1 NOTE Maria Elisabeth pleaded with her sons in America to return to the Germany, after the death o
2 CONC f her youngest son of typhus, to claim their inheritance.  Given that they had established fa
2 CONC milies and successfuly farms of their own in Kansas that were much larger than the German pro
2 CONC perty, they had no interest in returning to Germany.  Thus, the widow gave authority to her s
2 CONC on-in-law, Jobst Friedrich Wulfmann of Dahlinghausen, to sell the farm and property in Rattin
2 CONC ghausen, and probaby, in Wehrendorf.  The Rattinghausen property was sold on 21 January 187
2 CONC 8 to Franz Heinrich Clamors.  The buyer, by law, assumed the family name and was known therea
2 CONC fter as Franz Heinrich Johannsmeyer.  He became the first of the 'new' Johannsmeyers, whose d
2 CONC escendants still retain the name and property ownership to the present day.

1 NOTE The birth register at the Lutheran church in Bad Essen shows Clamor's last name as Kaump sinc
2 CONC e he was born on the Kaump farm, his father had become owner of the Kaump farm through the ma
2 CONC rriage of the widow Kaump, and farmers took the name of the farm as their own surname.  Still
2 CONC , his father was a Johannsmeyer and also owned the Johannsmeyer farm in Rattinghausen, so Cla
2 CONC mor retained the last name of his father.
2 CONT 
2 CONT When 20 years old, Clamor enlisted in the 6th Hanoverian Regiment (Prussian Guard).  In the s
2 CONC pring of 1865 after 3 years of service, Clamor hired a mercenery to finish his service, payin
2 CONC g $110, and left for the United States.  He arrived in the United State on 31 July 1865 at 2
2 CONC 4 years of age.  After working as a grocery clerk in New York City for two months, he made th
2 CONC e overland trip to Kansas City, and then, traveled by boat to Leavenworth.  He then travele
2 CONC d overland to Randolph and Swede Creek, 23 miles north of Manhattan, Kansas.  He then sent fo
2 CONC r his fiance, who he married soon after arrival in Randolph in late 1865.  Their first home w
2 CONC as a log cabin on their farm 2 1/2 miles north of the old Randolph (moved with the creation o
2 CONC f Tuttle Creek Reservoir).
2 CONT 
2 CONT Clamor learned of opportunity in the Swede Creek area of Riley County from his future mother-
2 CONC in-law, Maria Elenora (Meisemeyer) Baune.  Her sister, Anna Marie Elizabeth Meisemeyer, live
2 CONC d in Riley County, Kansas and was married to Charles Meyer.  Charles died from drowning in th
2 CONC e Blue River, and the widow remarried Fred Toburen.  Erna Bisig, a grandaughter, wrote a lett
2 CONC er while doing research on the family that says Anna Marie Elizabeth Meisemeyer went to Illin
2 CONC ois with her bachelor brother, apparently from Germany.   Somehow, she met and married Charle
2 CONC s, and they ended up in Kansas Territory on the Blue River.
2 CONT 
2 CONT No doubt, after the marriage to Fred Toburen, Maria Elenora Baune arranged through her siste
2 CONC r to have Fred Toburen accommodate Clamor's, and then, their move to Kansas.  Maria Elenora (
2 CONC Meisemeyer) Baune's younger sister, Anna Marie Engel Meisemeyer, evidently came to the Unite
2 CONC d States at the same time and subsequently married Fred's younger brother, Herman Heinrich To
2 CONC buren.  Maria Elenora (Meisemeyer) Baune's younger brother Fred and the rest of the brother
2 CONC s and sisters also apparently joined them in the Swede Creek area given the census informatio
2 CONC n in 1880.
2 CONT 
2 CONT Clamor Adolph was a very successful farmer.  When he moved to Kansas he purchased 160 acres o
2 CONC f bottom land on the Big Blue River.  The 1870 census showed the value of his real estate a
2 CONC t $3,000 and his personal estate as $2,140.  When he died he owned 340 acres.  He had held va
2 CONC rious township offices, and on the 5th of Novermber 1889 was elected Commissioner on the Inde
2 CONC pendent ticket.  His life is discussed in "Portrait and Geographical Album" of Washington, Cl
2 CONC ay, Riley Counties, Kansas," prepared by Chapman Brothers Publishers, Chicago, IL, 1890, an
2 CONC d "Pioneers of the Bluestem Prairie."  There is also a family published manuscript "Clamor Ad
2 CONC olph Johansmeyer, Wehrendorf Prussia and his descendant families in America," dated July 1986
2 CONC .  Ivan Harrisberger conceived the idea for the Johnsmeyer story, researched and wrote the ma
2 CONC jority of the initial document. Forest Harrisberger prepared the manuscripts for publicatio
2 CONC n and distribution.  Various family members have a copy of this manuscript.
2 CONT 
2 CONT Other information from the Johnsmeyer history follows - quoting son Herman Johnsmeyer regardi
2 CONC ng the decision of Clamor Adolph to go to America and the subsequent events. "My father, Clam
2 CONC or Adolph Johnsmeyer, was the son of a rather well-to-do land owner called a Baron which mean
