EARLY HISTORY OF WABAUNSEE COUNTY, KAN.
PETER RIYNARD
Was born in France, April 30, 1830. Came to America with his parents when but eight years of age. On November 10, 1865, was united in marriage to Miss Catherine Zahner at Milwaukee, Wiscon- son, and two years later came to Wabaunsee county, locating near Eskridge. Three daughters and two sons came to the Riynard home: Mrs. Lena E. Dingman, Mrs. Emma E. Higby, Mrs. Alice L. Robert- son, Mr. Albert H. and Mr. Jesse E. Riynard, During the civil war Mr. Riynard was a member of Co. D, Ist Oregon Cavalry. Died at Eskridge March 12, 1885. He was an industrious, hard working man and one of our most highly esteemed citizens.
G. G. HALL
Was born April 25, 1803, in Herkimer county, New York. In 1850 was united in marriage to Miss Helen A. Wadsworth, of Utica, New York. Came to Kansas in 1858, locating at Wabaunsee where he resided until 1873. He was once appointed and nine times elected to the office of probate judge. He was a popular official, but the state- ment is superfluous when his repeated reelection to one of the most important offices in the gift of the people is before us. By his upright conduct, strict integrity and sterling worth, Judge Hall secured for himself an exalted place in the esteem of the people.
AUGUST WOLGAST, SR.
Was born December 25, 1835, in Ardmansbalde, Germany. He re- ceived a good educational training at Gerswalde, and came to America and to Kansas in 1860. He was married May 16 of the same year to Miss Dorothea Geinther, to which union eight children were born. Mr. Wolgast owns an excellent farm of 700 acres near Templin and is one of our most substantial and most highly esteemed citizens, with a family of estimable children, who are following in the footsteps of their worthy parents. 1
WILLIAM TREU
Was a Wabaunsee county boy, born on the farm, October 16, 1865. Received good educational advantages, but preferred life on the farm, where he remained until elected sheriff of Wabaunsee county in 1895. Was reelected two years later and at the close of liis

second term again returned to the farm, but this time in Texas, in the Beaumont oil fields, but before Mr. Treu could reap the benefit of his lucky investment he died on June 8, 1900, aged 34 years, 7 months and 22 days. Before going to Texas he was married to Miss Kate Little, a son being born to this union. Deceased was a young man of sterling worth and by his gentlemanly deportment had secured for himself a warm place in the hearts of the people.
JOHN HESS
Was born July 7, 1825, in Altenrath, Prussia. He was educated at Frankfort-on-the-Main. Came to America in 1853 and to Kansas in 1857, locating at the mouth of Copp branch of Mill creek. On Decem- ber 31, 1854, was united in marriage to Miss Gertrude Schmitz, to which union six children were born, four of whom are living: - Anna, Elenora, Otto and Henry. Mr. Hess died April 5, 1877. He was one of the leading citizens of his time and a man of much influence, al- ways exerting his efforts for the general good. He was highly es- teemed and his death universally regretted.
ABE WELFELT
This picture of an Alma boy of ye olden time is true to life. Abe is now in the Indian Territory and a trusted member of the Indian police. While the history was in preparation Abe canie to Alma on a visit with friends of years agone and before he got away a snap shot paved the way for an item in this history that would be much more interesting had Abe left behind him the particulars of a few of the many incidents that would read like a romance if set before our read- ers in cold type. Abe is a good hearted boy that has seen more of the rough side of life than one in ten thousand and his many friends need have no fears as to his ability to hold his own in any little adventure that may chance to come his way.
W. S. WILLIAMS
This portrait recalls an amusing as well as a thrilling incident of which this old pioneer constable and deputy U. S. Marshal was a par- ticipant-in fact one of the principal actors-the other party was a wounded buffalo that Williams had shot. There was a scrimmage from which Williams emerged pretty much in the condition of our first parents before partaking of the forbidden apple. The buffalo's
355

