I am looking for some back dated newspapers, about 1954-55
my dad was severely burned in an accident, he was a lineman for REA. I am thinking this may have been near Mankato, but not sure.
name was Melvin Arnold Warner at the time he had 2 children, he did not die, but probably close. the one thing I do remember was a terrible train crash happened in or near that time. many people were killed or injured. I was about 7-8 then, so my memory is not quite clear on the wreck, If anyone could find those articles I sure would appreciate the articles. Because I never saw anything about my dad. thanks for any info on that.
another one is my grandad was also severly burned in about that time frame, this was near Lebanon, Kansas. kerosene refrigerator exploded in his face, his name was George Philemon Warner. also if this helps a mr. Christman also was severly burned about a month later, they didn't live far from each other.
any information on these two I would greatly appreciate it. mary_grether@yahoo.com

My gg grandfather, Thomas McBRIDE, and his brother, Alexander McBRIDE, and perhaps their sister, Rebecca Jane (McBRIDE) WEST (spouse Eleazar WEST) settled in the Reubens/Mankataepublican River Range area of Kansas , supposedly very near the Republican River? They had a homestead started around 1870. I'm trying to research as much about them as possible. I believe Ruebens no longer exist (under water reservoir). Looking for grave site of Rebecca, Eleazar, and Alexander.

I don't see any mention of one of the early homesteaders in Jewell County Kansas, The family of John Simar relocated to Kansas, from Iowa, in 1871 or 1872, taking a homestead on ash creek, in Jewell Co.
My Grandfather was born on that homestead in 1873. I've visited that area many times, and always enjoy looking around and trying to imagine how it must have looked in the late 1800's
