Robinson's and John R farms
were located. If you will notice Nathan Miner's farm is a little NE of John R's farm,
think Elizabeth visited her grandparents and John courted her? On right Shelton
farm. Sure looks that way to me. From Annie Hardy, 11-2001

It took me a week to straighten most of this up as was
original wrote using Q and A word program and in change over to word, it
added many asci signs as these, And I had to go through and take all of them out, I
hope, so not to sure of some spelling. I think I did this about 1993 and so
far I can't find my original copy. Contains much good info and date. Some
one ask what church did the Andrew's belong to, well it seems from these
notes, Presbyterian. Info had to be from family bible and other notes.

Clammer The low dark trembling of the eastern sky. Holds one star waiting
dimly for the moon. To weld its little shine into one cry Of ecstasy. So do
I wait. Come soon! Against the dreamy sunset's crimson heart One tree lifts
aching branches toward the sky To court approaching night -- to be a part Of
its vast ebony. And so wait I wake alone. And in the wind wrapped dawn. I
hear one bird cry lonely for her mate. She looks into the sky where he has
gone. I know! For thus I cry -- and look -- and wait! (The rest of this page

1862 Camp Summerville Va. Mr. J. R. Andrew, Sr. I have a chance of sending a
few lines to Gauley tomorrow and I will improve on the opportunity I have
written to the folks at home and presume that you have heard ere this that
our regiment has left Summerville, we have heard from it today. They say
that it is on the way back to Gualy and will move from there to Tennessee
and take possession of the Tennessee Railroad. If that is the case and I
presume it is we will get with our Regt.. soon. I would rather be with the regiment, although we have
easier times here. but I would rather see a little harder times than to stay
here and see nothing. I will not have time to write much this evening but I
will try and let you know that we are still here and praying to leave every
day. but don't know when we will get off there is no mail from Gauley here
and we have to send as we get a chance and we get no letters atoll. I don't
look to hear from home anymore for sometime unless it is an accident. But
tell them to write and do the same yourself and I may happen to get them by
accident. I am well and able for almost any game that they can put me onto.
I have broke the tab out of my Enfield and can't shoot till
I get a new gun, but I guess I will get one in a day or two.� Blanket is
well I believe for me and him went out and shot a hog the other day and
skinned it and it eat right well. I thank you that is nothing we do such
tricks frequently. It is now after Roll Call and I must close without
telling you what you would like. I hear but I haven't time to do anymore. So

OVI in care of WHG A B C D Adney Mrs. M.A. Carley Dead Margaret Ann Daigh,
daughter of John and Sarah Daigh, was born near Rochester, Sangamon county,
Illinois, January 20, 1845; and died at the home of her daughter, Mrs.
Milton Rightmire near Wamego, April 26, 1925; aged 80 years, 3 months and 6
days. She moved, with her parents, to Wisconsin when a small child, and
there she grew to womanhood. On February 18, 1864, she was united in
marriage to Lieutenant Lot H. Carley at Fairplay, Wisconsin. Three children
survive this union: �Mrs. Milton Rightmire of Wamego; C.L. Carley of
Plainville; and Dr. Harry d. Carley of St. Louis, Missouri. Her husband died
July 15, 1885, at Auburn, Nebraska. She and one brother G.L. Daigh, are the
last of a family of eight children. When twenty-eight years of age, Sister
Carley was converted and she joined the Methodist church. She has ever lived
faithful and consistent Christian life, and at the time of her death, was
one of the highly honored beloved and respected members of the M.E. church
here in Wamego. Those of us that had the good fortune to know her in the
days of her strength and activity, remember her as one of the most lovable
and devoted Christian saints. We cannot speak too highly of her, or praise
her good deeds too fervently. She was a woman of refined tastes and desires.
She loved the best things in life. And above all, she loved her church and
its ministry. She stayed here in town as long as she was able to care for
herself in order that she might have the privilege of attending the services
of the church. She made many friends of all who knew her, and has left
deeply impressed upon our hearts the lessons of beautiful living and serving
as enacted in her life. And throughout a long life of hardships and many
privations, she fought a winning fight. She left a name untouched and
untarnished by the things of the world. She had her habitation here, but her
citizenship was in Heaven. She did kindly deeds here, but never with the thought of praise or reward of
mankind. IT was for the sake of Him whose disciple she was, and in his name
that she did her kindly deeds. She believed the words of Him who said,
"Whosoever giveth a cup of cold water in my name shall have his reward." How
comforting it must be to her loved ones and to all of us who knew her, to
think how Heaven must have waited with outstretched arms to receiver her
immortal spirit while her Lord and Savior said to her; "Well done thou good
and faithful servant; enter thou into the joy of the Lord." We will miss
her, but our loss is Heaven's gain. Therefore, let our hearts be comforted.
Besides the children and brother as mentioned above, she leaves seven
grandchildren and one great grandchild, other relatives and a host of
friends to mourn her departure. Funeral services were held at the M.E.
church in Wamego, Tuesday afternoon, at two-thirty o'clock, conducted by her
pastor, the Rev. L. B. Pruitt, and the body was shipped to Auburn, Nebraska,
and laid to rest in the family lot in the cemetery.

