Marian Sarantha nee Stewart here in snowy WY, grateful member of John's terrific mail list. Thank you, John! Kate: I know Klamm Park well. Used to play tennis there during high school years at Wyandotte (graduated '46). Alma Klamm was my 4th grade teacher, and was she ever a stickler for correctness! (Hallmark of a good teacher, I presume.) She was a spinster but believe she was raising a nephew or grandson at the time who might have been Richard? That name has a familiar ring. My Stewart line came to Kansas before statehood, gr-grandfather Thomas George Stewart an official "pioneer" who established a farm in Princeton Twp, Franklin Co. His grandson, my father Walter L., was b. in Ottawa and moved first to Argentine (worked at Sinclair Refinery) then to KCK where I was born. My mother was a Fry from Argentine. That line originated in VA, moving first to KY then into MO, settling for a while around Weston and St. Joseph before moving to a farm in old Wyandott Twp. Henry W. Fry, my gr-gr grandfather, married Frances A. Young from Andrew Co, MO. Since moving from CA to WY 16-17 years ago I've made a real effort to visit cousins and other family members both in Lenexa, KS and in the Ottawa-Princeton area, always researching in court houses, libraries and varous other repositories. I read every line of every posting coming across this mail list, and thoroughly enjoy hearing everyone's stories. Marian Sarantha - WY P. S.: A friend in our town is a retired dentist who grew up in Holdrege. We drove through there once on a trip to KC and recall a lovely main street in that town. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kate & David Clabough" <dv121212@charter.net> To: <kswyando@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, January 06, 2009 3:22 PM Subject: Re: [Wyandotte County] Wyandotte County Mailing List > My (childhood) hometown is Holdrege, Nebraska, but I have been living in > Louisville, Tennessee since 1997. > > My Wyandotte County connection is through both my maternal and paternal > lines.

Marian:   You mentioned you graduated from Wyandotte High in '46.  I believe that may be the year my mother did also.  Do you remember a Leta Jean Carothers?   Jeff --- On Tue, 1/6/09, Marian Sarantha <marians@vcn.com> wrote: From: Marian Sarantha <marians@vcn.com> Subject: Re: [Wyandotte County] Wyandotte County Mailing List To: kswyando@rootsweb.com Date: Tuesday, January 6, 2009, 7:50 PM Marian Sarantha nee Stewart here in snowy WY, grateful member of John's terrific mail list.
