sudden changes to
severe cold in winter. render it useless to attempt to cultivate the
tender varieties of apples and other fruits.
We must propagate the
hardy varieties only.
Wheat. oats. barley. hemp. cotton. tobacco. sorghum and potatoes
may be successfully raised in Kansas. but our strong hold is in grass
and corn. if we can secure by pasturing the grass that grows so luxur
antly on our prairies. and convert our bottom land into corn fi.slds
and meadows. we can then raise sufficient corn to fatten our hogs.
and stall-feed our cattle.
But in order to do this. we must have
good fences. whether we fence stock in or out. and the sooner we quit
dreaming about Shanghai fences or none at all. the better.
The
subject of fencing is of the highest importance to the farmers of
Kansas.
A stone fence is better and cheaper in the long run than any
other that can be made. but it requires green backs and muscular
power. which we cannot all command.
In making a wooden fence. good
·ten-foot rails are cheaper at sixty dollars. than common fencing
timber at thirty dollars per thousand. I see some otherwise sensible
men in making board fence. using black walnut for fence posts. which
out of ground last well. but will not last for posts. Others have a
superstitious notion of putting the top end in the ground.
I would
say put the largest and soundest end down without regard to which end
grew uppermost.
Next to a stone fence. is hedge made of Osage Orange. which has
proven to be hardy and of vigorous growth. and which can be made
without expending much money or hard labor. time and care being only
required.
[ have already said too much or treated on too many subjects. r
wou I d like. however •. to say a word to co[·.responden ts.
[f you ~H' ita
for the ~'armer and I hope yOU wi L1. let us know \~ho you il.re and where
you live.
It is a satisfaction when we hear from you. to know
whether you live in Maine. Florida or Kansas. and whether your experience is applicable to our climate or not.
Very respectfully.

Bioomin~ton.

WEAVER, an early town and community located one mile east
and a mile north of Eudora, Kansas, in the fartherest north-east
corner of Eudora Township is bounded on the west and north by
the Kansas River and on the east by Johnson County.
This is
fertile Kaw Valley bottom land which was orginally owned by the
Shawnee Indians.
The 1854 treaty of Congress gave to each eligible Indian man 200 acres of land and another 200 acres to his
wife and each child.
The area at that time was covered with
timber, but by 1865 most of the land had been sold to white men.
Some of the owners were: SAUER, LYKINS, SCHNEITTER, HEROLD and
BOSCHE.
The. land was cleared and laid out in farms.
The community was named for the WEAVER family.
Henry WEAVER came in
1865 from Columbiana County Ohio and purchased over 1000 acres
from the above named investors.
John WEAVER, youngest son of Henry, owned a general store,
was named Postmaster and was also appointed as Station Agent for
the Santa Fe Railroad (which runs through WEAVER).

DROWNING ACCIDENT

death of Aurelia HERHANN, age 16 or 17 in a cistern at Hr. Robert
HORROW's.

���DATA OF FRIENDS (QUAKERS) MONTHLY MEETINGS
AT LAWRENCE, KANSAS

1869-1935
Data was extracted from Micro-film copies of
Monthly Meeting Minutes kept in the Archives of
Mid-America Yearly Meeting, reposing in the Friends
University Library~ Wichita, Kansas.
The film, in some cases, was not as clear as
desirable, the penmanship displayed differences in
skill and design and the reading not always above
question.
The spelling of names was not consistant but
from this point in time it is hazardous to guess
which is preferred so the original was copies as
faithfully as possible.
When the word "birth, born, died, death" is
the first word in the data column the date in the
date column is the birth or death date.
Otherwise
the date signifies the date of the entry in the
'minute book.
There were discrepancies as to date (generally
one month) as the Men's meeting and the Women's
meeting did not always deal with a given item at
the same time.
The extracting was limited to microfilmed data
so more work will need to be done in the futur~.
The minutes contain a wealth of information
and inspiration that is only hinted at in these abstracts.

Compiled by Wayne &amp; Mary Catherine (MILLS) LEWIS of
Gove, Oklahoma

SOME FARM HISTORY
From LAWRENCE JOURNAL WORLD, 8 Dec 1939.
"The George and Hannah NOE farm of 80 acres waas purchased by a
land grant signed by President Pierce in June 1854. George NOE
was a civil war veteran • . The place now (1939) is occupied by
. David Noe a grandson of George NOE. A.G. NOE was the only child
of George and Hannah NOE who owns the place adjoining his father's
farm .... George and Hannah NOE. came to Kansas from Peoria, Ill."
"The 160 acres homesteaded by HOWARDS in 1860 was purchased by
L.D. HOWARD in 1870 (and) at his death was divided between his
sons, Charles, Fred and Chester."

Editor, THE PIONEER

Lawrence, Kansas 66044
Dear Editor:
This letter will serve as a clarification and elaboration on
a small bit of material that appeared in THE PIONEER, Volume
XIV, Issue #4 Summer 1986.
On Page 162 there appear marriage records from Douglas County.
Toward the bottom of the page there is an entry that reads
SALAVUIEL(?), John, of this· city and Jemima Correll of Wakarusa
Tmmship. . . . . . . .
On Page 163 there is the Bride I s Index, where
this couple is shown as CORNELL, Jemima and SALVCIEL, John.
These surnames should be SALATHIEL and COREL.
Jemimah Corel Salathiel
Corel La Hay Dobbins.

~.,as

the niece of my great-grandma, Nancy

As to John Salathiel,
Brown, edited by F.

Brown,
Villard
Bro~vn ' s

In the History of Hontgomery County, Kansas, which \-las published
in 1903, there is an biography on Thomas Salathiel, son of this
John Salathiel. In part it reads,
His father, John Salathiel, of Independence, pioneered
to the Territory of Kansas, in 1854, having brought
his mother out to the new town of Lawr'ence, in that
year of the separation of Kansas and Nebraska, and
the formation of the latter into a territory, with
its present boundaries.
Mr.· Salathiel, Sr. was a
resident of Lawrence till his mother's death, directly
after which he settled on a 'farm, some ten miles from
the town, where he was living during the Quantrell
Raid.
He
joined
Plumb's
company
for
the
"hoped- they-wouldn ' t- find- 'em" pursui t of the guerri lla
band, and this and the volunteer service he rendered,
when Price threatened Kansas, was all the military
service he rendered during the Civil war.

John Salathiel was born April 30, 1836 in Lawrence
county, Ohio, on the townsi te of Ironton
. He was
one of the early merchant's in La\'lrence, but in 1860,
became a farmer in Douglas county, and purchased' a
cla~m,
on Sycamore creek,
two miles north of the
historic, but eccentric, tmm of Radical.
He remained
a farmer unti I 1880, when he came to Independence and
engaged in the grocery business with which he has since
been connected.
He married, in Lawrence, Kansas, in
1858, Jemimah Corel, a daughter of Henry Corel, who
settled just east of Lawrence, in an early day; a part
of the old farm being now the city's beautiful cemetery.
Mr. Corel was a settler from West Virginia but both
he and his wife died early, thus orphaning a family
of eight young children~" ,
Hy information on Jemimah Corel primarily comes from the census
records and my reconstruction of the Corel family.
She was the
oldest daughter of Henry and' Nancy Matney (Matiney) Corel.
A
typescript family history belonging to Joe Cullen of RockliQ,
California, says that Henry and Nancy Corel and their oldest child,
William, died in an 1855 measles epidemic that hit Lawrence in
1855, and these three were buried on Mt. Oread.
It is of interest
to note that Jemimah Corel Salathiel is also listed in the appendix
of Joanna Stratton's Pioneer Women, Voices from the Kansas Frontier,
although nothing directly attributed to her is quoted in that
book.
I am hopeful that these corrections get entered in your
quarterly. Please feel free to use or edit what you wish.
Cordially,

,

From:

Western Home Journal, 6 June 1872, p. 3.

"While the family of S.N. Walker, of Baldwin City, were attending Older's circus, on the afternoon of the 28th ult., their house
was entered through a back window, which had been left fastened down
and about $20. in greenbacks taken from a bureau drawer. There were
other valuables in the drawer which were not taken. Suspicion fastens
on two men lately released from jail in this city, who had been seen
lurking in the vicinity."
Note:
A burglary of the George Banks residence in Lawrence on the
same date was reported in the same newspaper .

"I's" and "J's"
Did you ever consider that a name or surname beginning with
an "I" or "J" may b e recorded under either letter ' in old records?
These letters were one and the same until well into the 1800's &amp;
were used as either a vowel or sonsonant, according to Ruth Wilder
Sherman, editor of The American Genealogist. The German handwriting
of today uses the same character for either in capital letters,
though the lower case letters are different. (from Gen. Guild of
LaSalle Co. H~st. Soc.~ Newslett~r, 1984, via DuPage Co. (IL) Gen.

MARION TOWNSHIP
The following material on Lapeer School, Rock Creek School and
Bethul M. E. Sunday School was submitted by Letha (TRANSMEIER)
McCRARY. The originals belonged to her mother, Mabel (LAWSON)
Transmeier, and are now in the possession of Letha McCRAR1.
Mabil LAWSON changed schools during the 1910 school year so her
name appears on Rock Creek and Lapeer Schools "Souvenir" records
for that year.
Other members of Letha's family that attended Lapeer School were:
Ernest TRANSMEYER, her father, IVan TRANSMEYER, her uncle, Martha
TRANSMEYER, her aunt, and Esther OEHRLE, a cousin.
The teacher, Carrie VINCENT, boarded at Katherine and Lewis (Lou)
LAWSONT s home (Mable LAWSON's parents) during the school year.
(This was told to Letha by her mother, Mabil, who is still living
and will be 85 years old come 29 may 1988.)
The Rock Creek School is now being used as a house and the Lapeer
School is still standing but being used as a barn. The Bethul
M. E. Church was located south of Globe one (l) mile and is no
longer there.

�ELLA (REBER) GERSTENBERGER Memories
(As related for Eudora Heritage Book 1975)
My Grandfather, Joshua REBER and Grandmother, Esther
(Hollenbeck) REBER, were born in Hamburg, Pennsylvania.
They had eight sons and three daughters. They came to
Kansas in 1878 with two sons, Oscar and my father, Daniel,
,and one daughter, Alice (Mrs. Andrew KOHLER).
Grandfather was a Civil War Veteran and I have some of the
medals and brass buttons he wore on his uniforms.
I am
still using his walking cane.
Grandfather REBER built the front part of the house I now
live in; my father added to the house in later years.
(This was midway between 9th and 10th Street on Church
Street, west side of street). He had a blacksmith shop
where my garden is located. Occasionally we still find
square nails and bits of harness, etc., when the garden is
plowed.
He later moved his shop to 10th and Church Street,
where Mrs. Bill KELLY now lives. Grandfather sold the
blacksmith shop to Ed MISTELE.
The white lilac bush,
flowering almond and the Juneberry bush in my yard were
planted by my Grandmother REBER.
During part of my early life when I was in school, I stayed
with her and helped her cook for boarders.
She never
cooked on Sunday; always fixed the Sunday meals on
Saturday and kept them warm in her oven.
She would sit by
the front window in her rocking chair on Sundays and read
her Bible.
My father was first attracted to my mother at the wedding
of Minnie STROBEL, my mother's sister, and Peter NElS.
Daddy saw mother standing with the wedding party and
remarked that Louisa STROBEL was going to be his girl. My
older sister, Emma, was born in a hand-hewn log cabin.
Dad
later bought twelve acres, one fourth mile out of town
(east) on the Cemetery Road, where Archie and Frances
GOODGER now live.
(Archie razed the old house and built a
new one). Dad cut down walnut trees, built a home where I
was born. It had one large room downstairs and two rooms
upstairs.
In alter years he added to the north side of the
house.
The first well drilled,was on the west side of the
house, three hundred and twenty feet deep, which turned out
to be salt water.
Daddy built a smokehouse and did custom smoking. Fred
ARKLE, John MIENEKE and John EVERLEY helped Dad butcher
hogs in the lower yard.
The hogs would hand in the big
walnut tree overnight. The next day we cut up the meat and
rendered lard in a big kettle outdoors. That night we
stuffed sausage in cleaned hog intestines.
I would sit on

�one end of the board that held the sausage machine and run
the press.
Our fruits and vegetables were dried on the porch roofs,
processed in the oven to kill germs and placed in gallon
jars. Green beans, cucumbers, etc. were salted down for
future use (oh, you salty stuffll).
Apple butter was made
in a big iron kettle over a yard fire; gallons and gallons
were made.
Poor Mom would sell some and always her baking
powder can over the cellar door got the tenth money for
her church.
Butter was churned in a wooden tub.
It was
sold for twenty cents a pound and delivered to customers.
Lots of ducks, geese, and chicken feathers went for the
"rich" guy's pillows. Our pillows had straw.
Flour sacks
were used for pillow slips and also underwear. Our
home-knit black stockings were itchy.
My mother was custodian at the church (Salem Evangelical)
for $15.00 per year, and my sister and I would take care of
the lamps. We used a little hand pump to pump air in the
gas lamps. We had a Church orchestra, the REBER-GOOD
Orchestra.
I played guitar, later played the old pump
organ in church and still later the piano. Ndw at age
eighty-seven I am still playing piano in church.
Sometime around 1900 there was news of an oil boom in
Oklahoma. A number of venturesome men from Eudora left to
stake out land for homesteading. My Dad covered a lumber
wagon with canvas, put straw in the bottom of the wagon,
fastened two long boxes by the end gate to feed the horse.
He tied a sack of corn under the wagon to feed the horses
along the way in case they could not find corn along the
way.
They packed blankets, food, coffee pot and tin cups
and cooked their meals along the way.
I recall that
Charles GABRIEL, Ed DIEDRICH and Gus FIEHLER went with Dad.
Dad found nothing satisfactory to homestead.
After graduating from Eudora High School, I worked in the
dry goods department of the PILLA Store for $3.00 per week
for five years, ignoring my desire to attend Emporia
College to become a teacher. While working there I recall
the Kaw Valley Bank was robbed; the robber was captured and
injured and brought back to the City Hall Jail.
(This jail
was in the basement of the old City Hall and located at 7th
and Main Street). After working hours, some of us from the
store viewed the young man through a window; he was a
handsome young man a I felt sorry for him and offered a
prayer.
Motor cars came into existence during my lifetime. We used
to run two blocks south to see the "Devil Wagons" go by at
ten miles per hours. We could hear them coming down the
road from one mile east, at Uncle Fritz's house. What an
agel
Every occupant was wrapped up so they ~ould not get

too much fresh air.
I have seen church programs change. Prayer meetings used to
be crowded and God was present, now people are afraid of
"prayer night".
It is called mid-week service, if there is
one. God is the same, but people are not.
I married Charles GERSTENBERGER, one of my high school
classmates, and we lived in Kansas City for about six
years, then moved to Prairie Center to manage the general
store there for about a year for Fred LOTZ, then back to
Eudora, (where we both were born).
I have lived in my
present home since 1919. We rented the present home from
my father, and later purchased it from him.
.
My Dad worked for many years for Delbert ADAMS at the
Eudora Mills, and was very fond of Mr. ADAMS. When our
oldest boy was born my Dad asked me what we named the boy,
I told him, "Orville Charles." He said, "I can't remember
a name like that, why don't you name him Delbert Charles
after Delbert ADAMS?" So he was named after Delbert ADAMS
and his father.

Note:
Charles GERSTENBERGER was employed by the Charles
PILLA Store until 1929 when it was sold and then he and his
wife opened the GERSTENBERGER Grocery in 1930 in Eudora,
starting at the old ROBINSON. Building, 731 Main Street. A
few years later they bought the BARTUSCH Building, 723 Main
Street, where the EISELE Tin Shop had been. They closed
their grocery in 1950. Both buildings have been razed.
Their children were: Delbert C., Lauretta and Arvon Gale
GERSTENBERGER.
They were musically talented.

LAWRENCE EVENING NEWS
DECEMBER 9, 1883
CENTRAL TELEPHONE COMPANY
Great Improvement and Increase in the Telephone Business of
Lawrence - Complete Directory or Exchange List
Yesterday afternoon we called at the headquarters of the
United Telephone Company, and were met with a friendly
greeting by Charles W. DAVIS, Manager, who proceeded in his
pleasant way to show us over the rooms and explain to us the
mysteries connected with the business. The office is on the
east side of Massachusetts Street, between Winthrop and
Henry, over Geo. A. HUNT's dry goods house, in the rear part
of the building. The operators' room is furnished in a real
comfortable and cozy manner, having more the appearance of an
elegant parlor than an office, - nicely carpeted, and walls
decorated with choice pictures.
Several choice plants are
scattered here and there and even a canary songster, to
warble his merry notes.
In the midst of all these pleasant
surroundings, gracefully sat Miss Lizzie KNIGHT, one of the
day operators, who is kept quite busy calling for connections
and sending messages over the wires, which she does with all
the ease and dignity of a little queen. Her voice is low,
pleasant and distinct, just suitable for a successful
operator, and the company is to be congratulated upon having
so competent an assistant. The other day operator, J.W.
OHRUM, seems to be a very pleasant young man, and well
qualified to fill the position in a satisfactory manner.
He
knows how to manipulate the board to perfection. H.E. WEBB,
the night operator, we found to be an agreeable and pleasant
young man, and although we did not hear him send any message
or manipulate the board, we know, by the way in which he
explained to us the manner in ~hich the connections are made
and sound transmitted across the wires, that he is master of
the situation and thoroughly competent for any emergency
.which might arise in connection with his part of the work.
The night operator's room is another cozy place, well
furnished with all necessary conveniences. Here an alarm
bell is attached at the head of the bed just over the ears of
the slumbering operators, which never fails to accomplish its
pur~ose.
From this apartment we enter the store room, where
instruments and all of the paraphernalia connected with the
business are kept.
It is indeed quite interesting and
instructive to look and study the mysterious mechanism of all
connected with the establishment; but space and time forbids
our entering into further details in regard to the office;
and we will follow the network of wire to the alley, back of
the building, where the main line runs north and south
through the city, with wires branching in all directions.
At present there are fifteen to twenty experienced telephone

men at work in the city rebuilding. The main trunk lines are
all being transfe·rred from the old poles to new 45 and 50
feet cedar ones at an expense of $3,000. And so it will be
with all lines throughout the city. The old ones will be
taken down, and new and more substantial ones constructed.
Work will not cease until everything is in first class order.
It has been through the untiring energies of the manager, Mr.
Chas. M. DAVIS that to-day Lawrence has its excellent
telephone system. When he assumed the duties of this
exchange in September last, the central office waS in a most
dilapidated condition and complaints were universal.
Following his arrival came the thorough overhauling of the
exchange. The old switch boards were fired and new western
electrics put in their stead. Next, over fifty old style
instruments were disposed of and in their places were put the
new "Gilliland," and to-day the reconstruction is under full
headway, which, when completed, will compare favorably with
any in the State. when Mr. DAVIS took charge of the
telephone interests of this city, sixty-four telephones were
in use, and those mostly in bad shape and out of repairs.
To-day there are seventy-six in use and fifteen additional'
ones contracted for.
The territorial net-work of wires extending to outside points
is certainly worthy of notice. Among the most important are
Kansas City, Topeka, Leavenworth, Atchison and st. Joseph, as
well as many smaller cities.
The central office is open day and night, Sunday included,
where the able manager or his kind and agreeable assistants
are always ready to wait on their subscribers or the public
in general.
For carrying on a five minutes' conversation with parties in
Topeka, Kansas City, Leavenworth, Atchison, St. Joseph,
Easton, wyandotte and Independence, Missouri, the reasonable
fee of 25 cents will be charged.

Twin Mound Items
,

Over a year ago the old windmill, a well known landmark was burned,
and the walls of the structure being excellently well-built are still
standing and nearly entire. There is considerable talk of putting up a .
new roof and flooring the building and using it for a public hall, someth1ng
greatly needed here. The fact is becoming apparent to many of our best
citizens that the school house, large as it is, is much too small for the
use of the school, arranged as it now is in the matter of seating. The
change necessary to be made will unfit it for any but school purposes s~
some of her place for public meetings, balls, shows, etc. must be prov1ded
and it is thought that the old mill building can be made available. We
hope so.
The Twin Mound Library Association have filed their charter with the
Secretary of State, and the Dramatic Club is about to do the same. These
two societies are institutions of which any place might be proud.

Kansas State Historical Society
WAKARUSA WAR PAPERS.
Brief History From Wilder's Annals
November 2l.--Charles W. DOW killed, by Franklin N.
COLEMAN, pro-slavery, near Hickory Poiht, Douglas county.
The free-state men held a meeting on the 22d, at the scene of
the murder. That night Sheriff JONES arrested Jacob BRANSON,
with whom DOW had lived, for taking part in the free-state
meeting. JONES, with his prisoner and a posse of 14 men, proceeded toward Lecompton, via Blanton. Near J. B. ABBOTT'S
house, at Blanton, JONES'S party was confronted by 15 freestate men, among them Samuel N. WOOD, J. B. ABBOTT, and Samuel
F. TAPPAN. They requested BRANSON to leave the shertff's
party; he did so. JONES sent to Shawnee Mission for aid. A
meeting was held in Lawrence, and was addressed by BRANSON.
A mob from Missouri was feared, and the citizens were placed
under arm. On the 2d of December, free-state companies from
Bloomington, Wakarusa and Palmyra had arrived in Lawrence.
JONES, with a bodyguard, rode through Lawrence. General
RICHARDSON and staff dined with J. H. LANE. A company of 100
armed free-state men arrived from Topeka at 9 in the evening.
On Monday, the 3d, a proclamation was received from Governor
SHANNON calling upon all good citizens to aid the sheriff in
the recapture of BRANSON. It was dated November 29. A public
meeting, through Chas. ROBINSON, chairman, reported that there
was no association of lawless men in Lawrence. The roar of
the cannon at Franklin, where the invaders are massed, is
occasionally heard in the free-state town. On Tuesday, the
4th, it is reported that Judge CATO's court had found bills
of indictment against the leading free-state men. Loaded wagons destined for Lawrence are stopped and robbed of provisions
and ammunition. Messengers are sent to Governor SHANNON, asking him to remove the mob which is menacing Lawrence. Dr. C.
ROBINSON is elected commander-in-chief, and the citizen soldiery
is fully organized. (James H. LANE, brigadier-general.) On
Friday, the 7th, news is received of the murder of Thomas W.
BARBER, the previous afternoon, while returning to his home
near Bloomington, from Lawrence. He was accompanied by his
brother, Robert BARBER, and his brother-in-law, Thos. PIERSON.
Four miles southwest of Lawrence they met 12 horsemen, who
were going to Franklin. The free-state men, refusing to surrender, were fired upon. One ball passed through the body of
Thomas W. BARBER; he rode a short distance, fell, and expired.
His body was brought to Lawrence, which he had so lately been
engaged in defending. Governor SHANNON arrives, and consults
with ROBINSON and LANE. SHANNON, at night, goes to Franklin.
John BROWN and four sons, all armed, are in Lawrence. On Saturday, the 8th, Governor SHANNON again appears, with Colonel
Boone, of Westport, Mo., and one or two others. News is received that S. C. POMEROY, who had left Lawrence to go to the
eastern states, is a prisoner at Franklin. The body of BARBER

�17

Wakarusa War Papers continued
is temporarily buried. ROBINSON and LANE go back to the proslavery camp with SHANNON. Sunday morning, December 9, was
extremely cold. Negotiations with Governor SHANNON were finally completed, and were made known by LANE and ROBINSON. A
supper for Governor SHANNON was arranged for Monday night; he
was not present. It was a joyful occasion for the citizens.
On Tuesday, the 11th, the volunteer companies from other towns
took their departure. Of Governor SHANNON, the "Herald of
Freedom" says: "He came, learned the facts, and like an honorable man, has done what he could to retrace his steps."

WOODSON TO EASTON.
November --, 1855.
Gen. Lucien J. EASTON, Leavenworth, K. T .. --Dear General:
The governor having called out the militia, this is to
inform you to order out your division and to proceed forthwith to Lecompton. The governor not having the power, you
can calIon the Platte county rifle company, as our neighbors
are always ready to help us. Do not implicate the governor,
whatever you do.
DANIEL WOODSON.
(H. of F., December 1, 1855.)

SHANNON TO PIERCE.
(By telegraph.)
. Westport, Mo., December 1, 1855.
I desire authority to calIon the United States forces
at Leavenworth to preserve the peace of this territory; to
protect the sheriff of Douglas county, and enable him to execute the legal process in his hands. If the laws are not
executed, civil war is inevitable. An armed force of one
thousand men, with all the implements of war, it is said, are
at Lawrence. They have rescued a prisoner from the sheriff;
burnt houses, and threatened the lives of citizens. Immediate
assistance is desired. This is the only means to save bloodshed. Particulars by mail.

INFORMATION AGAINST BRANSON.
United States of America, Territory of Kansas,

SSe

Be it remembered, that on this 6th day of December, in
the year A.D. 1855, personally appeared before me, J. M.
BURRELL, one of the associate justices of the supreme court
of the said territory of Kansas, Harrison BUCKLEY, of lawful
age, who being by me duly sworn, saith that he is a citizen
of the county of Douglas, and has resided therein since the
30th day of March last, and has resided during all that time
at Hickory Grove; that he was informed on good authority, and
which he believed to be true, that Jacob BRANSON had threatened
his life, both before and after the difficulty between COLEMAN
and DOW, which led to the death of the latter. I understood
that BRANSON swore that deponent should not breathe the pure
air three minutes after I returned, this deponent at this time
having gone down to Westport, in Missouri: that it was these
threats, made in various shapes, that made this deponent really
fear his life, and which induced him to make affidavit against
the said BRANSON, and procure a peace warrant to issue, and be
placed in the hands of the sheriff of Douglas county; that this
deponent was with the said sheriff (S.J. JONES) at the time the
said BRANSON was- arrest'ed, which took place about 2 or 3
o'clock in the morning; that BRANSON was in bed when he was.
arrested by said sheriff; that no pistol or other weapon was
presented at the said BRANSON by anyone; that after the arrest,
and after the company with the sheriff had proceeded about five
miles in the direction of Lecompton, the county seat of Douglas
county, the said sheriff and his posse were set upon by about
between 30 and 40 men, who came out from behind a house,. all
armed with Sharp's rifles, and presented their guns cocked,
and called out who they were; and said BRANSON replied that
they had got him a prisoner; and these armed men called on him
to come away. BRANSON then went over to their side, and Sheriff
JONES said they were doing something they would regret her after
in resisting the laws; that he was sheriff of Douglas county,
and, as such, had arrested BRANSON. These armed men replied
that they had no laws, no sheriff, and no governor, and that
they knew no laws but their guns. The sheriff being overpowered,

�19

Wakarusa War Papers continued
said to hese men that if they took him by force of arms he had
no more to say, or something to that import, and then we rode
off. This deponent further states, that there has been three
houses burned in the Hickory Point settlement; one was this deponentLs house, another belonged to Josiah HARGIS, and the
third to said COLEMAN, All I had in the world was burned up,
leaving my wife and children without clothing. This deponent's
wife and four children fled to Missouri, where they still remain with their relative. The house of deponent was burned down,
as it is said, shortly before daylight in the morning. The
wives and children of both COLEMAN and HARGIS also fled to
Missouri, where they still remain. There were about 15 or 16
law-abiding families in the settlement called Hickory Grove
settlement about the time these difficulties sprung up; they
have all been forced by terror and threats of these armed men
to flee with their wives and children to the state of Missouri
for protection, and still remain there. These armed men have
repeatedly in my presence said they would resist the law by
force, and there was no law in this territory. These threats
have been repeatedly made by these men for the last three
months. And further this deponent saith not.
H. H. BUCKLEY.

INFORMATION AGAINST THE RESCUERS.
- United States of America, Territory of Kansas, ss.
Be it remembered, that on this 7th day of December, A. D.
1855, personally came before me, S. G. Cato, one of the associate justices of the supreme court of the territory of Kansas,
Josiah HARGIS, of lawful age, who being by me duly sworn, deposeth and saith, that on or about the 26th day of November,
1855, in Douglas county, Sheriff Jones called upon me, with
nine others, to act as a posse to arrest one Jacob BRANSON,
under a peace warrant issued by Hugh CAMERON, a justice of the
~eace~ that he proceeded with said sheriff to Hickory Point,
~n sa~d county, and there arrested said BRANSON, with whom they
proceeded in the direction of Lawrence. When near a house on
the Wakarusa an armed m6b of persons, amounting to between 30
an~ 40, rushed from behind said house, and by force did rescue
sa~d BRANSON out of the hands of said sheriff and posse
and
in defiance of said sheriff's command, take said BRANSON and'
refuse to deliver him to said sheriff. That the said sheriff
told the said ~ob that he held said BRANSON under' a peace warrant properly ~ssued by a legally authorized officer; and that

�20

Wakarusa War Papers continued
he was sheriff of said county of Douglas, and charged with
the execution of said writ. The leader of said mob replied
to said officer that they knew him as Mr. JONES, but not as
sheriff of Douglas county. He then told them that he would
callout the militia to enforce the law. Their reply was that
he could not get men to enforce said law. He told them then
that he would calIon the governor for assistance; to which
the said mob replied that they had no laws and no officers,
and to pitch in. Siid mob stood with their guns cocked and
presented at the time of said rescue.
This deponent further saith,one H. W. BUCKLEY, of said
county of Douglas, was with said sheriff at th~ time of said
rescue, as one of said sheriff's posse; that during the same
night on which said rescue was made said affiant saw a light
in the direction of said BUCKLEY'S house, and that he fully
believes said house was at that time burned. That he believes,
from circumstances within his knowledge, that said house, together with his own, was burned by persons concerned with said
mob; and that he has reasons to believe that some of said
houses were fired by said BRANSON aforesaid, assisted by a
German, commonly called Dutch Charley; and they were counseled
and advised thereto by one FARLEY. This affiant further says,
that at the time of the rescue of said prisoner he was at a h
house near Hickory Point, and that he there saw three women,
who told him that there had been an armed force that day who
notified them to leave, and all other pro-slavery families in
the neighborhood; and since said families have left said
neighborhood; and fled to th~ state of- Missouri. Said affiant
says that he believes there were at that time in said neighborhood about 15 pro-slavery families, nearly all of whom have
fled, as aforesaid, to the state of Missouri for protection.
Said armed force was represented to consist of from 100 to 150
armed men.

HERMAN DELOS WHITMAN

Herman Delos Whitman was
born
at
Hancock, Massachusetts, I'\ay 12, 1843, and
was educated at Williams
College, where he was a
classmate of the late Dean
James W. Green, of Kansas
State University. He came to
Kansas in the spring of 1866,
and settled in Lawrence. Soon
afterward he went into the
grocery business and continued
in that for many years, a part
of the time ·in the firm of
Whitman Brothers, and also
with the firm of Whitman ~
Ford, two firms that were well
known in Lawrence for many
years.
Then he purchased a
farm in Wakarusa township near
where Haskell Institute now
is, just outside the city of
Lawrence, where he lived for
fi fty years, and until his
death.
For nearly twenty
years
Mr.
Whitman
was
assistant postmaster in the
Lawrence post office, a place
he filled with honor to
himsel f and credit to the
service until advancing years
made it necessary for him to
retire.
Mr. Whitman was married
October 11, 1866 to Miss
Rosalthe Ford, and to the
union were born five children,
all of whom survive their
father. They are: Delos L.
Whitman,
of
Hancock,
Massachusetts;
Henry
F.

Whitman, of Kansas City, Mo.;
I'Irs. Eliza L. Gillham, of
Lawr encej
Mrs. Gr ac e L.
Marshall, of Long Beach,
California, and I'Irs. Rose E.
Snyder, of Lawrence.
The
faithful and suffering wife
died January 27, 1919.
For, sixteen years, I'Irs.
Whitman was an invalid, much
of the time a helpless one.
During all those years the
devoted husband took the
tenderest
care
of her,
ministered to her every want
when he was at home; and for
hundreds of weary nights lay
sleepless beside her, and
arose in the morning and went
to this work as if his rest
had been unbroken.
Such
devotion and service as this
man gave to his wife is seldom
seen on earth.
I have seen
him come from the sick room
where he had not closed his
eyes during the night, and go
to his desk with a s.ile and a
·cheery
word
for
his
associates, and no one to look
at him would have suspected
that sorrow wrung his heart
and weariness bore hi. down.
As the wife became weaker she
leaned more heavily upon him,
and became as a babe in his
care. But not for one day or
one night did he desert his
post or flinch from his duty.
And when she was gone, he
found himself a broken, spent,
man, unable to continue his

work, and for six years his
faithful
daughter
has
ministered to him even as he
took care of her mother.·
He was one of God's
greatest noblemen in the city
and community he had always
the respect and confidence of
all, and richly he. deserved it
for he
was scrupulously
honest, giving to every man
that which was his, and
putting forth every effort in
his power for the good of
those around him. And when he
departed, he went away bearing
with him the love of all who
knew him well, and the respect
of everyone in the city where
he had lived his long and
blameless Ii fe.
Note: According to Complete
Tombstone Census of Douglas
County Kansas, Vol. I, page
17, Herman Delos Whitman died
January 2, 1925. He is buried
in section 2 of Oak Hill
Cemetery, Lawrence, Kansas.

-----------------~--

Frol Tracy Lear nard Scrapbook, 10.1

Evangeline Eldridge ~athews, wi fe of Dr. L.M.
Mathews whose death occurred the early part of last
week, came to Lawrence with her father, the late
Col. S.W. Eldridge when she was but 3 years old.
That was in 1856, and the family that had come here
from Southampton, Mass., consisted of Col. and Mrs.
Eldridge and their four daughters, Mary, now Mrs.
Learnard; Josephine, Mrs. Ellis; Alit:e, Mrs. W. B.
Learnard; Eva, ~rs. Matthews.
Soon after their arrival Colonel Eldridge took
up the management of the Free State Hotel, where
the Eldridge house is now located, which was in
those early days the center of political as well as
social activity of the community and about which
many of the same activities of the territory and
the state were centered.
The childhood and girlhood of Mrs. Mathews were
spent here, and she was married to William Savage;
after they were married they lived in Kansas City,
Denver and Boulder, and when Mr. Savage died she
came back to her home town, something like thirty
years ago, when she entered upon a business life.
Mr. and Mrs. Savage were the parents of two
children, Burton E. Savage and Mary Savage, the
latter living to be only six years old. Burton
Savage lived to manhood, attained marked success in
his chosen work as superintendent of larger
printing establishments of the middle west. His
widow is a resident of Lawrence now, and her
daughter, Mrs. Flynn, with the latter's daughter,
are now living in Kansas City as is her son, WI.
Savage, who is in business there.
After she had established herself in business
here Mrs. Savage married Dr. Mathews, who survives,
and they lived in Hiawatha, Coffeyville and
Memphis, before returning to Lawrence to make their
hOle seven years ago.

Mrs. Mathews lived through the early days of
Lawrence with that" fortitude and courage that
characterized her sturdy New England ancestry, and
was a vital part of the hotel Ii fe that entertained
distinguished visitors, state legislatures, and
other gatherings of highest moment in those early
activities. Through her early life in Lawrence,
her later business life in the city, and her final
years of residence she had attracted a wide circle
of very dear friends. The ties were near and deep,
cemented by the vicissitudes through which all the
residents of the strenous early days in Lawrence
passed.
For three years, Mrs. Mathews had been a
member of the Christian Science church, and the
last services were conducted by that orgdnization,
but in her earlier life here she had been connected
with the Congregational church, where she taught in
the Sunday school, and"with the Baptist church to
which her early training had led her, and with the
Unitarian church, where the funeral services were
held.
During her last illness the intense suffering
was borne with a sweet, patient endurance, and with
a thoughtfulness of all those about her. She
enjoyed the companionship of those dear to her, and
to within the last two weeks kept in touch with her
household duties.. Her friends who visited her
during the last illness found her wonderfully
cheerful through all her suffering.
The gathering of old friends when burial rites
took place marked the sympathies with which she was
tied to the community, and beautiful flowers, of
organizations and individuals, attested the fond
love in which she was held by all.

Early Settlers of Grant Township
by Anna Morgan Ward
(Continued from THE PIONEER, Vol. X, No.1,

p.42)

"Our
farm south of the section line was joined on the west by
the Robinson farm.
The forty acres was joined on the west by the
Robinson Home place.
In the north west corner of the forty
acres,
is where oakridge school house was built in
1870.
Across the road and a little farther up the hill is the Robinson
home built
in the summer of 1864.
It was being built when we
moved
into our home.
The north and east side of our forty,
joined the Lucy Stone
section,
and was evidently a part of that section.
Lucy Stone
bought the land in the early 60's.
It was open prairie and was a
free grazing ground for many years.
It was finally bought by a
Mr. Tough, and his son took it over and it has been known fot the
past years as Tough's pasture.
Lucy Stone was one of the early
day Suffrage leaders.
She believed (that) a woman,
even tho'
married should use her own name.
She was married to a Mr.
Blackwell; but was always called Lucy Stone--never saw it written
Lucy Stone Blackwell.
There was an organization of women of the
same belief.
Th~ J.P.
Whitney farm joined our farm on the east.
Their home
was on a hill andd it was among many small trees especially on
the east were many trees.
This was where some of our family
stayed until our house was ready for us.
There was a log cabin
near their house,
and the colored help on the farm lived in this
log house.
I don't remember ever seeing another log cabin in
this community.
I don't know when the Whitneys settled there,
but it must have been in the early 60's .... The Whitneys were from
Massachusetts,
and that was my mother's native town,
and mother
knew of her relatives,
so that made mother and Mrs.
Whitney the
best of friends and neighbors.
They had a little boy about two
and a half or three years. old.
The little boy died about a year
after we were there.
He was laid away in the Old Cemetery west
of the University.
His was the first funeral I ever went to..

The Whitneys lived on their farm until the early (18)70's.
They were in town for a time but soon returned to the East.
The
Whitney farm as well as the Lucy Stone section was bordered on
the East by Leavenworth County.
This farm had changed hands many
times and for the past years has been owned by H.G. Van Neste.

LIZZIE (HASKELL) FRENCH
Elizabeth Parker HASKELL FRENCH was born
in Weathersfield, Vermont in 1837. She came to
Kansas with her family in.April '1857, and was
one of the first school teachers in Lawrence.
She married Charles D. FRENCH on February::Z5,
1865. Following is the notice of her death
and funeral.
The Daily Tribune, Mar,ch 29, 1877
Death and Funeral of a Good Pioneer Lady.
The whole connnunity have heard with feel~.
irigs' of sorrow: of the ,death' :of Mrs .~"Elizabeth
P. FRENCH, who expired on the evening of
March 27th, 1877, of cancer.
Mrs. FRENCH was the only daughter of Mr.
Franklin HASKELL, one of the pioneer settlers
of 1854, coming to .Lawrence,we believe, with
LIZZIE (HASKELL) FRENCH,
the "Second Party" of New England Innnigrants,
~- '---~
and the sister of John G. and Dudley C. HASKELL, the 'latter our present member
of Congress. Miss HASKELL, the subject of this sketch, remained behind the·
family in New England, and came to Kansas in March, 1857. She was born at
Weathersfield, Vermont, on the 23dof April, 1836, and was therefore almost
forty-on~~ears old.
The family were among the most respected and useful of the early pioneers.
The father was a devoted Free State man, a just and upright citizen, and a
true Christian, his influence and example doing much to mould the charact.er
of the infant settlement at Lawrence. The mother, whose death preceded
that of the daughter but a few months, was truly a pioneer mother to all who
needed the good offices of a charitable, intelligent Christian woman.
Miss HASKELL was married to Mr. Charles D. FRENCH, at Springfield,
Mass., on the 25th day of February, 1865, where 'the mother and daughter were
visiting relatives during,that year. After marriage, they removed to
Leavenworth, residing there two years, and then coming to a home on the
well known Haskell homestead, adjoining Lawrence.
This excellent lady united with the Congregational church in her New
England home when a young girl, and has lived the life of a true Christian
woman. 'For several years she belonged to the choir of the Plymouth Congregational Church, the first organized church in Lawrence. She was one
of the:'pioneer teachers in the free schools of Lawrence, taking charge of a
school, more as a matter of duty in the days :when good teachers were
wanted, than from pecuniary motives, and those who'received the rudiments
of an educat.ion in the old Unitarian church on' the hillside will long
,
remember the amiable, kind-hearted teacher, whose devotion to her duties
laid deep the foundation of usefulness and virtue. Perhaps at that period,
'there could have been no person selected 'for such duties who was her
superior in every respect, as added to her innate goodness of heart, she
'had all the elements of a studious character and a finished education, having
been well educated in the best institutions of learning in New England. In
all the positions of neighbor, daughter, sister and wife she fulfilled well

�her part, and goes to rest with the pure in heart who pave the promise of
the Everlasting Blessing, ,revered, respected, and beloved as only the good
daughter, sister, wife and friend can be.. Among those who knew her, the
tear will come unbidden at the news of the death of one whose life has
been so blameless and so useful.
The last sad rites were performed at the residence of her bereaved
husband this afternoon,' at which Rev. Mr. SPRING, her last pastor, an'd
Rev. Dr. CORDLEY, so long the pastor of her church, gave the last ministrations to the memory of a beloved sister. A large concourse of sympathising friends attended the funeral, the following pall-bearers officiating:
Messrs. L. BULLENE, H.W. BAKER, Albert ALLEN, G. GROVENOR, O.A. HANS COMB ,
and S.A. RIGGS. All that remains of the good woman were laid in a pleasant
lot, beside the venerated father, mother and brother, but a few steps from
the door of the pioneer cabin where she and they had so long been known
for their kind hospitality in the, "times that:tried men's souls," to sleep
the last sleep of the good and the just.
"There shall the yew her sable branches spread,
And mournful cypress rear her fringed head;
From thence shall thyme and myrtle send perfume,
And laurel evergreen o'ershade the tomb."
The deceased was a long sufferer to the insidious disease which resulted
in death, being cancer of the breast. Nearly two years ago, she underwent
a surgical operation, and for a time believed that the cure was permanent.
Mrs. FRENCH leaves behind her a husband universally respected, and
three little children-a daughter and two sons-one of them an infant, too
young to have any appreciation of the loss of a mother,'to them the whole
community give their sympathy for the irreparable loss.
At the Quincy High School Reunion, June 1, 1882, fellow teacher Mary
BOUGHTON BROOKS said of Lizzie HASKELL (Western Home Journal, June 8, 1882):
"In answering to the name just called, I only need say, what every one
who knew her could truthfully say, that she was kind and loving in disposition, an intelligent and conscientious teacher, a faithful and devoted wife
and mother. What higher praise can be said of any?"
'
"Coming to the Territory when there were comparatively few young
ladies, her influence was always extended for the good of those with whom
she associated."
"Her first year in Kansas was spent with her father and mother, on a
" farm adjoining town."
"My first meeting with Miss HASKELL, was at a church social given at
the residence of Miss HALL, and my impressions of her then were that she was
a lady of culture and refinement, which future acquaintance fully confirmed."
"As a teacher she was successful, and her refining influence has no
doubt helped to mould the lives of some that are here to-day."
The following was written about her in the Western Home Journal,
April 5, 1877.
"She was a woman of great energy of character and of unusual sweetness
of disposition. Her attachments were strong, her circle of friends a wide
one, and her name a synonym of benevolence and goodness wherever she was
known. During the last few years she has been a great sufferer from the
terrible malady that finally terminated her life, but throughout it all
she has borne up with the most wonderful fortitude, furnishing a daily
example to friends and neighbors of patience under suffering and of the
triumph of a great spirit over the sorrows and distresses of failing
phYSical life." '
,
"The death of such a woman is-a public loss. She will be missed from
her family, from the church, from society at large. But her memory shall
be blessed. Her example shall live long in the community, and when the
grass shall have become green over her grave her name shall still be
held in sweet and sacred remembrance by those who loved her."

Wakarusa
Miss Mira FITZ and her sister Emma, are still busy hauling lumber.
They have got through hauling brick and sand for their cistern, which a
great many people in this section of the country will find quite a
necessary article to have in these dry times. Miss Laura FITZ started
out to give music lessons, but had to return home on account sickness.
The old la-dy is in the best of health and is one of those wirey little
women that can go to see a sick neighbor at any and all times of day or
night; in fact, one that cannot be well spared in the community where
she lives. Mira takes up school at Stony Point school house· on Monday next.

ELLA LANE ADAMS
Ella LANE ADAMS was the eldest daughter of Sen. James H. and Mary E.
LANE. Following is her eulogy given by Mrs. Hannah FELT CLARKE at the
twenty-fifth reunion of the Quincy High School, June 1, 1882. It was published in the Western Home Journal, June 8, 1882 ~
:
More than twenty-two years ago I used to reach my school-room here on
some of those bleak mornings, when the wind pierced to the very marrow of
one's bones (as it often did in the winters of those pioneer days) to find
the house blue with smoke and the stove filled with green logs of ponderous
size and so watery that if Mr. DICK had been consulted as to the best mode
of getting a fire, I am positive he would have ordered, as a first necessity,
a thorough wringing out of the wood. But if"the chimney smoked, the north
breeze came in vigorously enough about the windows to render it unnecessary
to have other than such primitive modes of ventilation. On those days of
gloom I sometimes crossed the hall into Mr. ADAMS room here to see if it
was as dismal as 'in my own quarters, and to exchange those common place:
remarks about the weather, which I suppose have been made from the time
Adam so kindly furnished the apple he had not the courage to first taste;
and which will continue to be made until good conversationalists shall
exist more numerously than at present. It was at such times that I
observed a slight flaxen-haired girl of coquettish air, who flitted about
with easy grace among her school-mates, casting mischievous glances towards
'her teacher whose slightly frowning eyebrows did not deter her from her
ways of girlish frolicsomeness, and I thought it was not difficult than
to presume she might be "the favorite scholar."
Later in the summer of that year (1860) such predictions were verified;
for it was then that Ella LANE and Charles ADAMS were married, although Mrs.
ADAMS continued to remain at her home. When the war commenced, her husband-who later proved himself a brave and fearless officer, eager to fight as
well as to lead--Ieft her still at her father's house; and he was yet
absent when she buried her first lovely little girl of but seventeen
months; and again a few years later, she was bereft of still another of two
years. But slight as she was physically she bore her losses with great
fortitude (for she had been a loving mother) maintaining that same sprightly
and,:affectionate disposition which her early gi'rihood gave promise of. '
Married at the age of sixteen, she always seemed to enjoy life and made it
pleasant for those around her for the space of thirteen years afterward.
At the early age of twenty-nine her life here went out; but who can doubt,
but that in that world, of which we know so little and look forward to for
so much, she is waiting with the same old loving tenderness which characterized her life here, to welcome those dear friends she parted with, with such
heroic cheerfulness nine years ago.

DEATH OF MRS. ADAMS
The melancholy tidings of the death of Mrs. Ella LANE ADAMS, wife of
Col. C.W. ADAMS, briefly announced in the morning papers of yesterday, was'
received with the profoundest grief by a wide cirCle of affectionate friends
and admiring acquaintances. In all the relations of daughter, mother, sister,
wife and ,friend she was.faithful, devoted, gentle, self sacrificing and
affectionate. The fatal scourge, consumption, had fastened itself upon her
and despite travel and skillful treatment dragged her on to the final
catastrophe.
'

�Ella, eldest daughter of Jas. H. and Mary E. LANE,was born in
Lawrenceville, Indiana, in 1845, and at the early age of ten accompanied
her parents to their new home in Kansas, and with them shared to a great
degree the perils and privatations of pioneer life in the earliest days ..
In 1861 she was united·in wedlock to Col. C.W. ADAMS and subsequently
became the mother of. two children, soon to be transplanted from earth to.
bloom in the garden of God.
Some two years since, during the protracted revival in this city, she
became interested in religious matters, made a profession of faith and
joined the Methodist Episcopal church, of which she has since remained
a zealous, devoted and consistent member. Hers was a religion of practice
as well as precept. She was prominent in every good word, work and enter-:
prise. She was an ever present and active member of the Sunday school and.
was the promptest link in the "Golden Chain." The sincere sympathies of the
entire community are extended to her bereaved family and mourning frierids.
"There is no death! What seems so is transition,
This life is mortal breath;
Is but a suburb of the live elysium,
Whose portal we call death.

*****

In that greater cloister, stillness and seclusion,
By guardian angels led,
Safe from temptation, safe from sin's pollution,
She lives~ whom we call dead."
Flm,ERAL:-~l1e, G.er~monies attending the. funeral of Mrs. Col. ADAMS will take
place at the M~thodist church at two o'clock this afternoon.

Daily Kansas Tribune, Jan. 29, 1874
FUNERAL OF MRS. ADAMS
The funeral obsequies of this estimable lady were very generally
attended yesterday. The procession from the homestead reached the
Methodist church about half past two. The church was thronged, and
upon the remains entering the church an appropriate selection was sung by
the choir. Rev. W.K.MARSHALL read Scripture selections, and followed in:
fervent prayer that God would comfort the mourners. The choir then sang
"Lips I have kissed, ye are faded and cold." .Afterward remarks were made
by the Rev. J.K. DUNN and Mr. MARSHALL. The members of her class in the
Sunday school were present,to the number of thirteen. The coffin was of
black velvet with silver ornaments. The pall bearers were lady friends
of the deceased. There was a beautiful banner hanging in front of the
altar shrouded in black representing a "Golden Chain," to one end of which
was attached a cross, surmounted with a crown. The other end was attached
to a pillar labelled "Eternal Truth," with a Holy Bible resting on the top.
The center link of the chain.was broken out and could be seen held by a
shaddowy hand from among some clouds. Underneath was "Golden Chain" in
large letters.
After prayer by Rev. Mr. CORDLEY, the choir sung "Sister, thou wert
mild and lovely." And after the remains were viewed by the. friends, they .
were borne to the grave at Oak Hill cemetery where the usual ceremonies
attended the interment.
According to the 1874-75 Lawrence City Directory, James H. LANE lived
on the southeast corner of Illinois and Henry [8th street], and C.W.
ADAMS lived on the corner of Mississippi and Henry [8th street].

It was Mrs. NICHOLS who edited a newspaper at Quindara, Kansas, in
1860, thraugh whase influence at the Wyandotte Constitutianal Conventian,:
a convention called to. farm a canstitutian preparatary to. the admissian :

Befare Mrs. NICHOLS edited the Quindara newspaper, she lived with
her husband an a "claim" sauthwest af tawn,where her husband d:iled in
1856, and was buried only a few rads fram where the first railraad
bridge south af Baldwin naw is located.
Same time after the husband died Mrs. NICHOLS sold'her claim to. a
man who. is at present a resident of Baldwin, and requested him to haul
same rack and place on the lanely grave. The rack remained an the grave,
, which is lacated in a pasture, far a long time, but recently they have

Western Home Journal, August 23, 1883
HALF A MILLION!
OVER $500,000 Worth of Improvements in Lawrence.
THIS YEAR'S YIELD
A List of the New Buildings Erected in the City.
OUR BUSINESS BOOM
We present our readers herewith a list of new buildings commenced ,
and built during the present year, together with the location of each ana
the cost of construction. The cost has been in most cases estimated by :
the owners, or workmen engaged upon the construction. When not obtainabfe
in this way it has been estimated by the editors. As no building permits'
are required, and no list of new buildings kept by the city authorities ~n
this city it was an extremely difficult task to obtain the necessary dat~
for such a list and it was only obtained by the editors of the JOURNAL
after spending two days in riding over the city and noting the improveme~ts.
We have made as complete a list as possible but doubt not that some have i"
been omitted. The total valuation foots up to the vast sum of $500,975.00.
This added value alone assessed at the usual rate will.bring more than
enough additional taxes into ,our city treasury to pay the city's share ":
for the support of the proposed water works. These figures cannot but beI
most encouraging to all our citizens, and they will all be proud of the,
marvellous growth
of our city, which far exceeds any it has before enjoyed,
.
I
even in the flushest times of years gone by. This amount includes only ,
new buildings and does not have reference to improvements in the way of ~
additions to buildings and dwellings, stables and other improvements,
the value of which would undoubtedly foot up to over two hundred thousand
dollars more.
The following is the list arranged according to locating:

QUINCY HIGH SCHOOL REUNION
LAWRENCE, KANSAS
JUNE 1, 1882
Continued from Vol. X, No. 2
The second term was opened by the school singing "Oh Come, Come Away."
At this term only the new names added to the roll were called.
Irene GUEST--responded to by a eulogy from Mrs. DaLEE.
Helen MESSENGER--was answered for by James FAXON.
Mary COLBURN (HARRINGTON) answered for by C.L. EDWARDS.
Susie PEARSON, now in Oregon.
Hattie GUEST (SMITH) and Mary JONES, answered for by John ROSS.
Annie FULLER, (RIGGS)--said present, and the teacher proposed to make
her read her first composition, which he had there, printed in her own hand,
because she did not make a longer speech.
Mary BROWN (WHITMAN) was present, but had been excused for a few minutes.
Clara FALLEY--deceased.
Lucy BURNS deceased.
Mary BURNS--was next called.
Alf. GUEST, absent.
W.H. LAMON--said, "Please, sir, can I speak," holding up his hand. He
said the teacher had forbidden him to speak without permission, and was glad
to know, that now, after twenty-five years' silence he could speak. He read
a new composition as follows:
THE QUINCY HIGH SCHOOL REUNION.
How the memory is freighted with the recollections of boyhood and girlhood days! Lawrence and vicinity is, and has been the homes of many, and
yet how the old "flock" have scattered. From Nova Scotia to California,
from Florida to Dakota, and from Lake Superior to the Rio Grande, at rollcall today in thought if not in word will come the answer--Present!
And then the thought of the dear ones, boys and girls, who, before the
battle of life was half fought, at the very threshhold of a life of promise,
were claimed by the Great Conquerer for his own and calmly and peacefully
laid aside the cares and toils of life.
Among those numbered with the dead, are three of our instructors: S.M.
THORP, our principal, ~ho fell a victim in the Quantril butchery; Miss WILDER
and Miss HASKELL, two as noble women as ever lived. But Miss WILDER especially
do I remember and love to think about, as the most lovable, kind-hearted, ,
gentle, affectionate, without a fault, and without an enemy, with a pleasant
smile and a kind word for everyone. Words are too weak to express a tribute
worthy of her memory. The recollections of such a woman will always remain
precious, and then those old attachments and preferences, that sometimes
ripened into a strong freindship, and in a few instances a mutual affection,
that culminated in union for life:--of
"Two souls with but a single thought
Two hearts that beat as one."
About the same number of boys and girls have sternly resisted all the
assaults of cupid's darts and are to-day living in the enjoyment of single
blessedness, but by far the larger number have become the parents of doting
children, who will one day rise up to call them blessed.
It may be regarded as a foolish vanity, but it is with pride that we
point to the statesmen, scholars, divines, heroes, doctors, poets, legislators,
whose fiery eloquence has resounded from the halls of our state and national
capitols; soldiers that have given their lives for a nation's honor; such and
their like have gone forth from this hall of learning a credit
their

instructors and an honor to the institution.
Twenty-five years! What a change it has wrought. Raven locks then,
are now silvered with gray--faces that were then flushed and rosy are now
furrowed by labor and care.
Let us all cherish the memory of those blessed school days
"When all youth's hopes and promises,
Those rainbows of our skies,
Danced fourth in fairy visions
Before our wandering eyes,"
with their actors and events, more and more as the years roll on, and when
at last the greatest of earthly Teachers, shall, on the great reunion day call
the roll from the Book of Life, may we all be there to answer present, and
together be permitted to enjoy the great supper of the Lamb and spend an
eternity of bliss together.

This closed the second term. The winter term commenced in November 1857.
Henry J. MUNSON and John STILL were accounted for by the teacher.
Charlie BROWN--was responded to in a brief eulogy from his sister Miss
Sarah BROWN.
Russel WHITMAN--in respose to his name Miss BROWN read the following:
OAKLAND, Cal., May 23, 1882.
Here, and such a time as I have had to get in on time, 'twas only to-day
I heard you were all coming together, and wanted to have everyone that could,
respond to their names at roll call.
I can honestly say here I am, and w~sh
in my heart I might say, there I will be, to look again into the kindly faces
that I know I should find among you.
Today I have been recalling those long
ago days and familiar faces.' I seem to see only about a dozen boys and
girls of those I really knew and could call familiarly by their given names.
I am pretty sure I see George, Lyman, Frank, James, Henry, John, Harry and
William, the two Mary's, Alice, Lou, Clara, Miss BOUGHTON, Miss BROWN and
Mr. EDWARDS. I find myself wondering what ever became of Munson and John and
Mary and Martha, are they still living. Abram and Mary~ealized their school
day dreams, are married and living near me in this beautiful sunset city.
We may have our reunion here.
How indelibly all the experiences, faces, and familiar places are
impressed on the youthful mind! they can never be entirely effaced while
memory lasts. I see you in the old rooms, find, my place among the seats,
wander into the recitation room, where I banged young DOW over the head with
my book because he bothered me one day while reciting, over twenty years
ago now, and Miss BOUGHTON walked me "right away out" not to return till I
apologized, which I did, and I believe she kissed me, but you needn't tell
Paul BROOKS. And the place where my particular admiration sat; oh yes,
some of the boys beside myself can remember that seat and the bright beautiful
face that filled it, long since gone to be at rest with the blessed. Let us
always remember just how it was with ourselves, while we have the guiding
and sympathizing to do with our boys and girls. Ohl what doI say? Our own,
yes, surely God has blessed us all and we may count treasures he has entrusted to our care, since the days when we were boys and girls together.
If some one would read HOLMES' poem "The Boys," it would express my sentiments
as I look in on you tonight.

Quincy High School Reunion continued
I said, I had "such a time getting here promptly." Well, I did;
you see, I may as well say it, as long as we are all friends, it was that
blessed baby, came near preventing me, and if my style and manner of communi~
cation is a little mixed, you can excuse it, when you know that while my
hands have been shaking yours figuratively, my feet have been, actua11y,~
rocking the cradle, to think that I should ever be called on to rock a redheaded youth of my own, is certainly very trying, the mother says it is not
so, but I fear the worse. I ought not to have this job on my hands, I
know, but I undertook it because I thought his grandma and nurse did not
quite understand how to soothe and quiet him, so I undertook to show them,
wish I hadn't, hope I may be forgiven. "Is it my first?" oh no, but some
men never get over thinking that they know it all; there lies one other
beautiful boy in the other room, you would see at once that as he has
demanded time for his evening romp, by the time I get this other job off my
hands it has made it pretty lively for me to get in on time.
But all joking aside, friends of my youth, my heart goes out to you,
and the old familiar scenes in Kansas. My last school days were spent in
the room where you now are. In your midst I passed through fire, famine;
and flood, learned my mechanical art, and was started on life's journey.
To those who held a directing influence over my life then, I owe many thanks.
I wish I had repaid them better then. There is one sweet spirit now departed
who won all hearts to her, who I am sure has received her reward from the
Master for her faithfulness and care for the souls that came within her sphere.
You cannot all be as deeply touched as I am at this reuriion,for as ,I
sit so far away in the quiet solitude of my chamber, in the lone watches 'of
the night, on this western shore, all these memories troop before me like,
the changes of a panorama, gay and sad, while your pleasure is that of
personal contact, and enhanced by the magnetism of the senses. still we
shall enjoy it, each in their own way.
May God bless you, dear companions, and your little ones; may they be
brought up in the fear and·. admoni tion of the Lord, and above all things show
them the way, lead them in paths of righteousness, that they may be brought
into the way of heavenly blessings as you have. I send you greeting.
Yours Truly,
RUSSELL WHITMAN.

John DONNELLY was answered for by the following letter, also read by
Miss BROWN:
C.L. EDWARDS, Lawrence, Kansas:
MY DEAR SIR:--It is with great pride that I am enabled to acknowledge
the receipt of your very kind note to attend the reunion of those who were
students at school in Lawrence during the time intervening between the years
1857 and 1863.
All and the only education it has been my good fortune to receive, was
gained when I was comparatively at manhood.
Please believe me, sir, when I say that my heart and sympathy in the
cause of education is ever with you.
I am your friend,
JOHN DONNELLY.

Edward BELLOWS (son of Rev. Dr. BELLOWS in New York), died in Texas.
James P. WOOD, deceased.
Levi B. ANDERSON was responded to by W.H. LAMON, with the following
eulogy:

�185

Quincy High School Reunion continued
"L.B. ANDERSON was one of our oldest scholars. His early education had
been much neglected, but he was a ready learner and made study his business,
and was soon the foremost in his class, which position he easily held. He
was a bright thinker and ready writer. His was a kindly disposition; always
ready and willing to help his classmates in their studies. Little is known
of his after life only that he emigrated to the Golden State, where he died."

Arthur LORING, answered for by James FAXON.
Wm. MOYES, was eulogized by W.H. LAMON as follows:
Wm. MOYES was a native of England. His parents immigrated to America
when he was a child, and located in Illinois. He came to Kansas in 1857.
At the beginning of the war, he enlisted in capt. SWIFT's Company, Kansas
First Regiment, and was wounded in the memorable battle of Wilson's Creek.
Returned to his regiment the following spring, and with it went to
Tennessee, but was soon afterwards honorably discharged.
In 1863 he went to Colorado for the benefit of his health and was in
Denver at the time of QUANTRIL's raid.
Died Nov. 5, 1869, aged thirty years. He had been sick a few days
of pneumonia, but the real cause of his death was his old wound through the
body received while in the army.

