I'm looking for information on my grandparents, Wes McCormick and Mary Petty, who were married in Yates Center, Woodson County KS 2/13/1889. We don't believe Wes was his first name--think it might have been William Wesley, but we're not sure. They had children Charles Alvin, Jess C., Glenn William, and Claude. Wes died prior to 1900--Mary McCormick was listed as head of household in 1900 census. Glenn William was my father, born 12/17/1894 in Yates Center. Mary later remarried a Hollem--first name unknown; they had a child, Carl Hollem-- I would love to learn anything about this family. I do not know any of the names of my great-grandparents, or whether there were any more Hollem children, when Mary died (my father was still young)--anything at all would help. Thanks! Norma Meadows

SOUDERS - looking for the grave of Corydon SOUDERS bca 1869 in IN, son of Thomas Jefferson SOUDERS and Rachel Jane WHETSEL. Corydon was listed as 1 year old in July 1970 census records for IN (although I have reason to suspect this census was actually taken about March and they might have been "en route" to Kansas at that point). TJ and Rachel moved to Woodson Co, KS 1870, near what is now Yates Center and lived there 1+ year before moving on to Twin Groves Twsp in Greenwood County. Family bios state they had 10 children; 1 child that died as an infant, and I know the other 9 lived to be old adults. Have checked the family cemetery in IN in which most of both families of the parents are buried. Have found vevery good stones for everyone else there, so I do not believe the child is buried there or had no stone. Both these families are historically believers in providing very expensive and good stones for all the deceased, regardless of financial conditions. Corydon may have died on the journey to Kansas, or is buried somewhere in Woodson County. TJ and Rachael established their own family plot in Eureka and are buried there with some of their other family members excluding Corydon. Would appreciate any and all help. Jerri Barton

Seeking information regarding William Kelsey listed in 1910 Woodson Co. Census with wife Cinderella and son James. Would have moved to Woodson Co. sometime after 1900. Probably died there in 1911 or Jan. 1912. Would particularly like obituary or burial information. Was in Everett Twp in census. Daughter Lois, son-in-law Fred Morgan and grandson Charles Austin Morgan were in area at this time. Lois Kelsy ( later Morgan ) received a certificate to teach third grade in Woodson Co. in 1907. Based on this I assume Lois Kelsey and Fred Morgan would have been married in Woodson Co. between July 1907 and March 1909 since Charles Austin Morgan was born Oct. 12 1909 in either Yates Center or ( according to one source ) Thayer KS. Any information on the marriage of Fred and Lois and their time in Woodson Co. would also be appreciated. Thank youLee Morgan

I'm looking for an historical verification. My Grandmother, born Anna Westfall Johnson in Saline Co. Kansas, on 1 August 1887, was told that she was born in a construction tent as her parents were there as transients. He father, Ephraim Adelbert Johnson was either a civil engineer or a levee contractor. She was told that they were there building a levee. Two years later they were in Natchez, Mississippi and after that in Little Rock Ark. Since these are river towns with levee systems the latter occupation seems possible. I'm trying to verify levee construction in Saline Co. at the time of Anna's birth. Was there any other type of type of construction that waould have drawn a civil engineer such as bridge cinstruction or railways? My grandmother was proud of her Kansas origin and planted Sunflowers each year to honor her birth place. She was able to visit the state again several years before her death and enjoyed the trip greatly. Milton Wells

I am the director of a small museum in Chambers County, Texas. There were a number of families from Saline County, Kansas who purchased land and located in this county during the first part of this century [early 1900s]. Many of these families returned to Saline County later or else were returned there for burial. I would love to correspond and exchange information with anyone working on some of these lines. Here goes: Mr. & Mrs. C. A. McPHAIL, Mr. A. E. AGRELIUS, the CRAVEN family, the SCHWARZ family, Mr. & Mrs. F. M. HAMILTON, Frederick W. LOTZ, the G. R. FAHRING family (this family stayed and remains here today), the Henry KRAMER family (they also stayed), Albert KRAMER, the MULL family, Anson MILLER, J. C> LLOYD and family, the Sylvester SHAFFER and Elijah SCHOFIELD families, Jesse W. FROST and family, Mr. and Mrs. Frank BELTON, D. O. BELL (served briefly here as the editor of the local newspaper), Mrs. Catherine Matilda (FESSLER) FYFE and the FESSLER family, Levi MORGAN and family, James H. SHORT and family, and William H. BELL and family. Many prominent residents of Saline County purchased rice farms and so forth down here during the early part of the century, but did not move here. This is an extremely interesting connection between these two counties and I would like to learn more about all or any of these families. Kevin Ladd Wallisville Heritage Park, PO Box 16, Wallisville, TX 77597
