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.

Manke, agricultural agent for the railroad in Kansas, has suggested that FFA, vocational agri¬culture, veteran trainees other or¬ganized groups attend morning ses¬sions to leave afternoons open to the farmers. On three previous trips the agricultural improvement car traveled 30,000 miles to 271 communitoies [sic] and had a total of 53,000 visitors.

Title A name given to the resource Union Pacific Highway, 1923, Rossville, Kansas Description An account of the resource July 19, 1923 L. E. Gomery, of Hays, Kansas representing the U. P. highway which passes thru Rossville over the same route as marked by both the Midland and Victory routes, was in the city Tuesday trying to get the local business men to give $100 as a donation to the U. P. highway association to be used in the expense of propaganda, map booklets, roadmarkers, etc. Mayor VanOrsdol got out a few business men to me§t Mr. Gomery in the afternoon in the directors’ room of the Rossville State Bank. No action was taken at this meeting. At the Council meeting Tuesday night, the matter was discussed again without action being taken. It is generally felt here that since Rossville is on three of the trails, any financial aid that is given by the people of the com¬munity should be divided up be¬tween the three and this prob¬ably is what will be done in the future. A representative of the Auto¬mobile Club, of Kansas City was here Monday trying to raise money for his organization, but according to Mr. Gomery, this Club has neither reason nor right in asking for funds, since all the maps and information the Club’s tourist bureau can use in direct¬ing tourists over the various trails is furnished by these highway as¬sociations, and the Club should be entirely neutral in giving in¬formation about the routes. Farther west the three highways use different routes and the com¬petition between towns on these routes is becoming very keen in bidding for the tourist traffic. The U. P. highway with white markers claims better night driv¬ing on its route in addition to a route 14 miles shorter than all others between Kansas City and Denyer.[sic] July 19, 1923 The latter part of August the U. P. highway association will have a speed car make the run from Kansas City to Denver un¬der conditions as the run made yesterday by the ‘‘Gray Goose” which made the run over the Vic¬tory highway , in an effort to low¬er the record set yesterday. Rossville is fortunate in being on all three trails and from a sel¬fish standpoint could sit back and refuse to dig up for any of them but such is not the attitude the business men want to take, be¬cause if the traffic is worth any¬thing to the town, the town in re¬turn should help bear the expense of trying to route tourists thru this part of the state instead of having them take the trails to the north or south of us. August 1, 1923 Mr. Hazelbaker, manager of the Midland Trail between St. Louis and Denver, will run a race against the time of the Rock Is¬land train between Kansas- City and Denver, Thursday August 10 He will use a Buick stock car and will endeavor to show that the trail is in such condition that a car can leave Kansas City and beat the Rock Island train into Denver. Practically all towns along the route have pledged Mr. Hazel baker their support in hav¬ing the road in readiness across their respective counties. City officials have promised to co¬operate to the extent of keeping the streets clear of cars until he passes through their city. Roads will be patrolled the entire dis¬tance. It is believed that this will be one of the best advertise- ments that the Midland Trail can possibly get. He will leave Kan¬sas City at 2a.m. on the morning of August 16, and expects to reach Denver at 9 p.m. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Rossville Reporter, Rossville, Kansas Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Rossville Community Library Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource July 19, 1923 August 1, 1923 Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Public domain Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource copies of newspaper clippings Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context RCL0566 Union Pacific Railroad http://www.recollectionsks.org/files/original/701f82a48724af22d39e3bb2de5607d4.JPG 9d7fdb3df58443a08d4666f0ceb736e0 Photo A static visual representation.