2 CONC t that he was sufficiently wealthy to have peasant farmers on his land.  Peasant farmers wer
2 CONC e people who had a small house, a parcel of land large enough to make a meager living, and we
2 CONC re subject to call at any time to work for the land owner, and this included women.  My mothe
2 CONC r's folks were one of the peasant families who lived on my father's folks' land.  They were q
2 CONC uite a distinguished family and were known as von Johannsmeyer's.  My mother was the only chi
2 CONC ld and was considered very pretty.  Her weight was only about 100 pounds, and was what one wo
2 CONC uld call a 'pretty and sweet young thing.'  As things will happen, Dad fell in love with thi
2 CONC s pretty little peasant girl.
2 CONT 
2 CONT "His main concern was economics since he could not inherit the family estate as provided by t
2 CONC he German law; and now that he had gotten 'involved' with the pretty little peasant girl, run
2 CONC ning away seemed to be the perfect solution.
2 CONT 
2 CONT "So, arrangement were made between the two lovers for father to go ahead and get established
2 CONC , find a place for his bride-to-be, and as soon as his ambition was realized, he would send h
2 CONC er the money to come to him.  We can readily see that this took very much courage.  My father
2 CONC 's age at that time was in the early 20's, and mother was only 17.  But they, like a lot of o
2 CONC thers, had the true pioneer spirit.  He started for Amerca in mid-1865, leaving from Bremen
2 CONC , Germany, by sail boat and arriving in New York about two weeks later.  From theire he wen
2 CONC t by rail to Manhattan, Kansas, and took up a homestead about 23 miles north of Manhattan o
2 CONC n the Big Blue River.  Then, he bought a tract adjoing the homestead from Bill Meyer, which h
2 CONC ad a small one-room log house on it; after which, he sent for his bride-to-be.
2 CONT 
2 CONT "My mother left her country with her parents to join her husband-to-be in Riley County, Kansa
2 CONC s.  They had a relative by the name of Fred Toburen (his wife was Elenora Boehne's sister) wh
2 CONC o lived not too far from my father's homestead which was their destination.  They set sail fo
2 CONC r their new home in a sailboat which must not have been of the best kind.  She was on the boa
2 CONC t nine weeks drifting in the rough sea.  They had just about given up hope of getting acros
2 CONC s the ocean. They started rationing food and water and things looked very gloomy, but they fi
2 CONC nally reached land, and subsequently, Leavenworth, Kansas by train.  They arrived there witho
2 CONC ut any trouble and took rooms in a boarding house.  Then there was trouble getting word to Mr
2 CONC . Toburen that they had arrived.  The only way was by mail and that was so very slow. They wa
2 CONC ited for quite some time before Mr. Toburen got the word, but when he did he rigged up his ol
2 CONC d wagon, pulled by an ox team, and went after my mother in Leavenworth.  Mr. Toburen had bee
2 CONC n in this country a few years and was somewhat established in his home in Swede Creek.  Thes
2 CONC e old settlers had to locate on the creek or river so that they would have water and wood; al
2 CONC so, lumber with which to build their homes.
2 CONT 
2 CONT "In due time, father and mother set up housekeeping in their little log cabin to face the fut
2 CONC ure.  The nearest trading post was at Junction City, about 45 miles away and there was no est
2 CONC ablished road, just prairie tracks across the country.  Indians were quite common, but not vi
2 CONC cious.  If not molested, they were mostly friendly, there was drouth and scarcity of food. Th
2 CONC ey had some cultivated ground.  It was plowed, leveled down, marked with a wooden marker 3 fe
2 CONC et apart both ways, then planted with a sharp stick punching a hole in the ground and droppin
2 CONC g in the kernel.  Then, the growing corn was cultivated with a one horse shovel plow both way
2 CONC s.  In the fall, the corn was shocked out, thrown in piles, and hauled out with wagons.  Smal
2 CONC l grains - as wheat and oats - were handled much the same.
2 CONT 
2 CONT "Building material was plentiful along the river but all work had to be done by hand.  A fire
2 CONC place provided heat, cooking fire, and light until candles could be made.  Log and stone fenc
2 CONC es were built after the housing needs were provided.  Wells were sunk - the hole being dug b
2 CONC y hand, walls lined with stone.  The women did hand laundering, gardened, sewed for the famil
2 CONC y, often spinning the thread and weaving the cloth. They made lye, needed for soap making, fr
2 CONC om wood ashes.
2 CONT 
2 CONT "As the family grew, they needed a new house, so in 1879, a large eight-room frame house wa
