To Myholly@wildapache.net, bruce medbear@hotmail.com, Ofatnsassy@aol.com.Hello to all!! Myrna , I used to live in Contra Costa, Calif for 23 years. and every other year, I would travel, by auto, to visit my father and moter, eleven miles north of Sharon, Oklahoma. town Woodward. My father loved to talk about the old days of his life. He told me about his fathers youngest brother, who lived in the North. The Civil War was active and he was 15 yrs. old and wanted to join the action. His name I do not remember, but my dad said that he jjoined the Northern Army and they found out he was 15 yrs old and discharged him. He was angry so traveled around the fighting and joined the South, became a Soldier. Dad said he loved to play poker and, one game, son a Plantation in Western Alabama, along a deep river. My Grandfather and my dad hooked up a team of h orses, one day fulling a covered wagon and started to Alabama, after War was over, to visit him. They were traveling along the river and it was so muddy that the wagon sank ito the bed and they had to have help. They used the horses and arrived at the plantation, several miles away. He said the plantation was beautiful and large and still had Slaves. THe slaves would not enter the river as there were alligators there. They were successful and stayed at the plantation, several days, then returned to Okla. He stated that the Uncle was an Officer in the South??? If my grandfather was John Harrison Weir date 1859, the Civil War was over 1865. Was 1859 his birthdate? Another e-mail later!! This is Sunday, June 4, 2006 Another one later about our family trip to Hutchinson, KKansas to visit wiith dad's Aunt Jose. He thought highly of her. I plan to send a copy of the clan to you by postal mail. Seems better. I have your address. I need to update the younger children as this is quite old . Jesse H.

d. 21 Dec 1952
Buried Eastside Cem. Hutchinson, Reno, Kansas
While I was in High School we had an assignment to interview a family member of a generation of our family that was older than our own. I chose to make the report on Great-grandmother Margaret Rachel WEIR. She lived with Uncle Dick and Aunt Ruth - (Orrel Dixon Gardner on East B. Street in Hutchinson Reno Co., Kansas). She was confied to bed because she had recently fallen and suffered a broken hip, and was not expected to live much longer.
She said that her husband Samuel S. Gardner, had twin brothers just older than he who were, the sons of George Gardner and Margaret (Robb, Walker) Gardner that had lived in Washington Co., Indiana. George's first wife had died and he had married Margaret Walker - who was a widow woman. She had three children by George Gardner the Twins and Samuel. (The twins born 1844, & Samuel, 1847) were Thomas Andrew Gardner and George Franklin Gardner. When the Civil war started young George Franklin wanted to join the army. His father said he was to young and forbad the enlistment. - Young George ran away to enlist and was never heard of again. His very strict father was upset - to say the least - and young George's name was removed from all conversation as if he had never existed. But since Young George was his favorite of the twin brothers, Samuel had vowed to himself that when he married he would search for his lost brother. That they had moved to from Indiana to Illinois, from Illinois, to Missouri, had made trips to Oregon on the Oregon trail, Had moved to Cimarron, Gray Co., Kansas where they were having shoot outs in the streets because Cimarron and Ingals Ingals both wanted to be the County seat. - Their most frightening incicent ?- They had owned a stable . Their home was built behind the stable, one night there was a fire, they lost everything. Then they moved to Hutchinson, Kansas. but they never found the brother, George Franklin Gardner.
It is my understanding that Samuel Gardner, husband of Margaret Rachel, was a mason - ( cement worker). He made many of the sidewalks in Hutchinson, Reno, Kansas. He marked the sidewalks he made with an oval logo with his name across its middle. - Usually that marker was on the sidewalk near the street corner. Some have told me that they saw his logo on sidewalks in Portland, Oregon. This is possible for they are reported to have made two trips on the Oregon trail.
From childhood memories of great-grandmothers stories, she said, they once owned a stable - and lived in a house behind the stable. The stable caught fire and the house too was destroyed - This was in Cimarron, Gray Co., Kansas

One might wonder how this church came by its unusual name. The answer is simple - it was because it is located on the banks of Big Ox Creek (a branch of this creek is known as Little Ox) , a tributary of Muscatatatuck River. Then why was the creek given the name? Because in pioneering days a band of Delaware indians lived on the Muscatatuck near the mouth of the creek, and thier chief was called Old Ox by the settlers.
The first notice we have of Old Os Baptist Church is in the minutes of the meeting of the Silver Creek Baptist Association, held August 5, 18223, at the White River Meeting House (at present-day Kent, Jefferson County, Whereby the "Fifth Order of Business" states. "Received into the Association the church at Oxe's fork, and the bretheren invited to seats." The officers were Johathan D. Stark, Minister; Charles Stark and Hector Sparks, Messengers. Previously these same men had been connected with the Pigeon Roost Baptist Church (at the site of the present-day Pigeon Roost Massacre Memorial), as far back as 1818. The following year October 22, 1823, James Stark entered the 160 acres of land (N.E. Quarter, T. 2N, R. 6E.)
whereon stood the log church, and also where wJames Stark had located his home. He had been a squatter on this land since coming to Indiana some time previous to 1820 (when he had his nose counted in the U. S. General Census) as most all the early settlers in Indiana .
Then on Feburayr 27, 1827 (Deed Book B, p. 26). James Stark and Mary , his wife, deeded to Hector Sparks, Eli stark and Samuel McClung, Trustees of the Baptist Church on Ox's Fork, Vienna Township (After a967 it was Finley Township). one and one-half acres, including the graveyard, spring and meeting house.
This old Primitave Baptist Church is today used but once a year for services. Descendants of the old settlers gather from miles around and made a big day of it.
