The following two biographical sketches on Lewis Clogston (p. 1206) and his son, Jeffery B. Clogston (p. 1201), are found in a chapter on Greenwood County, in the book, History of the State of Kansas by William G. Cutler, published in 1883 by A. T. Andreas of Chicago. For additional detail, also please see the supplemental information on this family.

[Page 1206, town of Fall River] "LEWIS CLOGSTON, farmer, Sections 17 and 18, P. O. Fall River, is one of the leading farmers of this portion of the State, and one of the first settlers of Elk County. He is a native of West Virginia, but was raised in Washington County, Ohio, where in 1839, he married Miss Frances Kepple. His three children are J. B. Clogston, of Eureka (mentioned elsewhere in these pages), Mary E., now Mrs. J. D. Allen, born March 8, 1844, and Kitty J., now Mrs. E. Brockenshaw of this township, born December 9, 1859. Mr. Clogston was a brick-maker in his youth, and worked at it many years. He came to Kansas May 1, 1861, and located in Tescumseh, Shawnee County, until 1866, when he removed to Elk County, and was the first County Commissioner elected there, and the first settler of Longton Township. He has always been a strong Republican, and in fact was one of the refugees from Missouri. He having first intended settling in that State, but his voting for Lincoln as President made him a marked man in that community. He sold his farm in Elk County and purchased his present one of 208 acres in this county in 1881. He has 100 acres under cultivation, and being of opinion that to insure success, the farmer should first cultivate his land before his crops, he has been always very successful. His wheat yield has been twenty-five, and corn fifty bushels per acre, on an average for the past twelve years. He has a fine residence and orchard, and is one of the very few who have found it pay to raise clover, and believes that almost any grain or seed can be raised in Kansas if the land is first well tilled."

[Page 1201, town of Eureka] "HON. J. B. CLOGSTON, lawyer, was born August 19, 1840, in Washington County, Ohio, and educated in Winne­bago County, Ill. He subsequently became a teacher of youth, meantime reading law and medicine, and afterward came to Kansas in 1861, and in the sum­mer of that year enlisted at Tescumseh, in Company H, Eleventh Kansas Cavalry, and participated in the active duty of that regiment, until the spring of 1863, when he was detailed to scouting duty under Gen. Ewing, and remained on such duty until the spring of 1864, when he rejoined his regiment at Fort Leaven­worth, in September, 1865. Upon leaving the army, Mr. Clogston returned to Kansas, locating at Tescum­seh, Shawnee County, and resumed the study of med­i­cine with Dr. Huson. In 1866, he removed to Salt Springs, where he practiced medicine until 1875. In November, 1863, while on a leave of absence from the regiment, he was married at Tescumseh to Miss Mary R. Hoggland  [Note: She was actually Mary J. Hoagland b. 1847 Yates Co., NY, granddaughter of Dr. Richard and Mrs. Rebecca (Kress) Huson].  They have had three children—Louis E., born March, 1870; Robert H., born April, 1876, and Fred, born in September, 1878. Mr. Clogston was admitted to the bar of the State in June, 1873, and represented Greenwood County in the Legislature 1879-80-81, and has again been re-elected to the same honorable position. Besides his town property and residence, he owns upwards of 320 acres on Section 27, and in this county, of which 120 acres are under cultivation, with an average corn yield of fifty bushels to the acre. At present his farm is rented. Mr. Clogston is a member of the R. A. Chapter, of Dick Yates Post, No. 50, Grand Army of the Republic, and is a large share­holder in the new hotel company. He has a very large law practice, in which he is ably assisted by his associate, Mr. Fuller, and ranks as one of the most prominent men of Eureka."