2 CONC s erected.  Then, other buildings of stone and mortar were built.  The mortar was burned in p
2 CONC its in the hillside.  Many miles of stone fences were laid by the Swedes who were early settl
2 CONC ers, and were stone masons by trade.  The little town of Randolph was started at about the sa
2 CONC me time the new house was built, and a grade school was built in 1868.  The older children we
2 CONC nt to this school which was two and one-half miles from our house.
2 CONT 
2 CONT "In 1886, the Union Pacific Railroad was built through our farm and was done with mule teams
2 CONC .  About a dozen teams were used at one time for grading.  The father-in-law, C. A. Boehne, w
2 CONC ho by trade was a carpenter, and who made wooden shoes and wove baskets, helped with the buid
2 CONC ing projects.  He also wove a casket for a worker who died on the railroad project.  Soon a l
2 CONC ittle country school was built down the road from our house with the help of the railroad, an
2 CONC d the younger children received their education there.
2 CONT 
2 CONT "The nearest church, Swede Creek Church, was six miles away over rough ravine roads, but we a
2 CONC ttended quite regularly uising a lumber wagon for transportation.  Later, a spring wagon wa
2 CONC s used, and still later a carriage with top for curtains to help weather the cold north wind
2 CONC .  When weather would not permit us to attend church, father would gather us into the large d
2 CONC ining room and read to us from a large book of sermons he had brought with him from Germany
2 CONC .  They also attended the 5-day camp meeting held on the camp ground 2 miles from the church
2 CONC .  Clamor helped build the church and served as a trustee.
2 CONT 
2 CONT "Father passed away in 1911 at the age of 70.  At that time Carl, the youngest boy, and two o
2 CONC f his sisters, Nellie and Alma, were at home and carried on the work.  Mother owned the plac
2 CONC e until 1929 when August and Nellie Richter, who were renting then, bought the farm consistin
2 CONC g of about 350 acres for $20,000.  Mother lived on the farm with them all of her remaining da
2 CONC ys, and passed away in 1940 at the age of 92."
2 CONT 
2 CONT (Excerpts from Chaplman Bros. Publishers): "C. A. Johnsmeyer.  There is probably not within t
2 CONC he limits of Jackson Township, Riley County, a more reliable liberal-minded, or public-spirit
2 CONC ed, German citizen than he with whom we introduce this sketch.  He has been very successful f
2 CONC inancially, his property totalled over 400 acres.  He has held the various township offices
2 CONC , and on the 5th of November, 1889, was elected Commissioner on the Independent ticket
2 CONC . . . . Our subject has been quite prominent in his community, serving as School Director an
2 CONC d Road Supervisor, besides being Township Treasurer for six years.  He is a member in good st
2 CONC anding of the German Lutheran church, in which he served as Trustee, and assisted in buildin
2 CONC g of the church edifice at Swede Creek."
2 CONT 
2 CONT Clamor Johannsmeyer filed for a homestead as soon as he arrived in the United States in 1865
2 CONC .  He then purchased additional land from Eric Linquist.  His land included Tract No. F621
2 CONC .  It contained about 190 acres including easement, lying below elevation 1140 (M. S. L.).  T
2 CONC he acreage not sold to the government for Tuttle Creek Reservoir was about one-quarter sectio
2 CONC n of land.  He also purchased 227 acres at Rose Hill which he sold to son Louis for $3000.  A
2 CONC ccording to Erna, "There was an old stone house on it, lots of rats, and many problems.  Uncl
2 CONC e John came, and he and Dad batch there until a new house was built by Gus. Ostaff, Wm Busche
2 CONC r, and John Toburen.  Acreage supposedly included 160 acres on Sec b, 160 acres on Sec 31, 32
2 CONC 0 acres on Sec 30, and 80 acres in Sec 25, all in Riley County, and 160 acres near Parallel i
2 CONC n Washington, County.
2 CONT 
2 CONT According to Erna Bisig, "I don't think Grandma appreciated his being away so much, but the k
2 CONC ids were glad when he was gone - had more fun.  He was very strict and really worked, especia
2 CONC lly the older ones."
2 CONT 
2 CONT Clamor facilitated the moves of his brother, Henrich Wilhelm Johannsmeyer (in 1870), and hi
2 CONC s half brother, Heinrich Ludwig Kaump (in 1871), to the United Stated to settle in the area
2 CONC .  Bruce Kaump, the great grandson of both Heinrich Ludwig Kaump and Clamor Adolph Johannsmey
2 CONC er, still farms and raises cattle on the Kaump homestead property today.
2 CONT 
2 CONT Clamor died of prostate problems and grip.  He is buried in Swede Creek Cemetery, surrounde
2 CONC d by Kaump's, Meisemeyer's, the Baune's (Boehne's), and the other families into which his fam
2 CONC ily married - Toburen, Richter, Oberhelmann, Meyer, and others.  It is truly a family cemeter

