# A Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature/Carew, Thomas

​Carew, Thomas (1594?-1639).—Poet, s. of Sir Matthew C., was ed. at Oxf., entered the Middle Temple, and was one of the first and best of the courtly poets who wrote gracefully on light themes of Court life and gallantry. C.'s poems have often much beauty and even tenderness. His chief work is Coelum Britannicum. He lived the easy and careless life of a courtier of the day, but is said to have d. in a repentant frame. His poems, consisting chiefly of short lyrics, were coll. and pub. after his death. One of the most beautiful and best known of his songs is that beginning "He that loves a rosy cheek."
# A Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature/Campbell, Thomas

​Campbell, Thomas (1777—1844).—Poet, was the youngest s. of Alexander C., a merchant in Glasgow, where he was b. After leaving the Univ. of that city, where he gained some distinction by his translations from the Greek, and acting for some time as ​a tutor, he went to Edin. to study law, in which, however, he did not make much progress, but gained fame by producing in 1799, at the age of 21, his principal poem, The Pleasures of Hope. In spite of some of the faults of youth, the vigour of thought and description, and power of versification displayed in the poem, as well as its noble feeling for liberty, made it a marvellous performance for so young a man. His other larger poems are Gertrude of Wyoming (1809), O'Connor's Child, and Theodric (1824). It is not, however, for these that he will be chiefly remembered, but for his patriotic and war lyrics, Ye Mariners of England, Hohenlinden, and The Battle of the Baltic, which are imperishable. C. was also distinguished as a critic, and his Specimens of the British Poets (1819) is prefaced by an essay which is an important contribution to criticism. C. resided in London from 1803 until the year of his death, which took place at Boulogne, whither he had repaired in search of health. In addition to the works mentioned he wrote various compilations, including Annals of Great Britain, covering part of the reign of George III. In 1805 he received a Government pension, and he was Lord Rector of Glasgow Univ. 1826-29. He is buried in Westminster Abbey.

# A Standard History of Kansas and Kansans/Biography/Albert Dickens

​ Albert Dickens. For seventeen years Albert Dickens has been connected with the Department of Instruction in the Kansas State Agricultural College at Manhattan, and as professor of horticulture is a recognized authority in that field, not only in Kansas but throughout the Middle West.
Though not born in Kansas, Mr. Dickens has lived in the state for the past forty years and is thoroughly familiar with its general agricultural conditions and its people. He was born at Anoka, Anoka County, Minnesota, October 24, 1867. When he was nine years of age his parents came to Kansas and in 1876 settled on a farm near Sterling, Rice County, where they were pioneers. William and Sarah (Ridge) Dickens, his parents, were natives of England. They came when young with their respective parents to the United States. They were identified during their early married life with the northwestern frontier in Minnesota and afterwards were industrious and capable farmers in Rice County, Kansas.
Reared on a farm, Albert Dickens had to make the best of his advantages, limited as they were. An older sister gave him much encouragement and assistance in his studies as a boy, and he also attended the country schools. After an examination he entered the Kansas State Agricultural College in January, 1890, and was graduated Bachelor of Science in 1893. Mr. Dickens has been connected with some form of educational work for nearly a quarter of a century. He taught in the public schools and at the same time carried on graduate studies in the Kansas State Agricultural College. In 1901 that institution awarded him the degree Master of Science.
​ In 1899 he was made an instructor in the Kansas State Agricultural College, being assistant in horticulture. Since 1901 he has held the chair of horticulture and has been head of the department in the college. He is widely known among the fruit men of this state, and has made his department a valuable co-operating factor to the individual fruit growers.
He is a member of the American Pomological Society, the Society of Horticultural Science, and the Kansas State Horticultural Society. He belongs to the fraternities Phi Kappa Phi and Alpha Zeta, and is active as a Mason, being past master of his lodge and also a member of the Royal Arch. In 1898 he married Bertha Kimball, who is also a graduate of the Kansas State Agricultural College. Their children are: Elizabeth, William, Richard K. and John B. Dickens.
# A Standard History of Kansas and Kansans/Biography/Charles A Karlan

