That is the same person. Susie Brown Bigham is his older sister. So, she would also be in your Newton line. I don't have her DOB available right now.

I should have made myself clear. I have Newton info on living persons and a connection for going further back than Robert Henry Newton b. 1818 as we are participating in the NEWTON DNA project. Anyone else interested in the Newton line of Robert who lived in Atchison and Wyandotte counties from 1857 on is welcome to contact me for more information.

In the 1950's and 1960's, my grandfather owned a farm in Bonner Springs. His name was Carl Rice. We lived in KCK and I remember driving out Parallel to get there. It was located on a highway and there was a railroad siding with a bridge and an abandoned box car on the far edge of the property away from the road. It was 640 acres (a section). There was a very large 3-story white house (no one ever lived there), along with a tenant farmer's house. (Their names were Jerry and Yvo.) In addition, there was a large barn, a smaller barn, an equipment shed, storm cellar entrance, and perhaps other outbuildings. My grandfather dammed a creek and created two lakes, one of which was on the right side of the road leading to the house. The other was off to the left somewhere. I remember a creek that may have been called Wolf Creek. Supposedly the house had been a drinking establishment (speakeasy?) called the White House. The living room had a raised stage-like area on one side. When my family did some remodeling, a gun was found sealed up inside a wall. The large barn (according to my mother) was a tobacco barn. You could raise corregated metal flaps to allow air to circulate to dry the tobacco. The farm was hit by tornadoes two years in a row, after which my grandfather sold it. I don't remember the date. If anyone knows anything about the location, history, present use, I would be most appreciative.

Wow! Diane, do you have any pictures or anything else from the reunion? I'd love to have anything with Susie Brown Bigham (my great aunt) or Wash Brown. Thanks! And both Susie and Wash have passed away since. Wash in 1998 and Susie awhile later, I can't recall for sure when. Lara Blake Bors Asst.

L. Elizabeth Strohmeyer Services for L. Elizabeth Strohmeyer, 88, Port Angeles, Washington, will be at 10AM Friday at the White Church Christian Church, Kansas City, Kansas. Burial will be in St. Patrick's Cemetery. Friends may call at the Porter Funeral Home from 6 to 8 PM Thursday. Memorials may be made to White Church Christian Church. Mrs. Strohmeyer died Friday Oct. 6, 1995 at her home. She was born in White Church, Kansas which later became part of Kansas City, Kansas. She lived in the city for 85 years before moving to Part Angeles in 1993. She was a former school teacher in western Wyandotte County and was a lifelong member of the White Church Christian Church and its Christian Women's Fellowship. She was preceded in death by husband, Henry John Strohmeyer. Surviving are two sons, Robert Strohmeyer, Port Angeles, Washington, and Francis Strohmeyer, San Rafael, California; three daughters Carol Strohmeyer, Port Angeles Washington, Marilyn Griggs of Orange, California; and Mary Ann Strohmeyer of Leavenworth, Kansas. Three sisters Grace Virginia Campbell, St. Petersburg, Florida; Helen Wood Burton and Mary K. Wood both of Kansas City, Missouri. She has 10 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren. ***Don't know if this obit was cut from the Kansas City Star or the Kansas City Kansan. It is one of many that Herbert Treff cut out and kept in a book . Elizabeth attended Piper High School and graduated in the class of 1924. Her family must have moved to the Piper area which was just a couple miles west of White Church or should would have attended Washington Rural High School. White Church did not have a high school.

The Waldron family was large. With at least two families in the Piper area in the 1920's. One family resided near the county line in the Victory Junction area and they attended Brauer School. Brauer was a school district that serviced children from both Wyandotte and Leavenworth counties back then. I believe it was once Coffey school (as per a 1860 map of the area) The first Brauer school house burned. The second was moved east of it's orginal site by about 3 acres and is now used as a home. The third is still standing and belongs to Wyandotte Christian Church at 136th and Leavenworth Road. Another Waldron family resided nearer to Wolcott. One family settled on the other side of the river directly across from Wolcott hence the town of Waldron and Waldron Rd. of that area. The Brauers lived in the area now referred to as Victory Junction. They were very good friends of the Treff's. The Coleman family moved south to Johnson county and are the family that owns and operates Coleman implements just south of the river.

The following is a complete list of those that Evelyn Treff Barker was trying to contact in regards to the 1924 50th class reunion held in 1974. It was a picnic held at Wyandotte County Lake, Shelter House D, June 1, 1974. I will also include her notations. Not all of these people attended the reunion.

If researching this name check with St. Martins Lutheran Church as this family help found that church. Pete Younghans/Yunghans family still in Piper area also help found St. Martin Lutheran church. Harold Miller still resides in Piper as does his brother Howard. Barker, Treff, McMahon, DeLaney all related to my lines of research. Bettis, Burns, Scott, Jacks, Knoche still have family members in the area.

In 1974, the 1924 Class of Piper High School hosted a fifty year reunion and invited all classes from 1920 to 1929.

This cemetery is located at 105th and Leavenworth Road. It is a very old cemetery and I am sure that the Wyandotte County historical society also has a complete list. I made this list years ago when I visited the cemetery. In the 1970's it was referred to as the Jaggard/Jaccard Ingram cemetery. The official name is Prairie Cemetery. To the best of my knowledge the last person buried there was in the 1940's, but I could be in error. Most markers are in pretty bad shape. I used baby powder and a 1" paint brush for dusting in order to read markers. There were a lot of leaves on the ground and I had to move carefully as to not disturb plots. I will make some notations at the end of the listing for those I know anything about. Moses E.

Not Lara, but I can tell you it does get very loud and noisy and crowded with folks during the races. My husband and son attend. I usually try to get out of town on those weekends or stay home and mow. It has been a real adjustment for a lot of us, but all in the name of progress. The western corridor as this area of KCK is referred to now has seen a lot of ground gobbled up and a few historical structures demolished. I am glad some of us have taken the time to archive what we can. Just hope, as all do that economy picks up so that all this progress wasn't in vain.

My grandpa never really mentioned a downtown. He did talk about them going to town one time and the "hired lady" barricaded herself in their house because she heard their parrot talking outside -- he talked in different voices, she thought someone was after her =-) So, I am assuming that they didn't really have a downtown, but I could be mistaken. While my roots are in Wyandotte, I have never lived in Wyandotte. My paternal grandfather insisted that my parents move to Johnson County to try to gain more clients for their firm. Now, I'm in Finney County on the other side of the state. So, I can't answer your question about how loud it gets.
