Its dimensions are 120x60 feet, and consists of three stories and a mansard roof with a tower of elegant design, the metallic summit of which, reflecting the dazzling sunlight, like a beacon marks the position of St. Joseph in a radius of many miles from the city, when no other fea- ture of the town is visible.
The building is, at present, divided into thirty-eight apartments of greater or less extent, all models of neatness and perfection of construc- tion and arrangement.
The tin roof of the convent building was blown off and the structure otherwise materially damaged by a storm which occurred in July, 1871.

HISTORY OF BUCHANAN COUNTY.
The restoration of the building by the addition of a slate-mansard roof and other repairs, involved an expense of $20,000.
The value of the convent property, including the parish school building on the premises, in which a large number are taught by four teachers, is estimated at $80,000.
The convent proper is usually occupied by about thirty nuns, inclu- ding the Lady Superior. The schools are well attended.
THE COLLEGE OF THE CHRISTIAN BROTHERS,
on an eminence in the northeast part of the city, is a plain and substan- tial brick structure, of lofty appearance and considerable extent. The Christian Brothers are devoted exclusively to the profession of teaching, and are forbidden from aspiring to the priesthood. The school generally includes upwards of two hundred students from all parts of the country, many of whom are boarders in the institution. St. Patrick's Parochial School is also conducted by the Christian Brothers in a large two-story brick building on the corner of Monterey and Eleventh Streets. This also is in a prosperous condition and is largely attended.
The Sisters of Charity, those ministers of mercy, whose deeds of benevolence exist whenever the cry of human suffering is heard, have an organization in St. Joseph, and a convent, to which is attached a school for the education of the poor. This is located on Felix between Seventh and Eighth Streets. The German English School of the Immaculate Conception is taught in a neat two-story brick building on Tenth below Angelique Street. It is conducted by an order of nuns known as the Sisters of St. Joseph. Vocal and instrumental music are taught here in addition to the German and English languages and the ordinary branches of education.

DeKalb, formerly Bloomington, in Bloomington Township, is located on the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad, fourteen miles south of St. Joseph, and twelve miles from Atchison, Kansas, and contains a population of about four hundred. . The town was laid off in 1837, by James G. Finch. The lots were surveyed by George Jole, who died in 1870. Finch left the place between 1839 and 1842, and, after his depart- ure, the quarter section of land upon which the town site was located was entered by Oliver Norman, who deeded to each settler the lot he occu- pied.
The town was laid off with a square in the center, for the purpose of accommodating the court house of the county, of which it was then expected to become the county seat.
About the year 1851, owing to the existence of another town in the state called Bloomington, the name was changed, with that of the post- office, to DeKalb. James G. Finch, above mentioned, opened the first store in the place, in 1838.
The first postmaster was A. J. Cunningham.
Bluford Allee and his brother-in-law, Daniel Chitwood, settled in DeKalb in 1842. They were well known citizens. Chitwood was a cab- inetmaker, and at one time a merchant in the town. Both are dead. Bluford Allee had charge, at one time, of the present county farm.
A. C. Craig, a prominent citizen of St. Joseph, and till recently a member of the firm of Tootle, Corby & Co., St. Joseph, sold goods in De Kalb several years previous to 1858.
Dr. Samuel Goslee, a native of Kentucky and a graduate of the Medical Department of the St. Louis University, practiced with dis- tinguished success in DeKalb from 1852 to 1871, when he moved to St. Joseph, where he died in 1878. Dr. Goslec was a bright and cultivated Mason, and stood high in the order.
BUSINESS FIRMS.
The principal business house of DeKalb (1881) is that of Derge & Hagenstein, general merchandise, and dealers in grain, cattle and hogs.
37 [
HISTORY OF BUCHANAN COUNTY.
This firm came to DeKalb in 1858. Albert Derge has been postmaster of the town for ten years past.

There is an . M. E. Church, brick, built also in 1858. The Rev. William Barnett is the minister in charge.
Secret orders of the county are mentioned under the proper head- ing, at the conclusion of this chapter.
DeKalb is one of the best shipping points on the line of the railroad, and the best on the branch. The country surrounding DeKalb is well watered, North Sugar Creek being the principal stream. No better tim- bered region in the county. Walnut grows everewhere, and also the different varieties of oak, elm, sugar-tree, linden, ash, hackberry, and in fact all kinds of timber indigenious to the latitude. The soil is a deep loam, not surpassed in fertility by any section of the county. Farms are generally in a good condition and well improved ; fine orchards and excellent blue grass pastures.