1 NOTE Anna Marie's parents were peasants farmers who lived on the farm of Baron Clamor Henrich Joha
2 CONC nnsmeyer and Maria Elizabeth Lowekaump in Wehrendorf, Prussia.  She was the only child and ve
2 CONC ry small, only about 100 pounds.
2 CONT 
2 CONT One evening, the peasant families were having a kind of party - a "Husking Bee."  The one get
2 CONC ting the "red ear" of corn would be kissed.  It was Anna Marie Baune that got it, and "out o
2 CONC f the blue" came Clarmor Adolph Johannsmeyer on his horse and kissed her.  Later, he came t
2 CONC o their home to see her.  Her father didn't like this, and told his daugter so.  He said Joha
2 CONC nnsmeyer's were not of their class, and warned her not to see Clamor Adolph again.  That didn
2 CONC 't stop them.  One time, Clarmor Adolph Johannsmeyer was with her in their small peasant hous
2 CONC e when her family was not home.  Her father came home, so young Johannsmeyer hurriedly got ou
2 CONC t of the house, and made his way through the horses and other farm animals until he got away.
2 CONT 
2 CONT Anna Marie left Germany with her parents after Clamor Adolph Johannsmeyer had established a f
2 CONC arm 23 miles north of Manhattan, Kansas (2 1/2 miles north of old Randolph)  on the Big Blu
2 CONC e River (now flooded by Tuttle Creek Reservoir).  They made their way here thanks to the supp
2 CONC ort of the Meisemeyer's and Fred Toburen.  Fred was the brother-in-law of Clamor Adolph Baune
2 CONC 's wife, Marie Elenore Meisemeyer, and lived nearby.  Marie Elenore's sister, Anna Maria Eliz
2 CONC abeth Meisemeyer who was married to Fred, was originally married to Charles Meyer.  When Char
2 CONC les drowned in the Blue River, Anna Maria Elizabeth Meisemeyer had sufficient funds to begi
2 CONC n sending for other family members in Prussia, which included the Baune's and their daughter
2 CONC , who was to be wed to Clamor Adolph Johannsmeyer.
2 CONT 
2 CONT In 1879, the family built an eight-room frame house.  Her son, Carl Frederick and Carl's son
2 CONC , Harry Elmer, were born in this house.  The Swede Creek Church they attended was six miles a
2 CONC way over rough ravine roads.  They used a lumber wagon for transportation.  Later a spring wa
2 CONC gon was used, and still later a carriage with top for curtains to help weather the cold nort
2 CONC h wind.  When weather would not permit the family to attend church, Clamor Adolph would gathe
2 CONC r up the family in the large dining room and read from a large book of sermons he had brough
2 CONC t with him from Prussia.
2 CONT 
2 CONT In 1895, they purchased the Parallel store.  The next year a cylclone hit it and did a lot o
2 CONC f damage.  The purchase was said to be unfortunate by the family due to so many moves, the de
2 CONC structive cyclone, search for grandmother (see below), Aunt Emma (Meisemeyer) Johnsmeyer's pr
2 CONC emature death, Amanda given so much responsibility at 17, and John being stuck there from 189
2 CONC 5-1902.  Clamor and Anna moved back to the homeplace in 1896 with John running the Parallel s
2 CONC tore.
2 CONT 
2 CONT Emma (Toburen) Johnsmeyer's story about Anna as told by Erna Bisig, "She was unhappy about ha
2 CONC ving to be at the Parallel store, walked out, and disappeared.  Grandpa sent Uncle John to ge
2 CONC t my Dad and Uncle Henry and they searched and searched for her.  Mother had Aunt Nellie wh
2 CONC o was crying so hard.  They even dragged the pond and finally gave up for a while to rest.  W
