You can do a Google search for Latah County Kansas Cemeteries and look in the inventoried cemeteries for her name. You can contact the Latah County Historical Society, www.latah.id.us/historicalsociety/ for a copy of her death notice and death date. I didn't find that Caroline died or married in Idaho. I suspect she died in Kansas. You can do a Google search for Jewell County Kansas Cemeteries and look for her in the inventoried cemeteries. If she died there, it was too early for an official death records. There might have been a death notice in their local newspaper. Kansas does have newspapers on microfilm at the Kansas Historical Society, www.kshs.org/newspaper/newspaper_reels/search/county:JW. Contact your local public library about viewing these reel(s) via inter-library transfer. The North Central Kansas Genealogical Society, http://cawkercitypl.blogspot.com/2007/11/genealogical-society.html and have them look through their microfilm and cemetery records. It's also possible that she died in Idaho and an early death wouldn't be recorded on a death record. I'd contact the Latah County Historical Society about her possible death there. Successful Searching! As a side note, I'm a shirt-tail relative of this Toskey family. My aunt Merle Wagner married Manford Toskey who was a son of Elling and Hulda. That's what perked up my interest when I saw the Toskey surname. I didn't know that his extended family came from Kansas to Idaho and then to Grant County, Washington. Merle and Monte lived almost all of their lives in Seattle, WA. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I thought the topic Norwegian immigrants leaving Jewell Co, in 1880 for Idaho rather interesting. As think my Norwegian ancestors came to Jewell County a bit after. They were Elias Peter and Anna Reystead. Reystead was apparently their farm name in Norway and he had been Paulson and she Iversdatter. Their first child my grandmother Minda Evira Pauline was born in 1879 in Norway. She married Isaac Montgomery and they later moved to Eastern Kansas to the Baldwin area.

Classification: biography Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.kansas.counties.jewell/1226/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Jewell County REPUBLICAN Sayings 1924 JANUARY Dr. Wesselowski: I speculated once on the advice of Tom Bartholow and when I got through I didn't have any clothes. Jack Harrison: Jewell county candidates for state senator are coming down on us like a wolf on the fold. Wm. Hoffer: This is the 40th time I've subscribed for the Republican and it was $1.50 a year the first time. Lem Wolfe: There is no fly in my wheat, it didn't get up in time, but I expect there will be trouble where there was much volunteer. Grant Sloan: If you stick your signal hand out of a car a lot of folks think you want to see them. C.K. Peck: I was in three blocks of that $32,000 hold-up in Kansas City last Friday. Geo. C. Peck: Zane Grey's new book, "The Call of the Canyon," was just offered for sale Jan. 5th. It will be sent postpaid on receipt of price $2.00. R.L. McDaniel: The Jewell community doesn't know how well it's off. I wouldn't take my children away from it's wholesome influence if they'd give me a good mine. Ellis McIntyre: At my sale 13 years ago, Fred Griffin bought an old lister for 60 cents and that same lister brought $6.00 last Tuesday. I figure Fred ought to give me a little interest on that investment. John Brennan: We can raise mules for what they are selling for now. We couldn't do that last year. W.A. Matson: The reason I think times will get better after the depression is that it always has been that way. But I believe farmers have got to use their brains some way to head off this early volunteer wheat that makes such a breeding place for Hessian fly. Mrs. Purdy: For pity sake don't tell them all I said or all the neighbors will stop the paper if they would read all I say. It looks like everybody pitched hay on this place by the looks of the pile of pitchforks. John Perfect: I got pulled down to 104 pounds, but I'm coming back now. Jack Moore: I fell for this bobbed hair fad. After spending six weeks at home, I decided to follow the example of the girls and have my tresses bobbed. J.D. Stevens: I'm going to Curtis, Neb., for a few weeks. The trip amounts to about 225 miles and I have to change cars five times. Bob Nulty: The scale inspector spent two minutes with us, said "Six dollars," and went his way. Wm. Gaston: I can't see to read much but I can still hear, so I'm going to buy a radio. John Hoffer: I'm glad father did get a radio. It will keep him from cutting wood all winter. I think he has wood in the bottom of his pile which we cut twenty years ago before I left home. David Knarr: If a man keep buying when he doesn't sell anything he soon finds himself up a tree. Will Petrie: I beat the grasshoppers getting to Kansas. FEBRUARY Meyer Miles: I was enjoying myself