This is the second meeting of this type. The first meeting was very productive and allowed many of us to meed for the first time. Now we have several new people who are interested in the history of the area and are working of projects of various kinds.
An irregular group of those of us who are interested in the history of the area are meeting Sunday, August 22, at the Winfield Public Library meeting room to :

Mr. Bottorff:-
Thank you very much for this opportunity. I will be there. I am new to
my job
at SC, but I already realize one thing very well: I will never succeed at
it
(one of my principal goals being to bring together sufficient documentation
to
allow someone to write a decent history of SC) without outside help. Before
the meeting, could someone give me a call (316-455-3832) as to the exact
time?
I would appreciate this. Thanks again for thinking of me.
Since you have kindly invited me into your midst, I thought it only right
that
you should know something about me. So I am attaching is my resume, which
I
have updated to included my work at SC, although I do not officially begin
until Sept. 1st. This glowing document will give you some idea of what I
have
been about the last few decades.
Today is my last day with the National Archives. Tomorrow, the movers
come and
my wife and I are Kansas bound. I am looking forward to getting to know
you
and your associates in Winfield and sharing with you my interest in history.
I
will be starting a new life with new interests--a new beginning, so to speak.
Best regards--
Jerry Wallace

Jerry, on my last visit to Winfield we reserved the large meeting room
at the Winfield Public Library on a Sunday afternoon and those of us
interested in the history of the area got together and introduced
ourselves and showed what we were working on and generally "networked".
It was very productive. I called Joan Cales today and reserved the same
room for August 22, 1999, when I will next be in town. I hope you can
put this date on your calendar. It should provide you with an excellent
opportunity to meet many people who will be important to you in your new
job. Also, this is just a nice group of people to know.
Hope you can attend.

Bill,
Have been a bit out of the net for a few weeks, due to Mother's condition
and the book, and job requirements.
No new revelations. Seems I have temporarily hit the old fence stump.
What
I do need most importantly and can't get to, is copies of the actual
records, minutes, or whatever from the coroner's inquests for Twigg, and
for
Bowman and Billiter. Though these were published in the Courier, I don't
trust the "reporter's" written record. There are too many "disparities"
in
the testimony, as written by the reporter. Need to compare the official
record with the reporter's.
Don't know where these records are, as both the Court House and City
Clerks
Office disavow and knowledge of them (per telephone calls). All seem to
point to the Cowley County Historical Society and probably having them amid
their other archives. We need someone with a large shovel to do some
digging. I just can't get back there to do it myself, AND, it can only be
done on a weekend due to the Society's hours. A volunteer, perhaps?
Other than that, I do have the probability that Twigg was not born in
Kansas, but in or near Cumberland, Maryland. Still working on the
verification of that. His uncle, I find, was a well digger and lived at
414
East 7th Street, next to the Lutheran Church.
Have almost got "MY" map completed -- large scale to depict
the major points
of movement of all players.
Will get back to you before you go to Winfield.
Bob

Bob, how is Old Twigg coming? Any new revelations? I am going to be up
in Winfield on the weekend of the 22nd of August and have reserved the
big meeting room at the Library for another meeting of the historically
inclined. If you have any questions you want to put before the group
you might want to send them to me. Otherwise you can just come yourself.
