In 1654, he was found in Salisbury. He was listed as a townsman of Amebury through 1677 where he gave his oath of allegiance before Major Robert Pike the 20th of December 1677.

BOSTON, Massachusetts – A Suffolk County courthouse worker made an astonishing find on a July day in 1996. While cleaning out a file cabinet, Supreme Judicial Court clerk Richard Rouse stumbled on one-of-a-kind hand written manuscripts. The two leather bound volumes contain proceedings detailing Puritan prosecutions of witches,

2

adulterers, and slaves. The decayed, frayed records provide students of the Puritan theocrary an astonishing look at Massachusetts’ civil law proceedings spanning the years 1673 to 1695. One of the volumes was first discovered in 1901 and the proceedings were hand copied for use by historians and scholars. No one knows how the volume was lost again, but the second volume, which details dozens of more cases, is of more interest because state archivists believe that it is the first time that it has ever been discovered. These court proceedings of civil trials from the years 1673 to 1695 were unavailable for study until now. The following are samples of cases, including witchcraft and adultery, found in the Record of Court of Assistants, Colony of Massachusetts, 1673 to 1692, which were published in the Boston Herald on July 9, 1996. These cases have never before been available for study. The 17th century spelling of words and punctuation, which was not yet standardized, has been preserved in order to maintain absolute accuracy of transcription from the handwritten manuscripts. …Samuel Guile of Hauerll being Committed to Prison in order to his tryall for Committing a Rape was presented & Indicted by the Grand Jury was brought from the prison to the barr where holding vp his hand was Indicted by the name of Samuel Guile for not having the fear of God before his eyes & being Instigated by the civill did on or about the 25th day of December last in the woods violently & forcibly seize on & Comitt a rape on the body of Mary Ash, the wife of John Ash of Amesbury Contrary to the peace of our Soueraigne Lord the King his Croune & dignity of the lawes of God & the Country.

Notes: Rufus Ash Page 89-90 From his Lisbon, New Hampshire, birthplace Rufus Ash travelled many a long, hard mile to his final resting place in the Highland Cemetery. Rufus was a revered elder of the community, having served his country both in the Mexican and Civil Wars. In 1900 he was carried to his rest by his comrades of the G.A.R., where the old veteran found his eternal peace. Rufus was born October 6, 1816, the son of Nathaniel and Sarah (Bayley) Ash. Following the westward trend of the time, the family removed after 1834 to Clark County, Ohio. He later moved to Hamilton County, Indiana, where on May 25, 1845, he married Susan, daughter of Joshua and Mary (Morgan) Wright. (Susan’s grandfather and uncles were instrumental in helping Alexander Campbell establish the faith of the Disciples of Christ in Indiana.) The young family moved in 1854 with their three young children to Clark County, Mo. There was his residence until after the death of his beloved wife in 1883; in about 1886 he elected to live the remainder of his life with his youngest son, Amos. Mrs. William (Alice) Sturgeon, his youngest daughter, had already moved to Barber County in the fall of 1883, where she and her family lived until the famous “Run” in 1895 to Oklahoma, when they staked a claim in Kingfisher County. A nephew of Rufus, Manson Thomas Ash, desiring a better life, came to Barber County and taught school near Sun City for a number of years. Mr. Ash enriched greatly the lives of those who knew him, and particularly those of his oldest grandchildren. To mourn his death, he left Joshua Wright, born 1846, married Mary Hanslow of Clark County, Mo.; Mary, born 1847, married to Aaron McNerlin, and after his death to Michael Lewis of Seiling, Oklahoma; Mrs. Joseph (Sarah) Decker, born 1840, of Llano, Texas; Jordon, born 1855, died Rangely, Colorado; Mrs. William (Alice) Sturgeon, born 1858, of Ames, Oklahoma; and Amos, born 1860, married Rebecca Isabella Wiley of Barber County, Kansas. At this writing of this article, he still have five granddaughters – surely a remembrance of the hale and hearty men and women who forged the wilderness into the United States.

Medicine Lodge Cresset, November 2, 1900, page 3, column 3 Died: Rufus Ash, another old pioneer of Barber county, died Tuesday morning October 30, 1900, in his eighty-fourth year. For the past two or three years he has been in feeble health, a breaking down by age of a vigorous constitution, and at last death came like the dying away of a soft autumn breeze. Mr. Ash was an old soldier, having served with credit to himself in the Mexican war and again in the war of the rebellion. His funeral sermon was delivered by Elder McLain. Mr. Ash was a good neighbor, respected by all. He lived a Christian life, and died strong in the faith of a future life, and love for his country and the old flag which covered his casket as his comrades bore it to the silent camp ground in Highland cemetery. The following was written on a postcard and mailed from Kahoka, Missouri Oct. 29, 1883 to Sarah Decker: “Enterprise, Mo. Oct the 28th, 1883 Dear Sister, I drop you a few lines to let you know that Mother is dead. She died yesterday morning 9:30 a.m. and was buried today at about 1 p.m. This leaves us all well.

