ORIGIN OF MEMORIAL DAY,
Rufus p. Parrish Of kewanee Urqed
CONNIE moration Of the Dead.

Hu'us Y. FsrTisn OF Newanee Urged
Commemoration Of the Dead.
Memorial day originated with a man
who was recently followed to the
grave at Kewanee, H., by one OF the
largest throngs OF old soldiers that
ever attended funeral in a town of
like size.
The name Of this man was Rufus p.
Parrish and it is admitted that a let.
ter he wrote to Senator John A. Logan
was chiefly instrumental in the action
Of congress in establishing a day on
which throughout the nation graves Of
the union dead should be strewn with
flowers and their brave acts commem-
GRATED.
1t is a matter of history that the
custom of decorating graves of SOL
diers was commenced in Kewanee in
1868, five years before Senator Logan
secured the action of congress ap-
pointing memorial day. 1t is known
that Mr.. Parrish, who. had always
taken the greatest interest in this OBJ
servance, wrote an urgent letter to
| Senator Logan. urging him to take in
to serious consideration legislation
that would set aside a day on which
all could join in memorial services.
Aside from the interest that Mr.. Par
IRISH took in such patriotic movements
he had very interesting history. His
grandfather on his mothers side car
ried flintlock musket in the revolu-
tionary war, and the father of his faith
er was recruiting officer in the war
OF 1912. He was one of fifteen men to
organize the first Y. M. C. A. in the
United States. During the war of the
rebellion and before he was an out.
spoken abolitionist and figured promi-
nently in underground railroad work
by which slaves escaped to Canada.
He was in the forefront of nearly ev-
cry movement of enlightenment of the
community serving to foster Libraries
and lectures.
Mr.. Parrish was born in New Hamp-
shire about eighty-seven years ago and
came to Illinois IN April 1855. He is
survived by his faithful wife, with
whom he dwelt in wedlock for the I'M
usual term Of sixty-four years.

Comma Of Dennis.

Along is the early SOS a lean,
smooth shaven young lrishman drove
Into Old IIiowa with IN OK team,
hauling wagon loaded with a Wash
ington hand press and couple Of
cases of body type. He set up his print
ing office in an old log shanty whose
roof let in the sunshine and the rain
The chinking was out from between
the logs and the ventilation was ample.
AS the doors of the shanty were not
securely fastened. the cows frequently
strolled into the sanctum of the edi-
tor and watched him set the type or
swing back on the handle of the
Washington press. Occasionally a
goat wandering about the town would
saunter into the editorial office and in
the absence Of the editor satisfy the
cravings Of its appetite with a bunch
of copy from the hook or a section
of the towel which it found leaning
against the wall.

In Loo House Hotel.

Mrs Chatham took her little girl to
Barber county, and in the little from
tier hamlet of Kiowa, later known as
cold Kiowa", started into the hotel
business in an old rambling log house,
built of cottonwood logs cut from the
groves that lined the Medicine river.
Few women ever put mp braver or
mere uncomplaining battles with the
world for living than Mrs. Chatham.
Her customers were for the most part
cattlemen and rough cowboys from
the range, but Mrs Chatham had the
respect Of every one of them on ac-
count Of her quiet. ladylike and self
respecting ways And she prospered
too. in the rude old log hotel When
the railroad was built through south
east Barber county, the old toTr OF
Kiowa was abandoned and the new
town was organized A larger ant

summers. Independent in her notions
but shy in the presence Of strangers.

PLUCKY MRS. FLYNN'S
EARLY DAY STRUGGLE
Early Day Kansas Romance
Recalled by Topeka
Editor

T. A. McNeal, editor Of the Mail
and Breeze, published at Topeka, Kas.,
and a resident of Medicine Lodge
during an early day, gives the follow
ing complete history Of the Flynns of
Oklahoma.
Since there has been so much said
in the papers regarding the marriage
of Miss Dorothy Flynn to a noted
Washington physician we have been
asked in regard to the truth of the
report that she is not the daughter,
but the step-daughter of Dennis
Flynn The report is correct The
name of the celebrated bride was not
Flynn. brt Chatham. Her father, Jim
Chatham, one of the brightest news
paper meG in Kansas in an early day,
married Miss Addie Blanton, daughter
of Captain Napoleon b. Blanton,
known among the early settlers as
'Bony Blanton." Captain Blanton was
at one time member of the Kansas
legislature and attained some prom
inence in the territorial days. Jim
Chatham had plenty of talent, but he
was guilty of the objectionable sin Of
neglecting his young wife. finally
abandoning her and leaving her tc
shift for herself and baby as best she
could.