horns were responsible for the lack of apparel but Williams took a philosophical view of the situation and attributed his ill luck to his refusing to remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy. His compan- ions had remained at the camp, possibly not altogether oblivious of the fact that they were out of meat. At any rate, Peter Sharai was on the alert and but for a shot from his unerring rifle there would have been a funeral in camp instead of a feast. Even horse thieves had the greatest respect for Williams and never intentionally crossed his path. For the numerous accidents of this character Williams was alone responsible.
LOUIS HORNE
Was born August 16, 1870, at Jamestown, Wisconsin. Came to Alma with his parents when but twelve years of age. He was edu- cated in the public schools and taught school one term. On May 6, 1896, was united in marriage to Miss Theresa Schutter, to which union one son, Leo, was born. Died August 20, 1901, at the age of 31 years, He was proprietor of the Hotel Alma and a director of the Alma National Bank. The funeral sermon was preached by Rev. Silbermann, and as a mark of respect all business houses in town were closed.
THE ALMA LIEDERKRANZ
Was organized October 1st, 1890. First officers: President, G. H. Meier; Vice Pres., Carl Lang; Secretary, C. Schubert; Treasurer, Otto Sawallisch. Fred Meyer was elected instructor in vocal culture. After a short stay at Philip Birk's, the Catholic school building was used, but the growth of the society demanding more room land was rented of Mr. Franz Schmidt, who, in recognition of his liberality, was made an honorary member of the society. A tract of land con- talning three and two-fifths acres was purchased in 1893 and a room 20x40 erected at a cost of $400. Steps were taken to beautify the grounds, Mr. C. Schubert being intrusted with this duty. The grounds today are the best evidence that he has been faithful to his trust. In 1900 the building was again enlarged, rendered necessary by the constant increase in the growth of the society, the number hav- ing reached 125 and with many applications for membership on file.
STREET SCENE IN CHICKASHA.
Had our readers been in Chickasha at the opening of the Kiowa and Comanche lands in Oklahoma in August, 1900, they would have seen just what the artist caught with the camera-one of the stirring
356

