Eli Geyer was born near Lexington, Missouri, October 17, 1858.
When but three years of age, his father passed away leaving the care of
the three brothers and one sister to the mother, who, as is the custom of widowed mothers,
managed, somehow, to keep the home intact and provided for her fatherless children as best
she could.
When quite a small lad, the deceased worked at odd jobs to help along,
being employed in a brick yard when too young to be strong enough to lift the bricks, but
could turn them over in the process of drying.
When nine years of age, he worked his way to Kansas by carrying water
for the men who built the railroad form Rich Hill, Missouri to Garnett, Kansas.
A few years later he was mail carrier by "Pony Express" from
Colony to Neosho Falls. After the railroads took over the mail service he became a farm
hand for the late Jonathan Davis, father of Ex-Governor Davis, where he worked for several
years.
Thus through hardships and privations incident to the early days, was
developed the sturdy, loyal citizen, Eli Geyer, noted for his fidelity to his family, his
honesty and integrity, among his friends and business associates.
Mr. Geyer was united in marriage to Miss Iantha Bloom of Spring Valley,
November 24, 1878.
Seven children - five daughters and two sons - were born to this union.
The oldest daughter, Lizzie, died in infancy.
Six children survive: Harry, of Bronson, Mrs. Clarinda McBee, Moran,
Mrs. Minnie Bartlett, of Bronson, Fred, of Bayard, Kansas, and Mrs. Maude Harris, of
Bronson, also twenty grand children and two great grand children.
Two brothers, Jacob of Clarkston, Washington, and Samuel of Woodburn,
Iowa also survive.
Mr. Geyer has lived in the Bronson and Bayard vicinities for many
years, and by patient industry and thrift had accumulated a comfortable competence, and
where, also he had the esteem of his many neighbors and friends.
The deceased was a valued member of the Masonic and Odd Fellow
fraternities of Bronson.
After a long and painful illness, patiently borne, he passed to rest
February 25, 1933, aged 74 years, 4 months and 8 days.
He leaves the devoted wife of his youth, and age, six children, twenty
grandchildren, two brothers and hosts of other relatives and friends to mourn the
departure, of a faithful companion, a loving father and grandfather and a true friend to
all, who would like to think that: "He is not gone, but just away."
The funeral was held at the Baptist church Monday afternoon. The Rev.
Edgar Cook of Neodosha preached the funeral sermon. Internment was made in the Bronson
cemetery.
DIED - Sat. March 10 '88, at his home near Delphos, Mr. Chas. Inman, age about 32 years, of consumption. He leaves a wife and several children.

Elizabeth Inman Shattuck was born on the 9th day of Jan. 1833 in Luzerne
County, Penn., and with her parents emigrated to the west and settled in Rock County,
Wis., in 1840, which was then almost a wilderness. After residing there ten years, they
moved to Alamakeee, Iowa, where she was united in marriage to Scott Shattuck on the 13th
day of November 1853 and lived there until 1860 when they came to this county where she
has resided ever since, with the exception of a few years in Colorado. There were eight
children of whom five are still living. Her sons, Frank and Fredrick, and two daughters,
Mary Trigg and Ella Palmer, are living in this vicinity and were with her to care for and
console her in the last moments. Her other daughter, Hattie Long, lives in Colorado and
could not be with her.
Sister Shattuck accepted Christ as her savior early in life and was
ever after a devoted Christian as she was a faithful and loving mother and she had full
confidence in the redeeming blood of Christ when she departed this life on the 26th day of
December 1900. -- Mrs. S. P. Thomas

Injuries of Three Weeks Ago Result in Death
The death of A. W. Inman occurred last Saturday afternoon,
the direct result of injuries received in an accident three weeks ago, when he
was thrown to the ground by an unruly horse. Mr. Inman was returning from church
at the time when a frightened horse ran into him and threw him to the ground,
breaking a shoulder and otherwise bruising and injuring him.
For a time he rallied from the shock and it was thougt that
his recovery would follow. Last week his condition again became serious and he
lost his strength rapidly. Death occurred about half past four Saturday
afternoon.
The funeral was held at the Methodist church Monday
afternoon, Rev. Randolph and Rev. M. A. Hughes having charge of the services.
The members of the G. A. R. assisted in the exercises at the grave.
Alonzo W. Inman was born in Medina county, Ohio, April 12,
1835. He was married April 3, 1867, at Laport, Mo., to Caroline Baldwin, who
with one son, Robert, survives. He came to Kansas about twenty years ago and
stopped for a time at Baldwin, later locating in Ottawa, where he lived until a
few years ago when he moved to Wellsville to make his home.
August 13, 1862, he joined Co. B, 124 Regiment of Ohio
Infantry Volunteers, serving in the army until June 15, 1865, when he was
discharged at Camp Dennison, O., on surgeon's certificate. He was wounded at
Pickett's Mills, Ga., May 28, 1864. His injuries resulted in the loss of a leg
and his crippled condition made it impossible to escape from in front of the
horse when he received the injuries that resulted in his death.

