- Greetings from Western Tennessee. I am researching the
burial sites of deceased famous athletes (mostly baseball
hall of famers) and wish to locate the site of Track and
Field star, Glenn Cunningham. I understand Mr. Cunningham
passed on 3/10/88 in Arkansas and his hometown was
Elkhart, Kansas. What I would like to obtain is the name
and address of the cemetery he is a permanent resident, a
map of the cemetery (if available) and the location of
his monument. Also his death announcement from the local
newspaper. Any assistance or direction would be greatly
appreciated. Jackye, I'm looking at a map of Kansas and
it appears to be a very unpopulated area, is it mostly
flat farmland? After living in Los Angeles for 25 years I
thought I was in a rural area in Western Tennessee, but
it appears you are in a wide open area. Is Elkhart the
major community in Morton County? Enough of my questions.
Have a good day and I enjoyed your website, good for you.

- CUNDIFF posted by Kevin Cundiff on Monday, April 6,
1998
- Hello, I found your e-mail address on the KSGenWeb page.
I recently found out about a town that was established in
the early 1880's (and appears to have died out by the
late 1880's!). It was named Cundiff, KS and was located
15 miles from the Cimmarron River. >From what I read
in town's newspaper ("The Cundiff Journal"),
William Henry Harrison Cundiff was listed as the
"Chief Officer" of the town. I'm assuming he
put up money to get the town started, so they named it
after him. It looks like this was a commercial venture --
was this a common method of establishing KS towns? I
would appreciate any information on how to learn more
about this town and what it looks like now. Thanks in
advance, Kevin Cundiff
- STILLMAN, STILMAN posted by Ginette Vanden on Monday, April 6,
1998
- Hello. I am writing for information on the
STILMAN/STILLMAN family of Elkhart, KS. My grandmother,
Margaret Lola STILMAN/STILLMAN was born in 1908 in
Elkhart, Kansas and married Homer Jackson Vanaman in
Elkhart, Morton County, Kansas in 1925. On August 28,
1927, my mother was born, Donita Colleen Vanaman in
Elkhart, Morton County, Kansas. I have been researching
and digging trying to find the names of the parents of
Margaret Lola Stillman. The only name I have for her
father is Linn/Linne Stilman/Stillman. Since I can't seem
to find any record of his ever existing, Linn/Linne must
be a nickname. In order for me to conduct any research on
this side of my family, it is imperative to I find out
Mr. STILMAN/STILLMAN's full name. If was wondering if
there was any way you could help me out with this? Thank
you very much, Ginette VandenOever g1vanden@airmail.net

- posted by Pat LaCroix on
Monday, October 5, 1998
- I am asking a very strange question in this email. But
feel I just had to take a shot at it. My grandfather and
several other men (possibly from our area in Pittsburg,
KS) went to Cimmaron, KS in the 30's when times were hard
seeking employment. I have several pictures of these men
on their work crew building a barn that was supposed to
be in Cimmaron. At one time, my Aunt Thadene who resided
in Elkhart, KS with my uncle who was a Baptist minister
there, said that the barn was still standing. I know this
is a TX longshot, but do you have anyone researching in
Cimmaron that might help me out ?? I would really like to
know if this 60 some year old barn is still standing. I
know the barn he built on our old farmstead in 1936 is
still standing, however the people who now own it are
letting in deteriorate rapidly. I wish people knew the
valley of old structures of that nature. Looking forward
to an answer. Thanks.

- NESTER, TEETER posted by Michael R. Clark on Tuesday,
February 23, 1999
- Jackye, You have a great web site. I spent several years
of my childhood in Elkhart, and used to have a ton of
Teeters and Nester relatives around there. I am trying to
re-establish communication with later generations of long
lost cousins because all of my aunts and uncles that I
knew are now deceased. I want to update my geneology
charts. It was very informative. Thanks for the great
work, it sure makes it easier to research from
California. Mike Clark mrclark@netxn.com
