1902-1903 Chaplin School Souvenir listing name of pupils
Chaplin had a post office from 1890-1903, which was the year of this announcement.
I searched and have not seen any mention on the forum before of where Chaplin was. Can someone say.
Waldo, it was 3 miles South and 6 miles West of Howard in Section19, T-30, R-10, Elk County, KS

Thanks,
I just noticed that the 39 students had one teacher and the district encompassed Wildcat and Union Center Townships.
But maybe it was only a small portion of southern Union Center and northern Wildcat.
Lots of familiar names on the class listed including my granddad and his brother.
Dale, you are right about lots of familiar names. Logsdons, Streets, Schul, Westwoods, Ray Nicholson, I sold Ray some steers I had on pasture. I rented pasture in the section where the school was ( the school was gone by then), Gove McCormick had land in that Section and I rented Gove's pasture in the early 60's.
Which ones were your family.
Myrna's cousin married Walter Street's son Walter Eugene "Gene".
Dale, I have never been able to connect the Winns that lived there in 1900 to my Winns.
Dale, Myrna thought you were related to the Westwoods, is that the connection.
"John", thank you vey much for posting this great piece of Elk County history. Are your relatives listed on the class roster?
Yes, that is correct.
My wife is related to some of them, same ones as Dee Gee
John, does that mean we are related?
John, is your wife's name Joyce?????
That is what I'm thinking, but I could be wrong.
Waldo, I stand corrected on the location of Chaplin School, it was in Sec 24, T-30, R-9. It was across the road from Gove McCormicks house. Gove's house was in 19-30-10. I got out a better map and realized my error.

Dee Gee and Frawin the answer to both is yes
John, tell her hello from me. I spent lots of time with her brother when we were young and ornery. Jack was in my sister Myrna's class and Jim is the same age as my brother Bob.