fine at the banquet Tuesday night until I overheard a lady say to Mrs. Carpenter, "Who's that boy sitting by you who seems to be having such a good time?" Mrs. Robert Nulty: Bob sat up with the radio one night until 1 o'clock. Mrs. F.M. Tatman, Wendell, Ida.: The coldest we have had it was 5 degrees below zero one night. We have had only a little snow, which is almost gone. S. Coffman: I have only eleven years more to go to live to be a hundred. I think if I half try I can make it. Rete Crandall: More stomachs are spoiled by good cooks than poor ones. Nest Kreamer: The storm in northern Illinois was the worst I ever saw. Twice I was blown clear off the sidewalk into the middle of the street. I was glad to get back to Kansas. Bob Nulty: I think we are getting back on a better business basis. Mrs. Howard Edwards: I saw 10,000 bushels of shelled corn on the ground all in one pile at Hill City. Clarence Peattie: I have never made a practice to charge anyone for helping them out of mud or a snowdrift when stalled with an auto and I sure will not start to do so now on the editor of the Republican. Alvin Miller: We heard this week of the death of Dan Marks, once well known in Jewell. He lived in Chicago but was buried in St. Joseph. Mrs. John Gunn, Urbana, Iowa: We have had some cold weather part of the time this winter and there is some snow on the ground now. I enjoy hearing from many of my old friends through the Republican. Some very sad news sometimes as well as pleasant news. I surely felt sorry to hear of Mr. McGugin's death, our dear neighbor on the farm. C.W. Medcalf: My wife can make a better speech than I can because she gets more experience at home. Art Schumacher (after the play at the schoolhouse): I always take the last woman out of the building, for that is always my wife. J. Emmert: My pure bred Buff Orpington pullets layed (sic) 824 eggs in the last two months. Howard Edwards: I would rather have the money that is spent on gasoline by people who go to see the oil wells being drilled in this country than the oil that is likely to come from them. MARCH B.M. Palmer: I am starting my ninth year in the postoffice (sic). I have served under three presidents and four postmaster generals. Only two postmasters have held longer terms in Jewell than I have. J.F. Kelsey: We are now located on our farm in Republic county, two miles south of Byram, Neb. We have 240 acres of this good old Kansas dirt and are feeling pretty much at home. J.E. Fairbairn: I have had a good suitatorium (sic) business since coming to Jewell and I believe the new low prices announced last week will bring much more business. (He later -same paper - left for CA & Mr. Ralph Blake took his place) Loren Wolfe: Our business at the Fisher Yard is a third better than last year. Orva Brunnemer: I have not sold my filling station. Will Myres: The Mrs. John O. Evans sale amounted to something like $7,000. Ten days after the sale, the only note settlement was for $20. Jack Kreamer clerked a sale near Glen Elder than was all cash. Where is the money coming from? C.W. Medcalf: I can't see a thing wrong with the wheat. W.M. Green: There is never a time when we cannot raise cow feed. Cows tie a person down pretty close, but I do not know of any way by which a man can win independence and build up a surplus, that doesn't tie him down while he is doing it. A.C. Ely, Anniston, Fla.: I have gained twenty-five pounds since coming here. We have a wonderful climate here. When your worst blizzard and snow came in February we had ours here. Just enough snow fell here that you could say it snowed, patches about as large as your hat. Had heavy rain last night but is clear and balmy today. Dr. Vallette: I saw fifty prairie chickens out on Harry Wheeler's place last Tuesday morning. Jim Gavin: I never before saw so many fine good natured young people in town as we had here for the basketball tournament. It makes me feel good to see them. Somebody paid for the privilege I got in getting my boys educated because I know I didn't and now I'm willing to help along and pay my share without kicking. Guy Harrison: This snow and weather would be just fine sugar time back in Vermont. We used to hang between 600 and 700 buckets each season and sometimes when the snow melted before we got done tapping the trees we had to have a short ladder to reach the pails. If the snow got crusted, we had to bandage all the legs of the horses we used to protect them and sometimes they'd get cut through them. Miss Amy H. Kimmel, Cape Girardeau, Mo.: The sixth of next month it will be 20 years since I arrived in Jewell. I have many pleasant recollections of the six years I spent in Jewell and often think of the friends there. I have been so sorry to hear of the illness of Mrs. L.S. Grimm. Ben Schafer: Every place I go the snow is belly deep. D.C. Blacker: This paralysis business isn't what it's cracked up to be. They said I had a light