2 CONC hen Grandpa got home early in the AM, she was home asleep in bed, said she had been there al
2 CONC l night.  I don't think she ever told any of them where she had hidden.  It was a really dirt
2 CONC y trick, all felt especially sorry for little Nellie."
2 CONT 
2 CONT The family knew many hardships - Indian perils, drouth, and scarcity of food.  Anna often rec
2 CONC alled the grasshopper invasion of 1874.  According to Erna Bisig, "Grandma said she was lef
2 CONC t alone so much, had to trade with the Indians, feed the trampsk besides cook, bake, spin, an
2 CONC d sew for her many children, and she wasn't too well.  She loved her children, but I think sh
2 CONC e felt inferior to her huband. She was happy to have her folks to help her."  She would tel
2 CONC l German ghost stories to Erna.
2 CONT 
2 CONT Anna Marie sold the farm (called the "home place" and probably about 400 acres) ) in 1929 t
2 CONC o Mr. and Mrs. August Richter (Nellie Johnsmeyer), Anna Marie's daughter.  Anna Marie continu
2 CONC ed to live on the farm until she passed away at age 92.

1 NOTE Henry was born in the log cabin that his father purchased from Anna Maria Elisabeth Meisemeye
2 CONC r who was the widow of Charles Meyer and the wife of Fred Toburen.  Henry's father, Clamor Ad
2 CONC olph, purchased the cabin to set up a home so he could send for his financee, Anna Marie Baun
2 CONC e, who was a niece of Anna Toburen (Meisemeyer).  Supposedly, the purchase price for the cabi
2 CONC n and land was fairly expensive at $1,000.
2 CONT 
2 CONT From Johnsmeyer Family History: Henry Johnsmeyer married Mary Harrisberger of Winkler, Kansa
2 CONC s on November 25, 1890 in a double wedding ceremony when his sister Louisa Johnsmeyer was mar
2 CONC ried to Mary's brother Albert Harrisberger.  Immediately after their marriage, Henry and Mar
2 CONC y located on a small farm near Parallel, Washington County, Kansas, a place which they soon p
2 CONC urchased.  Although this was a reasonably good red-soiled farm on high ground, it compared ra
2 CONC ther unfavorably with farms in the lower areas which had a more productive soil.  So, when th
2 CONC e oppportunity presented itself for them to obtain a better location, they purchased a large
2 CONC r and better improved farm in the Grandview vicinity along Mill Creek, several miles east o
2 CONC f the town of Riley, Kansas.  Soon after that, they added a quarter section of pasture land t
2 CONC o their original acquisition, which enabled them to add cattle farming to their other operati
2 CONC ons.
2 CONT 
2 CONT Henry was a very capable businessman - cool, calculating, and practical.  He also was a ver
2 CONC y knowledgable farmer, and by the time he was fifty years of age, he had bought and paid fo
2 CONC r three farms.  After moving to his third farm near the town of Riley, Kansas, he purchase
2 CONC d a controlling interest in the Riley State Bank for investment purposes.  Following this acq
2 CONC uisition, he built a new house in the town of Riley, not far from where his bank was locate
2 CONC d and rented his farm to his son-in-law and daughter, Lee and Nora Goode.  He and Mary live
2 CONC d in their new home until the end of their lives.
2 CONT 
2 CONT Henry has been a member of the Evangelical Church, but on moving to Riley, he united with th
2 CONC e Presbyterian Church, of which he was a devoted member, serving efficiently as a memberof th
2 CONC e board of trustees.