(from Harry Ash's memories). “After Ruth Ash (Amos and Belle Ash's daughter) was born in 1907, Aunt Mollie and Uncle Wright came on a visit, in a wheelchair. They came on the train. Then the folks and them went in a spring waggon down to visit Aunt Mary and Alice, but while they were gone Aunt Alice came. We had a lot of fun. One day we baked bread. Dad had gray houns, they would break in the door if you didn't watch to get to the bread. I'd been out, land only known when Aunt Alice was gone. When I got in, guess where, she was out in the privy, whip in hand and the bread setting in front.” (memories from Hazel Ash Smith, Amos and Belle Ash's daughter). Joshua Wright Ash, an early citizen of Clark county, died at his home south of Kahoka, January 6, 1913, at 2:30 p.m. at the age of 66 years, 9 months and 3 days, death being due to paralysis. The funeral services were held Wednesday at the residence, conducted by Rev. J.M. Harris, pastor of the Kahoka Christian church. The internment was in the Union cemetery. Joshua Wright Ash was born in Noblesville, Hamilton county, Indiana, April 3, 1846. He came to Clark county with his parents at the age of 8 years. He joined the Federal Army in the Civil War and served his country for 18 months. He enlisted as a private in Captain Louis W Williams Company I, Regiment 39, Infantry of Missouri on August 24, 1864 and was honorably discharged on March 28, 1864 at St. Louis. On his return from the army he settled on the homestead. He was married to Mary Ann Hanslow, August 20, 1871. To this union were born eleven children, three dying in infancy. Surviving to mourn their loss are the devoted wife and eight children namely. Mrs. Susan Brotherton, Mrs. Viola Cartwright and Ira Ash, of Kahoka, Mrs. Lennie Smith, Mrs. Alice Lockwood, Mrs. Nellie Price and Mrs. Anna Moore, of Williamstown, and Harrison Ash, at home; also one brother, Amos Ash, of this county and three sisters, Mrs. Sarah Decker, of Texas; Mrs. Mary Lewis and Mrs. Alice Sturgeon, of Oklahoma. Mr. Wright’s illness dates from December 21, 1904, since which time he has had the devoted care of his family. Mr. Ash united with the Christina church at the Ascher school house with 17 years of age, and lived a devoted member. He bore his suffering patiently. He was a good citizen and leaves a host of friends who regret his death and have the

deepest sympathy for the family in their great sorrow. Thou shalt come to they grave in full age, like a chock of corn cometh in its season. Job 5:20. J.W. Ash family and Amos Ash Family in Kansas

Former Champlin Petroleum Workers in Fort Worth, Texas, Gather to

Reminisce.(Knight Ridder/Tribune Business News) From:

Knight Ridder/Tribune Business News Date:

November 14, 2000 Author:

Piller, Dan

Nov. 13--Retiree Jack Debo of Fort Worth counts among his proudest possessions several boxfuls and albums of memorabilia from Champlin Petroleum Co. Debo has a beautiful lighted globe, the kind that once adorned the top of gasoline pumps at more than 1,400 Champlin stations from Texas to Minnesota. His collection includes belt buckles, signs, hats, patches and old company magazines. "I won't let this stuff out of the house," Debo says proudly. Debo, who joined Champlin in 1957, recalls that Anita Thomas, secretary to President Earl Baldridge, "looked after the women employees very carefully." "She always was on them to dress nicely," he says. "It looked like a fashion show."

Champlin workers lived close to the headquarters, then on the western edge of Fort Worth. Debo's wife, Jesse, taught more than 100 Champlin offspring at Ridglea Hills Elementary School. "There was always a family feeling about Champlin in the early days," Jesse Debo says. Every December, the company had a fancy Christmas party, with all the food and drink that the employees could consume.

Notes: Will and Alice Sturgeon were married before he was 21 years of age and, as was the custom at the time, he paid his father a stated amount each month from the time they married until the day he reached 21 to make up for labor “owed” to his parents. Their first three children were born in Missouri. When Bert was ten months old, they moved to Kansas in 1883. They were thirty days reaching Minneapolis, Kansas and spent one winter there. They then went on to Medicine Lodge. They preempted 160 acres of land southwest of Medicine Lodge where they lived in a dugout one winder. They lived there for seven years where their next three children were born. They filed on land in Oklahoma during the famous “Run” in 1890 and lived in Kingfisher County. Orville was born in July after their arrival. Two more children were born in Oklahoma. (Maxine Sturgeon who compiled the Sturgeon Family History mentioned hearing that Will Sturgeon wanted to homestead in Alaska probably around the gold rush. Aunt Alice told him “, that she had her family”. She had three children in three states, so support she felt there was a trend.