stroke, and if that's the case I don't want a heavy one. John Brennan: The alfalfa seed we get in Jewell county does better with us than any we have tried. Herman Berg: The snow was belly deep to a team right out in the open field. Mrs. W.W. Bollman: It seems a terrible ways to town with the horses. We've been spoiled. John Kemmerer: This is the first time sickness has brought Dad Brewer to bed in Forty years. Sam Wolfe: I sowed 15 acres of sweet clover in my pasture last spring, and the cattle let the prairie grass grow and kept the clover down. Tom Dyas: I notice a fellow has to hustle if he gets anything advertised in that "Cent a Word" column. Dr. Wesselowski: I'm not learning to play Ma Jong. Poker's good enough for me. Scott Henninger: The postmaster now runs the down-town freight office. Mrs. Nellie Berry: Nobody can do much business when the women don't come to town.J.S. Cooper: "Forty-five years ago St. Patrick's Day 'in the morning', we left Pennsylvania, with wife and four little children, for Kansas. There was about six inches of snow all the way through Missouri but when we reached Kansas instead of snow the green grass was a foot high over the prairies. Landed at Concordia, and were taken across the Republican on a ferry. Fred Beeler was on the train with us from Missouri to Concordia and wanted us to go on to Cawker City with him. Instead we came across the Cheyenne prairie (Jamestown) to Jewell County." --Formoso NEW ERA. S.D. Elyea: I'm not quite out of the mud. I still have a hundred head of cattle to feed. APRIL Rock Yapp, Manhattan: I see by the paper that Otis Stanbery and Emerson Gavin have gone to Oregon to work. When they get there the people out there will think they grow them tall in Kansas. Mrs. Addie Bell: Please change my address from Berlin, Wisconsin, to Mount Vernon, Mo. We are moving there the first of April. Fred Kreamer: I never saw my dad and mother so crippled up. They have so much rheumatism they can hardly get up in the morning. John Paler: We are finding out it costs money to even give a baby a home. The whole matter has to be taken through court. Clate Frank: April 1st is a good day to start the Republican coming. Then if I get fooled I won't be surprised. W.G. Wells: No, I'm not H.G. Wells, and I'm afraid we're no relation. Mrs. Hallie White: The doctors kept me in bed for six months. Mrs. Lon Dye: I am sure glad to be back in my little home in Jewell. Mrs. Zela McClung: I was led to believe that nowhere else on earth were there so many varieties of weather as in Kansas; but I know now, that Kansas has a keen completion in Iowa. Tom Dyas: We've had a regular hospital at our house all winter, and last, Fred Abram sent his children to our house while he and his wife went to Pratt to attend the funeral of an uncle, and I'll be darned if one of them didn't get sick and have to go to bed with our girl. G.B. Howe: Egg prices are not very high, but our chickens are bringing us from $12 to $16 a week. Mrs. R.M. Vance: We are moving from Superior, Colo., to Hardin, Colo. We are on another big ranch; 4000 acres, 1500 head of cows. Ralph is going to do the irrigating. W.H. Cheney: Laffer and I counted 260 cars in town one Saturday night. They probably cost near $200,000, and the gasoline and upkeep would reach an immense sum. It takes a pretty good country to stand a drain like that as all this money goes out of the country. Mrs. J.O. Laffer: I think it's an outrage to put a young woman's name in the "Forty Years Ago" column. MAY Will Mowers: There are no flies on the alfalfa. It's growing so fast they couldn't stay on. S.D. Elyea: If a man raised nothing but wheat he wouldn't work more than three months in the year. How can anybody expect to make a living with that much work. I notice that the fellows who plan their work to keep busy the year around get along pretty well. H.L. Noller: The advertising counts more for me than anything else in the paper. N.D. Pence: Mrs. Boogaart is the best gardener in town. She even beats the dutch. F.W. Bevington: The first alfalfa goes at a discount because it isn't cut young enough. It gets too coarse. J.F. Kelsey: I rented all the plowed land and am farming the rest myself. W.A. Matson: I think the farm bloc is the best thing in congress, and the more those eastern fellows how the better I like it. Mrs. P.G. Price: Sometimes I think I'll have to move back to the farm to rest. George Davis: Since eggs are to be graded the little quail-sized pullets will go out of style. B.M. Palmer: I haven't decided yet what I'll do when I go out of the postoffice. L.M. Jorgenson: During a portion of my school days I attended school three days in the week. Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The other days I had to stay at home and help on the farm. This is some different from the way some get their schooling now days. George Clelland: I traded houses with Art Schumacher first, then Art's house for Orva Brunnemer's and now if I can trade for a good car I'll drive home to California. A PICNIC: A picnic at the Jack Wright grove drew a large crowd Sunday. Between 6 and 7 hundred people ate dinner and more arrived in the afternoon. A few things heard at the picnic: Jack Wright: 50 year ago last Friday, I first met Bill Loomis and that's the reason we're having this picnic, celebrating the occasion. Rev. L.B. Tremain: I'm not going to tell everything that I know happened here in the early days, in my speech today. Otis Yapp: I wish they'd leave this table set all afternoon, cause I can't eat it all now and maybe I could by night. JUNE H.C. White: We are picking about fifty quarts of strawberries a day. Howard Sellers: We plan to return to Detroit after harvest. Charles A. Deach, Gaston, Ore: The University of Oregon at one time made a canvass of the weekly newspapers of the U.S. and found that the Jewell Republican ranked second in worth of all the papers investigated. For myself, I find it invaluable as a dispenser of current events, political and otherwise, and herewith enclose check for one year subscription to same. Mrs. Sarah Seamans: Please change my address from Elgin, Ill., to Reedsburg, Wis., care of L. Melvin McClure, E. Main St. JULY Bob Nulty: I told Tom Glick that the band at the Democratic convention was a special Italian band sent over by the Pope. Mrs. N.D. Pence: It takes an air tight fence to hold little chickens. L.F. Payne: More than one-half the chicken consists of water, and every dozen averaged sized eggs the hens produce contain one pint of water. Therefore chickens must have access to all the water they will drink this hot weather if they are to function normally. Art Buffington: Out at our place we plowed fifty acres of corn a day. E.L. Gray: Alfalfa seed is worth $20 a hundred wholesale. The thing to do with our 2nd crop of alfalfa is to save it for seed. Mrs. Geo. Kelly: The weather man has decided that if there are so many of us who can't afford to go to the mountains for the summer, he will send the mountain weather to us. C.B. Rose: E.R. Zimmerman officiated at our wedding, and just ten years later my wife and I attended his funeral. J.D. Stevens: I paid taxes on a farm down in Anderson county this year that grew up to weeds. I couldn't rent it. Chas. F. Loomis: Pastures are pretty dry, but I've got a lot of sweet clover and the cattle like it. E.D. Fisher: Coolidge and Davis are the same type of men-able, clean, upright, and both believe if big eastern business is kept prosperous that everybody will prosper. Neither of them know there is any such country as Kansas, except what they see marked out on the map. George Dempsey: The fellows up our way who have been using sweet clover for a few years are beginning to see a big difference in their land. It has convinced me, and I am going to give it a try out myself. Some sow it with their oats, then when the oats are cut the clover comes right on. Mrs. Zela McClung: I am never coming to Jewell again when I have but a week to stay. I didn't get half way around. I.N. Pence, Uva, Wyo.: Kindly change address on my paper from Wheatland, Wyo., to Uva, Wyo. Thank you in advance for this favor and tendering my best regards to one of the most clean and reliable publications I ever knew. Mrs. Chas. F. Schafer: We will move to town as soon as the threshing's done. Tom Glick: I feed my chiggers vinegar. W.H. Cheney: Mine (chiggers) do best on camphor. L.M. Snow: The bugs cleaned ten acres of corn for me, but I'm feeling good. Harley Richer: I have to keep 13 threshing tractors filled with gasoline, and it keeps me going. They each use $7 worth a day. AUGUST Arnold Stone: I gained eight pounds in two weeks. Mrs. Isaac Wallace: Ike is out plowing every day. That's the kind of politician he is. Henry White: I have a pear tree 42 years old, still bearing. Fred Bartsch: I believe there's a joker in this protein business. Clifford Kent: I'm quitting the treasurer's office because there isn't pay enough in it for the work demanded. I can do better. Wm. Gaston: I have thirty-four varieties of flowers in my yard. They all bloomed this summer. W.I. Jordan: I have driven 1000 miles the las thirty days and the worst roads I found were between my place and Jewell. John Mesnard: One of my sows farrowed twenty pigs the other night. That beats all my records. Chug Dawdy: I never saw such fireworks as we had Monday night. It kept making me jump half out of bed. C.F. Schafer: I'm not going to paint my old house in town. I may want to build a bungalow there. W.H. Cheney: This is the first time I have been in Jewell on Old Settlers day in eight years. C.C. Reynolds, Tacoma, Wash.: How I would like to be in Jewell on Old Settlers day! I have made it there three times since I have lived here. J. Jacobson: A man living just a few miles north of my place had the roof and windows so broken up by hail that the