Wyoming Tribune 8/14/1908

In 1910 Living with Jacob and Eva Moser
in Rocks Falls are Earl and Ida Fink who are
Mary Pearl Whitney Fink’s children (Oliver and Cordelia’s grandchildren).
Mary died in around 1905. Ida later lives
with Josephine Whitney Callwell another daughter of Oliver and
Cordelia in 1920. I just found it interesting that
these Fink children ended up with
Jacob and Eva. The children were born near St. Joe
and it seemed off these 6 and 8 year olds were
with great uncle and aunt.

Next, Clyde Phillips Nancy Whitney’s son lives with his AUnt Elsie Atkins in 1920 in Miami County KS. On the same page is Wendell Surface, grandson of Michael Surface , Rachael WHitney’s second husband. Recall that I think Rachael is Oliver P. Whitney’s aunt. Currently following this a bit to see if it leads anywhere. Other coincidences, Wendell has a daughter Elsie, Joseph Galladay’s first wife was an Atkins. Probably won’t go anywhere, but who knows.

there’s a new site with old wyoming newspapers. It has several referancing Josephine Callwell and Homer and Isaac Galladay. It also has notices of Josephine’s son Samuel Callwell’s death in action during WWI. Most are really short items or ppublication of land claims. Homer and Isaac seem to have witnessed qite a few of the land claims. Also, homer has one of his own. the site is http://www.wyonewspapers.org/

here’s another version of the murder trial of William “Crazy” Miller.

“Now an old timer has come to our rescue and tells of what was, without
a possibility of a doubt, the first grand jury session in the county.
Deacon H. D. Jayne has given us the facts of that historical court
term.
It was held in September 1880, soon after the county was organized. It
convened in the only enclosed building in Phelps Center, there being
only two other partially completed buildings in the old county seat at
that time. The dwelling they used as a court house was not yet finished,
it being necessary for them to meet in an upstairs room.
Judge Gaslin, now living in Alma was the judge and two men now living
in the county besides Mr. Jayne served on the Jury. They were J. A.
Dunlavy of this city and I. N. Swartwood, living northeast of Funk.
The mater before the jury was the murder of a man named Miller by a
gang of men on Spring Creek. Miller was shot in a quarrel at a threshing
bee and several men were implicated. The grand jury, however, made
the mistake of indicting one man to many, the inclusion of an innocent
party spoiling the whole case and letting all go free when the case
came up for trial before the district court.”

Slightly different. The several men include Samuel and Jacob Moser and James Sweezy.