Colorado City, Tex.,
May 26, 1882
Mr. C.L. EDWARDS, Miss S.A. BROWN and others, Lawrence, Kansas.
Greeting:--Since the sterner duties of life deny to me the pleasure 'of
being with you at the time indicated in the notice of reunion. I shall venture
to avail myself of the only method left me, to extend you my best wishes for
the success of the reunion of our old school. When I saw your invitation;
so kindly sent me, there came welling up into my heart and mind a thousand
memories of the times and scenes of long ago, and now whilst I try to exte:nd
to you my heartfelt greeting on this your quarter-centennial anniversary
there passes in review before my mind's eye the humble little town of Lawrence,
as it appeared in 1855, a mere speck as it were, on "civi1ization's utmost:
verge," struggling for a respectable position among the towns and cities
then springing up into notice along the banks of the great tributary of the
West. Associated with you as teacher and pupil, under your guidance I first
felt the inspirations of manhood, and it was during the years that I had
the benefit of your tutelage, that I first began to put into definite shape
the teachings with which you so carefully loaded my boyish mind. When I look
back through the retrospect of past events and see my comrades and friends as

�186
Quincy High School Reunion continued
we then stood gathered within the kindly sound of your voices, methinks I
live again in the past. But when I reflect upon the proud position to which
your city, and justly in part to your efforts have attained: remembering
too, the troublous times the bad men and measures we have lived through,. I
concluded that it is by far better that it is as we now find it, letting
the dead past bury its dead, uniting our efforts with them who are left,
in building up the waste places. For one I shall always point with pride
and sincere respect to my old school room and remember with feelings, akin
to veneration those who first tried to teach me there.
The name of Lawrence, and my old associates, will be dear to me as
long as life remains. Again, wishing for you all the success you so richly
deserve I remain,
Very Respectfully,
WM. MARTIN.

Geo. H. PERRY, deceased.
Ernest and Henry SOLOMON,--answered for by W.L. BULLENE.
Frank DINSMOOR said he belonged to the infant class of the old school,
and could remember but little of it. He did remember of the teacher coming
into the primary department and whipping a scholar one day, and it was well
done.
Mr. EDWARDS said that on account of DINSMOOR's age he should have to
forgive him for his error, but said that in all his teaching in Kansas he
never struck a scholar a blow--Miss BROWN did the whipping on that occasion,
and his recollection was that she did it well.
LAMON said if the teacher did not whip, he knew how to pull hair.
Mary SPEER (NEFF), Fanny ROSS (BANGS), and Mary SUTHERLAND (PICKETT),
responded to their names.

Washington, D.C.
922 O. St., N.W., May 26, '82.
C.L. EDWARDS:
Dear Friend:--I feel impelled to write and tell you how deeply I regret
not being able to be present, and to assure you that in spirit I shall surely
be with you all. I envy the birds their wings that I might soar away and,
away, until I should be among you.
Since your invitation came, I have scarcely been able to control my ,
thought, they have been crowded so full of olden memories, and I have lived
over again, many of the happy days gone by, when our greatest sorrow was
having to submit to the higher powers, a cross though light, very far from
gracefully borne, heavy it looked to us then, and all that mortal could be~r,
but could the veil which hid the future, suddenly have been lifted, would
not some of our hearts have been broken? "Wisely for us, behind the sable'
veil ot" night, God hides the future."
So you are to meet in the old school room. How plainly I can see it
now, and I .think I could seat nearly every pupil, and I shall never forget·
how proud I felt when I became one of the number to take a "front seat."
There is a kind of sacred feeling in my heart for the old room and its
associations, and though my children will never gaze upon the spot, I shal~
take one more look at it myself when I visit Lawrence this fall. By the way,
considering what I am, not a Jumbo exactly, but fully as great a curiosity
in my way i.e. an "old maid," I almost wonder you did not wait until I

�187
Quincy High School Reunion continued
came, and how I wish you had! Your invitation asks those who cannot be
present to write something for the occasion, but I, for one, feel as though
such things would be somewhat tiresome, unless someone had the gift of pen
picturing which I have not, so I have asked a friend to take a bouquet in my
name, and let the flowers speak for me.
.
Though I trust the reunion will be one of pleasure to all still a
feeling of sadness will creep through my mind when thoughts of those who
have crossed the river come to you, as come they will, for "there is no flock
however watched and tended, but one dead lamb is there," and out of our
flock several have been taken.
But this is no time for tears, and they will come i f I think in that
direction much longer.
Please write soon and tell me all about the merry making. I shall be
so anxious to hear.
I hope they may be as boys and girls together again, for a few short
hours, throwing aside care and trouble and forgetting the years that have
intervened.

SPRING TERM, 1868. [1858]
Mrs. Sarah A. SMITH was answered for by the teacher
Clara ARCHIBALD was responded to by Miss BROWN who read the following
letter.
Dear Mr. EDWARDS:
Your invitation to attend the quarter-centennial reunion and picnic of
the teachers and scholars of the Lawrence schools to be held in the school- .
room of the Unitarian church on the 1st of June is received, and there is
nothing I would like so much as to be with you and meet my teachers and I
the scholars with whom I was so pleasantly associated in the old school
days, but it is impossible and in compliance with request I send a letter.
You ask for "reminiscences." It was in the spring of 1859, I think,
when I first entered your school. One of my earliest and most pleasant
remembrances is hearing the big boys speak their "pieces" at the Friday
afternoon rhetorical exerci~es.
The exercises of one Friday afternoon
I
especially lingers in my memory, perhaps because I was more than usually,
pleased with at least two of the recitations. The speakers were John
ROSS and a boy we called Dudley HASKELL.
The latter declaimed Spartacus'
speech to the Gladiators. We youngsters, on the front seats, little
thought then that we were listening to the future member of Congress, who
so ably and honorably represents our state in Washington, and of whom
Kansas, and especially his own people of Lawrence, are so deservedly
proud. I forget what was the subject of John ROSS declamation, but him
I remember very well, also another of the "big boys" whose name is on
the printed invitation, "will LAMON." Whether Mr. ROSS or Mr. LAMON
have acquired titles, in all these years, and ought to be dignified with
a prefix of Hon., Judge or Colonel to their names, I do not know. I have'
forgotten whether "Jimmie FAXON" attended your school or not, but I know I

that he as well as myself, were members of Mr. THORP's school. The name of
this excellent and well beloved teacher calls up one of the very saddest,
memories that the troublous times of. Kansas afford, as well as that of his
first assistant teacher, Mrs. CARPENTER, who~e husband was also murderedlby
QUANTRELL on that never-to-be-forgotten" August day. And so the memories 'are
not all pleasant. The roll call will not be responded to by many who were
with us in those old days. Miss Lucy WILDER, your chief assistant is
another wbose presence among you will be missed. I remember her better than
any of the other teachers who were connected with you in the management of
the schools, for I was in her classes. I used to be just a little bit
afraid of you, Mr. EDWARDS, though I should not be now, I'm sure.
You ask that names be reported to you so that the roll may be complete.
My brothers, F.W. and C.P. ARCHIBALD, attended school in the old church
during the years mentioned. They were neither of them in your department
in those early days, but were with Mrs. SUTLIFF, Miss HOLLISTER, I think {ler
name was then.
I do sincerely wish that I could be present at your reunion and ban~
quet, but as this is not possible, I send these few thoughts with my "counterfeit presentment" to represent me.
Though I have been absent from Kansas and Lawrence so long, I have
not forgotten nor lost my affection for the place or the people, and am
proud and happy to consider myself one of you still.
with the most hearty good will to all present, and kind regards to
those who remember me, I am, yours, very truly,
CLARA M. ARCHIBALD.

Augusta LONGFELLOW (DUNN) was answered for by her brother.
Lizzie COLTON (WRIGHT) was responded to by Mrs. A. MARKS, who read the
following letter:
Suffield, Conn., May 29, 1882.
Mr. C.L. EDWARDS.
Dear Sir:--I have just received from my sister, Mrs. J.G. SEEWIR, a ,
note wishing me to attend the reunion of teachers and pupils, to be held in
your city, June 1st. I regret exceedingly that it will be impossible for
me to be present, but rest assured, in spirit I shall be with you. I
attended school in Lawrence from the spring of 1858 to that of 1872, under
the teachings of yourself, Miss Lucy WILDER, Miss HOLLISTER (now Mrs.
SUTLIFF I believe) Miss Lizzie HASKELL, Miss BARBER, Mr. Charles and Mr.
Frank ADAMS and Mr. THORPE. How often have I wished during the latter
,.
years when thinking of old times, that I was once again a child in the old
school-room under the church; although during school life we have our
little trials. I used to think so, especially when I was delinquent in
bringing in my composition sometimes, and you would send me home to write
it. I remember one Monday morning Lou PRENTISS and I both came without
one and you asked our reasons for so doing; after hearing them you reminded
us of the rule in regard to such disobedience. We took our hats and
writing materials and went up on Mount Oread in the basement of the
present university. I have forgotten about the compositions but I know
we spent a most delightful morning. In the winter when there was snow
enough, how we did enjoy sliding down Mount Oread. Memory often goes
back to those old days and I seem to see before me the well remembered
faces of Josie, Allie and Emma ELDRIDGE, Mollie and Emma JENKINS, Mary
ANDERSON, Annie FULLER, Emma and Nellie ENOS, Susie FAXON, Martha and
Will LAMON, Jimmie FAXON, JOhn and Henry ROSS, Lyman PRENTISS and many,
-many others. But I fear I am occupying too much'of your time. wi th a'
.kindly. and affectionate greeting to all present and dropping a tear for
those who have passed to the other shore, I remain your old pupil,
MRS. M. LIZZIE COLTON (WRIGHT).

MARY BOUGHTON BROOKS
I

Mary BOUGHTON BROOKS was one of the ~arly
teachers and a prominent figure of Lawrenc:e.
She died at her residence, 1433 Tennessee ,street
on December 30,1926,"at the age of 89. Tpe
following article was found in a scrapbook, of
obituaries taken"from the newspapers, called
"Lawrence Necrology" at the Lawrence Publi~\
Library. No newspaper name nor date were g1ven.

.

\

Mrs. Paul R. BROOKS
Mrs. BROOKS, before her marriage was ~iss
Mary Angeline BOUGHTON •. She was born June I 13,
1837, in Cayuga county, N.Y., the daughterlof
of the Rev. Alanson BOUGHTON, a Baptist minister,
and Mrs. Hannah SQUIRES BOUGHTON.
'
Miss BOUGHTON came to Kansas in 1847 [1857]
wi.th··a:.married .sister~ 'The'sister and ·:her~·!.family
soon returned to their old home. Not so t~e
stout-hearted pioneer, Mary BOUGHTON. She'
stayed and soon was teaching in the early school
in the basement of the old Unitarian church!.
The year after her arrival in Lawrence on October 3, 1858, she was marrie;d to
Paul R. BROOKS. The wedding was one of great interest and has often been;
described. It was the first church wedding in Lawrence and took place at; the
old Methodist church at 724 Vermont street.
~
Mr. BROOKS came to Lawrence in 1854 and took a prominent part in all! the
affairs of the new town. He continued almost to the end of his days active
in official and business life. He died December 17, 1916.
i
From the time of their marriage until Mr. BROOKS' death, Mr. and Mrs~
BROOKS were leaders in the civic and social life of Lawrence. Their home~
at first the small house of the pioneers, soon, in the '60s, their. spacious
I
and beautiful home on the slope of Mt. Oread, was one of the centres of i
generous, joyous hospitality. Mr. and Mrs. BROOKS had no children of the~r
own but they loved the young. A younger sister of Mrs. BROOKS almost as !
soon as the University opened and a nephew of Mr. BROOKS, a few years late~r,
were sent for from other states to make their home with them, and to be
,
educated to splendid manhood and womanhood in the University. This sister
and nephew both delight· to give to those dear relatives the credit for all:
they have attained through their university education.
:
. Mr. ·. and Mrs .. BROOKS also opened their home, when commodious homes wer~
fewer than now, to University student roomers. Music and books, good
company and good cheer, and the warm friendliness of their host and hostess
made life-long friendships between hosts and guests.
In recent years Mrs. BROOKS has enjoyed cordial relations with the
fraternity, Beta Theta Pi, whose house was the home of her old neighbors,
Judge John P. USHER and family, and invitations from the Betas and roses
from Mrs. BROOKS frequently passed forth between the two.
Mrs. BROOKS was large-hearted, a woman of broad'interests, one who
made many friends and kept them through life, one whose membership was
sought in all kinds of organizations. She lived full of activities to the,
\

�',191

end. She kept up her large house and her extensive greenhouses, living
among the flowers she loved, selling them and distributing them lavishiy'
as gifts.
,
On the morning of December 30, 1926, having gone to bed in her usuat
health the night before, she was found peacefully sleeping the last sleep.
There was 'no indication that her passing had been attended by the slight~st
agitation. Thus another book of ' the homes of Lawrence was closed. The
house will pass to stranger, but for the life lived in it, the life of
Lawrence will always be better and happier.
Following is more information taken from her obituary in the Lawrence
Daily Journal-World, December 30, 1926:
:
Although Mr. and Mrs. BROOKS were absent from town at the time of the
Quantrill raid,' their material possessions suffered. Coming':to Lawrence:
with. the free state men in 1854 as a lad of twenty, Mr. BROOKS was devoted
I
wholeheartedly to the free state cause and was marked for slaughter by I
the pro-slavery forces. His house in Lawrence was the first to which th~
torch was applied. His store was burned in the first raid on Lawrence
in 1856.
The location of Mr. BROOKS' store is marked by a stone placed near
the office of the Underwood company on north Massachusetts st. The stor~
was an open log cabin.
At the time Territorial Governor 'Robert J. WALKER marched against
Lawrence with 1,500 troops, Mr. BROOKS was a member of the city council. :
The troops were camped west of town for several weeks. The free state
council defied the governor and his forces and continued its program
which had aroused antagonism.
Since the death of Mr. BROOKS, Mrs. BROOKS had continued the busine~s
of her greenhouse and had retained her vigor and her interest in all
affairs in a remarkable way.
The funeral of Mrs. BROOKS wilL be held at the home at' 2 0' clock
Friday afternoon. Dr. John F.WATTS will have charge of the services.

MRS. WILLIAM BROWN
Jane SHIELDS was born at Banbridge, county Down, Ireland, March 1,
1840. She was the daughter of James SHIELDS and Mary BARR SHIELDS. The l
SHIELDS came to Wisconsin and settled at Sharon, where Jane SHIELDS was:
married to William BROWN, January 8, 1859. The young. couple came at onc~
to Kansas and settled in Douglas county. Here Mrs. BROWN passed through' .
all the experiences of the pioneer women, hard work, privation, isolatio~
and peril.
Mr.·BROWN was engaged in dairying near Lawrence. In the 60's the ,
BROWNS bought the beautiful farm southwest of the University, where they:
both spent their remaining years. On this farm, Mr. BROWN built and
I
operated the first grist mill in this part of the country to be run by
steam.
:
In Quantrill's raid the retreat of the raiders led them past Pleasant
View farm. Mr. BROWN set out to join whatever defensive organization mikht
be found .. Mrs. BROWN hid with her children in a cornfield. Two differeht
.
I
squads of the ruffians stopped and set fire to the house. Both times Mrs •
. BROWN 'left her hiding and put out the fire, in spite of threats of death'
if she did so. Then came three raiders dragging a colored man and dis_I
cussing how they shou~d kill him. Mrs. BROWN seized an old, useless
revolver and threatened to shoot the first ruffian who should lay hands
on the negro. And she effected his escape.
:
Mrs. BROWN was a woman of strong character, generous, and courageou$
as her actions at the time of the raid showed. She stood for the best I
things in life. She was devoted to home and church and had a warm heart!
and a helping hand for all her neighbors and friends. She was a true ty~e
of the pioneer, brave,resourceful, lavish in giving of her strength and i
her store.
Her life closed March 4, 1927. On the following Sunday scores of
friends from town and country gathered at her beautiful home place,
Pleasant View Farm,topayher the last tribute of respect and. love.
Mr. BROWN died November 10, 1918.
Mrs. BROWN lost out of ' her home by death a beloved daughter, Emma
A. BROWN,' less than a year before her own death. Her surviving children
are: Thomas R. BROWN, Elmer F. BROWN,W~llard BROWN, all living at
Lawrence.
Taken from "Lawrence Necrology",·a scrapbook of obituaries at the Lawrence
I
Public Library; no newspaper name nor date were given. Submitted by Jane~

Editor's Note: This issue of The Pioneer and the next one are dedicated to
the women of Douglas County. Due to lack of space, we have featured only a
few of the women who were important to the history of the area. As C.S. FINCH
put it when he wrote Mrs. Peter LAPTAD'sobituary, "All women were remarkable
in those early years."

Why are women like churches? Firstly, because there is no lLving
without one; secondly, because there is many a-spire to them; thirdly,
because they are objects of adoration; and, lastly, but by no means
leastly, because they have a loud clapper in their upper-story.

Lawrence ·Daily Journal
March 9, 1887
"OLD POM"
S.C. POMEROY
What the Old Man Thinks of Lawrence Women
A Meaty and Gossipy Letter from an Early Kansas Stateman
My Dear Sir:
Encouraged by some words you lately spoke to me,
I venture to send you some letters of a personal, local and
familiar character, such as I would speak into the ears of the
good people of Lawrence if only I had their attention.
I do
this at your suggestion more cheerfully, as for a month past I
have been a constant reader of the JOURNAL.
Its tone and
character I like as I do none other of the daily papers I
read.
I am an "old man" (as they call me) so I hope I do not presume
too much if I may be allowed to address
THE LADIES OF LAWRENCE
I include by this all the good women who grace and
adorn the society of your city, of whom there are none better
anywhere.
From my acquaintance at an early period of your
history, I will say there were never nobler, or more
self-sacrificing, more patient-enduring women adorning the
best type of our christian civilization anywhere in this
goodly land. As illustrative of a retentive memory which
nearly fails me, I will relate a conversation I could not help
overhearing one night, when in Lawrence we were all sleeping
in temporary houses, of tents.
It was during the first trial
periods, for Lawrence had many.
This husband said to his wife in most dispairing
tones:
"My dear, how can we stand these privations and
sufferings? What shall we do? Which way can we turn? We have
no preparation for the winter, no house, no clothing~ no
nothing:" and he ended by saying:
"Let us quit this place and
go back east." To this the wife replied in most decided
tones:
"No I won't; I should be ashamed.
I did not want to.
come, and you know it, but you have got me here and I am bound
to stick it out, come what will."
Noble woman! I thought, thank God for pluck.
It's
the stuff of which glorified natures were made.
For
thirty-two years I have never forgotten that good woman or
that fearful night, but I have never spoken to her as I can
remember.
If she was dead I could give her name, and that
would reveal the name of one of your honored and prosperous
citizens.
That woman triumphed.
She had her way.
It proved
to them a good way. Others too there were who counted their
lives not dear unto themselves, but endured hardship as good

�I

99 ;

soldiers.
Such has been my admiration for these women of
Larence that I have never ceased to make mention of them as
"honorable women not a few." At a later day, when Quantrell
and his gang draped your city in mourning, the very hour I
received a dispatch of the raid at Atchison, I started alone
and on horseback, leaving about 9 O'clock in the evening, road
all night by the way of Oskaloosa, and in the early morning at
sunrise, entered the deserted town.
Lawrence was to the free
state men what Jeruselem was to the Jews, and Topeka was our
Mount Gerisim.
I at once proceded to the church where. so many
were laid awaiting burial. There I saw weeping children with
brave mothers, and brokenhearted fathers and widows who could
not be comforted. What a spectacle to God, to angels and to
men!
The women of Lawrence, that day, were alone equal to
the occasion. There were not undertakers to do their work.
With willing hands and throbing hearts they prepaired the
bodies for burial and then returned to the work of life more
than ever sanctified for its duties. Women schooled in such a
school, disciplined by such adversity, are equal to any
emergency, they always succeed.
I have just finished reading
the late act of the Legislature, which now places the ballot
for municipal elections in your hands for the first time.
This is not the "law of Kansas," not the old "Bogus Code" we
used to set at naught, made for Kansas by an invasion of the
ballot box from Missouri, but the genuine law enacted by your
own chosen legislators. By this law new responsibilities are
placed upon you, and new duties.
They cannot be laid aside or
transferred to others. They are your duties, your
responsibilities.
Law is the idol of American worship.
Liberty subordinated to law is the highest type of human
government.
To bow in adoration to such a divinity can hardly
be called idolatry, it is devotion to human happiness.
This
is no occasion for trifling, and you are not butterfly
triflers.
The ballot is not for sport, and it is no question
of taste, and it is none of convenience,; it is none of
precedent; you are now to make precedents; you have none to
follow.
This is a position of earnest, not to say dreadful
responsibility. Have you thought what was involved in the
elective franchise? Have you seen the proud eminence in which
you are placed? You are singled out, selected from all the
women of the world to wield this potent instrumentality of
good or evil. You are now by law put forward as the
representative women of all the world's history.
Let me speak
plainly as well as kindly to you.
You are placed upon an
elevation and cannot conceal yourselves.
You stand uncovered
now as Moses did when he received the law, then to attract
public attention, "there were thunder and lightenings and the
noise of a tempest waxing louder and louder." Now we have
tamed that lightening to run upon wires, and given it a voice
to speak.
It has already spoken of your position under this
law, into the ears of every civilized nation of the globe.
Moses and the law of Sinai had no such a hearing. Now what

�answer will you make to your anxious country men and country
women? What can you say? More than wordsl
I will ask--What
can you, and will you do? It's action, now that the day of
argument and persuasion is past. The crisis of execution is
upon you. As I have hinted heretofore, you more than
equalled all just expectation.
You will again, some of the
older among you, remember how I plead for the freedom of
Kansas, but not for herself alone. Not simply for the men and
women of that day, but for the good it could do and be, to the
people of ~he other territories, to all the states, and to all
mankind.
It was, if successful, to be a shining mile stone
upon the road of human progress to the promised era of the
world's deliverance.
Kansas was then put forward and the new law of the
people's ballot.
She pioneered the high road to freedom.
There the two systems, involving the two forms of
civilization, first met in combat, and the first victory
achieved.
This was followed by other and greater ones, until
slavery could neither spread or exist where it w~s. What a
responsibility Kansas had at that day.
The result has been a
glorious record in human history.
It will live forever.
Citizenship and the ballot are twin sisters underlying the
American idea of a representative republic.
That idea has now
crystalized into law for the first time.
Equality of
citizenship with you means equality of rights, of duties and
of responsibilities. Again I plead with you to act, to
register and to vote, not more for yourselves than for the
good of others, for you now hold as many rights and priveleges
as any women in the world.
Kansas laws have always been
liberal toward the orphan, the wife and the widow.
The old
system making a wife a sort of an appendage to some man, and
dying, calls her his "relict," never was countenanced in
Kansas.
The more decent and advanced ideas have there always
prevailed and you are now.well prepared for this trail.
To
this great movement, the extension of suffrage which has been
pending for a quarter of a century, you are first called to
act.
Kansas is again in the lead. Municipal suffrage means
equal suffrage, soon to be extended outside of cities, to all
the inhabitants of the state, and all will soon be placed upon
an equal footing, with the same restrictions and limitations
as to age and residence.
To this it has come at last.
You may not have asked for this law, or seen that it
was of use to you, and may not have felt it would be useful to
you or to the country. Many of you have made the men believe
you did not want the ballot. But all wants, likes or dislikes
are now laid aside, all quibbling is obsolete.
You are
brought under law face to face with duties and
responsibilities. What is your decision? Is the voice of
Kansas as a pioneer state in all good deeds to be heard? How
our anxious ~o~ntrymen in 1856, hung with breathless anxiety
upon the decIsIons of Kansas.
The captive in his cell
for opinions sake, the struggling serf in foreign countries,

�:161:
'---

the slave in his bondage, prayed; they all prayed; the poor of
all the world prayed that the cause of freedom might live.
It
did live by the votes of men and the trials of women.
That
triumph will go down gloriously through all the ages.
Do you realize that the eyes of the world are again
upon Kansas? Men and women in all civilized countries are
longing to see the success of the experiment of equal and
impartial suffrage. This experiment has to this hour never
been fully tried.
It is in your power to make it a success or
a failure.
You can now turn the dial of the world's progress
backward or forward. What answ~r to the world's great
question will you give? Ohl if only you could hold your ear
to the great world's telephone, hung in the heavens, while the
bell calls you, and listen to the numbered voices trembling on
electrical currents, because of man's inhumanity to woman, you
would sieze this occasion to make this weapon of defense, the
power of the ballot, a success beyond all further questioning.
"It executes a Freeman's will as ligtening does the will of
God.
I am cordially and truly, with old time memories,
Yours,
S.C. Pomeroy

The Republican, Lawrence, Kansas, Jan. 9, 1862

DIED
In Lawrence Jan. 3d, 1862, Mrs. Frances E., wife of John W. CRUMPTON,
formerly of Warren county, Indiana aged 20 years, 7 months, and 2 days.
The deceased leaves an infant son.
LAST WORDS.
"Wrap my baby in his blanket,
With its broidery of blue,
Lay him in his little cradle
Softly as I used to do.
Warm the pillow
Lest the cold
Gently, gently,
From his hand

by the embers,
should make him wa~e;
put him from you,
the rattle take.

Sit-unwearied by his cradle,
Turn it from the sunlight glow;
Should a dream_disturb his slumber,
Rock him gently to and fro.'
Promise me to be as careful
As his mother would have been;
Teach him love, and thou wilt teach him
Farthest thing from every sin.
I am we ary--very weary,
And I've nought to leave behind,
But my innocent young baby,
That to earth my thought can bind.
Wheri the grave clothes are about me,
If, with wild and bitter cry,
He should press his face against you,
Soothe him with a lullaby.
I have done, and life is ebbing,
Take my baby from my arms,
But, until my eyes are darkened,
Let me see his matchless charms!

LAWRENCE TEMPERANCE ASSOCIATION
The ladies of the Lawrence Temperance Association are now ready to
begin their warfare against the use or abuse of all intoxicating liquors.
Their watchword is PRAYER--and for defense they take the promises of God's
Word. The object of the Association is to harm no one, but benefit all.
There is yet room in the ranks for wives, mothers and daughters who are
willing to "stand like the brave, with the face to the foe." The officers
and members are all working together in the ranks, acknowledging but one
leader--the King of kings, whose voice they hear even now, as it whispers,
"It is I who goeth before thee, be not afraid."
We give below the pledge of membership and names.
PLEDGE
We hereby pledge ourselves to abstain from the use of all intoxicating
liquors, both in cooking, and as a beverage, and also to unite heartily and
earnestly in all efforts for the suppression of the traffic, ·arid·~the reformation of the drinkers.
By the order of the Committee.

The obituary in the Lawrence JournalWorld of 1 December 1914 had bold headlines:
A STRONG WOMAN GONE
Mrs. Richard Cord1ey Figured Extensively
in Early Kansas History
Funeral Will be at the Congregational
Church

\~ere

She Labored So Long

i,

Details follmved about the widmv of Dr.
Richard Cordley, pioneer pastor of the Plymouth
Congregational Church of Lawrence. Born in
Malster, Nottingham, England on 13 April 1832
as Mary Minta Cox, she was the daughter of
John and Elizabeth Cragg (Minta) Cox. Her
husband, Dr. Cordley, had been born also in
Nottingham.
MRS. DR, R, eORDLEY.
A relative, Evelyn Ingham of Escalon,
California, who has had some correspondence with
the Douglas County Genealogical Society, wrote of her disappointment
that Mrs. Cordley's obituary did not provide more details of the family
in England, but speculated that perhaps since "they were so religious,
Mrs. Cordley might not care to have everyone knmving that her family
had oivued the Druid's Tavern and the Horse &amp; Groom, and that her uncle
(who raised her in Michigan after the death of her parents) also oivued
a tavern there."
In his book, "Pioneer Days in Kansas", published by Boston's
Pilgrim Press in 1909, Dr. Cordley wrote movingly about his beloved
wife, her contributions to his career and their life together.
"On account of the unsettled condition of the country I
came alone to Kansas in 1857. The day I entered Lawrence I found the
town very full of people. They jostled each other on the streets and
stood in knots on the corners. I began to think Laivrence a pretty
lively place. But I soon learned that a great free State Convention
i~S in session.
The administration at Washington proposed to force on
the people of Kansas the hated Lecompton constitut:i!on':"
This was the historic convention of 2 DeceIDber 1857 which was
called to protest against a constitution ivhich recognized slavery.
It was held in the unfinished building of Plymouth church, called the
Old Stone Church. An account in the Kansas City Star relates that
"i ts windows were boarded up I and its doors w'ere rough boards nailed
together, but it was the best meeting place in tOiVU, and was used for
many important gatherings, aside from those of a religious nature.
Winter was coming on when Dr. Cordley arrived, and the unplastered
walls ivere comfortless."
He took his own small amount of savings, with which he had
planned to return east for his bride, and instead put it into repairs
for the church.
"It i~S a great disappointment," Mrs. Cordley remembered.
"I had expected to be married at the same time as my school friend, Kitty."
"Mter about a year I " Dr. Cordley Ivrote, "I ivent back (to Michigan)
and brought my ,vife. She I~S English born, and had enjoyed a delightful

�I

I'06 .

childhood in her father's house in Nottingham. Her father and mother
dying, she came to America at the age of fourteen to live with her aunt.
It was a great change from her father's English home, with all its
comforts, to a farmhouse in the back woods. But she adapted herself to
the new life with the zest of her ardent nature. Gathering flowers and
berries in the ,mods, and boating on the lal&lt;e, she ,.,as happy all day
long. She was educated at the seminary at Ypsilanti, one of the best
schools in that region. When she came to Kansas, farm life in Michigan
had gathered about it all the comforts of civilization, and she entered
into the experience of pioneering for the second time.
"At first ·we lived in a hired house in the outskirts of the
town. Then we secured a home of our own. It was a little cottage on a
gentle slope on Ne,v- York street. It stood on the open prairie, but we
soon had some flowers and shrubs and trees growing, and it became quite
an attractive spot. There were only three small rooms below, and two
half-story chambers above. Six hundred dollars a year, as prices then
were, did not allow a very large margin for costly furniture, but the
pastor' s ,.,ife had a knack for . home-maldng, and a few dainty touches
camlmake simple things show to advantage. A cheap but pretty paper
transformed the ,valls, a simple but bright carpet covered the floor, and
every/thing in the room seemed as if it belonged there. It was as cozy
a home as one could find anYlv-here. After the custom of the time it ,vas
painted white, with green blinds, and looked very pretty among the
growing trees.
"And that little home entertained more people than many a
pretentious mansion. La.,v-rence seemed to be one day's journey from
everywhere. No matter where one started from, he ·would reach La,v-rence
the first night. Brethren, traveling, always spent a night in our home,
usually going and returning. A barn or shed built by myself, sheltered
their horses as our house sheltered them. Not only ministers, but
laymen in the churches, at our request, came to our house as they passed
through tmm. Ministers coming to Kansas al,vays came to our house first
to confer about their locations and their fields, and very often to
remain until the way was cleared for them. In many cases they would
leave their families ,v-i th us, ,.,hile they went to look up their fields.
In some cases this required two or three ,.,eeks. It ,vas a rare company
of people which gathered in that little home from time to time, and
their presence brightened up our life wonderfully. Sometimes it threw a
burden on the pastor's wife, but she bore it cheerfully, and I can testify
that the most cultured of our visitors seemed to enjoy her dining-room
more than they did my study. Once a very handsome team drove up with a
couple of gentlemen. They were one of our pastors and a wealthy layman
of his church. They ,v-ere making a tour of the State, and stopped to
spend the night with us. They ,v-ere both charming men, and we enjoyed
their visit very much. In the morning they lingered a while after breakfast,
and at last we reluctantly bade them good-bye. After they were gone Mrs.
Cordley began to clear the table, and found that the lay brother had left
a dollar under his plate. She sat do,m and had a good cry. She had
enjoyed their visit so much, and it spoiled it all to feel that he thought
hospi tali ty could be bought ,.,i th money.
.
"The pastor's home ,vas also a sort of a parish house. Officers,
commlttees and members often met there to confer; the ladies met for
entertainments and socials and sewing; and young people ,.,ere especially
made to feel at home. Mrs. Cordley had a meeting of young ladies nearly
every week at our house to spend an afternoon. Sometimes they sewed,

�------

-"

sometimes they had readings, and sometimes they had singing and prayer.
Her chief aim was that the meetings should never be tedious, and never
degenerate into frivolity. H~Ee they planned for picnics, socials and
fairs, and other means of interesting girls and helping the church.
There were usually tw"enty or more present, filling the little parlor to
its utmost capacity ... Thus the daughters of Plymouth Church learned early
to._" do their part.
"Once my wife baJeed up a large batch of mince pies for the
Christmas season. With her, making mince pies ,vas a fine art, and she
had had unusual success this time. Just as she was taking the last pie
out of the oven, one of our country families, 'vhom vie esteemed very
highly, came in. Mrs. Cordley could not resist the temptation of having
them sample her pies. So one of the pies was cut, and very soon disposed
of. Before they had quite finished ~ating their pie, another family
came in, and a second pie was disposed of. And so it kept on all the
afternoon with no place where she could breaJe the connection. We were
spared, therefore, any bad dreams from that batch of pies."
Dr. Cordley had just finished a three weeks' exchange with the
Kansas City pastor when the Quantrell raid came on 21 August 1863. He
and Mrs. Cordley had been glad to get bacle from Kansas City, he notes,
and to have forty miles bet'veen them and the border ruffians. Of the
return home, he writes:
"Our little cottage had just been repainted, and as we approached
it in the moonlight, that evening it seemed a gem among the trees that
'vere just grmving up around it. It was our first home, and like all first
homes, was very dear to us. We ,valked around about to view it from
several different points. We had the full comfort of it all the next day."
Then came the raid. Dr. Cordley 'vas one of the many marked for
special attention (says the U. S. Biographical Dictionary, Kansas Volume,
published in Chicago in 1879). "He was sought for earnestly, but not
found. His home, hmvever, ,vas burned and all its contents. He remained
on the field taking his Spencer rifle, doing guard duty in the city in
rotation with other citizens."
The Cordleys had to run for their lives to escape. In the afternoon,
after that terrible morning of doing what could be done to help the bereaved
ones, they found time to visit the ruins of their o,vu home. Dr. Cordley
described the scene:
"All that remained 'vas a bed of embers and ashes. Not a booJe or
sermon, not a letter or paper, not a relic of childhood or memento of
friend 'vas saved. As 've stood looking at the disconsolate scene, Mrs.
Cordley quietly Ivept. The Rev. Bodley (superintendent of missions) turned
to:her and said in his gentlest tones, 'Don't cry, Ma.ry. YOU;) have got all
you asked for. We are all here.' No more tears 'vere shed for the ruined""home. So many all about 'vere carrying heavier sorrmvs that 've could but
be thankful at our ovm escape."

A -further sadness was-t:6-come to~ Mary'-Cordley with the death
of her husband on 11 0uly 1904. They had earlier lost two baby
daughters, Minnie and Lilie, in 1867 and 1869. In 1908 she moved to
Topeka to live with a friend, Mrs. Lucia o. Case. She said that she
left Lawrence and came to Topeka to live because Lawrence reminded her
of sorrows in her life. "My husband is buried there, and my two
baby daughters," sh~_ ~01-d a Topeka Daily Capitol ,r_eporter o~~_ ~L}909_____

A report- (undated) in the Topeka Daily Herald in the library------of the Kansas State Historical Society said:
"One day last week Mrs. Richard Cordley, an aged woman 'veIl
known to all Kansans, was rescued from the river where she had attempted
to drown herself. She gave lonesomeness as .the reason she wished to
die. Her husband died a year or more ago and she has lived alone, or
almost altogether alone. Hencefore she will have companions. But
it seems hardly possible to those who know her or know about her that
she will ever again have company, in the real sense of the word, 'this
side of the river.'
"Undoubtedly her mind was affected, but that only makes the
incident sadder. In her younger days she was a strong woman-stronger
than the average woman who is a leader in her community. her husband,
Richard Cord ley , and she were among the earliest pioneers in Kansas.
He was a minister of the Congregational faith; she was a faithful and
effective worker in his congregation. To students of Kansas University'
his figure was a familiar one for thirty-odd years. Less was seen of
her by the students and by the general public, but she was no less a
faithful and efficient worker than her husband. OVer and over again
both of them earned such rewards as are supposed to be the deserts
of faithful stewards.
"And now, her life-long companion and supporter gone, her mind
was weakened greatly, the woe of lonesomeness eating into her heart,
this aged woman tries to end it all.
"To Mrs. Cordley in her sadness and loneliness there Ivill go
out heartfelt sympathy from a host of friends who held her and her
good husband in high esteem in the years that are gone."
She was laid to rest beside her husband in Oak Grove cemetery
in Lawrence along with their two baby daughters. Surviving were two
grandchildren, Richard C. and Alfred M. Griffith, sons of W. E.
Griffith and their daughter Maggie who had died earlier.

�JULIA ARCHIBALD HOLMES: A "Bloomer Girl" of Lawrence
by Judy M. Sweets

One Lawrence woman of the 1850's is
remembered today for her courage and
convict ions.;
Jul ia
Archibald
Holmes,
who',
in 1854 arrived
in
Lawrence with her parents,
John and
Jane Archibald as part of the New
England Emig~ant Aid Company group,
by 1858
held the distinction of
being the fi~st woman to scale Pikes
Peak.
What made the event even more
noteworthy was that while climbing
the
mountain and
crossing
the
plains, she wore an outfit which was
radically different from the longskirted outfits worn at the time.
The kindlof dress which twentyyear-old Juiia A.
Holmes wore has
been dubbed: "The Bloomer" or
"The
Reform"
dress
and
had
been
"introduced ,by
eastern
feminists a
.
1
few years before."
The
outfit,
which consis~ed of a tunic,
usually
of calico,
:which reached the knees
and pantaloons underneath gathered
at the ankles.
Soon after joining the Lawrence
party which: was trave I ing to the
Pikes Peak ar~a seeking gold,
Julia

attracting a great deal of attention.
The only other woman in the party in whom she hoped to find a
sympathetic friend suggested that she "put on a long dress" because
the men "ta lk: so much about you." Her reply:
"I cannot a f ford to
please their taste ... " Indeed,
Julia praised the "bloomer dress"
for the comfort, convenience and freedom it allowed her.2
It may be: that Julia A.
Holmes influenced other Kansas women to
adopt the "Bloomer dress," as a Baltimore newspaper of the 1850's
quoted the K~nsas TRIBUNE as saying:
"Perhaps Lawrence is the only
city in Amerita where a majority of the ladies wear Bloomers. During
a
pleasant
'day they may be seen in all parts of our place~-not
walking out ,for the novelty of the thing,
but making calls and
pursuing their ordinary avocation,
without even suspecting that
their costume was attracting unusual attention; and, indeed, it does
not.
The ladies consider them far more convenient than the street
sweeper; and t'hey
ought to be the best judges. ,,3

'Prominent Kansas:J.Woman (contd)
Robinson, on Oec~~be~ 18, 1865, began preparation~ for the buil~~
ing of their home., The site selected was the crest of a hill and'
the Governor named this country place "Oakridge."
Seeds were gathered from a maple tree and sown at once. June'
1865, and j)nilSe~ibember "tbeIi1e:;was la ilittle grove of 1,300 young
maples. These they ,set 04t about the house and around the estate.
They have grown in the'-fcirty. years to gigantic trees and shade
the public roadway for miles between Lawrence anq "Oakridge."
The mansion, being situated on theLtp~of the ridge, affords
a beautiful view of the university buildings five miles away, and
of the clty of Lawrence. ' The gently undulating ridges about the
house form natural terraces, shaded by trees, covered with,blue
grass, and here and:there'adorned by'some flowering shrub or vine
carefully planted years ago by Governor Robinson himself.' AII'ttl
these unite to make the surroundings of the place most ideally ,
beautiful. Behind the ,house to the northwa'r,rl:!, the land rises " ,
gently, again to a more elevated plane, and here under ,the out-",
,spreading trees is the Greek Cross summer house, where in times '
gone by when Governor Robinson was alive and active, have been, '
held many gatherings ~nd picnics .. Mrs. Robinson told ,us on our'
, visit to her the next day after witnessin~'the ceremonies at
Topeka, th~t on --occasion there h~d been 400,fiiends and ac~uaint­
ances gathered there for a picnic., The writer vividly remember's,
the pleasure of a da~ spent in the same way with some university
friends in thespiirig of '95~
As to:t~e iAterior of the house~ one is impressed the moment
the threshold is crossed, of, the Emersonian doctrine of simple
living' and high living •. You ,feel that it is the house o'f a worker,
in the world's highest work. Thei 1house is finished on the inside,
casings, doors and stairway~; in solid black walnut grown'upon the
farfu. It'is furnished in ~ncient elegant furniture, and one sees
books about him everywhere', in' every room. Entering the front door
one fihds 6neself in a long narrow hall, the stairsasbending the
right hand 'wall; At th'e back of t~ehari ,can ,be seen well filled
bookcases and pictures. OM the right of the hall i~ a large Parlor, "
the tones of which are ligh't. Gifts and 'momentoes' and pictures
'ar~ everywhere, on the white ~arble mantel, dn.!the tab}~s and on
the walls. ,At the head of the parlor stands, a solid mahogany chair,
which was very ancient even when it wasspresented to Mrs. Robinson's
father in ~elchertown, ',Mass., more than 75 years ago .
Passing back thrbugh the hall one ~nter~ the library and here
, ~very 'chair, table, and pictuie is as it was 12 gears a~o, when
Governor Robinson'lived. The elegant little horsehair sofa on
,~which 'he, 'w'as accustomed to lie .with closed eyes when weary, the
elegant ,black walnut.bobkc~s~, t~e grand piano, the tables over- ,
loaded with 'books, ,the p~ctutes, the mantle, everything 'just ~s it
had been,when he lived~ , , '
'
We remarked at this with pleasure. "Yes;" she. said, "I have
not changed it."

On the da~of our'vi~it, our kind hostess showe~ us thenumer!?USll~i fts and remelT]ber.,ances sent to ,her, on the Christmas just passed .

Prominent Kansas Woman (contd)
Th'ey 'had comefrqm ~verywher.e, f-rom Massachusetts to California, 'bespeakihg the love'an~ affect~on i.n which she is held
bYl many friends'. She had mariy,ofthese,laid out on, the top ,
:,"
",
,"
, of the grand piano.
'The .dining room is just ',beyon,d the library and there oY' a
comfo:j:'t,able wood fire, she seated us. By' her side 'was a table, '
loaded with recent magazines ,and papers.' She had been read.rr:ig the account pf tpe Kansas Day p:roceedings', and was v'ery' ,
pleased with it' all. She modestly remarked' she coul(:f not see '
why such honor shou~d be given, her; she ha~nev!er:i~dbne, any-, ' .' '
: thing except to t~y to do the,best she could all:along~:~ And',
in that is contained the philosophy of theages~' 'If we do the

�Prominent Kansas Woman (cont-d)
'Mrs. Robinson has never fiomher childh'ood been 'a strong
woman physically, ana perhaps" ,many, times this has hindered ,her
in active public 'work. She loves to be at, home ~ith her flowers,
and books, and is always glad to see ~bm~dear frie8d:of the old
, , ' , ' ,
'
days.
Clear and concise in her language, it is alway~ a great
pleasure to converse with her. E!3pecially is it interesting
to hear her speak of her husband." a mal! of sterling' character ',:,
and sound judgment. Frank W. ~ihackmar, Ph. [). of Karis'as un~ ver~ity, wrote the biqgtaphy,of Charles Robinson'som~'years ago,
a~d from his wide experience of men'and subjects andbeca~se
of an ~ntimate acquairitance with Go~ernorRobinson, he 'was able
to produce a remarkable book and one' which we wish every ,Kans'as
would place' in t")is hom~, il'ti;"lthe hands of his, chilcjre6, 'so they
might become, familiar with the high principles which ever actuated the deeds of this man'Oin his part-'In in the early strug~
gles of Kansas. ,
' , '
Mrs. Robinson is rather small of stature, slender in form,
has large gray"eyes, and wears her hair combed smoothly back,
from her high, broad forehead ~,
,
Our country has Rroduced many notable women since its fouqdation, but as a combination of,modesty, simplicity and cultur~,
of generosity and high motf~es, of intellectualdepth'and high ~)j
spirituality, with a genuine true heart ever re'sponsive to the,::
needs of her fellowmen; no state can point with more pride to any
of its women, than we'of Kansas, do, to our first Governor's wife,
Mrs. Sara T.D. Lawrence Robinsqn.

The Lawrence Gazette, Dec. 9, 1886
The old colored woman known as "Aunt Esther" died Friday morning at
the remarkable age of 101 years, 11 months and'S days. She was probably
the oldest person in the state, as she would have been 102 had she lived
until Christmas. She had a written statement from her old, master's son,
giving the date of her birth, December 25, 1784, taken from the plantation
register~
She was well known to nearly.all the residents of Lawrence, who
for several years have supported her by their charity. The funeral took
place Saturday from her home, corner New Jersey and Warren streets.

Lawrence Gazette, June 2, 1887
Vinland
A bevy of girls from this place secured a team and farm wagon and each
bearing a basket of good things to eat, set off on last Saturday at 7 o'clock
in the morning to have a picnic, all to themselves; where they went or what
they did is their own business. They returned at 8 in the evening, and as
they drove through our town a number of our young men standing in front of
the postoffice cheered them lustily. Nothing daunted they drove on and disposed of the crowd at their various homes until the two that had charge of
the team were all that remained. Next morning they were all in their places
at Sabbath school, looking rosy and happy.

LUCY WILDER WOODWARD
Lucy Martin WILDER WOODWARD was one of the
teachers in the first schools of LaWrence, Ks.
She was a beloved, highly intelligent, well
respected person and had accomplished much in
her short life. She is better known by her
maiden name, Lucy WILDER, because her teaching
was done before she was married.
Lucy was born 7 May 1837 in Bolton, Worcestercounty, Mass., the daughter of Abraham and
Cynthia FLETCHER WILDER. She came to Lawrence,
Ks. in February 1855, with her mother and her
brother, Dr. Abraham WILDER. Her father and
brother, John H. WILDER had come to Lawrence the
previous October with the Third Emigrant Aid
Company part)'.
Lucy WILDER was well educated and was an
experienced teacher in Massachusetts, and was
_.Lucy ('oVILDER) WO&lt;!l'WAI~D.~. _
hired to open the third term of schools in
Lawrence in the Emigrant Aid Building on Massachusetts Street in the spring of 1856. She was teaching school the 21st day
of May when Sheriff Samuel JONES and U.S. Marshal I.B. DONALDSON rode into
town with a posse of several hundred men. C.L. EDWARDS, principal of the
early school, wrote about this in his article, "Early Schools of Lawrence,"
Lawrence Daily Journal and Daily Kansas Tribune, June 8, 1882. He said,
"The destruction of the Hotel and printing presses on that day temporarily
scattered the school; but it was reassembled when comparative quiet was
restored, and continued during the season, with occasional interruptions,
when the teacher exchanged her occupation of moulding minds and teaching
the young idea how to shoot, and engaged in the more practical occupation
of moulding bullets and rolling cartridges for her father, brothers, and
friends to shoot in defense of their chosen home."
In November, arrangements were made for a six months school to be held
in the basement of the Unitarian Church [933 Ohio: Street]. In April, 185,7,
"Quincy High School" was officially opened with Lucy as one of the teache~s
in the Higher Department. In 1858 she received $600.00 per annum. She
resigned after the fall term of 1858.
She was a member of the Unitarian Church and was involved in community
activities. At the first Douglas County Fair held in October, 1859, at the
Congregational Church and adjacent grounds. in Lawrence, she was on the
committee of Class 1119, which included tne ·categories of·lJild··Flowers·,
Cultivated Flowers, and Boquet of Mixed Flowers.
She is attributed with the drawing of the early sketch of Lawrence, Ks.
viewed from the area near the Unitarian Church and which was placed in the
cornerstone of that church. On the following page is a copy of this sketch
taken from A HiStory of Lawrence,. Kansas, by Richard CORDLEY.
Lucy married Brinton Webb WOODWARD in Lawrence, Ks. on October 9, 1859.
He had come to Lawrence on May 20, 1855, from Pennsylvania and opened a
combined drug and book store which grew into the Round Corner Drug Store,
located at 801 Massachusetts St. It is still in operation today, although
not by the WOODWARD family, and is the oldest continuous business west of
St. Louis, Mo.

A daughter, Mary Webb WOODWARD, was born in Lawrence on January 8, 1862.
She also was a teacher and taught German and English in Lawrence and Topeka
high schools. She later married Thomas F. DORAN of Topeka, Ks.
On July 25, 1865, in Kansas City, Lucy died at the age of 28, following
the birth of a son, Brinton Wilder WOODWARD. He was born on July 22, and ".
died July 26, 1865 in Lawrence. Following are the notices of their deaths
from the Kansas Daily Tribune, Lawrence, Ks., Wednesday, July 26, 1865 and
July 27, 1865:
There was a report in town that Mrs. WOODWARD, wife of B.W.
WOODWARD, died in, Kansas City yesterday. The fact was, intelligence reached her friends yesterday, that she was not expected
to live till night, but no intelligence of her death. Few ladies
have been more highly respected than Mrs. WOODWARD, and all who
knew her will await with anxiety further intelligence, and hope
that she may yet recover.
Thursday, July 27, 1865:
The report which was in circulation here on Tuesday evening,
of the death of Mrs. B.W. WOODWARD, proved painfully true. No
intelligence could cause a deeper sorrow in the hearts of our
people. Affable, possessing a kind heart, a woman of Christian
virtues, she was universally beloved and respected.
DIED
At Kansas City, Tuesday, July 25th, Mrs. Lucy M.W. WOODWARD,
wife of B.W. WOODWARD, of this city, aged 28 years.
Died - In Lawrence, Wednesday, July 26th, Brinton Wilder,
infant son of the above, aged four days.
Funeral services at the Congregational Church this forenoon at ten o'clock--to meet at the house of the deceased at
9 1/2 o'clock. Friends of the family are invited to attend.
[Note. - The Congregational Church at that time was located at 6th and
Louisiana Streets.]
Lucy and her son were buried on private property, probably the WOODWARD
residence, which is now 615 Tennessee St. According to the present owner,
Dr. Frances INGEMANN, there were ghost stories associated with the house, of
someone who died during the Civil War, but she does not recall the details.
This would give credence to the idea that they were buried there. In

�,134

December, 1872, Lucy and her son were reinterred in Section 2,of Oak
Hill Cemetery. Two stones mark her grave: a small one for her and her
son, and a large one for her and her husband with the following epitaph:
"An Earnest life
Loving and helping."
And the grave is not .its goal.
Following is the eulogy given by a fellow teacher, Sarah A. BROWN, at
the 25th reunion of Quincy HighSchool, held June 2, 1882 (printed in the
Western Home Journal, Lawrence, Ks., June 8,1882).
Miss BROWN then delivered a beautiful eulogy to the memory
of Miss WILDER, who resigned her position as teacher at the end
of the 5th term. It was as follows:
Few faces stand out more distinctly upon memory's wall than
hers, to whom I gratefully bring this tribute of affection and
esteem this afternoon. I shall not attempt to give you a complete sketch of her life. If I can bring before you my estimate
of her work and worth as a teacher, it is all I shall try. You
all recall her bright face, not beautiful perhaps , as judged by
an artist's eye, who should take account of regular features and
clear complexion, but beautiful to all who knew her and saw it
lit up with intelligence, .who witnessed its quick play of expression, now sparkling wit? keenest fun, now saddened with
tenderest sympathy. It was a face to be remembered, and which
no photograph could do justice to.
Lucy M. WILDER was born in Boston, May 7th, 1837. She received here such an education as the N.E. common school affords,
graduating at the high school. The Yankee girl of that day must
try teaching as well as housekeeping, so when scarcely sixteen
we find her in the school room. In 1853 and '54.she attended
the Lancaster Normal Institute.' Here she was under the instruction of such teachers as Prof. RUSSELL, well known throughout
New England for his enthusiastic classes in elocution. It seems
to me he did more to inspire a love. for good reading than any
one of that day, and opened the way for the great army of elocutionists who now are occupying the field; Dana COLBURN, whose
mental arithmetic has never been surpassed; Dr. CUTTER, whose
physiology was almost the only accepted text book, as far as I
remember. Those were the golden days of lectures, and she
listened to Prof. AGASSIZ, on Botany, GUYOT on Geography,
TENNEY on Geology, KRUSIE on Language. She caught the spirit
from these true teachers, and gave it forth in full measure to
her pupils. She came to Kansas among the first settlers in
1855. Her merry disposition turned all the difficulties and
hardships of pioneer life into a romance to interest her friends
in the days to come. Though often suffer{ng and overcome by
sickness and pain she had the happy faculty of seeing the
bright or the comic side, and with the aid of a quick imagination she made an entertaining' story. It was this power that
made her the center ofa wide and everwidening circle of friends.
In school her influence over her pupils was very great.
Rough boys who had little to attract, became her lovers, sensitive boys went to her with their troubles, the girls made her
their example and all moved obedient to her will. Even those

�135

not directly under her care felt the influence of her bright
spirit. A word to a class would make them sit up all night to
listen to the matinee of the birds and see the sunrise. Reading
became with her a fine art, geography had the interest of per~
sonal travel, enlivened as it was by anecdote and description.
These were her specialties. I do not recollect her in other
departments.
In ,1859 she was married to Mr. _B.W. WOODWARD of this city,
and July 25th, 1865, she left us to join the choirs invisible,
but she yet lives in the hearts and memories of her friends •

PIONEER MOTHER
ADELA HUNT DAVIS

Adela HUNT was born on a farm in High Point, North Carolina in 1824
to a good and reverent Quaker couple. She and her two sisters learned to
card wool and cotton fibers into thread and yarn, weave cloth, knit mittens,
caps, stockings and sweaters, sew, make candles and soap, can, dry and
preserve fruits and vegetables. They also studied
, and learned Bible
Verses and poetry. Adela learned to tailor men s suits.
The girls attended New Garden Boarding School in Guilford, N.C. (later
Guilford College), which was founded by their Grandfather, Nathan HUNT, a
Quaker minister and farmer, with the help of the Church. '
Adela married Bartlett DAVIS, a student at the school in 1847. Her
sister married his brother, Nathan DAVIS.
Slavery was a concern of the family and they saw slaves chained together going past their home.
Bartlett was a good farmer and they had a nice farm home with three'
free negro:slaves and their families living on their farm, who they paid'
wages and they owed no one.
,
Adela and Bartlett had six children and when their son, Samuel was
ten years old and baby Della only three months, Bartlett died a sudden
death, (probably a ruptured appendix). Adela was a typical southern woman
and could not own ,property or vote and had no knowledge of her husband's
business, so her husband's oldest brother, Winslow DAVIS was made Administrator of her estate. He sold the machinery, stock, land and home for
$40,000.00 He did manage her affairs quite well. She moved to a house
in the village near relatives and friends.
Winslow and wife decided to move to Kansas as it was a free state in
1861 and persuaded her to come along. She left in a caravan of twentyfive covered wagons May 7, 1861. They traveled across eastern Tennessee'
and the west part of Virginia to the Blue Ridge Mountains. Winslow then
divided the wagons into two parts to attract less attention because the
Civil War had begun. Adela's group went through the East Pass to the Ohio
River, ferrying across at Madison, Indiana. They saw thousands of Uniformed
troops on trains to Richmond and marching in Virginia.
Adela stopped at her sister's home in Park County in Western Indiana
after a month's travel. Winslow and wife went on to Kansas to the Hesper
community southeast of Eudora in Douglas County. She came on in March 1862
with her children by train to Fort Leavenworth where Winslow met her with
horses and wagon, ferrying across the Kansas River at Eudora.
Winslow had a two room house for her but it seemed a strange and
lonely treeless prairie in a new country. The next morning she saw a
glorious Kansas sunrise and decided she would love Kansas and she did:,
Winslow invested her money in land but he died in 1884 and left no
will for himself or, her. His wife inherited everything, even Adela's land
but not her house area. Since Winslow had no children his wife's family
inherited everything when she died so Adela was on her Own.
Adela put her seamstress skill to work and sewed for a living, usually
$1.00 per day, and she educated all her children. Shawnee Indians still
lived in the area as this was the Shawnee Reserve until 1854, when they
could sell their reserve land. These'Indians were friendly and never
harmed the DAVIS family because they treated them kindly and gave them food.

QUANTRILL rode up to her house on Aug. 20, 1863, asking for a drink
of water which she pumped and gave hiin and told him she had no man and
six children. When he gave a command his many men from all around the
house arose to their feet and got on their horses in the road. Later she
heard a shot and the cries of her neighbor, Mrs. STONE when they shot Mr.
STONE.
Adela's son, Samuel married Emma STUBBS. They had nine children, one
baby died and the xest graduated from Hesper Academy.
A daughter, Martha, married Edmund STANLEY, school teacher and superintendent of schools in Lawrence and for the State of Kansas. He was the
first President of Friends University. They had four children.
Adela's daughter, Roxana, was a teacher and principal at Lawrence and
Denver, Colorado, but never married.
Daughter Margaret was also a teacher and fruit grower in California.
She married Theodore WELLS and they had a daughter.
Son~ James DAVIS became a businessman, bought a University for $50,000.
in· 1898 and gave it to Kansas Yearly Meeting of Friends. He had two sons
who died as babies.
Daughter, Della was a school teacher and married a Friends Minister and
Missionary, M. Wilford ROUNDTREE. They had no children.
Adela died in 1906, saying, "I hear angels and beautiful music."

A deep gloom has been cast over the Corners and vicinity by the
death of Cora L. BISHOFF, a young lady beloved by all who knew her.
She and her brother were students of the State Normal school at Emporia,
session of 1886-7. At the close of the session she arrived at the home
of her parents full of life, joy and activity. The brother and sister
at home were ':having the measles, then prevalent in the vicinity. She
and her brother took them, and as Cora was getting better of them the
uneliminatedpoison settled on the brain, causing high fever and deliriUm:.
Drs • WILLEY , SIMMONS ,HARVEY and TAYLOR were called in council, but of
all that medical skill could do, she fell a victim to ·the grim monster
Death, who claimed her as his own onSunday.afternoon, Feb. 20. A large
concourse of. sorrowing friends assembled at the residence, thence proceeding with. the remains to the M.E. church at Eudora, where an able
sermon waspreaC:hed by Rev. ENDICOTT, after which the last sad rites
were performed at the Eudora cemetery, the grave being decorated. with
garlands of evergreen and decked with flowers by her associates of Eudora.

'~TODAY MARKS PASSING OF SEVENTY-FIFTH
MILE STONE FOR LOCAL TWINS
The celebration of their seventy-fifth birthdays seemed to cause no
special excitement in the lives of Mrs. Florence BIGGS and Miss Frances
MILNER, twins, who today passed the milestone that marked three quarters
of a century on their life journey, tho the rare and unusual experience
seems worthy of special note to others. While they have been separated
long distances a number of times, they have ·always called Lawrence home,
and when both were ready to retire, they arranged to live almost in adjoining houses.
Born in Erie, Penn., on January 14, 1853, they moved.with their parents,
Mr. and Mrs. William MILNER from Iowa to Kansas in 1857, their father preempting land near lola. Iil the fall of 1862 they moved to North Lawrence,
which was then but a dense woods, with a few log cabins along the river, '
but with no railroad, bridge nor telegraph line, a ferry opposite their
present home on Elm street, being the connecting link with the other side
of the river.
The woods, they recall. furnished wonderful places in which to play and
at Bismarck grove,where the. trees were then mere saplings, they greatly
enjoyed bending these over and pretending they were horses, as they swayed
up and down on them. Perhaps some of the bent trees still to be seen there
today are among those they chose for their champing steeds. The Delaware
Indians were still living at that time on a reservation eas,t of town on
Mud creek.
When QUANTRILL and his band invaded the town on an August morning in
1863, the MILNER family was then living in a house just north of the old
cemetery west of the University, in which the victims.were first buried.
Mount Oread was then barren of trees and the smoke from the burning buildings could be clearly seen in the early dawn. Great was the excitement
that prevailed and Mrs. MILNER and the children joined in begging their
father and another man living with them to go at once and hide in the tall
grass along the ravine. They finally did so and met with no misfortune.
Six pickets were stationed around the house a good part of the day, however, to watch for any 'forces that might be coming to the assistance of
the citizens.
When the destruction was over,Mr. and Mrs. MILNER drove their ox team
to Lawrence, visiting the Methodist church, which had been turned into a
morgue. Upon inquiring what she might do to help, the mother was told to
go home and prepare something to eat for the men who were digging the
burial trenches.
Cookies, biscuits and milk pails full of milk and hot tea, she carried
to the workers at sundown, accompanied by the twins,who remember clearly:
the men standing with their shovels as they stopped a few minutes from
their gruesome work. "That's capital tea," selid Mr. SIMPSON, who was in
charge, the children being particularly impressed with the word capital,
which they. had never heard used in that connection before. All. night the
men worked, till the moon· had gone down.
In January 1865, on their twelfth birthday, the twins moved with their
family again to North Lawrence, their father having purchased five acres
in the town, which was then rapidly settling up. The railroad had come
thru on· New Year's day. In the early days, it will be remembered, North
Lawrence had its own mayor and council, police department and stores.
Grant toWnship, too, was a part of Jefferson county.

