Kuhn

My great great uncle, Henry Kuhn, and his wife Catherine Herr Kuhn arrived in Atchison in the summer of 1854. Or more correctly, the arrived where Atchison was to be! Henry Kuhn was then 24 years old, the son of Emanuel and Mary Sites Kuhn of Chambersburg, PA. Emanuel Kuhn was the county surveyor of Franklin County, PA for some years and taught the skill to his son, Henry.
Henry Kuhn was engaged to survey and lay out the plat for Atchison which he completed during the summer months of 1854. Lots were sold in September and, voila!, a new city was born!
Henry Kuhn, having taught school for two or three years in Marion, Franklin County, PA, was then engaged as Superintendent of Schools for Atchison.
Following the Civil War, two of his sisters and their husbands plus his parents moved to Kansas and settled in north Marion County in the College Hill District. One sister,Martha Kuhn Rhodes, was my great grandmother.
Henry Kuhn and family moved to Anadarko, Indian Territory in the early 1880's where he was Indian Agent. Around 1890 they moved to Marion, KS where he and a son-in-law ran a newspaper. He returned to Atchison briefly around 1899 for the last gasp of the Atchison "Champion?". He died in Topeka in 1900 and is buried in the little cemetery at College Hill given by my great-grandfather, John Metz Rhodes, to the College Hill Presbyterian Church, then located on the Marion-Dickinson County line 1 mile east of Kansas Highway 15. His wife, Catherine Herr Kuhn, died in 1903 and is buried beside him.
