Sanburn, of Maquon, Knox Co., L, married in 1859 Emily Nichols and moved to Hartford, Lyon Co., KS, where they resided 1859-1862. William was unfortunately mortally injured in a steam boiler explosion and the family moved back to Maquon to live with Emily's parents, Joel & Sarah Nichols. William died several years later, in 1865. Wonder what the attraction in Lyon Co., KS was for those Knox county people?