�141
In their former home, which was remote from Lawrence, the girls had,
studied with a private teacher in their own home, and later had attended
school at the old Unitarian church, where their teachers were Miss Clara
ARCHIBALD and Miss Mary WELLS. After moving to North Lawrence they went,
to a private school for a while. However, educational advantages were
scarce at that time and attending school meant usually beginning each
fall at the beginning of a text book and continuing as far as time permitted,~the student making a little farther progress each year.
However, the two women have not been idle thruthe years but have
attained a satisfactory education 'in 'their minglingwith.people and thru
books. They have from girlhood days been interested in the woman's rights
movement, on which subject they listened to lectures by Susan B. ANTHONY
and other noted women. They have been earnest workers in the W.C.T.U.,
their mother having been a member of the first organization in the state"
that founded-at Bismarck grove. The Methodist church and the Current
Event club are also organizations which have claimed:-their active interest.
Mrs. BIGGS.has been a widow for a number of years. As the wife of a '
Methodist minister, she lived in various places but Lawrence always called
to her strongly as home, as it did also to her sister, who, after teaching
in the schools of Lawrence and Douglas .cotinty,and in Lane university,
where she was the ,first· teacher of art, later was connected with various
children's homes, then turned to nursing, from which she several years
ago retired. She has in her home a number of paintings which are her
own work. Much of her time now is devoted to needlework, in which she is
quite expert. Just lately she has designed a pattern for an appliqued quilt,
upon which she is to begin work, now that' she has reached her seventy fifth
birthday.
,
Mrs. BIGGS is the mother of four sons, L.C. BIGGS, of Lawrence; W.M.
BIGGS of Salina; W.L. BIGGS of Mound City, Mo., and W.E. BIGGS of Topeka.
Two brothers are also living, C.E.MILNER of McAllaster, Okla., and
G.D. MILNER of Havensville. Another brother, who was to have made his
home with his unmarried sister, died a short time ago, shortly after having
returned to Lawrence from Nevada.
To imagine that they are living in the past would be doing the two
women a great injustice. They are thoroly alive to conditions of today·'
and enjoy the present as much as do others much younger. They do not view
the past with regret that it has gone but rather with the idea that it has
brought something better, making this the best time that the world has yet
seen. A cheerful philosophy 'that we all might benefit by •.

MRS. PETER LAPTAD
Agnes PETRIE was born at Leith, Scotland, and died at Lawrence, Kansas,
January 6,1931, at the age of 83 years, one month and seven days. She came
with her parents to America when she was three years old, and they first
settled in Illinois, and afterwards carne to Kansas, locating first at El
Dorado, and then coming·to Lawrence, where she has lived ever since. She
was married to Peter LAPTAD when she was nineteen years old, and until they
both were well along in years they lived on their farm north of Lawrence.
When QUANTRILL raided Lawrence, her family lived in town, in a house that
stood near where the West End grocery is now. To Mr. and Mrs. LAPTAD were
born five children, Opal, Evedene, Pearl, Coskrie, (Mrs. Allie CARROL) and
Paul, all of whom are living. The funeral was held on Thursday.
Mrs. LAP TAD was a remarkable woman, even in those early years when as
measured by present circumstances, all women were remarkable. She shared
with her family the sufferings and hardships of those first days of Kansas,
and nobly did her part in the struggles and hardships they encountered.
She was brilliant and full of energy" and that she was far in advance of
other girls of the west is shown by the fact that at twelve years old she
was teaching school. Her husband died a few years ago. She lived a long
and useful life and went down to her grave honored and respected by every
one who knew her.

MRS. A. M. LEAMER
Here 57 years Wednesday

Fifty seven years ago Wednesday, July 2, 1856, Mrs. Anna M. LEAMER
arrived in Lecompton, from Altoona, Pa. The railroad ended at St. Louis
and the rest of the journey was by steamboat to Leavenworth and from thereon
by stage.
Mr. and Mrs. LEAMER made their new home in a building on the corner of
Woodson Avenue and Halderman Street, where he had a store. That fall he
built the store building now occupied by I.A. SILLIMAN, and conducted the
finest store in Douglas county. The corner where she made her home all of
these fifty-seven years except for a few months when they occupied Constitutional Hall, while the present residence was being built.
Mrs. LEAMER has seen great changes take place here. From one of the
liveliest towns in Kansas, where violence was rampant, bloodshed of frequent
occurance, and men's passions were stirred to depths seldom known in this
country; after, she saw the days when Charles SUMNER described Lecompton,
"as a lone widow sitting on the banks of the Kaw;" all the vicisitudes and
periods of elation that the town has passed thru in becoming the beautiful
peaceful village of to-day she has witnessed and felt its joy or sorrow.
Violence and violent deaths were of .frequent occurance in the early:
days and Mrs. LEAMER witnessed several tragedies. She saw a son of Dr.
RODRIQUE stabbed, by a man by the name of THOMPSON, in the alley back of her
home. SHERRARD was shot for spitting in Governor GEARY's face, on capitdl
square in front of the LEAMER residence. At a social affair she saw a man
stabbed. Mrs. LEAMER says that not-with-standing the bitter feeling exis1ting
between the men that it never entered into the social affairs of the ladies.
In the more than a half-century that Mrs. LEAMER has lived here she has
been a help to a great many in distress, when death came, her help and sympathy could be depended upon, generations of young people have grown up to
love her for her cheery disposition, but her greatest value to the community
has been as a mother. And this recalls a statement made many years ago by
her husband, in the presence of the writer. He said when a young man, someone asked him when he was going to get married, and Mr. LEAMER replied, "As
soon as I can find· a woman who will be a good mother .to my children." And
when he chose Anna Mary MCCORMICK he made no mistake for she has been a good
mother.
As the joke, laugh, and cheery disposition of Mrs. LEAMER has cheered
Lecompton for fifty-seven years, so we hope it may continue for these many
years for all love her.

IDA JOSEPHINE JOHANSON HECOX
Ida JOHANSON was born July 7, 1844, in StocKholm, Sweden. She came to America in 1855 with
her mother and father, Johanna E. and Lars
JOHANSON. The exact date the family arrived
in Lawrence is not known, nor do we know where
the family lived.
We do know that on the morning of Aug. 21,
1863, Ida's father, Lars, along with other
Swedes who were brought from Sweden to work
on the Lawrence windmill (9th St.), was star.:..··:
tIed by the sounds of QUANTRILL's men. He was
unable to find safety as did some of the"
workers, and was immediately attacked by one
of the raiders. In a taped conversation
(March 21, 1975) with Ralph HECOX, he relates
that his great grand-father, Lars JOHANSON,
grabbed the horse's bridle and called for one
of the Swedes' to grab an axe and kill the raider!.
The man spurred his horse and at the same time
shot lars through the right lung. He crawled
about two miles through a cornfield to safety and
lived. He also remembers being told by his father,
Spencer HECOX, that holes could be seen in both the
back and front of his grandfather where the bullet had IDA JOHANSON HECOX
gone :through . him.
It is not known when Ida met Linus HECOX, her husband-to~be, but
in a letter dated August 11, 1863, from Ft. Lyon, Colorado, he writes:
"Oh,how I would liked to have got a letter from ybu ••••••... It has been
most two months since I have heard from you." The letter was never
mailed, and it is thought that Linus may have heard from traders or
travelers about QUANTRILL's raid on Lawrence. On the day of the infamous
raid, not only was .her father shot; but Ida and her sister, Laura, (Mrs.
Rudolph HELLSTROM) were made to pump water for the raiders ..
Ida and.Linus HECOX were married on June 4,1864. From June 23.to
October 29 of 1864, Linus served as wagon master of an ox-drawn freight
wagon train hauling supplies to:Fort Union, New Mexico. During this
time, Ida lived with his mother, Aspassia HARDING HECOX SMITH, on a
farm located between the communities of Old Belvoir and Twin Mound(s)
(Sl/2 NWI/2 Section 6 Marion Township).
Fourteen letters were written to Linus by Ida while he served as a
wagonmaster. The following excerpts are taken from her letters:
July 5, 1864
Dearest Line
I took Kite down to Mr. Jacob's last night and got her shoes taken off,
and I never saw such a change in a horse's gait in my life. She has
rode very hard since you went away, but now she rides as easy as you
please and not a particle of stiffness is to be seen. I am so glad •••••

�146

Twin Mound. July 24, 1864
Dear beloved husband,
Today is Sunday, almost five weeks since my
precious darling left home. The last week has
not went so slow, as the preceding ones. Yet,
God kno~they have all passed slow enough
to me. Oh, my dearest Line, my anxiety for
my pet is indescribable. I am counting the
days as they go by and wondering were my
own Line is. But you do not get to Union
any sooner for my fretting about it, do you?
I am getting almost afraid to ride Kite,
she stumbles so terribly. The other day
as Jerome was riding to Clinton, he was
galloping along slowly, and Kite stumbled
and fell down right on her side and laid
there quite a little while before she
would get up •.• '
Twin Mound., August 2, 1864
Dearest husband,
I almost fear that I have neglected writing this
letter so long, that you will not receive it,
yet I shall write and hope that you will.
I have heard of the mail being delayed by the
LINUS
... '. HECOX
Indians, be~ween Council Grove and Ft. Larned so
I shall hardly expect one from my darling for a week yet •••
Twin Mound August 22, 1864
Dearest Linus,
.•• In four more weeks I shall commence looking for you. How glad I shall
be when I can sit and look for you, and how happy when I see you coming!
Dearest Line I feel so very uneasy about you knowing how dangerous your
trip is at any ordinary time and more so now, ,when the Indians are
committing such outrages on all the different roads, on the plains. I
have heard that they are running all the, ranchmen off about Ft. Kearney
taking all their stock, and killing quite a number of persons ..•
Twin Mound September'l, 1864
Dearest Line,
.~.I have improved a great deal in riding since you went away.
I do not
pretend to get on a horse any other way than off of the ground. Day before
yesterday I took Kite and a tinpail and started off alone hunting for grapes.
I went down in the Wakarusa valley and found a few. I got off Kite and on
her ~gain five times in the prairie while I was gone and then went home
with my pail full of grapes, quite an exploit for one of my size and age,
was it not?
,October 29, 1864 Saturday at Fathers
Dearest Line,
I rode up to Clinton to day for my mail, and I got a letter from my own
kind husband •.. Oh! Line dear, you must not always be away from your little
darling this way. Just think if something should happen that one or the
other should die, and the other so far away would it not bea terrible
blow for the surviving one? It would be worse than death itself to me I
am sure of that.

On his return, Linus and Ida lived on their farm located on Rock
Creek just a short distance froIn his mother and closer to her parents
(Sl/2 NWI/2 Section 4,.Marion Township). They became parents of five
children-:· _. Lottie, who:-died a:t-:·the age of eight; Robert, Guy, died of
typhoid fever; Neva (Mrs. Charles PRAY); and Ida (Mrs. James GILL).
Linus's half-brother, Irvin H. SMITH and his wife, Celinda, owned
the half section of land south of their mother's home. In Ida's letters
she speaks of Irvin and his family. Tragedy struck them in January of
1874. Irvin died on January 2 as a result of injuries received while
attempting to loosen from the frozen earth an arm load of fodder. His
wife, Celinda, gave birth to a daughter named, Grace Nin, on January 4.
After the birth of her child, her friends had hopes of her recovery
from the loss of her husband, but stating that she would not survive
him long, died on January 7 leaving five small children. The baby
died on September 29 of the same year at the age of 8 months and 25 days.
Ida died in 1877 as a result of an injury sustained while riding
her horse. She is buried in the Twin Mound cemetery near the graves
of Irvin and Celinda SMITH. Ida preceded her parents in death by seven
years. Johanna E. and Lars JOHANSON both died in 1885, and are buried
in the Swedish cemetery now owned by the K.U. Endowment Association.
In 1975, her grandson, Ralph HECOX, placed a marker on her grave
and the graves of two of her children, which were previously un-marked.
(Lottie 1865-1873) (Guy 1869-1890)
Linus remarried and continued to farm until 1914, then left Kansas
to live with his son, Robert Spencer HECOX, at Kendall, Wyoming, residing
there until his death in October of 1917.
The HECOX cabin home was destroyed by the Army Corps of Engineers
during the construction of Clinton Lake. Two pieces of hand-hewn log
were salvaged from a corner section of their cabin and may be seen at
the Clinton Lake Museum in Bloomington Park.

Mrs. Mary BARNES, First to Introduce
Sewing by Piece work In Lawrence
1860-70
A number of years ago when the art of dressmaking
was one that had to be learned with religious exactitude, many
of the older persons in Lawrence ,and elsewhere will remember,
Mrs. Mary BARNES as one to whom they could intrust the making
of the most expensive silk or velvet dress without fear that
it would not turn out right.
In those days a seam--and there
were five to fifteen gores in a skirt--had to come at exactly
the proper place on the hip; the sleeves were long and very
tight, and as the right hand is always larger than the left,
separate measurements must be taken for each wrist. As an
instance of the degree to which a dress must be fitted a few
decades ago, Mrs. BARNES says she remembers frequently of
telling a girl in her employ to set back a hook at the waist
line, the length of the hook.
Mrs. BARNES introduced this part of the country the
system of employing girls in her shop to sew by the piece
rather than by the day or week, and the success of her scheme'
is attested to by the fact that she herself earned the money
to erect the $15,000 building at 826 Massachusetts, which she
sold a few years ago to KENNEDY and ERNST--the upper floor of
which she occupied as a home for a number of years.
The girls
were paid half of the charge for making the dress, and as 'a
result of the training which they received from her, a number
of them have now become famous madames over the country.
"Many of my customers were women who I never saw",
said Mrs. BARNES recently.
"I had printed slips on which
there were blanks for filling out sixteen measurements. with
this guide to work from there could hardly be a mistake in the
finished product. However I soon learned to know the
measurements of ~y regular customers and when one of my girls
would call from another room to ask the size of Mrs. MILLER's
neck or Mrs. WHITE's right wrist measure, I could answer
without refering to my slip."
Mrs. BARNES' first efforts at dressmaking were begun,
before sewing machines were commonly known.
Soon after her
marriage to George TERRY she purchased a chain stitch machine
which she paid for by stitching cuffs and shirt bosoms for her
neighbors in Michigan at two cents a yard.
Four months after the close of the war, she and her
husband moved to Lawrence, arriving here on the day that
LINCOLN was shot in August, 1865.
"There was no place to
sleep", she said, "but we finally found accomodations in the

�: 150·

parlor of the DURFEE House, located where the Organ factory
now stands". As the stairway to the second story led from
that room and there were workmen sleeping above who got up
early, she arose before daylight and walked to Mount Oread,
which was covered with underbrush, .and looked out on the
fields of cut wheat and green corn, the view as far as Eudora
being unobstructed.
"A never-to-be-forgotten sight", she
declares, and rushing back to her husband, she exclaimed, "0,
George, this is heaven.
I have never seen so far away
before."
HARRIS,
William
Kansas,
Captain

Her husband was a member of the firm, TERRY and
which started the confectionery business later sold to
WIEDEMANN.
He lived but a short time after coming to
and three years after his death she became the wife of
William BARNES.

"Aside from the education which I have picked up",
said Mrs. BARNES, "my schooling was received in my father's
barn in Limerick County, Ireland.
In the fall when the crops
had been stored away, the neighboring children would come
together there.
Each day they must bring two pieces of peat
to keep alive the fire in the large fireplace, and two pennies
to pay the teacher.
There were no desks and the seats were
rude benches".
Following the famine of 1846-1847 the family
moved to Canada and, a few years later, she came to this
country where she was at one time maid to a Mrs. FLAGLER in
Washington, D.C.
When asked why it is that her Celtic ancestry is not
evidenced in her speech she explains it thus.
She had been at
the capitol the day that Senator SUMNER was severely beaten by
Senator BROOKS. Rushing home, she exclaimed to Mrs. FLAGLER,
"0, Sinator SUMNER's killed intirely".
That night she
overheard Mrs. FLAGLER laughing repeating her speech to Mr.
FLAGLER. Her immediate decision was that she would learn to
"talk right."
During her four years' stay with the FLAGLERS
another incident occurred which might be of interest to many
in Lawrence.
Returning home one evening just as the rays of
the setting sun were streaming over the windows of the
conservatory at the White House, she remembered that she had
forgotten the corsage which Mrs. FLAGLER had told her to
bring, and which Mrs. FLAGLER was to wear at Mrs. PIERCE's
reception at the White House that evening.
But an idea
occurred to her.
She was acquainted with the doorkeeper, and
maybe he would give her some flowers from the White House.
He
obligingly did so and as she was leaving the building she
spoke to Mrs. PIERCE who was standing in the door, dressed for
the reception in the most beautiful, grey watered silk gown
that the little girl had ever beheld.
Years later a customer came to Mrs. BARNES with a

�;lsi.

grey silk dress which she wished to have,made,over.
It was
only an instant until Mrs. BARNES recognlzed lt as the one
which she had seen the first lady of the land wearing many
years ago in washington. After his wife's death, President
PIERCE had sent it to his neice, Mrs. F. H. SNOW.
But Mrs. BARNES' ability as a dressmaker and as a
financier are, after all, but minor achievements when
compared with the fact that she has successfully brought up
and mothered six children, none of them her own.
It seems
quite impossible when one talks with her to realize that she
will pass her ninetieth milestone next November.
Her hair,·
though white, still retains the permanent marcel which Nature
implanted in her raven locks eighty nine years ago and her
happy outlook upon life is quite as evident as when upon her
arrival in Lawrence she exclaimed, "0, this is heaven."

Wakarusa
Friday March 11, 1887, was the closing of the Literary for the present,
at Franklin. The night was lovely and there was a good crowd out. Quite. a
number of the old folks put in an appearance to hear the young idea shoot,
where a Literary .is carried on for the improvement of the mind and to enjoy
a good laugh, and where there is no bickering but alL have hides thick
enough to stand the pinching witicisms of their spicy papers, as is the
case at Franklin. There can be no. better social gathering or place to
spend a few hours during the winter evenings. Their last program was as
follows: Declamations by Anna KOSTENBADER and Herbert JOHNSON; essay, by'
John STANDING; select reading, DeWit CHASE; declamation, Nettie EGGERT;
select reading, J.J. COX; declamations, Orah GILLHAM and Clinton KIDNEY; ,
select reading, George GILLHAM; declamation, Anna BOWERS; select reading, "
T.M. DUNCAN; declamations, Ennna HOAG and Bertha JOHNSON; select reading,
Samuel JACK; declamations, Eugene MOON, N.N. CHAMBERS, Gertie STANDING
and Rose MCFARLAND; essay, L.H. WATKINS; declamations, Frankie MCFARLAND
and Robert MCFARLAND; song , Milt BROWN •. There were two papers, one edited
by James H. COREL, the other by Miss Anna KOSTENBADER. A question for
debate was: Resolved, That United States Senators should be elected by
the popular vote. Affirmative, Edward IRVIN, L.H. WATKINS, A.T. COX and
L. WALTERS~. Negative, H.H. JOHNSON, Mr. HARVEY, Eugene MOON and Worth
THRALL. Valedictory, by James EGGERT •

Mr. LANE's Barn Burned.

------,

The fire department received a call last night at 10:45 to Mr. LANE's
place at the corner of Louisiana and Elliott streets. His barn had caught
fire from some unknown cause, but the alarm was turned in so tardily that
the barn was burned down before the engine got there. A high wind was
blowing and the barn burned like paper. There was no hay or animals
in the barn, only an old buggy,~and the loss was about $275.

EARLY SCHOOLS OF LAWRENCE
By C.L. EDWARDS
Lawrence was settled in August, 1854. January 16, 1855, 'Edward P. FITCH,
who came from Hopkinton, Massachusetts, opened a school in Dr~ ROBINSON's back
office, which was up stairs in the Emigrant Aid Building, which stood on the
now vacant lot north of the National Bank building. The school term was three
and one half months, about 20 scholars in attendance. The teacher's salary
was raised by subscription.
The following June--about the l6th--Miss Kate KELLOGG, also from Massachusetts, opened a school in the same place. Length of term three months.
Miss K.,we are told, was employed and paid by Dr. ROBINSON. She returned East
at the close of her term.
There was a call for a school meeting for October 11, 1855, but no record
can be found of such a meeting having been held or of any school during the
winter of 1855. The exciting events of the October election and the "Wakarusa
War" in December ,following, gave full occupation and sufficient schooling to
all citizens, old and young, for the seacon.
In February, 1855, Abram WILDER, with his family, came to Kansas from
Bolton, Massachusetts, and settled in Lawrence. In the Spring of 1856 the
daughter, Lucy M. WILDER, opened the third term of schools 'in Lawrence in the
Emigrant Aid building. This I think was a subscription or tuition school, and
was in session on the memorable 21st of May, 1856, when Sheriff JONES and
United States Marshal DONALDSON entered the town with their hordes of "Border
Ruffians."
The destruction of the Hotel and printing presses on that day temporarily
scattered the school; but it was reassembled when comparative quiet was restored,
and continued during the season, with occasional interruptions, when the teacher
exchanged her occupation of moulding minds and teaching the young idea how 'to
shoot, and engaged in the more practical occupation of moulding bullets and
rolling cartridges for her father, brothers and friends to shoot in defence of
their chosen home.
During the spring or summer of 1856, Miss Henrietta ROSS, who also
came from Massachusetts with her father'sfamiiy in September, 1855, taught a
short term of school in the room over'''FAXON's meat market" where the regular
Sabbath services of Plymouth, Congregational church were held at th'at time.
In the fall of 1856 Rev. E. NUTE and E.B. WHITMAN, Esq., made arrangements
with C.L. EDWARDS, a teacher who came from Massachusetts in 1855, to open a
school in the basement of the Unitarian church which was then approaching
completion, for a period of six months at a salary of $800, Mr. E. to hire his
own assistant. The basement rooms were in the hands of the plasterers, PAUL
and HARE, and, cold weather coming on and a multitude of other hindrances
such a plasterers are heir to, the rooms were not ready for occupancy till
1st of April, 1857. Through the influence of Messrs. WHITMAN, ROTE and others,
the desks, tables, settees, books, globes and maps necessary for a complete
furnishing of the school had been donated by parties in Boston, which like all
the teachers thus far named, and a majority of the scholars in the year 1857,
had belonged to the good old Bay State. The school opened March 30, 1857, in
the Emigrant Aid building on Massachusetts street.
Miss Lucy M. WILDER, having been engaged as assistant on the 1st of
April, the new rooms in the church were occupied, and on the 2nd, formally
dedicated for school purposes. Then was inaugurated what for two years was
known as "Quincy High School," so named for Hon. Josiah QUINCY, of Boston.

�Early Schools of Lawrence, con't.
The salary was paid in part by funds sent Messrs. ROTE and WHITMAN, in
part by Dr. ROBINSON, and finally in full by turning over to the principal a
lot of notes given by poor settlers in payment for loans made them from funds
sent from Boston. One or two of the notes were paid, but the balance are
still held. with the autographs of several of the prominent men of that day
attached. It is barely possible that these, the autographs--not the notes,
may some day be valuable. Our regular seating capacity was for sixty scholars,
but the roll of the first term foots up a total of 77 names.
At the end of fourteen weeks the vacation occured and the fall term of
ten weeks opened on the 7th of September. Number of scholars this term was
67. During a portion of summer a term of school for younger pupils was held
in the vestry room of the church under the charge of Miss DAVENPORT--not from
Massachusetts. Later the room was used for the storage of relief goods in
charge of E.B. WHITMAN of this school.
In the fall of 1857 a meeting of citizens was called .to choose a committee
and raise funds for a winter school.
The following persons were elected a supertending committee: Dr. S.B.
PRENTISS chairman, Dr. Albert NEWMAN secretary, Lyman ALLEN treasurer, E.B.
WHITMAN, G.W. HUTCHINSON. John BOWLES was appointed to circulate a paper and
a large amount was subscribed. Mr. BOWLES was also collector. The following
named persons were engaged as teachers: C.L. EDWARDS principal, and Misses
Lucy M. WILDER, Sarah A. BROWN, Mary BOUGHTON, Isabella G. OAKLEY assistants.
The term of 14 weeks opened November 30, 1857. The principal was to receive
$600 and pay the first assistant; not being responsible for the pay of the
other ladies, the amount of their salaries is not on (my) record.
It is, however, fresh in mind that the subscription list did not hold out
from failure to pay and other causes, and while the assistants were all paid
in full, the principal carried a shortage of from one to two hundred dollars
ten years, and finally in '67 or '68, through the efforts of Hon. S. KIMBALL,
R. MORROW and R. L. FRAZER then in the city council, got his claim allowed
without interest.
The assistants were assigned as follows: Misses WILDER and BOUGHTON to
the High School, Misses BROWN and OAKLEY to Intermediate and Primary. All
the departments with a total of 210 pupils were crowded into the basement of
the Unitarian church. On the 27th of January, 1858, the first "Free State"
Territorial Legislature, then in session at Lawrence, adjourned at an early
hour for the purpose of visiting the schools.
On the visitors register for that date we find nearly fifty names, including Secretary and Acting Governor WOODSON, Senators NASH and WRIGHT,
Speaker DEITZLER and E.N. MORRILL, H. Miles MOORE, C. GRAHAM and others of
the House.
In the spring of 1858 the city Government was established with James
BLOOD as mayor. The schools were organized with Dr. A. NEWMAN and John M.
COE, Esq., Trustees, and Dr. A. FULLER, T. Dwight THACHER, Dr. S.C. HARRINGTON,
Geo. F. KILLAM as examining committee. The teachers were C.L. EDWARDS, and
Mi~s Lucy M. WILDER in the Higher Department; Misses Sarah BROWN and Lizzie
HASKELL, Intermediate; and Miss Isabella G. OAKLY in the Primary. The
primary school was moved to a building near the Hancock House, which stood
near the N.W. corner of Tennessee and Warren streets. The High School contained 60 pupils. The principal's salary was fixed at $1,200, Miss WILDER's
at $600 per annum.
This disparity will disappear when it is understood that city scrip was
issued to the Principal for the total amount, which sold from 40 to 60 cents
on the market, while the assistant was paid in· cash 100 cents on the dollar
from the avails of the same.

�Early Schools of Lawrence, con't.
The other teachers were paid direct by the city and probably also received
scrip. The spring term opened AprilS, 1858, and continued 13 weeks. The fall
term of 12 weeks opened September 6, with the same teachers. The number of
pupils in the High School was 63. At the close of this term Miss WILDER resigned the position she had filled with great acceptance for nearly two years,
and a few months later was married to B.W. WOODWARD, Esq., of this city. The
winter term opened December 13, 1858, with Miss HASKELL and Miss H.M. FELT who
had been Miss BROWN's assistants transferred to the High School. There were
74 pupils in the higher department during this term.
At the close of this second year of service Mr. EDWARDS, who in the preceding November had been elected County Superintendent of Schools, receiving
his commission from Governor MEDARY, February 7,1859, resigned the position
of principal of the High School, and C.W. ADAMS, who during the winter had
opened a private school in Woodward's building on Massachusetts street, was
appointed to the vacancy, and the High school during the Spring and Fall was
removed to the Woodward building. The old room in the basement had been hired
by Mr. EDWARDS who designed opening a private school in the Fall of 1859. Some
time in 1858, through the active exertions of Dr. MINER and Rev. WIn. BISHOP,
a Board of Trustees had been organized and operations commenced for a University. The majority of the trustees were Presbyterians. The board included
Gov. ROBINSON, Rev. Charles REYNOLDS, T.Dwight THACHER, :H.M. SIMPSON, C.L .. ,
EDWARDS and one or two others from the vicinity who were not of that denomination. In 1859 work had been commenced upon a building on Mount Oread and the
foundation put in of what is now called the old University. During the Summer
of 1859, it was decided to open a Primary Department of Lawrence University,
which was done in September of that year in connection with Mr. EDWARDS'
private school, Rev. William BISHOP and Rev. Charles REYNOLDS coming in daily
and conducting the departments of languages and elocution respectively. There
were 43 pupils in attendance. Mr.' EDWARDS received the tuition fees, while
the other gentlemen got away with 'the glory; at the close of this term, the
glory having faded the tuitions failing, or for other,causes known only to
the Presbyterian Board, the school was suspended. Mr. EDWARDS gave up his
private school and the City High School under Mr. ADAMS moved back to its
old quarters. The letter of Rev. BISHOP will shed further light upon this
first University term, and Mr. WOODWARD's remarks to follow will cover the
history from this point to the Quantri1 Raid.

It is expected that all the old Quincy High School scholars will try and
be present at the old school-room on. Tuesday, June 1st. They are expected to

identify themselves as entitled to admission to the exercises. If any have
been overlooked, send their names to C.L. EDWARDS~ and they will be furnished
invitations.

On response to that call over three hundred of the old scholars answered
or had their n~mes answered to. They met in the old original school-room in
the basement of the Unitarian church. The original old teacher's desk was
there, the old:bell which called the children to order, and which had before
done service in the old Free State Hotel was there. The original superintendent
was there and ~resided. Five of the old teachers were there; a majority of the
first board of leducation were there.
The old ~chool room, as one entered, looked like a miniature paradise,
which it is di£ficult to describe. On either side of the teacher's desk were
doors leading ~o the rear. Over the one to the right, in evergreen, was 1857-that was when the school began, where the scholars entered, directly back of
the teacher, w~s l863--when the school ended. Over the door to the left, 1882-where we now go out, representing the present. Under the date back of the
teacher
were the
photographs of S.M. THORP, Reesen SUTHERLAND, Miss Lucy WILDER,
,
I
Lieut. Low. WADKER, son of Col. Sam. WALKER, Charlie COLEMAN, son of E.A.
COLEMAN, Mary ANDERSON,
Emma ELDRIDGE and Emma JENKINS, all of whom are deI
ceased. There ~as also a picture of the first building erected in Lawrence,
two floral wreaths, a cross and anchor and other floral decorations. The'
teacher's desk was ornamented by several boquets and a table in front contained
fifty or more most
elegant
floral designs. Beside this the walls were hung
I
'
with pictures and even the ponderous wooden pillars were twined with evergreens
and flowers.
At a few ~inutes after two W.H. LAMON was directed by the teacher to ring
the bell and can the children in. Then the old call bell was tapped and the
children came t~ order. Mr. C.L. EDWARDS said the school would open with singing, and the boys and girls of twenty .... five years ago united in singing "God
Speed the Right i "
The teach+r then offered a fervent prayer, invoking the blessing of
Heaven upon those
present and those absent.
I
Mr. EDWARBS then said the first school was opened in Lawrence March 30,
1857, in the Emigrant Aid Building. Following the old plan we shall call
the roll first, land require an excuse from all absent without leave. The
first school in!Lawrence was taught by Mr. FITCH, and opened in January, 1855.
Among his scholars was Alvira COREL, now Mrs. J.J. McGEE, Josie and Dora
JOHNSON. Of Mi~s Kate KELLOGG's pupils, the following are the names: D.C.

Quincy High School Reunion continued
when the roll is called from the old book in the old familiar tone of. voice.
I shall be prepared to note with you the changes which time has wrought in
the lines of members present and absent also to recall the memory of the
faces of those long since gone to the.. ';bettei:: land." The 'years have gone 'so
quickly that I suspect you will fancy you can almost hear the echo of those
voices somewhere about' the old house.: Onlij"a few more days and we shall
meet there again, waiting on the other side, perhaps to guide our feet in
the new and strange paths. Death has called away very few of the old
original members, I suppose, and yet I imagine the class will not be very
well represented at your reunion. A part of the old class in arithmetic
are still there, however. Please ask James FAXON if he wishes to propound
another mathematical problem to them. He was in a most unamiable state of
mind towards GREENLEAF's National when he gave this one, which you perhaps
remember. "How many cubic feet are there'- in a big pile of brush?" I
sympathized with him in his mood and so remembered the problem. Remember
the doctor and myself to those present and tell them how pleased we should
be to be with you on that occasion. Remember me to all friends.
Yours affectionately,
MARY.

Emma JENKINS' name was responded to by Mrs. Dr. PRENTISS.
Josie ELDRIDGE (ELLIS)--In response to this name Mrs. WHITMAN delivered
the following eulogy:
JOSIE P. ELDRIDGE.
Those of us who were pupils here during the years of '57 and '58, will
not have forgotten the lovely face of her in memory of whom I have been _
called to write these few lines. No words of mine can do justice to that
dear friend of those old times.
Her sweet ways, her loving disposition must be remembered by all her
old schoolmates.
Josie P. ELDRIDGE was born Jan. 25, 1846. Sept. 5, 1871, she married
Rev. F.M. ELLIS, and died in Kansas City, Oct. 5th, 1872. This is the
record of one whose life was full of gentleness and goodness, and for whom
the beautiful verses of our loved poet, WHITTIER, seem to have been especially
written.
Another hand is beckoning us,
Another call is given:
And glows once more with angel-steps
The path which reaches Heaven.

And half we deemed she needed not
The changing of her sphere,
To give to Heaven a shining one,
Who walked an angel here.

The light of her young life went down,
As sinks behind the hill
The glory of a setting star
Clear, suddenly, and still.

The blessings of her quiet life
Fell on us like the dew:
And good thoughts, where her
.. ...
_.. "'footsteps pressed
Like fairy blossoms grew.

As pure and sweet, her fair brow seemed
Eternal as the sky;
And like the brook's low song, her voice,
A sound which could not die.

Sweet promptings unto kindest deeds
Were in her very look;
We read her face, as one who reads
A true and holy book.

Lucy HOYT, absent.
Margaret JONES, reported as deceased by Henry ROSS.

Mr. C.L. EDWARDS:
Dear old teacher of my childhood, in response to the notice of reuni.on
I send these lines from my Nebraska home. I wish that I could be with you
in person but this being impossible I will try my best to imagine myself
there. I hope that I may add something of interest to this little gathering
of old and well remembered schoolmates. In a few days it will be seven years
since I had the pleasure of looking on beautiful Lawrence, and except- four
times have not looked on a face I have ever seen before, outside of our
own little family. I assure you these little flying visits of friends of
other days and other scenes were appreciated, and none can tell how much
until isolated from home and friends.
Lawrence has always been home to me and always will be. Where ones
childhood is spent and loved ones live and lie buried, there the hearts
home affections center and "homeis where the heart is." This gathering
will be one of joy and sadness to many, for there will be names called who
gathered with us around you and our dear teacher, Miss WILDER, to receive
instruction and consolation in our many struggles and trials in our studies,
who are now remembered with the silent dead. Others like myself have sought
homes in distant states, who, I hope, will respond as I have done to tell
of their wanderings. My recollections of you""are those of pleasure, as

�72

Quincy High School Reunion continued
we always found you ever ready to assist, always patient, kind and courteous.
And on my part I have many regrets, as I can now remember the precious hours
I let slip by never to return, regrets that I did not improve those golden
opportunities now lost .
. And, in conclusion, let me say how much I should love.to be with you
to answer to my name when it is called. I hope to see a minute account of
the meeting in the Lawrence Journal, which paper is gladly received in our
home. I am glad to know, though absent, I am not forgotten. with many
loving remembrances for each and all, I remain as ever, a true friend.
Helen PATTERSON CONE.
Lizzie FREEMAN, Mr. John ROSS answered to her name and said that though
she was not here herself, her picture was.
Susie FAXON was answered for by Mr. Frank FAXON.
Maggie DUNCAN (GREGG) was reported by C.L. EDWARDS.
Bathilda SNYDER was reported by M1ss BROWN, who read the following letter:
Denver, Col., May 28.
Dear Mr. EDWARDS:
I received the invitation so kindly sent by you, to be present at the
reunion of your old scholars and teachers on the 1st of June.
How I should enjoy meeting all the dear, familiar faces assembled
together in our old school-room. It would seem like being a child once more,
and certainly after roll call my hand would instinctively seek the books,
slate and pencil of my school girl days ,.' but instead of this I am away out
here on the farthest limits of the plains of Colorado, and find it utterly
impossible to be one of your number.
I was in Lawrence last fall, saw many of myoId schoolmates, but
none of my teachers.
I shall remember the. hour· of roll call and hope some kind schoolmate ,"
will answer for me, and tell them I am thinking of them at that moment and
deeply regret not being able to be with them.
I sincerely hope the majority of our number will be "present," although
many dear friends are gone forever, and many like myself will be absent in
person, but with you in spirit.
Your old scholar,
Bathilda SNYDER METCALF.

Charlie COLEMAN, killed in battle-eulogy by James FAXON.
Eddie HUTCHINSON-died of quick consumption two years ago. W.H. LAMON
said of him:
"And what shall I say of Edwin. I remember him as the brightest and
shrewdest of boys; always at the head of his class; he was a young giant in
mental arithmetic, standing head and shoulders above the entire school in
that branch of study. He excelled in penmanship and at composition he was
good. He died in Humbolt, Kan., of that fell destroyer consumption, at the
age of ~5, leaving a wife and one child."

Rezin SUTHERLAND,-eulogy pronounced by Mrs. MARSH.
Henry ROSS responded present and called on James FAXON to make his speech.
Arthur FULLER was answered for by John ROSS
Geo. P. WILDER was answered for by James FAXON, who read the following
letter:
Chanute, Kan., May 31st, 1882.
Teachers, Schoolmates and Friends, Lawrence, Kansas.
I am very sorry that circumstances are such that I cannot be with you
tomorrow, however I can go back a good many years as to the history of the
Lawrence Schools.
The first school I attended was taught by Miss KELLOGG, the room
being in what was known as the old Emigrant Aid building a two story frame
situated north of the present National Bank, the lower room was used for a
carpenter shop and hardware story.
Dudley C. HASKELL and myself were the largest scholars and when it
was necessary for any whipping to be done either Mr. HASKELL or myself
were sent out after the carpenter to perform the laborious task who by the
way happened to be Mr. Geo. HUNT, father of one of your prosperous merchants.
The next year the Unitarian church was erected when the wise men of
Lawrence rented the lower rooms and school opened with a full corps of
teachers. Two of the number are now with you while the third now rests
with many more dear friends in your beautiful cemetery.
The next thing of importance, as far as the writer was concerned, was
the day he had to speak his first piece and failed when Mr. EDWARDS sent
me to my seat, with the consoling words you can have two next week. will
say I had plenty of company.
My second trouble, with several others was to offer an apology to
Miss FELTS (now Mrs. H.S. CLARKE) for misbehavior in our classes.
The third and last difficulty when 25 of us were sent home from school
one Friday afternoon for whispering with instructions not to return until
we were willing to ask pardon of our teacher, Mr. EDWARDS, and will say
that quite a number did not return.
Trusting this will be a pleasant meeting and that a permanent organization will be effected, I remain
Truly· yours.
G.P. WILDER

John M. SPEER-Robert SPEER and David PURINGTON-eulogy read by Mrs.
W.O. HUBBELL.
John M. SPEER, at the age of eleven years, and Robert at the age of
nine, came to Kansas with their parents, May 18, 1855, from Medina, Ohio.
Soon after their arrival they entered the first school taught in Lawrence.
They next attended the Quincy High school, where they received much of
their early training, which better prepared them for the positions of honor
and trust they afterwards held, and a bright prospect of future usefulness
lay before them.
Robert at the age of twelve, was page in the first Free State Territorial Legislature, of '57 and '8, and John was page in the first Kansas
State Legislature under the Topeka constitution, and witnessed the dispersion of that Legislature at the point of the bayonet, by Col. SUMNER,
by the direction of Jefferson DAVIS as secretary of war. Though but 12
years old he was among the last to leave, and was wont to tell his school
mates with great glee of how some 1adJes punched members in the back
with their parasols to make them vote as Col. SUMNER was marching upon
the Hall of the House.

�Quincy High School Reunion continued
He was a writer of some ability. Both were employed in THE TRIBUNE
office at the time of their death, .which occurred in that terrible massacre
by QUANTRIL, August 21,1863, which we all so well remember, when death.
and destruction Laid waste so many homes, and so.many hearts were made
to mourn the loss of loved ones.
The body of Robert was never found. He was supposed to have been
murdered and burned in the Republican office where Liberty Hall now
stands with David PURINTON, where the two boys were supposed to have
slept the night preceding.
Thus abruptly terminated the lives of three bright and promising young
men, whom memory loves to cherish; and could they have been spared to
finish their work so nobly begun, their names might have stood high on the
roll of honor. But to-day their seats are vacant. They have answered to
the last roll call.
Han. D.C. HASKELL responded in the following letter:
House of Representatives,
Washington, D.C., May 24, '82
C.L. EDWARDS, Lawrence, Kan.
My Dear Teacher:--When you call the roll on the 1st of June, after our
long vacation, I shall fail to answer to my name, much, very much to my
regret, and so under the rule I send this note as my excuse. Neither father
nor mother can write it for me, for the Great Master has called them to
Him in the great school where is taught the mysteries of the infinite, and
I am alone now, with only my thoughts for company.
My excuse--I had dropped my pen that I might think, and for the
moment forgotten my present duty.
First dear teacher, I have lost my books--every one of them. I laid
them down, I don't remember where, and they are gone, hopelessly gone, I
know not where, nor how. I have not hunted for them much--I don't know
where to look for them, and some how I cannot but feel that if I did look,
I should not find them. My dinner pail too has disappeared, and·there
is no one here to put up my lunch. Besides, my dear teacher (you must not
laugh "at me) I have watched all. the morning for Emma and Nellie ENOS to
come across the prairie, (you know we always go to school together) I have
not seen them yet, and now it is too late. I am afraid for once that they
have gone some other way. I simply cannot go to school to-day. Please
excuse me, and I will send with this a composition I have written concerning some things that happened last term, and some that I remember
during the vacation. I sat if you remember with Lee ANDERSON, (the boy
who lived with Mrs. HICKS over on the west side of town), and our seat was
in the northeast corner of the school room, in the back row. Lee was a
good boy, and advanced more rapidly in his studies than any boy I ever knew.
He could barely read when he first came to our school, and when his second
term closed Lee had mastered, aye mastered GREENLEAF's arighmetic, and
was correspondingly well along in his other studies. Poor boy! he started
for Pike's Peak by the Arkansas river route, sickened by the way, and died
at Pawnee Fork. I read his name the same year on the bit of board they
had placed
his grave, while I too, was on my way, across the then great
unknown plains to the land of gold.
A few seats in front of us and in the next row of seats to the left of
us, was the liveliest, most frolicsome, irrepressible bright, good natured
little fellow who ever plagued a teacher, or learned the most difficult

lesson in a minute, and if you can see him to-day in the sober, staid, and
upright merchant of Lawrence, Wm. LEIS, Esq., your eyes are brighter than
mine surely. I can see the boy this minute, and I love my friend the
merchant, but I must call in a scientist to trace the connection between
the two--I cannot.
Another of our boys a little younger than myself, has never quite broken
the chain of resemblance. Geo. WILDER the public spirited merchant of.
Chanute is our old Georgie WILDER "grown up" to be a leading citizen of
Neosho county.
John ROSS, Abe. WILDER, Henry ROSS, Will. LAMON, Jas. FAXON and a
dozen more of our older boys will be with you, and answer to their names,
get all the good seats, and tell of a thousand things, that to write, would
take all my time this summer. John ROSS was a good boy, none better, and
in his riper years has filled the promise of his youth in a splendid manhood, but there were times, John, when you tried our patience, and taxed
our friendship sorely, but we could never refuse so good a mate our forgiveness after the smart was over.·--Teacher, you remember that John had
good taste in two directions? He knew a good horse when he saw one, and
he knew also the prettiest girls, (all our girls were pretty) and John
had a good horse and buggy. I never knew a pretty girl who did not love
a buggy ride. Oh well teacher, it is all right now, I can't blame the
girls, and of course John had a right to, but you see us barefooted boys
had no show, not the least in the world. One can't forget every thing-still I don't see how we could blame the girls.
What rare old games of ball we had. How could a set of boys have
had a better time? And it is twenty-five years ago! A dozen happy
beautiful homes built since on the old ball ground, and not a trace of
it is left.
Do you remember, teacher, how out on that ball gound, Abe. WILDER,
Charley COLEMAN and I started an Indian Industrial Training School?-twenty-five years ago? CARLisLE and HAMPTON were not thought of then.
We were the pioneers in that grand work of civilizing the red man--tried
to get a Kaw Indian to cut wood for the school house stove in payment for
his dinner. The school failed--never had but the one pupil, and he did
not gradua te .
Dear old Charley COLEMAN, just as good and true, as ever boy was
made. The war came, Charley heard the call of his country and went, but
he never came home, he sleeps where
"Honor guards with solemn sound
The bi vouac of the dead."
No sooner do I commence to jot down these recollections of boyhood
days and the old school than I am reminded of the impossibility, for mere
lack of time, of preserving
these sheets, one in a thousand of the
pleasant memories that come thronging to my mind, and begging so strongly
for a place. It is possible that we had the usual boyish quarrels, exchanged the usual hard words, and the blows that were so soon repented of,
but if so,I have forgotten them. I can recall to mind not a single
instance of the kind. The past comes back to me in only pleasing recollections that bear with them nothing that I would fain expunge from the
mental record.
My early school experiences were somewhat peculiar in the way of
changes. I remember distinctly to have attended district school in nine

different places. If experience ever·. :taught me anything, or rather if I
profited much under the same old teacher, I think when I entered the
seminary at East Hampton to prepare for college, I must have been a
juvenile expert on the subject of district school. Be that as it may, I
regard our old school at Lawrence as by far the best one I ever knew or
read of.
The discipline, dear teacher, that you maintained was marvelous. In
what other school was ever permission given to any pupil and every pupil
to rise and cross the school room at will, on any errand connected with
the daily tasks, conditioned only that there should be no noise and no
abuse of the privelige. In what other school was then enlisted every
one of the older pupils as self-elected monitors to enforce the rules?
I know of none. Our school was pre-eminent for its good order, and so
thoroughly was every pupil imbued with the idea of preserving it, that
older ones acted as the assistant teacher in cases of her absence frequently, and heard the recitations of the lower classes, with the gravity
an decorum of owls, not surpassing in this regard however the members of
the class who recited.
The influences of that school will never cease to act, never. They
will go on, and on, and on, generation after generation. Think of that!
When the next quarter centennial comes there may not be one of the old
band left. At best only a few, a very few, old and white haired, will be
left to recall the dear old days, but the influences of that school will
never die. The pearls of good counsel that were. dropped one by one by you,
dear teacher, in the pellucid pool of that old school room, sent the ever
widening circles out and on, out and on, unbrokenly--at last they will .
break, but in little waves on the far off silent shores of the Infinite.
Join wi th me friends, schoolma tes.· in .this sentiment to our teacher
Here's a smile for those that love thee
Here's a sigh for those who hate;
And whatever sky's above thee,
Here's a heart for any fate.
But who shall make answer to that sentiment, that I know will be presented--of course it will be presented,--Our Girls-"We had been brutes without you."
I am not equal to the occasion. There will fall to some favored one,
the pleasing duty, to tell how well they bore their part, ho~ they brightened
·by their presence the old school room, what a potent incentive they furnished
"us boys" to make at least high endeavors to gain an honorable place and
name for ourselves when we should come upon the stage of action.
After twenty five years, we will all bear witness as to each and every
one of our girl schoolmates, that we could do them no greater honor, provide
for them no more fitting testimonial, than to execute faithfully in their
behalf the last injunction given in the last chapter of the Book of Proverbs.
"Give her of the fruits of her hands and let her own works praise her
in the gates."
I fear friends that'I have wearied you, and I will close, there will
never be a celebration that I shall so much regret my inability to attend
as this one.'
I shall doubtless meet many of you again, and the meeting with each
of you will be most pleasurable as it has always been, but I shall never
meet together, as you are to-day, and it is with sincere sorrow that I can

be with you only in spirit. This however wiLL be some cOIlsolation, widen
your circle and let me in, let me feel again the clasp of your hands for
a moment, and then breathing a wish that you may have to-day a most joyous
reunion, and for the future that you may have a full, free and unfettered
prosperity I sink into the silent signature of
Your friend
D.C. HASKELL.

Hoffman COLAMORE, responded to by John ROSS.
Geo. H. JENKINS, was unable to be present but his regrets were sent.
Charles F. MINER,--died of yellow fever in Memphis, answered for' by
Will BULLENE.
Cosma G. COLEMAN, answered for by James FAXON.
Will DUNCAN, answered "Here."
C.T.K. PRENTICE said Will narrowly escaped being absent by going over
the dam after a duck.
Dr. PRENTISS was of the opinion that Will got a "duck."
Eddie DOW, deceased--reported by Henry ROSS.
James Lowe WALKER, was answered for by Charles SMITH with the following
statement:
James Lowe WALKER, son of Col. Samuel WALKER and. wife, was born in
Lowden, Franklin county, Pa., in June 21st, 1846. He moved to Kansas in
1855 with his father and family. He attended the school taught by Mr.
Edward in 1857--also the schools taught by C.W. ADAMS and Miss BARBER in
the year 1859 and 1860. In 1863 he enlisted as a private soldier in
Company I, 5th Kansas cavalry, served in that regiment till promoted to the
position of 1st Lieutenant of Company D., 16th Kansas. In 1865 was ordered
to Colorado. Was killed at Julesburg in the fall of 1865. His body lies
buried in Oak Hill Cemetery near Lawrence Kansas. He died a brave soldier
and a worthy man.
Geo. HUNT--iIi the city, but not able to be present.
Charles and Barney PALMER, eulogized by John ROSS.
Walter PARKER answered for by Henry ROSS, is now submaster of the
Philips Grammar School in Boston.
Nellie ENOS MARSH remarked that Walter PARKER said that Mary BROWN and
Nellie ENOS were the two worst girls in school.
Principal EDWARDS said in response,--He never knew Walter PARKER to
tell a lie.
Samuel DODSWORTH and Thomas SEATON were answered for by the teacher.
John ROSS was glad to be present and respond to the old roll call.
Lyman PRENTIS--Mrs. Wm. SIMPSON presented a written excuse for him,
but the teacher doubted its genuineness, especially as it was not signed.
John ROSS, however, came to the rescue of Lyman, and put in a good word for
him, telling an amusing story about him.
FAXON 2d--Frank FAXON answered for himself and said he was one of the
smallest boys of the school. This created amusement, as he has now grown
to be a very large man.
The teacher then called on Wm. LAMON to read a composition which he
had written twenty-five years ago, and which he had not been allowed to see
since. It was entitled, "My Native Town" and was a very funny document.
This rhetorical exercise, the teacher said closed the first term of
school,the total number of names called being 77.

�Topeka Capital, Nov. 3, 1907
MR. AND MRS. ALLEN LEEPER
The subjects of this sketch were early settlers of Lawrence; they
came to Kansas in 1859 and in point of actual years of residence are among
the oldest in the historic city. They passed through the memorable massacre
of Quantrell's men, Mr. LEEPER being miraculously preserved from being
burned to death by the heroic efforts and bravery of his wife.
Allen LEEPER was born in Ohio, August 24, 1826. When six years of
age his parents moved to Bloomington, Ill., where Allen was educated. He
married Vienna VEATCH, September 26, 1847, remaining in Bloomington until
1859, when they removed to Kansas. Mr. LEEPER was not only a pioneer of
Lawrence, but also one of· the progressive and enterprising business men,
being a contractor and builder for years, witnessing many changes in the
building of the city, being always personally interested in its development.
He served with the State militia in the Price raid and is a member of the
I.O.O.F. In religion, Mr. and Mrs. LEEPER are identified with the First
Baptist church of Lawrence.
Vienna LEEPER was born in Indiana, January 22, 1832, daughter of
Elijah VEACH, a Baptist minister for over sixty years and one of the pioneer
ministers in Illinois, going to Bloomington in 1835 when it was a very small
village. The VEATCH family are Scotch descent and trace their lineage to
1750, serving in the Revolutionary war and the war of 1812.
Mr. and Mrs. Allen LEEPER were the parents of three children, the
oldest, a daughter, dying in infancy, and Allen Whitney died when seven
years of age soon after coming to Kansas. The remaining son, Charles Gilbert,
was raised and educated in Lawrence. Married Miss Sadie V. DANNER of Louisville, Kentucky, in 1878. He was a resident of Topeka a number of years and
died in 1891, leaving a wife and one son, Dorle. This son.of Mrs. S.V.
LEEPER and only grandchild of Mr. and Mrs. Allen LEEPER, died last April in
Topeka.
In the declining years of this old couple the sweet of life has cast
a mellowed light, the sweetness of life has come out and they are sitting
today in the contentment, waiting for whatever change there is in store
for them. Th~ir life has been a beautiful one, blended for sixty years,
and is intertwined so that it is really but one life and with one hope.

CREEL KILLED
Well Known Farmer Loses His Life
in a Runaway Accident Near
No. 6 School House.
STEVE WILSON ALSO HURT
Horses Scared by Team Coming Up Behind.
CREEL DIED THIS MORNING
Ira CREEL was killed by a runaway accident last night near No. 6
school house.''.
Steve WILSON who was with him was also badly hurt, but will recover.
The accident happened about 5:30 last night. The two men were taken
to the home of S.M. REYNOLDS where they were given every attention. Medical
aid was summoned from town and Mr. CREEL lived through the night. He died
at 6:45 this morning. Mr. CREEL suffered severely during the night~ He
was terribly bruised and mangled. Mr. WILSON was painfully h,urt but not
seriously.
Mr. CREEL was one of the best known farmers in this county. He was
a good citizen, a man universally popular and his tragic death has caused
widespread regret. Mr. WILSON was formerly a rural route carrier and is
also well known.
Mr. CREEL and Mr. WILSON were driving home from Lawrence and when
near No. 6 school house a team unexpectedly came up behind them. The rat~.
tling of the wagon frightened the CREEL team which was feeling on its
mettle anyway and it at once became unmanageable. The two men had little
chance for their lives against the thoroughly frightened team. It is not
known exactly how they were thrown out, but it seems that in turning a
corner, the wagon in which they were riding lunged to one side, throwing
them out so hard that it inflicted the injuries that caused the death of
Mr. CREEL.
This terrible accident has shocked the friends of Mr. CREEL. He had
lived practically all his life around Lone Star and his neighbors could
hardly credit his untimely death.
Mr. CREEL was a man about 43 years of age and leaves seven children,
the youngest only a week old. He lived on the W.R. WILLIAMS farm.
Friends who have investigated say that Mr. CREEL attempted to pull
the horses into a hedge to stop them, but instead they turned in the
opposite direction and threw the occupants out. Mr. CREEL hit a stone
which inflicted the injury that caused his death.
FUNERAL OF MR. CREEL
The funeral serV1ces of Ira CREEL will be held Saturday afternoon at
2 o'clock from the home near Pleasant Grove. Burial will be in Pleasant
Grove Cemetery.
*No. 6 school house is still standing at the corner of Iowa and 23rd Streets.

Them

Early Settlers of Grant Township, Douglas County, Kansas
by Anna Morgan Ward (February 1945)
(Continued from Vol. X, No.1)
North of the PINE and GARRETT places is the ROBINSON farm.
Gov. ROBINSON sold the south west 40 of his farm to a Mr.
GILLETT. The GILLETT's were the parents of Mrs. C.W. BABCOCK.
BABCOCK was a well known Lawrence citizen. I saw an article
in the paper not many months ago which said Carrie BABCOCK
was post master. I think it should have read Carmie BABCOCK.
7h~ GILLETT's lived on their farm for a few years. The place
has changed owners a number of times, and of late years has
been known as "Herds' Cornei."
Near the northeast corner of the Robinson farm, but south
of 'Mud Creek is a tenement house. This is where the Robinsons
lived while their house on the hill, was being builtin the
summer of 64. Mrs. ROBINSON spent part of the time in Massachusetts. The first family that I knew of living there after
the - ROBINSON's
into their new home
was
the COVEY family. .
- - -'" moved
They were a large family and five of the children attended
the subscription school, Ki, Bill, Rena, Tom and Lincoln
COVEY--Clay PURCELL, Gilbert, Jona Jr. and Anna MORGAN. There
were about three colored FITCHUE chi ldren. I have forgotten
their given names. Twelve pupils in all. The FITCHUE family
I believe, south of- ----------------_._-------------the MILLER farm.
- lived,

..... ,

The COVEY's lived on the ROBINSON farm a few years, moved
on '-to a place north of here. After a few years they moved
to 'town, and for many years were well known citizens of North
Lawrence. They were succeeded on the ROBINSON place by the
Wiiliam CAMPBELL family. There were three grown daughters
in the family, fine women and they all three passed away
in just a few years, and the oldest son, Eli, wasn't long
in following his sisters. There were five younger ones and
four of them attended Oakridge in the early 70's. They lived
on the place a few years. Many other families have come and
gtine on that place but for some years Lawrence LEONHARD has
lived,there.
'
North of the 'R-OBINSON. farm and across the road is the
James GILMORE farm-.~-Jain-e-s GILMORE married Julia HARMON, a
welT known' teacher in the Oakridge school They settled on
tB~irfarm in the middle or late 70's. They had three children.
The heirs are still interested in the home place.
,Joilring the James GILMORE farm on the north is where Ed
and Will YOUNG settled in the late 60's. They kept bachelors
hall for a time. Ed YOUNG married and his wife, Lib YOUNG
(as she was usually called) was a real help to the neighborhood.

HISTORIC LANDMARKS DESTROYED BY FIRE
Many Buildings Dated Back to Territorial Times
FOOD SUPPLIES IN OLD HOTEL
Territorial

Hostelry~

Later School Dormitory, Offers Refuge

Postoffice and Practically all Business Transacted in
Various Parts of the Structure
It was History that burned at Lecompton on Monday night.
The building in which the August HILDENBRAND general mercantile store
was housed was known as the Leamer. store building, and was built during the
War of the Rebellion by William LEAMER, a well known settler in the early
days. The building was frame, and had been built, originally, of native
lumber. It was never torn down and rebuilt; but through the years that have
passed, constant repairs were made. In the old building William LEAMER ran
his little country store for more than forty years.
The Lee Hardward store which also suffered a heavy loss, occupied a
second building which dates back to war times. Although the building was
not injured by the flames, the stock, which had been carried out into the
street by frantic workers, was damaged to the extent of about $1,000.
Just back of the Iliff Mercantile company's double store, and only a
few yards from the very center of the fire, is the United Brethren church,
unhurt by the flames. The church stands on the site of the old territorial
capital of Kansas-the scene of much excitement in the days of border warfare. The foundations of the old capital are still standing around the
church as is a portion of the· foundation of Lane University, the United
Brethren school, which stood on the site for years before it was torn
down to make room for the church which stands there today.
But it is to the old Rowena Hotel-the building used for a dormitory in
the days of Lane University-that we turn for the object of greatest interest.
Into this old building, the monument of the town and the reminder of old
territorial times, the entire business district of Lecompton has been moved.
Before the fire, the old hotel had stood empty for many years~save for the
little office in an upstairs room of the Lecompton Sun. But when disaster
clutched the village in its grip, practically every business building in
the town was wiped out of existence. Into this old hotel then, the foodstuffs of the community were taken by the fire fighters; and Lecompton's
population turns today for its meals to the stores temporarily established
in the hotel.
Before daylight on the night of the fire, R. Lemuel ILIFF rented the
hotel for a temporary location for the Iliff Mercantile company. Later
he sublet a room in the building to HILDENBRAND, his competitor. Another
room was leased to Dr. C.C. KERR for his office, and a third to Mrs. Lula
TODHUNTER, the postmistress.

FIRST FLOUR MILL
In Kansas Was Built by J.W. WILLEY
Who Now Lives Near Here
Out in the Blue Mound Picturesque District
Mill Built in l857--Material for
Building Brought From Indiana in Many Ways.
The Sunday Topeka Capital contained an interesting account of the first
flour mill in Kansas, said to have been started by J.W. WILLEY. Mr. WILLEY
now lives here near Blue Mound. The story said in part:
So far as is known, the first bolted flour made in Kansas was that
manufactured in a mill at Blue Mound, seven miles southeast of Lawrence,.
fifty years next autumn. John W. WILLEY, Sr., and his son, John W. WILLEY,
Jr., the last named a present resident of Kansas City, Mo., built the mill.
It was a combination institution being used for a saw mill in which material
for the houses and other buildings of the early settlers and the bolted
flour were made. Shingles also were rived out at the mill.
The elder WILLEY and his son left Retreat, a little town on the
Jeffersonville &amp; Indianapolis railroad about Marc~ 1857, for Kansas. Twenty
days later they landed in Wy.andotte and proceeding at once to Blue Mound,
seven miles southeast of Lawrence, bought a claim and picked out a site for
a mill on the Wakarusa creek. The location was on the farm then owned by
Robert ERVIN. The father returned to Indiana and securing the machinery
for the mill shipped it as far as possible by rail and then loaded it on
a boat for Kansas City, where it landed some time in August. They hauled
the equipment for the pioneer flouring mill overland from Kansas City to
Blue Mound, hewed out timbers for a frame, erected a mill which was a combination saw mill and grist mill, sawed the lumber to board up the framework
and began the manufacture of those two great essentials to the pioneer
settlers, flour and building material.
Some of the incidents of those times when the WILLEYS with their
flouring mill were doing their part toward making of the new commonwealth
are interesting. When they first came to Wyandotte, they procured a pony
from a Methodist preacher, William BUTT,who lived at Quindaro. They took
turns riding the pony. One would mount the pony and ride ahead to the
summit of some hill, where he would dismount and walk along, the second
one taking the pony and riding ahead as soon as he had come up with the
animal. Thus they made the journey through what then was the Indian
country.
Among other things which they shipped with their machinery was a yoke
of oxen. These patient animals were of the utmost value in the new .country.
They were strong and patient--two qualities much needed in the hauling of
logs and timbers. On Sunday the oxen were hitched to a wagon and trotted
away bearing the family of their owner to religious worship. In breaking
sod the oxen deserve great credit. Three yokes would pull a 20-inch plow
through the virgin soil, leaving it ready for the planting of crops.
The farm where this pioneer flouring mill was located is owned by
James WILLEY and is said to be one of the most beautiful rural places in
Douglas county.