Charles LeRoy Carley was born near Louisville, Kans. Mar. 13, 1871��. When
about four years old, his parents moved to Ill. In 1881 they moved to Iowa
and in 1884 moved to Auburn, Neb. where Roy as he was known grew to manhood.
After spending three years of his early manhood in Okla. he came back to the
land of his birth in 1896.�� In ��1901 he married Dora M. Andrew. In 1905,
he with his wife and two children LeRoy, Jr. and Margaret moved to Rooks Co.
Kansas. Here two more children were born to this home. Milton and May. On
what is known as the Andreson place, eight and one-half miles southwest of
Plainville, this little family lived and toiled for almost thirty years.
May, LeRoy and Margaret married from this home, and in 1934, Roy, his wife,
and one son, Milton, said farewell to the old home, on July 31st, and moved
to Dallas Co., Mo. Broken in fortune, health and spirit, he lived but a
short time. On the morning of Sept. 15, 1935 life left his poor, tired body
and went to dwell with the immortals.

Sunset and evening star, And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar, When I put out to sea. Twilight and
evening bell, And after that the dark! And may there be no sadness of
farewell, When I embark! For, though from out our balance of time & place
The flood may bear me far, I hope to see my Pilot face to face When I have
crossed the bar.
Services were held Tuesday, p.m. April 1 at the
Methodist Church in Plainville by Rev. Thorns of Hays Presbyterian Church,
assisted by Rev. Husted. Interment in the Plainville cemetery.

Chapter 1
Following my graduation in 1949 from WHS, I took my diploma and
skills and went to Kansas State to work. In 1950, I married Earle Popejoy. Over the next
few years, we had three sons, David, Douglas and Dana. The two younger boys were born in
Germany where we were attached to the Army for over five years. The marriage ended in
1978.
Chapter 2
In 1983 I returned to Kansas to care for my elderly parents. As a diversion, I
attended Kansas State and in 1989 received a Bachelor in Social Work degree. My caretaker
role ended in 1988 and 89, and I worked for the State of Kansas in Children & Family
Services until my retirement in 1996.
Chapter 3
Because of several years of experience as a Singer store manager and salesman, I took
a part-time job with the local store. The owner was a neat ole guy, divorced, retired
once, and about my age. We were married in 1997 and I became Mrs. Lester Smith. We have
lived happily ever after. In addition to my three sons and their families, I now have a
stepfamily. We are thinking about complete retirement soon.

Virginia Obrecht Popejoy Smith: I was born at Meridian, Kansas on February 2, 1931. I
attended one year of school in the country. In 1938 we moved to the old Willy place about
12 miles NE of Wamego. I attended Tannerville School until May 1945. I attended high
school at Wamego 1945-49. I was first married August 27, 1950 and divorced in 1978. I took
care of parents from 1983-89. I attended Kansas State and graduated from there in 1989.
After I married Lester Smith, we cooperated in running the Singer store. And we still do.
Since February 2, 2002, we have had Lesters sister, Charlotte Vance, in the

Pictures taken of all stones. We also located several Bishop and Alexander stones. Bad
day, heavy snow. Clark L. Carley, Dorothy Calkin and Virginia Popejoy, all related.
Dorothy and Virginia have done research. To date, I have not worked on the Andrew
line. We plan to return again. Elizabeth Andrew is our great grand mother on our
grand mother Dora May (Andrew) Carley side of the tree. Returned
again in April of 1998, and still was unable to find the grave of John R. Andrew. Also
visited Shirleys Genealogy Center on main street in Platte, Mo. She was unable to
help me. Also news paper records in Weston, Mo. Mr. Bliss. Revised 1997 Revised June 1998

[Additional story from Dorothy Calkin] I remember
Mom, ( My Aunt Margie) telling of one time when she was teaching close to home that
she sprained her ankle very badly. Grandma and Grandpa made her put on a tight leather
boot, lazed tightly. She had to walk to school several miles. Then again when Uncle Milt
had blood poison in his leg, and nearly died, he was made to continue to work. When
Grandma lived with us, her verbal abuse was sometimes was vicious. Her favorite saying to
me was "you are big enough, old enough and ugly enough to know better>" Of
course, that didn't do much for my ego. I was usually the one to catch the brunt of her
wrath. I think Morn and Dad tried hard not to continue the abuse. But is was not
considered abuse then. It was considered handling children. (If we had the laws then
that we have now, they would have but my Dad, Lee under the jail, not in it. I could write
another book about that subject. |
