William H. STEVENSON obtained a U.S. patent for original land here. He got the S half of the SW quarter and the S half of the SE quarter (a 160 acre strip of land) in section 33 of T32S, R3W (Ryan Twp., the township immediately north of Chikaskia Twp.), receipt dated 3/6/1878 in book C, page 63, and patent dated 5/6/1879 in book 8, page 275.
However, in the 1883 Edwards Historical Atlas, he is shown owning the north half of these two quarters, so I don't know if the atlas was wrong or if he had sold and bought other land. Also in the 1883 atlas in the "List of Patrons" (evidently people who had supported the publishing of the atlas) is listed in Dixon Twp. (the township just west of Ryan Twp.): W. H. Stevenson, P.O. Argonia, Sec. 17 (this would be right in town), Dealer in General Mdse., Nativity Illinois, Settlement in county 1872.
He also is listed in the Advertising Directory of the atlas under Argonia Directory: "W. H. Stevenson, Dealer in dry goods, ready made clothing, boots and shoes, hats and caps, and stationery. Glass and queensware a specialty. Highest market price paid for corn and produce. Patronage solicited."

Wellington Monitor Press, December 28, 1910:
The funeral of J. A. Maginnis, who died at the Wichita sanitarium last Wednesday evening, was held from the Baptist church at 3 o'clock on Friday afternoon, Rev. J. H. Hubbard conducting the services. The deceased had been ill for only about three weeks and had been only a few days at the sanitarium when death occurred. He was a native of Virginia, born in 1858, but moved to Kansas when quite a lad. Since 1888 he had been making his home in Kiowa and Pratt counties, engaged in the mercantile business and farming. He was postmaster at Belvidere for seven years. He is survived by his widow and three daughters, residing at 821 North Olive street.
Wellington City Directory, 1909-1910:
MAGINNIS, James E wf Mattie J r 821 N Poplar
MAGINNIS, Mable A student r 821 N Poplar
They were not listed in the 1907-1908 directory nor in the 1911-1912 directory or any of them following that date. Evidently, they were only here around the time of James' death and he was buried in Prairie Lawn. Then his wife and daughters left, but the wife and a daughter were brought back here when they died to be buried next to him. I wonder if they had gone back to Belvidere (Kiowa Co.) or somewhere else in Pratt or Kiowa Co. where they had lived before.

Milton still exists in Eden Twp., the far northwest township in the county. The cemetery book on the Sumner Co. cemeteries that was done in 1989, shows an Elias and Rebecca FOY buried in the Eden Cemetery, but I'm sure that must have been a mis-reading of the stone, because these are the dates shown:
Elias 1796 - 25 Jul 1883
There are a number of FOXs buried in various other cemeteries in the county, but there's nothing to indicate if they are children or relatives of Rebecca and Elias.

William T. ROLLIER obtained original land in T35S, R1E (south Guelph Tp.), the SE quarter of section 15, recorded in Receipt book C, page 179 and Patent book 6, page 61 in the Register of Deeds office at the courthouse in Wellington, KS (zip 67152).
Louis WEYTHMAN also got original land in the same township in section 16. He got the NE quarter of section 16, recorded in Receipt book C, page 127 and Patent book 5, page 392, so evidently he came a little before ROLLIER.
By the time the 1883 Edwards Historical Atlas came out, ROLLIER had just the west half of his original quarter and WEYTHMAN had just the east half of his original quarter.

According to the "Index to Land Patents" my husband did, there were two LUSKs who obtained original land in section 30 of Falls Twp. near Caldwell. One was Selah and the other was Melville J. According to the "List of Patrons" in the front of the 1883 Edwards Historical Atlas of Sumner Co., they both came to the county in 1878. Selah is shown as a native of New York and Melville as a native of Michigan.
