FYI there is also a town named Liberal in Barton County, Missouri just a few miles over the state line from Crawford County, Kansas. If Thomas was living in Crawford County, I would think he could quite likely be digging a well in Liberal, Missouri. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
