When I moved on to the Sac Fox Diminished Reserve near Lyndon in 1880, it had been settled around me eleven years. While I had come, to Kansas in 1867, and settled first in Leavenworth County in 1868, being 16 miles from a good trading town I sold out and when next I settled, I chose Lyndon because I had a friend Orlando S. Starr and wife and others from our town in Ohio living there. And its well timbered streams, abundance of coal, good church privileges and a good class of eastern people besides its proximity to Topeka, Lawrence and Kansas City all pleased me. Its farm lands were very reasonable in price, ten to fifteen dollars an acre for improved farms.
