John, This just couldn't have come at a better time for me!!!! The article about 'Peter Duprey' has really lifted my spirits! He is my 3rd great grandfather and I've been trying to find out who his parents are and when exactly he died. Although this doesn't tell me those things, it does give me more knowledge of his life and helps me to know him a little better!! Peter worked for the American Fur Company at one time. I have also been told that Peter was a translator (between the whites and the Indians) in the courts there. It looks like he may have been doing the translating for his friend 'Judge Churchill'. I would just love to know if Judge Churchill left his papers behind and if they are being kept somewhere?!! Maybe someone reading this would know? Thank you!!!

The following story appeared in the Kansas City Times, Tues, Jan 22, 1918 TEN YEARS FOR BOY ROBBERS "The ambitions of Ralph Fowler, 19 years old and Richard Robinson, 20, ended yesterday in the criminal court when Judge Ralph S. Latshaw sentenced each of the youths to ten years in the penitentiary after they had pleaded guilty to robbing six homes in Kansas City. Following their arrest the boys told the police they Robbed to get money in order they might make a "Showing" with the girls. Since Dec. 19, Fowler and Robinson obtained jewelry and clothing valued at $1,800 through their operations. Among the homes Fowler admitted he robbed was that of his uncle James S. Lapsley, former police commissioner. The boys said they formerly were employed in a bank." Hypothesis to proof ?????? A little more background... This Richard Robinson is thought to be Richard Ralph Robinson born 3 Mar 1897 Laclede Co, MO to Edith May Goldsberry Robinson (b Iowa). She divorced and remarried and three of her sons, Roy, Jesse and Richard, lived with her and her 2nd Husband,a Barber( 1910 census also listed her as born in Iowa). Based on data from various searches in the 1930's to 1950's... all three boys had apparently learned the barbering trade from their step-father and were barbers in the Oregon and/or California plus, all three died there. Roy and Jesse had registered for the draft and served in the army at the end of WW I. It was noted that Richard should have also had a draft registration card and served... but why didn't he ??. When the indexed 1920 census appeared... a search was made and a Richard Robinson, whose mother was born in Iowa, was found serving in the MO State Penitentiary. A search was then made for police and court records and nothing was found (older police and court records were destroyed). The MO Archives did locate the Corrections Dept. ledger entry on Richard Robinson, 21 yr. and he was incarcerated 21 Jan 1918 and released 3 July 1920. A volunteer searcher found the above newspaper story !!! Fowler and Robinson must have been caught sometime between 19 Dec 1917 and 21 Jan 1918.... there should be stories of the arrests in all local newspapers (Since the ex commissioner was robbed ) and each one could provide different information. Do they appear in the City Directory and working in a bank? Is there any other sources being overlooked that might provide the needed proof? Is there anyone on the KC-L that would consider digging for the arrests in different newspapers an! d the directories ?? Thank you for viewing this somewhat lengthy story..... it is an excellent case history for beginners to ponder.. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you prefer to contact me directly, please do...

