Jim, Hugoton was the name of the town where my grandparents (Hubert Leland HARKEY and Mary OWEN) went to help out on his father's farm (Wells Rudolf HARKEY and Eva BISHOP). There must have been a sizable gathering of Harkeys and Bishops in that place. I had forgotten the name "Hugoton" until you wrote it. My grandmother (Mary Harkey) told this about moving to Kansas. She was 93 at the time. Q: After you got married [in Dunklin Co MO], did you live in your own place or did you live with your parents? We lived in the parsonage across the field. We rented that. Then we went to Kansas after that. He had these horses, everything to go on a farm, but Mr. Harkey's sister and husband went to Kansas and (xxx) place and Mrs. Harkey wasn't well . But Aunt Kathy and her husband went and got them a place, but Mrs. Harkey, Hubert's mother, wasn't very well, and they wanted to go, so they picked up and they wouldn't go without Hubert agoing, and I didn't want to stand in the way, so we all went to Kansas. Q: Did you go in cars? No we went on a train. Hubert and Walter, his cousin, they went in with the cattle. In the cattle cars. Q: Did you have any children at that time? No Q: That wasn't such a long trip, was it? How long was it? Did you know exactly where you were going? Yes, Mr. Harkey [Wells] already had a brother out there, you see. Went out there on a visit and came back. Q: Were they going to do wheat? Yes, well, that's what they knowed there, was wheat. Q: But he didn't stay a farmer for long, did he? I don't how long we stayed there before we went back to Missouri. Beulah was sick. Q: What kind of sick? Well, she just almost had consumption, so the doctor told him he'd better get himself back to Kansas. So we went back. We didn't do much farming then. [Sand would blow?] across the road . . . we never did think much of it. And then we went into the store business. . . . Alma
