Tom Wilson, XTAWX@prodigy.net, Sat, 20 Mar 1999
I know practically nothing about my paternal side of the family. My Grandfather was named Thomas Jud (or Judson) Wilson. I've been told he was born in Illinois 4 March 1874, migrated to Kansas where he married Emma Marie Norton(b.13 Jul 1884) in December 1900. They had a son named Harold Jud Wilson, b.11 October 1901 in Burden, KS. In 1903 they migrated to the Oakland, CA area. Other members of the Norton and Wilson families, of which I have no record, also settled in the same area. There was also a "Grandma Leoffler"(sp) involved, but I'm not sure with which side of the family. Think y'all can find something to help me out?

I am looking for parents of Mrs. John C. (Emma Horne) Powers. She
lived in Udall before she moved to Oxford. I am looking for a marriage
license to see what her maiden name was. I am assuming it was HORNE. I
think she was born in Washington, IA in 1876, but moved to Kansas and
lived there until her death. Her death certificate lists parents as
unknown. I am looking for info about any HORNEs in Cowley County.
Mary O'Connell, Mjboon@aol.com, Mon, 22 Mar 1999
I am looking for Walter O'Connell married to Grace ___________. Walter was born in Kansas according to the information I have. Grace was born in Illinois according to the information I have. They had three children: Clifford Leon O'Connell born approximately 1915 in Kansas. Harold O'Connell born in 1921 in Kansas. Harold died in a car accident in 1975 in Arkansas City Kansas. Mildred O'Connell who married a man named Wilbur. They lived in Arkansas City Kansas during the 1970's I know. May still be living there. Walter O'Connell was a welder and I understand he had a welding shop in Arkansas City Kansas. I am trying to determine his exact birthdate, marriage date, and burial place. I would also like to know his parents names and approximate birthdates. I would like to know Grace's maiden name, possibly from marriage records, her exact birthdate, and burial place.

George H. McHaley, geomch@southwind.net, Tue, 23 Mar 1999
I am looking for more information on my ancestors who settled in Cowley Co. around the Dexter area. The mother, Anna ( Jones ) McHaley first came to Kansas and was listed in the 1870 U.S. Fed. census of Johnson county in Shawnee township with sons, John and Daniel. Anna is buried in the Maple City Cemetary between sons John and Henry. They first appeared in Cowley Co. in the 1875 Kansas census Liberty twnsp.
Her husband's name was also Henry but I have been unable to find him in Kansas. He may have died in Illinois before they moved to Kansas. John and Daniel were brothers living together for years according to articles found in the Dexter Dispatch and Tribune in 1911. John died August 27, 1926 at age 86 and is buried in Maple City cemetary. I have been unable to locate Daniel's obituary or final resting place. I have visited Dexter and asked the city clerk about Dexter cemetary records and she knew of none. I requested the same at the courthouse in Winfield and they could find no records of the Dexter cemetary. Could you possibly help with info on Daniel McHaley-he seemed to have been alive when brother John died and would have been about 80 years old. Perhaps if you are unable to locate Dexter cemetary records could you possibly pass this on to Lou Tharp. She has been a great help in the past.Thanks very much for any assistance.

Back in 1885 my great grandfather owned the Arkansas City Brick Yard with Mr. Endicott. It was located about 1 mile south of town near the South Bridge. His name was David Baer. His wife's name was Betty and she died at an early age. They had 1 daughter Maud, and she was sent away to Lindenwood Girls School in St. Charles, Mo. I don't know how long he lived in Arkansas City, because by 1895 he was living in Purcell, OK. and contracting for the Santa Fe R.R. He, I believe,contracted the bricks for
their roundhouses, depots and mainline facilities. I think he supplied the bricks for the old Santa Fe depot in Arkansas City and also one of the schools. Do you have anything in your archives on him? Please let me know. Thank you very much.

Frank Houser, jfhouser@poncacity.net, Tue, 6 Apr 1999
My grandfather Dr. Franklin A. Houser, was an early day county doctor who came to cowley co. about 1880 from Indiana. He was born in Fairfield county Ohio in 1855 and went to school in Indiana. He settled at Atlanta. He received his license from the state of Kansas in 1901, I think that was the first year a license was required. It states that he was required to practice in Kansas for seven years to be eligible to receive it. He later practiced in Arkansas City from about 1917 until he died in 1926.