Lawrence Daily Journal, Sept. 6, 1881
DEATH OF J.W. WILLEY
J.W. WILLEY, of Blue Mound, who in company with his wife, were thrown
from a buggy on Sunday week, while returning from church', died on Sunday
morning last at nine o'clock. Mr. WILLEY, for several days after the accident, supposed that he might recover, but .congestion of the brain supervening, he gradually showed signs of dissolution, until Sunday, when the,
great change came. Mr. WILLEY came to Kansas in 1857, and had lived on
the present homestead ever since. He had his golden wedding in December
last. He has always been marked for great uprightness of character. He
won the esteem of his neighbors and all who had any business or social
intercourse with him, by a strict observance of the golden rule. He was
seventy-three years old, and leaves nine children-five of whom only will be
able to be present at his funeral, one of whom is J.W. WILLEY, of this
city. The funeral will be held at Blue Mound to":day, and the procession
will reach Oak Hill Cemetery about two o'clock.
It is a singular coincidence that the father of Mr. WILLEY came to
his death in a similar manner to his son, dying after suffering the same
length of time. We are glad to know that Mrs. WILLEY, who has been enduring
the pain of a dislocated shoulder, shows good reason for believing that she
may recover.

THE ANCESTORS, FAMILY AND DESCENDANTS OF
JOHANN HENRICH LUDWIG THOREN AND CATHARINA SOPHIA BECKtillIR
FROM 1630 TO 1984
BY ELIZABETH HAYNES

-.

This is a loose bound volume of 135 pages compiled by Mrs. Elizabeth
HAYNES of Santa Rosa, CA. As any useful genealogy should be, the volume
is 'indexed.
Mrs. HAYNES documents the ancestors of Mr. THOREN and his wife Catharina:
BECKMEIR back to the 1600's. Pictures and a description of the Brakelsick,
Germany area are included which was the birthplace of the couple. An interesting bit of information Mrs. HAYNES mentions is children took the name of
the mother on occasion as in the event a woman became a widow and remarried.
The new husband took the name of the farm.
The THORENS came to America and settled in Stephanson County, Illinois.
Most of the seven children stayed in Illinois or nearby states.
Of special interest to those with family in Douglas County, Kansas, .:.is
the section on Henrich Christian THOREN and Katharinia Elizabeth ROHRBACH.
The couple came to Eudora, Kansas in its very early years. They raised a
large family and most of their descendants are listed. A few of the families I
in Douglas County are THOREN, NELS, GERSTENBERGER, ALTENBERND, FLEMING,
GABRIEL and DURR.
In the more recent families many dates of births, deaths and marriages
are given.

My mother, Maude Woodard, was born in Lawrence in 1898. She kept a
1 ittle scrapbook of cl ippings from the newspaper. Her address at that
time was 1340 Vermont St., Lawrence. I tried to photocopy the
cl ippings, but they were so yellow nothing showed up.
From 1911:
Cinderella Play
Cinderella was very attractively given Saturday, May 20, by
some of the juveniles at 1230 Tennessee Street, the home of Mr. J.
R. Stockwell. The play was staged on the sleeping balcony, which
was beautifully decorated in roses. The characters in the play
were as follows:
Cindere11a-~Bessie Allen; The Prince--Mati1e Fincher; Fairy
Godmother--Leone Hilkey; Step-mother--Una Stockwell; Haughty
Sisters--He1en Curtis, Annette Garrett; Lords at the Ball--Maude
Woodard, Virginia Melvin, Winifred Ward. The parts were all
played exceedingly well. The Prince and Cinderella, however,
being the stars. Cinderella was truly beautiful in the ball
scene, being dressed in pink tulle, spangled with gold and silver.
In the wedding scene Cinderella wore a long white lace veil. The
Prince was truly royal, wearing full uniform. An informal
reception was given after the play.
From 1912:
Picnic
Woodland park is becoming more popular. It is an ideal place
to hold a picnic, if one does not want to eat their suppers in the
good old fashioned way by putting the table cloth on the grass,
there are tables of all sizes to be used and plenty of benches on
which to sit on.
Last evening the Cordfey guild of the Plymouth Congregational
church held a del ightfu1 picnic at Woodland park. Miss Jean
Russell was the chaperon and those present were Miss Isabel
Gilmore, Miss Dorothy Angevine, Miss Winifred Ward Miss Winifred
P~ankM' Miss Maud Ell iott, Miss Mary Hodgeson, Miss'Darlene Wooley,
ISS
aude Woodard, Miss Dorothy Bell, Miss Grace Bell Miss Jean
Ell iot, Miss Virginia Melvin, Miss Mildred Gilmore.

An article dated June 1912 tells about the eighth grade pupils graduating into
high school:

LARGEST CLASS
Roll of Eighth Grade Pupils Who Will Enter High School Largest in
History.
Merwin Promotes 96
The Four Honor Students in the Class Are All Girls--A "Last Day"
Program Given This Afternoon.
The largest freshman class which has ever entered the high
school will be promoted from the grammar grades today. Prof. C.
E. Merwin will send a class of ninety-six from Central school to
the high school building with the close of the second semester's
work this afternoon. This is the largest eighth grade in the
history of the Lawrence schools.
The race suicide in the University town to which the school
enumerator has attributed the persistent decrease in the census
enumerations for three or four years, has apparently not affected
the numerical strength of the higher classes. It is reducing the
number of pupils in the primary grades but the grammar and high
school registration continues to grow.
In Central building "last day" exercises were held this
afternoon. The annual visit was paid the building by members from
the G.A.R. post, who made t~e Memorial day addresses and retold
the story of the great national struggle of the sixties. In
addition to these lectures the pupils themselves gave the
following program:
Chorus, Welcome.
Chorus, Over Hill, Over Dale.
Recitation, "Sockery's Cat."--Ruth Ellis.
Recitation--Milford Pratt.
Composition, "Life in Russia."--Blanche Patterson.
Chorus, Trip Along Bright Feet of May.
ReCitation, "A Runaway Boy."--Geneva Hunter.
ReCitation, "The Roll Call ."--Georgia Richardson.
Recitation, "A Leak in the Dike."--Helen Brown.
CompOSition, "Corot."--Nellie Reese Evans.
Chorus, "I Know a Bank."
Recitation, "When the Green Gets Back in the Trees."--Kenneth
Clark.
Recitation, "When Cyrus Laid the Cable."--Albert Lynch.
Recitation, "My Oration."--John Senseman.
Compos it i on; "Hawa i i • "--Edna Anderson.
Song, "Tenting on the Old Camp Ground."
Recitation, "The After Glow."--Crystal Wagner.

Among the ninety-six graduates of the grammar grades this
year are four honor students. Prof. Merwin/s records show that
Maude Ell iott, Nell ie Evans, Blanche Patterson, and Una StocKwell
made "ones" in all the heavy studies on their course every· month
since promotion to the eighth grade. The scholastic honors are
held entirely by the girls in this year/s 1 ist of graduates, not a
single boy coming within the prescribed average which designates
an honor student.
Of the ninety-six who finished the common schools this
afternoon practically the entire number will enroll in the high
school next year.
Not only is the eighth grade class larger than any of its
predecessors, but it will send a higher percentage of its
membership into the higher institution. The class roll is as
follows:

My mother is very proud of the fact that she was a friend of Helen Naismith,
the daughter of the man who created basKetball. Here is a cl ipping dated
August 4, 1913:
Swimming Party
Miss Helen Naismith entertained with a swimming party this
morning in the University gymnasium. The girls spent a jolly half
hour in the pool and were served hot chocolate and sandwiches.
After their swim they went up in the gymnasium and played games
and danced. At noon alight luncheon was served. The guests were
Misses Lucile Cole, Ruth Adair, Marie Gray, Georgia Richardson,
Mandota Wise, Dorothy and Gertrude Koehring, Helen Winey, Mildred
Gilmore, Marguerite Reinishe, Ruth Ellis, Leta Ellison, Josephine
Morris, Lora Keeler, Frances Kennedy, Irene PicKard, Winifred
Ward, Matile Finch, Una StocKwell, Harriet Brush, Annette Fugate,
Lucile and Marion Edgar, Charlotte Morrison, Mary and Lucy
HacKman, Maude Woodard, Muriel Strong, Grace Green, Dorothy Bell, '
Louise Talbert, Irene Battaaile, Daisy Cox.

_~~~ to c_ome to Ca l~L ~&lt;?r:n~_!or rIl!_9_r~n~f~~~e~~ ~_~l_t~~____ __ _~ __ _ __

-The-following inforrna:tion--appeared-in several issues--o-f -The'
Connecticut Nutmegger in 1986:
BEWARE: We have been flooded with offers that our members have
received for their so-called "family history" already done for them.
In the past several years we have been warning our members about
BEATRICE BAYLEY and SHARON TAYLOR. Recently BEATRICE BAYLEY
has been closed down but has reopened under several names:
ELIZABETH ROSS of American ~enealogies, Inc. of Scranton, PA;
ANNE LOUISE BAKER of Computer Genealogies of Lansdale, PA;
MARY WHITNEY of Genealogy Room of Ottsville, PA., VICKI LEE
KARR; and ROOTS RESEARCH, LTD. out of New York.
Another scam is someone coming to your door to ask for pictures of
your parents and ancestors so they may publish them in a county
atlas which they will expect you to order and pay for in advance.
We have also learned that there is now a Genealogy Chain letter out.
Chain letters are frauds and therefore illegal. This one is only
selling a service but it is still illegal. Break the chain now!

MRS. TERRY, AGED 96 YEARS AND HER FAMOUS SPINNING mIEEL
,Mrs. Elizabeth COLE TERRY of Lawrence, Kansas, celebrated her 96th birthday Saturday, Nov. 10, 1906.
Mrs. TERRY was born Nov. 10, 1810 in Putnam county, New York, where she spent her childhood. In 1831 she
was married to John TERRY. They settled in northern Ohio and lived there until five children were grown.
Mr. TERRY died in 1859. Mrs. TERRY came to Lawrence in 1869 and since then has made her home with her
daughter, Mrs. Cecilia TOWNE. She has been a member of the Baptist Church for eighty years, but of late
has been unable to attend services. She is in possession of all her faculties and is a most interesting
conversationalist. She becomes quite animated when the subject of spinning is mentioned and it is one of
her chief delights to tell of the contests-"in which she participated in the days gone by. She was the
I
champion spinner in all the country around her old home. She is quite proud of her age and considers any
one young who may be eighty o·r thereabouts. Up to the last year or so, she made quite difficult fancy
work of various kinds.
She is the mother of five children: Mrs. Cecilia TOWNE of Lawrence, John M. TERRY, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, I
and I.C. TERRY, Monroe, Louisiana. &gt;Two are not living. She has ten grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren.

EUDORA
A correspondent of the Topeka Capital gives the following interesting
facts about our flourishing little neighbor at the mouth of the Wakarusa:
This place is situated at the mouth of the Wakarusa river, seven miles
east of Lawrence, on the line of the A.T.&amp; S.F.R.R., in Douglas county.
This place was laid out about five years ago by a German company from
Chicago, Illinois. It has a special charter as a city, granted by the
Territorial Legislature, under which, it has acted ever since. It elects
its mayor, council, marshal and other officers annually on the first
Monday in March.
The city covers 840 acres of land, and has a population of about 800,
principally Germans. We have five churches, two school houses, a flourishing mill and elevator; three general stores, besides two or three grocery
grocery stores, two drug stores, two hardward and tin shops, three hotels,
a lumber yard, two harness shops, an Odd Fellows' building, temperance
tabernacle, city hall, three cabinet shops, two boot and shoe shops, two
wagon shops, three blacksmith shops, carpenter shops, restaurants, barber
shop, three lodges of Odd Fellows and ~~sons, two or three doctors, and
about the same number of lawyers.
There is considerable improvement being made for this season of the
year. Several good dwellings are being built and others repaired. Our
brick schoolhouse is nearly completed and ready for use. The old schobl
building is too small to accommodate the scholars of the place. We have
an excellent school this winter under the management of Prof. J.C. BANTA,
as principal, and Miss FARR and Miss RAYSON assistants.
The German Episcopal Methodists have built them a very fine church
this season at a cost of about $3,000, which is a valuable improvement to
the place and speaks well for the congregation, it being small in number.
Rev .. Daniel WALTER, their pastor, is entitled to great credit for his untiring efforts and zeal in behalf of his church. They are now holding
protracted meetings and are having quite a revival.
There is considerable property changing hands, both in the town and
surrounding country, at good prices. Every building in the place is
occupied and rents are high.
Although crops were short, farmers say they realize about as much
money for their produce· as they usually do other years. l-Jheat never '.
looked better at this season of the year. There was a greater acreage of
wheat sown last fall than any previous year in this section of the country.
The prohibitory law is pretty generally observed here. There is but
one place that the law is openly violated, and there it is said that
they sell beer only. Prosecutions have already been instituted; and more
will be, to abate the nuisance and punish the offender, and there is but
little doubt that the guilty party will have to atone to the offended iaw
and close up shop.

After Quantrill burned the Morgan
home in Lawrence, Mr. Morgan bought
some hills that were covered with
Jack Oak trees and had springs in
the foot hills.
This farm was in
the northeast part of Grant Township,
near
the
Leavenworth
County
line.
He built his house between two springs.
The house was made mostly of native
lumber, Walnut Clapboards, Hackberry
floors,
and a
large fireplace
in
the
long kitchen.
This house was
built by Horace Hancock,
an early
day carpenter in Lawrence.

ANNA MORGAN WARD
1857 - 1952

In the spring of 1864 we left the place where father had built
his cabin home just ten years before. I remember the round stone
barn that was near our house, it was perfectly round, was bui 1. t
for dairy purposes. Some one has said it was an octagon but that
is a mistake. The new- owner might have changed it to an octagon
;after: we left it, but not before. We crossed the river on a ferry
jjoa-t~- as at that time there was no. bridge across the river. We went
through' the timber in North Lawrence, came out· in the clear at the
edge of Bismarck Grove.
There were some shanties at the edge of the grove, where colored
people lived. These shanties were the only signs of habitation that
we could see. We angled across the country,a little more north than
east. There were no roads to help our progress nor fences to hinder
us. We passed through two sloughs and came out on higher ground
just
south
of Mud Creek.
This land was still
of
-.
.
.
"
. Indian land. . Some
;,-"---- -...:::; ,
thIS ground had been stIrred up In places; thIS was where the raIlr6ad:~:
had evidently been surveyed. It was to go across the Robirisonfa'-rm-'
in a northwest, more west than north, course. The railroad later
. changed plans and went through Lawrence. We finally reached the
ford across Mud Creek which father had made. We crossed over and
were on our ground.

�The house was not qui te ready for us so mother, brother,
J. F. and myself went to the J. P. Whitney home to stay a
few days. The Whitney home was about one half mile from
our house. It did not take us long to get settled!in our:
home as much of our worldly goods had burned with our house'~­
A few necessities were added as we needed them. I remember
the first coal oi 1 lamp father brought home, it was a real
thrill for us. It was a tall slim_ l?mp, a pretty green base
tapering up to the bowl which l hele! about on-half pint of
oi 1. We sti 11 used some candles----:- Mother made our candles
for a long time, but now we could buy them at the grocery
store. Our pioneer days were over, ..
II In
the early 60' s, and before Quantrill's raid, David
Miller settled on Mud Creek near the Leavenworth County
line, just south of the J.P. Whitney home. Miller evidently
bought his land from the Indians. There have been several
generations of Millers on this same farm, and their children
have attended Oakridge School.

Just west and joining the Miller farm is the farm William
Stiner bought from the Indians in the early 60' s. William,
the youngest son of the Stiners is still living there. The
Stiner farm is joined on the west by the southeast part
of the Robinson section. In this corner of the Robinson
farm is a tenement house. The Eli Mercer family if the first
family that I know of living there. They had several children
in the school.
The Mercer family lived in the district
for many years, and on different farms. A number of families
have lived in this same corner. For the last few years it
has been the home of Will Hayden: and is known as Hayden's
corner.
South of Hayden's corner, is 40 acres of land which was
purchased by Edward W. l'-10rgan in 1867. This land was part
of the Jim Lane estate and was sold by Capt. Strong, agent.
The south part of this 40 was slough. I remember helping
my brothers plant sod corn in that s~ough in 1867. Mr. Morgan
did not keep this land very long. i The:· south part was sold
to one party. The north part was later sold to Scott Wood.
Some of the Wood heirs still live on the place.
West of [the] Charlie Wood home is the farm where Joseph
E. Garrett settled in the 60' s. The Stiners and Garretts
were rel~ted. The Garretts had two boys, the youngest boy,
Ed Garrett lives on the place.
West of the Garrett farm is the Ed. Pine place. The Pines
are old settlers of the community north of Lawrence. I,

,more or less.
Here a stone schoolhouse about 15 ,by 27 feet was ,built and continued in use with only mi!1or
changes or additions for the entire life of the district. It had a small belfry which was later removed
,md the bell sold to Jesse Sutton who still bas it in his possession. At some time a clo~-room 'Was
added to the nonh of the entrance door, but otherw~ it remained with its exterior just as it 'Was
originally built. The stone chimney was erected at the back end and from the ground, oli the
outside of the building. The walls are about two feet thick and the twelve-foot ceiling arches,
above the living-room of the present owners. It had only two' win&lt;Jqws on each side and a siI,gle
solid door in the front with transom above for ventilation, and a hirge rock for a stoop below, ~t.
Inside were three rows of desks; double ones in the center and single ones along the outsides.
\' The first available records revealed a contract dated Aug. 2, 1897, between Lizz.ie Postma and !
J. H. Bachelor director. and Fred Web~r clerk, of District ,No. 13, retaining Miss:fostmll as

It'appears from the clerk's report at the'end of the term in 1898;that there were 25 pupils, but
he listed only 17 as of school age on the school census. This could mean anyone of several different things: one, that there were at least 8 of school age whoSe names he failed to obtain; two,
'thllt he had transposed the figures "17" and "25",; and three, that there were 8 above school
age who attended school. Which is correct no one will probably ever lmow:but the writer is
inclined toward number three as the solution.
"

The names given on the 1898 census are: Grace BACHELOR; Alma, Minnie Ems arid
H!mlan BEHRENS;, Maud; Marion' and Alvin BOND;· Karl DA VIS; Oral and RUssell

COLIDfBIA NO. 67
Though some kind of school may have existed here at an earlier date,
a building site was acquired September,l, l87l.from Stephen and Susannah
STUDEBAKER. The first board was Thomas WARNE, Jacob }IDRPHY and Edward
JONES. The school was names Rocky Mountain School, District No. 67. This
small frame building served the district until about 1893. The first

Salaries ranged from $30.00 to $40.00 per month. An item on the
books reads, "to Sarah FUSSELL for boarding teacher ... $10.00,~' indicates
that the teachers "board was paid by the district in addition to the salary.
In 1893, George and Dora MARKLEY sold the district a parcel of land
about 1/2 mile west of the original site. The old building was moved to
the George MARKLEY farm by horses where it became a part of his house,
still with belfry and bell on top. The property is now the William RICE
farm where the house stands.
Since the district was to have a new schoolhouse in a new location,
it was decided to give it a new name also. Columbia was chosen since 1892

The new building was larger than the old one. The belfry was not
added until 1913. Myra FITZ was the first teacher in the new building.

.
Teachers from 1900 to 1910 were Rella HOUDYSHEL, Minnie KENNEDY,
again Artis METSKER, Alice HAMMOND, Nannie CLEVELAND, Rose NEAL, Ella WHITE,
Alice HYATT and E.G. SMITH. School board members were: Wm. CHURCHBAUGH,

ANDERSON, Mary SANDERS, Lottie ANDERSON, Lottie THURBER, and Agnes STEVENS.
Board members were: S.J. MARKLEY, E.H. SANDERS, and Charles BROHAMMER.
The 1930's·continued with Grace Agnes STEVENS, Sylvia SHULER, Vera
WARD, Lillian ROBBINS and Freida ROTHCHILD. Board members wereS.J. MARKLEY,
Mrs. John BROHAMMER and Charles BROHAMMER.
The 1940's began with Freida ROTHCHILD, Doris WEIBLE, Florence L.
GUGIN, Blake D. MILLER. In 1948 the district was disorganized and the
property attached to districts 38, 47 and 51 under the direction of County
Superintendent Margaret HURLEY. The schoolhouse was sold and dismantled.
The school district held literary society meetings for its young
people. It had a constitution but no name. A meeting was scheduled on
January 2, 1894 to fully organize the society.

Kept His Secret

I

Died, at the poor farm, on Sunday evening, January 15, at 6 o'clock,
Mr. Henry VAUSBAUGH. He was taken there from Willow Springs township,
June 26. He was born in New York, and was thirty years of age. Mr.
VAUSBAUGH had the secret of some great crime which he wanted to reveal,
but he wanted to tell it with his last breath. He sent for the superintendent several times, but kept putting it off until he could,not speak.
This secret, if it had been revealed, might have been the means of releasing some poor prisoner of an imputation which he was or is doomed to bear,
or which possibly had consigned some innocent person to a premature and
dishonored end.

, Western Home Journal, Lawrence, Ks., March 2, 1882
'Death'of an Old Settler
Last Wednesday night at about 9 o'clock Mr. Gus O'DELL died on his
farm near Vinland. He was one of the earliest settlers in Lawrence,
having come to Kansas twenty-five years ago and has always been one of
our best farmers, respected by all who knew him. He was a member of
,Vinland Grange, and took an active part in its work. At the time of
his death he was fifty-five years old. He leaves a wife and five children.
His funeral will take place to-day and his remains will be taken to Oak

Hesper, Kas., Dec. 26, 1881
S.H. DAVIS, the Hesper teacher is on his pegs again.
The Quakers have their new meeting house nearly completed.
The HILLS have put a new roof on their stone dwelling
N.HENSHAW has been fencing out dogs from his sheep. We learn he
has lost seven fine grade Cotswold lambs this fall by the curs. F.M. CLARKE
had nearly a dozen killed last spring by the dogs. He became disgusted and
quit the sheep business, but not until he had slain thirteen dogs.
Hon. Levi WOODARD; of Lawrence, has sold his fine farm, one mile north
of Hesper, to A. HADLEY, late of Ohio. We lived in hopes of having Levi
with us again, but now give it up.
The FOGLES have moved onto their farm, the John CAMPBELL place, and
are making it look as if the widow had gone awa·y.
p
couldn't look better.

This alphabetized list of names has been compiled from an in-depth sociological study, written
by Steve JANSEN when he was a student at the University of Kansas, titled Kanwaka Township of
Eastern Kansas, 1860-1885. One of the questions studied involved the length of time the early settlers stayed on the land. This was determined from the figures on the Federal census of 1860 plus
subsequent Kansas censuses of 1865, 1875 and 1885. Only those names which appeared on at least two
census schedules are included here. The full length study and the complete census figures for this
period for Kanwaka Township are available at the Watkins Community Museum.

In 1957, Zoe Dentler Thompson
Brant wrote a historical novel
(based
on
fact)
about
her
ancestors, the Dodder, Simmons
and Thompson families of Marion
township,
Douglas
County,
Kansas. The book is called,
The Hill or Simmons Point. 1
She explains in the book
that the Dodders and Simmons
were
some
of
the
earliest
settlers in Marion township.
In
fact,
Peter
Dodder 2 and
three friends, George Shobert,
James Baker and Samuel Hayes
were the first white men to
stake their claim at Lapeer
in 1855.
Lapeer,
now
extinct,
was
situated near the headwaters
of Rock Creek and was named
for a town of the same name
in
Michigan.
Peter
Dodder
built his shanty on an old
road which ran north of the
Old Santa Fe Trail. Nearby,
in 1856, the Butterfield Stage
Coach company was established.
Enterprising
Peter
Dodder
recognized the need for an
"eating house." So, he and his
daughter, Elmira Dodder Simmons
began selling coffee and flapjacks
from
his
shanty
and
were soon doing a profitable
business.
Before Elmira Dodder arrived
in. Kansas to be with her father,
she had married Phillip Simmons
in Michigan.

born to his parents. After Phillip's father died, his mother
married a Mr. Roy and they came to Kansas. In 1858, Phillip
Simmons filed a claim in Osage County, Kansas, but soonafter
sold this claim and went north to Canada and Michigan, where
he met his bride-to-be. After the Civil War, the couple settled
in a house in Marion township at a place called, The Hill or
Simmons Point.
This interesting novel spans the period from the territorial

MODEL DISTRICT NO. 83

; When DistrictNo. 83 was being organized it was found that there was not enough valuation I
. within its proposed boundaries to yield sufficient taxes to support a school, so J.M. Shepherd, I
owner of the N.E. 1/4 of Sec. 22, T. 13, R. 19, adjoining, had part of his land set over into Model
I District in order to increase their valuation enough to have a district.
! The deed to the building site was drawn June 3, 1895, by Thomas and Sarah Pugh in favor of '
School District No. 83 for 1 3-20ths of an acre of land. A slight error in the legal description
necessitated the drawing of a second deed August 2, to correct this. As corrected the legal
description read: "Beginning ata stake 45 rods East of the Southwest comer of the S.E. 1/4 of '
,Sec. 16, T.13, R. 19, East of the P.M., thence running East 16 rods, thence North 111/2 rods, .
thence West 16 rods, thence South 111/2 rods to place of beginning.'
.
\ On this l'lot a frame sc_h~lh9use _w~th ~a belfry, w~ erected ~ ~ 189~, and the first term of '
school began in the fall of 1896. Noah Pugh, then six years old, started to school in the new:
schoolhouse where his first two teachers were John Akers and Ed S~epp. Mr. Pugh distinctly i
remembers also the old double desks and seats where the pupils sat and studied without regard as '
. to whether their legs were long enough so that their feet would reach the floor or dangled all day :
, in mid-air. The big bell rang every morning at 8: 30 as a warning to those who dawdled, to hustle!
a little faster in order to reach the schoolhouse by 9 0' clock.
i
Model School, now a home for the Albert Lynch family, was located about two and one-half:
miles west of U.S. Highway No. 59 on the north side of the black-top road to Ointon, and had a i
sizeable pond or lake nearby, that furnished fine skating in winter. Both old and young of the I
,community were very much at home on skates, and many skating parties were arranged for I
enjoyment on the smooth surface of this lake whenever the ice was safe.
'
, An entertainment common at one time in this and other rural neighborhoods, was the Punch I
: and Judy Show, put on by a professional ventriloquist who traveled through the country, making
: all the rural schools. Having secured permission from the board to use the schoolhouse, he would
: advertise his show by asking permission of the teacher to give the children a free ten-minute show
i in the late afternoon of show day. By a few sleight-of-hand tricks and the use of the two dummies, .
Punch and Judy, he would so fire the enthusiasm of the youngsters as to be very sure that they:
, and their families would appear for the evening show, which was of course, not free.
!
The schoolhouse as usual, was the community center, where the literary society met and all the '
dinners, box and pie suppers were held. Whenever anything at all was going on at the
&lt;schoolhouse, no one stayed at home.
.
, The 1897 -98 term was taught by Ed B. Shepp whose monthly salary was $30.00 and enrollment
,35. Total operating expense for the term was $238.25 with board members J. Ulrich, A. E. :
I Martin and J. J. Tobler. Names of those of school age in 1898 were: Fred ALLEN; Charles,
Jackie, Bessie and Mildred BOWEN; Alva CARR; Jennie and Ella ELUOTT; Clarence, Anna'
I and Albert HASTIE; Liberty, Ed and Fred HILL; George LOWN; Jessie and Mattie MAN-:

: During this period, the treasurer's records reveal that new seats were purchased in 1917 for a I
;total cost of $214.38.ln 1918-19 the belfry was repaired. R.E. Standing did the carpenter work, :
:).W. Jaedicke sold the screening necessary to keep out bees and wasps, and Grayson &amp; Reinisch .
:did the tin work. At this time the school was still using a combination of wood and coal for fuel. i
· Teachers of the 1920's were Kathryn McCaffrey, Florence Oaxton, Hazel Charles, Edna I
Eberwein, and Alta Murray who taught the term ending in 1930 with a monthly salary of,
: $100.00 and enrollment of 33. Total operating expense for the term was $1117.31 and board:
members, AlL. Holcom, Chas. E. Banning and George Lown.
The district purchased a used piano in 1922 for $117.60, but the big improvement was the
excavation. of ~ basement under the entire schoolhouse, in order to install a furnace. This project I
\ cost the distrlct almost $ 7 0 0 . 0 0 . '
I
\ Alta Murray was the first teacher in the 1930's (4 terms), followed by Frances Metcalfe (5,
lterms) , Mildred Petrie, and Mildred S. Ross who tau2htthe term ending in 1940. Board
:members of that date were A.E. Holcom, Thomas Pugh and Gee. Lown-.'

transported there. In 1948, the district asked Pleasant Valley No. 14 to take No. 83 into their
,district. This was accomplished and District No. 83 was annexed to District No. 14 by County.
Superintendent Margaret Hurley. The combined districts then known as "New" District No.
i14, sold the old Model schoolhouse to Harry Richardson, Jr., for the sum of $1025.00.

SHOT
Last Friday afternoon little Willie MEARES aged thirteen, and his brother
Eddie, aged twelve, who live on the place of their mother, Mrs. William
MEARES about four miles south of town, went hunting for rabbits, and coming
suddenly upon one Eddie became excited, and looking straight at the rabbit
but pointing his gun at Willie pulled the trigger and sent a charge of shot
into the little fellow's thigh. Others being near the wounded boy '{o]as
taken home and Dr. MOTTRAM called who dressed his wounds and left him in
comfortable a condition as possible under the circumstances. The doctor
says that if the shot had entered the inside of the thigh instead of the
outside the wound would have been fatal. As it is it will be very painful
and take a good while to heal, but it is not at all dangerous._ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .-lI

�BEST TIME EVER
"PAST 75" PICNIC AT WOODLAND
PARK ENJOYED· BY A GREAT
MANY VISITORS.
Afternoon Was informaL
One Heat of a Horse Race Was Pulled Off, There Was Fiddling
and Singing and Visiting and Picture Taking.
It was thought the limit of enjoyment at Woodland park had been
reached with the children's picnic last week, but this proved not to be
the case. There was absolute joy with the "Past 75" picnic held there
yesterday afternoon. The joy of anticipation was as great as that of
realization, and the preparation·for the event impressed everyone with
the strong feature that made the occasion such a huge success--the perfect
delight of those who were invited to take part.
There wasn't much going on at the park~not nearly as much as there
will be next year when the· event is repeated--but the gathering under the
great old trees, with their carpets of splendid verdure, where the breezes
always blow, was enough to make the event enjoyable. The guests gathered
and visited; gathered even as the children, before the hour set; and
visited as hard as the children played. Then all gathered in the auditorium, where there was some old time fiddling by Captain J.M. SPENCER
that made others gathered suggest that a. sort of an old fiddlers program
would be an interesting feature another year; there was some singing, too,
led by Miss Olivia OLSSON.
Then the crowd separated and visited some more, the greater number
going to the race track seats to watch a heat or two of a horse race that
had been promised. There was an annoying wait, as the horse men were
quarreling among themselves about making the race, although they finally
emerged from the stables and drove a hap-hazard heat around the track.
Then all assembled for the photograph that was to be taken by Lawrence.
In the contest for the five-pound box of candy for the spryest of
the guests, age considered George KIMBALL and Mrs. Charles PEASE won.
There was lots of good lemonade for the visitors, who just had to walk
up and show their badges, and get all they wanted, whenever they wanted
it. It was a great afternoon, and was worth while.

FRANCISCO LIVERY SOLD
S.C. BYBEE of Garnett, Assumes.
Charge January 1.

The FRANCISCO livery barns at 808-10-12 Vermont street, one of the
largest of the kind in the city, was sold this morning to Mr. S.C. BYBEE
of Garnett, Kansas, who will assume charge as owner with the opening of
another year.
Negotiations for the sale of the property have been going on for some;
time, but always some hitch occurred until the final consummation of the
deal this morning. Mr. FRANCISCO has been in business several years and
has made a big success of it. Whehheassumed charge several years ago
the business was run down more or less, but he has built up and added
until now the barn and business is the largest of its kind in the city.
Mr. BYBEE, although not assuming absolute charge, will remain here until
January next, and will thoroughly familiarize himself with the business
and at the same time become acquainted with his Lawrence trade. He is a
married man with a family and will move here some time after the opening
of next year.
Mr. FRANCISCO has not definitely decided upon his future course of
action, but will remain here at least until after the barn has passed
out of his control .

Territory of Kansas, Douglas County, ss:
To the commissioner of claims under act of the
assembly of Kansas, approved February 7, 1859,
at Lawrence, March A.D. 1859.

legislative
in session

Your petitioner, E.A. COLEMAN, respectfully shows that
he is and since the 27th day of October, A.d. 1854, has been
a citizen of Douglas county and Terri tory of Kansas. That
during the troubles and disorder that prevailed in said Territory between the 1st day of November, 1855, and 1st day
of ' December, 1856, and in consequence thereof, he lost and
had stolen and taken ~way of his goods and chattels the property mentioned in the lahnexed schedule, at the time and in the
manner therein stated, which schedule is annexed to and made
a part of this petition, for which property he has never received any compensation whatever.
He further alleges that .about the 1st day of September,
and for several weeks thereafter, armed bands of men were
infesting said county and the neighborhood of petitioner,
and he, with others of his neighbors, was driven away from
his home and unable to save his crops, and thereby the crops
mentioned in said schedule were totally lost and destroyed.
He further alleges that his occupation at that time was
that of a teamster, which was entirely broken up by said loss
of his team, to his damage $50, as set forth in said schedule.
Wherefore he prays your honors to audit and cerfi fy said
losses, amounting to $574 in all, and the interest thereon
from said 1st day of September, A.D. 1856, as damages resulting
from said loss, and to award him certificate therefor.
E.A. COLEMAN
Sworn to and signed before me this 16th day of March, A. D.

�AN INFORMAL HISTORY OF SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 22,
WASHINGTON CREEK SCHOOL.
By
ELIZABETH K. DUNN
The first school building was a log cabin, in the 1850's. In 1860,
Darwin E. BOWEN received a patent from President James BUCHANAN and it was
from the southwest corner· of this quarter section that he and his wife,
Sarah A. BOWEN, on June 24, 1863, deeded an acre of land to District 22
to be used for school purposes. The school. board members at that time
were: Joseph LOVELACE, Sylvester CREEL, and Darwin E. BOWEN.
On this site a stone 'school house took the place of the old log one.
This school house served the district for 60 years. A frame building to
replace the stone building was built in 1898. The clerk's annual report
for the school year, 1897-1898, carried only the surnames of those of
school age: ATTIC, BOYD, BOWEN, BOND, CREEL~ DARNOLD, HASTIE, HYRE,
LONGANECKER, PARNERLL, ULRICH, SUTORS, MATNEY, DUNN, EVANS, MARKLEY,
McKAY, and HALVERT.
I, Elizabeth DUNN, attended Washington Creek School from 1916-1924.
Some of my teachers were Edith STRONG, Mary LANDON, Lola WILBUR, Mary
A. NORRIS, Mary Leone ISAACS, Alice McTAGGART. Some of the school board
members were: Hugo SCHELLHORN, O.P. McNEES, G.E. MARTIN, J.W. BANKS,
and D.E. BOND. Some of my classmates during those years were: Inez BOWEN,
Neal BANKS, Winston McNEES, Inez MOHLER, Earl MARTIN, Venita BOND, Esta
LONGANECKER. I thoroughly enjoyed school and looked forward each September
for the year to begin. I enjoyed all the programs, the pie suppers, the
last day of school picnics. I t was a happy time in my life.
The social life of this community, Washington Creek School, was always
an active one, with entire families involved in programs, parties, basket
lunches and dinners. The 300 volume library was also in constant use.
The disorganization of the district was June 24, 1959, when District
22 became part of the Wakarusa Valley District No. 98. The personal
property of the district was sold, the large bell becoming the property
of Mr. and Mrs. George BERG, and in the fall of 1984 was sold to Jane
WIGGINS. The school house burned after being a rental property for some
years.
Note: Part of this.information was' taken from: RURAL SCHOOLS AND SCHOOLHOUSES OF DOUGLAS COUNTY, KANSAS, by Goldie PIPER DANIELS.

Lawrence Daily Gazette
December 4, 1884
24 years ago Mr. Thaddeus FISH, now a resident of Grant township, in
this county, declared that he would not be shaved till a Democrat was
elected president of the United States. He has faithfully kept his pledge
till to-day, when he came into the city and indulged in the luxury of a
first-class shave at Frank WILLIARD's. Mr. FISH is 73 years of age, and
like millions of other good citizens, feels happy over the election of
CLEVELAND. Our friend, Ed~ CANOVAN, accompanied Mr. FISK in pursuit of
a good democratic shave, and was master of ceremonies.

Death of Jason MOORE

I

Mr. Jason MOORE, one of the oldest and most respected colored citizens
of Lawrence, died at his home at 285 Lake street, North Lawrence, yesterday
evening. Besides being a member of the North Lawrence Baptist church, Mr.
MOORE held a membership in several fraternal societies. The funeral notice
will be given later.

Fred LAPTAD A Winner
Fred LAPTAD was a winner at the Topeka state fair this week on the
yellow dent corn, raised this year on his Grant township farm. He got
several first prizes and made one of the best corn showings made at the
fair. It was a demonstration, too, that there is corn in Kansas this
year that is fine enough to take the blue ribbon prizes .at the fairs.

.' '.:' WINTER DIST. NO. 70.,
I

i The first known school in this community was held in a little two~room frame house, one room
above the other, located on the R. T. Richards farm, about one and three-fourths miles north of
Kanwaka Corner on U. S. Highway 40. This was not an organized school, and probably main'tained by subscriptions, with the top floor used to house the teacher. When no longer needed for a
;school, this little house was moved to a different location on the farm and used by the Richards as
. a dwelling, being enlarged as needs of the growtng family dictated. .
The actualorganiz.cition of District No. 70 as shown in the earliest district record, reads as
follows: "The legal voters of School District No. 70 of Douglas County, met, pursuant to notice
of the County Superintendent on the Sth day of June, 1869, and proceeded to organize by calling
, J. A. Kelly to the chair. On motion, R. T. Richards was elected director of said district, J. A.
: Kelly was elected clerk, and C. F. Deskins treasurer of said district. Meeting then adjourned."
M. S. Winter donated an acre of land on which a stone schoolhouse was built in 1870, and this
.!tale (stat~ent by_ Qlas. ~in!f!)'_d~t~ed tJ1e_!1_~J&gt;~ "70" _gi_V~!O .Yt~ .4is~rkt.!- ______,
On June 3-, 1871, a special meeting voted to increase the size' of the-sehoolgrounds by buying i
. from Mr. Winter an additional three-fourths acre adjoining the acre already donated. This was
legalized when on July 11, 1871, Matthias S. Winter and Mary E. Winter, his wife, for the sum
of $15.00 gave a warranty deed to District No. 70, for this parcel of land located in the Southeast
, corner of theS.W. 1j4 of Sec. 13, T.12, R. 18, same being recorded the next day.
The first annual school meeting was held March 30, 1871, resulting in the election of S. M. ,
Sedgwick, director, M.S. Winter, clerk, and R.T. Richards, treasurer. School was to be held for
three months in the summer with a female teacher, and four months in the winter, sex of teacher
,optional with the board. A tax of three-eighths of one percent for the teacher, and one-eighth of
one percent for incidentals, was voted. The meeting also instructed the board that in hiring a
teacher, the contract should be that the teacher be obliged to stay with the children at recess and
,during intermission at noon.
Like many rural schools in early times, no well was put down for years after the schoolhouse was
: built, the older boys carrying drinking water from a spring across the road southeast of the school.
i Not until 1906 did the district dig a well on the grounds.
i The first term of school was held from May to July 21, 1871, with Alice Colman as teacher.
I The pupils were Nancy, Arminda and Mary BLANKENSHIP; Laura, Maggie and Elmer
IBURCH; Annie DONAHUE; Huldah, Susie, Lizzie and Willie DESKINS; Geo., Mildred and
I'Margaret ANDERSON; Mary, Annie and James HAMILTON; Ella HAGAN; Hattie and
,Joseph MONTGOMERY; Mary, Leora, Milton, Thomas and George WINTER; Perry and
lJ:larll WQIHHINGTON.

�Since the summer term usually-taught onlygirls and small boys, it was customary to hire female
teachers. The winter term of four months accommodated the older boys and girls and such
younger ones as could battle the bad weather and roads. So for this, a male teacher was usually
, selected as being better able to cope with the rigors of the elements as well as the disciplinary
:.~
problems which frequently arose among the older boys.
The social side of life here was not neglected. The Community Oub held monthly meetings in
, the schoolhouse and provided entertainment in the form of dialogue:; and plays, followed by the
spelling bee which was inevitably featured.
.'
For this bee, two captains were selected, and they then proceeded to choose sides, selecting the
, best spellers first of course. This continued until all present had been chosen, old and young. As
, their names were called they took their places by their respective captains in tw(' lines on opposite
, sides of the room facing each other. The person to pronounce the words (usually the teacher)
, armed himself with a speller and the serious business of spelling down, began. When a speller
" misspelled a word he took his seat, until as the ranks thinned to two contestants, the mounting
tension could almost be sliced. Upon the ability of one of these two, rested the championship of
the evening.
! Tax-payers in the district in 1874, were Thos. Anderson, John Anderson, Wm. Anderson, Eli
,Barnes, Elias Chris, C.F. Deskins, Wm. Donahue, Daniel Freeman, Henry C. Howlett, ].S.
'Kelly, Wm. McCarty, R.T. Richards, Henry Rodgers, Julia B. Sumner, ].T. Cummings, M.S.
Winter, W.H.T. Wakefield and Chas. Worthington.
At this time schools were not graded except as pupils were grouped into primary, intermediate
and grammar grades.
I Teachers' records between the years 1877 and 1887 are missing, but from treasurer's books the
! names of these teachers are revealed: E.M. Emmett, Eliza Emmett, George Draper, S.E.
: Winrick, Alice Ingersoll, Dora Patten, Myra Fitz and C.R. Wenrich. '.
.
: Academic requirements for teaching in rural schools at that time were not high but one of the
prime requirements was a teacher's ability to "keep order," and sometimes this factor alone :
.

In 1885, Beattie Armstrong was paid $13.05 to point up the schoolhouse, which involved
,repairing the crumbling mortar between the stones. This was before the days .()f Por:tland cement,. :

, In 1898 the district board consisted of M. R. Winter, Geo. T. Richards and Fred Deskins. The'
: teacher, Mr. E. E. Houdyshell, received a salary of $25.00 per month and total expenditure for;

, ~A~ mandate was giventhe'board to" hire~an -expenenced teacher, which would seem to indicate'
that most of the previous teachers may have been inexperienced. If such was the case, it might tie
". .~: ,':,-~". .
in with the story in the next paragraph:."
In early years of the district a small woman had worked a bluff on the teachers to the point of
. once bringing a ball bat with her when visiting the school, in order to emphasize her ideas as to
, how the school should be conducted. There came a year finally, when things were to be different,
and matters were brought to a head when one of this parent's offspring defied the teaclierand
received a shaking therefor. This teacher, however, proved to be experienced and the game of .
I bluff was finished. Thereafter baseball bats were used only for the purpose originally intended.
Other improvements made during this period were an anteroom built on the front, with shelves
installed for dinner buckets, slate blackboards purchased, an eight-foot United States flag bought
and chains to replace the old ropes used for the swings. The term ending in 1920 was the first
: eight-months' one for this school. Board members were C. J. Banks, R. E. Schroyer and M.
Shelly.
Teachers of the 1920's were Lenora Schroyer, Christeen Schroyer, Lawrence Journey, Rose
Dews (Wymer), and Dorothy Elliott, whose monthly salary was $91.00 for teaching the 15
pupils. Board members were Newt. Hamlin, C. B. Winter and Willis Coleman. Total expenditure'
for the term was $1245.66.
' " , '
.
: The teachers in the 1930's were Dorothy Elliott, Kathryn McCaHrey; Mrs. Ruth Sa~er,
Alice Mitchell, Mary Sanford and Edna Reekie. Board members of 1940 were J. Elmer Shields, .
C. B. Winter and Willis R. Coleman. Twelve pupils were enrolled.
After 1940, Ruth Bertsinger, Roberta Swearing, Anna Hubbard, Vesta Bahnmaier and Emma
Petefish, brought teaching in Winter School to an end in the terin ending in 1946. The school
." :-;as clo~d~iii'ilie-next two iears,°ind in i~i49. 'thediStrict~as ~d1Sorgaruze«(aild -tlleproperty"1
distributed among districts 14, 36 and 40.
. .
. '.
:!
When this was done, schoolhouse and grounds were turned over to the Winter Community I
Club which some years later distributed the equipment among its members and sold the building!
and grounds to Max McClure who owiled the surrounding farm. He, in turn,' finally sold the'
property to Jerry Smith, a car dealer in Kansas City who tried to preserve it 'as a: museum and
1 offered its use to Boy Scouts and other like groups. Eventually it fell a victim of vandals and decay
and now stands on the prairie a forlorn reminder of better days. Its large bell was broken and
destroyed when persons unknown attempted to steal it.

The Winter School Preservation Inc., a non-profit corporation
was recently formed by members of the WINTER family and friends to
renovate Winter School.
Sen. Wint WINTER, Jr., the great-great grandson of Mathias S.
and Mary E. WINTER who donated the land for the school was elected
president.
The gvoup decided to restore the school to its condition in
the 1920's~which means no running water and no electricity. The
work will probably start this fall and may take about a year to
complete.' The Quilding would be open by appointment to visitors
and to classes from area schools.

Death has entered our ranks and his icy touch has stopped the beating
of two hearts. Youth, beauty, wealth, power have naught to charm away his
coming. "With his sickle keen He reaps the bearded grain at a breath,
and the flowers that grow between."
Willie ALBRITON (colored), aged nine years and ten months, died of
La Grippe, on the morning of Feb. 16.
Willie was a bright and promising little boy, and his death, so
unexpected, seems sad and untimely. He was a pupil of the First Primary
where he will be greatly missed by his teacher and schoolmates.
Nellie HAWLEY, aged fourteen ,years, died Feb. 22, at 12 o'clock.
Nellie was a member of the Seventh Grade and was respected and loved by
teacher and schoolmates. Sad indeed is it to record this early passing
away of so beautiful and so promising a life. It "adds one more to the
inexplicable mysteries of Providence that perplex us here." No., we do
not, cannot understand His ways, for "Now we see as through a glass
darkly;" but there will come a time when it will be made plain to us,
and we will rejoice in the love ofa just God who doeth all things well.

IN MEMORY OF NELLIE HAWLEY
-Edith DIXONDear Nell, you have gone and left us,
And we all do miss you so;
But we hope sometime you will meet us,
Where we all now.hope to go.
And won't you be waiting, Nellie,
At the beautiful golden gates,
To welcome us into glory
Who once were your old schoolmates?
And we will ever remember
Theone with whom we played,
When the flowers were in the blossom,
And the grass was in the blade.
As we study and work at our lessons,
We think of you often, Nell,
And the days you assembled with us,
To learn to figure and spell.
You will see no more sorrow and trouble,
But ever with angels shall dwell,
While we are awaiting the morning
When we shall bid the world farewell.

MRS. JENKINS' NINETIETH BIRTHDAY
Spending her days in peaceful quiet in the town in which she witnessed the great tragedy of her life, is Mrs. Gaius JENKINS, the widow
of the man who was shot by James H. LANE, while Lawrence was still
scarcely a town, Mrs. JENKINS celebrated her ninetieth birthday last
Friday at her home at 1617 Kentucky street, where she lives with a
daughter, 'Mrs. M.E. WILDER. Mr. and Mrs. C.L. EDWARDS and Mrs. O.E.
LEARNARD were guests at a little dinner given in honor of the event and
hostess and guests, all of whom had suffered in the wild early days, had
a long talk, concerning the events of the stirring time, though it is now
far in the past as a human lifetime goes, but must always be remembered
as the most thrilling period of their lives, by those who experienced it.
Mrs. JENKINS came to Lawrence with her husband and family in 1855
and Gaius JENKINS homesteaded a quarter section of land, a part of which
is now west Lawrence. Later James H. LANE instituted a contest to the
title of the land and a feud grew up between him and JENKINS. This
went on until June 3, 1858, when LANE shot JENKINS as the latter was
trying to get water from a well on the land under dispute.
The killing of JENKINS by LANE aroused a great deal of feeling all
over the country, and this was particularly the case at Lawrence. The
killing was done in cold blood, as JENKINS'only object ori the premises
was to get water from the well which LANE claimed as his own. The
well stood near what is now the corner of Henry*and Illinois streets.
Although the well had been dug by JENKINS, a short time previous to the
killing LANE had put a padlock on the gate leading to the well, and
had forbidden JENKINS entry to the premises. The JENKINS family had
used water from a ravine for a few days, which had caused sickness in
the family. The head of the household finally went to the well, where
he was killed by LANE. The murderer was never punished for his crime
except by the ostracism of many who had been his friends.
Mrs. JENKINS has lived in Lawrence nearly all the time since the
day when she helped to carry the body of her husband back to the home.
It is now fifty-five years since the tragedy occurred, and Mrs. JENKINS,
one of the chief sufferers from it, is spending the evening of her days
in peace and tranquility.

Full Measure

I

I
I

. Our friend Wm. GIBSON, has several times laid us under obligations
for the freshest of early vegetables, and never did we', find the measure
stinted. William is a trifle over six feet in stature. himself, which
shows that he descends from a race certainly not stingy in bone and
muscle. Billy is willing to give as good as he receives, and proves it
by the advent of an eleven pound boy, who will date his birth April 26,
1882. We like to chronicle a full round act, and so should hay~ been
I glad i f Billy had made this a full dozen,' but he claims that the youth
•
I has enough of good looks to make up for half a dozen pounds, so Mr.
i
GIBSON still ~as considera~le the advantage of us. We:hope he may p:ovej
an hono. r toh1s parents, l-l1th as good and even a larger heart than h1s
father. .

THE EARTHQUAKE.
Our city was the scene of the liveliest excitement, about 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, that it has been our fortune to witness. There is no doubt
but this section was honored with a veritable, genuine, old-fashioned earthquake~one that would be a credit to localities a little closer to the quaky
regions of the globe.
'
We were pursuing our usual avocation, on the third story of the building,
everything quieter than usual, when suddenly, without warning, the building
connnenced shaking in a manner that plainly indicated something wrong. Our
. first impression was that the floor was giving way, and. accordingly we made a
hasty transit to the corridor at the head of the stairs. At this juncture
the compositors and printers came·rushing out of their rooms with an alacrity
that was surprising, and someone exclaimed that the building was falling.
The continued and increasing shaking of the whole building fully justified
that view, and we suddenly came to the conclusion that we wanted to get out,
and that badly, too. We started to go down stairs, but the thought struck

�63

The Earthquake (cont.)
us that going down two long flights of stairs,·with a three-story brick
building traveling the same direction, was not quite the thing. In this
dilemma, one of the boys threw up the window opening on the roof of the
adjoining building, and if ever a set of fellows went through a window in
less time, we want them to come here and let us see them do it. We ran
to the cone of the roof, and found it was shaking as badly as the one left,
and accordingly ran to the next roof. It was jarring very perceptibly, and,
looking down in the street, we saw the whole city going through about the
same maneuver that we were at. Everyone was rushing out in the street,
and fellows engaged on the upper stories were coming down, six steps at
a jump, hair flying and eyes popped·out, in away that'showed something the
matter. As soon as we saw it was a general complaint we .felteasier, and
left our perch for the street. When we went down the whole city was out,
and everyone concurred that it was a serious shock. Everything of a movable
nature was rattled in an alarming manner, and in many places plastering was
cracked and fell from the walls. A large stone was loosened and fell from
the top of the Unitarian Church, and in many houses and stores small articles were thrown ,from the walls. There· is no denying that it was a rather
serious scene, and we saw a good many white faces on the street, after it
was over.
From the telegraph operator we learn it was felt at St. Jo., Leavenworth,
Wyandotte, and as far west as the railroad line extends. It lasted about
one and a half minutes, according to the report of persons who profess to
have timed it. There is no doubt but something. is wrong with the internal
arrangements of Mother Earth; but it is to be hoped sh~ will attempt to
rectify it in other sections, and not take her medicine in Kansas.
I

The current of the river was checked by the earthquake, causing it to
rise in waves of some height. A tub nearly full of water, in front of
Filley &amp; DeWolf's store, was almost emptied by the shock.
·Nothing was talked of, or thought of, last evening, but the earthquake.
Everyone had his or her experience to relate, and the whole history of
earthquakes was overhauled, and a great many theories advanced, and speculations as to the cause, etc. One little boy gave as plausible a solution
as anyone that we heard. He gravely·informed a companion, who was evidently not so well posted, that he "guessed the earth had the bellyache." We
judge that boy will be a professor in a district school yet. We could find
no one who was frightened, or felt any fear at the time:of the occurrence.
One fellow was detailing his coolness, when another impolitely exclaimed, ;
"What in the h--l did you run down stairs so fast for, if you wasn't scared?"
"Run!" said our hero, "Why, I ran out to see what was the matter." That was
just the way with us~we simply went out at the window to see if anything
was up.

LOCAL MATTERS

Lawrence Business--One of our business men informs us, that on last Saturday, he counted the teams
in town and found one hundred and sixty-five in one street. If that don',t look as if Lawrence was
a business town, we have no conception of what would. It was no extraordinary occasion and scarcely
indicated a difference from the ordinary business of our place. Frequently citizens of other points
of the state are heard to express great surprise at these exhibitions of the active business enterprise of our beautiful city.

MAJOR DAVID STARR HOYT
THE HERALD OF FREEDOM, Lawrence, Saturday, June 27, 1857
Major HOYT, who was assassinated last summer, near Fort Saunders, and
hastily buried by his friends on Rock Creek eight miles from Lawrence, was
disinterred on Tuesday last, the 23rd and brought to this place and buried
with military honors.
The services were conducted in the Unitarian Church, with the choir
furnishing some beautiful music. The Rev. LOVEJOY delivered an oration,
and the Lawrence Brass Band closed with one of their mournful and solemn airs.
His remains were followed to the grave by the Oread Guards and by a
large concourse of citizens, accompanied by music from the Band.
He lies buried between the lamented ,BARBER and the brave SHOMBE, in the
Lawrence burying ground. So long as men love liberty and hate slavery, so
long as they venerate the brave and true, so long as they love principle
more than life, so long will they visit the graves of these martyrs to
liberty to strengthen their manhood, increase their courage, and kindle the
flame of patriotism by the memories of the glorious dead.
David Starr HOYT was born in Deerfield, Mass., in the year 1821. He
was therefore 35 years old, at the time of his death. He leaves behind an
orphan child, a daughter, aged six years. He served in Scott's army in
Mexico, and was in every battle from Vera Cruz to the City of Mexico. He
was considered a brave 'and valuable soldier. He was a scholar and, a man of
varied attainments. In 1852, he was with Stephen's surveying party, in
running out the Northern Pacific Railroad route, from Oregon to Wisconsin.
His services were highly appreciated and well rewarded by the Government.
In March, 1856, he came to Kansas with a quantity of Sharp's rifles,
which were taken from him at Lexington on the Missouri River. From that
time forward he served the cause of freedom faithfully and without interruption, until the time of his death.
In the summer of 1856, the Georgia guerilla companies concentrated
under Col. TREADWELL, and commenced building fortifications and furnishing
themselves with military stores on Washington Creek, ten miles southwest
of Lawrence, on the claim of a Mr. SAUNDERS.
Word went out from this post and others of a similar character that
all the Free-state men must leave the Territory or be killed, but that any
Free Mason might come in and he should be safe. The settlers became alarmed
at these frequent threats and applied to Major SEDGWICK, commander of the
U.S. dragoons at Lecompton to drive them away, or allow them to go do it.
Major SEDGWICK sent over'an officer with a company of soldiers, to examine
into it, and gather information. The officer reported that there was a
company of Southern men building a town and the logs they were hauling were
for cabins. New developments continued to alarm the inhabitants, and they
applied to the people of Lawrence for assistance. In order to determine
what course should be pursued, it became necessary to send a messenger to
Col. TREADWELL to ascertain what his objects and intentions were.
Major HOYT volunteered to go. Trusting to the honor of Col. TREADWELL
as a brother Mason, he expressed perfect confidence in the safety of the
enterprise. He left Lawrence in the afternoon of August 11, 1856, ent~rely
unarmed and stayed all night with a friend, (Augustus WATTLES), near Bloomington, and in the morning went over to Washington Creek to Saunders Fort.

�87

Major David Starr HOYT (con't.)
He stayed there until after dinner, left, was followed out on the pral.rl.e
by three men and shot. Early next morning, word came in that a man was shot
near the Fort Saunders by the Georgians who were under Col. TREADWELL. Two
boys who were near the scene of action, witnessed the deed. As Major HOYT
did not return as was expected, his friends became painfully anxious for
his fate. A large company of Free State men gathered, and established a
camp at Dr. E.G. MACY's, on Rock Creek. They sent over a company of thirty
men, under the command of Capt. SHOMBE, to search for the body.
They called upon Col. TREADWELL for information as to where it was
buried, but could get none. After searching nearly all day without success,
they fortunately met a company of surveyors who had seen the grave, and
directed them to it. He was doubled up and thrown into a hole, his knees
projecting from the ground. They took him up,placed him in a wagon, and
then carried him to the camp., On being examined by the physicians, it was
discovered that he had been shot from behind,the fatal ball entering the
back of the head and passing out at the forehead. His face was thickly
covered with corrosive sublimate, so as to destroy his identity as soon
as possible, and probably in twelve hours more, it would have been destroyed.
A strong box was provided by 'Henry HIATT of Bloomington, in which his remains
were deposited, and he was temporarily buried ina beautiful grove on the
banks of Rock Creek. H~ has lain there in peace a little over ten months,
when our citizens have performed the last sad rite of burial, by consigning
him to his final resting place.
Note: It is not surprising that Henry HIATT would provide a burial box for
Major HOYT. Prior to his own death'in 1900 at the age of 84, he completed
a coffin for himself which he carved 'from a large log.

History of Eudora Area Churches.

'

,

Eudora has always had many different churches because it's early
settlers came from Europe where you find a church Or;t nearly every hil~ .
and down in the valley. They are very old and historlc churches. and:-.
well kept.Many have beautiful murals and paintings in them because the
neople could not read the Bible so the pictures told the Bible story
-from the Creation to the start of the early churches.
The Church was important to our European settlers as a vital part
of their religious and social life.Soon after Eudora was se·ttled in
1857 worship was started in hOmes as Missions,then in larger buildings
until the membership grew so a church building was built.
The first known church services in Eudora was before its founding
when the ~hawneeIndian Chief Paschal Fish,Jr. asked for a Mission
school here to provide schooling and religion for his Tribe and others
childrenoThe Wakarusa Shawnee Indian Methodist Mission was built at
about 1215 Elm Street.
The Mission was a two story,rough-hewn building of native lumber
with a thatched roof and Dr.Abram still was the Missionary in charge
of building the Mission school and director.He was a l1ethodist Minister
a medical doctor,teacher,carpenter and farmeroOne son,Dr.AoT.Still
practiced here and founded Osteopathy and another son,Dr. James still
practiced here many years at 806 Main St.The Still's gave land and.
helped to start Baker University.
Chief Fish,Jr. was also a licensed Minister by the Methodist Church
and helped with church services.The Mission started in 1851 and prob&lt;~
ably closed in 1854 because of the slavery problem. Then Circuit Preachers continued to serve Eudora until the churches were established.
The next earliest church 1s the Clearfield Evangelical,now United
Methodist,which began as a Class Meeting by German Evangelicals in 1858
with a Circuit Rider Missionary Preacher,who sometimes could come only
once in three months o These preachers usually wore out several horses
each year and lived only at an average age of thirty-five. They often
slept on the prairie grass which was taller than their head when seatoo
on their horse.They had only a few trails,practicallY'no bridges and ;.
rode in the heat,dust,rain,storms,sleet,severe cold,snow and wind.
When the Preacher came to a certain area the word got around and
people came for miles around,walking,in lumber wagons,buggies and on
horsebackoThey brought a basket dinner and spent the entire day in
worship and Christian fellowshipoPeople from other denominations came
too as some preachers could only get around once in six weeks or SOo
Later when schools were built church worship was held in them
until churches could be erected.
Clearfield was first called Captain's Creek and was a part of the
Evangelical Mission Circuit of Franklin.Sermons were in German there
but communication was difficult because these German pioneers came
from different provinces in Germany and each province spoke German a
little differentlyo
In 1861 a Camp meeting was held on the Schendel and Heeder farms
and they lasted a we.ek and people lived in their wagons and they held
them when the moon was full.
In 1880 the Clearfield Church was built on land donated by George
Hausman.The head carpenter was William Deckwa who organized the men
and members did the building themselves. The original Chancel railing
is still in use in the present church.The men made the pews and a high
railing down the middle of the church to separate the men and women,a
common practice,also in the Quaker,Methodist and other early churches.
1~en the wind was strong, plaster fell on the heads of the worshippers until George Schattenberg put in a beautiful wooden ceiling.Kerosene lamps and wood burning stoves were used until 1907 or 8 0

Acetylane lights were~sed until 1917.
In 1945 the Evangelicals merged with the United Brethren to form
the Evangelical United Brethren Church and in 1968 merged with the
Hethodis t Church to form the United Hethodist Church.Clearfield E. u. B.
and Salem E.U.B. in Eudora shared the same pastor until 1966 and then
Clearfield was joined with Wordeno
Li ttle information is available about Harmony Free He thodis t Church
but a group started in 1856 from the Methodist Circuit rider days in
the Harmony schoolhouse six miles south and two and one half miles we$
of Eudora on the north side of the road until 1857 when a church was
built one halfmile east and one half mile south of the school on the
John Edmond Nichols farm.Mrs. Nichols funeral was tha last religious
service held in the building Aug.,I9I8.Rev. Lovejoy was a Methodist
Circuit Preacher but felt he had more "elbow room" with Free Hethodists
and was the minister there.This seemed to be an English speaking church.
Captain's Creek Methodist Church was organized ~n 1859 as a German
speaking Class Meeting on the Johnson,Douglas County line, southeast of
Eudora.Brother August Mecke served the church first,no regular minister was available ex cept Circuit preachers.During the Civil War,Eudora
and Captain's Cree1Cwere with Lawrence on a Circuit.This church was
often c alled"Little Blue" because the walls were painted blue inside
at one time.The building was erected in 1882 on land donated by the
Joe Millers.The land first belonged to a Shawnee Indian named Adams.He
sold it to Ed Knabe's father.Ed's widow married Joe Millero
Captain's Creek and Eudora Methodist were served by the same minister until 1955 when Eudora secured a full time pastor.VJhen Captain's
Creek disbanded a few years later some came to Eudora,Clearfield,Edg6.~­
ton and Gardner.The building is on the Wesley Brecheisen farm and used
for storage.
.
The German Methodist Church began with Class Meetings in 1859 jointly with Captain's Creek and Lawrence Circuit.This group purchased the
home at 6th and Main Street in I870.Worship was on the second floor am
the minister lived downstairs.
In I88r a new frame church was built between eighth and ninth street
on Church Street on the west side while Rev.John Ehrsman was the minis~er
and in r884 a parsonage was built by Frank Brender but it burned in 1926.
This church was torn down and parts of it were used in the buildine of
the home at 825 Locust sto
Some of the r868 records'mention these people: C.Steinm.eyer,H.: . ..l,.r
Rausch, J oGutknecht,Fr.Weibel,AoBromelsick, Julius S.Miller.F. W.l1eyer,
Hunziker,~origott(early German name meaning ~ust) Gabriel,Holzappel,
D.Huller or Mutter,Ed Capeo
The local minister H.Meyer was reminded to have a written report
of loc~l conditions of parsonage which had been built in Lawrence,papering etco and if he retracted what he said his license would be renewed.
A supervisory committee was appointed Aug.r868 of Three men to examine
the character of the minister and another committee of three men were
appointed to examine the minister's license to preach.He must have met
their requests as he was granted a new license.
In 1893 some members were: CoEberhardt~Bartz,Albrecht,Schafer,H.
Gabriel,BrinkmeyeriGus Rosenau,Henry Abels,Wuensch,Albert Baecker,W.
Gabriel,A. Gabriel,Walters,Kanzig,Havercamp,Bohnsack,Schutteo A~proval
for membership list was; Anna Gabriel,Bertha Knopp,Carry(Carrie) Abel,
and Brothe Laple is to be excused from attending because of his health,
and Brother Albrecht demanded his membership certificate or he would
withdraw.
In 1893 Lawrence was voted to be removed from the Circuit and Captain's Creek and Eudora would have alternate services in morning and
afternoon.Members sent flour and grain to western Kansas people because
of the drought.
In 1895 Freddie Trefz and George Broers Here -recommended for membsrship and a committee appointed to buy land to build a horse barn on.