Notes: Woods County Family History – Woods County Oklahom Pioneers, by Alyce Jones Barker, 1976, Waynoka Historical Society "James Harvey Jones was born in Springfield, Illinois on 23 Aug 1863. When he was 5 yrs. old he moved with his parents to Wichita, KS. His father was in the real estate business. One day James & some other boys were playing under a bridge & heard a commotion. They saw horses race over the bridge & soon another group of riders rode over. Jesse James had just robbed the bank & the posse was chasing him. J.H. Jones came to the Indian Territory at the age of 16, & he worked for the Quinlan brothers on the 2S Ranch. He drove a the stage from Wichita to Caldwell, Kansas for 2 years. Jim was nicknamed "Poke" or "Pocahontas", and was well known among his cowboy friends. Tom Waters said, "He was one of the most quiet, unassuming & fearless men I have ever known." James knew Capt. Payne, a "sooner" to Oklahoma, and did some work for him. Jones drove a herd of cattle to leased land south of Waynoka, then called Keystone. When old Oklahoma was opened for settlement, James made the run and settled on a claim near Okeene, OK. He married Sadie Sturgeon on 25 Oct 1891 at her parents home. James Jones came to the Indian Territory of Oklahoma at the age of 16 & worked for the Quinlan Brothers on the 2S Ranch. He drove a stage from Wichita to Caldwell, Kansas for 2 years. James was nicknamed "Poke" of "Pocahontas" & was well known among his cowboy friends...He married Sadie Sturgeon on 25 Oct 1891 at her parents' home. Two kids were born to them, Claude & Ethel (Arney). Later,when the Cherokee Strip or Outlet was opened, Jim sold his land near Okeene, OK; made the run & settled on a claim was of Enid, OK. He sold this land to Jim Hale & bought a ranch SE of Waynoka, OK. In 1909 Jim & Sadie moved to a farm one mile east of Waynoka, OK. Their children, Jay, Harold, Laura (died in infancy), Catheryn (died at 18 mths.), Alyce (Barker), Dan, & Ted S., 9 children in all, were born here. Jim Jones died on 28 May 1951 & Sadie died 24 Nov 1951. Jim was a charter member of the Cimarron Cowboys Assn., Freedom, OK." From an article written by James' daughter, Alyce Jones Barker. Date: 1879 Notes: Actual text: James in 1879, when he was 16 came to the Indian Territory and worked as a cowboy for the Quinlan Brothers on the 2S ranch. He also drove the stage from Wichita to Caldwell, Kansas for two years. "The stage routes often paralleled old wagon train trails but sometimes left them entirely. The horse-drawn coaches were just as dependent on watering places, as they frequently made the same stream crossings at the old, well-known fords. The stage routes from Dodge to Beaver,Beaver to Elliot, Elliot to Tascosa, of Garden City to Harwoodville were all pretty much the same. The flying wheels traversed the hard-packed buffalo sod and dipped into the sand in the river bottoms; they crossed the high, grassy plains and slipped into the meadows and bottom land where the blum stem sometimes stood wither-high on the stage horses. There were curves and high hills and before the stage had gotten underway someone took sick, "stage sick", just as they get carsick or airsick today. The common treatment for this sickness was to stop and give a passenger back his land legs. If time was too valued to make a stop , a vial of camphor was carried by the driver. A whiff from the bottle often helpded the passenger to hang on

72

to his breakfast or dinner a few more miles. But the nasuea hung on every step of the way for those who have the weakness and such a trip was anything but pleasurable. At the stage stations the Stage Jack (they were all called Jack, just as Pullman porters became George at a latter time) helped passengers who suffered from heat or cold or the variour illnesses that came from stage travel. Twin privies helped some; others found a good meal of buffalo ribs added to their comfort. After a few minutes of rest and a change of horses, they would try it again! A set of rules, almost uniformly accepted on all stage lines, aided somewhat in setting the scene for travel. This set of rules was first published on the old Butterfield Stage Route. It governed, somewhat, the deportment of passengers, while en route to their destinations. Among other items the following rules, reprinted from a set published in the Omaha World Herald, Omaha, Nebraska in 1877: 1. The best seat is the forward one, next to the driver. If you have tendencies toward stage sickness when riding backwards, you will get over it faster in this seat & receive less jolts & jostlings. 2. If the stage team runs away or are pur- sued by Indians, stay in the coach & take your chances. Don't jump out, for you'll be either injured or scalped. 3. In cold weather abstain from liquor, for you are subject to freezing quicker if under its influence than as though you were cold sober. 4. But if you are drinking from a bottle, pass it around. It is only polite thing to do. Be sure to procure all stimulants before leaving (Dodge City of Fort Elliott) for the ranch (stage station) whiskey is nectar. 5. Don't smoke a strong cigar or pipe on the stage, especially when women or children are present. If chewing tobaccdo, spi to the leeward side. 6. Don't swear, snore or lop over on neighbors while sleeping. Let others share the buffalo robes provided in cold weather. 7. Don't shoot firearms for pleasure en route as it scares the horses. 8. Don't discuss politics or religion. Don't point out sites where robberies or Indian attacks have taken place. 9. While at stations don't lag at wash basins or privies. Don't grease hair with bear grease or buffalo tallow, as travel

73

is very dusty. 10. Don't imagine you are going on a picnic, for stage travel is inconvenient. Expect annoyances, discomforts, and hardships. Bear them with fortitude. (This list of stage rules comes from the book, The Lost Trails of the Cimarron, by Harry E. Chrisman, Sage Books 1964, Library of Congress #61-14370, pages 44-46.) Billy Quinlan and the Woodward Station--from the book "Cowman of the Cimmaron", by Eldon Clemance Added by reround856 on 31 May 2008 Originally submitted by CherylJONES32 to Backman Family Tree on 5 Dec 2007 Billie Quinlan, despite apparently suffering heavy losses the winter of 1885-86, not only survived but in the spring acquired a second range in the area of Chimney Rock on the Cimarron, some seven miles west of Barrel Springs, shortly to become Keystone station. This move re-established Quinlan west of Eagle Chief Creek after an absence from this area of nearly eight years; the reader will recall that Quinlan and Robert Crawford had lost, or simply abandoned their Salt Fork range on the Barber county line to Stith and Watkins in a range dispute in the spring of 1879. How Quinlan was able to find a vacant range in the Chimney Rock area, in what was the southeastern part of Gregory, Eldred and Company's range, is not known, however, the answer probably lies in the disastrous cattle losses the recent winter past. Probably the OE, as it did with its Elm Springs range, leased or sold its lease rights to Chimney Creek to Quinlan. Quinlan's herd (also carrying his 2S brand) at Chimney Rock he left in the care of four of his Turkey Creek cowhands, James (Poke) Jones, a native of Springfield, Illinois, who for a brief time was an aide to Captain David Payne and was arrested along with Payne in the summer of 1880 for tresspassing in the Oklahoma country, afterwards for a time driving the stage between Wichita and Caldwell; James (Jim) Hale, born in Kentucky, raised in Texas, was with a drover outfit up the Chisholm Trail in the spring of 1880, and worked some for the Spade Ranch in the Strip before hiring on with Quinlan; Jack Drennon, a youth from Leavenworth, Kansas, who worked some first for the Clark and Treadwell outfit in the Strip; and a Billy Morian. Quinlan, however, continued to hold his home range and a second herd at Turkey Springs. His ranch on Turkey Creek, as it operated after 1885, was escribed by his former camp cook, Evan Barnard: Quinlan, the owner, had one of the best ranches in the Strip, and he provided plenty of good chuck. Once each month the wagon went to Caldwell for supplies. . . This was one ranch that had a nice garden, and a fine springhouse where milk was kept. Some five or six cows were milked all the time. Then with game plentiful, such as deer, wild turkeys, quail, ducks, and prairie chickens by the thousand, along with a good, fat beef killed in the fall and winter, we managed to get by in grand fashion. Besides these, the ranch had a nice lot of poultry to keep us in eggs. We had also fried chicken at times , and there were fifty or a hundred hogs running in the jacks near Deep Creek.

