Victim’s tombstone from Quantr i l l ’s raid saved A number of people led by Lecompton Historical Soci-ety President Paul Bahnmaier removed two tombstones on the Kansas River bank east of Lecompton and took them to the Maple Grove Cemetery west of town July 24. One of the stone markers belonged to a man killed in Quantrill’s raid on Lawrence in 1863. The other was a youth who drowned in the river. Workers from the city and township of Lecompton did the heavy lifting while news report-ers and a television camera recorded the event. During Quantrill’s Lawrence raid Aug. 21, 1863, James O’Neil was killed and his body returned to his home in Lecompton. He was buried in the old pioneer cemetery known as Bald Eagle Cemetery located on a bluff overlooking the Kansas River. In 1942, a rock company purchased the land including the cemetery with its 10 graves. The O’Neil family gravestone and another belonging to a Lane University student were moved to the side of the property. The gravestones eventually disap-peared. Recently, Robert Parker, an adjacent landowner, was scout-ing in the woods near the old cemetery and came across two gravestones in an overgrown brush pile. Dr. Chad and Amy Gustin, the current property owners of the 32-acre site, called Bahnmaier at the Lecompton