In 1896 people approved for membership after the reEular six months
probation were; Joseph Broers,Frank Broers,Willie Spitzli,Eddie Bartz,
George Schafer,George Schneider,Lydia Albrecht,Lt1zie Eberhardt and
Tillie Ziesenis.
Hesper Friends Church(originally called Quakers) first met at the
home of Jonathan and Phebe Mendenhall in I86I,one mile east of Hespe~
In 1862 the group was granted a Preparative Meeting called Springfiel~
A meeting house twenty-four feet square was built of native lumber hauled from Leavenworth. (This are was mostly prairie bluestem grass in those
days;few treesL)
The first families besides the Hendenhalls were ;George T.Rogers,

service,oaths,lotteries and paying wages to n.nisters but even in early
years had women ministers.They spent much time in worship by silent
meditation.
In 1864 the Kansas Quarterly Meeting granted them a Monthly Neet ...~
ing.In 1871 members living east of Captain's Creek in Johnson County
was granted a Preparative Meeting and in 1872 named it Centre.In 1882
a new meeting house was built, a thirty by fifty foot building at Hesperr
and the name changed from Springfield to the name of the town, Hesper.
The Church started planning for an Academy and in 1884 started the
two year High School called Hesper Academy which served until Eudora
High School was built in I9I5.The Church also provided for a Cemetery B
near the Church. English was spoken at Hesper,which was three miles
south and one mile east of Eudora.
The Catholic Church at 300 east 9th Street is the oldest church
building in the area.The members organized in 1863 but they must have
worshipped together before then because we are told that a Jewish merchant(probably Asher and Cohn) let the Catholic congregation worship .
in their general store when a priest could come to town.(Eudora has
always been ecumenically minded'citizen's).We have also read that one
man in early days walked the seven miles to Lawrence to worship in a
Catholic serviceptaking all day for the trip and service.
The Catholic Church,Holy Family Church,building first was a 20X
48 ft. room on the southeast built in 1864 by the ~ople.John Kellerman owned land east of Eudora where the limestone rock was quarried.
Men who hau1ed the stones with horse and wagons were, Jacob Pabst,
Mike Branagan,John Welch and James Brazil.Masons were Casper Weber
and Franz Blechel and some good Lutherans,which was referring to the
St.paul Evangelical Church members. Other men helping were; Fred
Faerber(Eudora's first mayor),Anton Gufler,LW.Pfeif and Leo Vitt.
CarDenter's were,Joseph Hertz,Peter Ha~tig(Captain of the first group
of Germans to settle Eudora),and John Kellerman,who also made a beautiful Altar.They made the inside trim and furniture too.
There was not enough money to buy a bell,so all of Eudora's people
gave money to buy a bell to be rung at 7:00 a.m.,I2 noon and 6:00 p.m.
as it still is.It is now in front of the new ChurchoMr.Greiner rang it
for many years.
German and Latin was spoken in the church and it maintains a cemetery and for many years had a Parochial School for elementary students
and provided a home for the Sisters who taught the children •
. St. Paul Evangelical Church was organized Deco27,1868 by Rev.
Christian Haas under the auspices of the Evangelical &amp;ynod of North
America.This group of Germans met in homes until the first church was
completed in 1871. The present building was built in 1913 and services
were started in English in 1916.1n 1919 one Sunday per month worship
was in German.In 1934 this church joined the Reformed Church and the
Union of the Congregational Christian Church and is now known as the
St. Paul. United Church of Christ.

The Salem Evangelical Church at 716 Church Street was organized
as a German speaking Class Meeting in 1869. The Church was built in
1870 a 26x 40 ft.brick building.The Church was started by Jacob and
Chri~tine Strobel.He and his daughters,Caroline and Pauline carried
water from the Wakapusa River,over two blocks,uphill,for the mortar
for the bricks.
Worden,Clearfield,~tull and Eudora were once on a circuit togeth~.
Rev.John Wereth organized the church here in 1871 and so~e of these
charter members were; Peter Neis,Sr.,Fred Neis,Sr.,Jake l~yers,Jacob
Otts,Ernsts and Yosts.In early 1900 only Eudora and Clearfield were on
the same circuit. The church joined with the United Brethren Church in
1945.
The building was enlarged by a south lecture room and belfry in
I905.The rear Annex was built in I956.The entry way window is the Star
of David but we do not know why.
The Building has been owned by the United Methodist Church since
the merger with the Methodists in 1966 and Salem Chapel,as it is now
called is loaned to the Eudora Youth Service Organization for youth
activities as Boy and Girl Scouts,Cubs and Brownies,4-H,and adult
meetings.The EYSO is to keep it in repair but this is a service project
of the other Eudora organizations,as well as individuals.
Prairie Center had a Friends Church and a Free Methodist Church.
'The Friends began in 1869 but we do not know when the Methodist began
but their second church was built in 19I7.These churches were in Johnson County.
The Friends Church was started from Hesper Friends and that was
called Springfield.Prairie Center was first called just,CENTRE Meetin&amp;
In 1888 the spelling was changed to CENTER and in 1894 to Prairie Cen'tPro
The first building had a gallery and two steps up where visiting
friends and ministers sat although they no pastors then but just religious leaders in the church that were felt to lead and speak. Some of thEe
speakers were; Philander Blackledge,Benjamin Nicholson,William Andrew
and Jimmy Vestal o The latter sometim es sang as well as spoke from memorYoDavid Ve~tal and Jesse Coltrane were head of the meeting and faced
the congregation.When the sun was shining and was straight in the south
door they dismissed the meeting by shaking hands oWe do not know when
they stopped on cloudy dayso
One wedding ceremony was 'performed by the the couple sitting and
facing each other ona bench in silence and finally standing and repeating their vows.
In 1894 a new church or meeting house was built and Tilghman Couch
and Sibyl Andrew sat at the men and women's meeting.Eusebia Couch,mother
of Verlan Couch,a Eudora resident many years,ministered for over twenty
years and led a Young peoples group,Christian Ende@vor.
In 1901 a free will offering was taken to pay the ministers and
in 1911 Frank E.Jones asked for pay as a pastor of $8.00 per week in
money and a donation of 8 pullets or hens and hay and grain for twenty
weeks in winter for the stock and an occasional donation of groceries
or wood or both.
The government bought the land and the church in 1942 for the
Sunflower Ordnance Works but sold the church building back to the
Friends where they moved it one-half mile west and one and one half
miles south of Prairie Center but in 1959 it was moved to Gardner
and called Gardner Monthly Meeting of Friends.

"A LETTER FROM KANWAKA"
Printed in The Kansas Weekly Gazette, Lawrence,

Ks~,

Dec. 22, 1882

If there is one thing more than another that Kanwaka has reason to be
proud of it is its ladies. For intellectuality, sociability and hospitality
we know that they are inferior to none, and for beauty we feel able to take
the cake. They have been carrying on for about two years a Literary Social,
which they have made a grand success, having not only added to their own
intellectual and .social powers, -but have every month opened their doors and
invited in their husbands, brothers and friends and given them a treat in
the way of some very interesting programs. Such a time was last Friday
night, when they met at the house of Mr. and Mrs. E.A. COLEMAN. The large
house of the host was full to overflowing of neighbors, and while the
children" occupied one room and enjoyed themselves in various games, the
elder people filled another and listened to the reading in outline of
Howell's "Chaucer Acquaintance," which was read by. Mrs. TOPPING, Mrs.
PIERSON and Miss Belle RICHARDSON. The close attention given to the readers
showed how their efforts were appreciated, and the look of rapt attention
and numerous sighs from the old men showed how their minds were drawn back
into the past, when they were young and full of sentiment, and how the book
brought vividly to their minds similar scenes in the past, in which they
formed a prominent part. After finishing that book, Mrs. CONANT read "A
Widow's Christmas," from Harper's, which was received with a great deal qf
feeling. Then there was a song by Miss Emma EVANS. Then Rollo DRAPER
recited a declamation, followed by a selection by Mr. CONANT. The literary
exercises then over, the president said they would have an hour of social
talk, which was filled in by friendly greetings among the many present,
with some more music, which they all joined in singing, Miss Ida EVANS
presiding at the organ. The next meeting is to be a Christmas meeting, in
two weeks, at Mr. E.A. COLEMAN's, for the children. In four weeks, at Mr.
RICHARDSON's. We left at ten o'clock, and the house was resounding with
merry laughter and pleasant voices. Many thanks to the ladies of Kanwaka.
May their society always remain on its pleasant and firm foundation.

Last Sabbath was a day of special interest to the people of Kanwaka.
Their large school-house was filled with an attentive audience, gathered
to participate in the organization of a union church. Prof. L.W. SPRING
preached an excellent and appropriate sermon, and Rev. H.E. WOODCOC
assisted in the organization services, after which the Lord's Supper was
observed. Twenty-three persons united with the church and others will
join at an early day. Rev. A.M. RICHARDSON, who has been preaching
there for some time, is pastor of the church. They hope to build a
house of worship in the near future.

... Lawrence Republican, Sept. 11, 1862
DIED
In Lawrence, Sept. 4, 1862 of congestion of the brain, John L. BRONSON,
in the thirty first year of his age.
The deceased was born in Baltimore but his parents soon after removed
to Fall River, Mass. in 1~48(?). He came west with his brother, and spent
over two years in Illinois, Iowa and other points on the Mississippi. He
then returned to Fall River and went into business. In 1853 he went to
California where he spent three years. He returned during the time, however,
and married; his wife going back with him. On their journey out, a railroad
accidentoccured on the Isthmus in which fourteen cars were broken to pieces'
and many lives lost but they were spared without serious injury. On their
return he was seized with the smallpox on board the steamer, and after
landing, was left for two weeks at Panama.', In 1857 he came to Kansas where
he and his family have dwelt ever since. He·was just building a very substantial and commodious dwelling,and had moved into the finished portion
of it three days before he died. One sows and.another reaps. He attended
church, as usual, Sunday morning was taken with congestive chills Honday
afternoon. And died Thursday evening 'at 9 1/2 o'clock. He was active and
untiring in his labors, clear in his calculations, and kind and affectionate
in his disposition. He will be missed and mourne~ by all who knew him and
mourned the more the better he was known.

PLYMOUTH CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH
Picture from A Souvenir Historv of Lawrence, Kansas. 1898
fCompi.leJ ."iod

pllbli~hed

by E.F. Caldwell

In September, 1854, Rev. S.Y. LUM, of
New York, was sent out as a missionary to Kansas,- by the Home Missionary Society. Arriving
in Lawrence, he immediately commenced his
work, preaching his first sermon October 1,
1854. The services were held in the "Pioneer
Boarding House"-the only available building
at that time . . After holding several meetings,
an organization was perfected by him, including the following members: S~Y. LUM, Charles
DICKSON, O.A. HANSCOM, O. HARLOW, L. LITCHFIELD
and wife, S.C. POMEROY, Carrie R. LUM, Anna
TAPPAN. The organization was named the
"Plymouth Church," from the fact that the
circumstances and aims of its founders, who
were principally from New England, so nearly
resembled those of the Plymouth Pilgrims.

Services were held in the "Pioneer Boarding House" for a short time, when
the rough board building, called "the church," was completed. During. the winter,
the building was destroyed by fire. In March, 1855, the church commenced holding
meetings in the St. Nicholas Hotel. Services were held here until a room was
provided in the upper story of a frame building on Massachusets.street. In the
autumn of 1855, they were compelled to relinquish the room for the use of the
citizen soldiery. In the sUmIner of 1856, they moved into the "Emigrant Aid
Building," which they occupied through the fall and winter, and later, a few
weeks,the Unitarian Church. In the spring of 1856, the erection of a church
edifice.was commenced, and the building partially completed in the spring of the
year following, and services held in it. The building was finally completed in
1862. The structure is 40x65 feet, and built of limestone.
Rev. S.Y. LUM officiated as pastor till the spring .of 1857, when he was
succeeded in December of the same year, by Rev. D. CORDLEY. For eighteen years,
Mr. CORDLEY had charge of the church, and was succeeded in May, 1876, by Rev. L.W.
SPRING. Mr. SPRING remained till October, 1881, and was succeeded by the present
incumbent, Rev. G. Hale SCOTT.
In 1868, the church having progressed so rapidly, it was found necessary to
erect a new edifice. This structure, one of the largest and finest buildings
of its kind in the State, is constructed of brick, and is 60xl14 feet. The
total cost, including a $4,000 pipe organ, was $40,000. Present membership, 318.

HORRIBLE MURDER!
Midnight Attack on the House of Jos. Gardner

(' -v\

(

)

On last Friday night, about midnight, the house of Mr. Joseph GARDNER-one of the most respected citizens of this county, living on Washington
Creek--was attacked by a gang of armed assassins, who attempted to enter
the house and murder its inmates. Mr. GARDNER and his family bravely defended themselves, and a colored man working for Mr. GARDNER, named Napoleon
SIMPSON, going to the door during the attack, was fatally wounded, so that
he died in less than an hour. Volley after volley was fired in at the
windows, and it was only by a miracle that more of the inmates were not
murdered. Mr. GARDNER is a quiet man, very highly esteemed by the community
at large, and knows of no cause of enmity against him, except that he is a
radical anti-slavery man, and never betrays the fleeing fugitive. It is
supposed that the attack must have been made by a gang of wretches who are
prowling about the Territory, stealing horses, kidnapping colored people,
and committing like crimes. Those who think that the battle with the slave
power is fought and won, on the soil of Kansas, will see that it is only
just begun!

We publish below the testimony taken before the coroner, in accordance
with which a verdict was found that deceased came to his death at the hands
of persons unknown:
Joseph GARDNER, being duly sworn, testified as follows: A few
minutes before one o'clock a.m. on the morning of June 9, 1860,
three or more men, to me unknown, came to my house and attempted
to force an entrance. To the question, "Who is there?" the reply
was, "Open the door, sir." "What do you want?" was answered with
the expression, "G-d D--m you, open the door!" The door was then
opened, and I immediately discharged my revolver at a person
standing nearby, supposed to be the one who had been talking to me.
My shot was promptly answered, and as promptly repeated on my part.
Again my shot was responded .to. But my third shot receiving no
answer, I shut the door and went to a window, through which I discharged a shot at a man who was passing. This shot was very
promptly answered by another man, at the side of the window. At
the same moment, a heavy discharge of bird and buckshot came in
at the other window, on the opposite side of the house. I then
took my Sharp's rifle, with which I shot several times at two
different men I saw retreating on horseback. On passing a window,
a discharge of buckshot, twelve in number, was aimed at me, and
lodged in the wall of my house, but a short distance from the bed in
which my wife and two youngest children were. While I was thus
engaged' in the defense of my self and home, my son, Theodore and a
man in my employment by the name of Napoleon SIMPSON, were also
engaged in the defense--each discharging several shots. Two shots
were fired at my son, and one at Napoleon SIMPSON, which took
effect in his left breast, when he fell to the floor, and died in
about forty-five minutes.

Jos. GARDNER Con't:
Question-- Did you see anyone that you could recognize in the future?
Answer-- No.
Q. Was anything found about the premises that,would tend to implicate
any person? A. Nothing positive; but there were a few things that make up
strong circumstantial evidence.
Q. Have you those things in your possession? A. Yes.
Mrs. Sarah GARDNER, being duly sworn, testified as follows: A few
minutes before one o'clock, on the morning of the 9th inst., I was awakened
by the dogs making a noise. My husband got out of bed and ~vent to the door,
and asked, "Who is there?" Their reply.was, "Open the door, sir." My
husband then asked, "What do you want?" The reply was, "G-d d-m you, "open
the door!" in a very stern voice. The door was then opened and my husband
then fired. Five different. shots were exchanged at the door. My husband
then closed the door and went to a window, through which he discharged
another shot from his revolver. A shot was fired in at the south window,
which set fire to some cotton fabric under the same, which I immediately
extinguished. My husband and Napoleon SIMPSON both went upstairs. About
this time, I saw a man pass the north window, when I called to them to come
down. Just after they came down, a heavy discharge of buckshot came in at
the north window, from the direction. I saw the man. The shot lodged in the
lining of the room, near the foot of my bed. My husband and Napoleon
SIMPSON both fired from the north window. Napoleon SIMPSON then opened the
door. and discharged a shot from the same, in a few seconds after which a
shot was made, and he, the said Napoleon SIMPSON, fell to the floor, exclaiming, "Now, who did that?" He lived only about three-quarters of an
hour after he fell.

Mr. Theodore GARDNER, being duly sworn, testified as follows:
Q. Where were you on the first alarm? A. Upstairs, in bed.
Q. What did you first hear? A. The first word .1 heard spoken was,
"What do you want?" I think it was by my father. The next I heard was a
man, unknown to me, reply, "Open the door, G-d d-m you!" I next heard
shooting. I saw one man, soon after the shooting at the door, leading a
horse a short distance from the house, going northwest. He did not shoot
while I saw him. I do .not know whether he had gun. This affray took place
between twelve and one o'clock on Saturday morning, June 9th. "I do not
think the affray lasted more than ten minutes. I heard a heavy shot, and
immediately afterwards I heard Napoleon SIMPSON exclaim, "0 Lord!" who did
that?" After he fell, I heard him.say, "Fight!· Fight hard!" I saw him
lying on the floor upon his face. I heard no more shooting after he fell,
by anyone outside. I do not know how long he lived, for I left soon after
for assistance.
Q. Did you see more than one man during this affray? A. Not positively.
Q. Would you recognize the man you saw? A. No.

�29
Jos. GARDNER con't:
Miss Mary W. GARDNER, being duly sworn, testified:
Q. Where were you at the time this affray took place? A. Upstairs,
in bed.
Q. What did you first hear? A. The barking of dogs.
Q. At what time was this attack made? A.About one o'clock a.m.
on the morning June 9th, 1860.
Q. Did you hear any conversation at the door? A. I heard my father
ask, "Who is there?" The reply was, "Open the door, sir." My father then
asked, "What do you want?" The answer was, with an oath, "Open the door!"
Q. What next occurred? A. I heard the door opened, and several shots
followed, in quick succession.
Q. Did you see any person during this time? A.. No.
Q. About how long did the affray last? A. About ten minutes.
Q. Did you remain upstairs all the time. A. Yes.
Q. Did you hear or do you know anything in relation to the matter of
the death of Napoleon SIMPSON? A. I heard the door opened, and some shooting soon after. I heard sometliing fall heavily upon. the floor, and at the
same time I heard his voice exclaim. "0 Lord!" now who did that?" I afterwards heard groans, which I was confident proceeded from him.
Q. Did you see him before he died, after the affray? A. No, when I
first saw him he was dead, lying upon the floor.
Q. Were there any shots fired through the room where you were? A. None
that I know of.
Dr. E.G. MACY, after being duly sworn, testified as follows: On the
morning of the 9th of June, 1860, I and Dr. THOMPSON went to the house of
Joseph GARDNER. As we went into the house we saw the dead body of Napoleon
SIMPSON, lying upon the floor, on his left side and abdomen, face down, his
shirt and sheet upon which he lay all covered with blood. After several of
our neighbors had gathered, I and some of them washed and dressed him. By.
moving the clothing that was under and upon him, we saw several pools of
clotted or coagulated blood upon the floor. In turning him over, we saw a
wound upon his body, consisting of two holes, each three-quarters of an
inch in diameter, one inch apart, entering the body at the left superior
portion of the thorax or chest--one hole or orifice below the clavicle or
collar bone, the other orifice or hole immediately upon the bone, showing
very evidently that the wounds were made by buckshot, discharged from a gun,
forcing their way toward the lower and outer edge of the scapula or shoulder
blade of the left side, some three or four of them passing out of the body
on the left Side, just under the left arm; some two or three more balls of
shots, were nearly;'through. I' cut. one of them out--it was of the largest
size buckshot. His left shoulder was literally shot to atoms. Dr. THOMPSON
picked up from the floor two or three small pieces of bone that had fallen
out of the wounds. These wounds were the cause of his death.
Q. Are you a physician? A. 1. am.
Q. Did you see anything at Mr. GARDNER's house implicating any person?
A. I saw scraps or fragments of. paper scatted upon the floor between the
left window and stair-casing, indicating as though they had been shot from
a gun; they were powder-burns. When the fragments were arranged as the
pieces indicated or fitted, it read as I have shown you.

LETTER FROM MR. GARDNER
Mr. Editor: In compliance with 'your request, to submit for the readers
of your paper a statement, in connection with the testimony elicited at the
coroner's inquest, held at my house, upon the dead body of Napoleon SIMPSON,
as to the probable cause of such an attack, I say that I know of no cause,
only that I have established the.reputation of hostility to slavery. What
have I ever done to warrant such conduct7 The first thing that ever brought
my name into.public notice.was my connection in July last, with the rescue
of Dr. DOY? from his unjust imprisonment in St. Joseph, Mo. The circum~ .
stances connected with this case are too well known ,in this community to
require restipulation in this connection. In addition to this, I have, in
connection with many others of our citizens, taken sides in the great dispute that is convulsing this nation from one extreme to the other. On one
side we see the weak, the poor, the ignorant, contending for their liberty
against the strong, the rich and powerful. There comes to my. door one of
the former, asking for food and shelter and protection. My nature tells me
to give him aid 'and comfort. ' I f a man is passing my house with a thousand
dollars in his pocket, and I, know that a.short distance beyond, a company
of highwaymen are in ambush, intending to rob' him of his treasure, it is my
duty to inform him of his danger, and render him assistance. All good men
would hold me responsible if I did not. If, in place of the supposed
treasure, the traveler has himself, as it were, in his pocket, and I know
the hunters to be upon his track, it is my duty to put him upon his guard,
and, in the same .por,portion as "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness"
is more than the thousand dollars ,just so much more is the duty binding
upon me to render him the necessary assistance. This proposition is so
plain to my mind, that I know not how to attempt a demonstration. In fact,
it is an axiom. And it is for holding these sentiments, and daring to
express them, that I am thus hunted down .by midnight assassins. I know
this to be the case from the 'fact that men in this vicinity, who are on
friendly terms with me on other matters, are giving encouragement to this
movement. One man, whom I helped to place in official position in this
county, under the impression that he·had a soul, now says that he has about
as much respect for those men who made the attack upon my house as he has
for me. Others have said that they wished it had been me, instead of
SIMPSON, who got shot. And this is very evident, for he had been sold
but a short' time ago for$I,500, to a slave trader who had bought him for
a southern market. This is the reason why he left the home of his childhood. He had made his escape to a land of safety, but returned to rescue
his wife and children from the prison house of slavery, thus establishing
his bravery as well as his affection for his family. While he was lying
upon my floor, weltering in his blood, I asked what I could do for him.
The only reply he made was, "Fightf Fight hard!" Talk about the expressions of great generals on the field of battle. A braver man never bled
or died, not fought in a better cause than that same Napoleon SIMPSON.
It is said by some of my neighbors that I can no longer live in this
county. They mistake their man, if they suppose they can frighten me by
any such threats. Never, while' I have an existence on this earth, will
I ask any man where I shall live, or what I shall say: or do. I have a
family, who are dependent upon.my exertions, to a considerable extent, for
the means of subsistence. While I am unmolested, their comfort is my only
study. If the cause in which I feel so deep an interest has friends enough

�31
Jos. GARDNER con't:
in this vicinity to sustain ourselves, joining hands with me for mutual
protection and self-defense, it is all well enough. When you hear of this
point being taken or surrendered " count· me and many valued friends among
those who have gone from works to rewards.
If this attack had endangered no one but myself, I should feel vastly
different. . But when it comes to discharging shot promiscuously into a
house occupied by innocent women and harmless children, it is too much for
our nature to withstand. I may not live to see an end of American slavery,
but while I do live, no man shall exceed me in hostility to that institution,
only as he has the ability. to hate with a more deadly hatred than is in my
power to do. But I have said enough, and yet less would not seem to meet
the case. I have the honor to be
Yours for Freedom,
JOSEPH GARDNER'

EUDORA

The memories of,old Chas. 'BLUE 'JACKET who died a few days ago in the
Indian Territory, is not forgotten by over two dozen of the old settlers
now with us. BLUE JACKET lived four miles up Wakarusa creek and left
there over thirty years ago. He was a half breed Indian and established
what was then known as "Blue Jacket's crossing." In early history this
was the only crossing on this creek for twenty miles away, and there he
lived during early Kansas troubles and kept a kind of hotel for free state
men as well as Mrs. STEVENS. After Kansas was admitted to the sisterhood
of states the tribe to which he belonged were moved to the southeast with
Shawnee town as headquarters. Twenty-six years ago the tribe went to the
Indian territory with BLUE JACKET as one of their chiefs. Some two weeks
ago he came back to Wyandotte county to locate the grave of one of the
prophets, and while there he was taken sick, and lived only a few days
after reaching home. The tribe wished to locate their Jacket's grave to
erect a monument there. BLUE JACKET was 80 years old and had twenty-six
sons and daughters, ten of whom are now living over in Wyandotte county
and the rest scattered over the territory. He was here when the village of
Eudora was laid out and for' years was a conspicuous figure on the streets.
He came to the state sixty-five years ago when a yoth of 15 years of age.
He was widely known in later years as a preacher of some talent as a
pulpit orator among his Indian friends.

From The Pioneer, VIII,: No.2, p. 95:
"North Lawrence was form'ed in 1865 from territory taken out of Sarcoxie Township in Jefferson Co. Legislature of 1867 provided for formation of Grant
Township out of Sarcoxie Township." 'Below are some a:rticles which opposed this.
The Independent, Oskalo~sa, Ks., Feb. 18, 1865
THE'FRAUD CONSUMATED
Money and persevering efforts in a wicked cause ,have succeeded with
the citizens of Lawrence in robbing us of a portion of our territory. No
scheme of the kind was ever more unjust; no similar attempt more flagrantly
outrageous; and the rights of part'ies interested never more ruthlessly
trampled upon by unprin~ipled tyranny. Without justice ,or the shadow of
right; without any but the robber's plea; against the, expressed wishes of
nine-tenths of the people on the cut-off,this vile measure has been
pushed through the legiklature by means of corruption and bribery. No
unprejudiced member voted for the bill on the merits of the measure.
Misrepresentation, bribery and promises of place' or help on the part of
Lawrence, did the work, which was conceived in villainy and consummated in
fraud and corruption.
I

HON. M.R. DUTTON
Made a strong fight on the County Line bill, and deserves and has the
thanks of his constituents for the same, we believe, unanimously. But
the money and promises qf'Lawrence were too much. What could not be
carried by fair means w~s rushed through by pressure. Lawrence men were
at the capital for three or four weeks, using every means to rush their
criminal measure througli.;,knowing that they could not,make a showing on
the merits of the case, 'they commenced by 'raising a corruption fund,
variously set down at ftom eight thousand ,to forty thousand dollars;
and upon this and lobby work they relied exclusively.' They well knew
that the people on the territory did not wish to leave this county and
go to theirs. They knew they had not an argument to use founded in
justice and right; ,but they hadmoney.;..-and even the bones of their dead
were conjured up to help them!--an.d against this our representative,
upon whom 'the whole brunt of the,battle fell, could not successfully
contend. But his manly ,defense of our rights merited success, if, under
the adverse circumstances, he did not win it.

Death of Morgan CRONKHITE
The early citizens of Kansas and especially of Lawrence will be pained to
hear of the death ,of Deacon CRONKHITE which occurred at his home in Denver
yesterday as announced 'by dispatch to his daughter Mrs. J.H. NEWLIN, who
started immediately to attend his funeral.
Mr. CRONKHITE came to Kansas from Wyoming, New York with the second
company sent by the Free State Aid Society of that State in 1854 and located
at Osawatomie and was connected with John BROWN in all the early Free State
troubles, was one of hfs confidential advisers. He moved to Lawrence or
North Lawrence in 1863, where he resided until 1875 when he went to Denver
which has since been his home. He was a devoted member of the Baptist church
from early youth and labored zealously as a Christian man, living out 'in his
daily life what he professed, few men were ever held in higher esteem by all
who knew him. In all hlis
labors among his fellow men he kept in view the
I
thought "No man lives to himself."
The bereaved family will have the sympathy of a large circle of friends
here.

WASH~NGTON

CREEK CHURCH OF THE BRETHREN

SOME RECORDED EVENTS IN ITS HISTORY
In the year 1858 under the guidance of Jacob ULRICH at the log cabin home
of Steven STUDEBAKER, 'eight miles southwest of the city of Lawrence, Kansas,
in Douglas County, Karisas, the congregation known as the Washington Creek
Church was formed.
'
There were twelve charter members. Among them were Abraham ROTHROCK and
wife; Steven STUDEBAKER and wife; Daniel STUDEBAKER and wife; Daniel KEENY(?)
and wife; Jacob }U\RKL~Y and wife; Isaac B. HOOVER; and David KINZIE.
At this meeting the first election was held among the Brethren in the State
of Kansas, with Danie] STUDEBAKER being elected to the ministry, Isaac B.
HOOVER, to the office ,of Deacon, and Abraham ROTHROCK chosen as Elder in
charge.
The first recorded Worship service held by this group was May '22, 1859 at
the Jacob ULRICH home. (This was a Love Feast service.)*
During the drouth year,s of, the 1860' s this group was very active in administering aid to fellow Brethren and friends who were in need.
On Dec. 22, 1863, Jacoh ULRICH, the prime mover of the congregation died!
On May 28, 1864, John C. METSKER was elected to the office of Deacon. Also
in 1864, James E. HI~Y was elected to the ministry.
The first building used'forworship was bought March 19, 1864, and was used
until Nov. 23, 1869, when it was sold. The first building the congregation
erected was in 1877, at the present site of Pleasant Grove, Kansas. This
building is no longer ~tanding.
I

April 2, 1881, this:congregation separated with the eastern section of
area staying at the Pl~asant Grove site, and chose the' name Pleasant Grove,
for their name, with James E. HILKEY, being elected Elder in charge. The
western section of the;area retained the name of Washington Creek, and
Peter BRUBAKER was elected Elder in charge. The Weybright School was used
for Worship service until 1885, when the present building was erected.
John C. METSKER was a ~trong moving force in building this church.
On

On Sept. 13; 1885, thebuilding'wasdedicated, with
love feast being held at this time.
Among the first ministe,rs to serve the church were:
Peter BRUB~~ER ~ 1860

Washington Creek Church Con't.
*"The traditions:and customs 'practiced in the serving of communion
at Washington Creek church have hardly varied since the first Love Feast
that was held at the church on October 31, 1885. The Love Feast or full
communion, which includes the ceremony of footwashing, was observed as a
reenactment of the Lord's last supper with His disciples in the upper
room before His betrayal. and crucifixion. The scriptural basis for the
Love Feast is found in John, Chapter 13.; Here.we read, speaking ... of Jesus,
'He riseth.fromst,lpper, and laid aside'his garments, arid. took a towel,
and girded himself. After that he poureth water into a basin, and began
to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the 'towel with which
he was girded. After ,he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments,
and was seated again, ;he said, unto them, Know ye what I have done to
you? Ye call me Haster and Lord; and ye say well; for so I am. If I,
then, your Lord and H~ster,have washed your feet, ye also. ought to
wash one another's feet. For I have given you an example, that ye should
do as I have done to you. If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye
do them.' The Brethren combined all three elements found in John 13;
that is, supper, footw:ashing, and the breaking of bread and drinking of
the cup, and called it: their Love Feast or full communion." Reprinted with
permission from Rev. Dpris FAWL from A People of Living Faith·- History and
Memoirs of the Washington Creek Church of the Brethren, October 13, 1985, p. 118.

North of Baldwin City in Palmyra Township, Douglas County, Kansas, a
number of home sites were located along the Coal Creek. This area was known
as Coal Creek until the construction of the Leavenworth, Lawrence and Galveston
Railroad facilitated the establishment of a post office on September 25, 1868.
This post office was housed in the farm home of the postmaster, George CUTTER.
It was called Vin1and although the application had specified the spelling to
be Vineland, since this area was well-known for the large Concord vineyards
near~by, especially in the William E. Barnes Nursery.
There were sixteen postmasters--two of them--George CUTTER and Thomas
BAKER serving two terms. This is a copy of the list of Vin1and Postmasters
as recorded by the National Archives and Record Service, Washington 25, D.C.

There were four Rural Mail Carriers that served the Vin1and area.

They

were:
W. E. (Gene) HOSKINSON
Udah S. KING
Jessie E. KING (now Mrs. Webb FENTON)
Scott HANSEN
The post office was established September 25, 1868 and was discontinued
April 30,.1954. I t began in the home of George CUTTER which was called Island
Prairie because it stood on top of a small rise above the surrounding grass1and.Herein the CUTTER home the Coal Creek Library books were first housed.
George was both postmaster and librarian. The post office ended iIi the Coal
Creek Library, a small red imitation-brick building just west of the Vin1and
Presbyterian Church where at one time Dr. James Naismith, inventor of the
game of basketball, preached to ,the people of Vin1and.

�44
Vin1and Post Office continued-Usually the post office was located in a public building such as a
store, but occasionally it was in a private home. This was the case with
postmasters H. W. WILLIAMS as well as George CUTTER. The CUTTER home was
located on a knoll just southeast of the present site of the Vin1and United
Methodist Church while the WILLIAMS' residence was just west ·of the old
Santa Fe Depot where the Vin1and Airport is now located. Here too, were the
books of the.Coa1 Creek Library housed for Mrs. WILLIAMS was librarian and
Mr. WILLIAMS was postmaster.
RUSSELL, BAKER, KENNEDY, BROWN, HOSKINSON, REUSCH and'both David and
Elmer HAGERMAN were store proprietors. Three generations of HAGERMANS were
postmasters--David,. his son, Elmer and Elmer's granddaughter, Bernice.
SIMMONS was a physician as well as a farmer and lived on the hill just
south of Vin1and now known as Simmon's Hill. He may have had an office in
Vin1and or perhaps distributed mail out of one of the stores. His home was
on the top of the hill near KIBBEE Cabin, later known as the BARRICKLOW
Cabin where the "seeds for Baker University were first germinated."
One of the most colorful characters was Joseph ILIFF--carpenter" tinsmith, cobbler, store proprietor and local preacher. His son, James, was
also postmaster beginning in June of 1893.
Rural Carrier Service forVin1and began some time in January 1906,
when W.E. (Gene) HOSKINSON was appointed the first carrier. Because of
family health problems, Gene relinquished the position after a few months.
Sometime in the spring or summer of 1906, Udah S. KING took over the route
and held the appointment until he died of typhoid fever in September 1918.
His daughter, Jessie, then carried the mail for three years. Her successor
was Scott HANSEN who served for many years.
At first the mail was carried in a horse-drawn vehicle with its sides
painted red, white and blue. In the spring of 1918, Mr. KING bought a
mode1-T Ford and his daughter, Jessie, who was a senior in high school at
that time went along with him to crank the car and help with the mail.

)

Jessie KING FENTON relates an interesting incident connected with that
first civil service exam for the carriers. It was agreed among those taking
the test that the one chosen for carrier would give.an oyster supper for
the others. It so happened that Gene HOSKINSON was selected for the job and
thus became host for the supper. As Udah's wife was unable to attend, Udah
asked his daughter, Jessie, to be his partner. So Jessie attended the
supper with her father and later became a carrier herself.
Three women served as postmistresses. They were Mrs. Martha L. MILBERN,
1937-1941; Miss Bernice HAGERMAN, 1941-1942; and Mrs. Alma F. HEINRICH, 1947
to .Apri1 30, 1954, when the post office atVin1and was formally closed.
Many of the Vin1and residents were then served by the Baldwin City Post
Office. During that period of time, the post office was located in the Coal
Creek Library building which was built in 1900 especially to house the
accumulation of library books. Mrs. HEINRICH was both librarian and post..,.
mistress.
Thus theVin1and Post Office began and ended in the same location as
the Coal Creek Library.
Katharine B. KELLEY wrote this in 1984 for the Woman's Kansas Day Club to be
presented to the Kansas State Historical Society as part; of their project.

HALL OWE 'EN PARTY
A clever and unique Hallowe'en party was given Saturday night when
Mrs. James WIGGINS and Miss Janet FINK were hostesses to over thirty
unmar:ried friends at the home of Mrs. WIGGINS northwest of town. The
house was artistically decorated with autumn leaves, jack-o-1anterns,
witches and black cats. There was a ghost parade which started in the
cellar and ended in the garret, where there was a horrible death chamber.
Miss Helen STRICKLES of Topeka handed out fortunes in a nutshell. When
supper was served the guests were seated on the floor in a circle, with
a Jack-o-1antern in the center and each took their turn telling ghost
stories.

Halloween Party Con't.
Interview with James B. WIGGINS, 1984 and 1985:
"After Hattie and I were married; and were living here at this house,
we had a Halloween party. Janet FINK, a teacher boarding down at Mrs.
HARRISON's-~Hattie's aunt down below here--and Hattie put on a Halloween
party. They had the people come into the house through an outdoor cellar
entrance. In the basement, we had a'cornshock, and a black cat yowling
back in there, and we told ghost stories. Some of the girls screamed and
yelled. They had to come on.through another dark cellar 'and come up some
steps. When they came up those steps, they were greeted with someone
shaking~' hands with them--a kid
glove filled with sawdus t--s limy! Oh, they
screamed and yelled! They took them through this dark room upstairs. In
this upstairs, they had a bed with a sheet over something. There was an
old hermit--an old outlaw who lived down below, and someone was telling a
ghost story about him--that he had died and they boiled the meat off his
bones. Under this sheeted bed was what
.
.was supposed to be this old hermit.
We told some terrible ghost stories!"
"There weren't 30 people at the party. I recall the following people
who attended:

In 1854, while the first cabin was being built in Lawrence, my grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph H. HARRISON, came to Douglas county and homesteaded in the Barker neighborhood, later buying more land. There are three
houses on this land which was inherited by the only two children out of eight
to live to maturity. They are Mrs. Lucy J. ROSE and J.M. HARRISON, who each
have homes there. I live in the other house which was built by my grandparents to replace their first log house. The house we live in has been ·the

THEPRESIDE~T'A;MRSBAGE
As our year draws to a close, and as I complete my term as your president,
we should take stock of our accomplishments as they relate to our goals as a
genealogical society.
First, as to numbers, we have nearly doubled our membership in the past
two years.
With 118 members two years ago, we increased this to 146 'members
last year, and now we stand at 222 members on our rolls.
More important than
numbers
however, are our achievements as a society, and the help we have
provided to individuals and the public generally.
What'we have accomplished
is not the work of anyone person alone, nor is it the work of the board-excellent as it has been.
Our accomplishments are the result of concerted
efforts of the members, each contributing his or her special talent.
A mouthpiece of our organization is, of course, our quarterly, "The
Pioneer," which has been most capably edited by Judy Sweets, assisted by
many contributors.
This is an outstanding publication, one which we proudly
distribute to individuals and societies allover the United States.
Also
widely distributed, and of no less importance, is the quarterly Newsletter,
edited by Jane Wiggins.
This serves as a "bulletin board" of events, both
within and without our Society, which are of interest to the membership.
,
We have had excellent speakers and programs during the pas~ year, among
them our own Dr. Thomas Gorton speaking on "Researching Pennsylvania Records;"
Dr. Robert Hudson from the K.U. Medical Center speaking on "Nineteenth Century
Medicine;" Haskell's Vice President Charles Geboe speaking on "Haskell Junior
College" in this; the year of the Haskell Centennial; Chuck King from Second
Impressions presenting a program on old photographs, entitled "Heritage;"
Mary Burchell, from the ~.U. Law Library, giving US an overview of the
facilities there and describing how these could aid genealogists; and Helen
King from Topeka giving us an evening on "Using Maps in Genealogy."
In
addition, our programs included two panel discussitins in which the panel was
composed of members of our Society:
Donald Vaughn, Judy Sweets, Hugh Stouppe,
Edna Welling, Mary Lou Winchell, and your president.
Our Society was also the
guest of the Topeka Genealogy Society when Attorney General Robert Stephan
spoke on "Vital Statistics Closed to Most," a topic dear to our hearts and
an issue which we have sought to resolve by having Senate Bill 319 become
law.
Thirteen members of our group visited the Legislature in Topeka in
this regard.
On the lighter side, Lawrence Chapman entertained us by playing
the dulcimer, and explaining the instru~~nt and the songs, at our Christmas
dinner.
Other projects this year have included putting the five-generation charts
into book form; continued work on the cemetery book; copying records of
importance to genealogists, including 1875 Douglas County census records,
m.arriage records, and naturalizations; maintaining a booth for two days at
the 1984 "Independence Days," and again for two days at the "Maple Leaf
Festival" in Baldwin.
Special thanks to those who stood in the heat for
the first and in the rain for the second.
In the area of education, I have conducted three sessions, in addition
to the regular meetings, on "Beginning Genealogy" ,at the Lawrence Public
'
Library, and I have spoken on "Why Genealogy'.' to'th'e Eudora Historical
Society and the Osage County Historical Society.
Jane Wiggins has conducted
a monthly mini-workshop for new members, and for those with special research
problems, and these have been most appreciated.
In addition, many of our
members have attended fine area workshops, one of which was that of the
Jefferson County Genealogical Society where we had a table and sold books
and memberships.
The Society was invited to attend the Haskell Centennial Convocation,
and at least a dozen members attended.
Special thanks go to Deanna Miles and Mike Yoder of the Lawrence Journal
World for promotion of our Society and genealogy generally through an article
which appeared on Sunday, September 23, 1984, and to the Lawrence Public
Library and the Douglas County Historical Society for providing space for
our meetings.
'
Genealogy is clearly an activity which exemplifies the old adage, "The
more you put inl:o it the more you get out of it."
The opportunities for
participation in our Society are endless, and I ext~nd my heartfelt thanks
to all of you who attended meetings (monthly, board and comm,ittee); to those
who spent hours on the telephone, or copying records, or planning and thinking;
th~se who recruited new members; who walked miles through brambles, snow and
ra1n for cemetery records; those who,drove their cars, wrote, typed, stapled,
pasted, cut, searched, dug for old records, gave speeches, visited, indexed,
studied, and proofread.
The list goes on, but the rewards are boundless:
FRIENDSHIP, TOGETHERNESS, LAUGHTER, HELPING, ACCOMPLISHMENT, PROGRESS, FUN,
SUCCESS.
Who can put a price on these? '
Sincerely,

I

In thls lssue we feature the territorlal period of Kansas (1854-1861). It was
our plan to gather and compile as many. records of this period as possible.
The Territorial days in Kansas were a time of excitement. confllct and turmoil in
which pro-slavery and free-state factions battled each other. slaves traveled the
"Vnderg:round !iai1road"ln search of a safe haven in one of the "free-state towns"
such as Lawrence. and Indians began leaving for reservations in Oklahoma and
elsewhere as their lands were claimed by white settlers from the East. Thls was
also a time of great hardship for fami11es: homes were burned. husbands murdered. children died from cholera and other diseases and wives cooked and cared for
the scores of newcomers who arrlved in the territory every daY.--And then in 1860
came the famine. This was the last straw for many emigrants who packed their
belongings and lef,t,._~~.!... for those who:remained. there was help from agencies
in the Zast who sent food and'other necessltles until the crisis was past. The
records we publish in \,this lss.ue reflect the good tlmes and the bad. We hope:
they w111 glve olU"rea(lers a ,'Detter inslght into Ufe in Territorlal Kansas.

"On Jan 18, 1859 an arrange!llient was made w1.th Dr. John DOY to lead a party of
blacks as tlar as Holton. K.T. as part of the so-called ",underground railroad".
The party consisted of eight men~, three 'women and ~o children, all of whom
had free papers except Wilson HAYS and Charles SMITH, who had been employed as
cooks at the Eldridge House in Lawrence and were known to be free m·en. The party'
. crossed the river at Lawrence and traveled twelve miles from Law~ence in the
direction of OStaloosa whe~~ they were overcome by about twenty armed men who
arrested Dr. DOY and imprisoned him in the St. Joseph, MO jail on the charge of
abducting slaves from that state. He was sentenced to the penltentiary for five
years. It was well known that the charges were fal~e. and that Doctor DOY had

Cousen Charles:
I am now seated beside my old chest on the floor trying to write you a few
lines using the lid to writeuppon not a bad Desk for the country. Some of your
wares would sell here well at good price. The merchants are getting in some
Furniture and it sells like hot cakes. I have slept on the Ground for want of a
bedstead untill within the last three Weeks. I made a rais (1) of a cot bed- .
stead and thought I was in Town sure. I have been l1.veing all about since (I)
camel'1ost of the Time have been teeming ~'Jit Was first rate business in the spring
the Emi~ration WaS very great. Some of the Boats would land three hundred fore .
this part of the Teritory. It Was 45 miles that they had to go by Land after
leaving the boat. I had as good Teem as runs on the rout and I used to get as
many Pasengers as I could Haul evry Time at 12.50 and allmost allways got a load
back.
The Eastern men not being used to New Country. would go as far as Lawrence.
see the Elephant. stay over night and put back 1.n the morn1.ng. I d1.dn't like to
see them go back b,ut was willing to take all the Dimes I could (honorably) out of
them. I made it pay. I didn~t come out for nothing. I am a going to make fair
i~est on my package money at least.
I now have sold out the Team and gon over
across the R1.ver amongst the Indians. Have rented the same Land that was Fenced
and well cultivated. Everyting is up to the highest notch. Corn is worth $2".
per bushel. Potatoes 'can't be had. I calculate to rais one thousand bushel corn
_____ potatoes. I can't stop to write much now. I must go to work. It looked
like rain but has cleared off now.
'
t

I

I would like to write' all I know about the Teritory and will next Time- the
news are scarce now-l suppose When our Missouri Legislature assemble, there will
be some-l expect that they will have a great Time-I suppose you have heard what a
Time we had at the Election-the Red Mouths carraid evrything and expect to do as
they choos. I don't know but they may-that remains to be seen. I will send you
the papers that you can know what is agoing on heare but you will have to make a
liberal allowance for what you read-I sent you one Paper-must write whether you
received or not-I am getting tired and must close.
Please except these few imperfect lines.
From your affectionate Cousen.

DIVORCES in TERRITORIAL KANSAS
by Judy Metcalf Sweets
The Douglas County Divorce records like other records of the
Territorial period are widely scattered. It would seem that one
would have the greatest success in finding divorces of that period
'at the, county 'levei.~However, our search at the county courthouse
yielded only two divo~ces for the period' before 1861. These were
found in Journal A in ;the probate court at the Judicial and Law ,
Enforcement Center in:Lawrence. It 1s possible 'that others were)

But. surprisingly the largest number of TerrItorial divorces we "
located were in ~he Legisiati veJburnais of the Tetri torial period.•
_These Jo~nals, ~sually enti tIed i'PrIvate Laws of Ka.nsas", can
be seen at the Urltvers-1-tY_J)f Kansas Law Library and at the Kansas
Stiit'e, 'B;1rs,tbr'ical Society .~~' '-.=~, , iIn an article written by Cecil Howes of the Kansas ~ Star, Oct
), 1942, he wrote: "It may surprise Kansans to know that Kansas
Terri torialilie,gtslatures granted divorces. Since Kansas became a
state, the district courts have had exclusive jurisdiction over'
divorces. But it was not always thus. In 1855, when the first
legislature met, it passed a law fixing the causes for divorce
and directed, in Chapter' 62. that any court of chancery shall have
jurisdiction in divorce and alimony." "The courts corresponded to
-the present distri"ct',courts in ·Kans'asand the' clrcuit courts in
Missouri ."

The Le;glslatI:ve . .Assembly of the T~rritory ,of Kansas in 1859 outlined
the causes for divorce-;as:

When the defendant at '~he tim,e of his marriage was impotent.
When he had a lawful- ,wife then 11 ving •
When he has committed adultery subs~qqent to the marriage.
When he Willfully deserts his wife and absents himself without
reasonable cause for the space of one year.
5. When after marriage he becomes addicted to habitual drunkenness.,
6. When he 1s guilty of such inhuman treatment as to endanger the
life of his wire..

According to 1'1r. Howes. nThere were seventy-f1 ve d1 vorces granted
by the terr1torial legls1atures of 1858.1859. 1860 and 1861. The
practlce s:topped when Kansas became a state." He stated. "Forty
divorces were authorized in 1860. ln a slng1e sess10n. almost onehalf the total for the four legislatures" ••• "A blll was lntroduced,
referred to one branch or the other of the leglslature with recommendation that it be passed. The bill became a prlvate law and
an actual divorce decree." A separate legislatuve b1ll was requlred
for each divorce. They are not to be found 1n the statute books but
as private laws.
It seems the granting of d1vorces by the leglslature may have been
somewhat of a racket or scandal. Sol Miller, ed1tor of the White
Cloud Kansas Chlef, took notice of the legislation just after the
close of the 1860 sessl0Ji:l_of. the Terri t-or1al legislature. M1ller
wrote:

how many and what_uiarr1ed-persons 1n the territory were not d1vorced- in the late

Mr. ·A. R1chardson ;-- a.u~hor-- of Beyond the Missl ssippl it!' :~8'67 described
on page 147 &amp; 148.tlle e~§e of gettlng a divorce 1n terr1toria1

"Pract1cally anyone asking for a d1vorce could obta1n 1t and 1n every Case both
parties were author1zed to marry aga1n." ••• "I rece1ved a letter from a cit1zen of
Massachusetts~ ask1ng-=wh'e-ther-h1s wife, who was _sp.end1ng the w1nter in Law.renee,
passed by her ma1den or wedded. name, and whether she had app11ed for d1vorce.
Upon examining the· statutes, I learned that she had been divorced for more than
' --==--_ _---'--_ _ __
L s1x months."

One other source of div9rce 1nformation 1s the newspapers of the
terr1torial period-"- __~t!S&gt;se dlvorce petitions that were filed in
th~ '.District court--w-ex-e-_or-ten~'''pul;&gt;::l!l·sheacAl.nvth~ local newspapers.
'The names of those persons who petitioned the legislature
for a d1vorce were generally published as well ,and some "of. them'
appeared on the front page of the earlyLaw~ence newspapers.
Following are theterrrt"o·rt-al divorces and name changes which we
have gathered from the various sources mentioned above. County
of residence is unknown unless so indicated. It is hoped that in
the future add1t10nal divorce records w1ll come to light. We would
appreclate be1ng informed of any divorce actions which we overlooked for the terrltorl-a-l per19d in Kansas.

Until a few months ago it was believed that the earliest naturalization records
still in existence for Douglas Co. were Declarations of Intentions beginning in
1868. However, during a reeent~tr1p to the Kansas State Historical Society in
Topeka we read an unpublished inventory of Douglas Co. records which was done in
the 1930' s by the Works Progress Administration. To __ oar surprise this inventory
stated that declarations of intention for the year 1856-1857 were to be found in
a volume called "Journal A- in the oounty courthouse. Returning to Lawrence, we
searched for this volume and found it not in the District Court office where the
, other Declarations and Petitions are kept but in the Probate court office. All
i thirty four declarations of intentions were copied and are included in this issue.

!

I National
QUite unexpectedly, While looking through the territorial court records at the
Archives-Kansas City Branch, we found many Declarations of Intention
I

for the years, 1855-1858 in the record~books of Judicial District One and Two
for Kansas Territory. (These,were nDp~ed~ are included in this issue).

The "Old" First Judicial District, established in November of 1854 included
Douglas, Doniphan, Atchison. Leavenworth. Jefferson and Calhoun (now Jackson)
oounties. Douglas County became part of JudiCial District Tio as of February
26, 1855 when the Second Jud101al D1striots were def1ned as including election
d1stricts. 1. 2. 3; 4. 5. 6 and 17. (See map below) .,~he court was held at
Teoumseh with Hon. Rush Elmore pres1d1118.

Dear 51.r:
In an art1.cle 1.n the Lawrence nepubl1.can of the 7th 1.nstatlt. headed. "Br1.dg-e
Destroyed". 1.t seems that your reporter has been mis1.nformed relat1.ve to the
facts 1.n the case. It 1.s stated that "the br1.dge (north of Bloom1.ngton) 1.s a
total wreck." 'i'hat 1.s a m1.stake. The br1.dge was 248 feet long. hav1.ng n1.ne
abutments. Three of these are on the south side of the Wakarusa. supporting
sixty feet of superstructure. and the remain1.ng six are on the north side of the
stream supporting 108 feet of super structure. Each of these port1.ons are in
excellent cond1.t1.on. and equal to any we1.ght 11.kely to pass over any road in
Kansas. The part broken down 1.s the 80 feet span over the stream. and that 1.s not
a "total loss". two thirds i.f not three-fourths of the mater1.al. such as flooring.
joist or stringers. bolts. etc. having been carelully separated·and taken· care· of
1.n such a manner as to make them answer the same purpose again. The br1.dge was
1.mperfect. as is stated. be1.ng lower on our side than on the other. However. that
Was not the cause of its giving away. One of the It 1.nch iron bolts broke on the
side that was pronounced to be all rt~ht. The rod Was examined after the fall.
and found to have a flaw. leaving only half inch in thickness of good iron.
In regarci. to the bridge hav1.ng "cost the county some ~1.200". that is also an
error. The great necessity of a bridge on the road from Bloom1.ngton to Lecompton
1.nduced many c1.tizens to subscr1.be for that purpose. When the list was presented
to me. I noticed that it was headed by some bery liberal subscriptions. William
JESSEE 'lIas down ~150~.Qliver BARBER $50; the rest were all smaller. none to exceel1 ~25. 'rhe',amoUnt subscribed for this public improvement Was about ~500. and
Was expended on the bridge--hardly half building 1.t. Subsequently. the county
(as it had done in other cases) appropriated ~400in county orders. which unfortunately were-orilty avall.aO.l.e at; aOout;-slitCt;y~c~'ht;-s-on-tt1e-doliar. and. therefore
amount1.ng v1.rtually only to ~240. The bridge was finished by additional a1.d.
pr1.ncipally. however. com1,ng (~om WilHam JESSEE'. ·who has appropriated more of h1. s
pr1.vate means to the-accompl1.shment of this enterprise than was given by the
county. \fr:t will now req u1.re about 'w20 0 to place the fallen span baCk 1.n a strtlm~.
substant1.al and workmanHke manner. Hop1.ng that you w1.11 please make the__ :·::_-_-:~I;-;f!--:;i).
necessary corrections 1.n this matter. I remain.
'"
1,_
"

Respectfully yours.
F.n; BEl'iKAU
-Reply: vre are obliged to Mr. BE.~AU for h1.s correct1.ons and hope the comparatively
small amount necessary to repair the bridge will be immediately raised.
and the br1.dge restored.--Editor. iiEPUBLICAN."
Note: 'rhe William JESSEE ment1.oned as be1.ng a Hberal subscriber for the
bridge :'l9.S the founder of BLOONINGTON on whose property the bridge was bunt
on the 'tiakarusa. It was believed that he and his two daughters 'Here st1.11
buried beneath the parking lot at Clinton Lake. 'tl1.thin the past year it has
been discovered that the bod1.es of all three had been removed from the
Eloom1.ngton Cemetery to Oak Hill Ce~emtery 1.n Lawrence 1.n the year 1870.

COFFEE SUBSITUTE.
Kansas pioneers had to make do with what they had. When no
coffee beans were available with which to make their morning
coffee, they used substi tutes such as okra, browned wheat·,
sweet potatoes and even corn. Below we.give a recipe whIch
was-actuaYlyused by~the'-parents of C.M. Eliis when they homesteaded in Chautauqua Co. in the 1870's.
This reCipe was
printed in an article by Cecil Howes in the Kansas City Times,
13 IVlay 1942.

/

"Parch or brown field corn in a heavy skillet, stirring
it won't burn, then pour sorgham over it (about the
. ;same amount as for popcorn balls) and heat over fireplace
coals stirring all the time until sorgham has been
,absorbed. Grind the mixture and make coffee."

-~---~---

a

When our subje€t was littIe-less thaI?- sixteen
:, years of age he went with his parents to Missouri, "
'and in 1871, when they came to Kansas, he
!settled in northern Missouri, on the border of
IIowa. However, the following year he settled on.:
a rented farm in Palmyra Township, Douglas:
:County, and this place he operated until, by I
: carefully saving his earnings, he was able to buy:
'a home of his own. In 1884 he bought· the I
place where he has since engaged in farming and '
·' dealing in stock, making a specialty " of raising
I Hereford cattle.
The success that he has at-·
itained proves him to be a man of energy and per- ,
: severance. Everything connected with agricul- I
: ture is of interest to him and, at the organization :
' of the Grange, he became identified with it. He'
is a .stockholder in a grain business at Overbrook,
Kans.
In the locallodgeoftheAncient Order of United
(WOrkll!en Mr. Weimer has held th~ highest of- ~
flces. The Democratic partY' always receives his'.
I support, for its principles represent his ideas as to
! national government. . During his connection
with the school board he served as its clerk. For
six years he was a constable in Marion Township.
November 20, 1879, he married Clemmie, daughter of John and Barbara (Anderson) Bailey.;
They have six children: Guy, Lutie, Ethel, Jay, ,
Earl and Mabel.

!.

raiser of Marion Town;Wp, Douglas County, .
was born in Preble County, Ohio, in 1850. i
He is a descendant of Joseph Weimer, a native of~
Germany, who emigrated to Pennsylvania, set-'
tHng near Harrisburg.
He was one of the
organizers of the Dunkard Church in that locality. i
I At the great age of one hundred and e1everiyears
l
: h~ diedJn Darke County, Ohio. His son Michael, ~
: who was born in Pennsylvania, took up land 1"til
'Randolph County, Ind., where Union City now I
I
stands. Afterward he made his home in Preble I
County, Ohio, where he carried on a grist mill
,and engaged successfully in farming for many
years. For some time he served as a deacon in
the Dunkard Church, in which organization he·:
was active.
I
Daniel, son of Michael Weimer, and father of'
our subject, w~s born in Darke County, Ohio,;
and resided there until 1866, when he moved to' I
Jackson County, Mo. In 1871 he came to Kan-!
sas, settling in Palmyra Township, Douglas Coun-:
ty, where he spent the remainder of his life.
skilled mechanic, he followed the trades of car-I
penter and painter, which he had learned in Day'- :
ton, Ohio, and in which he was considered an ex-I,
pert. Like his forefathers, he worshiped with the \
Dunkards and took an active part in their
labors. He died in:1879, a(fifty-six years of age.
His wife, who bore the maiden name of Martha;
, Alexander, was born in Ohio and died in Kansas;
in 1895, at sixty-three years of age. They were:
, the parents of four children: James H.; Sarah E.,
who is the wife of E. B. Kincaid; Noah S. and
Maggie A., both of whom live in Palmyra Town_~hip.