74

Quinlan, as did a number of the other Strip ranchman about this time, brought in the hogs in February, 1885, perhaps as a hedge against the heavy cattle losses suffered that winter; the hogs foraged for themselves like wild razor-backs in the surrounding black jacks, growing fat from eating acorns and walnuts. Besides providing table meat for Quinlan's cowboys, the hogs usually found a steadier market than cattle. Quinlan kept some eight to ten cowboys on his payroll at Turkey Springs, among them, Billy Dunlap, his foreman, described as "a clever boy and one of the best cow bosses that ever lived," James M. Hall, Rattlesnake Bill, Dutch Anderson, C.M. Smith, Charley Tex, Bill Stephens, Joe Beale, Unk Hildreth, C.C. Smith, G.S. Crane, the bookeeper, and Evan Barnard, the cook, who was called "Parsons" for his abstinence from swearing, whiskey and tobacco, a rarity on the range. To earn extra money, Barnard laundered the other cowboys clothes, boiling them in hot water to kill the bedbugs (greybacks), that infested all the cow camps. "My charge was ten cents per piece. The clothes were put into a big kettle and boiled, and then thrown over some bush to dry." Barnard recalled, "One of my customers was Jim Hale. He had only one shirt to wash each month. His annual laundry bill was a dollar and twenty cents." A cowboy who wore a "boiled shirt" was the envy of his peers. One of Quinlan's cowboys, however, would simply place his shirt on a red ant hill and leave it for a few hours to allow the ants to eat the "greybacks," a practice that was probably fairly common in the Strip. The 2S shipped 2,000 beeves from New Kiowa. The need to thin the herds came at a particularly bad time for the cow men of the Cimarron. 1886 saw the onset of a deep drought in Western Kansas and the adjoining Strip, that was to persist into the 1890s. Also, the cattle market, after a steady recovery following the 1884 slump, dropped dramatically in September of 1886, just in time to catch the fall shipping season. On the September Kansas City market, native steers sold for 3.60 @ 4.65 and cows for 2.65 @ 2.82 1/2, down from the previous year, prompting the Kiowa Herald to speak of the "financial depression of 1886." According to the Kansas City Live-Stock Indicator, beef prices fell by forty to fifty percent between 1884 and early January, 1887. Markets were so depressed in 1886 that cattlemen in the Texas panhandle were reported not to be even rounding up. Those cattlemen in the Strip who could afford to, withheld their cattle from the market, while those that could not were forced to suffer further losses.

Jones. Jim ran away and joined a circus and worked in the circus for several years. One morning James woke up to find everyone except animals gone. The sheriff came to repossess every thing, but he left six horses for Jim. An old family friend, Mr. Payne, first met Jim when he came to get the horses for the calvary. Payne led James to Woods County, Oklahoma where Cpt Payne was involved with Camp Starvation , and Jim might have

75

been with him. Payne rode to Fort Supply to get Custer and they rescued the starving soldiers. Cpt Payne to James to settle on the unassigned lands in Oklahoma, and Jim made the first Old Oklahoma Land Run, out of Dover, Ok. He was 27 years old. Then Jim was riding stage between Wichita and Caldwell, Kansas. Next James was a cowboy running herds of beef cattle along the Chisholm Trail. One of James Jones' best friends was Mr. Lillie, better known as "Pawnee Bill." Jim worked as a cowhand for the Quinlan Brothers on their 2S Ranch along the Cimarron River. Their brand looked like this, 2-S, and was called the "Belt Buckle" brand.

Aunt Ethey & her friend were living in Waynoka & their transportation was an old automobile. The headlights on this automobile were big, round, brass things that opened & were lit by a match. These headlights ran on carbide that looke like a rock, but when water was applied it produced a gas that would burn & make light. Grandpa Jim Jones could not get the headlights to work. A young cowboy who worked for Grandpa Jones lite those headlights up & Grandpa was so impressed by his intelligence, that he had that young cowboy drive the girls into Waynoka. He told him not to come home that night, but to sleep in the carriage house & come back the next day. That young cowboy was Roy Arney, and that was how he first met his future wife, Ethel Burt Jones.

