YOur great-grandmother was known as "Mert" by Ben's daughters. She was the new step-mother and not well-received the grown and almost grown daughters. My grandmother "Jennie" said she and the youngest daugheter (Pearl) "went out the back door when the new wife came in the front door." Pearl was a bit more diplomatic, and said, "We did not approve of the woman Pappa married." As I wrote earlier, my mother had been told Ben was having an affair with Myrtle before his first wife died, but that could be the story told by one or more of the "step-daughters" who did not want a new mother. Send me your e-mail and I will see what pictures I have, if any. The house and buildings are all gone, and the current owners have a newer house up away from the creek. The one living grandson told me the house was built of walnut because that was what was convenient in the area. Don't know of that is true or not. I may have the! legal description of the land. I am pretty sure it was sold around 1940 and the daughters, one son, and your grandmother split up the proceeds. I was told she did not want to sell. I was also told that she and her son and daugheter-in-law lived on the place for several years without paying rent. Not exactly several year if left by 1926...and I would think a widow due some consideration. So one of those family issues from almost a 100 years ago!! Good to hear from you and I will see what more I have. Larry Hardesty ebony51@frontiernet.net Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Author: Anniebear3 Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.kansas.counties.cowley/176.1.1.1.2.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Myrtle is my great grandmother. I have never seen a picture of her so I would be grateful to see one. I do not know why they all moved to New York. That's a good question and I will try to figure that out. I was told years ago they moved in 1926. I think my grandfather, Homer, left his wife, Jesse and children when he moved to New York where he met my grandmother. When she found out he was still married she ordered him back to his wife and either reconcile or divorce. She wouldn't see him until this was resolved. He obtained the divorce in 1929. So that tells me they moved somewhere between 1926 and probably 1928. When my grandparents were reunited they lived a very long and happy life together. I do not know what happened to my great grandfather, William Kaats, or the land he had in Oklahoma. I have not been able to find anything. It is possible he married a woman named Sadie K. but I haven't been able to confirm. Do you have any documents or letters?

I will do some looking. Yes, the children of Ben and his wife are: Pearl (youngest); Hazel, Jennie, Lillie, and Roy. I think the farm was in the family until the early 1940s. I have talked with the family now on the farm. What is your connection with Myrtle? I think only one grandchild of Ben and his wife is still alive, but quite a few great-grandchildren are (including myself). I always have been interested in how one goes from a farm in rural Oklahoma to New York City. What is the story--if you do not mind.

Myrtle moved to New York with all her children and stayed there until she died in 1950. So, no, she did not return to the farm. I wonder what happened to it.

They have two sons: Calvin born in Cowley County, Kansas December 22, 1889 and Carl born in Nebraska July 24,1891. The two young sons end up as orphans and back in Pendleton County Kentucky by 1900.

Two years previous, (1885) William Stringham living at home with parents (William & Matilda) in Toronto, Woodson County, Kansas. Alpha Partlow also resided in Toronto, Woodson County in 1885 with parents (Stephen & Lydia). A family member seems to think they may have been neighbours. Does anyone know if William & Alpha actually married and lived in Cowley County. By 1889 William jnr., Alpha & Owen had moved state to Washington, where a daughter, Lydia was born in 1890.
