Today will be hard to beat for making discoveries. At the Sumner County Historical Society we met a lady whose 101 year old mother now owns the homestead of Amariah & Myra Parcel. The helpful ladies in the office were able to tell us exactly where the homestead was.
We are trying to
follow the directions given in the diary as close as possible. As a consequence, our poor “new” car suffered
over dusty roads. The road may have been
a bit better than 125 years ago, but on our trip we saw small oil rigs and
large wind turbines.
The diary mentioned
cottonwood trees in St John, KS. We
looked and looked for cottonwood trees in this small burg, but found none. We did find a nice little park with many
types of tree other than cottonwoods.