HISTORY OF BUCHANAN COUNTY.
RUSHVILLE.
The town of Rushville was laid out in 1847, by Perman Hudson and James Leachman. It was formerly called Columbus, but in 1851, the name was changed to Rushville.
BUSINESS FIRMS.
The present mercantile business of Rushville includes William Wells and Archibald Cooper, general stores ; Richard W. Jones, dealer in drugs and groceries ; William H. Allison, grocery store and the post office.
There are three saloons.
Two butcher shops.
Three blacksmith shops.

There are two good frame school buildings, in which six and eight months schools are taught during the year.
There are in the town two churches. The M. E. Church South, a frame building, 36x50 feet, completed in 1869, at a cost of $2,300; and the Christian Church, a frame of the same dimensions, built in 1876, at a cost of $2,000. There is besides in the township another house of wor- ship, known as "Sugar Creek Church." This (the property of the Chris- tians) is a Irame building, erected in 1879, at a cost of $2,500, on the site of the old church, the first built in the township, in 1855. The Baptists have also a church membership at Sugar Creek of twenty-two members.
The country surrounding Rushville is heavily timbered, not more than one thousand acres in the township being prairie.
It presents a striking diversity of surface, rolling upland, often abruptly broken, but always fertile, with fair average improvements.
The river bottom near the town is about three miles wide, and where not cleared, is covered with a thick growth of timber of valuable varie- ties. There are near the town some of the finest orchards in the county. The country is well supplied with water. Excellent building stone abounds, and coal is believed to exist there.
WINTHROP.
George Million settled the quarter section of land on which the town of Winthrop now stands in 1839, and erected thereon the first log.
.
373
HISTORY OF BUCHANAN COUNTY.
cabin that was built in the place, and afterwards sold to F. Ruthinger, who still resides there. Mr. Million operated the first ferry from Win- throp to Atchison, Kansas, before the latter was settled or laid out.
The land upon which Winthrop now stands was entered in 1844 by Philip Stultz, and sold by him in 1856, to Green Gore.
In 1857, Green Gore sold to Willis E. Gaylord, of Atchison County, Kansas. In 1860, on the completion of the railroad from St. Joseph to Atchison, W. E. Gaylord sold the quarter section to Senator S. C. Pomeroy, of Kansas. At this period a town company was formed by S. C. Pomeroy, W. E. Gaylord and others. A great portion of the original town site together with a part of the Kansas City Railroad track and depot grounds were washed away by the encroachments of the river, and many of the primitive structures which were built at an early day, have long since gone into the Missouri with the frail and treacherous banks on which they stood.
BUSINESS FIRMS.
Hiram House put up a building and was the first to sell goods in the place. He began in 1860 and continued until 1869, when he went to Colorado.
E. C. Wells opened a store after House left and sold good till 1880, when he moved to Forest City, Missouri. In the meantime other parties sold goods in Winthrop.
Hiram House was the first postmaster and also the first justice of the peace. By the flood of 1880 the town was nearly depopulated. J. A. Baily, now selling goods in the place, commenced in 1865.
Captain J. G. Morrow, the present postmaster, has also been en- gaged in general merchandise for many years. He located just below the town in the spring of 1854 ; he now resides in Atchison, Kansas, but does business in Winthrop. He was a part owner in the first ferry operated by Million.
E. Winkler and T. R. Shelly are merchants in general trade.
Dr. C. T. Burchard keeps a drug store.
John Meyer is a baker and confectioner.