family was almost drowned out. W.C. McClung: When I first landed in this town (Jewell) there wasn't two boards nailed together. Roy Alvord: Our country west of Mayview will have enough corn to feed us, and we are mighty thankful for that. A.D. Fink, Formoso: We had a crabapple tree bending to the ground with its load. We picked off one bucketful of fruit and brought them to our friends in Jewell. While we were gone the hail got the rest. Earl Woolsey: I mike ten winter cows and that gives me good paying work all winter; but I don't want many fresh cows in the summer. Aunt Harriet Alcorn: Mr. Alcorn returned to his home in Nebraska Sunday, taking his mother with him. Jack Haskins: It's just nine miles from my corner to every place - Randall, Jamestown, Courtland and Formoso. C.H Easter: If I don't get a dollar a bushel for the corn I am feeding this bunch of hogs, I'll miss my figures. Chas. Dye: The forty head of cows and calves that run on Sam Wolfe's sweet clover pasture, sure look fine. I believe sweet clover is the best pasture going. It is great stuff, but folks have been a long time finding it out. Burr Betts: I've had hay fever for the past 25 years. S.B. Rank: I made 32 hives this year to accommodate the increase of my 50 stands of bees; but got only six swarms all told. Other bee keepers report similar results. It would seem like a better year than common for bees and it takes a smarter man than I am to explain it. Dr. Kinnamon: I wish some of the doctors from Jewell, Ionia, Randall and Formoso would get home. They have about run me ragged. It's too much territory. SEPTEMBER Wm. Gaston: I can remember things I learned 70 years ago, but I can't remember things I learned last week. Sam Wolfe: The coyotes have killed a good many of my turkeys since I have lived on the West Buffalo, but I've got 35 of them. Ed Wilson: Face things as they are, then go out and make them better. Chas. Eberhart: I am going to raise sweet clover instead of sourlock along the sloughs in my pastures. I think a pasture can be increased one-fourth in that way. Mrs. George Eychner: If somebody would steal a hundred of our chickens we'd never know it. Mr. Bevington: Where this fine grove is I herded cattle many years ago. There were no trees but big slough grass and many prairie chickens were in it. Ed Wilson: There is just one Jewell county boy in the State Industrial School for boys, at Topeka. Ed Wilson: It isn't divorce reform we need as much as marriage reform. H.J. Green: We are liking Jewell just fine. All the people seem kind and pleasant. Mrs. Callie Spielman: The Republican called me Mrs. Callie Debus last week and a lot of people have been asking when I got a divorce. Ed Jones: In my farming operations I like to have as many strings on my fiddle as I can play so if one breaks I can still play a tune. For some time my wheat string has been pretty weak. P.G. Price: The Studebaker is one of the best cars made. L.S. Grimm: School teachers now get as much in a week as I used to get in a month. OCTOBER L.R. Davis: I've got eleven sheep and I wish I had a hundred. John Kemmerer: I haven't many trees, but I think I'll have a hundred bushels of winter apples. Henry Boaz: I'm getting pretty old but I've got too much work on hand to die yet awhile. J.L. Gavin: I've got to build a bigger store. Alvah James: I hadn't had a letter from Al Slattery for two years, until the Aggies beat K.U. The next day I got a letter from him. E.D. Sullivan: My wife sees to it that our time doesn't run out on the Republican. Mrs. Lloyd Rowley: We don't know what rain looks like down in Russell county. Wm. Zipse: My wife said I should come in and wallop you fellows for stopping our Republican. O.R. Beeler: My father used to tell me that when everybody was afraid of high priced corn, was the time to feed. E.A. Hoag: I've been about everywhere in the past year and I didn't find any better place than Kansas. G.W. McClung: Our new address is 3612 Ingersoll Ave, Des Moines, Iowa. We are in the throes of moving again. It's awful. I can't understand how a preacher can move as often as he does and still have any standing with St. Peter. NOVEMBER John Moore: A man that lives with a woman 20 years and can't change her politics should not have a wife. W.W. Nixon: I've had the same battery in my car for seven years, and have never had it recharged. Fred W. Meyer: More people visited school in one day last week than in all the previous years I have been here. F.I. Drake: I am going to Florida alone and I'll come back alone. Jack Moore: My flock of chickens in town have a little patch of green wheat to run on. It is so small they would kill it if allowed to run on it all the time. So I open the gate and let them eat green stuff about ten minutes a day. It does them a lot of good. DECEMBER Meyer Miles: I was born in Wales. Wesley Harbison: I'm starting on my eighty-fifth year and am feeling fine. J.L. Gavin: Last year we sold $300 worth of coffee in our special sale. B.F. Spatz: I have never had a failure in raising oats, and I haven't fed corn to horses in fifteen years. I sell corn and feed oats. Splitwood Smith: If my chickens would come up missing some morning I believe I'd advertise for them. A Randall man brought home my overshoe. S. Coffman: Jorgenson is a queer duck. He hauled me two loads of cobs and wouldn't take a cent. Cal Crumrine: I tell you the best people I ever saw live right here in Jewell and the country surrounding. This isn't just talk, it's a fact and when you live somewhere else while you realize it. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: rabbitgumby Surnames: Tonning, Toskey Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.kansas.counties.jewell/1225/mb.ashx Message Board Post: In about 1880 my ancestors (great grandparents) lived in Center, Jewell, Kansas. About 22 of them decided to immigrate to Idaho via San Francisco (by train to there) and then by ship up the coast and on up the Columbia River to Idaho. Amongst them were the Tonning and Toskey families, and perhaps other Norwegian families. Is there any mention of those names in anything besides the census? Two Toskey children are totally unaccounted for, and marriage certificates, birth certificates, and death certificates are (so far) unaccounted for in those families, although we know they were in that area from at least 1875-1880. ANY clues or leads would be appreciated. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I found you letter about your g g grandparents being from Jewell County very interesting my g g grandparents immigrated from Norway in 1881, living first in Galveston, Texas where he apparently worked as an interpreter for immigration. They then moved to Jewell County a couple of years later. I've always wondered why they moved to Jewell County, now wonder if it was perhaps that they knew some of the prior immigrants. They were Elias Peter Paulson, whose parents were Paul Gulbrunson and Anna Quisler. Anna was born Anna Iversdatter Togstad daughter of Anna Johannessen and Iver Christopherson Togstad. Their daughter Minda Evira Pauline ( my grandmother) was born in 1879 in Norway. The family changed their last name to Reystead when they emigrated which I understand was the name of their family farm in Norway. Minda later changed her name to Minnie and married Isaac Montgomery and they moved to the Lawrence, Kansas area around 1911. Elias and Anna are both buried in Mankato, Kansas.

Boogaart: When I was 12 years old I milked 10 cows twice a day. Mrs. C.A. Morgan (Sarah Adeline Carr), Ionia: We have taken the Republican 40 years. We take seven papers and I tell my husband I'd rather all the rest would quit rather than let the Republican stop. Lester Ayers: I picked the biggest corn ear I have ever seen the other day: it weighed 2 lbs. Mrs. Ed Brunnemer (Cora Belle Harbison): I am learning to drive the car but when it comes to backing I prefer driving around the section. Mrs. Chas. Bennett: It takes a pretty good writer to be a correspondent of the Republican. Miss Clara Sapp: Nobody talks about you in New York. They don't care what you do. Albert Applebee: If I hadn't been forced to take care of wheat at just the wrong time I believe I'd had $500 worth of corn more than I have. John Smith: My hogs are not feeling very well. Fred Beeler: I lived 52 years without calling a doctor. Will Elliott: This is the time to go into the turkey business. It will cost one-half as much for breeding stock. Feed 'em on grasshoppers and kafir, both sure crops. Jim Dawdy: I believe I made two records at my public sale, in selling a horse for $100 and a cow for $83. Mrs. Henry Krier: We've got a new boy out at our house. A little orphan boy from Abilene. Howard Stapleton: I haven't a hog on the place and only a half interest in one that's off visiting with the neighbors. Lige Smith: There were a few more than a thousand people in the meeting at the school house Sunday night. J.O. Crawford: Please change the address of my Republican to 429 E Orange St., Monrovia, Calif. Suppose you are having big crowds at the Rose meetings. We heard them nearly every night at Concordia last winter and would like to hear them again. All is well and the weather is fine here at present. Jacob Zipse: This fine weather doesn't worry me. It has been my observation that no matter how much snow or cold we had in the winter, if the rains and right weather didn't come when the crops needed them, this winter moisture didn't help us out. Burr Betts: We can't raise turkeys at our place. The skunks and coons and badgers and opossums get them all. Ivan Jordan: I have eaten so much goose this week that I think I'll have to hunt a pond. Phillip Bohnert: You ought to see what a fuss I can make when rheumatism is twisting my legs. Jake Ford: I'm holding the head clerkship down on Cal Ohlinger's farm. C.K.