Journal, Lawrence. Kansas. June 13, 1884, p. 3 Col 2

"Yesterday mornlng there was qulte a stlr ln and about the
probate court room, caused by Marshal Prentlce puttlng ln an
appearance and ~topplng the marrlage of a couple from Baldwln Clty.
It seems that Walter SCOTT, the son of a wealthy farmer ln
Falmyra townshlp. was very naturally averse to havlng hls parents
- settle the qu~otlon of whom he should marry. He attempted to run
away once before wl th Mlss Etta FINNEY, the glrl of hls cholti:e, but
the old gentleman put a stop to It. He apparently gave up the ldea
of acceptlng any glrl but the one hls father deslred.
But Wednesday nlght the whole scheme was knocked hlgher thap a
klte. In the nelghborhood where they 11ve, about flve ml1es south
of Baldwln, was held at the school house a strawberry festlval.
Walter took the glrl of his parent's choice there. But Mlss FINNEY
was also there, and she bestowed on Walter that same sml1e that to
hlm was worth more than all the sweetness of the tables laden with
fruit. He longed to be wlth her above all others, and the deslre
being mutual they soon drlfted together and had arranged for a 11ttle
rlde where they mlght tell each other of the troubles that beset lovers
where the old folks do not approve, and the fire of love that burned
wlthln them and would not be quenched. They took the rlde. but were
followed very soon by the other girl and her frlends. Walter's
horses were the fleetest and he was soon out of reach of his pursuers.
When he and Etta returned to the school house they found that the other
company had gone home. and both knew that the very old Nick would be
to pay. Resolvlng that they may as well suffer for a sheep as a lamb.
the lovers concluded to take the team and drlve to Lawrence and get
married. They arrl ved here about 4 0' clock and put up at the Place
Ihouse where they sat ln the parlor and chatted untll breakfast tlme.
After breakfast the parties started out to get a llcense, and
after golng down to the court house they at last succeeded in flndlng
Judge Foote and were getting ready to have the important knot tied
when the marshal put in an appearance and sent the glrl to a hotel
and took the boy with hlm.
When Mr. SCOTT arrlved he at flrst consented but at last took lt
back and left for hls home leaving the gartles here. The people ln
the nelghborhood where they live were hunting for them most of the
night. and thelr friends were glven a great scare.
Sullivan. the lrrepresslble. took a great lnterest ln them, and
it is reported that, actlng under hls advice, they left for Topeka
·last evennl.g-~here they will be marrled today."

between the Kansas and wakarusa r1vers, on a slope r1s1ng gently from the
valley reaohing from stream to stream, was onoe the town of Franklin, Douglas
County, KS, four miles east of Lawrenoe.

The town-site. seleoted in Ootober 1853 was on the olaim of one. Lewis B. WALLACE.
a strong pro-slavery man. Direotly north from Blue Mound a semioirole of timber
stretohing along the bankS of the two streams between whioh it lay. the fertility
of the soil yielding from 25 to 100 bushels of oorn an aore. all tended to make
this site desirable for the looation of a town.
The old California road leading from westport. MO •• thirty-e1ght miles east.
aoross the wakarusa at Bluejaoket's ford. formed the main street of the town. and
extended west through Lawrenoe and Leoompton.
Three WALLACE boys: Lewis. Clark and John. and Jeremiah CHURCH. popularly known as
"Jerry". a Virginian. and celebrated somewhat as a violinist. were the prinoiple
founders of the town. It was named for the grandson of CHURCH. Franklin HULL.
infant son of Dr. HULL and Mrs. HULL. daughter of CHUB.CH.
It was founded as a pro-slavery town, a rival of Lawrenoe. a free-state strone
hold. No buildings were ereoted. or other improvements made until the year 1854.
In June of that year, immediately after the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska bill.
building began. and soon there were several' houses. among whioh was a blook-house.
ereoted for the keeping of militar.y supplies for the border ruffians from the
border oounties of Missouri. who were fast flooking to Kansas, tog3ther with
foroes from other southern states. with the intent of making Kansas a slave state.
Many from Illinois. PennsylVania and other northern states settled in and near
Franklin. who wished Kansas to be a free state.

I

There were two battles in Franklin. The first was on June 2. 1856. the seoond on
August 12. the same year. These battles were a part of what was known as the
Wakarusa war. whioh began over the killing of a man south of Lawrenoe. in the
latter part of 1855 •• .0.5. HOYT.
In the spring of 1857, hostilities apparently at an end. Franklin took a fresh
start and grew in population. buildings and business. The town was inoorporated.
Dr. R.L. WILLIAMS. who oame to the town from Illinois. and who afterwards served
as a delegate from Douglas oounty. to the Wyandotte oonvention. ereoted a storyand a half stone store building and plaoed a stook of merohandise therein. A
steam saw-mill. eighteen horse-power. in operation and turning out 5,000 feet of
lumber a day. also paS3ed into the hands of Mr. WILLIAMS.~~t. this. time there
were about forty buildings in the town. and more in oontemplation of being ereoted
A stage line from Westpor~~leadin~west. and one from Leavenworth to LeRoy. oounty
seat of Coffey oounty. passed through Franklin ••• "
A two-story frame hotel was operated by Samuel CRANE, a land offioe was established by one of the WALLACE boys. and one of them had a store ••• The population
numbered about 400.
" •••Thomas FEBRELL and Baxter DENNIS were among the preaohers who ministered to
the spiritual needs of the oit1zens, and Pasohal FISH of the Shawnee~ tr1be of
Ind1ans oooas10nally preaohed a sermon there ••• "
J .C. WALTON, ••• 1'I1ss Hattie GRJ:SWOLD~, .....and John C. BRIGGS ••• were among the teaohers
of those early days. Among the 01tizens of Frank11n were the HEBRINGTON boys,
••• Dr. James STILL •• .Dr. R.L. WILLIAMS. In the v101nity of Franklin were the
KENNEDY's the EGGERT's, McFARLAND and GARVIN fami11es,and a host of other good and
true oitizens who served their day and generat10n;
For several years the town oont1nued to live, but gradually the people moved to
other plaoes. the bu1ldings were torn down, or moved to other plaoes. or abandoned. Some of the houses were moved to Lawrenoe, among wh10h was the hotel,
onoe known as the Plaoe house of New Hamps~1re Street. The sawm1l1 was moved to
Jefferson oounty. on Mud oreedk and was operated there for many years by Dr.
WILLIAMS. "The, post. off10e Was disoont1nued 1n Novermber, 1867. The townsite
passed 1nto the hands of Dr. WILLIAMS and was operated by b1m for many years as
a farm. About f1fteen years ago the stone house was torn down. The basement and
foundation of the old struoture, over wh10h there stands a commodious and oomfortable frame dwelling, 1s the only vest1ge remain1ng of the onoe prosperous and
lively town."

Fountain C. TOMBERLIN. being duly sworn. saith: I reside on Section 11 •.
township 15. range 19 east; have resided there five years next June; am acquainted with petitioner: he now lives in Lydins county. In 1856 petltioner
resided on a claim wlth his faml1y about one mile south of my claim: he moved
there in the fall of 1854. he was a farmer. In relation to petltioner having
sustained loss by the difficulties. I know that he had the property. and that
it was taken or gone by some means or other. I was frequently at petitioner's
house while he was a neighbor. In June or July. 1856. CHAPMAN was obliged to
leave the Territory with his family for personal safety. He was threatened by
the Free-State men. and deemed it safer to absent himself. CHAPMAN was understood to belong to the opposite party. During that season the same species of
terrorism and driaing out of settlers was exeroised by both parties alternately
as they happened to have the physical poser or control over the vicinity. CHAPMAN left in a hurry. leaving his property in care of August KROUSE. nOw living
at Centropolis. I know. from observation before CHAPMAN went away. that he had
·in his house good household furniture. such as chairs. beddlng. furnlture. and
cooking-stove. &amp;c •• viz: as near as I can recollect. 1 stove and apparatus for
cooklng. $)0: 1 sprlng-seat rocklng ohalr. $10: common one. $3; sltting chairs.

Maokinaw blankets; home-made blankets. twilled; 4 or 5 qul1ts and bed-oovers:
know nothlng of shetts and pl110ws; had a large ohest and trunk. $4; can't say
anything about gentlemen's or women's clothing. He had medicines. don't know
their value. with glasses. jars. &amp;c.: don't know partlculars. He had medical
books. forty or fifty books of all kinds. histories. &amp;0.; flat-lrons: 2 lron
wedges: chopplng axes. $1.50; 1 large tea salver. Had neat chlnaware. $15 or
$20: knives and forks. don't know how many: spoons: meal ohest. $2 or $3: palls
and buckets. and such things. I saw harness and swlngletrees there after he
left. worth $25; 1 lot of potatoes; had a fine crop of potatoes. His potatoes
were ln two patches. equal. together. to a quarter of .an acre. probably more.
worth $50. He had elght aores of corn growing ln the field. worth $10 an aore:
a patch of beans growing. can't say how muoh. worth $20: vegetable garden.
worth $50. He had a fenoe. and I know it was gone. about forty rods; the proportion taken or gone lias worth i30. Don't know how many chl okens. he had as
many as 300. worth &amp;2 per dozen. Had grapevines. an acre or an acre and a half.
set out that spring. :1856. and were growing; in the fall I saw three of them
grow1ng. the rest had been all taken out; don't know thelr value. Know nothing

rloor I ) sets of abstetr10al. supporters. Dld not see the r1fle gun after he
went away. Dld not see him when he left. He went away ln a hurry. afra1d he
would be murdered or damaged. His near neighbors advised him to leave. as his
life was in danger; I considered it so: not by any of his near neighbors. but
from others was the danger. Don't know that he took any of the property away
with him. In the fall of 1856 I saw the harness in possesslon of Amos MOORE. who
resides about a mile from me. Never saw any of the property afterwards. The
oorn WaS destroyed by stock and bodies of armed men. Potatoes made use of by
indivldua1s--dug out of the ground. Don't know that Mr. KROUSE ever took away
any of the property. The house WaS broken open and the property taken in September. 1856.

THE SHAWNEE

By treatles of June 1825. the Shawnee were removed to a tract
of land "50 miles square s1tuated west of the State of Missour1
and wlth1n the purchase lately made from the Osage." This tract
1ncluded all of Douglas County except Grant townsh1p. (See map
on lnslde of back cover). Aided by the miss10narles who settled
among them. the Shawnees soon were livlng a relat1vely comfortable
l1fe wlth log houses and well cultivated fields. The Shawnees
'eventually estab11shed a form of government arid ~n the1r elect10n
of 1855, they elected the follow1ng members: ,- ,OO.uN..eIlI.: Henry BLUE
J~CKET. DOUGHERTY. TOOLEY. Simon HILL and TUCKER:.
CLERK: Matthew

The government retroceded to the trlbe land amountlng to about

1829. The Delawares clalmed to be the pareC.,t.L·,stem"from.which
the numerous Algonquln trlbes descen¢ed and were referred to by
other tribes as "Grandfather". Thelr earliest known home was in ,tke
the lower part of Pennsylvanla and New Jersey.

In 1818. the Delawares rellnqulshed their clalm to the
State of Indiana and were assigned lands ln Mlssourl where they
removed to the James Fork of the Whlte Rlver untll the treaty of
1829 when that tract Was rellnquished and they were granted lands

The U.S. government erected a grist and saw mill for the
Delaware and furnlshed them cattle. Some of the Delawal1ebecame
farmers. but the majority subsisted chiefly by huntlng and serv1ng

DUDLEY

HASKELL~--c-'-

Haskell Institute commemorates "me·'iUindr·ed years of operation in

.the' story of Indian schools reaches back to 1879.

19~5,~­

In that year a law was passed
______ --../- est'ablishing industrial training schools for the youth of Indian tribes.

The first school was near Carlisle, Pennsylvania and directed by the original
promoter of Indian education, Captain Richard H. Pratt. Plans for additional schools
in more central locations were soon being developed. In July, 1881 the Lawrence
Tribune observed that Lawrence had a good chance to be selected as the site of one
of these schools.
Major James M. Haworth, Inspector of Indian schools, was to decide where to
place the schools. As an inducement to place a school here, local citizens worked
hard in the summer of 1882 on a fund-raising campaign which netted $lO,OOO!which
was used to purchase a 280 acre farm. The farm was offered as a campus for an Indian school and by the end of the year Haworth decided to locate a school here.
In 1883, architect John G. Haskell prepared plans for two dormitories and a
school building and work began on them in the fall. His brother, Dudley C. Haskell
was then Chairman of the,.Indian Affairs Committee in the House of Representatives.
He was an advocate of industrial training schools as worthwhile solutions to the
Indian question. By 1883, Dudley Haskell was a rising Republican politician and a
member of the powerful Ways and Means Committee. When Dudley Haskell died on December 16, 1883 from a chronic kidney disease known at that time as Bright's disease,
he was a relatively young man.
The Lawrence Journal stated four days later "Probably at no time in the history of our city has a death brought such universal sorrow and regret as that of
our deceased statesman." Dudley Haskell's life left a distinct memory of his value
and inspired a deep initial interest in 'the cause of Indian education which was assessed in the September 21, 1884 Lawrence Journal,. It stated that Dudley:

�109
"'studied the Indian question closely • • • had he lived he would have
accomplished a vast amount in aiding the. cause of Indian education:.l11
The newspaper spoke of the choice of Haskell as a name for the Lawrence Indian school
as being "a merited compliment."
Today Lawrence residents think of the name "Haskell'! and the Indian Junior
College as unit~d which in one way ~epresents the commitment of the people of this
area to Indian education. The Centenn:i.al Committee at Haskell has brought in
many special programs and 'helped all of us to see the great div~rsity and rich
culture of Native Americans. These Centennial activities are also leading to a
rebil:;th of local support and interest in this federal school.
~,re invite your part:icipation in these activities.
We hope you will visit the
exhibit, "Haskell: 100 years" at the Watkins Community Museum. Other centennial
!3,ctivit:j:es upcoming are, "Native American Works from Woolaroc, The Frank Phillips

Last Saturday evening Fred Ingalls. a Modoc. a bright and
interesting boy of thirteen years of age died after an illness
of two weeks. He belonged to that tribe that defied so stubbornly
1n the lava beds of Oregon the attempts of our government in '72-3
to send them to their reservations and finally were starved out and
ob11ged to cap1tulate but not until they had treacherously put to
death our Un1ted States comm1ssioners. General Candy and Dr. Thomas
who were attempt1ng to make a treaty with them. For this act their
leader Captain Jack and three of his followers were executed. The
tribe was then sent to the Lanpan Agency. I.T •• near Baxter Springs
Kas. and were for several years under the influence of those
consecreated and honored missionaries. Asa and Emmeline Tuttle.
Since their removal. however. the mortality among them has been great
and many have d1ed.
Fred was the last of five brothers. his father and mother having
also d1ed. He was a very bright. interesting boy. quick at numbers.
readily grasping ideas. speaking English well. of an acttve. nervous
temperament but never seemlng very strong or rugged slnce he came.
It ls sald that he planted the germs of disease 1n the territory
before com1ng here by the klnd of gypsy 11fe he led. camp1ng out
and sleep1ng 1n the open a1r. Monday we lald blm to rest 1n the
11ttle Ind1an cemetery and the serv1ce at the grave. w1t~ the long
row of school mates and fr1ends standing by with reverent ~ooks and
upllfted hats pay1ng the last mark of respect and love to the1r
young school fellow was touch1ng and 1mpressive. It 1s the f1rst
death that has occurred at the Inst1tute for n1ne months. There are
four other members of the tr1be here. a daughter of Scar Faced Charley
who was w1th Capt Jack at the massacre of the commlss10ners. and three
~oys. one called Asa Tuttle. from the miss10nary. a very bright,
·lnterestlng boy.

23. 1868. MosesKeokuk. Chief of the Sauk and Fox tribe was jalled
overnight in the Lawrence jail with three companions. MO-ko-ho-ko. Ka-ka-pe-quode
and Muscoe-tah. for the offense of "going to washington. DC." They were on their
way there to see the "Great White Father" to protest the treaty p,:'oclaimed
October 14. 1868 whereby the Sauk and Fox lands of Osage Co •• KS were ceded to the
lI:overnment where it "went to settlers in lots of 160 acres. at not less than ·$1.50
per acre."
The U.S. Commissioner of Indian Affairs. Charles Mix when he learned of their
proposed visit to ~ashington. had adVised Thomas ~urphy. Indian Superindendant
for Kansas that no d.elegation of Indians "in your superintendency will be allowed to visit this place during the present fiscal year ••• for the reason that there
are no funds at the disposal of the Department ••• to use to defray their necessary
expenses. Keokuk when read this statement replied that he had money enough to
defray this expense and left with five others for Lawrence. Ks in November of 1868.
Agent Wiley followed and made an aff1davit for the arrest of Keokuk and the other
chiefs. The case was brought before the U.S. Commissioner. W.F. Montgomery and
was set for the next term. Keokuk would not pay bail and was ordered to Jail.
However. he eventual+y did reach his destination according to the New ~ Tribune
14 Deci.ember 1868 issue: "

and fringed with buckskin strings a foot long. Two of the chiefs wor~
ne~klaces of nails o_f grizzly bear's claws, strung on an otter skin. These

the open prairie, until he could I.uilel a house for himRelf. At that time I I'
had some conversation with Jones, after 1'111'. Ellisog had told me be had
been to my cabin, lLud had adviselLme to leave it, possibly for fear Jones
aud his party would turn me out by force. Mr. Jones, in conversation,
acknow ledged that he had threatened to shoot me if he found me in Oakley's cabin again. I returned to the cabin after that, and sent two of my
boys out to arouse the neighbors. 'l'he rest of us went to work to
forti(y the cabin, so thut we m~ght defend it, by loading our guns and
knocking ont some chinks between the logs to put our guns through.
I found written Oil the cabin door, "Yon are herel,y ordered to leave
.these premises by 4 o'clock this evening,'" 'l'his was written with
red chalk, but had no signature. About 4 o'clock, J 011es came to the
, cabin, leading a crowd. I went ont and hael a conversation with him.
~ He was allxillllR foJ' me to leave without further trouble, and insisted
" thllt I IJ1UHt leave at all hazards. After cllllsulting my friends, I COII; eluded to leave the cabill; ami we all (lill RO, and went ofl' from it for

claim, and we then went on the cilliru again and occupied it. I went
..M my. share of the claim Bhortly after Mr. Oakley did, and I commenced building a house. In the conversation, at. the time Mr. Han·cock. W&amp;8 turned out of the house he was living in, Mr. Jones told me,
·when.! threatened to apply for civiL redress, that Judge Lecompton
,wL\S·interested in the claim. In September last, an injunction was
served upon me, issued by Judge Lecompton, forbidding me to commit any more waste by cutting timber on this land; and the case is
. still before. his court, and I have ever since been under that injunotipn.. After my house was burned, I went to Tecumseh, and uilplied
to. the grand jury for redress against these persons for having burned·
my house an{l threatened my life, but they refused to give me any.
,hearing. This was before the county lines were established. Attorney General Isaacs told me there was no law in regard to burning
'iwuseB _or mobbing persona, and they had no jurisdiction over it:

A LET·TER FROMP.ALMIEiA. TOWNSHIP IN 18.59--

Pralrle Clty. P.O. Douglas Co •• Ks
July 11th 1859
Hon. El1 If. Prlce.' Phl1a.·· Pa'
Dear Slr
Permlt me to address a few 11nes to you. on a subject however. on whlch lt
appears we feel allke. I am a mlsslonary of the Moravlan. (Unlted Brethran
ohurch) and have been ln the Terrltory ever slnce 1846. wlth a short lnterruptlon.
I have seen the operatlon on the frontler among the semlclvl1lzed Indlan and have
seen the Indlan ln hls orlglnal state. And havlng been at the federal Clty for a
number of tlmes about Indlan affalrs and havlng made the acqualntance of many
agents for the Indlans. I recelved conslderatle lnslde lnto that branch of Government. And when courts were establlshed ln thls Terrltory I made lt an object to
learn ln how far the Indlan would be protected by It. But. alasl all ls calculated to exterminate the Indlan and destroy or hlnder all the ggod whlch ls
done by benevolent Socletles. The master stroke. however. to accompllsh·the
object has been done a few weeks wlnce by the expoundlng of the laws ln relatlon
for the protectlon of the Indlans. It ls declded by the U.S. Supreme Court for
thls te~rltory. that there ls no law ln exlstance. by whlch a person can be
reached\1). who trespasses on the Indlans rlghts and that the U.S. has no rlghts
to prooecute a person maklng a settlement on Indlan's land.
.
For two years I followed up suoh cases. havlng seen hundred of cords of wool
carrled away. bul1dlng timber and ralls. Have seen how the Indlan so11. was
cultlvated by lntruders. houses bul1t on thelr land and maklng the effoltto drlve
the Indlan from hls own home. I thought lt lmposslble that person. gullty of
such cr1mes. and when 4 to 5 wltnesses stand ready to testlfy to It. should be
dlsmlssea and yet some 20 such cases were a1smlssed. that have made settlements on
not more than 4 sectlons of Indlan land and besldes these I saw about 50 other
cases dlsmlssed. My haart fal1ed me and I was ready to cry: "Lord lt ls enough
now. take away my llfe for I am no better than my fathers." I had no more hope.
for lf the Indlans can not be proteoted. for the averlesloness7 of the whlte man
• lf there ls no penalty that he has to fear. ·every stlck of tlmber wl11 be taken
from the Indlan. he wl1l be harraseed day after day. and I have already wr1tten to
the offlcers of my church that I conslder the mlsslon work closed ln Kansas and
that I were ready to return home.
But strange as lt may appear. lt ls so never the less that my mlnd recased to
the east. I felt assured there was nO,'hope ln the west of a reactlon. ln the
Indlan's behalf. but I had to belleve. If the east could only be enllghtened on
the Indlan treatment and thelr wants. they were not so corrupt. but would yet
rise up for the rescue of the Indlan: If there were only a man of splrlt and
abll1ty to revele and arouse them. That ls my only hope: And lt was cheerlng
beyond measure when a few days ago. on a vlslt ~o the Ottawa Indlans. I learned
of my fr1end John JONES. that there were socletles formlng for that purpose. I
read the proceedlngs of the meetlngs both of N.Y. and Phlld. I rejolnced at the
splrlt manlfested ln the resolutlons. I read your remarks and a hope gleaned up
ln my darkened vls1on. that the wlcked and destructlve course now pressed?
towards the Indlans. may yet be arrested. If we were only left alone wlth them
we could do much for thelr good. but the ru1nous course has gathered strength by
lts age. and power by popularity and the missionary can now only think of how to
remove the evil and he could see no way to accompllsh It. But the popular voice
can. I do not expect much from christlan denomlnations in thls dlrectlon. the
unlted masses can only effect It •. And. from the bottom of my heart I glve you
God's speed. "Come ,over and help usl"
I would now suggest that ln my oplnlon. you ought to lnvestlgate or see lt
done. or at least age tate It. whether lt be a fact. that there ls no law or
statute by whlch one can reach trespassers on Indlan rlghts. I know well that
there is a penalty of one thousand dollars agalnst maklnga settlement and e.
on Indlan lands • .But Judge Pettett declded "that slnce the land belongs to the
Indian and not to the U.S. the U.S. has no rlght to. create a revenue out of that
whlch does. not belong to it. that the Indlans should bring the suit. "Well we
dld by lnjunct10n and by lndlctment for the Indlans and for the U.S. but nothlng
would do'. And a Indlan to br1ng sult. ln hls name 1s nonsense • . How can a ward
sue? Yet I am not a lawyer and do therefore not understand the law.
Hop1ng that these llnes may flnd favor.
I am. very respectfully yours.

ON. JOliN CRIMP WATTS, who has
made his home in Kansas since the fall. of
1856, was born near Plymouth, Devonshne,
England, September 3, 1835, a son of John and
Elizabeth (Crimp) Watts, natives of the same
shire. His father, who was the son of a stone
masen, leamed that trade at an early age and
after a t;ille began to take contracts. While engaged i" filling a contract he accidentally fell from
the belfry of a church and was so injured that hei
died six months later. Besides his wife (whol
came to Kansas and died here at the age of fifty-:
six yt;::.r~) ;-.e left four children, of whom John I
Crimp is the oldest and the only 5urvh-or. Isaac, I
the secone: son, was a soldier in the British
army and served in India, hu: resigned, came to'
America and settled in Kansas, where he died.
Thomas, who was also a soldier in India, came
to Ka:JS3S in the early days and remained here
until18i9, when he went east, and since then all
trace of '~'m has be~n lost. Mary, the only daugh- i
ter, married A. Woods, and died in Lawrence.
After his father's death our subject was ap-;
prentic~d to his partner, with whom he remained I
until he was eighteen. In 1853 he came to
America on the sailer "Rose," and landed in
Quebe;: ~fter a voyage of eight weeks. Going to
Cleve1a::;1, Ohio, he worked as a stone mason
and hric:'12.yer. In 1854 he went to Chicago and
Waukegon, Ill., in both of which places he found
employment and began contracting. In the fall ,
o[ 1856 be qme to Kansas. He was then a young'
man of twenty-one years. With all the enthusi- :
asw of youth
began life in a new country
amid hardships and difficulties. Going to Pottawatomie County he took up the first claim near r
Louisville, and there he built a house and made;
improvements, retaiuing the place for four years.
As he passed through Lawrence he had noticed
some stone buildings, and thinking it might be
possible for him to secure work, he returned to

this city in February, 1857, and began contracting a::td building. In order to hold his claim on
Rock Creek, every six months for two years he
made a· trip to it, starting from Lawrence on foot
at noon and w::lking twcnty-five miles tbat day,
and twenty-nine the next, reacbing the land after
dark. Four years after be had settled in Lawrence a m::1D offered him $1,000 for it. He accepted
the offer, deposited tbe money in a bank which
failed three days later, entailing a total loss to
him. Undiscouraged, however, he continued his
work as contractor, and in time became successful, he and his uncle, Abraham Watts, being
partncrs. He built the Miller block, G. A. R.
building, Poehler block. tbe grocery building
owned by Jobn Jones, and many residences i:J :
this city. About 1890 he practically retired from i
business, although since then he has consen ted ,
to take a few important contracts, among them:
tbat of the library building in the UniYersitr of i
Kansas (1894), and the Fowler shops at the university (1898).. He is the owner of considerabie I
valuable, property in Lawrence, and bas dealt ex- I
tensh'ely in real est"te. During the antebellum I·
days he experienced all the terrors oi border warfare, and remembers well tbe pe.rils of tbe Quan- I
trell ra'id that brought deatb and disaster to the i
people of Lawrence. At the time of the Price'
raid he was mustered into Company A, Third i
Kansas Militia, under Captain Wheeler as corporal, and went with his regiment down to the
Blue.'
In Lawrence Mr. Watts married Fannie,
daughter o{ Thomas Collier, who came frolll
Pennsylvania to Lawrence in 1857. They be·came the parents of six children, of whom Mary
died at fourteen years, and the others are at
home. Mr. Watts voted the Republican ticket
until the Tilden campaign, since which time he
has been a Democrat. He is serving his third
term as chairman of the Democratic county committee. For three terms he represented the third
and iourtb wards in -the city council, 'where he
was chairman of the committee on streets, alleys
and bridges. For two years he held the office of
,street commissioner. On the Republican ticket,
in 1874, he was elected to tbe legislature, receh'ing a majority Of six-hllllOreQoverAlexanaer

passage of a bill assessing property and stock at '
the place of their location. Not wishing to be

sent hack 'all passes presented to him~ For two
years he was a director of the state penitentiary
under Governor Glick. After becoming a Demo- I
crat he was a candidate for sheriff and treasnrer I

U;~~l 19~ o~'r ch~;ch· had \ee~' known

-

as Willow Spr1ngs. I t stan.,,,
1n 1869 as a part ~f the Lawrence Circuit and later as a part cf the
Eudora Circuit. In 1905 Deer Creek(now Stull) and Willow Springs comprised a circuit.
~ext we became a full-time appointment and the
name was changed to Worden, for the community in which our church is
located, rather than the township. The town of Willow Springs was an
important stop on the Santa Fe Trail, was located 5 miles northeast of
Worden(where the German Baptist Church is now located). The Willow
Springs postoffice was closed November I, 1900.
Worden's history as a post office address(although we still get
mail addressed to Worden, Kansas)is found in KANSAS POST OFFICES by
Robert W. Baughman: "A post office was es tab lished on September 22,
1884. John F. Schott was the first postmaster. This farming community
is located east of Globe in south
Douglas County. The post office
was discontinued on May 31, 1895; reopened September 9, 1896, but was
permanently closed on July IS, 1904."
The question of where Worden got its name seems to have two possible
answers. I am told by Raymond Schott, grandson of John Fredrick Schott,
first and only Worden postmsster(this postoffice was located on the
Fred Turner farm)that close to Oldenburg, Germany, where the Schott
family came from, was a.town by the name of Worden. The Schott family
had conections with the Worden Church, Miss Gertrude E. Schott was a
member from 1909 until her death November 25, 1942. Two children of
Hugo and Ethel Schott were baptized March 30, 1913; their namea were:
Lola and Victor, grandchildren of the postmaster.
If Mr. Schott was consulted about the name for the new postoffice,
it-~y well have been named for Worden, Germany. However there is
;nother possiblity: ''Lorenzo J. Worden, born April 13, 1828, in
Stephentown, N.Y. a descendant of Peter Worden of Clayton, England.
Young Lorenzo was educated at Ithaca and Elmira Academies and taught
school for eight years. He secured further education at Alfred
University. On tour-through Virginia and North &amp; South Carolina he
witnessed the violence of slavery, and was determined to come to
Kansas to help make it a Free State. He married Jane E. Wormley,
June 7, l85~ and taught school one year to provide necessary funds to
go to Kansas and participate in the struggle for freedom. They arrived in Lawrence, October 27, 1855. He located on a claim one mile west
of Lawrence, and farmed until 1862, when he entered the office of internal revenue as chief clerk and assistant assessor for the State of
Kansas, which pOSition he retained until 1870. He gained considerable respect in that office, and was elected state senator. He was
made chairman of the committee on assessments and taxation. In 1873
he was appointed postmaster in Lawrence, second largest post office in
the state. He was re-appointed by President Hayes, upon the almost
unanimous petition of the City, in 1877. Mrs. Worden was a woman of
fine intellectual qualification and finished education. Truly it may
be said, never did wvman more devotedly sympathize with her husband,
nor husband more affectionately appreciate the virtues of a good woman
than have Mr. &amp; Mrs. Worden."
Much more has been written of Mr. Worden. In 1868 he purchased a
t section of land just north of the Howard Broylea farm. Let us now
look at the second possiblity of where Worden may have gotten its name.
The fact of Mr. Worden oWlling land in this community, being in the
Postal System, and a man of considerable prominence, would lead us to
believe that, in seeking a name for the new postoffice. they might well
have turned to the Honorable Lorenzo J. Worden, teacher, farmer, abolitionist, assessor, state senatori and postmaster.
''Worden Unincorporated" is only a spot on the map to the traveler's
eye, or to those speeding down Highway 56(20th century Santa Fe Trail).
If they blink their eyes, they may miss it completely! However, to the
neighbors a~d friends of those tw~ places still carrying the.name
Worden, Worden Ag. Service, and Worden United Methodist Church, they
pleasant placea to stop. 'Vorden Unincorporated" will remain on the
map and Jear to the hearts of many, while Echo, Willow Springs, Weaver,
Franklin and countless other "hopeful cities" have disappeared.
The final chapter on where Worden got its name may not yet be written, but at least we now have two possiblities.

There have been several German settlements in Douglas County
Kansas since 1854. Most were situated in four or f.1 ve distinct'
areas of the county,:; Stull (Dear Creek Settlement) in the NW:
Eudora in the East: Worden in the South: Clearfield (Capt's creek):
and Lawrence.
The Pennsylvania German immigration into Douglas County began
by 1855 and the first D~kard Church was organized in 1858. The
EBERHAR'r and ULRICH fam'flies were two of many who settled in the
Willow Springs area. Some of those German families who settled in
the area of present-day Stull were: HILDENBRAND, GRESS, FRICKER,
HElL, HOUK, BAHNMAIER, etc.
In 1856, three members of a German Immigrant Settlement (or
Society) from Chicago, called Deutsche Ansiedlungs Verein (or New
Settlers Committee) were sent~out~':}as:::-B:rdo'ca:-t;1on commi ttee to chose
a townsite for a German settlement. The three men were: H. HEIMANN,
F. BARTELDES and C. SCHEIFER. Land for the settlement at presen,tday Eudora was deeded to the SOCiety by Chief Paschal FISH. Up
until the late 1800's the German language was used in churches and
and other gatherings of the Germans in that area.
In Lawrence, many of the German merchant's stores of the last
century were concentrated in the 700 and 800 block of Massachusetts
St., such as stores owned by: William WIEDEMANN, who owned a popular
ice cream and confectionary store: Charles ACHNING. hardware bUSiness:
Leo STEINBERG, dry goods: Fred WIEMAN, cigar maker: 'and Carl NEUMANN,
Central Drug Store (also called Deutsche Apotheker). A Turnhalle
(or German gymnastic Club) was established in 1857 on the SW corner
of 10th and N.Y. Sts. Later another Turnhalle was opened in 1867
at 9th and Rhode Island Sts. This stone building still stands today.
A German newspaper , DIE GERMANIA ,&lt;.:we;s:Cf:o.unded in 1877 by Gottlieb
OEHRLE ~nd in later years Henry ALBACH was the editor and proprietor.
Th1,s;:"'W~E9K~y,j'i:.paper was a popular one with local Germans up until the
outbreak of ' World War I when its publication ceased.
By 1890, there were 1,011 persons living in Douglas County who
had been born in Germany, according to the Federal Census. Today
hundreds of Douglas County citizens can trace their descent tr..om,one
or more of the early German settlers in the county.

A ver1table " g hIDd-m1ne fl of genealogical material reoently
oame to our attent10n add we would be remiss 1f we did not share
this wonderful "find" with our fellow genealog1sts. We speak of
the so-oa-lled '''G'erman Alltim~egistrat10n forms" wh10h are in ,the

you f1nd a reg1strat10n form for one of your German ancestors

learn your anoestor's date and place of birth. his or her parent's
names and plaoes of birth. but you will also'see your ancestor's

"When I came ,to this country over )0 years ago. I Came

Accordlng to the Lawrence Dally JOurnal World of February 16,
1918. eleven German " a llens" of Baldwln appeared for regt-stra.tlon
that week. "Some of them have been here slnce yo~.th .((~e.il~g~~,mmdst .
honored cl tlzens. among others-cl vll war veterans."
~,.,
It seems unlmaglnable to us now that these Germans, some of
whom had been ln the Unlted States slnce the 1850's and cons1dered
themselves to be as American as their nelghbors, should be subjected
to the lndlgn1ty of reglstration as an "alien enemy", but it happened here ln Douglas County as well as in thousands of other registration centers across the country.

"That the t~rm "Orphan" in old-documents and, court records often
referred to someone under 21 whose father had died even though
mother was stlll alive; often mother was appointed guardian of
child under 14. and ln most jurisdictions if child was over 14
he could name hls own guardian, and many times it was an older
brother rather than the mother that they selected."

Eudora, in which he was interested, Mr. Pilla:
was elected its president in 1893 a position;
which he has fitIed with the greatest efficiency. I
As a member of the firm of Pilla &amp; Statler he i
also carries on a brick manufacturing business. 'I
In 1894 he erected a beautiful residence on a hill I
overlooking the village and commanding a fine:
view. At the time of the erection of the sweet I
,corn factory, in 1883. he was one of the principal
contributors to the same and became a stockholder in the company. He is a stockholder and
director of the Eudora Creamery Company, and I
,~as a stockholder in the Leis chemical works, of
Lawrence, Kans. When the Kimball plow factory was started in Lawrence he assisted in the,
organizatioti of the company controll.ing the,
plant, but the enterprise did not prm'e successful.
All movements of a progressive character where
the benefit accrui"ng to the people is unquestionable have received' the impetus of his encouragement and practical aid.
Since attaining his majority Mr. Pilla has always been a stanch RepUblican. As mayor of
Eudora, and as a member of the city council, also
as a school director, he has been able f!&gt;'greati y
promote local projects, and has given an.impetus
to the welfare of his town and fellow·townsmen:
In ~ IS7'I he received appointment as postmaster,
and continued to fill the office until 1885. Prior I
to this, from 1865 to IS7I. he served as assistant I
postmaster, having practically the entire Charg~
of the office. Fraternally he is a member of

, of Eudora. ~{r. Pilla was born iil Rhenish Ba~

a good education in the German language. ~ At
~ nineteen years of age he came to the Uriited
!,States, arriving in New York March 26, 18 49.
For fourteen years he remained in the vicinity of ,that city, and during ten years of the time he was
i. employed as cl~rk and bookkeeper for the pub',lishing house ofE. Walker &amp; Sons. In 186 5
I' he c,ame to Kansas for the purpose of entering
i into partnership wit~ his brother F. L" who had

;, firm' became Pilla Brothers, which coiltinued,

Being thus left sole proprietor of the store Mr.
Pilla continued the business alone. In 1872 he
enlarged the building and increased the quantity
of stock carried. His store is now the lorgest of
its kind in Eudora. In connection with the
i mercantile department, for some years he carried
ia stock of.. drugs, but this, is now discontinued.

"The pers1stent efforts' of a portion of thecltizens of Douglas
county to selze upon a portlon of Jefferson, has few parallels. It
ls simply a 6ovetuous desire, without any show of right, and can be
defended on po grounds of reason, justice or good nelghborship.
The only plea set up 1s that Lawrence has made some outlays on roadsprincipally if not entirely in Leavenworth county-on thls side of
the river. and therefore she ought to have a part of Jefferson
countyl Who ever heard of Lawrence doing anything of the klnd not
lmmediately for her own benefit? If she built roads it was because
her citizens believed lt was for thelr lnterest to do so; and they
never lnvested a dime in a road, except for an lnterested purpose;
and they have ten'tlmes over recelved prlnclpal and lnterest for
every cent they have thus expended on this side' of the river.
But we have a counter-clalm to thls plea. It 1s thls. The
citizens of Lawrence have taken wood and lumber from Jefferson
county ln value a thousand-fold more than all the outlays on thls
s1de of the rlver ln roads and everythlng else; and thls wood and
lumber have been taken without renderlng ari equivalent to this
county. These are the facts. Let them be known I
Another claim set up ls, that a portion of thls county is convenient to Douglasl Indeedl If this plea is worth any thing, it is
worth all the State, and Kansas may as well be annexed to Douglas at
once as by piece-meal; for every t1me she extends her boundaries she
w1ll lay alongs1de of contiguous territory, whlch it wlll be convenient to get hold of. This is worse than a robber's plea. It is
the very essence of bad nelghborshlp. If we have a plece of land and
choose to put our bu1ldings for our own convenlence or proflt, on one
edge of the land doew that glve us a rlght to seize upon a portton of
our neighbor's possesslons, simply because they are cont1guous? •• If
the r1ver. God's own llne of divlslon, ls not a stay to thelr greed.
what other line can present a barrler to the1r rapaCity?
1I • • • Lawrence has had ten-fold more aid from the east than any other
place in Kansas-more than all the rest of the State together; and yet
she claims speclal privllegesl A portlon of her ~itlzens want all;
and 1s they had every thing they would stlll ask for somethlng morel

This whole matter is in a nut-shell. The terrltory belongs to
Jefferson county. We have kept it ln its lnfancy'at our expense. We
therefore have a just claim in right and equity to 1t. Douglas ha~
none. The r1ver is a natural boundary. thenfore the best one. We
s1mply w~t our rights and good neighborship. noth1ng more."
Note: Act giving Douglas County part of Jefferson Co lands was approved

The first school known of in what eventually became District No. 24, was located near the
center of Sec. I, T. 12, R. 17, on the Ben Kellog place. Some distance northeast of Big Springs
and a little over a half-mile south of the last school site, it was known as "The Old Stone
SchooL" This seemed to be the only name it ever had.
The writer has visited the spot and found the foundation half-buried in leaves but still clearly
discernible, in a wooded and brushy area where deer now roam, but which a century ago was'
open rolling prairie.
Within the enclosure given by some as 24 by 30 feet, but which measures nearer 30 by 36 feet,
lies a large block of dressed stone, and just outside a mound of stones covers what may have heeD
an old well, now filled in as a safety m e a s u r e . · · ·
'
It was built of native limestone with a dirt floor and probably faced south. Later the door was
changed to the east, with a blackboard inside at the west end. The stove stood in the center of the
room with benches arranged around the edges on which at one time, sat 65 pupils ranging in age
from 5 to 25.
.
Two terms of three months each were held each year. Patrick Geelan, a school teacher, came to
Big Springs fromIrel~~ by waY,~f~ew Jersey in 1855, and taught in this school fQuome time-=.

Dear Cousin Alta,
How are youl I am fine and dandy and hope this finds you the same.
I think your pictures look fine. We had all of our pictures taken last
December when we went in to get_vaxanated for the smallpox. We shore
had a mean old teacher. She made about a half a dozen kids stay in for
breathing too loud or missing a word. She got after Joe GaRBUTT and
made him stay in for breathing too loud. A week ago yesterday was my
birthday. I was 15 years old. Aunt Mattie was over that day. Papa
set up a week ago over to HEGERMAN. Mr. HEGERMAN died about one o'clock
Saturday night. Uncle Charlie was over yesterday. Well, I guess this
will be all. Goodby. Answer soon.
From your
Cousin Mable
"

w1fe Christene. During his absence. Christene died while giving
b1rth to daughter, Jenn1e. Jennie was cared for by Chr1stene.' s
parents.
When Frederick returned. he married Elizabeth PIPPERT. They \

age 21 of tuberculosis.
The homestead of Frederick SCHWARTZ is still v1sible on the

and a larger dug-out. which housed the an1mals. This 1s next to
a beautiful. clear, cold-water spring. This farm was passed from
Frederick to son Charles. then to h1s son, Lester and is now
farmed by his son, Don, and grandsons, Greg and Scot.

PRESIDENT '.§ LETTER t

Our Society has made great strides this past year. The membership
has doubled and continues to grow. Our finances were boosted through
a booth at the Sidewalk Bazaar last summer and three rummage sales.
Our library, housed in the Lawrence Public Library, continues to
grow. I extend thanks to all who made these achievements possible.
We have had a variety of guest speakers, as well as speakers from
our own group. These included: Arlene Eakle - Workshop; Ronald
Bremer - Seminar; Jim Martin - "Genealogy in General;" Don Hensen "Incorporation;" Sarah Judge - "Genealogy Fever;" Joyce Hensen "Value of a Good Newsletter;" Edna Welling - "Mormon Records;"
Helmut and Ursulla Huelsbergen - "German Records;" Robert Burt "S ons of the American Revolution;" and Dale Nimz - slide show on
"Old Houses in Lawrence."
I, too, joined the ranks of speakers, glvlng sessions on "Genealogy,
How to Begin," and on IIImmigration, Naturalization and Service Records.
In addition, I spoke at a symposium in St. Joseph, Missouri, celebrating
the 50th anniversary of the National Archives, on IIResearch in Court-_
houses and Alternative Sources," and gave a repeat performance on
this for the Jefferson County Genealogical Society. It was also my .
privilege to speak toa local senior citizens' group on family history
in general.
1I

We increased public awareness of our Society by having a booth at theLawrence Independence DaysCelebration and at the Maple Leaf Festival
in Baldwin. In addition, newspaper updates regarding our cemeterytombstone project continue to interest the public. The logo adopted
this year for wear onshir-ts or jackets has also created a visual
awareness of the Society's presence in Douglas County.
Thanks to our fine editor, we ~ere able to publish four excellent
issues of liThe Pioneer," and always on time! Our Newsletter staff
kept not only members, but also other societies, informed regarding
our activities.
The year also included a trip to Lecompton and Lane University, a
Christmas party and covered dish dinner, incorporation of the Society,
arrangements for bulk mailing, copying records, continuation of the
many facets- of the cemetery-tombstone project, work wi th the 1875
census, and development of five-generation charts.
A note of sadness invaded our IIgenealogy family" this year through
th: death of three members: Hazel Lee Simmons, Terry Koder, and
Ollve Stouppe. They- will be sorely missed by all of us.
My thanks to each of you for your part in our many achievements during
the past year, not the least of which-are the friendships which have
developed as we worked together. Let's continue the good work so that
the coming year will be even more rewarding.
Sincerely,

�2

The following family history of the PAINTER family, written
by F-rances pAIN;TEe CAMPBELL and read at the fifth annual reunion of.
the PAINTER family at Lawrence, Kansas on 12 Sept 1926 was submitted
9Y William M. GUTHRIE, 1151.3 107th St. SW, Tacoma, WA ",,98498. "Thr:o.ugh
·:·nl:·s:mo.ther, Margaret Ruth PAIl~TER GUTHRIE. Mr. GUTHRI~ traces his
descent from: James Montrose 'P,AINTER, b. 25 Feb 187.3, Cass Co. 1'10
and Margaret KINDEB.KNECHT; Johl1' William PAINTER, b. 15 Mar 1846, 1'10
and Sarah Margaret LOWER; Samuel PAINTER, b •. 4 May 1816, d. 1906 KS
and Nancy VANKIRK; and Solomon PAINTER and Mary ADAMS.
OUR PAST
"Sometime in the early part of the Nineteenth Century, and
somewhere in the state of Kentucky, two weddings occurred at two
different times and places. Our interest still centers in those
weddings ~ -_T~e ,first was that of Solomon PAINTER and Mary ADAMS.
There were~'-rour children born to this couple: Samuel PAINTER,
Sophia PAINTER ~ Hannah PAINTER and Isabelle PAINTER.
Since there is no one here but us, I will say that Solomon
PAINTER belonged to the poorer' class of easy g01ng Kentucky far,~ers.
In these days I fear they might be classed as poor wh1tes or Hill
B11l1es. Sophia PAINTER.married Eldredge HUGHES and emigrated to
Missouri; Hannah PAINTER married Samuel HAMILTON and lived in
Indiana; Isabelle PAINTER married a deaf and dumb man named DaVid
ARNETT; and they also liv~d in Indiana. Some of the children of
those families came to Missouri after the Civil War. Whenever you
meet anyone wearing the naine of HUGHES, HAMILTON or ARNETT, go a
lit~le easy and treat them with consideration for they may be. a dear
relative.
.
The other wedding was that of Matthias VINKIRK or VANKIRK as it
was called in after years, and Elizabeth WILSON. She was a distant
relative of Daniel BQONE. Hence our fighting blood. They belonged
to the well-to-do farming class and--if you please--lived in a hewed, double log house and owned a very valuable negro named Dave.
Now please don't tell anyone but there were sixteen children in this
family. I am not sure whether there were five boys and eleven girls
or s1x boys and ten girls. Two of that large fanily are still
:.
living at this date; Mrs. Mary KIMES, age n1nety~three years, of'
Holton, Kansas and Mrs. Adelia STONER, age n1nety-one, of Youngstown
Illinois.
.
"
There were so many in the family they were not g1 ven double,'
names; or .In~yhap 1 t was not the custom then. The names of the boys

were: John. James. Jack. Henry and Matthlas. The 'girls ,names~::
were: Sally. Nancy. Deborah. Mary. Adella. Ann. Amella. Kltty Ann
and Rebecca. The two last mentloned dled ln early chl1dhood. Kltty
Ann dled from burns recelved by her clothlng catchlng flre. Two
others dled ln lnfancy. As thelr names are gone from my memory I
eannot tell thelr sex as ln those days, the names told the story.
Among the names,acqulred by the marrlage of the daughters,
we have HAWKINS, PAINTER, BECKNER, KIMES, STONER, PERRY and TRACY.
When you meet up wlth those names be on your guard and best behavlor
for reasons glven above. After the 'death of Matthlas VINKIRK the
famlly moved to Illlnols and nearly all except the PAINTERS grew
qulte well-to-do or wealthy.
And now comes a thlrd weddlng and the one ln whlch we are
vltally lnterested: That of Samuel PAINTER, only son of Solomon and
Mary PAINTER, and Nancy VINKIRK, second daughter of Matthlas and
Ellzabeth VINKIRK. Thls weddlng took place
the aforementloned,
hewed, double log house on the seventh of January, elghteen hundred
and forty ln the presence of three hundred guests.

In

The brlde had attalned the rlpe age of fourteen years, elght
and one-half months. The gro:om was twenty three. They began thelr
home llfe ln Kentucky; moved to Indlana and after one and one-half
years there wen~ to the then sparsely settled, wlld reglon of Ililnols.
They stayed there twenty-flve years and dld thelr share ln subdulng
and peopllng that part of our country., They then moved to Mlssourl
just after the Cl vl1 War and helped ln reconstruc.t16n:~of that state.
In elg~t~en seventy-slx they moved to Kansas where they spent the
remalnder of thelr 11ves. Samuel PAINTER dled at the age of elghtynlne years and elght months and Nancy PAINTER at the age of elghtyfour years and four months.
Now I hope there are no eaves droppers around for I must tell
the palnful .truth. There were twelve chlldren ln thls faml1y, four
boys and elght glrls. The eldest, ,James Henry PAINTER, who became
known ln adult 11fe as the Rev.J.H. PAINTER, was born ln Kentucky.
All the rest were born lz;t I ll,lnols~' , One, boy ,Thomas Albert, and
glrl, Adella Evellne, dled ln early chlldhood; whl1e an lnfant
daughter llvedbut a brlef two hours and dled wlthout recelvlng a
name.
James Henry PAINTER marrled Katharlne CARTER and they were the
parents of one boy and five girls. Four glrls are now 11vlng. For
hls second wlfe he marrled Mrs. Nannle R. PIPER, who survives hlm~
Mary Ellzabeth PAINTER marrled James PHILlIPS. She dled at the age
of sixteen leaving an infant daughter. She. is Dora King SPAWR and
is still livlng. John William PAINTER married Maggie LOWER. There .\'~r.---­
were three boys and six glrls; three boys and four girls are living,
Eliza Jane PAINTER married Jackson BENNETT. Of their four sons, three
are living. George Washlngton PAINTER married Minnie B. DUNCAN.
Their family of four sons and one daughter are all living. Anna

Feb 2. 1888 to J.W. REDDEN. Sec. State Board of Health.
Dear Slr,

i

I

. I

I regret that the reports of deaths recelved during the last year are so Incomplete as to render t~ose that 'have been reoelved practlcally worthless. By
comparing the burlal permits that were lssued by the olty olerk durlng the year
1886 wl th the reports of deaths made to thls office', I find the defect much
greater than I had supposed. Instead of an Improvement In the mortuary reports
durlng the year 1887. as was expected, I doubt whether SO per cent have been
reported. A few physlclans who are In actlve praotlce have entlrely Ignored the
law, and have not made· any reports of eIther deaths or birthsi while others have
made partlal reports. The reports of births and marriages are more complete than
durlng the prevlous year, yet they are not perfeot. The law requ1r1ng reports of
oontaglous and 1nfectious dlseases to be made to the County Health Offloer at onoe
by the physio1an In attendanoe. has lnno instance been observed.
.

I

-

Under these circumstances. I can only report my own observat10ns, and facts
derl ved from 1nqulry and oonstan't watohfulness. Measles. mumps and whooplng
cough have appeared In the oounty at different polnts. but In suoh a mlld form as
to requlre very llttle medloal attentlon. Intermlttent and remlttent fevers have
prevalled less than usual. We have had no small-pox or small-pox exoltement. hence
no vacclnatlng has been done. A few cases of scarlet fever have been reported.
but none fatal I It is posslble some or all may have been measles. Many Cases of
death, due to oonsumptlon, and oancer In Itsvarlous torms, have occurred; cases
of the latter have been unusually numerous •. Whlle we have not had any dlptheretio
epldemlc. It has appeared In dlfferent tamilies, in varIous parts of the county.
at varlous times durlng the year, wlth fatal results In numerous Instances. And
the fact that It has been more tatal In rural dlstrlcts than In the ctty. would
seem to Indl cate that its cause was due to impure water •••The Increasin~ frequency of diphtheria. with its tatal results. often strangling its vIct.ms in the
most horrId manner, should guarantee the most thorough inVestigatIon.
.
For nearly two years we have had more or lesstyphold fever'constantly;
durlng last. year It had almost entlrely abated, but early In July It appeared at
several polnts in the city of Lawrence, also in the rural distrIcts, and has prevailed wlth unusual fatality. During ~he present month, deaths due to this cause
have ooourred In Lawrence, and In at least flve townships outsIde the oity. Where
the water that was used for drinklng pUrposes was examined, it was found to be
impure. I. therefore reaffirm my views. which were expressed In former reports.
that the typhoid fever wh1ch has prevaIled in this oounty was due to the use ot
Impure water.
If there Is any movement In the dIrection of better sanitation ••• I shall be
glad to cast my mite In that directIon.

"A Kansas edltor. llke all other ·editors. we suppose, ls··gilad
occaslonally to get out of slght and hearlng of exchanges, types,
presses, composltors, devlls, and all, and enjoy a day amld other
scenes, even at the rlsk of belng called upon to make a speech or
respond to a toast. At least, such was our feeling, as, on last
S$.t.~day mornlng, we took a seat beslde the drl ver, on board a fourhonse wagon, containing the "Lawrence Cornet Band, lien route for
bLINTON. Our way was up the valley of the Wakarusa and, as usual,
as soon as we forgot our editorlal charge, we were longlng for a
quarter-section of that splendld_9.ottom sweeplng back on to the
upland just enough to glve us a 'good buildlng site. We were ready to
shout, "A farmer's life is the .l,.fe for me, sir." And then, as we
gazed upon those broad fertlle 'meadows, wlth the waving grass, we could
not help thlnking of our boyhood days, when, tolilng amld the hliis ,,."
and stumps, and rocks of " old Steuben," in New York, we spent tlme
and labor enough to have made a farm here as rlch and beautlful as
any New -York.
can boast.
-.The Valley of the Wakarusa resembles very much the far-famed ~
Valley of the Genesee, ln Western New York. It is full as wlde,' Ls
as good solI, and sweeps back wltha gentle ascent to the high-rolling prairie. Indeed, had it not been for the lack of large farmhouses and fenced flelds, we could easlly have lmagined ourself on
the Genesee flats below Genesco. We saw some flne flelds of corn
thls slde of CLINTON, some contalning we should judge. from twenty
to forty acres.
CLINTON, THE TOWN
Llke a great many other towns in Kansas, CLINTON 1s as yet, more
ideal tl1an actual. Tl'l~ town is laid off on a couple of quarter
sections of land adloining ~soUth~~,or_~tp.~e town of BLOOMINGTON). Some
. trouble or dispute about the tltle of the latter town, caused, I
-p~'lleve the laying out of CLINTON.
A well~filled store forms already
a part of the future village, and a steam mill is to be shortly erected.
The locatlon ls very pleasant. and is backed up by a f1ne... country.
The CELEBRATION was held in an adjolnlng grove. Abo'ut eleven
o'clock the processlon formed at the store aforesald, and 'Under
escort of the band, proceeded to the place of assembling. There was
a large attendance, some flfteen hundred, I should judge, and in all
sorts of v.ehicles, from good SUbstantial ox-teams to covered carrlages
and gay horses. The ladles and bables formed well on to half the
audlence.--a good.lndlcation thls of peace and prosperlty. Our Kansas
ladies have not yet learned that important lesson of arlstocratlc
high llfe. 'that lt is more proper for a lady to carry ln her arms a
nasty poodle-dog than a sweet -and smiling babe. May they never learn

The ORATION.--Now,dear reader, learn a lesson of the danger of
allowlng your name to be used as a publlc speaker. We had observed
our name on some large posters for thls celebratlon, but amld the array
of Generals, Judges-," etc., wl th whlch 1 twas assoclated, we had
culated on getting off 'wlth some "remarks ," occupylng say bout;'&gt;fi,f:t;een

have 1 t, the General dl~_no-t_~k_~_J'l~J? appearance .--one of the
Judges Was slck, and the other had been made Presldent of the day,
and so the poor edltor had to offlclate as "Orator of the dayl"
Well, how he got through wlth lt, we can't say. All that we
profess to remember about lt ls that a couple of those bables aforesald dld take occaslon to cry most voclferously durlng the most of the
tlme he was speaklng. Whether they thought that a proper way to
testlfy thelr respect for the-"glorlous Fourth. 1I we are unable to
dlvlne.
The DECLARATION.--Pardon us~ dear reader, for we had almost
forgotten the readj1ngof, that grand old document. ,full of the lmmortallty of truth'; Ifls such a rarlty. as well as luxury, to hear
lt read well. that we presume all 11stened. wlth the greatest
pleasure to the excellent lntonatlon and dellvery of the reader, Mr.
G.W. HIGHLAND.
The DINNER .--After the oratlon. Judge WAKEFl;ELD. the Pres'ldimt __ '
of the day. made an approprlate speech. and, th~nwe all went to
dlnner. It was served on some long rustlc ~.:tabres~ close at hand.
beneath the shade of glant trees. Of the dlnner-rt ls sufflclent
to say, that lt was a good dlnner. a free dlnner. and that- everybody.
boys lncluded. had all they wanted.
TOASTS.--After dlnner, (It was a coldwater dlnner. reader,)
came a goodly number of toasts wlth approprlate responses. We can't
remember all of them, nor the names of near all the speakers. and as
lt would appear lnvldlous to mentlon a portlonionlY. we wll1 only
", say. that the toasts embraced a good varlety of subjects. from liGen.
WASHINGTON ," and"The Day we celebrate. 1I clear down to "Old Bachelors. 1I
and that they were responded to ln as many d1fferent styles as there~
were toasts and speakers.
The BAND dld most excellent servlce. contrlbutlng by thelr f1ne
stlrrlng mustc, much. very much to the lnterest of the occas10n. The
ploneer Cornet Band of Kansas are a noble set of fellows. Free-State
men, true as steel, everyone of them, and most pleasant company. as
the wrlter hereof can testlfy.
The MARSHALL, the gallant Capt. Sam'IWALKEB. and hls efflclent
asslstant, Mr. J.C. PECK, performed thelr dut1es ably. and for the
entlre satlsfactlon of the assembly.
CQl'1~~LHOME .--We could tell you a n1ce 11 ttle story, reader, of
a long.• __ ~ea;y tramp down the valley of the Wakarusa. last Sat1ll\day I
evenlng. by the IIl1ght of the moon," somewhere between sundown and j
nlne o'clock, P.M., of muslclans marchlng manfully to thelr own sweet
stralns. of a "Llfe on the Ocean Wave." and "Bory 0 'More ," rlnglng
out on the clear nlght alri--but, as nobody was to blame except a
~.ody "as;wasn't anybody," we wlll leave that part untold.
The cltlzens of CLINTON and the surroundlng country deserve
great credl t for thelr enterprlse -and .. ~nergy ln gettlng up so f1ne

IREUBEN R. DOOLITTLE

I

Reuben R. DOOLITTLE. a retlred farmer ofWa·karusa Townshlp,
Douglas County. was born In_Wayne County, N~Y •• May 22. 1827.
Hls father~. Rev. Orln DOOLITTLE.• a natlve of New York. was for
many years' a mlnlster 1n the Methodist Ep1scopal Church. but
owlng to the stand taken by the denomination at the.tlme the
slave questlon was being agltated. he wlthdrew ·from the mlnlstry
and devoted;h.ls attention to lecturing ln behalf of the abolltlo,n
of slaves. By hls marriage to Elizabeth RANDOLPH he had nlne~­
chlldren. of whom our. subject was the fifth arid is the only one
in Kansas.
.
The paternal grandfather of our subject. Reuben Randolph DOOLITTLE.
was born in Culpepper, VA •• where he attained maturity. but afterward he removed to New York • .Durlng the war he was· employed as
dispatch bearer for General Washington.
When our" subject'was about nlne years of agEf,·-.the famlly settled
ln Michigan. -~iii 1852 he went via water' to··California. crossing
the isthmu~~of ·-Panama. Fo~ .two years and' four months he engaged
in mlnlng. He resumed farming 1~ Mlchigan. but soon became restless ag1ri. and ln the sprlng of'1859 started for Pike's Peak.
However. when'about one hundred and twenty 'miles west of Omaha
he met. so many returning that he dec1ded not to' go further. Consequently he drove down to Douglas County and bought a :clalm where
he now resides. afterward securing from the government a deed.
bearing the s1gnature of Andeew Johnson. to one hundred and s1xty
acres of land ~ His f1rst house was a log cabin:,1 in .w}l;l ch he lived
for about eight years. At the tlme of the war he was.J a member of
the state milit1a. but did not see act1ve·service. as he was
placed· on detached duty.
..
In 1885 he erected a comfortable house from'plans deslgned by his
wlfe. and here he has since res1ded. His wlfega1ned a reputa~atlon
throughout the county as a' 'skl11fui:buttermaker. -and at no time was .
a~pound of her butter ever sold for less than twenty-flve cents,
whll~_:at tlmes.it commanded as much as f1fty cents.

You enjoyed the happiness of work and family.
Felt the pangs of grief that comes to us all.
Your cheerful self has gone on to realm more tranquil.
May you reside forever in Heavens beautiful halls.

