Hi Doris et. al. Stump listers, I posted the info from (my Kansas Kin list). Here it is, again, with the remarks I have had. Please contact Susie directly for further information. I have nothing else at this time, and have not researched any of this to match my Stumps.

To: KTompk7744@aol.com CC: "Ballard, Peggie Knoblauch" <aenmedia@home.com> No, Jan, I don't. I simply posted it as stated from another list I am on. Here is the e-mail of the gal who sent it. If you find out anything, please post to the STUMP list for all to see. Check the ages and dates mentioned in the posting to determine if he could be your JR, or another relative.

Yesterday evening I was reading through my grandmother's scrap book (she saved alot of obituaries and other interesting events) when I came across information about Stump/Neighbors. Here is the info I have garnered regarding this group: Levi Stump was married to a Mahalia Rush--they resided in Indiana when they left for Kansas in September 1866 by covered wagon and settled in the Spring River Valley east of Columbus in 1867. In 1868/9 Levi and his father (no name mentioned) erected and operated a corn mill on Spring River. The mill was destroyed by flood in 1875. Mahalia Rush Stump died 1869. Levi Stump died in 1873. When Levi died he left their children in the care of his brother, George: Arminda b. 18 June 1862 Shelby Co., Indiana; one small brother; and one sister. Arminda Stump married George R. Neighbors in 1896. They resided in Pittsburg, also on a farm near Crestline & in 1908 in Columbus. They had 4 children: Neville, Ruby, Myrtle and Minnie. Three daughters, Neville, Ruby and Myrtle preceded Arminda in death. (Myrtle and Minnie were twins--and Myrtle died Feb 1940) Minnie married Reverand Wm. J. Marshall--resided in Iowa and Colorado. Also considered as family--Will Vandament (my grandfather) who was raised by the Neighbors--and Belle Kapple. My grandfather's stories about the Neighbors is this: He "was boarded out to Uncle George and Matilda Neighbours when some 4 1/2 years old at $1.25 per week--this must have been in 1888. They were farm tennants of Belle Markum, the farm being the east half of the northeast of sec. 2 twp range 25, Cherokee Co., KS--a mile south of Lawton, KS, near Spring River--a quarter mile or so south of the mouth of Cow Creek. Maybe 1889 moved to Snyder place about a mile south of Waco School house--had aimed to start school here, maybe did only for a short while if at all. Moved to Stiles place in River bottom, quarter mile or so south across river from Markum place. Uncle George and Ed Altice--Ed being the step son of George's sister--Aunt Net having married Sylvester Altice. By the way Aunt had married the widower Levi Stump. Levi was the father of Arminda Stump Neighbours. Levi died leaving Aunt Net-Annetti-a forty acres of land which according to one story made her an attractive offering to Altice. While logging on this Stiles place Ed Altice wanted to use timber royal belong to landower Uncle George Stamp and as Uncle George Neighbour not hear to it--Ed poisoned "Baldy" a fine dapple grey horse belonging to Uncle George Neighbours. Adam Grim a neighbor purchased a rope for hanging Ed Altice and it was all Uncle George Neighbours couls do to keep them from hanging Ed Altice. Ed left for parts unknown and was not heard from." My grandfather left some other wonderful stories about the "chuckles of wagons--each one had a different sound. He mentions the Snyder place; an old scotch janitor by the name of Howatt--one of his sons was peg legged and became a rather famous petty thief. Another son Alex Howatt was afterward head of mine workers union District #14. Just thought I'd pass on some of the old timers words... Suzie