Lafe Zentz: This is the first time I have been down town in three months. Mrs. Benj. Musser (Caroline Stout): I sat on a front seat when I was a girl and heard the debate between Lincoln and Douglas. Clint Blacker: My wife thought corn wasn't good enough for her fancy chickens, so she climbed up on a saw horse to get at the wheat bin; tipped over and broke her shoulder. Orva Brunnemer: I had 13,000 gallons of gas when the price dropped before and had just unloaded 8,000 the day before the 2-cent drop came this time. Art Buffington: I sold the first span of mules that ever brought $500 in Jewell county. E.C. Wilkes: There are drawbacks in all countries and I think a man is better off right here in Jewell county than he would be in Oregon, Idaho or California. All those countries have some advantages that we do not have, but we also have advantages that they do not have. John S. Wolfe: When I was pulling and topping those turnips, I thought there must be a thousand bushels, but when I sold them there were only two hundred seventy-two. We thank our customers for their patronage. Mrs. J.E. Weno, Windsor, Mo.: I think too much of the news I receive to let one subscription go by. Am enjoying very good health at present.

Just like spring with the roses in bloom.

Miss Mattie Scott: I am going to stay in this town until they drive me out. E.L. Gray: Forty years ago next January I began to sell goods in Jewell City and one of the greatest things I have to be thankful for is the friends I have learned to love and respect in that time. W.A.

MUSEUM A collection of gun-makers tools and hand-made rifles have been received by H.T. Martin of the department of paleontology. "This collection is probably unmatched in the United States," said Mr. Martin. In this collection are four perfect muzzle loading rifles from four to five feet in length. These guns were all made by hand by Mr. J.S. (John Singley) Henninger of Jewell, Kansas. Mr. W.S. (Winfield Scott) Henninger has given this collection to the paleontology department. Mr. Martin of this department is gradually making a collection of old type rifles, revolvers, and shot guns which will be a valuable addition to the department. There is one remarkable weapon in the collection. It is a double-barreled rifle of over and under action. There are also three single barreled rifles. The stocks which are made of fine curly maple extend to the end of the barrel and are beautifully inlaid with German silver. The inlaid work on the stock of the double barrel gun pictures a hunting story. Figures of me and animals were wrought from German silver and laid in the handle. Mr. J.S. Henninger made these guns in the early seventies when buffalo hunting was in its prime. "These rifles carry me back to my boyhood days when I read Moorish Pirate tales," said Mr. Martin. Among the tools are two old rifling machines that were used to make riflings in the gun. These tools are rare and to the future generation will be quite instructive as to the way that guns were made by hand. There were also some boring tools which were used to make the inside of the rifle barrel true. The collection includes cherry-reamers and round-reamers used to make bullet moulds, and a number of groove cutters. Groove cutters are rare and few people of today know what these were used for or what was required of that kind of work, said Martin. Carl Henninger, c'26 is the son of Mr. W.S. Henninger of Jewell, Kansas. - University Kansan. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Classification: biography Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.kansas.counties.jewell/1219/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Jewell County REPUBLICAN Sayings OCT 1923 Mrs. Frank Kemmerer: Jewell county women do most of the work with the poultry, so they feel as though they had some money to spend any way they want to. W.G. McIntyre: I was in camp with Buffalo Bill for six months. Jerry Kane: I heard R.L. McDaniel say he would like to see Bob White elected to some state office, if he would accept it. And maybe others would. Lloyd Musser: Someone ran into our flock of turkeys on the day of the fall festival last year and killed five of them. Roy Howland: I am going to put out a hundred acres of wheat. A fellow has got to just keep hitting it. Chug Dawdy: I drove into the field for a jag of cane fodder yesterday. The ground was so soft, I came near never getting out. Mrs. Frank Kemmerer: Our little eight-year-old girl is the only pupil in the Brewer district, so we bring her to the Jewell grade school. Mrs. Birt Saint: I told Birt we'd have our phone taken out before we'd do without the Republican. Simon Nees: I'm back on the old Harwood place where the cyclone blew me away one time. John Wolfe: I have already sold thirty bushels of those turnips. C.W. Medcalf: A good deal of volunteer wheat will be left, but it isn't one time in ten that volunteer makes a crop. It's too thick in some places and two thin in others. Bob Abram: The $15 a month our cows bring us comes in right handy. The Jersey is the best dairy cow I ever tried. R.L. McDaniel: I'll buy some dairy cows if they are purebred. Then their calves will be valuable whether they are