Charles Jones Uncle Harold and the goat--as told by Ted D. Jones Added by CherylJONES32 on 2 Jun 2007 …Grandmother Sadie Jones had went to see her people near Ames, Oklahoma & going with her were Aunt Alice, Uncle Harold, & my dad, Ted S. Jones. Dad was very young & he loved to play with Grandma's goats. Dad had a goat that pulled a cart at home, but he wanted one at Gandma's. He put up a howel for one of the goats & Uncle Harold bought one for a dollar. Sometime later Uncle Harold came home to visit his mother & he was driving a rag topped Model A. Uncle Harold looked out the window & the goat was standing on the trunk lid of his car eating leaves off a tree that the car was parked under. Harold went out of the house shouting for the goat to get off his new car, but all the goat did was to jump up on the top of the car where its hooves tore through the rag top, letting the goat fall to the inside of the vehicle. Once inside the goat really caused some havoc and Uncle Harold rushed outside & let the scared goat out. Then he chased the goat around the yard, yelling that he was going to kill it and my dad, being a little boy, was bawling and chasing after Uncle Harold screaming, "Don't you dare kill my goat!" Grandmother Sadie finally stopped the whole affair before it really got out of hand.

Notes: The Story of Albert Bobie or Uncle Reid's Spurs--as told by Ted D. Jones Added by CherylJONES32 on 4 Jun 2007 We first met Albert Dobie about 1964. He was an old man then, very thin with an extremely wrinkled face & working as a cowboy. He was my idea of what an old-time cowboy should look like. We spent many pleasant winter evenings at each other's homes with our wives playing cards. Albert owned his own horse and his own tack, but I never knew him to own a gun. He told us that half of his stomach and part of is intestine was gone. He always claimed if he stopped just a bit short of being full, he wouldn't get sick. On top of that Albert was becoming deaf as a post. My dad, Ted S. Jones, told this story about Albert. Albert always wanted to be a cowboy & when he was a young man he purchased a horse with all the tack, and a six-shooter. He went into back country & practiced his quick draw & shooting from the back of his horse. One time he drew his gun so quick that he got his shot off just a little too soon. Albert hit his horse in the back of the head & killed it instantly. Some cowboy he was! He'd shot his own horse out from under himself! I had been working in the sheriff's office for about five years when we had a very bad wind storm, with lots of rain & hail. The Waynoka, OK area had been hit very hard & about 9 a.m. the next morning we were notified of a dead man out North of Waynoka where the old Mexican Town had been. On my arrival I discovered it was Albert. He had rented some land out there to kept his horse & everyday he went out to feed & care for it. This morning when he went out after the storm there was an electric wire blown down

93

onto the wet ground. It was sizzling & hissing, but Albert was so deaf that he couldn't hear the noise. When he stepped on the wire he was killed. I purchased Albert's spurs from his daughter & when I showed them to my Aunt Alyc(Jones) Barker I really got a surprise! Aunt Alyce told me she had had an auction & had sold some stuff. That was the first time I ever heard of that & it must have happened when I was in the service. She remembered that it was Albert Dobie who had bought her husband's, Uncle Reid Barker's, spurs. Now after many years I have the spurs back. How Uncle Reid Lost His Fingers Added by CherylJONES32 on 4 Jun 2007 Everyone in the family could see that Uncle Reid had lost two fingers and the first joint of his thumb on his right hand. Not everyone knows the story of how he lost them, but one day his wife, my Aunt Alyce told me how it happened. Uncle Reid, his brother and Uncle Dan Jones were putting on some sort of rodeo just to entertain themselves and the neighbors. The old rodeo grounds are where the Waynoka football fields are today. Uncle Reid roped a big old mule and when he dallied his rope around the saddle horn, he got his hand caught in the wraps of rope. When that old mule pulled the rope taught it cut off Uncle Reid's fingers & half his thumb just like a knife going through butter. Uncle Reid was taken to old Doc Clapper's office & the Doc said that he'd sew the fingers back on if anyone could find them, but those fingers had been stomped into the dusty ground by that crazy mule & no one would ever find them.

Notes: Dan Bruce Jones is a retired restaurant chef in Amarillo, Texas Dan Jones--A Harvey House Cook (from The Harvey Girls by Leslie Piling-Kempes) Added by CherylJONES32 on 4 Jun 2007 Dan Jones was a night cook at the Waynoka Harvey House in the 1920s. His father had run the Cherokee Strip and still had a farm outside of town. But like so many farmers before them, the Joneses' farm came into bad times in the early 1920s, and they had to send young Dan, just sixteen, into Waynoka to find work. He cooked nights at the lunch counter, serving railroad crews and local ranchers who came in for a late supper or early breakfast. (The Santa Fe depot and Harvey House were opened twenty-four hours a day.) "Some of the local people gave the Harvey Girls a hard name they didn't deserve," Dan says: Not the railroadmen, or the passengers. Just the local people who thought they must be "bad" to be single and away from home. People didn't accept working girls then the way they do now. I got to know all of those girls. They were my best friends, and like women everywhere, some were nice, some were quiet, some were wild once in a while. Since I was the night cook, I's have to let one in sometimes. They'd stay out past their ten o'clock curfew & get locked out. I'd let them in through the kitchen. There wasn't much for a girl to do here, especially if she was used to Wichita or Kansas City lifef. They'd get bored. The wildest thing they could do was sneak out at night--climb out an upstairs window & shimmy down a tree, & then sneak back in again!

