In November, 1897, was elected to the office of register of deeds of Wabaunsee county. After rendering the people efficient service for two years retired from office of his own volition and against the urgent wishes of his friends, considering his duty to his family and his own private business interests paramount to all other considerations, Though now a resi- dent of Riley county he will ever occupy a warm place in the hearts of the people of Wabaunsce county.

Cassidy, Lim- erick, P. R. Meyers, Green, and Miller for eight years, when he went into business for himself as proprietor of the City Meat Market, in which he has been ever since engaged-his business growing from an infant industry to a volume that would do credit to any city of much larger pretensions than Alma. By a strict attention to business methods and the needs of his customers Mr. Undorf has achieved that degree of success of which he is in every way deserving.
CHARLES B. HENDERSON
Was born September 29, 1865, at Peoria, Illinois. Came to Kansas with his parents in 1872, the family settling in Mission Creek town- ship.

Is one of the organizers and principal stockholders of the Wyoming Copper & Gold Mining Co., it being the purpose of the Company to develop their valuable mining properties, twelve miles south of Grand Encampment, Wyoming, the investment already promising fabulous returns to the stockholders. Equally promising are the prospective returns from investments made in the Arkansas lead and zinc fields, valuable timber lands and marble quarries constituting auxiliary features none the less desirable. The
303

firm of Henderson Bros. is also largely engaged in the cattle and grazing business, real estate, loans, abstracting and insurance. The subject of this sketch is a thorough going business man, who, by honest dealing and strict application to business methods has secured the key to the door of success, the opening of which only awaits his bidding.

Mr. Arndt owns an excellent farm of 500 acres, and in addition to mixed farming is largely engaged in the business of raising thoroughbred Poland Chinas, the demand for which indicates the wide reputation achieved by his fine hogs. Mr. Arndt is not a politician but has served the people of Garfield and Washington townships four years as clerk and and five years as town- ship trustee. Was a popular official, but his duties on the farm engross his entire attention, leaving no time to indulge in the thank- less and unprofitable game of politics.
MR. HEINRICH JOSEPH UNDORF (Dec'd)
Was born May 28, 1820, at Kommerscheid, Prussia. Came to Alma in October, 1878, from New York City, where he had lived many years, following the occupation of tailor from his boyhood days until his death, on December 17, 1901.

Weaver, the father, was a skilled physician and for several years postmaster at Wabaunsec-where, on Jannary 23, 1874, he died at the age of 74 years. -
On December 14, 1892, the subject of this notice was united in marriage to Miss Clara B. Chamberlain, to which union three children were born: Marguerite, Hall, and the baby-three months having passed in an unavailing search for a name pretty enough to tit the little one's personal appearance. Mr. Weaver served the people four years as clerk of the district court and several additional years as deputy. Was a capable official and as popular as efficient. Since November 1, 1899, has been engaged in the abstract business in Alma.
HENRY GRIMM
Was born June 16, 1831, in Weinsberg, Wurtemburg, Germany. Came to America in 1852 and five years later to Kansas, locating on the farm near Volland, where he now resides. Received excellent educational advantages, taking a college course at Meinfels, Germany. In 1857, was united in marriage to Miss Caroline Graaf, seven children being born to this union: Charles, Emma, Rosa, George, William, Edward, and Joseph. Mr. Grimm owns one of the largest farms in the county, there being 2,090 acres in the tract, 200 acres being in a high state of cultivation. The farm is stocked with 200 head of fine cattle, the place furnishing excellent pasturage for a much larger number. Though among the early settlers Mr. Grimm had no fear of the Indians. He manifested his friendship on so many occasions that a strong bond of mutual regard grew up between the pioneer settler and the sons of the forest. But on the plains Mr. Grimm didn't fare so well. (See page 119). Two gruesome souvenirs remind him of that life and death struggle at Platte Bridge in 1864. One arrow point passed entirely through his leg, the shaft protruding seven inches on either side. Another was buried three inches in his spine. But after weeks of suffering his health was partially restored. But though 38
EARLY HISTORY OF WABAUNSEE COUNTY, KAN. 305
years have gone by Mr. Grimm is constantly reminded of that savage onslaught of the Sioux Indians at Platte Bridge. Mr. Grimm is one of Wabaunsee county's most substantial citizens, who has proven by his works what can be accomplished by leading a life of industry, strict integrity, and a conscientious regard for the rights of his fellows.
WILLIAM TRUSLER
Was born October 10, 1853, in Sinclairville, Chautauqua county, New York. Came to Kansas in 1881, locating at Eskridge, where he has always been found doing business at the old stand. On September 25, 1883, was united in marriage to Miss Carrie M. Lown, two children being born to this union: Golden and Geraldine. Mr. Trusler has been engaged in the hardware business in Eskridge for 21 years and his success has been phenomenal. Besides being one of the thorough going, energetic business men of our neighboring city he has shown himself as generous and public spirited as he is far seeing and pro- gressive-his donation to the Wesleyan Methodist College being the best of proof that any statement tending to create a favorable impres- sion in Mr. Trusler's behalf cannot be overdrawn. Should the large stone building prove inadequate to the needs of the school in the near future neither Mr. Trusler nor his friends will have the least reason for regret. In proportion as the attendance shall increase in numbers just in that ratio will Mr. Trusler's wishes be gratified and the expectations of his friends be realized.
A. F. WADE
Was born October 29, 1843, at Kinsman, Trumbull county, Ohio. Received the benefits of an excellent educational training at James- town, Pennsylvania.

