I am researching Benjamin M. SMITH who married Katherine Frances MENEFEE in Lincoln Co., KS 14 August 1881. Benjamin is listed on US Census for Saline Co. in 1870. He and Katherine lived in Saline Co. (and perhaps at some point Ottawa Co.) until 1900 when they moved to Polk Co., MO just after the 1900 US Census was taken. Their children: George William SMITH b. KS Margaret Janette SMITH b. KS Katherine Mertha SMITH b. KS Ernest Elijah SMITHb. KS Eli Lewis SMITH b. KS Benjamin Bernell SMITH (died in infancy) b. KS Polly Place SMITH b. KS Laura Gertrude SMITH b. KS Clara Nelzina SMITH b. MO It is believed that George got into some trouble (with the law?) at approximately age 17. The family farm was sold (to get George out of trouble?) and the family moved to Missouri. Is there an index to court records--approximately 1900? Obituary for Benjamin (child) who died in Kansas, approximately 1893-94?

Helynn Baldwin -- (email: dalynn@tds.net) - Wed May 14 21:00:50 1997
I am searching for the following ancestors in Lincoln, and Shawnee Counties, Kansas; EMMONS, MCCOWN, BOLES, YEAGER, MCGREAVEY.James M. EMMONS in the June 11, 1880 census for Lincoln Kansas lists James EMMONS born in Indiana. James married Marth Emiline BOLES in Lincoln County on April 4, 1880. My grandfather was Robert Harvey EMMONS, born in Lincoln, Lincoln County, Kansas March 12, 1881, and he was the only child. Martha Emiline's parents were Robert Howard BOLES and Mary MCCOWN, YEAGER (buried under the name MCGREAVEY?) Mary married Robert about 1851 probably in Kentucy. Their children are John Alexander BOLES September 11, 1852 in Iowa, James Harvey BOLES July 1853, born in Iowa, Andrew Jaxon BOLES Octorber 14,1857 in Iowa, Robert Jeremiah BOLES,May 251859 in Iwoa, William Howard BOLES, October 27, 1860 in Topeka, Kansas, and Martha Emiline BOLES November 14, 4862 in Shawnee, Kansas. Robert Howard BOLES was killed allegedly in Ohio during the Civil War. Another account states he died in Lawrence, Kansas in 1863. The man who came to tell Mary MCCOWN that her husband was dead was Jeremiah YEAGER. Family tradition says Mary MCCOWNwas born in Tyrone Ireland, but the 1880 Lincoln Kansas census says she was born in Indiana.) Mary MCCOWN BOLESmarried Jeremiah YEAGER on January 07, 1869 in Lincoln, Kansas. There were five YEAGER children. On April 4, 1880 Martha Emiline BOLES married James M. EMMONS in Lincoln, Lincoln County, Kansas. They took homestead land, and the June 11, 1880 Federal census for Kansas states that James was 25 and Martha 17, that she came from Kansas and he came from Indiana. Near Christmas time in 1880, James EMMONS disappeared. Their son, Robert Harvey EMMONS was born on March 12, 1881. In May of 1881, Martha sold the homestead to her half brother, George YEAGER. Martha's brothers, John Alexander and William Howard BOLES, and their families moved to Evergreen, and Red Deer, Alberta, Canada. They never came back. John Alexander's only son Benjamin BOLES stated in 1957, "They left Kansas as there had been some trouble in there, though he never said what." In April 1882 Martha married James Anderson KURTZ(KURTS)in Lincoln, Kansas. No divorce or death records were ever found by the KURTZ researchers. My Grandfather was Robert Harvey EMMONS, and we have wondered always where his father James EMMONS went. Did he abandon his wife and son before Robert Harvey was born, was he a victem of foul play, and if so who did it? The year 2000 marks a hundred year anniversary of Robert Harvey EMMONSmmons migration to Bowie, Delta County, Colorado. He died in Paonia, Colorado, Delta County in 1951. He married Estella Ella HARDING of Furnas County, Nebraska on January 23, 1904 in Delta County, Colorado. "Harve and Stella" EMMONS had fifteen children, a set of twin boys the 9th and 10th children. This is a very large family, and we would like to know who this James EMMONS was and what happened to him. My snail mail is: Helen Baldwin P.O. Box 1546 Paonia, Colorado 81428 I would be most appreciative of any assistance in solving this old mystery that plagues our family. Thank you for your attention.