​ Charles A. Karlan. Though comparatively a newcomer in Kansas, Mr. Karlan in a few years has made a record of practical accomplishment and a reputation for himself such as few who have spent their entire lives within the state's borders have been able to attain.
He is an artist in furniture. The making of high grade furniture has been a specialty of his for many years, and it was in 1905 that he came to Topeka and set up his establishment in that line. It is no disparagement to other similar concerns to state that his is the largest and best equipped furniture factory and retail establishment in Kansas. Karlan-made furniture has a special significance among those who demand and appreciate artistic merit. It was from his original designs that the present furniture in the Memorial Building, the home of the State Historical Society, was made, and this alone has made his work familiar to thousands.
Charles A. Karlan was born in Detroit, Michigan, July 29, 1874, being one of the three surviving children out of the five born to Frederick and Wilhelmina Karlan. His parents spent their early years in Germany, where they married, and came to the United States in 1872. Charles A. Karlan grew up in Detroit, graduated from the high school there in 1892, and for three years was a student in the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, until failing health compelled him to relinquish his studies, when he moved West. From boyhood he had a special knack at handling ​ tools and has developed a mechanical trade into an artistic profession. He was first engaged in furniture manufacturing at Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and was there at the outbreak of the Spanish-American war in 1898. He at once left his work and became a member of Company F of the Eighth United States Infantry. At Dacquira he had the distinction of being the second American soldier to put foot on Cuban soil in the time of war. In the campaign that followed for the subjugation of Cuba he was in seven distinct engagements, including Dacquira, Siboney, El Caney and the siege and bombardment of Santiago. It was at Santiago that Mr. Karlan received a gunshot wound in the left leg. At the close of the Cuban campaign he received an honorable discharge as sergeant-major, and after recuperating resumed manufacturing at Cedar Rapids, Iowa. From there he moved to Topeka in 1905.
Mr. Karlan is a thirty-second degree Scottish Rite Mason, and is affiliated with the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks and the Woodmen of the World; is a member of the Rotary Club, the Topeka Commercial Club, the Spanish-American War Veterans, and is active in the First Methodist Episcopal Church of Topeka.
In 1907 he married Miss Louise E. Biebel of St. Paul, Minnesota. Their two children are Charles B. and Frances Louise.
# A Standard History of Kansas and Kansans/Biography/Archibald Steel Johnson

​ Archibald Steel Johnson, a resident of Kansas nearly forty years, has one of the very interesting places historically considered. It is located a few miles from North Topeka on rural route No. 6 in Shawnee County, and is a farm of eighty acres which he bought in 1907. The history of this farm is especially interesting. The site comprises the old historic Town of Indianola. This town was established when the Territory of Kansas was new. It was the home of a large number of abolitionists, though there were two or three pro-slavery families in the same community. When this was written in 1916 Mr. Johnson was storing a large crop of alfalfa hay into the building which had formerly been the Indianola Hotel. That hotel is sixty-two years old, stands out weatherbeaten and inconspicuous, though many of its timbers are as sound as when it was built. It has associations with many prominent men and events of early Kansas. It was the meeting place of the abolitionists and the builders of the hotel and the founders of the town expected that the capital of the state would be put there. Not far from the hotel were the homes of some of the first settlers including the Readers, Owens, Rameys, McNowns and others.
Born in Belmont County in Eastern Ohio in 1864, Archibald S. Johnson is a son of Alexander Johnson, who was born in the same county of Ohio in 1822. Alexander was a farmer all his active career. In 1877 he brought his family out to Kansas locating in Pottawatomie County on the Vermilion River, but soon afterward moving down toward St. Mary. In 1895 he moved to Menoken, where he spent his last years as a farmer. In 1863 Alexander Johnson married Sarah McMullen of Belmont County, Ohio. Their seven sons and one daughter were named Archibald, George, Larkin, William, Frank, Charles, Mack and Cicely. Alexander Johnson was a man of good habits, strictly temperate, an honorable, upright and hard-working citizen, and was entitled to the respect and esteem which he always enjoyed.
Archibald S. Johnson was about fifteen years of age when his parents moved out to Kansas. In the meantime he had attended school in Ohio, and in Kansas found ample employment for his energies on his father's farm. In 1890 he began independent farming at St. Mary's and in 1907 he bought the eighty acres including the old site of the historic Town of Indianola, and is farming that land very successfully and profitably.
In 1890 he married Clara McCleery of Pottawatomie County, Kansas. Of their three children two are living, Leota and Jennie. Jennie is still at home, while Leota is the wife of Joseph Bimbarner.
