"I have a small "booklet" titled "Some Elm Mills History Copied by George Miller from Barber County Historical Files of Library at Medicine Lodge." It outlines several things that happened in the Elm Mills Township; one of which was the Hillman matter. This map was a page in that stapled booklet. Apparently Mr. Miller (of Sawyer, KS) drew this diagram and plotted the happenings on it.There was also a copy of an article from the Pratt Tribune dated 2/4/1969 talking about the history compiled by George Miller of Sawyer. So, I am guessing he did this prior to 1969."