I'm trying to find out who the biological father of my grandfather was. His name was Claude SOWERS, however the surname was added when his mother, Mary DEEDS, married William Spangler SOWERS, in 1897. Claude was born Feb 18, 1894, in Lincoln, KS. His father's surname may have been either THOMPSON or STEVENSON... differing family stories give either name as a possiblity. He spent the first three years of his life with his aunt and uncle HEMINGER. Any help greatly appreciated.

Vernon F. Turner (email: VFTurner2@aol.com) - Tues Nov 18 1997
My Grandfather, Alonzo G. TURNER, had to quit school when he was eleven (1896) because his father, Asher H. TURNER, deserted his family. At some point in time after that he attended some sort of Penmanship school. He even had to caligraphy his own diploma. Are there records of this school? What was it's history? How much did it cost to go there? Does anyone know the history of this school? Where was it located? My Grandfather's mother, was Martha BROOKS TURNER, daughter of Henry Russell BROOKS. H.R. BROOKS had both a regular homestead, but he also had a Timber Claim, which he "proved up" in 1898. Both parcels were in Marion Twp. My Great-grandmother, Martha, had two sister, who married locally. One, Mary Brooks LUFF, ran a rooming house for many years, but I don't know where, and the other, Hattie Esther Brooks VAN VALKENBERG, still has descendents living in Lincoln Center. Vernon F.

Linda Knabke (email: jamesk@lightspeed.net) - 4 Aug 1998
I believe that Caroline DYE died in 1907 as her heirs sold the land they inherited from her to her husband Moffett DYE for $5.00. The deed was recorded in April 1907 and I assume that the transaction took place shortly after her death. Caroline lived in Russell County, very near to the border of Lincoln County. Russell County has no record of her death so perhaps the attending physician was from Lincoln. I recently received a copy of her .obituary and know that she died Mar. 13,1907. More puzzling to me is that Russell County had no probate record for the farm that her heirs sold to Moffitt DYE. I have deeds for the transaction when she died, but nothing from when he died July, 18 1912. Where would the probate record be from his death?? Is it possible it was recorded in Lincoln? Suggestions for finding the probate record for Moffitt DYE??

I am seeking information about my Step grandfather, Arthur ARTMAN, who was probate judge of Lincoln County for many, many years. I know he was born Dec. 13, 1870, near Hunter, Greene County, NY; father was Justus Arminus ARTMAN (born 1849 in NY); mother was Aspasia McCOON (born 1852 in NY). At some point they moved to Kansas. I found them in the 1900 census living in Pleasant Township and two daughters Harriett (b. 1876 in KS) and Nellie (b. April 1888 in KS). Arthur was not listed with them and I could not find him in Elkhorn Township (Lincoln Center). I think Harriett married a RYAN and lived south of Lincoln. Perhaps someone can get me in touch with some of her family and they could provide me with further information about the ARTMAN family. I was raised in Beverly and remember well Granddad ARTMAN.

I am looking for information about my grandmother's family. She was Lena (Helena?) DIEM, b. March 30, 1872, d/o Frederick and Elizabeth LOPSHIRE DIEM, in McPherson County, KS. Raised in the Elkhorn Community, Lincoln County, KS. She married Thomas Winfield ASKEY January 31, 1894. The family moved to Wichita County, KS, in November, 1906. I know she had one brother, Albert DIEM. Other than that, I have no information on the DIEMs or the LOPSHIREs (her mother's family). It is possible, since Lena was born in McPherson County, the information I seek is there.
PLEASE e-mail me at gloria_kerns@yahoo.com or gloriakerns@themail.com or gloria2k@myfamily.com

I am researching these early Lincolin Co. families: DART / GREEN / COGSWELL / HAMMER / PARKER. After an extended cross-country trip, (CT>UT>CA>TX) John DART arrived in Lincolin Center abt 1865, as a widower with several children. One child, Josephine A. DART married George GREEN. They had two girls, Julia E. GREEN and Iona I. GREEN. Julia married David J. PARKER, and Iona married Emerson HAMMER. Soon after arriving, John DART married Amanda COGSWELL. I am especially interested in this marriage and the children from it. Thank you, Russ McClintick