Notes: Teddy Sturgeon Jones was a railroader for 20 years, then Chief of Police in Waynoka, OK. Jobs of Teddy S. Jones --as told by his son, Ted D. Jones Added by CherylJONES32 on 5 Jun 2007 Dad and Mom were married on May 3, 1938. That same year he worked the harvest for Uncle Reid Barker & fell of the harvester & broke his ribs. As soon as they were healed he went to work for the Railroad Ice Company. Ted was only 19 years old. He worked for them for 11 years & during that time he drove the big yellow ice truck delivering ice to Alva, Woodward & other places inbetween these rural Oklahoma towns. In the days before refrigerators people had ice boxes. If ice was needed a car-tag sized cardboard sign with the word "Ice" on it was placed in the window of the homes & the ice man (Dad) in a yellow Railway Ice Co. Pick-up drove up & down the streets delivering blocks of ice. When the ice was taken into homes it was in block form. It came from the ice plant in 100 pound blocks which the ice man quartered into 25 pound blocks for delivery. In the summer time kids would follow the ice truck & when Dad chipped the ice he'd give the flakes to the kids. The Cunningham kids got to taking their pocket knives & chipping off the corners of the ice blocks. Before long customers were complaining that they weren't getting their full 25 pounds of ice. A boy nicknamed after

96

his dad, Chief Murry, would get up in the back of the pick-up where it was cool & ride. In return for his ride he would carry a big stick & whack the other kids when they came to close. Dad did this for over a year. Then he became a forman for the ice plant until it closed. For the next two years he drove a bull wagon for Tommy Davidson & then he went to work for the Santa Fe Railroad. Dad was given the job of greasing the huge stream engines. The only job he ever quit on was that one of greasing steam engines. He said that even wearing two pairs of overalls, the grease soaked through to his skin & even when he got home & took hot baths he couldn"t get that thick, black grease off. The day he quit he was offered a job on the Rip track. He worked for the Santa Fe Railroad for 11 years. When the rip track, a repair station for box cars was no longer needed he & a lot of other men were laid off from work. Dad then went to work for the Police Department of Waynoka, Woods Co., Oklahoma & retired 20 years later as the Chief of Police.

Notes: From the Kahoka Library, Kahoka, Missouri – Amos Ash married Addie Jones on June 1, 1884. She was born March 31, 1868 and died May 17, 1885, Barber County, Kansas. They had one son Andy born May 17, 1885 and died November 3, 1885. Amos Ash moved to Barber County, Kansas in the 1880’s. He and another man shot quail for approximately a quarter a week and sold them to the hotel. This money enabled them to buy the shot, flour, salt and other essentials they needed. Before his death, he had amassed over 2,000 acres and quite a sum for money. He was a good horse trade and cattle raiser. After his death, Belle, his wife, bought a house in town and gave the farm to their son Elmer. Belle Wiley and her family came to Barber County from Ellsworth around 1883. Amos and Belle were married in 1889 and had ten children, seven of whom survived to adulthood. After the death of Amos’ mother, his father came to live with them for about 14 years until his death. Harry Ash had one vivid remembrance – when he was a boy his father was going to whip him for something he had done. His grandfather Ash had a cane and appeared barely able to get around on it. However, he decided Harry didn’t need the whipping and went after his son. It must have been some picture. The old granddad after his son with a cane who was after his son. Re Hazel Smith’s memories – “Us 4 oldest children were born in a dugout.” Amos Ash hauled brick from Harper, Kansas to build the Opera House. Re Hazel Smith’s memories – “I remember when Ruth and Helen died. Ruth had spinal mengitus. She was sick so mutch. She with Dad and Mother came to our house. The men went to town. While they were gone Ruth’s tempeture came up. So Mother was ready when Dad came. Now this I’ll never forget. She held on the door knob and I said now Ruthie be a good girl and come back and see the baby. She said I’ll not come see her anymore, I’ll just take her home with me. You can’t have her back. You know that’s the last she ever said to me. She died and in a few minets Little Helen died. She had

128

whooping cough, busted an artery and that was it, she took her home. They were boath buried in the same casket. (Followed the exact spelling from her letters.) Barber County Index, February 14, 1917 Josephine Ruth Ash. Josephine Ruth Ash, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Amos Ash who reside five miles south of Medicine Lodge, died Wednesday, February 7th. She was indisposed about two weeks with a severe cold which developed into pneumonia five days before her death. She was born June 23, 1910, and was 6 years, 7 months and 14 days of age when called to her home “Over There”. Little Ruth was an exceptionally bright girl, a joy and comfort to her parents and a beloved companion to her playmates. Her sadden (sudden?) death is indeed sad and lamentable.

Obituary Isabel Ash, daughter of Joseph and Rebecca Wiley, was born on December 9, 1871, at Ellsworth, Kansas. In 1879 her parents, with their family, moved to Barber county. She joined the Christian church at an early age and an active member as long as she was able. In 1888 she was united in marriage to Amos Ash. To this union ten children were born. Her husband and four children preceded her in death. Those left to mourn her passing are Orrin Ash, Elmer Ash, and Mildred Snyder or Medicine Lodge, Harry Ash of Value, Ore., Hazel Smith of Neodesha and, Annie Duncan; 19 grandchildren and five great grandchildren. Two sisters, Lucy Haner of Sheridan Lake, Colo., and Pearl Jaquith of Wichita and a host of friends. She was a wonderful mother, a good friend and neighbor and will be missed by many. Amos Ash The saga of Amos Ash would read as an Horatio Alger story. From a young boy growing up in the post-war Missiouri area, he moved in 1884 to the virgin land of promise, following closely on the heels of his favorite sister's family. He evidently arrived around the wintertime where he and a good friend shot quail for the Medicine Lodge Hotel, earning 25 cents a dozen, which paid for their shot and staples. They quickly erected a dugout near where in later years he and his own family would live. Mr. Ash hauled brick from Harper to build the Opera House. Mr. Ash returned late that spring to his boyhood home, Clark County, MO., where he married Addie Jones, a childhood sweetheart. The newlyweds returned to his new home in Kansas. The rigors of pioneer life proved fatal to Addie, and their infant son, Andy, when they both died shortly after Andy's birth. In a couple of years, Amos pledged his lot with Miss "Belle" Wiley. From their humble beginnings, the Ashes carved out an enviable estate in life. To enrich this life to the highest degree, they were blessed with ten children. Amos Ash was in life a shrewd, honest judge of horseflesh, cattle, land, and the value of the dollar. From his simple 12 1/2 cent a week beginning, he amassed over two thousand

