Hi Scott A good cousin of mine gave me a copy of this story. The title is "They Tarred the Sexy Schoolmarm" written by Donald Flynn. The lady in question was referred to as Mary Chamberlain. Now I don't know if this is her real name or not. The setting was Shady Bend, Lincoln, Kansas. The name "Jay Fitzwater" is included and mentions that he was the restaurant man. Here is a short clip with some other Lincoln County names. .................... Everett C. CLARK, a miller and a capitalist, one of the richest men in Lincoln County, was there, and so was his brother, Sherell, an important merchant. There was Jay FITZWATER, the restaurant man, and Jim BOOSE, an engineer at the grist mill. And wealthy farmers Watson SCRANTON and John SCHMIDT, as well as A.N. SIMS, another rich miller. ..................... I don't know Scott if this is Marlin Fitzwater's uncle Jay or not but it adds to what already was a good tale of Lincoln history (or folklore). Good Luck, Mike Woody