scenes that for months wasdaily repeated. But this is but a prototype of similar scenes enacted on the streets of Leavenworth and Kansas City in 1856 to 1860, when homeseekers were looking for a haven of rest in sunny Kansas. In both instances the march of empire was wending its way westward. But the settler seeking a home in Okla- homa possessed advantages the Kansas pioneer never enjoyed-his home market and base of supplies were brought nearer by the railroad. But the conditions are undergoing a revolution and a few years hence there will be no western border-no vacant lands to offer the pioneer a home for the asking.
ALMA VOLUNTEER BAND.
Names of members from left to right. First tier: George Linss, August Bandel, John Degenhardt, Richard Thoes, William Speer, Theo. Geisler, Chas. Meyer, John Senge. Second tier: Clarence Eck, Ralph Sage, Louis Burt, S. E. Hull (Band Instructor), Charlie Thom- son, Paul Geisler. Third tier: Charlie Palenske, Guy Cleaveland.
OUT FOR A ROUND UP.
We might say "swapping work"-a custom among cattlemen of assisting one another in rounding up and cutting out cattle suitable for the market or shipping. Named from left to right: Sell Fields, Fred Bates, Ed. Buckingham, John Berroth, Chet Davis, Al Davis, A. S. Allendorph and Tom Mankins. Though several ciphers would be required to indicate the property holdings of several of these parties, all are cowboys for the time being and either one can rope a steer with the ease of any expert on the range.
SCENE ON DAVIS BROS.' RANCH.
An every day occurrence on the range in the fall when the boys "out for a round up" have bunched the cattle preparatory to cutting out-the one task being but preliminary to the other. The round up means work. It means long rides over hill and dale and vigilant search through clumps of bushes and in cozy nooks for the widely scattered remnants of the herd. In pleasant weather it is agreeable employment, but when the threatening clouds lower and the vivid lightning plays on the tips of the long horns the thought that wells up is "the dearest spot on earth is home"-a thought that is usually dispelled by the first, bright rays of the summer's sunshine.
357
EARLY HISTORY OF WABAUNSEE COUNTY, KAN.
VISITORS AT THE RANCH.
A visit at the ranch from the ladies is to the cowboy like an oasis in the desert. Their coming means a break in the monotony of every day life on the range; it means an array of tempting viands at the noon hour to which the boys are hardly accustomed, to say nothing of the bright rays of sunshine for which old Sol is in nowise responsible.
Catholic Church and Altar, Newbury.
With the pews cost $8410. Built in 1884, by Rev. Father Hund- hausen. Two years later the parsonage was built at a cost of more than $1500. Capacity of church, 350. Membership, 500-about seventy families. Prior to the building of the stone church, services were held in the little frame building nearby-built in 1874 by Rev. Father Vanderburg.
REV. WIENER'S CONFIRMATION CLASS.
The date should be 1900. Members of the class named from left to right are as follows: Theo. Muckenthaler, Engelber Richtstadter, Eddie Mock, Leo Schmidt, Jos. Werner, Jos. Rosenstengel, Paulina Hund, Maggie Zeller, Isidor Glotzbach, Katie Glotzbach, Clemens Marstall, Clara Schultz, Rosa Muckenthaler, August Storch, Aloys Frey, Geo. Noller, Mary Schott, Katie Eagan, Elizabeth Michaelis, Frankie Michaelis, Victor Muckenthaler. Ida Hund, Johnnie Knoeb- ber, Joseph Higert, Margaretha Michaelis, Cecilia Meinhardt, Willie Schilling, Lizzie Hund, Clara Meinhardt-forming a class of most es- timable young people, members of the best families of Newbury and vicinity. That their life work may be. all the more commendable by reason of their early religious training all may rest assured.
The Newbury Philharmonic Band
Was organized October 1, 1883, by Rev. Hundhausen, with Ferdi- nand Hermann, of Alma, as musical instructor and Mr. Martin Muckenthaler, Jr., (now deceased), band leader. The band is the old- est in the county, and, although but three of the old organizntion are now members of the band it still ranks as one of the best. The members own a nice set of nniforms and a band wagon. The follow- ing are the names of the band, named from left to right: Standing- Leo Hund, Frank Muckenthaler, (dec'd.), Franz Breitenstein, Albert

THE BOUCHEY STACKER.
Our illustration shows Al Bonchey, the inventor, at work on an invention that is endorsed by the largest ranchmen in Kansas. Sin- plicity and durability are features that commend the stacker and with the low price at which the machine is offered ought to insure Mr. Bouchey a just recompense for time and labor expended in per- fecting his invention. The testimonials are of the highest order and from men who write from an unbiased standpoint. Mr. Bouchey has already secured patents on two valuable inventions and has made ap- plication for another patent from which he expects to realize a hand- some income. He secured his patents through C. A. Snow & Co., of Washington, D. C.

M. E. CHURCH, ALMA, 1880.
Built in 1878, when sidewalks were almost unknown in Alma. For years the church stood solitary and alone-no trees or buildings near. Rev. Geo. E. Nicholson was pastor when the church was built. Prior to that service had been held in the court house and school house by Revs. Kirkman, Lord, McNair, and B. Frank Smith. The money required to build the church was raised entirely by subscription. Mr. C. M. Rose had charge of the building, as foreman, while the work was being done. The parsonage was built for a residence by Mr. Ben Hoskinson, sheriff, in 1875, and bought by the church in 1877-before the church was built. After Mr. Nicholson came Revs. Parlette, Collins, Kendall, Murray, Browning, Smith, Meeks, Baker, Johnson, Nathan, Dennis, Young, Marsh, Elliott, Bernard, and the present minister, Rev. Gibson. The bell in the M. E. church was the first church bell in Alma. The first funcral in the church was that of Mrs. C. M. Rose, on January 30, 1879.
