Description An account of the resource Rossville is fortunately situated in many ways—we are near a large city, Topeka, but far enough away to retain our own identity; we can be considered a bedroom community to Topeka since so many residents commute to work to the larger city; we are just north of the Kansas River and enjoy the fertile “Kaw River Valley,” which has benefited agriculture in our community since its very beginnings. From the early days, Rossville Township was blessed with fertile creek and river-bottom land, combined with the upland, which consisted of bluestem grass. The early settlers broke and cleared the bottom lands and part of the upland prairie. The settlers of the 1860-70s began farming and found the soil fertile and productive. However, the task of clearing the timberland and breaking prairie sod must have seemed insurmountable. Corn and wheat, the main crops, and cattle, hogs and other livestock-raising, became the basic agriculture of Rossville township. Many of these early farmers came to Kansas seeking land. They traveled by ox cart and wagon before the railroad went through, following the Oregon and other trails. Settlers bought land from the Santa Fe Railroad or from members of the Citizen Potawatomi Band, who were selling their allotment land. The first mention of early agriculture in Rossville comes from Dr. Gabbey’s account, written in 1886: “The Pottawatomi as a tribe never took kindly to agriculture, four or five acres in corn was a large field. Their fields were usually cleared up from the edge of the timber along the streams, as the Indian had little use for the Prairie kind.” One account gives the cost of prairie in the early days from $2.50 to $4.00 per acre. Lumber was worth from $25.00 to $39.00 dollars per thousand feet. Oxen cost $100.00 a yoke, mules from $100.00 to $200.00, horses $75.00 to $150.00, sheep $2.00 a head and chickens 25¢ each. Masons and carpenters received $2.00 to $3.00 per day in wages. Wheat was worth $1.50 per bushel and flour $4.50 per hundred pounds. From newspapers of 1877: “New corn brought in for shipment is getting 18¢ to 20¢ and corn huskers have been in demand at $1.00 per day and board; 2.5¢ per bushel thrown on the ground or 3.5¢ in the crib.” “Mr. Lambert James, a farmer living a few miles west of town has this season manufactured 1,500 gallon of sorghum molasses, which he readily disposed of at 50¢ per gallon.” But challenges persisted for early settlers. Although this was an extremely desirable area for agriculture and the raising of livestock, it was not possible for the early settlers to procure manufactured goods from the East without paying an extremely high freight bill. It was also impossible to ship their grain and produce economically. River freight was tried but the Kaw River often times did not have enough water to make shipping dependable so the answer to this problem was the railroad. Rossville’s answer came May 18, 1866, when the first train passed through the town. Corn was the main crop and early editors gave much space extolling its excellence. Corn cribs were numerous along the south side of the railroad tracks and on the east side of north Main. A water powered grist mill was located on Cross Creek north of town. Mulvane Bros. built a steam powered mill south of the railroad tracks. One of the earliest farmers was Henry Ford, who acquired 80 acres southwest of Rossville in 1864. His wife was the former Mary Nadeau, who came to Rossville from Indiana in 1862. Henry Ford came to Kansas in 1863 and was a stage coach driver for the Overland Stage Company between Topeka and Manhattan. He met his wife at “Buttermilk Station” where she worked for her brother, Big Alex Nadeau. While working to clear their land of timber and build a log house, they lived in one room of a three room house, west of Cross Creek, north of the old Oregon and California trails. The other two rooms were occupied by Dr. and Mrs. R.S. Gabbey and Mr. and Mrs. C.W. Higginbotham. After the Fords moved into their log cabin, Mrs. Ford often rode horseback nine miles with her baby to the mission in St. Marys. The first flowers she had to plant by the cabin were given to her by the nuns at the Mission. Another early farmer, John DeGraff settled south of Rossville in 1865. He and his wife, the former Frances Navarre, lived in a small dugout until their house was built.