EARLY HISTORY OF WABAUNSEE COUNTY, KAN.
prettiest homes in Mission Creek township and enjoy it for the best of reasons-they know how they earned it-by tireless industry and hard knocks on the farm.

Mr. and Mrs. Hinshaw have four living children: L. M., Fred I., Mary A., and Everett B. Hinshaw. Since 1874, Mr. Hinshaw has lived on the farm, three miles northwest of Harveyville, but during the time has varied the monotony of farm work by the equally arduous duties of the school room, belonging to that class of teachers whose services are always in demand by school boards having at heart the true interests of the children under their immediate supervision.

MR. J. W. MOSSMAN (Dec'd)
Was born January 5, 1809, in Mercer county, Pennsylvania. Came to Kansas in 1857, settling on the claim he pre-empted and on which he lived until his death, on March 12, 1891.

Mrs. Mossman was born December 28, 1814, and died January 30, 1886. Mr. and Mrs. Mossman were well mated, in that they were alike generous and warm hearted; kind and considerate as to the rights and opinions of others, and ever willing to look on the bright side of life rather than render unpleasant their own surroundings or those of their friends with whom they daily came in contact.

Is bookkeeper and cashier at Trus- ler's department store in Eskridge, an employment where a person's ability and efficiency is daily put to the severest tests. That he has not been found wanting in any of the requisites essential to a further continuance in the esteem of his employer is evident to any one acquainted with Mr. Trusler's qualifications as a business manager. Mr. Shoecraft is fortunate in the possession of those qualifications that, years ago, directed him in the right path leading onward to success.

Mr. Barlow owns one of the best farms in Wabaunsee county and during his thirty- three years residence here has proven by his works what industry and persevering energy can accomplish on the rich, agricultural lands of the land of sunflowers and wind, drouth and grasshoppers. Mr. Bar- low is one of Wabaunsee county's substantial citizens and universally esteemed.
GUY C. BEALS
Was born June 24, 1858, in Ottawa county, Michigan. Came to Kansas in 1893, locating at Alma, where he, with his family, has since resided.

MR. JAMES L. THOMSON (Dec'd)
Was born in Clarke county, Kentucky, June 26, 1813. In 1837, was united in marriage to Miss Susan Davis, to which union four sons were born: Haynie, Davis, Matt, and Henry. Moved to Lincoln county, Tennessee, in 1842, and in 1857, to Wabaunsee county. Be- longed to a family of drovers, supplying the Southern markets with hogs and mules, all of which were driven overland, requiring several months to make a trip. After his removal to Tennessee was largely engaged in farming, saw-milling and the mercantile business, until 1853, when his fortune was wrecked by a tornado that literally de- stroyed Fayetteville, the county seat. After stemming the tide for three years came to Kansas, in 1856, locating the claim now known as the Herbert Shaw farm, on Dragoon creek. On August 6, 1857, occurred the first death in the Dragoon settlement, the mother of the writer being stricken down with malarial fever. On July 20, 1859, the subject of this sketch was again united in marriage to Miss Jane Washburn, of Norris' creek, Tennessee. In 1859, 1860, and 1861, was agent for the Santa Fe Mail company, having charge of the station at Elm creek. On February 4, 1882, death called the spirit home-after a pilgrimage here of 68 years, 7 months, and 8 days. Deceased was a man with whom kindness was a characteristic trait. He was a liberal contributor to public enterprises and charitable objects, among other contributions was one of $500 to Lincoln College, at Fayetteville, of which city he was several terms mayor. It was his nature to be liberal, a statement that could be amply corroborated by many of the later settlers on the Upper Dragoon, who gladly recognized in more than one of the old pioneers a friend in the hour of need.

MR. MICHAEL SWEENEY (Dec'd)
Was born in County Mayo, Ireland, in 1819, coming to America in his youth, living in Wisconsin until October, 1874, when he came to Kansas, locating in Kaw township. Was united in marrriage to Miss Bridget Moye, to which union were born seven children, four sons and three daughters: Mary, Mrs. Ellen Finney, Mrs. Margaret Lynn, Martin, James, Michael, and Thomas. There were but few settlers
310
EARLY HISTORY OF WABAUNSEE COUNTY, KAN.
on the reserve lands when Mr. Sweeney first opened up a farm in the Kaw bottoms, three miles southwest of St. Marys, but 27 years wrought many changes and found him the possessor of one of the largest farms in the county. On July 25, 1901, Mr. Sweeney died at his home in the Kaw Valley. He was a man of a strong will and a warm heart. Was ever ready to lend a helping hand to the needy, forgive a wrong, and to forget an injury.

Mr. Shaw owns 240 acres of good farm land and has attained a measure of success proportionate to well directed effort by one who thoroughly understands his business. Has an interesting family, a pleasant home, and such surroundings as bring happiness and contentment.
S. M. HARRIS

Mr. Harris, Sr., who died but a few years ago, was twice elected to the office of county superintendent of schools and once appointed to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Mr. E. R. Twitchell. Mr. Harris, the subject of this notice, is a poet of more than local fame, his poems partaking of the Whitcomb Riley type, many productions of his pen rivaling the best efforts of his Hoosier contemporary. But one glance at that interesting family group answers the query as to why Mr. Harris prefers a quiet, contented life on the old homestead even though accused of hiding his light under a bushel.
H. C. SHAW
Was born February 22d, 1849, in England. Came to America in in 1854 and to Kansas in 1872. With his father established the first woolen mill in Wabaunsee county, on Mission creek. On August 27, 1879, was united in marriage to Miss Matilda Chrisp, eleven children