The Swede Lutheran church will hold services to-morrow at the brick school house, Kansas City, Kan., at 10:30 a.m. There are now at present in course of erection, in Kansas City, Kan., thirteen houses, and more are to be commenced next week. The split-log culvert is in a bad condition, and something should be done to prevent that part of the road being entirely washed away. The Kansas City, Kan., young folks intend organizing a literary club. This is an excellent idea, and will help to while away many an evening. A small fishing smack, something after the fashion of a Noah's ark, arrived at Wyandott, Thursday, and anchored north of the old toll-bridge. Miss Lizzie COLLINS, who commenced school at Muncie last Monday for the spring term, has now the largest attendance ever known in that district. A. H. DEPPE has now the frame of his house up, and proposes to move in on Wednesday. This will make him put the building up in about five days. The 4 p.m. Missouri Pacific train, going West, yesterday killed a fine calf, just south of the new bridge. We failed to find out who owned the animal. Rev. L. W. SPRING, of Lawrence, will preach to-morrow in the Congregational church, Rev. R. D. TUNNELL going to Lawrence and officiating in the place of the above gentlemen. A well known Kansas City gent was arrested yesterday by Marshal COLLINS for riding over the sidewalk, but he swearing the animal being restive and beyond his control, rushed on the walk, Judge CABLE dismissed the case. Messrs. SKELTON & STARND of Leavenworth, yesterday had the land staked off on a portion of the Walker and Ferry tract for the purpose of erecting thereon a first-class saw mill. They will ultimately erect a large flouring mill and grain elevator. Peter DUPREY, the oldest settler in Wyandott county, has for the past few days been visiting his friend, Judge CHURCHILL. He tells a great deal of his hardships of frontier life, and remembers the time when he killed buffalo where Cook's building now stands, and shows several scars received by the Indians while plying his vocation. Nearly forty years ago he took up a plot of land belonging to the government, situated where the Union depot now stands; he also, at the same time, settled on some land situated where the Catholic church now stands, in Kansas City. We hear he intends to make an effort to reclaim some of his property, he never having deeded any of it away. He left yesterday afternoon for Leavenworth, and thence to his home at Eldorado, Butler county, Kan., and although eighty years of age, is as hale and hearty as many of our younger men. ROSEDALE. Everybody is planting and improving their gardens. Garden sass will be abundant. Old settlers say the prospect for a good fruit crop has never been better in the memory of the oldest inhabitant. D. S. BENTLEY is chuck full of business. In connection with his city business, he is enjoying a splendid country trade. Mr. MATHIAS, superintendent of the rolling mills, says that there are over ten thousand pounds of old iron at the mills at this time. Contracts for the erection of thirty or more small residence buildings will be let within the next ten days. All or nearly all of them will be occupied by attaches of the rolling mills. Yesterday the rolling mills, after being idle for some days, started up, and now the boys have work on hand. There will be no more time for piscatorial pastimes on the banks of Turkey creek. The prospects for the erection of a car-wheel factory in close proximity to the rolling mills are quite encouraging. Messrs. GREEN & Co., of St. Louis, will visit Rosedale soon for the purpose of making preliminary arrangements for the enterprise. Dr. D. Y. CHALFANT, of Kansas City, passed through Rosedale yesterday, toting a pick, shovel and an old half-bushel basket. No one knew where he was going or what he designed doing. The prevailing opinion seemed to be that he was prospecting for mushrooms. ====================================================== (I have no connection with any of these families but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ======================================================

"The Kansas City Evening Mail" (Missouri) Thursday, September 23, 1875 A BADLY BROKEN LEG. Last evening Mr. George LEACH, an upholster in the furniture establishment of Abernathy, North & Orrison, met with a very painful accident. Two men got into a fight on Main street, between Fifth and Missouri avenue, and Mr. LEACH attempted to separate them. As he was doing this, one of the combatants seized him and threw him down a pair of stairs leading into a basement, and in the fall LEACH's right leg was broken in two places below the knee. He was carried to the Wedell house, and medical attendance was promptly called. He was quite cheerful this morning, and laughed and joked with friends who called. When asked if he suffered much pain, he said he did but crying wouldn't help it any; if it would, he declared, he would bellow the roof off the house. LEACH will let the boys fight it out hereafter. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ======================================================

"The Kansas City Times" (Missouri) Saturday, April 17, 1915 The persons who evening before last saw deputy-marshal John HOPE rushing into first one grocery and then another, with a bundle of flannel in his arms and of which he peremptorily demanded of the clerks "Let me know the weight of that at once, sir," were as much surprised at his actions, as were the prisoners in the jail under his charge, who twice since Tuesday evening have got double rations, each time within an hour of their disposal of their regular meal. John, however, has cooled down enough now to be rational and give an explanation of his conduct. He says "It's a whopper of a boy that kicks the beam at 12 1/2 pounds." At first he said 15, but he couldn't make folks believe that statement, and so now is exuberant over his twelve pounds of living humanity which, with its mother, is doing well. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ======================================================
