Hi. I've asked a couple of times and have not gotten a response. Do you have any pictures of the Sauer family? Thank you.
Do you have any pictures of the Sauer family?
A video was made and posted of a walk-thru of Sauer Castle and the sadness it brings to see the bad state it is in. Do you have pictures of the Sauer family that you can post? Do you know if they have any relatives left in KCK?
This goes along with a previous post about Victory Hills. Victory was brand new in this pic. You can see the clubhouse, newly planted sapplings, cars from late '20's or early '30's and my great-grandfather, Joe Butler, on the green (putting), as his good friend, Frank Holcomb, looks on. Notice those snappy "plus 4s" & argyle stockings.🙂
Good Morning; I thought I would share this picture. This is my Great Grandmother Ida Florence Hicks. This portrait was made somewhere around 1892. Ida is 18. The family lived in Stony Point. Middle of nowhere. Ida died in 1907 at the age of 35-36 due to German Measles. Her baby would die 2 months later. They are buried at Stony Point Cemetery. I can't help but wonder where this portrait was made considering where they lived. Was it perhaps a traveling photographer with a horse and wagon? There is no name on the picture telling who made it. This is the only picture of Ida in existence except for a copy that my cousin has. I also have photos from Stony Point School as well as the 8th grade graduating class of 1912.
The American Cemetery in Margraten, Netherlands is the final resting place for over 8,000 U.S. soldiers/airmen and over 1,700 who are memorialized on the wall of missing. For the past 15 months I (along with some great help from Sherrie Smith from Hays, Kansas) have been searching for and trying to locate 46 pictures of Kansas soldiers/airmen whose picture had not been located for the “Faces-of-Margraten” project. To this point all but 12 have been located!! The Dutch have not forgotten their liberators!!!

How do they check the dam after 83 years? Any idea how deep it is? 😃
Originally called the Wyandotte, Kansas City, and Northwestern, this road ended up being called by at least three different names, last of which was Kansas City and Northwestern. The chartered route was to head into Nebraska, but it was built out through Independence, and on to Lexington, Mo, to siphon the tremendous traffic from the river steamers, which put in there, this shaving 3-5 days off getting their cargoes into Westport. This was deemed a violation of the charter, and the route was divested. The original route was constructed much later, and suffered financial hardships for the entire short existence of the line, being abandoned just after WWI, and the rails pulled in the early 1920's.
I've managed to get several items of ephemera, from the line, one of the more unusual of which being this late 1880's pamphlet, promoting the route, as well as it's northern terminus, Beatrice, Nebraska. A good source of information is "Missouri Pacific Northwest", by Imre Quastler, now out of print.