A heartfelt tlThanks~ to those who "helJ)ed' to make this a most
productive year for our Society. Many projects have been successfully completed and new ones started.
Remember. helping with these projects can be a valuable
learning experience and will help when researching your own fam1ly
lines. The erosion of time causes a "wearing away" of records and
family history will be lost to many future generations if we don't,
compile information now. Rewarding friendships are created from
working together. Let's keep going.

until a search of Mr. RUTH I s bedroom revealed a small diary or memorandum book whioh included a letter implioatlng Dr. MEDLICOTT. The

to Mrs. RUTH, who had gone to Leavenworth for a couple of days. The

Dr •. John J. MEDLICOTT was born about 1841 1n Ireland (or was
of Irlsh descent)\ He was reared ln Marletta, Ohl0, served in the
Army ln a W. Vlrglnla Reglment, wasdlsmlssed ln 1864,/-and studled
Med1clne ln Clnnclnatl, Ohl0. In 1868, he marrled Mrs.- SarahE-. -DOYLE, a: wldow, "many years hls senlor" at Hagerstown, Maryland.
They moved to Lawrence soon after and he opened a practlce at hls
resldence. He was a member of the Eplscopal church. In 1871, hls
parents were stll1 llvlng ln Mar1etta, Ohl0, he had one marrled
slster ln Pennsylvanla. two ~rled slsters ln Kentucky (one brotherIn-law named WATSON, one named JONES) and one unmarrled slster ln
Clnclnnatl, Ohl0. Hls In-laws, parents of Mrs. Sarah DOYLE MEDLICOTT
had dle~ suddenly a few years before In.Maryland.
Mr.s. Isaac M. RUTH (Ann Catherlne VOULLAIRE RUTH. also known as
"Kate" or "Kltty") was sald to have been a French Creole. born ln the
. South about 1836. Her malden name ls unknown, but her mother's name
ln 1871 was "Mrs. MURRAY". ~j's-.-RUTH-was des·crlbed. as a- beautlful
and well-educated woman who could speak several languages and had
muslcal abillty. She went to St. Louls about 1853. where she marrled
a young lawyer, Seymour VOULLAIRE, who afterwards became Dlstrlct
Attorney of St. Louls. They ¢arrled, had s1x chlldren and remalned
together at least ten years untll she became lnvolved with Mr. I~'M •
.__IiUTH~ who was at that tl~e e1 ther a reporter for the Mlssouri fuu2(u~1i~:, '::_
;,. 11can or a postal worker. Subsequently there was a shootlng lncla.ent

between Mr. RUTH ,and Mr. VOULLAIRE. both belng wounded. Soonafter.
the VOULLAIRE's were dlvorced and on 29 Jan 1868 Mr. RUTH and MIS.
VOULLAIRE were marrled ln St. Louls. It wasn't long before they ~, moved to Lawrence. where they 11ved wlth four of her chl1dren. (The
VOULLAIRE chl1dren declded to adopt the name DeSPANGH. whlch was
thelr maternal grandfather's surname. He was supposedly a French
nobleman). It was ln Lawrence that Mrs. RUTH met Dr. MEDLICOTT.
Isaac M. RUTH had llved ln Lawrence slnce the 1850's. He
drove a mllk wagon for qulte a few years before he went to St. Louls.
Hls father's name was also Isaac and he had at least one brother.
named Davld. Hls flrst wlfe was a Mrs. BENNETT. a dl vorcee whom he
probably marrled ln Kansas. She later dled suddenly. At the tlme

THE TRIALS_,

E-~

Dr. MEDLICOTT had been ln the Lawrence jal1 fo~nearlyjhalf
a year when hls trlal was moved to Garnett. Kansas (Aiiderson Co~J.
Due to wldespread publlclty. lt was felt that he would not get a falr
trlal ln Douglas County. ~WLRepy,bllcan Joy,[ni-l. a Lawrence newspape,r.
gave detalled coverage of the trlal from Oct lO'to"'Dec 9 .~ :t$2f: Dozens
of wltnesses from Lawrence and elsewhere"were'cal1ed. to' te-sti'fy,' Includlng such promlnent people as Gov. ROBINSON. John HUTCKINGS and
Samuel WALKER. Doctors were called to testlfy about the morphlne
found ln Mr. RUTH's body. (I t was reported that there was so much
polson ln hls body that flles on the sheet thrown over hls body were
polsoned and hundreds of them fell dead on the floor). Nelghbors
suggested that Dr. MEDLICOTT may have polsoned a black woman and
several cats as an experlment a few months before Mr. RUTH I S death.
Much lnformatlon was glven about the llfestyle and hablts of the
'
RUTH and MEDLICOTT families. Henry JOHNSON (allas Wm. Sperry~,., a
cellmate of Dr. MEDLICOTT. testlfled about an elaborate escape attempt
planned by the doctor. coded le,tters he passed out of the jal1 and
other damaging lnformat10n. 'Below' are the names of most of the w1 tnesses who t~est1f1ed at the tr1als of Dr. MEDLICOTT and Mrs. RUTH:

The 'results of the trials were that Dr. MEDLICOTT was found
quilty of murder in the first degree and sentenced to be hanged.
Mrs. RUTH, who was arrested immediately ~fter Dr. MEDLI CO'l'T' s ~rial,
" spent a f~w m&lt;?ntl'ls 1~, ja1.-l ~d' after her ,t~l.al was found _qu1ltYI as ,
accompllce .. , Dr. MEDLICOTT was later released due to a legal

It was reported that after his release, Dr. MED~IGm returned
to l1ve 1n Ohl0. How he :spent the remainlng years of ...hls_life /' 1s
not known.
.

.'~

But the f1nal chapter of Mrs. RUTH's life is no mystery. This
woman, with "eyes black as coal emitting sparks that 19n1 te the t1nder
of a suscept1ble heart" went to New Orleans where she met (and married?) Mr. KELLEY, an agent of a steamship line, had a son, Paul and
moved wlth them and her other children to New York City about 1882.
Twelve years after the RUTH murder ln Lawrence, Kansas, a couple
was found dead in a murder-sulcide ~t an apartment buildlng on 22nd
St. ln New York C1 ty. At first the~bo~l:~!!rwere ldentified as those
of Horace B. SHEPARD and h1s w1fe •. But ln a few days the truth became
known. The woman was none other than Ann Cather1ne VOULLAIRE RUTH.
identified by her son, Belmont DeSPANGH. Unknown to her children and
present husband(?), she had been living a double life as Mrs. KELLEY
and Mrs. SHEPARD. It was believed that Mr. SHEPARD. a yound man in
his 20's wlth a gentle manner and from a very flne family of Saybrook.
Conn •• had recently learned of her past and that he had kllled her
and himself out of shame or fear. Hls fam1ly. when informed of the
tragedy, was devastated with grief. The former Mrs. RUTH was to be
buried in Greenwood" cemetery. New Yorko:C~ty,. It was said that ::Ohis
woman with the coal-blaCk eyes and vivacious temperament had "ruined
four men". But who can count the number of lives she had town asunder
during h~r lifetime?

2. 1859

Gentlemen: I lost ln the dlsturbances of 1855 and 1856: Flrst. one valuable
horse. about the middle or last of November. 1855; he dled ln consequence of
hard driving to glve me and others notlce of the Mlssourl lnvaslon: he took the
horse ln my absence: the young man has since dled.
Second. I lost near the same tlme. but a few days later. a valuable mare
rode by a young man. the particulars of whlch I know.,nothlng further than his
report. He sald she fell and killed herself. I have not seen or heard of the
man for three years past. These two horses I drove from Indlana. and they were
worth there $150 each. and more here.
Thlrd, I loaned to Mr. LOWRY a mule to rlde durlng the winter of 1856. I
went to Lawrence for her once and she was gone to Leavenworth. he did not know
who had her. She was taken from him again and rode to Fort Scott. to organize the people for detence, &amp; etc. Durlng this trip she was tied out to a tree
over night 1n the snow several times with nothing to eat. and somt1mes travelled all da~without food. so I was told. When she returned to Lawrence. she
was sick and never recovered. she lived a few months and died. She was a
large mule. 16 hands hlgh. three'''years- old. coming four: I paid $175 for her
in Missouri.
Fourth. I lost a large red ox. which I believe was killed and eaten by
the free-State army in Lawrence. in August. 1856.
One of my neighbors. Ell HUDDLESTON. told me he thought he helped to
dress him. It was common then to drive in cattle and kill them. Thlsc'ox was
worth i50.
)
Fifth. I lost a heifer which was kllled and eaten. A young man who has
slnce worked for me helped to do 1 t: His name is Henry C. CARPENTEB. He 1s
not in the Territory now. and I do not know where he ls. ,She was worth $25.
The evidence substantiat1ng these claims is on file with General STRICKLER
During the sUlDlller of 1856. while the free-State army was encamped near my
house. a few days previous to the at~acks on Franklin. Fort Saunders. and
Titus's fort. and for several days after. I was forced by circumstances and by
my sense of duty to feed many men. My provision and grocery bill was three
hundred dollars for these expenses. I was forced into the position of defending the country. and I was obliged to do it or run. G.W. HUTCHINSON is my
witness'~ere also Captain BELL. and Dr. ROOT, and many others.
There was no time from May tll1 September, 1856. that I d1d not have from
two to three sick persons to take care ot, made sick. I believe, by exposure
and hardship in defence of the Territory. I cla1m $)00 for money expended. but
nothing for serv1ces.

(June 16, 1896 i ssue()~;",~.
The HASKIN family who left two'months ago for Oklahoma is back
again and has taken 'possession of the HARBAUGH farm near the river.
They started from here. with two light teams and went allover the
territory and when they could find no place like BISMARCK, they all
gottogether one night at dark and said. "See here suppose we all
journey northward to a colder climate." No sooner were these words
spoken then all the family together arose and agreed to start at the
dawn of day for a land that is fairer than Oklahoma.
, An upper boy, a son of the late Dan BANKER, aged about 9 years
turned in one day last week to Aunt Sibley WALKER for a home where
he now'is unt1;.l a home is found for him. The boy has been turned
loose with no',~,one to care for .him. There were two boys of them not
related, that for months past have been running on the commons awaitlng some chance' to get to the reform school. Not long since' one of-:-, '
, them stole a dollar and by thls generosity on his part got two weeks
in the calaboose where he enjoys life to lts fullest e~tent.

E.W. BLAKER is perhaps the oldest gardener and vegetable deliverer in the, county. After passlng hls eighty-flrst mile stone he sells
more garden produce and the longer he lives the more he is known as
a peddlar.

A young man by the name of James MORROW, who for a few years past
has llved near BISMARCK, has been missing from his home forfou.r
weeks. He' owned about twenty acres ln po;t's.toes,' all of whlch are
stlll beneath the sod. He left a wife and four children; not one
of them know of hls whereabouts. He planted these acres w1th the
h1gh hope of making a raise, and seeing noth1ng prospect1ve before
h1m, his discouragement has led hlm either to sulc1de or derangement.
Somethlng of a search has been lnstltuted several times, only to
find no trace of the unfortunate man. His we1ght will reach near
200 pounds, and he is quite an iritellig~nt man 1n conversat10n,
be1ng always a hard work1ng farmer.
E.W. BLAKER, so well known around BISMARCK is spending a few
weeks at.Bonner Springs at ~ Methodist camp meet~ng.
OutSiders, or those who never go to town to trade, should spend'
some of their money wi th, J,.H. MILLER, who runs a stand outside of
the city limits by keeping q·il1.-te a store of goods.
The republicans made a rally last Saturday might at the br1ck
school house with several speakers from Lawrence.

the tlme ARTHUR thought that the lnvestment would be a grand success. but
the panlc later that year caused the bottom to fallout of the market and
the future Presldent dld not amass fortunes from the Leavenworth 1nvestment.

From Leavenworth. Mr. ARTHUR went to Lawrence by stage and he remembers
agreeably the excellent natural road upon whlch the stage ran through the

Delaware Indl anJreservatlon and the ploturesque oountry that bordered It.
He was less enthuslastl0 ln desorlblng the horrlble rlde to Weston along

lt was only the result of a drunken brawl, wlth whloh polltlos had

" dlnner table. A mali who had been 81 ttlng at Mr a ARTHUR' s left and
who had been plylng hlm w1th questlons was suddenly dragged out by
the Deputy Sherlff upon the charge of havlng k1lled BAILEY o~ th~
prevlous nlght. Learnlng that hls nelghbor at the ~lnn~r taol'e, ,tilas
a lawyer the accused, whose name 1s not remembered,.~~iins~8ted upon
retalnlng hlm for the defense ln the com1ng examlnatfon whlch was
to oocur lmmedlately. Excuses and decllnatlons were of no avall:
the man was very much determlned that the young lawyer from the East
should remaln and defend hlm. Flnally, Mr. ARTHUR agreed to go wl th
hlm before a maglstrate, ~ut upon arrlv1ng there succeeded ln Induclng hlm to employ other counsel.
A stlll more amuslng and lmpresslve clrcumstance whlch the

Presldent recalled with twlndllng eyes and an lnfectlous laugh, was
that the Sherlff had ln the room ln whlch the magistrate sat all the
prlsoners under hls charge. The jall was so lnsecure that he was
obllged to take hls prlsoners wlth hlm and he had them all herded up
ln a corner llkeso many sheep. ThePresldentremembers a 11 ttle
red-headed fellow, appar,ently about 16 years old who had be,en ar:';"
rested for kllllng hls own cousln ln a quarrel over a game of cards.
There were some half-dozen other prlsoners, all crowded lnto the
corner and surrounded wlth a klnd of paling. The examlnatlon of
the alleged murderer contlnued for a day or two, and the Presldent
belleves he was flnally dlscharged, but ln the meantlme he and hls
frlend had returned to Lawrence.
'
The Presldent reoollects vlsl;t;lng one or two other places lni-.,
the 'l',errltory, but cannot now recal;!. the partlculars. He dld 'not,
go to Topeka, then scarcely more'th8n a mere settlement, as he was
lnformed, but whlch he now knows to be a large and flourlshlng clty.
But for the panlc of 1857 and lts far-reachlng consequenoes, the
Presldent feels persuaded
that ~e would have settled ln ,the ,-West •.

Dear Brother,
,\ "

Recd yours, glad to 'hear from you. We are all well excepting Pa
and he has to keep his bed the biggest share of his time. Will
send you the hopper with this letter as you asked the favor I
cannot refuse to do so. I think you will see some without me
sending them. I have just prepared them for sending. If they
are alive when they land it is notmy fault for I mashed their
heads. Please tell me in the next letter whether they were dead
or alive.

i

,I,

Well, Dudley, I was at a croquet party one week ago yesterday
afternoon. Had a very passable time. But I would enjoyed myself much better if you had been there. You cannot guess who'
came home with me. You need not guess Keely for he was no~here.
But guess Irving Love &amp; you will guess it. Well if George &amp;
Will had not told you about the hoppers I would say something
but that was the subject of their letters. The neighbors are ,
all well as far as I know. Mrs. Ferguson has not written yet.
If she does write I will tell you what she says in her letter.
If Frank and Ellen are anywhere about tell them that I send my
love to them &amp; hope them good lUCk. I will close as I want to
write a little to Chas &amp; Annie.

.

Yours truly your sister

Llbrary on the Unlverslty of Kansas campus where many of the older
court records are kept. We were looklng for cases ln whlch both
plalntlff and defendant had the same surname. Then. armed wlth
names. Case numbers and our natural curloslty. lt was down to the
storage basement at the Judlclal and Law Enforcement Bulldlng where
the old case flIes of Cl vll and Crlmlnal cases are stored ln metal ~&lt;-;'.
cablnets. Some of the flIes had surely not been opened slnce they
were placed there a century or more ago judglng from the amo~t of
dust on them.
As we read each case. we were struck wlth the polgnancy of
partlcular stQrles. amazed at the contemporary nature of others,
but m~~nly surprlsed by the wealth of genealoglcal lnformatlon
avallable. After readlng numerous cases. we came to the concluslon
that dlvorce records are probably the most o(tlsunderstood and least
utlllzed records avallable to genealoglsts. Why? Because we do
no usually even conslder that one of our ancestors may have been
dl vorced.
Just thlnk about your own famlly tree. Sltuatlon I: Your
great-grandmothermarrled your great-grandfather and 11ved together
happlly untl1 death dld them part. You have seen thelr marrlage
certlflcate whlch shows your great-grandmother's malden name. There
ls nothlng to make you suspect that she may have been prevlously
marrled and dlvorced. So, "Why check dlvorce records?" Answer:
Our experlence readlng early Douglas County dlvorce cases has taught
us that many of the women marrled flrst uslng thelr malden name,
got a dlvorce ~ a return of thelr malden name, and marrled someone
f!1lse uslng thelr malden ruune agalnL (Some women ;;"'o~$n:::;.the other· hand •
requested that .the·!S~~~:;,~(~ tl:J:~Jr flrst husban&lt;i be ~~stored to ":'
them at the', tlme of dlvorce from1 thelr second husband). Moral: Check
. dl voroe' record.s· in" yoUr ance-stor l-s- county justln 'case there was
a prevlousmarrlage and dlvorce.
'fh.tuatlon II. You know that one of your great-grandfath~rs
was married twlce, but you and your famlly have always assumed that
hls flrst wife dled shortly after marrlage and he then remarrled.
So, "Why check dlvorce records?" Answer: You may f1nd as we dld
that many men were marrled a flrst tlme, dlyorced a year or two
later, and then remarr1ed ln a year or so to someone els~. Even
though some of the dl vor oed men' s bl0graphlcal sketche.s, t~."a:;::&lt;?c:)l¢~Y::...

that he was dlvorced from her, leavlng descendants to assume that
the first wlfe died. Moral: Check divorce records. be skeptlcal of

Situation III: You are absolutely sure that there are no
divorces in your family, so "Why check early divorce records?"
Answer: While it may be true that you are unlikely to find an
ancestor who was divorced, it is quite pro:pable that one or more ~
ot your ancestors may have been subpoened in a divorce case as
witness for.either the plaintiff or defendant. If so, your
ancestor's depositia'lmay,give innumerable facts about himself
arid otherrelatlves. ·.I~tor:a;hc::'~'Ch'eck early divorce records,;;-fol!.::~l),Qssi ble
mention of your ancestor no matter fr9m what social level he came. _,~~
We found deposit10ns of witnesses from every economic and social level
of the communi ty., in the Douglas County divorce records.
NOW ••• lf we have convinced you t9 cons1der checking divorce
records, here are some of the treasures wh1ch may await you:
Name of the plaintiff and defendant; the date and place of their,
marriage; wife's maiden name; children's names and ages; grounds
for the divorce (if adultery-sometimes giving the name of the other
person involved), (1f b1gamy-somet1mes gi1V1ng name and marr1age date
of f1rst spouse), (1f cruelty or neglect-somet1mes g1ving dates and
places of incidents 'of phys1cal or verbal abuse); military serv1ce;
somet1mes real and personal property. occupations, ages, names of
other relatives; letters or other papers in defendant's own writing
answering allegations; newspaper notices of the pending divorce;
names of sheriffs and other off1cials; and many other items of interest
relat1ng to customs of the times and local h1story.
In one:'~trouQYll~ng letter from a soon-to-be divorced woman of
Douglas Courity"tc{'the Clerk of Court in 1864. we read the following:
1f it must be so i will g1 ve him a bill of d1 vorce. but ,:. ,';.." .
would rather 11ve and enjoy l1fe happily with h1m than do ",.
soc~,and lf the1r is any mercey in heaven and just1ce in law

.

. .-: If you've traced an ancestor to the' East coast of the United
States and the trail has gone cold without a clue as to where
the family came from. there is a strong possibility that they or
their parents emigrated from Bermuda. Bermudians have been
establishtng new family lines in the United States and Canada,
since Bermudars colonization in 1612.
Although every conceivable English name that. exists in the U.S.
also exists in Bermuda. your chances of conn~eting with a Bermuda
ancestor are particularly good if you are searching for a name
somewhat less common in this country, or even rare. Some of
those names listed below are (or were) common in Bermuda:

�The Old Lawrence Jail,' no longer in existence. was located
north side of present-day 6th street. between Vermont and Massachusetts streets in Lawrence. Note the bridge to the right of the jail
and the Bowerstock Mill to the right of the bridge. This photo was

The earliest jail in Lawrence was a 20 X 20 foot log structure built
in 1858. County commissioners. Josiah MILLER and William BARRICKLOW
were instrumental in securing funds with which to build the log jail.

park and was the first iron jail in Kansas. According to an article
in the Journal WOEld dated Oct 7 1937, the iron with which the jail
was constructed was put on the steamboat. "Izetta" enroute to Lawrence
but the "Izetta" became stuck on a sand bar at De Soto and the iron
had to be unloaded and brought the rest of the way by wagons.
According to the Republlca'n Journal. Lawrence. KS. Apr 27 1871 issue,
a reporter who visited the jail in April of 1871 described a cellon
the NE corner of the 2nd floor as IIdirty and squalid". Although the
cell did contain a chair and desk, the mattress was ~escribed as being
only one inch in thickness. Some of the prisoners whom the reporter
saw on his visit were: Dr. John MEDLICOTT, charged with the murder of
of Mr. I.M. RUTH ;"'the notorious I Cinda. Alex MONTGOMERY; SPRIGGS, the
crazy man; a Folish lunatiC; two vagrants. one petty larceny (six
months) and one attempt to kill (six months) ."
The Douglas County courthouse was built in 1903 on the S.E. corner of
Massachusetts and 11th St. A few years later the jail was located in

The Lawrence Journal World. Nov 22,198) issue reported the effort's
of Amelia BETTS of Baldwin City. KS to restore seven monuments al'cng
the Santa Fe Trail in Douglas Co. The monUments were erected by.
the Daughters of the American Revolutio~ in 1906 and 1907. Some 'of
the monuments are now in poor cQndi tion due to' erosion and other '"
factors. ;::,~~S$ BETTS believes that without some outside he 11&gt;. th~.~·
monuments may further deteriorate.
.
Miss :BEr,TS and Katharine KELLgy. ·are in the process of re$toring two /'
of the m:6numents, one honorj;-ng;~t,he former to~n of P~M~A and the .
other about one half mile north of BALDWll\lc CITY. The others in need
of restoration are at the sites of: ':GLOBE.,~·BLACK: JACK. BROOKLYN.
WILLOW SPRINGS, and FLAG SPRINGS. The one that needs'the most work
1s. at BROOKLYN. "It 1,9 just a wooden sign that says "BROOKLYN '".
The sign has iio~. t'o:uniia:'ta:ql}..,,-:, ,

j

Miss BETTS feels that if something-is 'not done soon to restore these
markers. future generations may not even .know the wher'eabouts of
such places as the long-extinct towns "of BROOKLYN and WILLOW SPRINGS.
She would welcome financial or other kinds of help in continuing her
goal of restoring all seven of the Douglas County markers. "If some

~~- PRAIRIE CITY. n~w extinct. was loc~t~4 one mile, S.W. of Baldwin

Ci ty. KS in Palmyra ownship. I t was not a ",pa.p~i:';.;~c,tty." as were many
of the other early names on the map. but a real town with houses.
stores. churches and even a newspaper. The Freeman'.§. Champion.
In 1856. a school for boys called the Heber Institute was begun
in the area and in 1857 a Roman CatholiC Mission was established
nearby. Most of the churchl!s members were from France and Ire,land.
Some of the first settlers in PRAIRIE CITY were: Charles BUTEL.

Henry STEVENIN. Pascal AVRIL. the BAYSINGER) S ,;(1, Nehemicah GREEN •

James LANE was the founder of PRAIRIE CITY and it was incorporated
on 4 Feb 1859.

Apparently there were quite a few PRAIRIE CITY residents from
Aurora. IL judging by the mention of that town in marriage and death
notices in 'i'he Freeman'.§. Champion. One of PRAIRIE CITY's streets
was even named J,'Aurora" •
It was in PRAIRIE CITY that Horace GREELEY made a speech to
400 people at a Republican gathering on June 19. 1859. SO'&lt;!JlJ. after
his visit to Kansas. he made his famous statement. "'Go West"Young

In a publication of the Santa Fe Trail Historical Soci_ety.
BaldWin City. KS. entitled "Where Was Prairie City?';. (1~55-i88j''';, Vol.
)..'a description is given of what remained of PRAIRIE CITY-in 1972:..
"The cemeteries, the railroad. the pump and well on What was Eden
Park. the ruins of the Catholic Mission on Liberty Hill, the abandoned school house and the two-story stone house (the C.N. and Mary

MOWRER residence) which at one time was a general store and inn t' and
lots of stone and other evt-dence of buildings" is all that remains
of the town of PRAIRIE CITY.
On the inside oover of this issue we show a plat map of PRAIRIE

have accomplished many things in the first half of this year. Our
membership means we are moving forward with great strides, and we

welcome the new friendships, and the warm feeling that comes from working
together.
Our financial situation has never been better, enabling our society to
undertake even more worthwhile projects.
We now are incorporated, and have arranged for bulk mailing for our
"Pioneers"·and Newsletters.
It has been a busy six months of money-making projects. Our booth with
the "Independence Day" celebration gained many memberships for us. Our bake
sale at the Lawrence sidewalk bazaar brought together many of our members
who not only donated "goodies" to sell, but endured the hot weather to work
in the booth.
Our workshop in September was a memorable success. With Arlene Eakle
as our speaker, how could we fail? We all came away wishing we could hear
more from this very knowledgeable lady.
We have Hugh Stouppe and his daughter, Janet Payne, to thank, for the
success of our booth at the Maple Leaf

~estival

in Baldwin, they did a

terrific job of organizing, which allowed us to become acquainted with many
new people, and for the selling of our publications.
A special thanks to Ramona Sedlak, and Maxine Hougland for,the garage
sales which added over $450.00 to our bank account. This was a big job for
these two hard working ladies.
Honorable mention for Jane Wiggins who is responsible for our "Mini"
workshop held the third Saturday afternoon of each month, at

th~

Lawrence

Public Library. This is a "help-day" for any member who wishes to attend.
Jane is also responsible for our excellent Newsle.tter.. She is assisted by
Zona Smith.
This has been a very productive time for this society, but none of
these events would have been possible without excellent board

me~bers,

committee chairman, and the many people who helped - each one a very important part of our society. Let's keep working together, and moving forward.
Thanks to all for making the first half of this year a success.
Sincerely,

�54

They tell me.
"Why don' t you get a n1 ce new s e t '
.
Of matching dishes? Throw these reliCS outl"
Dispose ot these. my ·friends? On never----This plate is tram the set my mother chose tor me.
The rest have all been gone these many years;
And here's her teapot. how the memory clings
Of gentle hands and tender. loving smiles.
Oh. nol This sugar bowl with handle chipped
Reminds me of the babe who long ago
Pulled on the cloth; my. my the messl
But only the handle chipped. 1 love it sol
This bowl. too large for shrunken family now.
Was my Great-GrandlllalDl&amp;'s. her full. hard life
And many chlldren speak through all the years
When 1 enjoy this bowl and polish it.
And this candy dish brings haunting memories
Of home-made fudge. Christmas trees. candles
And all the wonder of a young girl's heart.
A beloved Aunt on·ce treasured this small cup
And now it's mine to remember and to love.
These dishes are all treasures. memories

or fam1ly and friends and happy days.

Each time 1 use them. wash them. handle them.
My family is much closer. gathering 'round
To bring support and much remembered love.

GENEALOGICAL TIP

~~.

"Jane DOE. born 4-6-96". Have you ever received a pedlgrae
chart or a family· group sheet w1th a date wr1 tten in t.hls
manner? It so. you may have wondered, "Does thls mean that
Jane was born on April 6. 1'896 or June 4, 18961" You may
even have been unsure ot the correct century.
To av01d confus10n. genealog1sts would do well to adopt a
standardlzed way of writ1ng dates on thelr genealogical forms.
(l.e •• day. month and year). The month should be spelled out
but may be abbreviated. The year should have four d1g1ts. For
example: John SMITH, born 7 Mar 1856 and Mary DOE. born 10 Jul
1791.

MH ls an lnherlted muscle abnorma11ty, character1zed by
react10ns to several drugs normally used dur1ng anaesthes1a.
Boy, what a buncQ" of b1g words. Let· s cut the red tape and $et
r1ght down to what 1s MR. Whenever you sm1le. talk. or move a·
muscle. a body funct10n takes place without your knowledge. The
muscle creates Calc1um. In creat1ng calc1um. the mus:cle also
develops heat. The heat 1s normally d1ss1pated by the body w1th
no problem. e1ther ln a MH person or a non-MH person.
So what ls the problem? The problem lles 1n the: MH person
l:S.ng unknown to medical personnel. If a MH person rece1ves an
lnhalatlonal anaesthetlc. used under normal condltlons. the
anaesthetlc could falsely ask the body for more calclum. up to
).000 t1mes the normal amount. Thls causes a vast lncrease ln
hea t. whlch lf not reversed. 1 s fa t a l . :
Now I may ask. what 1s all thls med1cal talk dolng ln a
genealoglcal publl'.ca.tl0n.'f Well. MH 1s a genea10g1cal' problem.
Re search done by Dr. B. -.ftl'!J.. t,t .of Toronto. Canada, sho~s that
her MR patlents trace thelr ancestors back to the Acadlan llne
of DUPUIS. To be prec1se, George DUPUIS and Flave BONNEVILLE.
marrled 12 Nov 18)8, ln~·St. Anlcet. PQ.
What you have read £;&amp;'0 far ls fact. In all falrn~ss to thls
art1cle and: to the read~;r. I feel that I must 1ntrodu~e myself.
My name ls R1chard Tomsha.ck and I. have :been d01ng genealogy for
some 10 or 12 years. I do th1s str1c:.tly as'a hobby. I also
have no formal educatlon beyond h1gh school. I th1nk thls 1s
1mportant to thls art1cle. I say thls because I may say someth1ng 1n th1s art1cle that mayor may not confllct w1th Dr. Br1tt.
I would ~~ke to polnt out at th1s t1me. that Dr. Br1tt 1s
a world ret:t::o.~#.~'~'~d.gQ~~~:'ar1d very qua11fled\1WOrk1ng w1th MH. Now
to f1n1sh th1'Ef' artlcle. I have talked w1 th varlous people, both
lay and doctors. and have read various med1cal journal~ and MH
pamphlets. It appears to me that MH 1s a product of ~ ethnlc
group, w1th numerous Consangu1nous marr1ages. If th1s,be fact,
then 1twould hold true w1th the 'descendants of Sylva1n DUPUIS
and Franco1se LeBLANC. marrled ca. 1745. rehab. Assumpt10n 1767.
All MH pat1ents . traced by Dr. Britt. are descendants of th1s
l1ne. Both DuPUIS and LeBLANC lead back to Acad1a, as opposed
to French Quebec. At th1s polnt, Dr. Brl tt agrees w1th me. (or
I w1th her) that th1s DuPUIS line has someth1ng to do w1th Ma. I
hope to conv1nce her of the LeBLANC connect10n. at our next
meeting (sch_~du).ed for late Se.p.tember 1982) . : ' . :: '-- .-.~:~-::,,~ "', ',\:.

She w1ll have the final say. S1nce there 1s no cure for MR, Dr.

Malignant Hyperthermia continued:
Britt plans to enter all this informatlon in a computer. On
a national scale. a doctor will then be able to check:,;-the"
computer. prlor to sutgery. and see if you are part of an--1'IH
line. Prior to surgery lsi"lfthe key,. If they know beforehand
a person is of an MH;]:l'ne.d1fferent procedures can be used
1n the operat1ng room.:" Ii1.owledge prior to surgery will give the
doctors a few extra, min~es that may save a l1fe. I'll never
know 1f my work gave a doctor a few· extra minutes. or 1f I saved
a life with my work. I'll only know that I tr1ed.

There are other lnteresting artlcles about Malignant
Hyperthermla in Vol 25. Nos. 2.3 and 4 (1978-79) of tbe Wiscons1n
State Genealogical Soclety Newsletter taken from articles in the
Milwaukee Sentinel.
In these art1cles. Ma11gnant Hyperthermia is called. "a
hereditary dlsease of the muscle that affects hundreds of fam1l1es
1n the Midwest." Some excerpts from thj article are:' "W1scons1n
ls a hot spot." ·'One of the longest affected' blood11nes 1n the
world extends lnto the state. Its known lineage stretches back
• nine generatlons to the early 1800's. Its roots are planted 1n
what Was Bohemia. now Czechoslovakia. n "Phys1c1ans have cmnstruct ...
ed lnterlock1ng genealogies with about 3.000 names. The genealogles were gathered from hundreds of 1nterviews witn fam1ly members
and by search1ng through courthouse records and fam1l~ B1bles
for birth. ,marriage and death records. About 40 surnames have
been 1dentified."
A "local genealogy buff, 74 year old Alfned Straub has put
together the family trees of about 75 clans 1n the Marathon
county area. One of those genealog1es 1s 190 pages long and
includ~s the names that have appeared most often on hosp1tal
records of unexpla1ned deaths follOWing anesthes1a." M~~. Straub
ls credlted wlth saving 5-10 11ves because of h1s genealog1cal
research work.

Dear Annie:
'
After dinner I looked at the couch then at the desk and decided in
favor of the desk. I t is a bright day but cold, i f it hadn't rained
.I-+~
yesterday Jessie thought she would try going to Eudora. I haven't been
II ~
anywhere since before Christmas. They will surely think I have gone
,
south for the winter, or something else. What do you think we have been
l'
doing? I have been braiding the front of my new dress and Jessie has
embroidered two white waists for herself. I must try and get my dress
done for Easter.
\+.
Your letter was very interesting. We laughed over your going as
far as your money would take you. Tell Mary we don't want always to be
;~
sensible and I liked my valentine. Mrs. DOUGHERTY sent Jessie and I
i~
each a lace one such as pleased 'us when we were younger. Mrs. D. is in
!~
Lawrence. She expects to come home on Tuesday. Ella is in K.C. most
of the time but comes to Lawrence Tuesdays and Fridays. S. S. is still
:'i'
in Des Moines. Did you know that Ethel has a little daughter, born
: +.:
Jan. 27?
,
I would have liked to see the Air ships, but I do not feel like
I,' "j;1
trusting myself to them yet. Your Calla lilies would be beautiful but
I love the ·roses. I have some hyacinths.: and crocus in bloom and Jessie
I "j:f
brought me.a fine geranium from town, We have enjoyed watching them. I
~~
hope this will reach you before you leave Santa Monica. How soon are
~~
;+.
you coming home? I must write to father's brother. He celebrated his
90th birthday the 11th of this month, went 4 miles on the trolley and
!~
took supper with his sister-in-law and some old friends. Our Chicago
aunt died Jan. 7. It was her 77 birthday. We miss her. She wrote to
+.,
us and we are getting to be so few. Lots of love to all of you, M r s . : t

DEERCREEK-DIST-No.-48--~·
L.

There were at least two early schools in the Stull community before Kansas became a state. One
was about one and one-haH miles south of Stull on the farm owned by August Kampschroeder.
The other, dated about 1860, was two and one-haH miles southwest. of Stull near a rOck quarry
on August Waiters' place. This was a two-room log cabin on a bluff at the foot of which was a
well, and was a community undertaking taught by a parent or teacher paid by subscription.
Children came to it from a good many miles .around; church and Sunclay school.also were held
there with a Mr. Brown dOing the preaching and living in a house afterward occupied by Christy
Petefish.
The next schoolhouse was a frame building located about one-half mile west and one mile north
of Stull on the southeast comer of what is now the farm of Wm Henry Jr. It was built by Peter
Eberhart Sr., for the use of his own children, with a teacher hired and paid by him. A year or so
later, John Damn Sr., and Jacob Hildenbrand offered to pay part of the expenses if their children .
too, could go to this school. Other parents then asked for the same privilege and the enrollment
thus increased. This school operated for at least five years.
On August 1; 1879, E.S. Lane and Lucinda Lane his wife, Cleeded to the Board of District No.
48, one and one-forth acres of land described as follows: beginning at the Northeast comer of the
N.W. 1/4 of Sec. 36, T. 12, R. 17, thence running West 12 1/2 rods, thence South 16 rods,
tbenceEast 12 1/2 rods, thence North 16 rods.to place o(beginning. Trusplot was to return to
the original estate, should its use for school purposes be terminated •.
Mr. Eberhart's schoolhouse is assumed tei have been purchased by the district, and not being
centrally located, was moved to this newly acquired site. This was done with a stump-puller and .
horses. The building had to be anchored every fifty to one-hundred feet, winched forward far as
it would go, then re-anchored further on and the process repeated as many times as necessary to
get the job done. The task consumed two weeks. Apparently, education wasn't something to be
rushed into.
.
When set on the new site, the schoolhouse faced east, ~d was furnished with walnut benches
having at" least three pupils to each one. It was painted brown on the outside,and named' 'BroWn
Jug" in consequence. However, the name was eventually discarded, the building painted white
and re-named "Deer Creek, " for the little creek that flows nearby.
An old record of 1886, shows the teacher's salary for that entire term was $210.00 and the cost
of ,incidentals, $22:QQ.·

KANSAS RIVER STEAMBOATS
fvlany of us in this -2bfh--Century have-wondered if there VJere any steamboats on the
Kansas river. As we see it today, it is nothing but a small stream, hardly a rowboat
can navigate on it. Many of us have seen the days when this river could rampage and
vJipe out homes and many a crop land. VJith the lakes VJe now have, they keep this old
river pretty \'/ell under control and we fear not of it flooding. There is a'very interesting story that has been passed down through the generations and also appeared
in the first newspaper of Lecompton called ;Tb.~. Jecompton Union" in 1856 about a sidewheeler that navigated the Kansas river. At this time Mrs. Rachel Jane Todhunter, an
early pioneer lady of Lecompton and some other ladies saw a side-wheeler called the
~Saerie QueenHtied up at the wharf. The ladies looked upon the beautiful deck of the
side-wheeler and thought what a wonderful place to have a Ball. Mrs. Todhunter.was
well acquainted v/ith tk. Geary, the governor of the Kansas Territory, so she and the
ladies approached him and asked him to persuade the Captain of the boat to have a Ball
that evening.on the boat. The Captain was agreeable, so the ladies hurried about the
communi,ty spreading the vJord so everyone could prepare their costumes for the evening.
The Captain readied the boat, the music was found and that evening the Ball was held.
The ladies hadct,*~en their ball gowns out of their trunks and displayed their glittering attire for'the first time in the Kansas Territory. This was probably the first
Ball he,ld in the Territory of Kansas. This shovJed the pioneers~ ability to contrive to
have a wonderful time under such difficult circumstances-at that time.
Another interesting article appeared in a later newspaper of Lecompton, called
,"The
Kansas National ' Democrat' on Ivlarch 24, 1859 is as follows:
-',
\\The first trip of the season from Kansas City to this place via Kaw river VJas made
by the Steamer"Silver Lake": Capt. vJilburn, on Monday last. It is a fine sternwhee1
steamer, capable of carrying 50 tons, and well calculated vIe think for the busine,ss of
the river. Through the persuasions of our citizens, on Tuesday morning, the Captain
went up the river as far as Topeka. We were informed by the Captain that some of the
citizens of Lawrence endeavored to dissuade him from coming to this place, stating the
river unnaiJigab1e. The Captain informs that the worst bar in the whole river, he
found below Lawrence. We hope to see the~i1ver LakeUcontinue her trips regularly to
this place and would urge upon our citizens the importance of extending to her a
generous support.N
Andther article in the same paper on May 12, 1859-~This week our wharf has been
enlivened by the arrival of two steamboats, the GUS LINN and SILVER LAKE. The GUS LINN
left Kan,sas City on the 10th instant, and reached here on the 12th, and then proceeded
above as , far as Fort Riley. ~Je think that she will be able, as the river is in good
boatable, order to reach that place.
'
The, SILVER LAKE discharged all her freight here, and took on board a cargo of
corn, and left for Kansas City.,It is the intention of the owners of these boats to run them the entire season up
the Ka~, w~ich, from their light draught of water, vIe think they can. This enterprise,
of navlg~t~ng the Kaw, should, and \"Je.have reason to believe will be warmly seconded
b~ th~ cltlZens of the towns on the rlVer. Merchants having goods at Kansas City \'Ii11
flnd lt much cheaper to have them shipped by either of these steamers than have them
hauled in wagons--an old foggy way of doing. N

Boy Meets Girl
In the spring of 1909 I met Hattie Mae ROSE. She had come to the
~rackett Rural School to take her ninth grade finals.
She arrived on a
horse equipped with a sidesaddle--the first I had ever seen. We got
acquainted that day. Since she had to pass our place on her way to town,
I also was able to see her occasionally then. Later on we sometimes went
to the Baptist Church together on Sundays.
From that point we began to take in an occasional show at the "Nickel",
the first moving picture show west of the Mississippi River. After the
show, we could be found at Wiedemann's Confectionary Shop",-' drinking hot
chocolate topped with either whipped cream or ice cream, and for another
f:ive cents, a bowl of oyster crackers to accompany it.
Another thing about our early acquaintance that I shall never forget
was rece~v~ng a valentine from Hattie.
About this time Hattie joined the Baptist Church. Rev. D.C. BROWN
was its pastor. I remember him particularly as being accustomed to riding
out from Lawrence on his bicycle two Sunday afternoons each month to hold
services in the Barker School House. We often attended and I still claim
the Baptist Church as my own even though I never became a member of it.
In the summer of 1910 I left home and went to work for S.M. GENTRY,
a farmer who lived near enough to Hattie's home so that I could walk to
see her frequently at her parents' home where she lived 'along with her
four younger-not-too-angelic brothers.
Cdurtship Via Horse and Saddle
Hattie attended high school for one and one-half years, rooming with
the Jay BOND family in Lawrence, but illness caused her to leave school
and prevented her returning later, so 'she went to work as a clerk, first
in the Housemen's Clothing Store, then at Barteldes Seed Store and later at
the Kaw Valley Creamery.
An incident occurred about 1912 that I recall vividly. Hattie was
rooming at the Healey Home, 712 Kentucky Street, where several o,ther girls
also stayed. One evening when I arrived by horseback to calIon Hattie,
r was besieged by all the girls asking me to remain there for the night.
I promptly refused until I learned that on the previous night a large
black man had climbed through an open window on the porch into the room
of one of the girls. He was frightened away by her screams. A call to
the police only 1/2 block away brought a response thirty minutes later,
and': to make sure their arrival was expected by everyone, they came with
sir~ns blasting.
So I consented to remain for the night on the porch.
You never saw girls move so fast in preparing me a bed there. I tied my
horse to a tree in Central Park, and fortunately no one came along in the
night and turned him loose.
Courtship Via Horse and Buggy
One spring day in 1912, I walked to Lawrence, rented a horse and buggy
for ,$1. 50, picked up Hattie, drove eight miles southwest of Lawrence to the
farm: where my brother Bill and his wife Myrtle lived, and spent the evening
there. On the way back to town the weather changed and we liked to freeze.
I took Hattie back to her rooming house, returned the' horse to his stable,

�97
walked the five miles back to my place of employment. This warmed me as
the day which had started out warm and balmy had turned bitter cold to
the discomfort of both of us.
Later'.that spring I moved back to myoId home with my father as failing
health forced him to sell the home. We moved to the farm in Pleasant Valley
where my brother Bill was living. Later that summer I bought brother Bill
out and my father and I established a partnership.
During this time Hattie had returned to her parental home fourteen miles
from me, so I usually drove to the ROSE home on Saturday nights and remained
there until Sunday night. Once in awhile it was nearer Monday morning when
I got home. Often I would fall asleep in the saddle and let my horse take
me home. On one of these occasions, Hattie and I started out early on Sunday
m'orning for a family reunion to be held at the home of Hattie's uncle and
aunt, Jake and Nancy C~lliINGS,who lived eight miles southwest of Stull.
By the time I had made that sixteen~ile trip plus fourteen miles back to my
place, I had had a day!
Start of Our Married Life
After about six years of getting "acquainted", Hattie and I were married
on April 28, 1915. It was wild crabapple time, all in bloom. The wedding
took place at the ROSE home with Rev. O.C. BROWN, the pastor. Several close
relatives were there. We left for our new home--borrowing a pillow and
walking around the hill to our future home. I still live there.
,
Hattie's maternal grandparents, Joseph H. and Martha (RANDOLPH) HARRISON
had settled here in 1854 and had homesteaded this farm. The house nestles
co'sily just under the brow of a hill on the sunny southern slope. Much of
the lumber for it was hauled from Leavenworth by ox-cart, and so well was it
built by its owner-builder that it stands today in good condition. Three
generations were born in this house: Lucy HARRISON (ROSE), Hattie ROSE
(WIGGINS), and our daughter Elizabeth WIGGINS (SANDERS).
The day before our wedding, we bought our furniture from the C.J.
ERICKSEN Company--a cookstove, kitchen cabinet, bed springs, mattress,
dresser, buffet, oak rocking chair, round oak table, and 6 oak chairs at
$1..75 each. That is all I can remember--the total for all was $125.00
delivered. Mrs. ERICKSEN took off $5.00 because we paid cash.
With the $5.00, we bought things at Frank STRONG and Clark PRINGLE's
grocery store--pepper, salt, spices, sugar, flour, lard and other items.
The cash we paid. for the furniture was borrowed from Jack KELSEY, a
cattle buyer, also a friend. I still have the round oak table and oak
rocking chair.
A few days after we were married, we we~e shivareed by ten men. When
they arrived we were sound asleep but not for long! One man set his shotgun on the window sill near our bed--BOOM--we were not long getting up!
We thought we had to dress up, which took time in the near dark room. The
men.said, "If.you don't come out soon, we are coming in after you!" A few
days later some of the men came to our place. They took up a collection
and ,bought us six nice silver spoons. We were shivareed again by the
women and kids.
Next about our eats--we had milk, made our own butter and cottage
cheese, did not have much meat.·We often had tuna salad. Hattie would
put aster leaves in a bowl to make it look nice. We had the aster bed in
an old corn planter wheel. When bringing our mules by the aster bed from
the pasture, they ate some of the asters and made Hattie very unhappy.
Often I would hum, "Asters by the brookside make asters in the brook , "
which never failed to get a rise out of her.

�98
We took in less than $150.00 the first year. We had no telephone bills,
no lights, no gas. We sold some cream--got a check for 5l¢, butterfat l7¢
per pound. We raised some potatoes. Hattie baked bread--the first was a
dandy, later she became a champion. Hattie was a good cook, an expert at
making sour cream raisin pie, using lard to make the pie crust. We had a
few chickens, enough 'eggs to get by. Fried eggs good and brown are good
eating if you are hungry. I still would like to have some sour cream
raisin pie, also some raw fried potatoes crusty. We had one cow giving
milk, two heifers to be fresh later, several small heifers.
In 1916, we had more ground to farm. It was a wet year, we planted
the corn the third time. It was getting late by that time and Jack Frost
finished it. The second year we butchered a hog--had meat, lard and also
a telephone.
The first year we were married we did not have meat very often. We
would buy 25 cents worth of round steak and have brown gravy--a treat. We
raised a few chickens, tried to have one big enough to eat by the 4th of
July. Sometimes it would not be too big--maybe two pounds. We also had
h,omemade ice cream and angelfood cake. We were poor, but happy.
,One time my mother-in-law brought a fried young squirrel to a picnic
we had. It sure was good. Now we won't even eat one. Mr. ROSE always
h,ad a big garden--winter onions, surely good in early spring. Also parsnips,
and some years when cabbage was plentiful, they would make a barrel of kraut.
I~ was kept in the smokehouse.
They gave us some when digging it out (it
was frozen) and surely good raw. They also buried apples. The ROSE boys
and I would run our arms back in a hole and get an apple--sometimes the
apple would taste like the ground, but good.
Hattie loved flowers and had lots of them. She enjoyed the clubs
she belonged to and especially the Lawrence Flower Club for which she helped
judge flower shows several times. We planted many flowers and trees throughout the years. This year I counted 43 different flowers and 37 trees and
bushes that bloom annually on our place. In the spring, I have a "Flower
Day" and invite the ladies in the neighborhood to come and enjoy the flowers
a~d have refreshments with me.
I look forward to this each year.

PRESIDENT'S LETTER
This past year has been a very productive time for our society. Many
sizeable tasks have been undertaken. The gathering and preserving of the
older records from our county is certainly going forward with great gusto.
The largest project, 6f course, being the complete cemetery census of
Douglas County. The many people who contributed to this mammoth task and
will continue to contribute until it has been completed will have the unending gratitude of this writer.
The many people, both local and those who are in touch by mail or
telephone, contributed many hours of their time and interest although they
were not in our society. To all of them, a big "THANKS". But, honorable
mention must be made of the special people who helped read the stones in the
severe cold last winter. This took much determination on their part and
great dedication to the task set before them. 'Because they worked such long,
cold hours, I want to here recognize each one:

EDITOR'S MESSAGE
The one person who is missing from the list above without whom the
Cemetery Project would not have progressed to where it is today is out
President, Jean Snedeger. Her enthusiasm and dedication to this important
task have been extraordinary. The record shows that during the past year
she has copied more than 15,000 Douglas county cemetery stones. She deserves
our sincere gratitude.
I wish to thank all of those people who continue to contribute their
time and material to "The Pioneer." If there are particular articles or
records which you would like to see in future issues of "The Pioneer,"
please let me know. Your suggestions are always welcome.
Sincerely,
Judy Sweets

MURRAY FAMILY
Rolf Camel MURRAY came with his family to Lawrence, KS in 1900 from
Seneca, KS. Rolf was born 1861 at Peoria, IL. His~father had died during
the battle of Mt. Kenesaw in 1864. His widowed. mother was left to care for
Rolf, his sister Irene and brother, Francelo. Rolf., the youngest, cared
for his ailing mother until her death in 1888. Irene had died in 1885 and
her husband had disappeared previously, leaving Rolf to raise their three
children. Rolf married in 1891 to Fanny Josephine WILLIAMS'. She was 14,
he 30. Fanny's widowed mother mistakenly thought that Rolf had come to
court her rather than Fanny, since she was closer to his age. Fanny and. Rolf
had ten children: Orville Orvest (1893-1934); Clella Elsie (1895);
Melvin Millard (1897-1973); Fay Etta (1899); Nina Hazel (1901);
Iram Rueben (1906-1907); Alta Ruby (1903-.
); Leslie Elmer (1908-1971);
Bernice Irene (1915-1948); and Viva Ariel 1912-1916).
This information was submitted by Nancy Ellen Robinson, granddaughter of
Clella MURRAY TAPLEY. Nancy has in her possession an autograph book of
her grandmother's containing autographs of Clella's classmates of 1912 at
Kanwaka School in Lawrence. If you would like to have her check and see if
your ancestors signed it, please send a SASE to Nancy Robinson, 236 W. Gregory
Road, Central Point, OR 97502. Teachers signing were: Edith WOLGAMOTT, Mabel

THE OLD QUAKER MEETING HOUSE DISAP.PEARS

I

I'

I1_--- ___ ___ _ __ _

_.

Abstracted from an article by Edward Bumgardner in the
Journal World, (Lawrence, Kansas), Saturday. August 23. 1941.
The recent dismantllng of the old Quaker church in east
Lawrence and the use of part of the material for the construction
of a new temple of worship makes the present seem to be an appropriate time to recount briefly the history of the old church and
pay tribute to the memory of some of the worthy citizens who were
accustome~ to assemble under its roof.
Soon after the settlement of Indiana Quakers at Springdale.
Kansas in 1857. came the founding ot a Quaker settlement about
'
twelve miles east of Lawrence. The 'first settlers were Jonathan
and Phoebe MENDENHALL. Lev1 and Sarah WOODARD. and George ROGERS.
This community was called Springfield. In 1869. Springfield.
thereafter known as HESPER. requested a qUarterly meeting wh1ch
wasse,t upon the f1fth of the th1rd month of 1870. At one time
H'e'sper had a membership of 1400.
. The "fIrst Quaker meeting 1n Lawrence was held in July. 1863. \:-- ,
less than a month before Quantril1"fs raid. In 1865. several
.
Quaker families settled 1n Lawrence. Washington HADLEY was the
f1rst to settle here. He was to become the f1rst president of
the National Bank of Lawrence. the president of the gas company.
served two terms as mayor of Lawrence. and took an act1ve part
in the format1on,of the yearly meeting after serving as the first
clerk of the ReS'pST' Quarterly meeting.
The f1rstpreacher for the Lawrence congregation was Mrs.
M. Cox. who served from 1867 to 1879 without pay. She was
succeeded by Wil11am NICHOLSON. The first supported pastor in
the state was John VI~NEDGE. who ministered to the HOMESTEAD
monthly meet1ngs in 1886. The first paid pastor in Lawrence was
William WOOTEN. who served from 1897 to 1908.
'
The Kansas Yearly Meet1ng of Friends was organized in 1872
and figured in notable migrat10n of Friends to Kansas. The Fr1ends
~eet1ng house stood on a knoll 1n east Lawrence from 1872 to the
present summer (1941). Stone and lumber from the old structure
were used in the new Friends church at ,S:ixteenth and New Hampshire
streets.
'
The first meet1ng 1n the new temple Was in October. 1872.
The total attendance was estimated at 3000. That was more than
the total number reported by the four qUarterly meetings. (Springdale had 536 members; Hesper 720; Cottonwood 594; and Spring River

767) .

Other Lawrence area Quakers mentioned in this rather lengthy
article were: Richard A. COX. Mahlon H. NEWLIN. Albert L.• COX. ""
John M. NEWLIN. Edmund STANLEY. Joh:ij D. MILES. Laban J. MILES. . . . .
Mrs. A. HENLEY. and Walter Roscoe STUBBS. who later became Govet-n6r'
of the state of Kansas.

Ahnentafel is a German word which means ancestor table(i.e. Ahnen=
It is a concise way in which to list your ancestors and
their vital statistics in an easily readible form.
By using the pedigree chart you can easily construct your own Ahnentafel. For
example. counting yourself as number one (Hl) on your pedigree chart. simply
transfer your name and pedigree number and your year and state (or country) of
birth to the top of the Ahnentafel chart. The names and dates of your parents.
(#2 and #3) • are then listed in numerical order under your name 'on the. chart.
'rhen begin listing your paternal grandparents' names and dates in their numertcal
order. followed by your maternal grandparents. Continue in this manner. listing
as many of your ancestors as you have on your pedigree chart. The empty spaces on
your pedigree chart are skipped completely on your Ahnentafel chart. 'l'hus. i f
you kno..., the name of your paternal great-grandfather. but not the name of yC'ur
paternal great-grandmother. you would list his name (#8). skip her·number (#9) and
go on to person #10.
Using the following examples of an actual pedigree and ahnentafel. it is easy
to see in what manner the Ahnentafel was constructed. Gail lists herself as #1.
followed by her father (#2) and her mother (1f3). She then lists her paternal
grandparents (H4 and #5). her maternal grandparents (#6 and #7) and her paternal
great-grandparents (#8.#9.#10 &amp; #1.1) • Sl..nce the names of her maternal great-grandparents are at this time unknown. their numbers are not written on the Ahnentafel
chart. Instead. the next number and name listed is that of the paternal greatgreat-grandfather (#16), whose name is known.
Remember that a father's number is always twice that ~f his child's, while a
mother's number is always one more than her husband's. Looking at our example.
notice that the father of Frank Garrett (#4) is Marcus Garrett (2 X #4= #8) ,
while his mother is Clara Belle Speer (#8+1=#9). To find the child of Edwin M.•
Jenkins (#10). simply divide by two and find that #5 (Nona Jenkins) is his
daughter.
Because of their compact quality, Ahnentafels are handy for exchanges with
other genealogists and show at a glance which ancestors you have knowledge of and
which ones you are still seeking.
On the following page we show the Ahnentafel of one of our members. Gail'
Garrett Van Loenen. what not try to construct· your ~ Ahnentafel. using the
steps outlined above?

PIONEER CEMETERY
Rich in History
Much of Its Story is Lost Thru
Failure to Keep Records
One of the most interesting landmarks in Douglas county to those with
a historical turn of mind is the old Pioneer cemetery, originally called
Oread cemetery. It was the first public burying ground for the use of
citizens of Lawrence.
Much of the early history of Lawrence may be reconstructed in the mind
of the observer by reading the inscriptions on the moss covered and broken
head stones in the cemetery.
The cemetery is located southwest of the University, on the road
leading from the campus to Number Six school. It is a six-acre plot, a
little north of the center of the east side of the NE quarter of .section 2,
township 13, range 19.
According to information compiled by Elmer E. BROWN, the land where
the cemetery is located was preempted by Aaron PERRY. It was established
soon after the settlement of Lawrence and burial was by permission and without system or plot.
Burials may have been. made prior to 1855 but the first burial by
marked monument was that of Cornelius C&amp;~BE~L. The inscription on the
stone says that he died on April 22, 1855 at the age of 56 years.
The second oldest burial, according to marked stones, was that of
Carl G. RAU.
The third burial was that of Thomas W. BARBER, who died on December 6,
1855.
QUANTRILL's raid on August 21, 1863 added many new gra"es to the
cemetery. Most of the victims were interred there but upon opening Oak Hill
cemetery in 1865 many bodies of QUANTRILL's victims were moved to the new
burial ground. A suitable monument was erected to the victims. According
to stones remaining in the old burial grounds a large number of the victims
of the raid still rest where they were first buried. The reinterment of the
QUANTRILL victims was carried out in 1872. Elmer E. BROWN says the G.A.R.,
thru the efforts of C.W. SMITH, applied to the government for markers for
the graves of the Wisconsin soldiers and these were finally received and set
up by Charlie APITZ under the direction of SMITH. Some 20 of these markers
are still in the Pioneer plot.
BROWN says that thru the efforts of Mr. SMITH funds were raised to
build a monument to the unknown dead of the Civil war. O. WHIPPLE, a
plasterer and stone mason and a member of the G.A.R., built a monument of
brick and plastered it. Metal letters forming an inscription were placed
on it but have long since fallen away.
BROWN says the cemetery was once surrounded by a well-laid dry rock
wall fence. Boys after rabbits tore down the wall and the stone was
gradually hauled away.

�31

A black locust thicket grew over most of the ground and when the
surroundi~g property came into the possession of N.A. GWIN, he made the

proposition that if materials were furnished he would fence the ground and
turn his herd of goats in to clean off the brush. The fence was built and
the brush cleared away.
Early in the history of the cemetery, N.P. DEMING found that the deed
to property held by him to the north of the cemetery covered all or a part
of the cemetery, and BROWN says C.W. SMITH raised $135 to purchase the land
from DEMING. The deed was made on April 1, 1867.
The following, written by W.C. SIMONS, is taken from the Lawrence
Journal World of May 11, 1915:
"BEAUTIFUL OLD FORGOTTEN CEMETERY"
Tragic story of the early days of Lawrence written in stone where
early martyrs rest. Records have been lost and many of the dead have been
forgotten. The cemetery came into disuse more than forty years ago, when
Oak Hill was opened.
Within five minutes walk from Mount Oread, with its teeming life, is
a quiet and beautiful city of the dead in which sleep those who passed away
during the early daYS,,~/of Lawrence.
Originally a stony knoll, overlooking the Wakarusa, it has now
a spot of great beauty shaded by trees planted by loving hands many
ago. ~ere sleep early settlers, men,who fell in the border warfare
martyrs to freedom and beside them sleep little babes, who, if they
lived, would now be old men and women, for this quiet and forgotten
was used sixty years ago.

become
years
as
had
cemetery

Here, too, rest a large number of soldiers from Wisconsin regiments,
probably little more than boys when they marched away from their homes in
the sixties, and for half a century they have been resting with their faces
turned toward the azure blue of a Kansas sky.
The story of epidemics which swept away the little ones is told by a
large number of little slabs bearing almost the same date. Perhaps it was
scarlet fever, or diphtheria, before the modern anti-toxins of today were
known, but whatever it was it robbed: the poor homes of the early settlers
of Lawrence of their dearest treasures.
Character there is also in the monuments still standing or lying
broken on the ground. We find the ephemeral American policy of show in a
stucco monument to "tile unknown dead and the solid, enduring work of the
Germans in solid granite set about with iron posts and chains which show
little wear for their half century of exposure.
It was a long way to the old settler, perhaps two miles from Massachusetts s,treet and it was then up almost inaccessible hills, but those
who were living followed the bodies of their dead and planted trees which
have now grown to large proportions. Even these old trees show the marks
of storms which have blown across the hill and have left broken branches
and twisted trunks.

