I could not find a Lee or Levi Young anywhere in Kansas in my census index. I did find an Eli Young living in Lawrence, 2nd Ward, pg 316. I looked him up on the census. It appears he's boarding, no other Youngs listed. Age 58, carpenter, born in New York. There are other Youngs listed in Douglas county. If this isn't the one you are looking for, do you have an age for Levi? Hope this helps.

Where could I find the 1859 Douglas County census? Recently I found the name of what I believe was my ancestor, listed on p. 31 in the Lawrence Twp., Douglas Co. census. I found this on Ancestry, but the actual scanned pages are not found on Ancestry. I knew that he had at least one son that went to Kansas. I have not checked, either, the 1860 federal census index for Kansas, and wonder if anyone would have access to a copy of that so I would have at least the page number to check. --Richard

John, I'm going through the 1870 census right now.....I'm just in that section (Lawrence City)....so won't get back to searching until tomorrow afternoon, but I'll look at that time for you.

Does anyone have any information on a Fred SKINNER who was born in Kansas about 1884, married Gladys Beatrice MULLEN, and died of tuberculosis in 1920, Lawrence, Douglas County, Kansas. Both he and his wife had tuberculosis. She got better and re-married after he died. I have not been able to find anything about the man. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks. Pat

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Obituary The Oread, February 19, 1999 Lawrence, Douglas county, Kansas USA Neva E. ENTRIKIN Neva E. ENTRIKIN, 66, died Aug.1 The former office supervisor for KU's Spencer Museum of Art, ENTRIKIN resigned in 1992 to run for a seat in the Kansas House. At that time, state law said that classified state employees - including accountants, secretaries, custodians, police and clerical workers - had to resign their jobs if they sought public office with the state, although unclassified employees did not. The Legislature later changed that law, and ENTRIKIN was part of that effort. ENTRIKIN began working at KU in October 1976. In 1987 she was appointed to the Kansas Public Employees Retirement System's board of directors by then-Gov. Mike HAYDEN. She earned a bachelor's degree in personnel administration from KU and also did graduate work. She was a member of Leadership Lawrence, the League of Women Voters and the University Place Neighborhood Association. Survivors include her husband, Max, of the home; two daughters, Laurie PLUMMER, Ontario, Ore., and Lynne SEYB, Littleton, Colo.; three sons, Rob ORESKOVICH, Temperance, Mich., Bo ORESKOVICH, Ohio; two brothers; two sisters; and seven grandchildren.

Yes, I would very much like to see this! This is one of the areas I'm researching as I try to learn more about the Hesper community (ca 2 miles south of Eudora) and the surrounding areas. I'd also be interested in knowing who your contact is. The Eudora Area Historical Society is interested in interviewing people from the area who have memories or family stories about the history. You can reach me at the e-mail address below.
