Text Any textual data included in the document Biographical Sketch of the Life of Albert Minnich Few men in this section are more widely or favorably known than the subject of this sketch, Mr. A. Minnich. Born in Trenton, Tuscarawas county, Ohio, March 29, 1842, the son of a prosperous merchant (Mr. Jno. Minnich, Sr.) he early inbibed a taste for merchant le pursuits, and the age when most boys are engaged with their marbles, tops, etc., found him behind his father's counter in the capacity of clerk, and, in due course of time, as the Book-keeper for the firm of Minnich & Sons, his father being senior member of the firm, as well as one of the oldest settlers of the Tuscarawas Valley. In 1862 Mr. A. Minnich was united in marriage to Miss Hannah Tucker, and in 1871, with his family, he moved to Derby (then called El Paso,) where he and his brother, John H. Minnich, erected the first store building and opened a full and complete general stock of goods. Later, his brother, J. H., withdrew and Albert continued as sole proprietor of one of the most successful stores of the county. In 1884 Mr. Minnich found his business had increased so as to compel him to provide more room, in consequence of which, he erected, just north of the old site, one of the finest store rooms in the county, where he is still conducting a large and prosperous business. When Mr. Minnich began business in Derby (then El Paso,) Newton was the nearest Railroad station. Wichita being only a small village of a few small houses, and as El Paso was only a stage station and a little trading post on the old trail, much might be said concerning the struggles incident to those early times, but space will not permit. Although Mr. Minnich may be considered a very conservative man, he is ever found among the foremost in all matters touching the progress and upbuilding of his community, while his hand is alway, wide open to every worthy charity. In politics he is an uncompromising Republican - from principle, not merely from impulse - always taking an active part in local politics. For many years he held the office of Justice of the Peace, and to his honor, it is said that he succeeded in settling, by arbitration or compromise, far more cases than were brought to trial before him. On the 5th day of Jan., 1888, Mr. Minnich was stricken with paralysis, effecting his right side, and rendering him speechless, since which sad event his business has been under the management of his son, Bert Minnich. In his sad afflict on Mr. Minnich is surrounded by a loving family consisting of a wife, one son and three daughters. As his mind is perfectly clear, and his memory good, nothing pleases him better than a visit from his old friends. He enjoys their conversation quite as well as ever, and through the members of his family (who understand him quite well) he is able to express himself quite fully. He still supervises, in a general way, his business. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Text Any textual data included in the document “Carrie Nation Again” With Three Companions She Smashes Some Windows Carrie Nation, Mrs. Myra McHenry, Mrs. Lucy Wilhoite and Mrs. Lydia Mountz were arrested yesterday afternoon about 5 o’clock and taken to the city jail, where they are charged with the destruction of two large windows, the property of the Mahan Supply company. Armed with hatchet, axe, hammer and stones, the four women proceeded quietly down a back street to the office of the Mahan Supply company on Rock Island avenue. The company had received notice from the police station to be on their guard, and when Mrs. Nation and her assistants appeared there were four or five men standing before the doors to keep them from entering the building. When the leader found that she would not be permitted to enter the building she opened her satchel and took out two stones, which she threw, breaking the glass out of the large office window. Mrs. McHenry, who was armed with a hammer, made an attempt to break out another window but was frustrated in the attempt by one of the officers. A large crowd collected and a telephone message was sent to the police station for the patrol. Until the arrival of the officers, Mr. Mahan succeeded in holding Mrs. Nation so that she was unable to throw any more stones. Upon the arrival of the patrol the women were placed in the wagon and on the way to the station hundreds of people followed hooting and yelling and calling loudly the name of Carrie Nation. Arrived at the station the four prisoners were locked in a cell on the lower floor. Immediately after their confinement in the cell a short prayer service was held, the women knelling on the cement floor. At the conclusion of the prayer service a hymn was sung, after which they proceeded to investigate their surroundings. Mrs. Nation stepped quickly to the iron door and through the grating addressed an Eagle reporter who was standing just outside. “It seems to me this cell is rather damp. Can’t you get us a better one? I am getting very hoarse already from this dampness, and I know that there are better cells than this one in the building.” Upon being reminded that she was in the city prison instead of the county jail, Mrs. Nation said: “Oh, yes. I am mistaken. It was at the county jail where I stayed a month. This is my first trip to the city jail.” The cell in which the women were placed had been thoroughly cleaned out earlier in the day, and in one or two little places there was some water standing in the slight indentations in the floor. Failing to procure a different cell, Mrs. Nation opened her hand satchel and produced a dressing sacque with which she proceeded to mop the floor. “We could do nothing but what we did today,” she said. “God called us to do this work. There were nine cases on the court docket this morning, and we feel that we shall have too much to answer for if we sit quietly by and see such deadly work go on. The only way to accomplish our ends is to smash the hell keepers’ places. “What have they done with my hatchet?” she demanded suddenly, her eyes sparkling. “They have no right to that hatchet, and when I get out they must return it to me. I have work to do with it. I did not get to use my hatchet today. Oh, no. I did not have to. I used stones.” “That reminds me,” broke in Mrs. McHenry. “I had a hammer and it is one that I do not wish to lose. I cleaned out Derby with it, and upon the handle of it is, ‘Used by Myra McHenry when she cleaned out Derby.’ I hope they will take care of that hatchet because I want to keep it always.” It was suggested to Mrs. Nation that an entrance fee be charged and the crowd outside be allowed to come in and see her. When the reporter said this, Mrs. Nation turned and said: “Yes, I expect we could make money, but I’m not in the menagerie. I may be some day, but I am not on exhibition now. I would not do it even if there were people on the outside with $300 to pay as a fee of admission.” Mrs. Nation, Mrs. McHenry and Mrs. Wilhoit appeared to be excited and elated over their venture, but Mrs. Mountz say by herself in one corner of the room with an exceedingly thoughtful and, albeit, wistful look on her countenance. The frst three having had previous experience, did not seem to feel badly about being in jail, but on the contrary were very jolly and talkative. When it became known over the city that Mrs. Nation and her companions were locked up in the city jail, immense crowds gathered and it required the assistance of several policemen to clear the office of the police department. Charles Prince, a man about 36 years of age, asked if he could put up a bond for the women and he was told by the chief that any bond would not be accepted. He then went outside the office, where he is charged with having made some profane remarks about the policemen. He was arrested and locked in a cell on the lower floor. The four women are being detained at the station until warrants are issued for them in the city court, when they will be removed to the county jail.

