HINAMON died in 1939. I know that he is buried in Security Association Cemetery, Topeka Kansas. His head stone there simply gives the year of his death, but I don't know where to turn to learn of his month and day of death. I believe that he died either in or near Topeka. His granddaughter believes that he was involved in mining and that the death could have been caused by asthma. Ultimatly, I am hoping that a local paper published a death notice or obituary that I can find a copy of. I know from Ohio records that he was born in March of 1866. His family moved to Missouri when he was a child, but from there things get sketchy. Any help is GREATLY appreciated. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Mrs. Geneva Lockhart, who left Sabetha about two years ago to live with her daughter, Mrs. Viola Clelland, of Goff, received a telegram last Thursday telling of the death of her daughter, Mrs. Harriet Gale at Alhambra, Calif. Mrs. Gale has been in ill health for the past three years. She suffered a stroke December 2 of last year and never recovered. Before her marriage, Mrs. Gale was a successful school teacher. She was born and reared in the Woodlawn vicinity where she attended the rural school. She attended Sabetha high school and was graduated with the class of 1906. While she attended high school she lived in the home of Dr. and Mrs. W .L. Carlyle, who have been her good personal friends since. During her illness and her residence in California the past eight years they have given her every possible assistance. They found a home for her son, Lockhart, in a Methodist school where he is being housed and educated. Clara Pohl Ogden, a former school mate and other former Sabethans have been interested in Mrs. Gale and did all they could for her. Mrs. Gale was a member of the Methodist church and Sunday school when she lived in Sabetha, and was faithful in attendance and service. She taught school in Oklahoma and in Nemaha County and was highly regarded as an instructor. She was an excellent seamstress and did beautiful handwork. Mrs. Gale was devoted to her son and her and her chief interest during her illness was that he be properly cared for. Besides her son, Lockart Gale, who is fifteen years old, Mrs. Gale is survived by her mother, Mrs. Geneva Lockhart; three sisters, Mrs. Viola Clelland of Goff, Mrs. Eleanor Wolfe, Mrs. Margaret Marshall of Tulsa, Okla.; four brothers, Harry Lockhart of Colorado Springs; Bert Lockhart of Morrill, Ben Lockhart of Goff and Alva Lockhart of Wamego. It is understood that funeral services and burial were in Alhambra. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

For the fourth time in a few weeks the grim reaper has visited this community and taken a middle aged citizen actively engaged in their life's work. This time it was Walter Clelland, who had been a cheerful, willing cog in community life for half a century. Few men had the extensive friends of this good man, and a keen sorrow is felt by everyone. Mr. Clelland had been in his usual good health. During the day he had mentioned a slight pain in his head, but neither he nor his family gave it serious thought. He attended to his usual chores in the evening, and later went to the lot to shut up a cow that the Earl Brammer truck was to pick up and take to the market. On returning to the house he was resting on the davenport in the front room when stricken. Before Mrs. Clelland and little daughter could summon aid he had passed away. As word of his death was conveyed to relatives and friends it seemed hard to believe. Walter Clelland was born January 10, 1876 near Craig, Mo., and departed this life at the home near Goff, Kansas, on April 5, 1931 at the age of 55 years, 2 months and 25 days. He was the fifth child of Enoch and Mary (Blankenbaker) Clelland, and at the age of five years came to Nemaha county with his parents and family, in 1881. His boyhood days were spent on the old Clelland farm, northwest of Goff, where he attended the district school, and with his brothers and sisters helped the widowed m other on the farm. The father died when the children were small. At the age of 23 he enlisted in Company F of the 19th U. S. Infantry, serving three years. He was in the Spanish-American War and saw service in the Philippine Islands. In the fall of 1903 he received an honorable discharge and returned home. In June, 1904, he was married to Miss Viola Lockhart of Goff, Kansas. Five children were born to them, Vernon, Mary, and Eleanor Maxine of the home; Helen and Mrs. Erma Swift of Tulsa, Oklahoma; all of whom, with their mother, survive. He also leaves one sister, Lucy Amphlett of Independence, Kansas; three brothers, Charles of Canyon City, Colo.; Elzy and Calvin of this community; many nephews, nieces, cousins, other relatives, and a host of friends to revere the memory of a true and faithful husband, father, brother, and friend. Walter Clelland was an active, friendly man and assumed full citizenship duty to his community as well as to his home. He was converted to the Christian faith and baptized in 1914. He was an ardent member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and a helpful worker in Goff Lodge No. 377, as well as in the district, where he was vice-president of the Round-Up. He read much and was firm and outspoken in his convictions on public questions. For several years he has been director of Goff Rural High School district and rendered an honest, conscientious service. He was preceded in death by his parents, one sister, Virginia Talley; two brothers, William and Andrew. The funeral services at the home east of Goff Tuesday afternoon were attended by one of the largest number of friends of any ever held in this community. Rev. Robert Thompson, assisted by Rev. Hershel Glenn, both of Belleville, were in charge of the services and paid fine tribute to the deceased. A boys' quartet, William and James Collins, Harvard Goodrich and LeRoy Sparling, with Mrs. Goodrich, pianist, gave several beautiful and appropriate songs. Pallbearers were fellow Odd Fellows, E. F. Rosel, C. F. Shubert, Cameron Nickel, Noah Cooley, Isaac Camp, and C. G. Sourk. Honorary pallbearers were Spanish-American War veterans C. B. Nickel of Goff, S. E. Myers of Bancroft, W. G. Hedges of Muscotah, B. F. Staubus, J. H. Coleman, W. C. Myrick and T. R. Lyons of Sabetha. Full military honors at the grace were in charge of Goff Heald-Thieme Post of the American Legion. A firing squad, under the command of Ray Riley gave customary three-round salute over the grave. The always impre! ssive "taps" were never more beautiful and awe-inspiring than on this bright, warm afternoon, with the large number of relatives and friends grouped about the open grave, covered with a wealth of colorful flowers. How fitting, comforting, peaceful a close was this last eulogy, as the clear notes of the bugle with soft echo marked the last tribute to a man that had served in peace and war to the best of his ability.

The Historic Atlas of Kansas Counties (Zone 1-12) Atlas is a complete set of 1887 Kansas county maps. Each of the 12 Zones consists of a series of 8-10 bordering county maps making up all 106 Kansas counties. Each Zone Atlas contains high resolution scanned images of vintage 19th century county and city maps that are presented in Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF). Individual Zone CD's are available as well. In addition to all 106 Kansas county maps, there are nearly 800 city and village maps on this CD. City maps and plans are often more detailed and include the names of many original property owners, businesses, municipal buildings, etc. Please note: some small city and village map plans include street and lot detail only. Maps include the following 19th century features: * roads, railroads and canals * cities, towns and villages * post offices and government sites * one-room schoolhouses, churches and cemeteries * rivers, streams and ferries * racetracks, fairgrounds and picnic groves * industrial sites, furnaces and mills * early homesteads and farms - and much more The Historic Atlas of Kansas Counties may be an invaluable aid to Genealogists, Historians and researchers in search of 19th century Kansas places and place names. These early maps often contain many places that no longer exist or that have been obscured over time; the location of property owners, businesses, churches and cemeteries may assist genealogical researchers interested in Kansas history. The Adobe Acrobat Reader for MS Windows is needed to view, zoom, pan and print from the PDF map images contained in this atlas, and is included free on each CD. No other software is necessary.
