I have to share the best Cowley Co., KS history resource with everyone. The Wortmans (Richard "Kay" & Mary Ann) have written several books on the history of Cowley County, KS. Mary Ann has copied and retyped articles of interest from several of the local newspapers including: The Winfield Courier and The Arkansas City Republican. These retyped articles are sorted by date/year/newspaper name (starting at 1869 to 1891 and 1918 to 1922 to date) at the web page address below. Double-click on each entry to open it. You will be amazed. FYI--You can also choose FIND (control + F) and search for your family surname. Mary Ann and Dr. Wm. (Bill) Bottoroff continue to document Cowley County's history. You will have them to thank, as I did. I have found volumes of history on my family members: McMullen, Loomis, Kinne, Harkins, Colgate and Matlack, all of Cowley County....since the 1860s.
