Johnson County Military
"50 Years After"
by Charles R. Green
Register Publishing Co., Olathe, 1911
Names of the Old Soldiers living in
and around Olathe,
Johnson County,
Kansas, Who Took Part in the Civil
War.
The boys who went out 1861-1864 and
came home in 1865 and 1866 and who are yet
alive range from 65 to 80 years of age. Few
are under 65, some are over 80. The majority however are under 70. The names of
about 140 are given who either get mail out
of Olathe post office or who belong to the G. A. R.
Post, but are more removed.
Something less than 200 sleep their last
sleep in the Olathe Cemetery. Of this 140
given here 24 are Kansas soldiers. 45 of the
rest came to Kansas before 1874. Half of
the 140, I think, were farmers in Johnson
County within 5 years after the close of the
war, and of recent years have left their
farms and moved into town. Very few now
live out in the country. In good weather the
old boys congregate in the park and have
good sociable times, yet as winter and spring
come around how many faces disappear.
