Hello!

I have been trying for some years now to find out why and when William Henderson Whittington and his wife Anna O'neal Leak (Brandt) had moved to Harper, Kansas and lived for awhile. Three children (Date, Clay, Maude, Bulah, Edith and William Henry)
were all born in Harper, Kansas. SEE BELOW!!
If anyone could share or find information on
what had drawn William Henderson Whittington and his family to Kansas and what they might of did I would really appreciate it.

Thanks
Keith Whittington