1 NOTE Notes extracted from Johnsmeyer History:  Louis was born on the Johnsmeyer homestead two an
2 CONC d one-half miles north of Randolph, Kansas.  L. W., a very industrious and enterprising busin
2 CONC essman, died after a lingering illness; and his devoted wife Emma died less than a year later
2 CONC .  They had been married for over 62 years at the time of L. W.'s death.
2 CONT 
2 CONT The first five years of the married life of L. W. and Emma was on a farm near Parallel, Kansa
2 CONC s, Washington County, one mile north of the Parallel store.  he never seemingly cared for far
2 CONC ming.  Consequently, in early 1899, L. W. sold this farm to Henry Swenson, who owned a lumbe
2 CONC r yard in Cleburne, Kansas, and immediately moved there with his wife Emma.  It was there tha
2 CONC t their first child, a son, was born.  Elmer lived less than a month later.
2 CONT 
2 CONT In March 1901, L. W. left Cleburne and the lumber business and bought a farm at Rose Hill fro
2 CONC m his father Clamor; and it was at this place where their second child, daughter Erna, was bo
2 CONC rn.  Farming, however, did not have the appeal to match that of the lumber business.  So in F
2 CONC ebruary 1903, L. W. moved back to Cleburne where he established the operation of the lumber a
2 CONC nd implement business under various arrangements for about five years.  It was during this pe
2 CONC riod when their son Raymond was born.
2 CONT 
2 CONT On the fall of 1907, a little 8 year old girl, neglected by her father, came to live with the
2 CONC m, to go to school, and to help Emma with household chores.
2 CONT 
2 CONT In 1909, L. W. again got the farm fever and bought the Paddleford farm on Mill Creek in the G
2 CONC randview area, but after only a short period of ownership was forced to give up farming due t
2 CONC o a severe accident - a hay fork dropped on him.  Fortunately, he was offered the opportunit
2 CONC y at that time to move to Randolph, Kansas, to manage the Farmer's Co-op  lumber yard durin
2 CONC g the World War I period.  It also was during this period that he acquired the John F. Beckma
2 CONC n store which he owned and operated until 1921, when he sold it and moved his family to Manha
2 CONC ttan, Kansas.  But before leaving Randolph, L. W. bought a farm two and one-half miles east o
2 CONC f Leonardville, Kansas, entirely for investment purposes.  He rented it to Carl Toburen, Emma
2 CONC 's nephew until 1964.  LW continued the ownership of this place on a rental basis until his a
2 CONC nd his wife's passing, when it became the property of their children.
2 CONT 
2 CONT LW had hay fever very bad every fall and almost every fall had to go to Colorada Springs to b
2 CONC reathe.  In the fall of 1920, the home was closed, furniture covered, and with Mr. and Mrs. H
2 CONC anson running the store, the family moved to Colorado Springs.  With so much interest in tour
2 CONC ism and not education, LW decided they should return to Randolph.
2 CONT 
2 CONT After residing in Manhattan only a short while. L. W. was able to acquire, at a very attracti
2 CONC ve price, the Gold Medal Bakery located near the campus of Kansas State Agriculture College (
2 CONC later known as Kansas State University) which he operated successfully with professional an
2 CONC d family help for a number of years.  However, in the late 1920's, he had entered into a part
2 CONC nership in the feed and seed business, operating his share of the business with hired help
2 CONC .  This proved to be impractical and unprofitable because of unsatisfactory performance; so i
2 CONC n 1929, he turned over the management of the bakery to his children, dissolved his partnershi
2 CONC p, and returned to the feed store business full time.  At about this same time he gave his ch
2 CONC ildren part interest in the feed business, as he had done previously with the bakery.  At a l
2 CONC ater date, Erna became sole owner of the bakery, and Raymond sole owner of the feed business.
2 CONT 
2 CONT Louis retired from active business in 1942, but never lost interest in his farm near Leonardv
2 CONC ille.
2 CONT 
2 CONT On February 26, 1955, he suffered a stroke and was hospitalized for five months.  The followi
2 CONC ng 14 months, he was cared for in the home of his daughter, Mrs. J. L. Bisig.  On October 5
2 CONC , he developed pneumonia and was returned to the hospital where he passed away.

