I am looking for any information on my father and mother and their parents.
My father was C. Wayne Phelps or Charles Wayne Phelps. He was born in 1910 in
Crawford, KS and later became judge of the city court in the late 1930's. I
would like to know more about his career there. My mother was Patricia Phelps
born Patricia Palmer. Her family was from Joplin, MO but her grandparents lived
in Pittsburg and she spent much of her time there, eventually marrying my father
there. They left Pittsburg during WWII because my father was doing war work and
never returned there to live.
My grandmother, Orlena Casad then Orlena Palmer, was a school teacher before her
marriage and I would like to learn more about that period in her life. I have
one, very damaged photograph of her in her classroom with her students and I'd
love to find more.
Orlena's father was Orla Casad. He was also a judge and seems to have had a
distinguished career in the city. Any informaton anyone has about him, or
photographs, would be greatly appreciated. His wife was Allie Babcock or Allie
Casad. I'm looking for information about her too.
One of the Casad daughters stayed in Pittsburg until her death in the 1970's,
her name was Ethel Larkin but she was commonly called Kicki (sp?). Again, any
information would be most appreciated.

Date: Saturday, May 15, 2004 06:29 PM
Seeking information on William H. COLLINS who was the second husband of my
great-great-grandmother, Pamelia Margaret TAYLOR WALKER. They married in
Crawford Co. on 28 July 1876. The Marriage License identifies the groom as
"William H. Collins of Baker Township aged 43 years"; and the bride is
identified as "Permelia Walker of Baker Township aged 42 years". William died in
Crawford Co. (prob. in Cherokee) before 24 Oct 1876, when the probate of his
estate commenced.
Apparently, William was married prior to the marriage to Pamelia, as his probate
papers include payment requests for medical care provided for 2-3 children. One
probate document mentions seven (7) heirs; but the only name given in any of the
documents is James E. COLLINS (a minor), who became the ward of Pamelia's son,
Martin Franklin WALKER.
Crawford Co. Quit Claim Deed Records (Vol. G, p. 373) contains a deed for
"Undivided Half (being dower) W. H. Collins Estate NE 1/2 22-30 25". Grantors
were Panlina [sic] BUNCH & W. T. [sic] BUNCH, and Grantee was W. A. Black.
(NOTE: Pamelia married William Penn BUNCH on 31 Oct 1878, place unknown. They
lived and died in Wellsville, KS.)
No surviving family members knew of the marriage between William COLLINS and
Pamelia until I found the probate papers and marriage record. If possible, we
would like to locate descendants of William and his first wife, and learn more
about the COLLINS family.

thus far about Anna/Sarah Ann (KOCH) LAKE.
1893Mar24. Ms. Vista LAKE, reportedly born in MO on 24 March 1893, is said to
have been the daughter of Mr. Albert Ross LAKE (b: abt. 1867 in MO) and Sarah
Ann KOCH (b: abt. 1871 in Missouri). Ms. Vista LAKE is said to have married Mr.
Ralph Franklin KENNETT (b. 19 Sep 1891 in Pittsburg, Crawford Co., KS). Their
wedding reportedly took place on 31 May 1910 in Girard, Crawford Co., KS. Their
children were:
1. Glenn Gilbert KENNETT b: 15 Aug 1911 in Pittsburg, Crawford Co., KS.
2. Walter Ross KENNETT b: 6 Aug 1914 in Pittsburg, Crawford Co., KS.
3. Joe Dale KENNETT b: 8 Sep 1917 in Pittsburg, Crawford Co., KS.
4. Melvin Albert Roy KENNETT b: 28 Jul 1926 in Pittsburg, Crawford Co., KS.
1930Apr11. Ohio-born widow Anna Lake (73, b. circa 1857) was residing with her
Missouri-born, never-married son Roy Lake (43) in Baker Township, Crawford
County, Kansas at the time of the 1930 U.S. Census (April 11, 1930, page 208,
residence 755, family 767). Baker Township (37 degrees 24' 24" North; 094
degrees 40' 27" West) is located at the southeastern edge of Pittsburg, Crawford
Co., KS. Anna's father was reportedly born in Pennsylvania; her mother, in Ohio.
Roy's father, in Illinois; his mother (in accord with her report), Ohio.
According to the record, Anna had been 18 years old when she first married. This
record implies that Anna was born circa 1857 and was married circa 1875.

described below in an 1860 census is the Anna/Sarah Ann (KOCH) LAKE who was

1860Jul25. The 1860 census of Union Township, Scioto County, OH, taken on July
25, 1860, listed the "KOKE" [Koch] household (Dwelling 957, Family 957). The six
persons living in the household were: James Koke, Ohio-born white male, 29
years, farmer, real estate valued at $500 and personal estate valued at $200.
Living with him were Pheba Koke, Ohio-born white female, 36 years; Jesse Koke
