MARTIN My father and grandfather lived and farmed in Sumner county, Kansas in the early 1900's. My father and mother were married in Argonia in 1921. I am trying to locate the specific area's where they lived/farmed. My father, Maurice Martin, graduated Excelsior School 1915-16. Two of his sisters also attended that school, Florence and Dorthy Martin. And they later taught schools in Sumner County. My grandfather, Thomas Martin was a farmer in that school district. My maternal grandfather was apparently farming that area about
1920. His name was George F. Summers. Any help will truly be appreciated. MC DONALD My grandmother's family moved from Missouri to Sumner County, KS in about 1914 or 1915. Her mother was Charlotte McDonald Taylor. I believe her grandmother, Lydia Page Sneed McDonald, may also moved to Kansas. Charlotte's father was William Walton McDonald born in 1821 in
Bridgetown, St. Louis Co., MO. He died 1896 in Pulaski Co., MO. He
had a brother john. William and Lydia had the following children:
Charlotte, William, Nora, Vandiver and Benjamin. William and his

Lucinda, James and D. Jamira McDonald, all born between 1850 and
1892. MILLER Robert Miller b.about 1840 in Ontario Canada. emigrated to Kansas
in 1870's and lived at Mulvane, Kansas. Married Elizabeth McDougall