132

acres of land and a sizable cash reserve. At a time in history when credit was non-existent, Amos was so known for his honesty that he could charge his grocery bill, paying it yearly. Amos and his wife, Belle, were devout members of the Medicine Lodge Christian Church. Doubtless this strong, lasting faith carried them through numerous tragedies - the loss of their three small girls, May, Grace and Ruth; plus the loss of property in several tornadoes and fires. In December, 1940, they were called on again to mourn the loss of their son, Arthur Earl, "Bud", who died at age 33, leaving his wife, Bertha (Snyder) and young family. A year later the family lost its patriarch. The old rancher being unable to win the battle agains what is even today the most dread of diseases - succumbed. To mourn him he left his wife and children: Orrin, born 1889,(married Gladys Aultman); Mrs. Ed (Anna) Duncan, born 1890; Harry, born 1892, (married Lyla Mason Cook); Mrs. George (Hazel) Smith, born 1894 - previously she was married to John Lindsay, deceased; Elmer, born 1901, (married Dolly Fillman); and Mrs. Herman (Mildred) Snyder, born 1904. Since the demise of Amos Ash, all his family except Hazel and Mildred have been called to their final reward and all except Elmer and Anna are buried in Highland Cemetery - the final resting place of the Ashes. Truly the Ashes and their kin have a right to be proud of such an industrious, honest ancestor - Amos Alexander Ash.

Notes: Orrin Ash had a collapsed lung due to developing pneumonia in the after spending a day butchering in the rain. They had to operate to save his life and mistakenly left glaze inside the wound. They were in the Phoenix area for awhile and later had to travel to the Mayo Brothers Clinic to save his life. Note from Lyla Ash Dove – one of my mother’s favorite stories was when she told her brother-in-law he should have a Jeep (as he rode around the ranch in his car). He then told her the story of when he borrowed Herman Snyder’s Jeep to go to the post office after riding around in the country. (Due to his injury, he could not wear a belt). He got out of the Jeep and his pants fell to his feet. He had literally jogged himself out of his clothes. That was his last ride in a Jeep.

The Barber County Index Source:Chosen Land - Barber County, Kansas, pg. 145 …By 1939 a romance was budding with Eilene Melton of Gerlane, whom Franklin had known many years. She was the daughter – second of four children – of Erwin and Nellie (Colborn) Melton…Eilene Pindexter and Dillman Ash were married November 17, 1979. Emory Miller The Miller family came to Lake City, Kansas, from Linn County, the fall of 1911. There were seven children living at home. We later moved to Aetna, then in 1917 we moved to the Union Chapel Community. I (Emory) am the youngest son of William and Mary (Danner) Miller. I was born in Canada. I met Joy Williams, oldest of seven children of Otice and Lina (Ball) Williams, at Union Chapel. The Chapel was built on an acre of land in the southeast corner of the Willims place, given to the community for that purpose. There were many young folds in the area and we enjoyed dances, literary, picnics, Sunday School, and dinners. It was about 12 miles southwest of Medicine Lodge. It was at Union Chapel where we began our Christian Life, as did our four children. I joined the Methodist Church and Joy joined the Christian Church in Medicine Lodge. When Joy and I met, we were in the 5th grade at Elwood School. Joy went three years at Medicine Lodge High School. The Williams family moved to Hugoton and Joy

147

completed high school there. She taught school two years. We were married in Hugoton, Kansas May 18, 1927, and moved back to Medicine Lodge. We raised the four children: Otice Louis, Emory Jene, Lina Beth (Ash) Hickey, and Joy Corine Shinkle. When Corine was in second grade, Joy returned to teaching in the rural schools, then taught kindergarten 16 years in Medicine Lodge. She loved every pupil, they were her pride and joy. She retired in 1971 and now helps the Union Chapel ladies' project - the quiet - 'My Bible Book,' for children. In 1947 we moved into town, and our children all graduated from MLHS. In 1968 we had an antique auction, then took a vacation covering 6,000 miles. We attended the Miller reunion at Eureka, Illinois, then to Chicago, Detroit, Michigan – to Niagra Falls, and Buffalo, New York. We visited our nephew at Rochester, Minn., saw Erie Canal, Finger Lakes, many vineyards and the Eastman Estates. Around the northeast of the Great Lakes, we took the Thousand Island boatride on the St. Lawrence River, and entered Canada. We saw Medicine Hat, Glacier Park, crossed the Rockies and visited another nephew at Wenatchee, Washington. On the Columbia River we watched the salmon on the fish ladder. There was lots of fruit, we even canned some, then home. We've enjoyed several travels since this one. We have had 18 grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren. After all these travels Medicine Lodge is still HOME - No place like it!