Title A name given to the resource The Grasshopper Year, Rossville, Kansas Description An account of the resource THE GRASSHOPPER YEAR - taken from Rossville Reporter July 2, 1936 Despite the lurid tales which are creeping into news reports of the hordes of grasshoppers sweeping like tornadoes over and through some of the plains states, there are plenty of men and women in this area who must be saying that the present generation hasn’t seen anything yet, that it doesn't know what a real grasshopper invasion is. Those men and women date back to 1874, soon after the prairie sod was first broken, when living under pioneer conditions was difficult at best. They or their parents, had pushed westward into Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska and other states west of the Mississippi. They saw a phenomenon which must have rivaled that historic happening recorded in Exodus, when the "plague of locusts” completely denuded Egypt. It is interesting to recall what our elders told of the grasshopper invasion of 1874. Thousands of “Preemptors” were depending upon their first crop to see them through. The spring gave great promise and even in July a bountiful harvest was forecast. There was drought, there were hot winds, but there was enough of subsoil moisture to pull the crops through. Then, in the latter day of July, calamity dropped from the sky. Scanning a brazen horizon for signs of rain, farmers saw instead a strange cloud in the northwest moving like the wind, with the sun glinting from millions of points. It was the grasshopper horde. It swept on and on, but always dropping enough of the hoppers to denude every green thing. Corn fields melted before it leaving merely the woody stalks. Trees the settlers had nurtured on a barren plain were left stripped as for winter. Grass disappeared. The hoppers became green from their diet and they fed upon each other. Men, women and children stood helpless with slowly starving livestock about them. There were several railroads penetrating the plains even then and the East sought to help with shipments of supplies, but the hoppers, with a fine carelessness for life and limb, settled on the rails and supplied a greasy cushion which stopped trains. They got into wells and cisterns, they settled down in dying masses in the open springs. For days their movement dimmed the sun. Then the hoppers burrowed into the earth and laid their eggs. No more were they visible. Farmers, new to the area, believed the plague was finished and they returned with new courage to their plows. Then, the following spring, the new brood hatched and while the devastation was no greater, the resources of the settlers were lower, and 1875 just about closed the book for great areas. Then, strangely, the hoppers began another migration and the plague really was ended. The inherent courage of man repeopled the land, and they can afford to laugh at the present puny grasshopper army —- K. C.

This was the result of a treaty of 1816 which granted the Pottawatomie's a portion of the old Kansas reservation. Later, a portion of this tract was destined to become the townsite of Silver Lake, KS . It is generally believed that Silver Lake derived its name from the clear and silvery waters of the lake.

A committee was formed to investigate the library needs of the high school and grade school and to seek information regarding a library for the city of Bonner Springs. The idea was put on hold during World War II but not forgotten. On February 7, 1946 the Round Table Club appointed a committee to meet with local groups interested in a library. On April 15, 1946 representatives of eleven women’s groups met at the high school to discuss plans for a public library in Bonner Springs. The name chosen for the group was The Bonner Springs Library Association. It consisted of members from each of the following women’s clubs: B.P.W., Lake Forest, W.S.C.S., Round Table, Eastern Star, New Century, Reading Circle, Relief Corps, City Teachers, Women’s Council and Sodality The Library Association named May 1, 1946 as “Book Day” and asked each member to donate a book, writing her name, the year and the name of the club on the fly leaf. It was agreed upon that a charge of $.10 per week be made on current books and a family library card be issued at $1.00 per family. For the next nine years the library was supported by donations and money collected from library cards. Mayor George Meyn and the city council gave permission for the library to occupy the room above city hall and July 1, 1946 was set as opening day but because of delays it did not open until February 11, 1947. Miss Lillian Everett was the first librarian and was paid $.25 an hour to work Thursday and Saturday afternoons. The total circulation for the first year was 1440 books. On June 5, 1955, with the support of voters, the library became city owned. In 1963 the library was moved across the street from city hall. The circulation for that first year was 21,513 books. In September of 1987 the Bonner Springs City Library would move once more from the small and limited space at 212 E. Second. The new facility, located on the lower level of the community center provided three times the space and a separate room for story time but after 20 years the library began to suffer from growing pains. With the purchase of the Sacred Heart School property in February of 2006, a building committee was formed which included community and library board members to help plan for the various needs of a new building. September 12, 2006 voters overwhelmingly passed the bond issue by 80% of the votes for a new library. On a cold and snowy morning, December 12, 2007, close to 100 onlookers watched as the Bonner Springs City Library staff, board president Judy Anderson and Mayor Clausie Smith broke ground for the new facility. After many months of watching the building go up, July 12, 2009 the new Bonner Springs City Library opened to hundreds of anxiously awaiting patrons.
