Excerpt from The Kansas Historical Quarterly, Vol. 17 Meanwhile, the locating committee Of the two companies was trav eling over the Kansas prairies in search of a townsite.

Winchell of New York, who settled in Osage county and later was president of the Wyandotte constitutional convention.

Excerpt from The Kansas Historical Quarterly, Vol. 19 The old Bernard home stands on the south bank of the Cotton wood near the mouth of French creek. To reach the place today it is necessary to leave the highway and drive through a field, fording a creek which is a short distance from the house. The original log cabin, the home of the Bernards in the earliest days, is still standing and still sturdy. It is On the very bank Of the river. The big house is in front of the cabin, a bit farther from the river. Part of the house has been torn down and moved out to the highway where it has been remodeled into a home for the present occupant of the farm. The rest of the house has fallen into decay. The huge fireplace built into the wall between the kitchen and dining room has been removed but the hearth is still there, and the long covered wood box beside it has not been disturbed. It is long enough to have been used for a bed and probably was a great many times. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
