CARVER
shaswell@students.wisc.edu Susan Haswell Sat Apr 26 16:42:45 1997I am researching a landscape history of the George Washington CARVER National Monument, near Diamond, Missouri. I am looking for information on Richard S. CARVER (c. 1804-1873), the brother of Moses CARVER. Moses owned the farm where George Washington CARVER was born. Richard supposedly arrived in Missouri c. 1838, but moved a few years later to a farm on Starr Prairie, one mile east of Baxter Springs, Garden Township, Cherokee County, Kansas. Whether or not Richard and his family stayed on during the Civil War, I don't know. In 1866, when the U.S. first offered for sale tracts in the Cherokee Neutral Lands, Richard CARVER supposedly bought 320 acres on Shoal Creek, about 3 miles south of Galena. Is any trace of this farm or its original buildings left? Richard died in March 1873 and was buried in the Carver family cemetery on his brother Moses' farm (now the G.W. Carver National Monument). Richard's son, John, is buried at the Gandy Cemetery in Garden Twp. Other CARVERs are buried at Lowell Cemetery, Cherokee Co. Are there any CARVERs left in Cherokee County? Any information on the CARVERs, their descendants, and their holdings in Cherokee Co. would be appreciated! Thank you.

WYRICK in Baxter Springs, KS
I am seeking any information on John WYRICK and wife "Mary".
The only information I have on John and "Mary is that they were both "alive
in 1911".
John's wife "Mary" was a fullblood Osage Indian, they were the parents of at
least five children, two of which were:
John H. WYRICK (Osage Allotment card #-2079) b. 01 Jul 1897, Baxter Springs,
Cherokee Co.,Kansas, this child was enrolled at the Carlisle School on 20 Nov
1911 at the age of 14. He had 42 months of schooling at the Osage Boarding
School at Chilocco, Kay County, OK. He "departed" the school on 03 Oct 1912
and re-enrolled on 26 Sept 1914 and finally he took leave a final time on 01
May 1915.
Elnora J. WYRICK (Osage Allotment card #-2080) b. 03 Dec 1902, Baxter
Springs, Cherokee Co.,Kansas, this child was enrolled at the Carlisle School
on 26 Sep 1914 at the age of 12. She had two-brothers, one of which was John
above, and another un-named brother who was deceased by the time of her
enrollment at Carlisle (26 Sept 1914), and a sister, who was alive at this
time(also un-named). She was at the St. Mary's School 1911-14 (5th grade).
She was described as 5' in height and 120lbs. She left the school on 01 May
1915. By 1916, she was in the Mount Alto, Pennsylvania, Sanitarium suffering
from tuberculosis.
Any information on this family would be most appreciated. Thank you.

HALL: Am seeking info. re. John C. HALL.
On the 1870 census for Baxter Springs, Cherokee Co. KS are
listed three John's C. HALL. They are 25, 26 and 27 years
of age. All are from MO, all are farmers, and two of them
are worth $5,000.00!
On pg. 158 John is living in the same household as Frank DUNAN
a billiard saloon keeper from NY. On pg. 163 John is living in
a hotel. On pg. 169 John is listed in the same household as
William A. NEWILL a blacksmith from MO.
How can this be?? Was John C. HALL such a common name in Baxter
Springs that there could be three of them all from MO, all
about the same age, all farmers, all worth $5000.00 and all
living in Cherokee?
My gfather's name was John C. HALL. He went on a cattle drive
from TX to MT in the 1880's. Some of the men he was with on
the trail drive;
Smokey HARVEY, Sam BENSON, Bud ALLISON, Jake WILLIAMSON,
Sterling CROSS, Charlie DAVLIN, Bill HUMBLE, Jerry BUCKLEY, John
LEE, Cal STEWART, Sam BASS and Fred GARDNER.
Has anyone heard of these names??
I read a little about Baxter Springs being "a rendezvous for the
notorious Texas cowboy, gambler, prostitue, saloon keeper, and
multitude of villains and ruffians", but this is ridiculous!
I know very little about gpa before his arrival in MT. He md.
my gmother there in 1898. Supposedly his mother's maiden name
was Mary or Annie KING.
ANY info about these three men all with the same name, would be
most welcomed. Did they marry? have children?? ????
Thanks

I'm writing in the hope that you can set me on a path to finding information
about a pioneer woman by the name of Carrie STEARNS SMITH who settled
somewhere in southeastern Kas., arriving in 1867. I have traced her to at
least 30 miles south of Arcadia. Maybe she went all the way to Baxter
Springs. I don't know.
All I really know about her was that she wrote very well, had a great sense
of humor, and a lot of pluck.
Have you ever heard of her? Who might know something about her? Any ideas
or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much.
