! Story of the Nicholas Gann family as written by their daughter, Eva Jennet (Gann) Cole, Jan. 1, 1940: My name was Eva Jannett Gann. I was bornd at Wagemego Kansas in Pottawattoma County May the 7 1870. My father was Nicholas Gann. His father was Abraham Gann his mothers maiden name was McKinley. My mother was Licinda Moor her mother was Jamima Meadows. I had four brothers and two sisters. The eldest was Sarah Jamima, born March 5, 1861 and died that August of the same year. William Samuel Gann born June 20, 1862. George Thomas, born December 28, 1863, John Wesley born January 27, 1865. Nora Alice married name Brown, born June 4, 1868. Eva Jennet, married name Cole, born May 7, 1870. Charles Alfa, born November 11, 1872. About 1874 we left Kansas and moved to Benton County, Ark. near Bentonville. Some of the family names of neighbors were, Cash, Strouds, Scags, McMinamy. I remember brother George going to Bentonville to see a man hanged. I think we lived in Ark. about two years then sold and went back to Kans. This time we went to Chautauqua Co. Kans. We went thru Baxter Springs, we saw a little girl playing with a doll. We begged for us a doll and Pap went in store and ask for doll babies, bought 3 china dolls about 1 ft. long. We settled down on a place on Caney river bottom. I went to my first school in Chautauqua Co. at St Paul. My teacher name was Hamelton. He was old, wore chin whiskers. The family names I remember, Susie, Lila, and Jesse Kahill; Henry Summers and Maude Pick. The Kahills came from Pottawatomie Co. too. They went back on a visit. Ma, Al (Alice) and me went with them. Charl. staid home with Pap and the boys. We went to Topeka Kans. One time on the road we stopped for water and the woman called me Nellie, she thought that she knew me. I guess she thought we were gypsies and they had stolen me. We got to Aunt Becka Fentons first. She was grandfather Ganns widdow daughter, they lived together. We went on and saw grandma Moore, she was sick. We went to Louisville and Wamengo, we crossed a creek, I think Adams Creek. We went and stayed with Aunt Becka and grandpa Gann, we never saw him again. He died after we moved to Mo. He lived to be near 90. The morning we left he rode off to keep from telling us good by. I remember his long white hair as he rode away. There was government land in Montgomery Co. Pap and a man name Geo. Brasel went and took up places. Pap put up a 2 store house. Our nearest neighbor was name Reader. When our new house was finished, the boys and girls back at Kaneyville came and we had a dance. It was the first dance I ever saw. I think so many times how nice they all looked dressed in white, some names I remember, Minnie Layton; Rillie Amos. There were may nice full blooded Indians around. They visited with us and wanted Pap to move down and tend their land. George had a bad spell of typhoid fever and we sold to a man named Gartney and moved in the territory on Caney River, on the big road (The Chisolm or Western Trail). It was lonesome and a wilderness. Panthers were heard at nite and Indians passed in droves. We were not afraid of the Indian or panther, but we were afraid of the droves of long horn cattle. The Indians had nice homes but would rent them out or use for a barn and live in bark wigwams. We all got sick that summer. Bill had a bad foot, the flesh came out of the top of it. He couldn't wear shoes before cold weather. The Dr. said a santafe had crawled over it. There was no school down there so Pap went back to Chautauqua Co. Kans and bought another place. While Pap was moving Geo. got bad sick. We were again on the Big Road, our old Dr. Canady passed and Ma had us stop him. He said that Theo. had Spinal meningitis. We finally got moved but we were all still having chills. There were 2 houses on the place. D. H. McFain and family moved in the other house. He was blind, they came from Taney Co., Mo. He was an Herb and Root Dr. living with his wife's father Abner McIntosh over on the prairie about 3 miles from us. Pap sold the place, I don't think we made a crop. We went to getting ready to go to Taney Co. Mo. We had lots of molasses. Pap and the boys took the molasses down in the territory to trade to the Indians. They could get a shirt and pair of shoes for a quart of molasses. They came back with a supply of red flannel shirts and shoes and I can't remember what else. We were soon off to Mo. We just brought 1 wagon and a lead horse. Our clothes were in a big chest that was big as wagon bed high and across. There was a 7 day Set Thomas clock. We brought a cook stove, name of it No. 8 Fashion. I can't remember when we started but it must have been in Mar. It turned cold and snowed a little. We put a pipe on the stove and run it up thru the wagon shet, we had fire in stove and cooked as we traveled. I know we landed at Jake Longdons April 18, 1880. We went to Church Meeting that night, big storm there too. The little Church was crowded, young men there without shoes, pants rolled to their knees. On Sunday after we arrived as many as 50 people came to see the people from Kans. I guess we did look like Indians. Pap and the boys in the red flannel shirts and Charl and I both had dogs. Mine a New Foundland and Charl had a blood hound.