Scott
Shattuck, one of the pioneers of Scott township, died suddenly, Tuesday morning at the
home of his daughter, Mrs. H. L. Parmley, three and a half miles northeast of Parker. He
had been in his usual health up to within a very short time before his death, which is
thought to have been caused by heart trouble.
Mr. Shattuck's home was two and three-quarter miles southeast of Cadmus
where he had lived for nearly half a century. He was one of the leading and most highly
respected citizens of that community, and was always prominent in the affairs of his
township, taking an active part in things for the public welfare and for the development
of his community.
The funeral was held yesterday afternoon and burial took place in the
Cadmus cemetery. Deceased was in his 81st year. One son, three daughters, twenty-nine
grandchildren and six great-grand-children survive him.

MISS PIONEER SHOWS DETERMINATION
Hard work and campaigning for one community project or
another are nothing new to the woman selected as Baxter Springs' Miss Pioneer
for Cowtown Days this year. In fact, some might say that 85-year-old Emma Moore,
who barely stands five feet high and weighs about 100 pounds, has the spirit and
drive of a modern-day Carrie Nation.
Among her more recent endeavors, Mrs. Moore has stumped to
arouse interest in a senior citizen housing project; to save and repair the
Youth Center, the very building which many years ago she helped others establish
as a center for the youth; to get Meals on Wheels started here; and to help
secure a transportation van for senior citizens under the SEK-CAP program.
Her latest campaign is to have the Youth Center listed in the
National Register of Historic Places.
"I've been talking to a lot of old-timers to gather
information on the Youth Center - but there aren't too many of us around
anymore. And I've been trying to do too much lately. I'm going to have to let up
- at least until after Cowtown Days," Mrs. Moore said after a morning of canning
beets.
At 85, Emma still runs circles around people 50 years her junior.
The Rolla, Mo. native was born Jan. 25, 1894, as the middle
child in a family of 12. "There are only three of us left now - me and two
sisters, Oshie Penhall (sp) and Faye Buye (sp), of Miami.
"We lived on a farm and canned all of our own food. My father
was a real farmer and he knew how to save food. We hardly ever bought anything
at the store but sugar and coffee. Momma canned and dried fruit and we produced
our own meat."
Emma's first view of Baxter Springs was during her yeras as a
teenager when her family moved to Miami.
"We came through Baxter Springs in two covered wagons. My mom
and dad were in one and my brother and I in the other, and part of the younger
kids were in each wagon. We stopped at this old Youth Center. It was a livery
stable then. There was a blacksmith shop across the street and dad had to get
the horses shod.
"We camped just out of Commerce that night at the old Klu
Klux Klan place. That was a terribly hot summer and water was scarce. Then we
came on through Miami and, oh, Miami didn't look anything at all like it does
now. Neither did Baxter Springs. I just can't describe Baxter - but it was
really tough.
"I did my courting in horse and buggy days and had a lot of
fun as I grew up. And I still do.
"I attended the last teachers' normal that Miami ever had and
taught two terms in Oklahoma. I got my teachers' certificate in 1912 and taught
one year in Greenbriar and one year in Commerce."
She married Lon I. Moore in Miami in 1914.
"We came to Baxter Springs in 1929 and first had a filling
station. We settled on the same corner that I'm on right now. I've got the same
house, same telephone number and same address we had in 1929.
"When we first moved here, my husband was sick and couldn't
do much but supervise. I operated the pump - an old hand pump. Then we made
enough money to get an electric pump.
"Around '30 or '31 we turned it into a sandwich shop. At
first I sold fried chicken sandwiches and a drink for 25 cents. Then we put in
an ice cream freezer and had frosted malts, put in a nickelodeon and kids would
come and dance. It was mostly a kids' hangout.
"I feel like I helped raise a lot of kids other than my own.
Ivan Chubb said the other day he remembered when they used to come in and watch
their girls dance there."
Eventually the business became a doughnut shop which they
operated until Lon's death in 1971, nine years after their Golden Wedding
Anniversary.
Since then, Emma has been involved in one community project
after another, keeps up church and senior citizen functions, quilts, and cans.
"On these hot days though I take a little time to rest in the
heat of the afternoon and watch soap operas.
"I have had a wonderful life, and I've had plenty of rough
spots too, but I've learned to do the best you can with what you have and not to
be wasteful. It breaks my heart to see anything wasted."