1 NOTE Information extracted from the Johnsmeyer family history document.
2 CONT 
2 CONT Louisa was married to Albert Harrisberger in a double wedding at the home of Louisa's parents
2 CONC .  This was a double wedding because Louisa's brother, Henry, married Albert's sister, Mary
2 CONC , at the same time.  Albert was born near Zurich, Switzerland, and passed away on the Harrisb
2 CONC erger homestead near Winkler, Kansas.
2 CONT 
2 CONT Life was very hard for Louisa in that it was full of hard work and sacrifice, and an unusua
2 CONC l amount of grief.  Since she was the second child of Clamor's and Anna's ten children and th
2 CONC e oldest girl, her first burden in life was to function as a second mother for her eight youn
2 CONC ger brothers and sisters.  After she married, she often said that she had no desire to have c
2 CONC hildren of her own in the early years of her marriage because when she left home at age 22, s
2 CONC he already had mothered eight children.
2 CONT 
2 CONT Her first great grief occurred when her husband died in 1907 at the age of 42 years, leavin
2 CONC g her with four small children under twelve years of age.  Her next period of sadness came wh
2 CONC en she was forced to leave her farm home in 1908 and move to Randolph, Kansas, so that her ch
2 CONC ildren might receive more than a country school education.  In 1920, they moved to Clay Cente
2 CONC r.  She accomplished this objective very well by 1920 when Elsie, her fourth child, graduate
2 CONC d from high school.  However, during this period she was made to bear the additional burden
2 CONC s of seeing her first son go to war; losing her second son by an untimely death at the age o
2 CONC f 20 due to a very sudden affliction of cerebral meningitis; seeing her third son lose his ga
2 CONC inful employment because of serious ill health, which requied many months of rest in a sanato
2 CONC rium; and then, witness the sad development of her fourth child and only daughter likewise be
2 CONC ing stricken with serious ill health.  Elsie lost her health shortly after she graduated fro
2 CONC m hgih school and was forced to spend many years in institutions in efforts to regain it.  Ha
2 CONC ving been made of very good metal, Louisa faced all of her problems and adversities with grea
2 CONC t fortitude.
2 CONT 
2 CONT Furthermore, because of her deep religious faith she was able to pass from this life with dig
2 CONC nity even after a long period of person illness and much privation.  At her funeral, her mini
2 CONC ster very fittingly eulogized her by saying "Mrs. Harrisberger was a good woman."  Her obitua
2 CONC ry states,"Havng passed through many sorrows and trying experiences in life, she still mainta
2 CONC ined her pleasant spirit and strong faith."

1 NOTE Note from Johnsmeyer History:
2 CONT 
2 CONT John was a very energetic and versatile man, especially when he was a young man, and eagerl
2 CONC y made the most of his opportunities as they presented themselves.  When he left home, he wa
2 CONC s given a team of horses and some farm tools, as had been given to two brothers before him, a
2 CONC nd he joined his brother Henry in the Parallel, Kansas vicinity to help him with farming.  Wh
2 CONC en Henry moved to Grandview, John went with him, and with Henry's help, bought a farm near He
2 CONC nry's in 1905, shortly before his marriage in May of that year.  Their only child, Alpha, wa
2 CONC s born during the time that they lived on this farm.
2 CONT 
2 CONT In the fall of 1916, John sold his Grandview farm to his brother Carl bacause their sister Ne
2 CONC llie and her husband, August Richter, had made arrangements with Mother Anna to lease the Joh
2 CONC nsmeyer homestead.  When John turned the farm over to Carl, he bought a house in Leonardville
2 CONC , Kansas, and worked in the bank for a short while before deciding to return to farming.  Acc
2 CONC ordingly, he traded their house in town for a small farm a short distance east of Leonardvill
2 CONC e.
2 CONT 
2 CONT John and Kate, his wife, lived on this farm for many years until poor health forced them to l
2 CONC eave it and move to Clay Center, Kansas, where they lived for the balance of their lives.
2 CONT 
2 CONT His obituary states, "In this quiet and unassuming personality, noted for its energy adn pers
2 CONC everance, were also found many other fine qualities such as honesty, kindliness, and sincerit
2 CONC y of purpose, which won him many friends."
2 CONT 
2 CONT John passed away at their home in Clay Center, Kansas.  His wife, Kate, passed away at the Cl
2 CONC ay Center Nursing Home.

