I did see a reference to Lorenzo Bird on a database for Leavenworth County History Name Index. Didn't show anything other than a page number. If you are not familiar with the area, Leavenworth is a stones throw across the river from Platte County, MO. Well, when I was younger it was a stones throw. Now it is a boat ride. Anyway, here is the description of the database. I have actually been trying to buy this particular book. Description: The History of Leavenworth County, Kansas was published in 1921 as a seminal reference work. It contains, in addition to an historical narrative about the county as a whole, a history of many early businesses and families in the area. Also of importance is a list of men who served in the Spanish-American War and World War I. This database is a name index to persons appearing in this work. It contains over 11,400 names and includes the page number in the history where the person's name appears. Chuck -- The older I get, the better I was!
