I am doing research on the descendants of Peter Erlandson/Peterson who left Öland, Sweden in the year 1870 (approx.) and settled near the Smokey Hill River in McPherson County, Kansas in the town of Freemont.

Maria Mathilda apparently never married.
John Peter apparently maried my great aunt, Kristina Elisabet Svensson/Nilsson in Pueblo, Colorado. This branch is well documented.

McPherson County Mystery Woman

JohnWolfinger — 21 Mar 2007 2:13:13 GMT

Solloda M. Foye (1831-1897), oldest son of William and Jane Miller Foye (of Ohio), was, I assumed, a bachelor farmer until he is listed in the 1895 Kansas state census, in McPherson County, as having, evidently, a wife listed as A.V.T. Foye - a 55 year old white female born in Ohio, living with him. No mention of her in his May 13, 1897 Ohio obituary, and she disappears from subsequent census records. Does anyone know who she might have been - is she in a McPherson County cemetery? Or, might she have been a live-in "friend", who was politely listed with his last name?

Rosalie Essex CHAPIN (1888 - 1924) Obit

Tuesday, April 15, 1924

Rosalie May Essex was born April 16, 1888, and was adopted in childhood by Elisha and Mrs. Harriet Essex of McPherson, Kansas.

She joined the church when she was a girl and about ten years ago united with the McPherson Presbyterian church of which she has been a consistent member ever since. She was married September 19, 1905 to Archie D. Chapin to which union were born five children, all of whom survive here.

They are: Charles, eighteen years old, Ernest sixteen, James thirteen, Jennie May ten and Dorothy Maxine seven, all of whom survive their mother. Her mother, Mrs. Essex and her husband also survive and will keep the children together.

Mrs. Chapin has been a great sufferer for a few years but not a great complainer, for she bore her sufferings in a most remarkable way, thinking more of her family and the welfare of her little children than of herself. She departed this life April 11, 1924, 12:55 A.M. in McPherson.

The funeral service was held at the Presbyterian church Sunday afternoon, April 13, in the presence of a great company of friends of the family. Rev. L. H. Eakes, her pastor conducted the service. The large congregation and the many beautiful floral offerings were indications of her good favor among her acquaintances and friends. The ladies of the Degree of Honor of which Mrs. Chapin was a member, conducted the committal services at the cemetery.

The many friends of the family extend sympathy to the bereaved father and children.

Inman, KS Mennonite farmers

Cindy Sheets — 11 Aug 1999 12:00:00 GMT

I am searching for information on family members who immigrated from Russia to Inman, KS to farm. The family of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Kliewer and their daughter, Margaret Kliewer, came to America when Margaret was 12. She was born August 12, 1860 in Mariewhol, Russia. They were members of the Mennonite religion. Margaret's first husband was Cornelius Froese, and her second husband was Martin P. Riemer. (She also had two more husbands, Heinrich Janzen and Jacob Doerksen!)
I have fairly good records of their lives after they moved to Oklahoma, but would like more info about their lives in Kansas, and possibly information about their farm near Inman, in McPherson County.
Thanks!

Byron Dennis

Anne — 2 Jun 2005 11:42:06 GMT

I am trying to find info about Byron Dennis, who may have lived in McPherson around 1886.. The last record I have for him is the 1880 US Census, on which he lives in Rush, KS. At that time, the family consisted of Byron, his wife Nancy Zemira "Myra", and adopted daughters Joicee Lizzie and Lillie B. I think the family may have moved to McPherson before 1886 because Byron's son, George Albert Dennis, stated on his WWI draft registration that he was born in McPherson, KS, in 1886.

I believe that Byron died around 1888, but have been unable to find a death record for him. Family tradition says that he was murdered. His wife and two sons who were born in KS returned to Michigan. I've found no further record of the adopted daughters.

If anyone can find any info about this family in KS, what happened to the two adopted daughters, and especially the circumstances of Byron's death, I would be very grateful.
