July 1

Drove west and a little south from MO to KA.  Arrived in Wellington, KA to start our adventure about 20 minutes before the Chisholm Trail Museum closed.  Took pictures of what the community looked like in the 1880s and talked to a helpful volunteer who told us that the Historical Society could have some information that we might find interesting. 

After supper we drove ten miles out of town to the west to where we believe the great grand parents had a farm and talked to a nice lady in that general vicinity that told us about a local cemetery.