Text Any textual data included in the document “Death of Old Settler.” R. A. Neely Was a Pioneer in Wichita. Another one of the early settlers of Wichita has joined the larger number who have passed to the beyond. R. A. Neely died at his home, 1431 North Market street at 7 a. m. yesterday. Notice of the funeral will be given later. R. A. Neely came to Wichita in the summer of 1870. He took a claim on the east side of Chisholm creek, south of the Black place, and proved it up. He afterwards sold the place and went to derby to engage in the grocery business with L. E. Vance. Neely & Vance did a large business with the first settlers in that section of the county. After Mr. Neely went to Derby, then called El Paso, he was elected to the office of county commissioner, which was the only office he ever held. His success as a merchant in these early days was limited because of his liberality. Many of the early settlers were not very well fixed in the wealth of this world’s goods, but they all had credit at R. A. Neely’s store. In the early seventies the business men of Derby were John Hufbauer, J. Haut Minnich, Albert Minnich, R. A. Neely, L. E. Vance, Dr. H. C. Tucker and George H. Litzenberg. Hufbauer, Neely, J. Haut Minnich and Dr. H. C. Tucker are dead. Albert Minnich is in Ohio and George H. Litzenberg lives in this city. L. E. Vance came to Wichita with a team in the early eighties, since which time he has never been heard from. In the early days when the merchants above named held forth in Derby it aspired to be the big city of the Arkansas valley. They have a rock bottom in the Arkansas river at that point in the early seventies the Derbyites used to worry the Wichita town builders by writing letters to the Eagle and claiming that all of the railroads that came into this valley would have to come to Derby to cross the river at the only rock bottom ford on that stream between the mountains and the gulf of Mexico. The people actually had faith in that rock ford and were surprised when the Santa Fe finally came and crossed the Arkansas where Mulvane is now located and at the widest place in the stream. They found out that the railroads did not care for rock fords and did not go an inch out of their way for the Arkansas river, but crossed it wherever they pleased. R. A. Neely finally, like many others, concluded that Derby, or El Paso, was not going to make the big city of the Arkansas valley and he sold his property there and moved back to Wichita and went into the nursery business. He was generous and made friends wherever he went and has many of them in this county and city who will regret to hear of his death. R. A. Neely was born in Steubenville, Ohio, in 1836. He leaves a wife and three children to mourn his loss—William Neely of the Johnston-Larimer Dry Goods company, Harry C. Neely, commercial traveler, and Mrs. Gene Ketzler. Mr. Neely came to this part of Kansas at the time when men who did not possess nerve of the necessary strength for a frontiersman remained in the east. He was here when such men as Ledford, Curley Marshall, Rowdy Joe and Red were characters of the town, and he was an eye witness to some blood curdling scenes in the early frontier town. He was never the man to take the life of a fellow man, but the men who did not value human life were all about him. He had associated with the worst men on the frontier but he never lost that goodness of heart which was a part of his nature. When R. A. Neely is laid to rest the soil of this valley will cover the remains of a man who never betrayed a friend or intentionally injured a neighbor.

Text Any textual data included in the document Derby School House erected 1886 A Brief History of the Public Schools of Derby, Kansas. The first school meeting of District No. 6. was held at the house of John Hufbaur in El Paso at 2 p.m. April 6th 1872. At this meeting the district was organized, J. Hout Minnich elected, director; John Hufbaur, clerk; A. G. Burr, treasurer. At a meeting on the 4th of May 1872, the district voted to issue $1,500 in district bonds, for building a school house to be located in El Paso; a proposition to receive bids for building the house was advertised in the Wichita Vidette. On the 5th of June the bids were considered by the board, and the contract awarded to R. R. Costin at $1129.00, the house to be located on George Avenue. It was occupied by the school in the fall of that year and until 1886 when it was sold to the Evangelical Church. The first school of the district was taught by E. H. McClung for a term of three months commencing on the 11th of Sept. 1872 for which the teacher received $35.00 per month. Since then 23 teachers have guided the youth of the district with varied success. The highest wages paid was sixty and the lowest twenty dollars per month. Seventeen different men have served on the board of directors, among which we see the names of A. G. Burr who served six terms; A. Minnich, five terms; H. C. Tucker, four terms. The present house of which the above is a sketch, stands on a slight eminence at the east side of town, surrounded by a beautiful Blue grass lawn, upon which many young trees are growing. It was erected in 1886, at a cost of Twenty-five hundred Dollars. The present principal Mr. L. Lightfoot is in charge of the school the second time having taught here in 1888.