1 NOTE Notes extracted from Johnsmeyer family history:
2 CONT 
2 CONT Herman's first wife, Emma Meismeier lived only eighteen months after their marriage.  After h
2 CONC is wife's death, ne moved to Swede Creek to live with his wife's parents.
2 CONT 
2 CONT From the standpoint of industry, there probably were no more active and enterprising young me
2 CONC n than Herman, because during most of his life, he was engaged in several occupations simulta
2 CONC neously.  His first occupation after leaving home was farming in the Parallel, Kansas vicinit
2 CONC y where he met and married his first wife in 1898.  However, soon after her untimely death i
2 CONC n 1899, Herman went to Dickenson County, Kansas where he operated a general store in Tampa, K
2 CONC ansas and farmed nearby.  At the close of World War I, about 1918, he moved with his family t
2 CONC o Marion, Kansas.  A very competent doctor there admonished him not to farm because of his ph
2 CONC ysical condition.  Soon, the cause of this was discovered and eliminated.  Very soon he was f
2 CONC arming again near where they lived in Marion, Kansas.  In addition to farming, he also worke
2 CONC d in real estate, insurance and investments.
2 CONT 
2 CONT In 1930, he and Mary moved out to the farm to weather out the depression which very seriousl
2 CONC y affected his business operation.  He was soon specializing in sheep and cattle and gaine
2 CONC d a reputation over a wide area for the high quality of his stock.  During this time,he was c
2 CONC ontinuing with insurance and real estate.
2 CONT 
2 CONT After several years, they moved back into town since he had a very competent young farmer wh
2 CONC o had been working with him and was ready to go into partnership.  He wanted to move his fami
2 CONC ly into the residence on the farm.  Herman and Mary lived in Marion, and he continued with hi
2 CONC s business.  In addition to his farming and real estate business interests, , Herman served f
2 CONC or a number of years as a member of the Board of Education, and was one of the charter member
2 CONC s of the Marion Kiwanis Club.
2 CONT 
2 CONT His wife, Mary, passed away very suddenly in 1947.  His daughter who resided in Seattle, Wash
2 CONC ington chose to return to Marion to live with him until he could adjust to his bereavement
2 CONC .  After several years, she married and he lived alone the last five years of his life, activ
2 CONC ely involved in community and church affairs.

2 CONT Both Nellie and August were life long members of the Swede Creek United Methodist Church.
2 CONT 
2 CONT Immediately after their marriage, Nellie and August began housekeeping on the Richter famil
2 CONC y farm in the Center Hill area where August was born.  In 1919, they moved to the Johnsmeye

1 NOTE Could speak only German when she went to school.
2 CONT 
2 CONT Shortly after Erna graduated from Randolph High School, the family moved to Manhattan, Kansas
2 CONC , where she could enroll at Kansas State Agricultural College.  After receiving a degree in H
2 CONC ome Economics, her first employment was teaching for two years in western Kansas (Smith Count
2 CONC y).  She then returned to Manhattan and started helping her father in the bakery.  She becam
2 CONC e the manager of the Gold Medal Bakery in 1933.  She sold rolls and other baked goods to frat
2 CONC ernities and sororities.  She sold the business in 1944.
2 CONT 
2 CONT Erna was a member of the First United Methodist Church, United Methodist Women, and the Women
2 CONC 's Club of Manhattan.
2 CONT 
2 CONT Erna did a wonderful job of recording family history.  Some of her stories follow:
2 CONT 
2 CONT "The Swede Creek community followed the German custom of holding camp meetings once a year
2 CONC .  The first once was held on the Fred Toburen farm.  People brought their food and tents an
2 CONC d enjoyed religious meetings for from one to seven days.  The camp meetings were held unde
2 CONC r a large tent in the Toburen Grove until a Tabernacle was built in 1914.
2 CONT 
2 CONT "The education of the children was also planned early.  Soon after the original Swede Creek C
2 CONC hurch was built in 1867, a log cabin school house was erected.  The children had been taugh
2 CONC t in one room of the Fred Toburen home until the new building was ready in 1870.  A 3-month s
2 CONC chool term began June 28th that year, but the next year, the term began Aug 5th.  In 1882
2 CONC , a stone school house was built.
2 CONT 
2 CONT "In these early days, families lived in tents, dugouts, or covered wagons until crude log cab
2 CONC ins were built.  Building material was plentiful along the river, but all work had to be don
2 CONC e by hand.  A fireplace provided hear, cooking fire, and light, until candles could be made
2 CONC .  Buffaloes provided meat for the family and tallow for the candles.  Log and stone fences w
2 CONC ere built after housing needs were provided.  The first successful enterprise was cattle rais
2 CONC ing and the first agricultural crop was corn.  Home laundering was done by hand in streams un
2 CONC til wells were sunk.  The well hole was dug by hand and rock lined the walls.
2 CONT 
2 CONT "The women gardened, sewed for the family, often spinning the thread, and weaving the cloth
2 CONC .  They made the lye, needed in soap making, from wood ashes.  Social life was rich in commun
2 CONC ity spirit.  Besides church activities, there were auilting parties, river skating, and hors
2 CONC e back riding. A branch of the Union Pacific railroad was built in 1884."