�32

As nearly as can be learned, this old cemetery, which has been known
as Oread,was opened in 1854 or 55,within a year after the town of Lawrence
was founded.
At the corner nearest the city are some evergreens which were planted
by the late N.P. DEMING to mark the graves of his parents. Old Mr. DEMING
loved trees and together with Chancellor MARVIN years ago planted the
walnuts which have grown into the beautiful grove just north of the
university buildings.
The very large proportion of soldiers from the Third Wisconsin cavalry
buried in the old cemetery is said to be due to the prevalence of an epidemic--Wi11iam CRUTCHFIELD says Cho1era--that was prevailing here while
this regiment was in camp enroute to some more southerly point. Others
admit the prevalence of disease but do not think it was cholera. Mr.
EDWARDS and Mr. HUDDLESTON remember the unusual mortality among the Wisconsin men while the Third was temporarily here, but as stated, they do not
agree with Mr. CRUTCHFIELD as to the cause. All the burials of the men
from the Wisconsin regiment seem to have been made in the old cemetery, and
more of them, in fact, than the old headstones disclose, because some of
the bodies, none knows how many, have been taken up and sent East, and
still others are in Oak Hill. The Wisconsin regiment did not have any
fight while here, all are positive, and they are certain its mortality was
caused by disease.
Not a line of the original records about the old cemetery are in
existence, so far as the Oak Hill cemetery officials 'and the old settlers know.
The Rev. L.R. NICHOLS, who died in Lawrence in 1858 and was buried in
the old cemetery and whose body is yet there, is described by William
CRUTCHFIELD as "A young preacher, probably 21 years old, who did not have
any pastorate, but 'preached around' here and there." He had not been
ordained, Mr. CRUTCHFIELD thinks, but was a divinity student out getting
experience. He died of a fever.
Charles L. EDWARDS remembers distinctly the first death in Lawrence,
and remembers seeing the funeral procession wind about the foot.and slopes
of Mount Oread on its way westward. Mr. Edwards was not at the burial,
but was very certain the interment was made in the old cemetery and that
it was the first interment therein. The dead man was name~d POMEROY (from
ANDRES history the name is Moses POMEROY)" and he was a near relative of
S.C. POMEROY, afterwards United States senator from Kansas.
David C. BUFFMAN, who is buried in the old cemetery, and who died
September 17, 1856, was shot by men, probably "border Ruffians, II who
robbed him of his horses while he was working±~ the field. He resisted,
or at least protested, and was murdered in cold blood. He did not die at
the time, but lingered, and was able to tell how he came to meet his death.
This-incident Mr. EDWARDS remembers distinctly.
Thomas W. BARBER, an uncle of O.P. BARBER, of Lawrence, died at a
point on the highway four miles west of Lawrence, December 6, 1855, under
the following circumstances;
He and his brother Robert and Thomas PIERSON, brother-in-law of the
BARBERS, were returning to their homes eight miles southwest of Lawrence,
following the old California road. They had reached a point where their

�33

route swerved from the California road toward the southwest when they saw
at a distance to the northwest a party of men supposed by them to number
a hundred or so. As they looked two of the three men rode away from the
main body and "cutting across" intercepted them. The Lawrence men anticipated no trouble and did not run. As they came up to the two men one of
the latter engaged the~ in conversation, and asked them where they were
from. Thomas BARBER answered, "Lawrence." One of the two, a quite young
man, then began to curse and said, "Why don't you fellows obey the law?"
and pulling a pistol fired directly at Thomas BARBER's chest, and followed
. it up with a shot aimed at Robert BARBER's groin. This second shot passed
through the saddle seat and into the horse Robert BARBER was riding. All
five then put spurs to their horses, riding directly away. from each other-one party eastward, the other westward. Robert BARBER, the only one of the
Lawrence men armed, shot at the two retreating men several times, and it
is thought he slightly wounded one of them. About a hundred yards west of
where the shooting took place Thomas BARBER sank from his horse, saying
he was shot. The others dismounted and Thomas died a few moments later.
The slayer of BARBER was never identified.
Thomas BARBER was born in 1814, and came to Kansas from New Paris,
Ohio.
Following is given the names and some of the data to be found on the
stones:
Caro1ita M., daughter of W. M. and M. L. BURHANS, July 25, 1868,
aged 19 months
At Rest, Jacob S., son of Absolom and Anna T. HOLCOMB, June 7,

(This slab which stands erect has been used as a mark by hunters.)
L. F. AHRBERG, June 12, 1865.
L. M. HOLTZLANDER, Oct. 13, 1864. (This monument is leaning against
a tree and the grave it formerly marked may have been opened.)
A large stucco monument is marked with a copper slab upon which
appeared originally in white letters the following inscription:
"To the unknown dead Union Soldiers of the Civil war."
A broken slab, with a hand pointing upwards, was marked:
Frances M., wife ofJ.C. CUNNINGHAM, Aug. 12, 1864.
"I know that my Redeemer liveth."
Nearby are a large number of stones evidently furnished by the Federal
government to mark the graves of soldiers. Simply the name and company is
given and if one wishes further information there are somewhere the original
rosters of the companies.

These two stones, which bear the mark of Ech'lb'ry and Cribb LEAVENWORTH,
evidently tell the sad story of two brothers called but two weeks apart.
Margaret J. SWEEZER, Aug. 26, 1855, 2 years.
Beside some large evergreens is a stone marked: - Martha GRAHAM,
Mar. 11, 1858, Age 53. Louisa O. GRAHAM, Feb. 7, 1858, Age 17. "The Lord
is my Shepherd I'll not want." Wife and Daughter of Jno. M. GRAHAM.
James HALL, May 5, 1867. Age 54. At this grave is a locust tree
nearly two feet in diameter and about it are a number of graves ~arked with
ordinary stones.
In the south-western part. of the cemetery are a lot of graves, no
telling just how many, simply marked with the plain limestone pi~ked up in
the cemetery and placed to mark the grave temporarily until a better mark
could be secured. Those who placed their loved ones there have forgotten
them and today there is probably no one who cares.
Delia DILLARD, Died 1863. Age 73.
A masonic insignia also marked the stone of John BERRY, Jan. 30,
1869. Age 25 years.
"Meet me in Heaven" are the words above a carved hand holding a
bouquet and below appears Samuel JONES, Feb. 5, 1868. Age 26. ,
In Memory of Francis KILLAM, May 25, 1857. Age 53. "Blessed' are Dead
who die in the Lord."
Mary Ann, Daughter of L.C. &amp; E. PEET, April 10, 1857. Age 1 year.
The best preserved grave and markings in the cemetery is the one
which reads as follows:- Gatte. Carl G. RAU. Geb. 22 Mai 1827, Gest.
4 Nov. 1855. Gewidmet von der Wittwe Elise geb. MAIER, mit ihremkind.
The stone is of solid granite and shows no wear while the four heavy iron
posts connected with chains will stand for a hundred years to come. The
best translation the writer could make is "Husband. Carl G. RAU born May 22,
1827, died Nov. 4, 1855. Erected by the widow, Elise born MAIER, with
their child."
In memory of Cornelius CAMPBELL Apr. 22, 1855. Age 56.

A stone upon which the name STEARNS and the date 64 could be made

There is evidence of an old trail leading through the cemetery and
Mrs. Paul R. BROOKS says that this road was open and used after the cemetery
was abandoned, but was finally ordered closed. The grounds were not fenced
until taken over by Mr. GWIN to be pastured by his goats.
A concensus of the opinions of E. HUDDLESTON, William CRUTCHFIELD
and Charles L. EDWARDS indicates pretty conclusively that the old cemetery
which was deserted in 1865 was abandoned for the most part because it was
comparatively inaccessible--much more so at least than the Oak Hill Cemetery.
Much of the distance was up a stiff grade, and the new site proved so much
more popular that after the new cemetery was opened internments out there
practically ceased. The soil in the old cemetery is said to be for the
most part not so fertile as in Oak Hill, and that fact had considerable
influence in the abandonment.

Charles STARKWEATHER reports that the STARKWEATHER family was living
over the ALLEN hardware store at the N.E. corner of Massachusetts and Seventh
streets at the time of Quantrill's raid. Burials of the following members
of the STARKWEATHER family were made in Pioneer cemetery.
Mary E. MOORE, grandmother of Charles STARKWEATHER, was born in
North Carolina, came to Kansas in April, 1863, died fall of 1872, aged
about 80 years.
John Noble STARKWEATHER, born in Vermont in 1828, came to Kansas in
March, 1863, died in November, 1870. (Father of Charles STARKWEATHER)
Oscar STARKWEATHER, born in Lawrence and died in 1868, age one year.
Not a line of the original records about the old cemetery are in
existence, so far as the Oak Hill cemetery officials and the old settlers
knew.
The date shown on the monument for Sarah PEAKE, Sept. 23, 1882, was
the latest date to be found in the cemetery when Hastie compiled his
Record of Cemeteries of Douglas County, Kansas, in 1939. This probably marks
one of the last burials to be made in the nineteenth century in this cemetery.
Burials were made again beginning in the 1960's. Following is a list of the
twentieth century interments.

PRESIDENT'S LETTER
The past two years have passed quickly. The Douglas County Genealogical
Society has accomplished a great deal, but much work remains to be done. I
have had the good fortune and opportunity to meet, in person and by correspondence,
many endearing and interesting people. Some I will never see but the friendships
made will be remembered for a long time.
My own genealogy work has had to take a back seat to a great extent. But
the rewarding experience of helping others has given me an insight into many
ideas and methods of searching. I would recommend copying records for the
Pioneer,indexing census records, working on cemetery projects, copying city and
county records, etc., as an excellent way to practice, at home, the skills needed
to do research in far away places where your ancestors lived.
A great big thank you to all members and friends who have made the two y e 1:irs
of my presidency enjoyable. Your help and cooperation is greatly appreciated.

Donald Vaughn, President

HURT WHILE FLUSHING SEWERS
John PATTERSON, A City Employee, Injured by Passing Team
John PATTERSON, a city employee, was flushing sewers in the manhole just
south of Winthrop St. at the east end of the old Windsor Hotel, this morning
about 9 o'clock,when he was seriously hurt by one of a team of EVANS Transfer
horses stepping into the open flushtank, and striking him on the head. The
driver did not see that the tank was uncovered. One of the horses hind legs
went down into the tank onto PATTERSON. The horse was rescued from his
perilous position and then PATTERSON was taken out. A Doctor was at once
, summoned, and after his injuries had been temporarily dressed he was taken to
his home. Dr.' SELLARDS found him in great pain and suffering from a bad cut
in the face. PATTERSON also complained of his side.

A PATRIOTIC FAMILY
We were asked to reproduce the clipping printed below, as the various
branches of the KIDWELL family each wishes to preserve a copy in the family
records. We do not know what paper it is taken from. We are glad to reprint
the article with a few other facts we have learned of this unusual family of
brothers. There were ten of them when the war broke out--William, George,
Thomas, John, Luna, Henry, David, Joe, James and Joshua. All of them, except
the last two, served through the war in the. Union army. James was in the
service of the government as a mail carrier, and Joshua was too young. Thomas
was killed in battle. David and Luna were killed by guerrillas in Missouri
shortly after Lee's surrender. All the others lived to return to their home.
Henry KIDWELL was the husband of the Mrs. KIDWELL now living in Barnard. He
died in Eastern Kansas Nov. 24, 1889 and is buried in the soldiers' cemetery at
Fort Scott.
It will be noted that six of the KIDWELL boys were in one company;
ItW.L. Roney, Co. F. 8th Mo. S, M. Cav. Marquette, Kansas, writes: "I
send a list, alphabetically, of brothers in company to which I belonged. I was
First Sergeant most of the time, and have called the roll so often that the
names are all fresh in my memory. There were 23 sets of brothers in the company;
six in one set, four in another, three in two sets, and the remainder pairs.
The sets were as follows: Granvill F. BRYANT, William BRYANT; John BISHOP,
Richard BISHOP; John BLAKE, Joseph BLAKE; Geo. T. DELOSIER, Edward B. DELOSIER;

Many European immigrants settled in Lawrence in its early days. The
1860 census shows 88 from Ireland, 66 from Germany, 71 from England, 26
from Sweden, 16 from Wales, 7 from France, 7 from Scotland, 4 from
Switzerland, 1 each from Denmark, Austria, Holland, Norway and Poland.
Also listed 24 persons from Nova Scotia and 8 from New Brunswick.
The year Lawrence was settled 1854 was a peak year for German
immigration into the U. S.
Germans eventually became the most numerous
Europeans in the Town.
In 1855 there were at least two Germans living in Lawrence.
J. G.
Sands, a saddlemaker and H. Katzenstein, a fabric dealer. The Territorial
census (of 1855) show there were 115 Germans in the Territory.
Germans
were encouraged to emmigrate to Kansas by The New England Emmigrant
~Ai~ Company. __ . ____._____ ._

PIONEER i'-UDlHFE
Reprinted from J~n. 1959

This article was taken from Ford Times, Ford Meter Box Co.,
January, 1980.
The hospital news in our local paper lists the births, and
while there may be some babies born in private homes in this
community they're either extremely rare or don't get into print.
In most of our country nearly all deliveries are in ho~pitals,
and doctors are in attendance at a large percentage of the
others.
As a result, loss of babies in childbirth is uncommon
and loss of mothers has approached zero.
The story of my grandmother makes an interesting contrast.
She died before I was born but my mother told me memories of her
childhood when Grandmother evideritly served as midwife for a
large number of farm families back in the 1~70's.
Grandmother
had eight children of her own, did all the managing and much of
the work in running the home on the farm, and still had time to
help all the neighbors in times 'of illtiess, birth and death.
Pay for such service was unthought of.
Mother recalled many times when, as a little child, she
would be awakened in the. night by a man coming to their home on
horseback, hearing a short muffled conversation, then Grandmother
riding away on a farm horse, lantern in one hand and a bag hanging on the saddle.
Grandmother would generally be back at
breakfast but none of the children felt bold enough to ask what
had happened.
They had learned that if they waited patiently
for a while it would be ~entioned in a casual way th~t some
neighbor had a baby born last night.
There is no way of kriowing what losses, if any, my grandmother had in her midwife service. She was lacking in many
things now considered necessary in obstetrics, and I suppose
our present-day obstetricians wonder how Grandmother (and the
countl.ess other "grandmothers" of a century ago) could do as
well as she did. But no doctor could have served less selfishly
or with more devotion and tender loving care, and these things
may be almost as important in most cases.as.the modern techniques
and equipment in our fine new hospitals..

The following is a copy of a review by Louise M. EVERTON of a book by one of our
members, Dr. Thomas GORTON. It appeared in the November-December, 1982 issue
of The Genealogical Helper.
SAMUEL GORTON OF RHODE ISLAND AND HIS DESCENDANTS, 1982. Published by Gateway
Press, Inc. Written by and available from Thomas GORTON, 831 Illinois Street,
Lawrence, KS ·66044. Hardbound, 6x9 inches, 568 pages, indexed, $30.00.

An attempt to trace the lineage of as many living descendants of Samuel
GORTON as possible and to. provide a new historical biography of the champion
of political and religious freedom, drawing largely upon original source
material, are the twofold, purposes of this history. Samuel GORTON, a towering
Colonial figure of whom his descendants might well be proud, was an early
Governor of Rhode Island and founder of the town of Warwick. He was born in
. the chape1ry of Gorton, city of Manchester, Lancashire, England. He was baptized on 12 February 1592/93. Samuel married, sometime before 1630, Mary
MAPLETT in England, they were parents to nine surviving children. Samuel and
Mary, several small children and Mary's. middle-aged servant, Ellen ALDRIDGE,
arrived in Boston from-England about March 1636/37. This family's movements
to Plymouth, Aquidneck, Providence, Pawtuxet, Shawomet, back to England and
then again returning to America are chronicled by the author. Twelve generations of the Samuel and Mary GORTON family are included in this fine history.
A.numbering system has been used to easily identify each descendant. A fu11name index completes this fine history.

SLAVES IN LECOMPTON
Yes, through research, we have found some interesting stories of the early
slaves of Lecompton. In the Lawrence Daily Journal World, March 13,. 1933, it
states "The first census of Kansas, taken February 28, 1855, showed there were
151 free Negros and 193 slaves. During the years 1854, 1855 and 1856, the slave
population increased to over 400, owned by about fifty slaveholders. But when
it became apparent that the Free State men were in the majority in Kansas ,. and
the slave code was abolished by the first state legislature, February 23, 1860,
the slave owners left the ~erritory and took their slaves with them.
In 1855, Col. H.T. TITUS and GeorgeW. CLARKE, of Lecompton, jointly owned
a slave named Ann CLARKE. She ran away to Topeka, but was arrested and returned
to her masters; but soon after escaped again and succeeded in making her way,
through the underground railway, to Chicago.
Douglas City, a short distance below Lecompton, on the Kaw river, is one of
the ghost towns of Douglas county. There were two slaveholders in Douglas City;
Mr. ELLISON and Mr. WALLIS. A slave named Buck JONES, owned by Mr. DOUGLAS, in
Lecompton, bought his freedom by working for wages in Lecompton.
The Lecompton Union, (newspaper) in 1856, offered a reward of $50 for the
return of "Judy" a slave, who was supposed to be secreted in Lawrence.
A Mr. BROOKS, in Lecompton, in 1855-56, owned four slaves. Judge Rush
ELMORE of the Kansas Territorial Supreme Court, brought fourteen slaves from
Alabama to Lecompton; but soon removed them to his farm, one mile south of
Tecumseh, in Shawnee county.'
There were slaves in Jefferson County. A man named SKAGGS in Kentucky
township, owned twenty-seven; but took them to Texas in 1859. Our subject was
one of these slaves, as he is listed in the 1855 census, as living with his
owner James SKAGGS, on the list of settlers on the Kansas Half Breed lands
opposite Douglas City, east of Lecompton. Also is listed in this same census
Mr. WID. F. BAYNE, whom our subject mentions in his article who was his wife's
master.
The following article was found in' "The Lecompton Sun"Friday, June 24, 1904.'
We thought this article would be interesting to our readers, as this. slave
Robert SKEGGS(SKAGGS) is buried at East View Cemetery, at Big Springs, Kansas.
The home that he bought is now owned by Art and Ethel PETERSILIE on County Road
111025, northeast of Big'Springs in Douglas County.
Robert SKEGGS (SKAGGS) who lives in the southwest part of this township,
is the only man on earth who was a slave in the city of Lecompton. Our illustration is a pretty fair likeness of Mr. SKEGGS as he looks today. Mr. SKEGGS'
history would read like a story from another world; as indeed it is. Half of his
life was spent in slavery, he having been almost 40 years old when his master
told him he was free .. The old gentleman says he is nearly 82 years old and the
way he first learned his age was at the time of his old master's death when the
appraisers were fixing the value of the slaves before dividing the property.
His young master gave his age as the same as that of his sister and she was 25.
His young master took him at.$700. though the slave trader in his old home in
Kentucky said, if they would put him on the block he would start him at $1800.
for he knew his trade would sell him well. He was a blacksmith. .His master,
James SKEGGS, brought him to Kansas in 1853, and they settled and built a cabin
in Jefferson county on the farm that Matt JONES sold to Charles STARK a few
years ago. Mr. SKEGGS remembers when there was only one house in Lecompton and

�186

that was a "whiskey house." When he was a
slave he hewed, in the timber, the frame
work for the house that Mr. LEAMER lived in
for so many years and was torn down to give
place to his present residence. When Kansas
was admitted as a free state, his master
took him to Texas where he worked six years
a slave and two years a free man before he
got money to come· back to Kansas and see. his '.
wife's old master, Billy BAYNES, who lived
near Williamstown in Jefferson county. The
story of Mr. BAYNES' help and friendship and
the magnanimous way in which he gave Mrs.
SKEGGS her freedom. is a chapter by itself and
can not be told at this time. Mr. SKEGGS
spent his first year of. freedom farming .on
the shares; he got the ninth row of corn or
one bushel to the other man's eight. His
wife worked for her clothes and victuals
and the clothes and victuals of two of his
sister,' s children that s_he was raising.
The second year he got half and that year
made enough to "come back" to Kansas.

r.

ROBERT SKEGGS

Mr. SKEGGS and his wife are well respected by their neighbors. They are
honest, peacable, hardworking, colored people. They own the farm where they live
and owe no man a dollar. They are kind and hospitable and bear no resentment to
the system that kept them in slavery so long, and yet so long ago that a new
generation has grown up that never saw a human being that was once called the
property of others. Mr. SKEGGS often comes to town when he has business here
and never otherwise, for he is in no sense a loafer. He has promised to attend
the celebration at Lecompton, July 4th, and if his wife is able to come he will
bring her along.
The old
did not have
from, "but I
too, I could

man says that when he was informed by his'master he was free, he
a cent in the world, did not know where the next meal was coming
didn't worry. I knew if I could make a living for myself and him
get along some way with hi'mleft pff."

Col. NACE, Mr. &amp; Mrs. WID. LEAMER, and a. few other old settlers remember Mr.
SKEGGS from slavery days and they say his word is reliable.

Books for the Athaeneum.
Several books have been.received from Mr. Amos A. LAWRENCE and Mrs.
Mary WEBB, of Boston, for the Lawrence Athaeneum, and a large addition
to those already received will be sent on to this city early in the
spring, when navigation opens.
.
Our Athaeneum, though young and in its infancy, starts with fair
prospects of becoming one of the first Literary Institutions in the
country. May it prosper, and shed its benign influences over the minds
of all the inhabitants of Kansas, is no doubt the ardent wish of its
pioneer founders.

Chart of Lawrence
Gen. S.C. POMEROY who has recently arrived from Massachusetts, brought
with him several beautiful and well-executed charts of Lawrence, as surveyed by Mr. A.D. SEARL, of this city, in October last. It was lithographed
by L.D. BRADFORD and Co., of Boston, on a scale of 450 feet to the inch.
Every lot is numbered on the different streets in regular order. It is
an elegant piece of workmanship, and speaks well for the artists who were
engaged upon it. The streets, thirty-two in number, running north and
south, are named after the several States of the Union. Thirteen of the
streets in the eastern part of the city are named after the thirteen
original States. The balance of the streets west of Massachusetts street
are named after the remaining nineteen States, in the order in which they
were admitted into the Union - California street being at the extreme
western limits of the city. - What has of late been called Main street
is now named after the Old Bay State. - The streets running east and west
are named in honor of distinguished men, who have done something in the
sacred cause of liberty. Ten Parks are 'laid out within the city. Oread
Mount is set apart for schools and churches; Capitol Hill for colleges,
county buildings, etc. Five of these Parks have been named respectively
in honor of Roger Williams, Washington, La Fayette, Hamilton, and Franklin.

PRESIDENT'S LETTER
In looking back over the years since I
it seems genealogy has changed from a hobby
for many. The number of people involved in
low until the last ten years. A tremendous
with both good and bad effects.

have been involved in genealogy,
for most of us to a big business
genealogy had remained relatively
growth has taken place since then

The good effects? Many town, county and state genealogical societies have
been formed, most publishing quarterlies and newsletters concerning their areas
of interest. This has been a great help to searchers.in distant areas. Many
genealogical publishing companies have begun business offering a wealth of
books and data on most areas of the country. Numerous charts and filing systems
and how to do it books are available. Several magazines such as the "Genealogical Helper" have been helpful to many. Professional genealogists are more than
willing to help you for a fee. Workshops and conferences large and small offer
speakers on a wide variety of subjects. Computers are being used to increase
the ease of record keeping and retrieval.
Bad effects? Some county courthouse officials refuse to help genealogists
in any way, or .very grudgingly, because they are too busy or their records have
been stolen. Some professional genealogists turn out to be not so professional.
Some do not render the service paid for. Organizations such as "Beatrice B.
Bailey" prey on the unsuspecting genealogist. The economic situation has
limited some library services. Some such as Kansas City, Mo. are charging a user
fee. The federal government has eliminated interlibrary loan of microfilmed
census records and reduced other service.
To use our time and money wisely, we need to be aware of what is offered
for our use by libraries, societies, family associations, publishers, etc. If
we plan to use a professional, choose with care and investigate thoroughly.
Talk to other genealogists--they are more than willing to share ideas. Finally,
do not take genealogy too seriously, but have fun.
Sincerely,

f)~~

President

The First Baby
The first birth in this city was on the 25th of October last. The
Lawrence Association donated the boy a first class city lot, and named
him Lawrence CARTER, after the city and his parents. We learn that the
little fellow is quite healthy, and is growing finely. May he live to
see our beautiful city ranking with the first in the Union in all that
pertains to wealth, education, morality, and refinement.
We may be allowed to say, in this connection, that the first white
child born in Chicago is now but tt-Jenty-two years old, while the city
boasts of a population of near 80,000. May not a destiny equally
prosperous await our own Lawrence?
--Jane Wiggins, Lawrence, KS

RURAL MAIL DELIVERY AND UNCOLLECTED LETTERS
A letter from the General Services Administration dated lApril 1982,
gives the following information concerning the "Lists of Letters Remaining
in the Lawrence Post Office" which were published in The Herald of Freedom,
8 August 1857, 5 September 1857, and 1 October 1857.
"The rural service began in 1896, but post offices in some cities and
villages employed carriers to deliver mail before that date. Excerpts from
the 1851 United States Postal Guide contain information on the advertisement
of uncollected letters left in post offices."
The 1851 United States Postal Guide states on page SO:
"Advertising Letters.-Under the 5th section of the act of 3d Harch,
1851, providing for the advertising of uncalled for letters, the postmastergeneral has made the following regulations, viz.: When the gross receipts of
the post-office for the then next preceding quarter shall not have exceeded
$500, the postmaster shall advertise such uncalled for letters once in six
weeks only: When such gross receipts shall have exceeded $500, and have not
exceeded $1,000, the postmaster shall advertise once a month only: When such
gross receipts shall have exceeded $1,000, and shall not have exceeded $7;500,
the postmaster shall advertise twice a month: And when such gross receipts
shall have exceeded $7,500, the postmaster shall advertise once a week."
"Such advertisements are to be inserted in one newspaper only, which must
be printed in the city, town, or village in which the post-office is situated,
and must have the largest circulation within the range of delivery of said
office of any paper issued weekly or oftener, printed in such city, town, or
village. Should the publisher of such paper refuse to give such list of
letters one insertion, at one cent for each letter,' the postmaster will designate some other paper for this service. He is also required to post in a
conspicuous place in his office a copy of such list, on the day or day after
the publication thereof."
"If there is no newspaper printed in the city, town, or village where'
the post-office is kept, or if the publishers of all the papers so printed
shall refuse to advertise the letters for the price above mentioned, then
manuscript lists of them are to be made out and posted at such public places
in the town and neighborhood as shall appear best adapted for the information
of the parties concerned. Refused letters are not to be advertised, nor those
which the postmaster expects will be immediately taken from the office. Drop
and box letters, circulars, free packets containing printed documents, speeches,
or other printed matter, are not to be advertised."
--Pauline B.Elniff, Lawrence, KS.

From the Baldwin Ledger, January 28, 1921:
"A big wolf hunt has been planned for the Vinland neighborhood next
Sat. Jan 29. The round up will take place on the A.K. Stephens farm.
W.D. Fordyce is the manager of the drive."

A Free School in Lawrence
A free school was commenced in this city a few weeks since, taught

choice of Mr. Samuel F. TAPPAN, President, and Dr. S.C. HARRINGTON,
Secretary. A school committee of three was appointed for the ensuing
ye~r, consisting of Dr. ROBINSON, Dr. DOY, and J.S. EMERY, Esq.
Mr.
Samuel F. TAPPAN was chosen clerk. We are informed that enough money
has been subscribed to carryon the school for three and a half months.

PRESIDENT'S LETTER
Another half year has slipped by with many excellent accomplishments
and many tasks to keep us busy for some time to come.
This is the second issue of the Pioneer for 82-83. The new cover and
other features have been well received. A big thanks to Editor Grace Embers
and her many helpers.
We could be facing a financial problem in the near future as postage
has doubled to send the Pioneers out of town and the cost of printing and
supplies is.up. We would appreciate hearing from our out of state members
to help us decide if we should mail Pioneers only twice per year, make
them smaller, charge a surcharge for mailing or come up with a better solution.
Ilah Derrick has been busy answering genealogical problems sent in by
people from the west coast to the east coast and even Europe. Thanks for
your work, Ilah.
A lot of credit for our good attendance at our meetings go to the
Calling Committee headed by Dorothy Clarke with Irma Kidwell and Kathryn
Bunton. Thanks for your faithful work.
Wilma Vaughn, our librarian and her committee have been busy cataloguing
the exchange quar.terlies and taking care of our Library. The Friends of the
Lawrence Pulibc Library donated a set of Adjutant Generals records of the
Civil War ·for Illinois. Recent gifts of several volumes of the Connecticut
Nutmegger and NEH &amp; GR by Thomas and Catherine Gorton are greatly appreciated.
Fay Talley is the Hospitality Chairman. Thanks for arranging with many
generous members who make our meetings more enjoyable by furnishing refreshments.
Jane Wiggins, our secretary and Dorothy Wiggins, our treasurer, have spent
many hours writing letters, typing, taking care of memberships, collecting
. dues and filing members'five generation charts, etc. Many thanks to both of
you.
Last but not least, many thanks to Jean Snedeger, our vice-president
for.all the organizing, copying, arranging and innumerable details she has·
taken care of.
. This Pioneer is being distributed at our December meeting which is a
Christmas pot luck dinner held at the South Park Reacreational Center. I
personally want to wish every member and friend a Happy Holiday and a Happy
and Prosperous New Year.

I

Sincerely;

iDonald Vaughn, President

and the Steele House was dismantled with the agreement to build a small
museum with a courtyard and stage for special programs, to be directed,
staffed and maintained by the Clinton Lake Historical Society, Inc. The
Society is making plans for the grand opening of the Bloomington Museum
on May 1, 1983.

OLD.ER HOMES IN LA.TtTRENCE ARE NUMEROUS

From an article by Mrs. Ivan D. Rowe in the Lawrence Daily
Journal \'10 rId , Thursday, December 8, 1960.
The first house· in Lawrence lias builtin 1854.. A log cabin
about: 18 by 24 feet erected by Clark Stearns from Missouri. The
act of organizing the territories of Kansas and Nebraska passed' .
Congress" May 30, 1854, and wi thin a few days after that,' Stearns
arrived ~nd erected his cabin as a squatter's claim, for a farm.
There i~ a cement marker at 615 Massachusetts Street which reads,
"Site of the first house in Lawrence,. 60 feet east."
In June of the same year, Achilles B. Wade built a cabin
east of the present Water Wbrks, on Indiana Street.
The old Babcock barn at 2239 West Drive was converted into
a duplex by George K. Melvin. Mr. Melvin's grandparents were
early settlers. Next door north on the Melvin property is a
small house built and used by the Babcocks for the servants.
At 623 Indiana, Adam Oliver brought his family from
England in 1858 and to Lawrence in 1862. After Quantrill's Raid
the family went to Canada for a short time, but soon returned to
Lawrence and Oliver built the house at 802 Tennessee. Many people
in Lawrence think the 802 Tennessee residence was the fitst house
of the Olivers, but records show otherwise.
Also in the' 800 block on Tennessee 1s 827 prese.ntly owned
by Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Tait.This house was built on the edge of
a ravine which was later filled, leaving the first floor below
the ground level.
_
The Robert Hr Miller house, 1111 East 19th Street, was
built in 1858. It was' a farm' home then, and remained in the
Miller family until 1952.
The house at 743 Indiana Street was built by Hiram Towne, a
well-known contractor. This house was rented by Towne to a
WidOW·, r4rs. Emily Hoyt, but he reserved a room for himself.
Mr. Towne also built North College •.
Mr. F. W. Jaedicke, a. gunsmtt~ and hardware merchant,
purchased the home in 1879 and the house has remained in the
family, being presently owned by a daughter, Mrs. Otto A. Fischer.
The house at 1008 Ohio was built by George W. Bell.
The 718 Locust residence was built in 1869 by A. J. Dicker.
Dicker came to Lawrence in 1868 and built his grocery and mea.t
store in North Lawrence and a year later built his home east of
the store in the following block. The home is now owned and
occupied by Donald Dicke~.
Other homes include:
1106 Rhode Island--occupied by Tom Delahunty and his sister
was built about 1870 by Tom's f:3..ther, R •. Delahunty., He ';ias in
the transfer business when he came to Lawrence in 1867.
702 Rhode Island--built by Julius Fischer in 1869. He was
one of the original 15 Germans who were sent out in 1875 from
Chicago, by a. German Association, to found the town of Eudora.

Abbie VANCIL, died May 16, 1857, age 13 yrs. 2 mos •.
Daniel VANCIL, died Jan. 3, 1864, age 50 yrs. 7 mos. 8 ds.
The VANCIL family lived in the Bloomington area which lies in the
valley about one mile north of the·cemetery. It is not known how many
people were buried here, but there are depressions where some of the
graves are located . . According to Ada Lindell in Will Hastie's Record of
Cemeteries of Douglas County, Kansas, six other graves are marked with
rocks at head and foot.
Marshall J. JONES and Mary Ann HOLMES, both born near London, England,
were married January 11, 1842, and came from Harper's Ferry, Va. to Kansas
in the spring of 1856. They had four boys and four girls. Martha PARKER
of the Clinton Lake Historical Society said that their great grandsons·,
Olin and Howard PETEFISH, only knew of four children. Marshall was a
deacon in the Baptist Church.
Hastie states that Marshall preempted the farm on which this cemetery
is a part, and that an indenture was made between Henry and Martha ULRICH
(daughter of Marshall and Mary JONES) to the Jones Cemetery Association
for $5.00 on August 25, 1884. The Trustees were: Henry ULRICH, James M.
HALBERT, Michael CATHERMAN, J.W. MATNEY, and Thomas BOND. These records
are on file in the Secretary of State's Office, Book 36, p. 336.
Marshall, Mary Ann and their oldest son A1pheus Alexander are buried
in this cemetery, all having died within a short time of each other. The
birth, death and marriage information was obtained from the family .Bible
which was later destroyed by fire.

OBITUARIES FROM TENNESSEE NEWSPAPERS
Compiled by: Jill L. Garrett
QUANTRILL, William Clarke., Monument. in
Dedicated to the memory of the 150
fell victims to the inhuman ferocity of
the infamous' Quantrell in his raid upon.
Erected 30 May 1896.

Lawrence County, Kansas:
citizens who defenseless
border guerrillas led by
Larence on 21 A.ug. 1863.

Quantrell, Kansas guerrilla and murderer, was captured in
Kentucky last week; brought to Louisville, badly wounded.
(Nashville Daily Union, 16 May 1865.)
(N. B. He signed his'
name Quantrill; he was born 31 July 1837 at Canal Dover, Ohio,.
died 6 June 1865 in Louisville; was buried in hidden grave at
St. John.' s Catholic Cemetery; in Dec 1887 his remains were moved
to Canal Dover, Ohio.) .
. Man known as T.•. G. Henderson died one. day last week at the
home of Mrs. Parnell in Birmingham, Alabama.. Before he died he
conf'ess'ed to her that he was Charles William Quantrell, the
fam6us Missouri ou~lawr who was supposed to have been killed in
a fight with Federal soldiers in Kentucky near the close of the
.war.
(Florence, A.la., Times, 17 Oct. 1.390.)
. The Lawrence Massacre'~ . Up to this 'morning 128 bodies have
been buried but it is still utterly impossible to obtain a
complete list of theirnames~ as s6 many are so much disfigured
as to prevent recognition, while others are still missing, and
are supposed to be concealed in the woods nearby or, they may
be in the ruins of the buildings, besides many left. with Lane
in pursui t of Marmaduke and not yet returned •.
Fifty of Quantrell'sgang who are citizens o~ Jackson
County, Missouri, and are all well known here and have been
considered Union men; many of them are paroled prisoners from
Pemberton's army, and some· of them are from Price's command,
from the fact that they are much sunburnt and have the appearance of having been long in the service.
After they had
some of them becama
their. horses" there
as to who they were

accomplished the destruction of Lawrence,
much intoxicated, but being strapped to
were none left behind to give information
or where they were from •.

Aug. 22--The citizens of Lawrence, shot by QUantrell's
band, number 108, incl ud ing the ~1aj or and his son. The inhabitant~ fled into ravines and bushes, where they were fired into
by the guerrillas. Twenty-five negro recruits were shot. The
guerrillas took all the money in the pockets of citizens and in
houses. They stole ladies jewelry even the rings from their
fingers.

QUANTRILL, William Clarke--continued
Jim Lane escaped on horseback, rallied about 200 m~n and
followed Quantrell about 12 miles south of Lawrenc~, where a
fight occurred,. the resul.t of which is unknow-rl. Quantrell is
now retreatirig toward Missouri, burning everything on his route.
No resistance was made at Lawrence, the people being shot down
as they ran through the streets in their night clottles, and
their. bodies thrown into 'wells and cisterns. The ci tizens had
been expecting this raid and had organized into companied for
defence, but from assurances that '~usmtrell would not invade
K~nsas, their organizations were abandoned and the gue~rillas
found them entirely defenceless. (Nashville Daily Union,
22 Aug 1863.)
Quantrell's force reached the headwaters of Grand River,
Cass County, Missouri, about noon on August 25, after burning
Lawrence and. then divided into squads of from 40 to 50, and
scattered in variOus. directions.
Quantrell's men told many persons before reaching Lawrence
that they were going to destroy the tOTl'ln, but by some strange
fatality~ the people along the route, who might easily have
gotten word to Lawrence, did not try. A messenger was sent by
capt. Coleman to notify the people of Lawrence of Quantrell's
appr'oach, but f~1.1ed to get through.
(Nashville Daily Uni-on,
25 Aug 1 8 6 5 ) ·
.
'Quantrell's raid made 85 widows and 250 orphans.
Dispatch, 28 Aug 1863.)

(Nashville

Aug 20--Guerrillas under Quantrell with SOO'men crossed
into'Kansas near Gardner, 4 mile~ below Leavenworth, and started
for Lawrence and pillaged stores, shot citizens and fired
houses.
(Nashville Dispatch, 22 Aug 1863.)
Quantrell's band is now retreating toward Missouri, burning
everything on the route. His force consists of guerrillas who
have been robbing and murdering along the border for months~
(Nashville Dispatch 23 Aug 1863)
,
As of the 24th, 128 bodies have been buried at Lawrence,
Kansas; others are missing and are probably in the ruins.
(Nashville Dispatch,. 26 Aug 1863.)
At. Lawrence, Kansas, 183 bodies have been buried and there
are 182 b~ildings burned.

Naturalizatiion' Records'
N'aturali zatiim records'may be a good source" of genealogical" data'~, Usual1y:
these p'apers were treasured family documents, and often were kept in the pages:
of the family Bible or with old family letters.
Because the first Naturalization )rct passed by Congress on 26 March 1790
provi ded that an ali en who desi red to become a ci tizen should apply- to 't-anycommon law court of record" i:n anyone of the states where he shan have resided'
fo'r the term of one year at least"', he may have been naturalized in the Federal,
State or Local Courts'.
On 29 Jan 1795', Congress passed a new N'aturali zation Act requiring a res-·
idence period of five years and renunciation of allegiances and titles of nobility
as pre",requisi te to citizenship., This was amended on 18; June H798 to require' :r:esidence of fourteen years, and declaration of iintention for five years'., However
this was repealed in 1802 when the Naturalization Law of 1795 was re-inacted~
Prior to the present Naturali zation Law (1952)', an applicant had to wait a11:
least two years after filing a Declaration of Intention to become a citizen before he could file a Petition for Naturalization. This is no longer necess~ry.
Records of naturali zation proceedings in the Federal Courts are usuarIy;:
found in records of the Dfstrict Court in which the proceedings took prace.
Records prior to 27 Sept 1906, may stillil be in custody of the court-, they may' have:
been transferred'to the' National!, ArChives:, or they may have been transferred' to
the Federal Records' Center operated by the GSA. Sfnce 1906:, dupTicates' of the
records are deposited with the Commissioner of Immigration and Naturalization,
Washington, D~ C~
I'n the late 1930"s', the WPJt began to make photographic copies' of the records
and to index them. Copies and indexes filed by the courts in Maine, Massachusetts',
New Hampshire and Rhode lsland 1787-1906, and for the District of Columbia' 1802;...
1.926" are now, in the Nationa11 Archives.
Information on the records fnclude the place and date of birth of the alien,
the country' from which he emigrated, name of the vessel, date and port of arrfvall,
in the U. S., the name under which he traveled and more. An alien was permitted'
to change his name at the time of his' apprication fo'r citizenship', which decree
would be shown on the Naturali zation Certificate when issued.
Advice from the Federal Records Center is that the federal law which prevented copying of a Naturali zation Certificate has been repealed~ and that an
naturali zation records are public records;.
Not like the brazen gi ant of G'reek fame',
Wi th conquering limbs astride from land to lland;'
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates' shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch" whose flame
is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of EXiles:. From her beacon-hand'
Grows world-wide welcome!;: her mi1l!d eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!"' cries' she
Wi th silent lips;. fiG! ve me your ti red~ your poor",
Your huddled masses' yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore:.
Send these, the homeless:, tempest-tost to me',
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!'"
--Etnma Lazarus', "'The New Co les sus'" 1883. She was born hI New York
of Jewish parentage and' was deeply concerned wi th the plight of the Jews' d'ri ven"
from Russia to the United States.

The Last News From the Lecompton Constitution Committee
The Kansas City Star, Wednesday, 30 January 1894
"In the collection of the Kansas State Historical Society is now found
an old candle box with this inscription: The last news from the Lecompton
Constitution Committee.
This box was found buried under a woodpile adjoining the SurveyorGeneral (Calhoun's) land office at Lecompton, February 2, 1858. It contained
the returns of the election of December 21, 1857, for the Lecompton Constitution; also the results of the election of January 4, 1858, under said constitution, as sworn to by General Samuel Walker (Sheriff of Douglas County), by
Governor Denver, G.W. Dietzler (Speaker of the House of Representatives), and
C.W. Babcock, President of the Council of the Territorial Legislature of
Kansas.
This discovery is but one of the many important objects gained through
the exertions of the "Board of Commissioners for the Investigation of Election
Frauds." The board consists of Messers H.J. Adams, J.R. Abbott, Thomas Ewing,
jr., D. Pickering and H.T. Green.
Information has been received that the returns were under a woodpile,
instead of having been sent to John Calhoun by a messenger from Platte county,
Missouri as testified to under oath, on the 29th of January by General L.A.
Maclean, Chief Clerk of the Surveyor-Genera1's office. The board applied to
I. Miller, Judge of the Probate, who instructed Sheriff Walker to obtain the
people's assistance and search for said returns.
Having obtained the assistance of George Roberts, Lewis H. Tappan, Levi
Ga1ts, A. Gunther, L. Hanscourt, J.R. White, D.B. Hones, R. Hutchins, I.
Shepherd, S. Jerrold, H.J. King, J.F. Walker, J.B. Haines and C.H. Webster,
they proceeded -from Lawrence to Lecompton where they arrived at 12 o'clock
midnight, and procured this box and contents as above stated.
This added infamy to the Lecompton convention and affixed to its president the name of "Candle Box Calhoun". When the people voted on the constitution in August 1858, there were 1,788 for and 11,300 against it."

From Lawrence Daily Journal-World, Thurs., Oct. 10, 1929
Mrs. Jane BAKER to Douglas County in '54
In a request for names of persons who came to Kansas in 1860 and before and
are still living in the county the Journal-World received the following interesting letter from Mrs. Jane BAKER who lives on Route 1, Overbrook, Kansas:
"Seeing the ad in the Journal-World wanting the names of the old settlers I
will send in mine. I came with my parents to the south line of Douglas County
in 1854. I am still living three miles from where father took up his claim.
"Hy husband, John BAKER, came here in 1858. We were married in 1872 and have
lived here on this place ever since.
"We have raised six boys and all are married except one and he is with us yet.
"My husband is 85 years old and I will be 81 in November. If we both live
until the 29th of October, we will be married fifty-five years.
"I ~ doing my own washing and all my own house work and boarding the Brubaker school teacher.
"We. live twenty-two miles from Lawrence. I want to come to the anniversary
i f I can and I hope that it will be good weather."
--Jane Wiggins, Lawrence, KS.

President's Message
: I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those officers,
committees, and members who have worked diligently to make last year a
suc~ess. Special thanks should go to retiring officers Pauline Elniff libtarian, Mary Jamison - editor of the Pioneer, an&amp; Judy Sweets - secretary and researcher. Many thanks for your many hours of hard work for
thei Society.
'
I
i This is a new year with many tasks unfinished. Grace Embers, editor
of the Pioneer welcomes material'for possible publication in the Pioneer.
If you have material on Douglas County history, your family in Douglas
Cou~ty, diaries, Bible records, school records, etc., please get them to
Gra~e. We especially invite our out of state members to contribute in
this way for the mutual benefit of everyone.
I

I Grace also needs typists, copiers and indexers., "I don't know how"
is bot a good enough excuse, as none of us knew how until we did it.

! Jean Snedeger, and her committee have been worki~g :on reprinting several
Lawrence City Directories so they will be available for purchase by anyone
needing them. They have begun updating the county cemetery records for
publication in the near future. Please call her if you can help.
I

,

\

i The

general opinion is we have had' helpful, interesting and instructive
speakers at our monthly meetings. Thanks to aTl who,took the time and effort
to come to our meetings and instruct us in their specialities. If you have
a special topic for a future program, let us know. :
I

,

Sincerely,

*********
: The Preemption Act was passed in 1841 by the U. S;. Congress in response
totpe demands of the Western states that squatters b:e allowed to preempt
lands. Pioneers often settled on public lands before they could be surveyed
and kuctioned by the government. At first these claitns were not recognized,
but ;in the 1830's temporary preemption laws were passed by Congress. Opposition: to preemption came from Eastern states where it was seen as a threat to
their labor supply. A permanent preemption act was passed only after the
East¢rn states had been placated by the principle of distribution (i. e., the
proceeds of the government land sales would be distributed among the states
according to population). Distribution was discarded in 1842, but the preemption principle survived. The act of 1841 permitted settlers to locate a
clai* of 160 acres and after about fourteen months of residence to purchase
it f1jom the government before public sale for as low as $1.25 an acre. After
the passage (1862) of the HOMESTEAD ACT, the value of ,preemption for bona
fide !settlers declined, and the practice more and more became a tool for
spec~lators.
Congress repealed the Preemption Act in;189l.

NEW ACQUISITION
The library of the Douglas County Genealogical Society
has acquired 45 issues of the

C~nn~cticut

Nutmegger, the quarterly

journal of the Connecticut Society 6f Genealogists.

The rapidly

growing Connecticut organization was founded in 1968 and alrea9y
has more than 5,000 members.

These are from every state in the

Union and from many foreign countries; the journal thus becomes
more than a regional publication.
In the Connecticut Nutmegger can be found:
A continuing series: Connecticut Births Before 1730.
A continuing series: Connecticut Marriages Before 1750 •.
A continuing series: Connecticut

,

Headsto~es

Before 1800.

An "Ancestry Service" listing alphabetically the lines
ftom charts of members.
Book· Reviews
Bible Records
Articles of general interest to genealogists.

~issue,

Genealogical Queries.

These are well-indexed, are not

l~ited to Connecticut families but are preponderantly New England,
Ne~ York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio, and are notable for their

spe:cificity.

They perhaps represent the largest body of queries,

except for the Genealogical Helper, in any

ge~ealogical

publication.

The submitter of each query is identified by his special
Nutmegger number. A list of these members and their addresses is updated
every two months.

Anyone wishing to correspond with an individual regarding

a query can contacF Dr. Thomas Go-r-to;~-;~i ~-8&amp;543_3 'fQr_th~_c_ur.r_ent_addr.ess_Qfl

THE SWEDISH CEMETERY
The Swedish Cemetery (also known as the Johnson Cemetery) is located
on'a wooded hillside about one mile north of Lone Star, Kansas, on land
(called the Adams Campus) now owned by the Kansas University Endowment
Association. It is a small cemetery consisting of about sixteen graves
enclosed bya rock fence. According to information compiled, by Ada Lindell
for Will Hastie's Record of Cemeteries of Douglas County, Kansas, the land
for the cemetery was donated by Mr. Lars JOHNSON who came to America from
Sweden in 1855.
"The first one to be buried in this cemetery was Mr. BERGMAN, who was
born in Sweden, and died some time ,between the years 1855-1860. We have
no record of who he was, except that he was a bachelor, a farmer and stone,
mason."
She further states that "the next were two men, father and son.
J.S. EKMAN, born in Sweden May 31, 1816, died 1855; his son, Carl EKMAN,
born in Sweden, was killed in 1863 during Quantre11's raid. These two
stones are of sandstone and, the 1ettering'and dates are almost gone."
The following graves are located on the east side of the cemetery in
Row 1:
Sidney F. HELLSTROM, 1871-1910
Elva HELLSTROM, 1875-1904
Otto HELLSTROM, 1884-1897
Row 2:
Oscar HELLSTROM, 1842-1910, born in Sweden*
Frans M. HELLSTROM, 1816-1884, born in Sweden*
Clara G. HELLSTROM, 1820-1894, born in Sweden*
Row '3:
Carl E. BJORKLUND, Nov. 7, 1824-Dec. 24, 1895, born inSweden*
Helena C. BJORKLUND - Wife, July 19, 1815-0ct. 3, 1893, born in Sweden*
Johanna E. JOHNSON, 1810-1885, born in Sweden*
Lars JOHNSON, 1811-1885, born in Sweden*
Row 4:
G.L. JOHNSON, 1849-1901
2 more stones which are unreadable
G.L. JOHNSON was not listed in Hastie's book, but two others were for
whom there were no stones:
Gustave HELLSTROM, born in Sweden 1846, died 1905
Charles John AHLSTROM, born in Sweden 1816, died 1912
On the ,hillside northwest of this cemetery and across the stream lies
the remains of the stone house and corncrib of the Hellstrom family
£irthp1ace information was given by Ada Lindell in Will Hastie's Record
of Cemeteries of Douglas County, 'Kansas.

16 Cabins erected and a Steam Sawmill commenced.
Copied by Jean Snedeger

*******
From the Lawrence Republican Weekly, Thursday, July 9, 1857, pg. 3:
TO THE PEOPLE OF LAWRENCE
-- In taking the Census of Lawrence, many persons were absent, and it
has been impossible in many cases to get an accurate list; It was also
impossible to see a great many and give them an opportunity to sign the
petition for the FREE-STATE CONSTITUTION.
The Census returns and petition will be kept at my office until the
10th inst. I hope all persons omitted on Census returns, or who wish to
sign the Free-State petition will call and do so immediately. One sheet
of Census returns has been lost, it is hoped the finder will return the
same to my office.----- - - July 9, 1857

Anson J. Stone called and sworn.
To Mr. Sherman:
, I reside in BostOD, Massa~huset"ts. I am' assistant treasoll'er of the
Emigrant Aid Society. A. record is kept by that society of the names of those
. emigrants who are sent out under itsauapices. The party ,of emigrants under
Dr. '&amp;binson, who went out irithe 'spring of 1855, J.e:tt Boston Marcl'?- 13~ 1855.
I hlive a list of thOse who composed that party, copied from the original.
register in the office of the compaD.1 by II\Yself. The list is contained in
SJ m$orandum book, and is. attached to this deposition. The book also contains
the names of those who werit· out in company with John T. Farwell, leaving. Boston March 20, 185S.
'The number of persons who have been sent out by the Emigrant Aid Society
I shpuld judge to be somewhere in the neighborhood of 1,300; but I cannot state,
with9ut looking over the books, what 'proportion were wanen and ch1ldren, but .
there were 11l8JV' going out in families.
.
;When Robinson' s party le:tt we had no information at all of the da;r of
election. I do not th:l.nk arry party went out at all in reference to the dq
. of election.
:The emigrant aid society never. paid the expenaes of any' emigrant. I am.
certain of th1s', because I have carefu.l.4r examined aU. the books and papers
of the society. They' have expended no money forfireams. o.r ammunition.
They',have been m1'6me~ careful in regard to that matter,8nef '~ided it in a:rq
W83'. : The money of the society has been eXpended in SSWI and gr:1s't'm1lls, the
hote~ in Lawrence, and in other buildings; and in no case has money been expended with any reference to the political opiDion of settlers; but all could
enjoy the facilities of the investments of the society. 1he company did not
issue, tickets of their own, but purchased tickets of the various lines ot
transportation, and sold them~o the emigrants' for' cost. };. conductor wa¢:,~sent
along,1d.th each party, but the comp8l\Y in no case paid his 'f&amp;fe-:-; ~1?utJle"was~':-:'
~~~~lJith(:a'~.t~e ticket by the various lines of travel.. The transportation companions made the same deduction on the tickets they sold to us at a
~duced rate~ as they did to all other companies, picnic part1es~ conventions, &amp;:c'.
This is the mode in. which. business has been ordinari~ done between the
comp8D1' and the emigrants. 'WheJ} -an8migrant cOmes into the office and asks.
about Kansas, for 1nfo:rmation,:&amp;:c.~ we give him. a pamphlet containing all
the 1Il:fomation we have been able to gather. It did not contain any special.

T~e Parties of Emigrants 'Who Cane to Lawrence-CoDtinued
to persuade persons to emigrate, but to avoid the trouble of answe~ all '
the' questions persons would probab~ ask us, by, g1.ving 'them the information
that desire in a convenient torm. We never Urge them to go. Some, after
reading our books,wuld conclude to go,.bile others would not. We could
not ,tell how many did not go, but there were ~ who got these' P8ll'lplalets,
did not go. As soon as enough concluded to go, to form a party, a conductOr
was 'sent along with the party. Their baggage was marked to facilitate and
sec~ its transportation. The connexion 'between the company and the' emigrant ceased when the ticloot was sold; 8nd there was no understanding, agreement, or promise on either side., No man ever went Ullder the auspices of
this; society, for the mere purpose of voting and then retum1.ng, so far.

HISTORY OF CENl'RAL UNITED METHODIST CHURCH
1501 Massachusetts" Lawrence, Kansas
The roots of Central United Methodist Church reach back to 1854 when
the first United Brethren Church was organized in Lawrence. A man by the
name of S. S. Snyder came to Lawrence in October, 1854. He was sent as a
missionary and staked out a claim near the edge of Lawrence connnunity, mich
was. on~ about 600 persons.
, During a period of years up to 1914, there were four different locations,
most,· of them North of the Kansas River.
In 1914 a new brick building was erected at the corner of 11th andVermont. It was known as "The S. S. Snyder Memorial" and was used until
1939 when the church was destroyed by fire. Efforts to raise money, keep the
congregation together and build a new building were made but all efforts failed,
and'in 1946 the United Brethren merged with the E:vangelical Church. This
church was located at 1000 connecticut.
- This history dates back to the year 1909. The Evangelical Annual Conference met in Jewell, Kansas. At this Conference a mission was l~cated in
Law~nce and Rev. E. J. Fietz was appointed pastor. The church was named Zion
E;vangelical. There was a group of 26 members but they had no church to go to
fori worship.
: Quarter~ Conference met in J\U1e~ 1909. There was a report that the
Swedish Lutheran Church at 1000 Connecticut was for sale. This church was.
purchased for $1,100.00. The building was in bad shape and needed much repair
and remodeling. When the next Annual Conference met, they asked for financial
help. The church was raised and re-sided with most of the labor being done by
the men of the church. The new church was dedicated on September 3, 1911 with
Einil Wendland as pastor.
i The Ladies Aid was organized in 1913 and met each week for work.
They
also served many meals for 19~ and 25¢ a meal to help with the expenses of the
church.
It was decided in 1911 to improve the building again. So the basement
was enlarged, a furnace was installed, and plans were made to purchase a parsonage. The house at 1009 Connecticut across the street from the church was
purChased for $3,500.0Q~?
. In 1919 a Woman IS Nissionary SOCiety was organized. Money for missions
was ~ollected and sent to the missionaries. Nany da¥s were spent in sewing
and large packages of clothing for infants and children and other needs of the
missionaries, were sent.
, The church was partially destroyed by fire in 1920.
,During the years the congregation had been grovling until in 1944, they
felt, the need of more room and wished for a new church. The trustees were
give~ the power to start a building fund.
Their first effort brought in $2,200.00.
I beUeve Rev. George Landes' was the pastor at the time.
i In 1945 Leland and Elaiile Yourig were sent to the Lawrence Church. They
were'a young and enthUSiastic couple who put forth every effort toward organizing and planning for the'new church.
;At Quarter~ Conference in 1945 it was voted to have the District Superintehdent, E. E. Erffmeyer, to present the building project to Annual Corif'erence~ In May of 1945 $10,000.00 was allowed. Then there was an appeal to the
General Board of Missions for an additional $10,000.00. In 1941 the Confer..
._ ence IYouth Fellowship made the Lawrence Church a miSSionary project with a
goal :of $5,000.00. The church was still a mission at that time. During this
I

i,

�tinie the United Brethren and Evangelical Churches merged. The merger took
pl ace in 1 946,.
Property was purchased at 15th and Massachusetts in November of 1945.
This site was chosen because the lots were available. It was not far from
the old location and was conveniently located in the town.
: In 1946 Norman Goode was employed as architect and in iU.947 Ray Angeny
was hired as contractor. During August, 1947 ground was broken for the new
building and by October the corner stone was laid. Mooris Cleveland made a
metal container to place the articles in and Lawrence 110nument Company Jfa.~
nished the corner stone. Items -in the corner stone are: a church hymnal, a
ChUrch Discipline, a copy of blueprints for the new building, a list of churdl
members, a list of building committee members, a few pieces of money, a copy
of :Journal World newspaper, and a new copy of the HolY Bible.
: The note burning service was held October 6, 1957 with District Superintendent Henry H. Vogel present. Leland H. Young continued to be the pastor
until May, 1958.
Work progressed rapidly and the church kept grov1ing spiritually as well
as in membership. The Sunday out family put our letters in the church, 23
persons were taken into church membership. Work continued on the new building. R. O. Burgert spent most of his waking hours at the site to see that
the project was carried out 'as it should be. lvIr. Burgert was Chairman of
the; Building Committee. Leland Young put on his unionalls and spent many,
many hours supervising and suggesting with much interest and concern for the
best possible results. These men's ver,y lives and souls became entwined in
the bricks and rafters of the building. Many others helped in various ways.
During the weel~ 0'£ September 15-19, 1948, the church was dedicated with
services each night and Sunday, both morning and afternoon, with a basket
dinner at the noon hour. The dedication service was held Sunday afternoon
wit~ presentation of memorials and gifts, as well as the building fund offering. BishopC. H. Stauffacher was present to give the dedication s~on.
: Another parsonage \\las purchased in 1954 at 1530 Kentucky.
: The church and Sunday School membership continued to grow until the
class rooms were bursting at the seams. In 1957 a house and lot at 1507 was,
bought for an annex to be used for class rooms. During this time the members
of t,he church built a nice cabin in Forest Park to be used by the youth of
the church.
The house being used for an annex became unsafe and parking space was ii,
need~d, so the house was razed and the house across 15th Street was bought
for another annex. There was much more room for the children's classes and
BibJ1 School. This did well for several years until it was condemned as unsafe
and later was sold •
•,The house directly back of the church was bought for a parsonage and
later the house and lot south of the parsonage was purchased. The house was
moved to make more spaces for parking. This connected Vermont Street with the
parlq.ng lot.
,After the annex north of the church was not used, the children's classes
were !brought back to the church. It seemed now was the ti."I1le to be'gin planning
for an educational wing for the" church. During the 60's there were many triaL
runs ,to get the project of building started. In 1972 the program of an addition was begun in earnest.
When the Kvangelical United Brethren denomination and the Methodist denomination merged, we needed a name to distinguigh our identity in the tOivn and
-Conference. After a fellowship dinner one evening in the church the name
Central was decided upon as being the most suitable.

, Ground breaking for the new wing was one Sunday after the,'moe!ling wor- ,
shfp on November 12, 1972. Ernest Moore was pastor during this period of :,:
building. The new educational wing was completed and consecrated on Palm
Sund38", April 7, 1974. The architect was Will,Owens. The building committee
was: Chairman, Stan Zaremba'; Secretary, B6b Schrock; Treasurer, Earlin Burgert. Others on the committee were Ken Jorgensen, director of construction,
0. H. Garber, John Kliewer, James Hiller, Frank Pippert, and Bob Street.
OrVille Carey was Chairman of the TrUstee Board. The building was constructed
at ',a cost of $150,000.00.' The Consecration Celebration was attended by Bishop
Dixon, who gave the Consecration sermon,and a delicious luncheon which had been
arranged and cooked by Lorraine Schrock and Lois Zaremba, and an open house
followed.
Later in the 70's the church underwent another rejuvenation. The room
which had originally been the Chapel was made into a church parlor and named
the Ingle Parlor. When the men's Bible -Class was no longer in existence, the
rooin was made into a library and resource room. The old fellol-lship hall was
remodeled and made into a youth Center. The old kitchen was enclosed and
shelves were added to make storage room for tools and other equipment. A nice
nursery room was made from some small classrooms.
: --This history was prepared by Mrs. ott (Florence) Garber in 1979 and
updated in 1981. Much of the information has been co1iected from various
histories that were written in years past.

Name Changing Probably Started in the Days of Ancient Rome
One of my sons, flipping through a new paperback called, liThe Book of
People,1I wanted to know, why so many performers and other people in the
'public eye had changed their names, and how long this had been going on.
Forever, I told him.
It began, as so many other things did, among the ancient Romans .Those
men who were called to the equestrian order, and had low or llvulgarll names,
,were newly named for the occasion, so that the former name would not disgrace
:the dignity of the new position.
,
:
According to Platina, the first pope who changed his name in ascending
to the papal throne was Sergius II in 844, because his proper name was "Hog's
mouth"--quite unsuitable to the pomp of the tiara.
Europeans began changing their names in the Middle Ages, when surnames
,first came into vogue, because so many of the cognomens they bore were derogatory: liThe Bald, II liThe Lame;" liThe Short", liThe One-Eyed", and so forth.
Then,as society ranked itself, from serfs up to the nobility, the families who were able to raise themselves 'an economic niche or two often added
IIDe" or a IIVon" before their names, even when they were not entitled to.
,
Beethoven, in fact, was taken to a plebeian court when it was discovered
that, despite the "vanll in his ,name, he was not of noble birth. His grandfather, a Flemish vintner, had simply appropriated the aristocratic prefix.
for himself. And he was only one of many, in most E,uropean countries where
patents of nobility prevailed.
(In court, it is said, when Beethoven was questioned, he pointed to his
head and heart, exclaiming, IIHy patent nobility is here and here 111)
, In the New' World, immigrants changed their name s to blend wi th the
ethnic majority~' Paul Revere's father, indeed, had changed his name from
IIR1voire,'" upon arriving here from France. Much earlier, the great explorer
Qiovanni Caboto, changed his name in middle 'age to John Cabot, when he moved
from Venice to London and discovered Newfoundland for the British.
,
It has been going on ever since--not merely among performers, but in
public life as well: at least four U. S. Presidents so disliked their first
~ames" that they abandoned them' for professional careers:
Hiram Ulysses
Grant, steven Grover Cleveland, Thomas Woodrol'll' Wilson, and John Calvin
Collidge.
, , ' , ' That probably began when CaiuaJuliua Caesar dropped his first name,
too--no doubt ~oWiiig that his family name would live'Jon in KING, CZAR,
and KAISER. There is far more in',.a: name than wide-eyed little Juliet
ever reailized.