374
HISTORY OF BUCHANAN COUNTY.
SCHOOLS, CHURCHES, ETC.
There is no church building in Winthrop. £
Religious services are held by different denominations in a neat public school building, which was built in 1875, at a cost of $700.
IMPROVEMENTS.
The most prominent features of the town are the large brick pack- ing houses, located south of the railroad tracks.
The larger one was erected in the summer and fall of 1879, by the Fowler Bros., of Chicago, at a cost of about $150,000, This immense establishment, when in operation, employed one thousand men. In the fall of 1880, the machinery was moved to Kansas City and the building was virtually abandoned.
In the summer of 1880, Smith, Farlow & Co., of Quincy, Illinois, erected in the immediate neigeborhood of Fowler Bros.' packing house a smaller building, costing about $60,000.
Both these structures are brick, the former having a capacity for dis- posing of 2,500 hogs per day, and the latter a capacity for killing about 1,500.
The bridge across the Missouri River, extending between Winthrop and Atchison, was completed in 1876, at a cost of about $1,000,000. It is built of iron ; is a magnificent structure, and accommodates railroads and general travel.
Another prominent feature of the town is the East Atchison Live Stock Exchange and Stock Yards, Colonel D. G. Stockwell, general manager. These yards were opened in 1873, and afford facilities for keeping one thousand head of cattle and one thousand head of hogs. There are at present in the town two railroad depots and one or two round houses.
AGENCY.
Where the town of Agency now stands there was formerly a ford, extensively used in the days of the early settlement of the country, called Agency Ford. The name originated from the fact that the Platte River was forded at this point, in going from the Indian Agency, established west of the Platte, to Liberty, Clay County, Missouri, in those days, the nearest point of trade.
It was here that General Andrew S. Hughes lived several years as an Indian Agent, before the purchasing of the Platte country.
BUSINESS FIRMS.
The first store in the place was opened by William Jackson in 1866, who afterwards kept a saloon and a blacksmith shop.
375
HISTORY OF BUCHANAN COUNTY.
Two or three years after, T. Weedin opened a general store on a small scale.
Mr. Smith erected a business block, which was destroyed by fire. Afterward a two-story brick block was built, including two large business houses.
E. M. Yates & Co., long a prominent firm in Agency, sold to W. B. Smith, the style of the firm now being Mccrary & Smith.
A large general store is kept by Wells & Smith.

The Cumberland Presbyterian Church was organized in the town in 1862, by J. J. Gilmore, James M. Campbell and B. P. Holland. This building is used by all denominations.
The M. E. Church South, has a one-fourth interest here in a church building.
The country surrounding Agency is essentially a timbered region, not more than two hundred acres of the township being prairie. Of late, however, much of this timber has disappeared from the ridges extending between the northern boundary of the township and Platte River. The prevailing character of the ridge timber is oak of different varieties. The bottom affords an abundance of fine walnut as well as other kinds of valuable timber.
The principal stream of the township is Pigeon Creek, flowing in an easterly direction into Platte River. In certain localities along the banks of Platte River, good limestone suitable for building purposes is found, and also an abundance of sand and gravel.
HALLECK.
The present hamlet and post office of Halleck, in Crawford Town- ship, was formerly called Birming. The name changed during the civil svar to its present style, in honor of General Halleck.
The site of the village was originally known as Fansher's Cross Roads. In 1848-49 a saloon was kept here, in which was sold whisky of so villainous a character, that some soldiers of the Mexican war, who
376
HISTORY OF BUCHANAN COUNTY.
had just returned home, compared it to Taos whisky, proverbial for being the meanest sold in Mexico.
A soldier, John McGuire, galloping through the village and yelling " Hurrah for Taos!" fixed the nickname by which it has ever since been known. McGuire died in California.
The first postmaster of Birming was Henry Hardin, now dead.
The first building on the site of what was afterward Birming was a saddle shop, and put up by John Baker, previous to 1845.
John Conan brought the first stock of goods and opened the first regular store, in 1849. A few months after he sold to Hiram Rodgers. who continued the business for several years.

WALLACE.
On the Atchison branch of the C., R. I. & P. R. R., five miles southeast of DeKalb, is the most important business point in Crawford township.
It was laid out in 1872, on the extension of the road to this point.
William Fowler, of St. Joseph, pre-empted the quarter section of land on which Wallace now stands. He sold the land to John Judy and Thomas Feland, who composed the town company.
The first business house put up in the place, was by Thomas Ringo. He sold goods here from 1873 to 1879.
Asher & Gibson succeeded him. They continued the business two years, when they sold to Johnson & Bashford, who now conduct the estab- lishment.
Chesnut & Beaver opened a general stock of goods in 1874, in a building erected by G. W. Rector, a pioneer of this section, who died in 1879. Rector's farm adjoined the town site.
377
HISTORY OF BUCHANAN COUNTY.
Chesnut & Beaver were succeeded by Beaver & Rogers. Curtis & Jenkins succeeded Beaver & Rogers in 1877, and continued to do busi- ness till 1878, when the present firm of Chesnut & Murphy was estab- lished in the same stand.
In 1877, Leny Garten sold goods a few months in the town, and, in the spring of 1880, O. P. H. Lucas, the present postmaster of the place, opened a family grocery.
The Wallace Hotel, a small, two-story frame building, ample, how- ever, to meet the demands of the place, was built in 1873, by T. C. Feland, and occupied by G. C. McLain. In 1876, it was sold to Zack Finney, and occupied as a hotel by Mrs. Mary McGinnis till 1880, when it was re-occupied by G. C. McLain.
George Girardin opened a blacksmith shop in 1873 on the site of the town before it was laid out.
