SAVE SHAWNEE MISSION
Missouri Woman Proposes to Have 1t
for a Museum.

Kansas City. July 6.-The purchase
and preservation of the old Shawnee
Mission. which would be used a
museum for the care and exhibition
of historic articles and documents re-
lating to Jackson county and the sec
ton lying on either side of the Mis-
souri, and Kansas line. was a sugges-
ton made by Mrs. Laura Coates Reed
at the picnic of the Jackson County
Historical society at the Wornall
home, Sixty-third street and WornaI
road, yesterday afternoon The mis-
sion is an old brick building near the
Kansas City-Olathe road in Johnson
county, Kansas, about three miles
from Merriam. It was a mission
school for Indians.
If the historical society would fos-
ter this movement. Mrs. Reed offered
TO give the museum the many his
toric articles left TO her by her father,
Kersey Coates. This collection is one
of the most extensive and rare of any
in Missouri. AS a secondary PROPOSE
ton, Mrs Reed suggested, in the
event that the use of the Shawnee
Mission was not feasible, the purchase
of the WoruaII home.
While Mrs. Reeds plans are tenta-
tive, she believes that the museum, 10
Gated at Shawnee Mission or in the
WornalI home, could be made self sus-
tanning In New England many SINH
lar institutions are operated dS rest
rooms for motorists, and her idea is to
have refreshments served and make
the museum point of destination for
motor car tourists.
One of the interesting characters at
the picnic was William johnson Of
Clay county. William Johnson is a
son of Thomas Johnson, who settled
in Kansas in the early part of the cen
fury. He was the founder of the
original Shawnee Mission, which had
three changes before its permanent
location was definitely fixed. William
Johnson has lived in Kansas sixty-two
years and. with the exception of Mrs.
D. l.. Lakin of Topeka, is said to have
resided in Kansas for longer time
than any other person in the state.