bulls or heifers; but I don't want to buy any grades. Walter Collie: I had some corn on new ground this year that made 60 bushels per acre. That's one thing that's the matter with us. We are letting our soil run down. John Kemmerer: It is all right for a man to buy pure bred cows, provided he is a cow man. Guy Burger: I have 45 head of cattle. I think I'll see what the corn market does before I buy any more. Henry White: California is the easiest place to spend money I ever saw. Nine-tenths of the state isn't worth five cents an acre. Dan McCarthy: I believe Jewell county is the cleanest of booze of any county in the state. In fact I believe the county is now about dry. And it is going to be kept that way. Mrs. John Johnson: I've got to the place where I don't want a big house. Agent Hubbartt: I don't know anything scandalous. Frank Cross: I raised a hundred head of pure bred white shoats this year. I wouldn't raise any other kind. E.A. Gildner: Mrs. Gildner and I will probably spend the winter in California or Florida. W.H. Cheney: Some of us did a lot of work to make the camp ground comfortable, but some boys pulled the stovepipe apart, broke the wash bowl and did other devilment. There seems to be a few boys of that stripe in every community. Mrs. O.C. Burke: I always sell everything I advertise in the Republican. R.L. Daniel: I've had my pure bred Guernsey cow two or three years, and I think she is worth any three cows I ever had. Henry White: Will you change my statement that nine-tenths of California isn't worth 5 cents an acre to four-fifths. I like to live there if I had plenty of income. The folks out there treated me fine and I had a good time. Mrs. L.B. McDaniel: I have 70 turkeys and they roost all over the farm. John Sanders: This is the eighth year I have been janitor of the First National Bank. Ole Hanson: The volunteer wheat is making the finest kind of pasture. I always figure that money spent on barns and sheds comes back in saving of feed. Mrs. Chas. Shott: A house of gold won't do you any good if you don't have health. Mrs. Nellie Berry: Now don't go and put that in the paper. Ole Hanson: Wherever you see a man who depends mainly on one crop you see a busted farmer. D.B. Jenkins: It takes too much corn to feed hogs, so we raise chickens. We hatched 85,000 this year. Art White: We like Jewell and we like the Jewell folks and we have done a nice business here and it's a good business center. There is just one thing that causes us to move. We have no good connections with our other stores. When we buy in mill lot we cannot make the distribution to Jewell as we have no north and south connection. By moving to Lyons all our stores will be in close connection. Mrs. Fred Hoffhines: Fred is desperately afraid his hand is going to get well enough to do the milking.

Ferd Zipse: I like Colorado, but it is there as everywhere else, a man must expect to work for all he gets. Dallas Abram: The only way to break a mule is work him. Jerry Kane: Bob White's letters alone are worth the price of the Republican to any farmer. Lige Smith: When there is a good crop in this country we live and when there isn't we live anyway, so what's the difference. Mrs. C.M. Davis: The first dollar and a half I get that I don't have to have for something else, I'm going to subscribe for my good old home paper, the Burr Oak Herald. Mrs. Chug Dawdy: Boys would never go to bed and never get up if somebody didn't keep after them. J. Jacobson: I never lost money feeding cattle, but there have been times when I only broke even. J. Jacobson: A man on a farm is sure to accumulate something if it is nothing but a yard full of old machinery. E.E. Wilson: If it wasn't for chickens and cows I'd starve to death. George Eychner: Next year I am going to have seven cows. Milt Betts: I've got five acres of voluntary bluegrass on my place and it is right where I didn't want it. C.W. Medcalf: This country will come back. In two or three years this land that now goes begging will be in demand at a higher price. George Treffer: We killed five Rattlers while putting up prairie hay last Saturday. John Flinn: Eight times out of ten it's the early corn that counts. Lewis Worick: I'd like to farm if I didn't have to do chores. H.M. Wheeler: President Coolidge and I are the only great me who never owned an automobile. Art Lichty: That 4-inch rain dug seven bushels of potatoes for me and washed them. H.A. Manker: We didn't raise any crops around Wichita this year. Three things worked against us. In the spring the floods ruined the bottoms. Then in the summer the drouth got the uplands, and a big bank failure got the money. No they didn't catch me. All I had in the bank was an overdraft. Ben Williamson: We had the biggest rain down in Prairie I ever saw there, last Monday night. Five inches fell at my place and you should see how it washed things. It washed all the dirt away from the culverts, but left the road as hard as rock. It took 16 shocks of George Linns' cane, sweeping the ground clean. Dr. Kinnamon: Vaccination for colds may do good, but if a disease itself does not cause immunity, I don't think we can bank very much on vaccination. Some are reporting good results, however.
