A report upon the workhouse quarry was made to the pardon and parole board by Cornelius MURPHY, who is in charge of the quarry. He advocated the building of sheds to shelter the workers in cold weather and giving the prisoners who work there canton flannel underwear. Mr. MURPHY further suggested that the price of breaking a cubic yard of rock be raised from sixty cents to eighty cents. This would enable the prisoners to save a little money. The commercial price of a yard of broken rock, according to Mr. MURPHY, is ninety cents. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ====================================================== neirbo10 Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I know that my husband needed a birth certificate to prove who he was when he filed for SS. It is a big problem for all adoptees. He was stolen so that was also a problem and his name and birth date had been changed. Missourinet Your source for Missouri News and Sports Adoptees seek birth certificates by Bob Priddy on January 26, 2010 in Human Interest, Legislature, Miscellaneous Some Missourians can prove they were adopted. But they cannot prove they were born. They're asking the legislature to let them get that proof Access by adoptees to their birth certificates is a civil rights issue for those backing a change in Missouri law. Several of them support bills in the House and Senate letting adults see those certificates and suggesting that mothers who give up children for adoption fill out medical history forms that can be given adoptees later. Ina Lewis of Blue Springs, who was born to a 16-year old girl at the Willows Maternity Home in Kansas City, says access to a birth certificate is "nothing more than a basic civil right." She tells a Senate Committee, "The government.should never be in the business of stealing anyone's identity. How would you like to be told because of your birth history you do not have the right to know your heritage?" She says most adult adoptees are not looking for a mommy or a daddy; their adoptive parents have filled those roles. Lewis says they are looking for their heritage, their genetic identity and their roots. Another person has told the committee the law makes adotees into second class citizens because of something they had nothing to do with and had no say in the decision. The Bill is SB594. Two bills have been introduced in the House: HB1237 and HB1665. Note: Technical problems in the Senate committee hearing room where testimony on SB594 was taken resulted in varying levels of volumes. The beginning of testimony by May Helen Allen of Columbia is briefly distorted about 13:00 into the hearing.

"The Kansas Daily City Times" (Missouri) Monday, August 23, 1880 LOST BRACELETS. A few days ago Mrs. Ed THOMAS took a pair of fine gold bracelets off while making some change in her wearing apparel, and laid them down on her dressing table, without thinking anything more of the matter she left the room to attend to some other duties, and on returning shortly afterwards found the bracelets had disappeared, and although search has been made in all directions they have not as yet been found. The window being open would have made it an easy matter for some passing tramp to have appropriated them, which is most likely what has become of the articles. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ====================================================== neirbo10

"The Kansas Daily City Times" (Missouri) Wednesday, November 17, 1880 A FAITHFUL HORSE. On Monday night Dr. BALDWIN went over to Kansas City {Missouri} with his two little girls to pay a visit to Dr. KIMBERLIN. He tied his horse to a post outside of the doctor's office. Shortly afterwards he came out to see if all was right, and was surprised to find neither horse nor buggy there, all that remained being a small portion of the hitching strap. He at once gave information at the police headquarters, and search was made without success. He took his family home, and commenced the search himself, and when passing through West Kansas found the rig standing, safe and sound, at his old residence on Liberty near Fourteenth street. The animal evidently had broken the hitching strap and piloted the buggy safely from Ninth and Main streets to West Kansas. It is needless to say how delighted Dr. BALDWIN was to recover his property unharmed. He wishes thanks returned to Capt. MALLOY and his men for the trouble they took in looking up the matter. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ====================================================== neirbo10

"The Kansas City Times" (Missouri) Thursday, February 3, 1910 SHE'S THE SWEET GIRL THIEF. The police detectives in Kansas City, Kas., are searching for a young woman about 20 years old, with pink cheeks and pretty blue eyes. She wore a stylish turban hat and a gray muffler yesterday afternoon when she knocked at the front door of the home of W. C. OTTS at 228 North Mill Street in that city. "Is Miss Lizzie EVANS in?" she asked Mrs. OTTS. Miss EVANS, with her father, William EVANS, and Miss Annie WILT, a friend, occupy apartments on the second floor of the house. "No, she's at the store," Mrs. OTTS replied. "Oh, well, I'll just run up to her room," the young woman said cheerily as she entered the hall and ran up the stairway. While going through the apartments she pushed open the door of the room in which Mr. EVANS lay sleeping. The noise awakened him. "Is Lizzie at home, Mr. EVANS?" she asked sweetly. "No, she is down at the store," Mr. EVANS replied. Then the uninvited visitor asked for Mrs. EVANS, who is dead. But she was not disturbed in the least when the fact was explained to her. "Oh, I forgot. I will just run down and see Lizzie then." And the girl departed. Miss Lizzie EVANS and Miss Annie WILT, when they went home last night from their places of employment, were told of the visit of the young woman. "I can't think who she may be," Miss EVANS said. Half an hour later Miss EVANS couldn't find one of her best shirt waists. Then she discovered some of her skirts were missing from their accustomed place and that her supply of face powder, perfumes and other articles had disappeared. Miss EVANS told the police. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ====================================================== neirbo10

LAPP. This is a story of a physician, a bicycle and a dog, of how the physician was trying to get home ahead of a rain storm, how his wheel was rendering him excellent service and how the dog, also trying to get home, caused a jamboree that smashed the wheel, skinned the doctor and disposed of the dog in some manner unknown. The doctor in the case is Dr. John G. LAPP, assistant city physician. The bicycle is his own and the dog is unknown. Sunday night Dr. LAPP was racing home on his bicycle to avoid the approaching storm. He lives at Twelfth and Forest and was at Eighteenth and Forest when the first big drops pattered on his nose. He crowded on more steam and whizzed along the deserted thoroughfare like mad. The villain in the shape of an immense dog --- Dr. LAPP's description makes him four feet high --- was trying to cross Forest avenue. As the rear wheel of the bicycle passed him the dog, either out of malice or unintentionally, stuck his nose between the flying spokes, and for three minutes there was a combination of man, dog and bicycle in the air that gave the rain storm an appearance of a cyclone. Finally, Dr. LAPP skimmed lightly over the asphalt pavement on his hands and knees for a block or so, and after turning three back somersaults and standing on his nose, settled back into his usual quiet life. In the meantime the dog had gone, either straight up or elsewhere and patches of dog hair were all that remained to tell the tale. A good Samaritan in the form of a coal dealer helped patch up the doctor temporarily, but the assistant city physician moves about rather gingerly now and displays two knuckles that look more like deviled ham than anything else. ====================================================== Additional information from Dr. LAPP's death certificate: Born: 27 February 1870 - Chalfont, PA Died: 23 September 1956 - Kansas City, MO (age 86) Father: Henry LAPP Mother: Lydia GEHMAN ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ====================================================== neirbo10 Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