Harry Ash One of the last of the pioneering blood was Harry Ash, who on several occasions aided in the settling of the wild frontier of Alaska. In the late twenties the lure of Alaska proved too great to the redblodded man who helped establish numerous airfields. Not even the beauty and serenity of his native Barber County could hold this pioneering spirit long when he again returned to Alaska to help clear the fabulous Matanuska Valley near Anchorage. He was one of the first colonists; but considering the living conditions insufficient, he returned to the United States. The first settlers into the valley wintered in tents and were amazed in the spring at the crops the ground produced - heads of cabbages as big as a man's head, strawberries about the size of a woman's fist. The pioneers learned, however, that due to the moistness of the permafrost, their hay had to be put on forks, much as they do in the Scandinavian countries. He couldn’t remain away from Alaska, as the pull was still there; and for his final sojourn in the wilds, he worked for a gold mining company. On a break in his duties, his life took a fairy book turn when he met and in a few days married the girl of his dreams, Lyla Mason Cook. To doubly bless this union was her daughter from a former marriage, Jeannette Cook, and a daughter of their own, Lyla. Harry Joseph Ash was born a native son of Barber County on April 14, 1892, son of Amos and Belle (Wiley) Ash. He attended the Pleasant Hill School, which had been previously attended by his mother and her sisters. As was customary in the family, his education did not end at the formal level, but continued throught the eighty years of his life. He served his country well, being a volunteer in the War to End all Wars. He, his wife and daughter returned to Barber County in 1945, where later she, the daughter, also attended Pleasant Hill. In 1948 they moved to Jewell County, but remained in Kansas most of the rest of his life, the only exception being when his wife taught in Oregon. As he was a retired farmer, he went with her. On the 23rd of July, 1972, he passed from this life and was placed for his everleasting rest near the tomb of his beloved parents. The County can well be proud of this man who carried on the pioneering spirit of their forebearers, and the young can take heed that, in truth, those days will never end. Source: Chosen Land - Barber County, Kansas, pg. 89 Lyla Grace Ash Lyla Grace Ash, 78, died Monday, Dec. 17, 1984 at her home in Sierra Vista. Mrs. Ash moved to Sierra Vista in 1979 from Phoenix. She was a member of the Daugthers of the American Revolution and the VFW. She was also a retired elementary school teacher, having taught in Kansas and Oregon. Mrs. Ash was preceded in death by her husband, Harry Ash, in July 1972. She is survived by her daughters, Jeannette Yost, of San Diego, Calif., and Lyla Dove, of Sierra Vista; five granddaughters and four great-grandchildren. Interment will be by Forsyth Funeral Home in Medicine Lodge, Kan. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made in her memory to the American Heart Association.

Bob and Janis (King) Smith’s wedding

Kathleen Finnimore Peter Michael Lindsey Clipping from Neodesha, Kansas newspaper Harry R. Lindsey, Gunners Mate 1st class of the U.. Navy, copped in at the News office Monday to say hello and thank us for the News. Harry has been in the Navy about three and one-half years and has been in much active service. He has a bar and one star for North Atlantic patrol and one bar with three stars for South Pacific duty. He was on a destroyer. The stars indicate major engagements he has participated in. The Silver Star Medal he wears on his breast under these bars is the one thing Harry is most proud of, and has ever right to be. This medal was received in February for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action during a shore bombardment of enemy positions on Tanambogo Island on August 8, 1942, when a breech explosion occurred on a 20 mm. gun, injuring the two men of its crew and setting fire to the partially filled magazine. Lindsey, whose regular station was on a nearby machine gun, quickly jumped across the deck, and with the assistance of a shipmate, threw the magazine over the side. Harry said that he also

176

had the pleasure of personally knocking down two Jap planes with a 20 mm. machine gun that were attacking their destroyed. He was in the Solomons area nine months. Harry also said that he saw Acie King Feb. 18 of this year at New Caledonia. Acie formerly worked in Neodesha at the Register as a linotype operator and was on the aircraft carrier Wasp when it was sunk by the Japs. This was the first word Neodesha friends had heard of Acie since the carrier was put out of action and will be most pleasant news, as it was feared he had been lost with his ship. Lindsey left Tuesday after a short leave visiting here with his mother, Mrs. Hazel Smith, other relatives and friends, and will report to Washington D.C. where he will receive advance training in gunnery. Mighty glad to have seen you Harry and write us a letter when you find time.

Notes: We [Mr. and Mrs. Roy Culley] built the Pageant Drive-in in 1953 and opened April 1, 1953. Roy [Culley] had a heart attack on the Saturday before. He wasn't able to work anymore. He was in and out of the hospital until November 20, 1955, when he left our good earth. Bob Ash came to us when he was 14 as janitor of the Pastime and worked his way up to operator in the booth at the Pastime. He then went to the Korean war in 1950, spending two years and coming back to the theaters. Over there he was movie operator for the films they took of the war. We have helped many youths through high school. Donna Hamilton, our second long-time popcorn girl, started to work for us when she was 12, working and finishing high school, and staying with me as popcorn girl for 28 years. After we built the drive-in theater, she and Bob Ash fell in love and got married. The two of them made a career of 'show biz' and have their own shows. I, Mae Culley, spent 42 years as cashier and manager, 10 in our shows. Every year was a miracle, and I still say: "There's no business like show biz."

One of my good friends at the Grand, Dad Reddish, used to take me to the movies before I could go by myself It was usually on a Saturday afternoon, and we would walk up to the Pastime, he would buy his ticket, and we would go down the left aisle, where there were two seats marked for us with a notch cut out of the back of my seat. We would always enjoy the movie and go back to the Grand in the early afternoon. My folks would take me to the movie on Sunday afternoon. It was always a good one, just out, that everyone wanted to see. Then as we got a little older, my friends Wayne Davis, Jim Moore, and Herbert Dale Smith and I would go to the westerns on Saturday afternoons. We would sit on the front row and help Hopalong Cassidy, Gene Autry, Charles Starrett, and Roy Rogers fight off the bad men. The Pastime Theater was remodeled again, and this time soft seats were put in, My friend, Bob Ash, ran the projector. Donna Hamilton, who later became his wife, popped the popcorn, which we had to have to enjoy the movie. Hutchinson News, December 11, 2004, John F. Hamilton, Sr. …John R.
