CEMETERY CHECKER:

Through the obituaries of the above men, you can start to see the historical impact that the Civil war veterans had on the formation of Kansas. We have in our files so far the obituaries of three former governors of Kansas (Samuel J. Crawford, John P. St. John and Lyman U. Humphrey), 1 United States Senator from Kansas (James H. Lane) and 33 former state legislators (James M. Allen-Erie; Robert N. Allen-Chanute; George L. Banks-Independence; Maurice S. Bell-Independence; Alfred W. Benson-Ottawa; Max E. Buek- Burlingame; John F. Buell- St. Marys; Augustus W. Burton-Mound City; Charles J. Butin-Fredonia; John C. Carpenter-Chanute; William H. Clark- Ottawa; Henry W. Conrad- Independence; Grasson DeWitt-Humboldt; John M. Dunsmore-Thayer; Benajamin F. Everett-Toronto; David W. Finney-Neosho Falls; Andrew P. Gibson-Leanna; Daniel Grass- Coffeyville; John Hamilton-Independence; Daniel McTaggart-Liberty; William Miller-Chanute; Orlin E. Morse-Mound City; Thomas B. Murdock-El Dorado; Joseph H. Norris-Cherryvale; John C. Rankin-Quenemo; Thomas J. Raybell-Eureka; Francis M. Robertson- Coyville; Luther Scott-Howard; Benjamin F. Simpson-Paola; Andrew J. Vickers-Girard; William Wakefield-Humboldt; Joseph J. Woods-Parsons; Orpheus S. Woodward-Neosho Falls). I have barely scratched the surface in my research and I am sure that I will find more.
