COALMOND, HONONSON, McCUNE, RAMSEY "The Kansas City Post" (Missouri) Sunday, October 1, 1916 77-YEAR-OLD MAN IS YOUNGEST AT PARTY. A birthday party, at which the youngest who attended was 77 years old, was given last week by W. P. RAMSEY, White Church, Kas., in celebration of his eighty-first birthday. Four friends he has known since boyhood were the guests. John McCUNE, 83 years old, Lee COALMOND, 81, and Lawrence HONONSON, 77, the youthful one of the party, were invited to attend a similar reunion next year. Mr. RAMSEY came to Kansas in 1857, locating in Douglass county, ten miles from Lawrence. He was a resident of that city when Quantrell made his famous raid. ====================================================== (I have no connection with any of these people but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.)

ADAMS, ALMSBERGER, BELL, CARPENTER, CRAIG, CUMMIN, DOWNEY, GRIFFIN, HARTMAN, KELLEY, SMITH, STUDER, WALLACE, WEIXELDORFER, WUERTH "The Kansas City Journal" (Missouri) Wednesday, October 2, 1907 THEY'D BETTER LEARN GERMAN The jurors in the WEIXELDORFER murder trial were excused last night by Judge WALLACE, to permit them to see the Priests of Pallas parade. "I won't keep these men locked up in a hotel," the judge said. They can see the parade with their families and report here for duty in the morning at 9 o'clock." The twelve jurors are: John M. CARPENTER W. T. STUDER George W. GRIFFIN Samuel BELL C. H. HARTMAN James H. ADAMS Eugene E. CRAIG Joe H_______? W. A. SMITH Isadore CUMMIN Frank R. DOWNEY Thomas KELLEY Only three witnesses were examined yesterday. The fact that all testified in German makes the trial tedious. Judge WALLACE, on learning that there are seventy-five witnesses, and noting the small number examined, ventured the suggestion that it might be simpler for the court and jury to learn the German language. The case is that in which WEIXELDORFER, with Joseph WUERTH, is charged with having fatally injured John ALMSBERGER at a housewarming at 1884 Terrace street, early last summer. Stones and bricks were hurled by opposing parties. ALMSBERGER, after being injured, took refuge in a dog house in the yard. ====================================================== (I have no connection with any of these families but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.)

HOGAN, McKNIGHT, MURPHY, ROONEY, SHIVELY "The Kansas City Journal" (Missouri) Wednesday, December 16, 1903 HE FROZE TO DEATH. Thomas ROONEY, one of the oldest beef butchers in Kansas City, Kas., was frozen to death in an alley back of Delehunter's restaurant, near Adams street and Kansas avenue, in Armourdale, yesterday morning. He had fallen asleep in the alley, and was overcome by the cold before being discovered. The body was found about 7 o'clock yesterday morning by Thomas MURPHY, a butcher at Swift's packing house, as he was on his way to work. It was taken to Daniels Bros.' undertaking rooms, where it was viewed by Coroner SHIVELY, who decided that an inquest is unnecessary. Thomas ROONEY was 50 years old, and had lived in Armourdale since the town site was laid out. Five years ago his wife died, and since that time he has boarded at various places. His three sons, ranging from 8 to 16 years of age, are living at St. Joseph with ROONEY's mother, Mrs. Eliza HOGAN. He is also survived by a sister, Mrs. Ellen McKNIGHT, of 631 South Tenth street, Kansas City, Kas., and two brothers, Patrick, employed at the Schwarzschild & Sulzberger plant, and James, a letter carrier in Kansas City, Kas. The funeral will be held tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock from St. Thomas' Catholic church in Armourdale. Burial will be in St. John's cemetery. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.)

"The Kansas City Journal" (Missouri) Wednesday, October 2, 1907 STOLE HARNESS, LEFT HORSE. A thief Monday night took the harness from a horse standing in front of the Depot Carriage and Baggage Company's stables at Third and Wyandotte streets, threw the harness into a yellow wheeled wagon, to which the animal had been hitched, and walked away with his booty. In making a report to his commanding officer regarding the theft, Patrolman Maurice SHEEHAN winds up with: "He left the horse. The wagon and harness are still missing." ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.)

"The Kansas City Journal" (Missouri) Saturday, November 5, 1910 SEEKS "HOBO" INSPECTOR. Chief of Police W. E. GRIFFIN is looking for a suitable man to fill the position of "hobo" inspector, recently created by the police commissioners. The new man's duty will be to keep a register of the unemployed men in the city who frequent the saloons of the North Side and to force them either to go to work or leave the city. He will be provided with a list of jobs at which the men can be put to work, and Chief GRIFFIN believes a man peculiarly adapted for that kind of work will be hard to find. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.)

(No names but I thought amusing!) "The Kansas City Journal" (Missouri) Monday, November 7, 1910 THERE'S A DIFFERENCE. How Car Conductor Tells Sex of Person Who Rings. A Prospect avenue car was nearing Tenth street on Walnut street, northbound, about 1 p.m. Friday. As it began to slow down for the stop, there being an intersecting line on Tenth, there were three long rings at the bell. "Bet that's a woman," remarked the conductor, who was riding with his back toward the car. "What makes you think so?" he was asked. "Because men never ring for one of these regular stops. Ninety-nine times out of 100 it is a woman. In the other one case it's some Rube from the country who would ring for the end of the line, anyway." By that time the car had come to a stop. One woman arose and left by the front exit. "You guessed right," the conductor was told. "I can do better than that," he went on. "As a general rule I can tell whether it was a man or woman who rang the bell, no matter where the stop may be." "What's the difference?" "On a car men generally are reading or talking with their neighbor. Anyway, they are a busy lot and do things quickly. A man will wait until the car is just approaching his street. Then you will hear one short rasp, sometimes two. Say a woman wants off at Tracy avenue, eastbound. The minute the car sticks its nose beyond Forest avenue she begins to manipulate that bell. We generally get three long, drawn-out sighs from her. And the Lord help the motorman if he carries her by. She will give one solid, continuous ring until the car stops and then she will give a 'piece of her mind' to either me or the motorman, whichever way she chances to get out. It makes no difference which gets it, as a woman feels that it is coming to you when she gets carried by." "What does a man do when carried by?" "Oh, a man may cuss a little, good-naturedly, say something about a slick rail or advise us to sand the track. But a man never feels so personally affronted as does a woman." ======================================================

BILLIKOPF, FISHER, SCHREIBER, STERN "The Kansas City Journal" (Missouri) Tuesday, October 20, 1908 JEWISH WORKMEN AT SCHOOL. Enrollment at the night school of the Jewish Educational Alliance started yesterday at headquarters, 1702 Locust street. About eighty-five enrolled. Jacob BILLIKOPF, who is at the head of the alliance, said last night that he expected an enrolment of more than 100. The pupils will be divided into four classes, according to their advancement in the art of speaking English. Almost all of those who have enrolled are grown men, some nearly 60 years old, and all are employed during the day. Few of them can speak English passably and many not at all. The classes will be taught by Jacob BILLIKOPF, Miss Dora FISHER, Karl SCHREIBER, Miss Clara STERN and one other teacher not yet appointed. All the grade school branches will be taught and special classes in English conversation will be arranged. Enrollment will be continued today and classes will begin tomorrow at 8 p.m. and continue throughout the winter. ====================================================== (I have no connection with any of these families but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.)

I want to thank every one who has been a part of my almost five year search to find Margaret's America roots. I have finally located Raymond's only surviving sibling. What a happy ending to this long search. She asked about Margaret and wanted pictures. We both just cried. I know I have the correct family at last. I can hardly wait to get the letters in the mail.
