Spent time on Fold3, as he would be the right age for CW service. Several William A. Hills from IL, but nothing to suggest which one might be him. Also soldiers/sailors site, which offered these possibles: Hill, William A. Side: Union Location: Illinois Battle Unit: 148th Regiment, Illinois Infantry Function: Infantry Hill, William A.

• RESEARCH: Received from Ann Boll, Ancestry message, 8 April 2017. Suggestions for further research. Hi, Janis! I think Deborah is the daughter of George Hill and sister of William Hill, too. Deborah married Edward T. "Red" Beard on 29 May 1856 in LaSalle County, IL. As you noted, they were living in Macoupin County at the time of the 1860 census. The 1865 Kansas census shows the Beard family living in Leavenworth, KS, Edward's occupation is listed as 'teamster.' In the 1870 census, Deborah and their daughters are living in Pleasant Hill, Cass County, MO, while "Red" is nowhere to be found in the census. It's about this time that life gets interesting for Red Beard... you'll need to Google Rowdy Joe Lowe and Red Beard to get the full story. I would recommend the book "Rowdy Joe Lowe: Gambler with a Gun" by Joseph G Rosa, it has the most complete and accurate story I've found. Red Beard's probate file on Ancestry is also quite interesting and informative. After Red Beard's death, Deborah and the girls moved to Wichita to salvage what they could from her husband's estate. Apparently Deborah never divorced him, so she inherited what little he owned although his mistress, Josephine DeMerritt, tried to forge documents saying he had deeded the dance hall over to her. Deborah died in 1906 in Wichita and is buried next to Red Beard in Highland Cemetery in Wichita. I am no relation to any of these people - I am just fascinated by the characters that inhabited early Wichita before 1900. I've been collecting research for about 15 years now in the hope I can write a book about some of them after I retire later this year. They are definitely not boring!! Let me know if there is anything specific you would like for me to share with you! Ann Boll Wichita, KS

• Newspaper Article: 28 Nov 1873, Burlingame, Osage County, Kansas, USA; A Bad Man Gone E. T. Beard, a notorious dance-house keeper at Wichita, died a few days ago from wounds received in a row in his house some two week since. The Eagle says Beard was formerly from Beardstown, Ill., which place was laid out and named after his father, who was wealthy. He was well educated, and had a Christian training. He has three children, two daughters and a son, nearly grown, who are now attending school somewhere in the east, and know nothing of their father's wild life in the west. He was about 45 years of age,straight as an arrow, red hair, which fell in a profusion of curls upon his shoulders. Beard remarked to his physician before his death that he followed the disreputable business only in the hopes of getting a start in the world agaid [sic], but if he got over his wounds he would never go in side of a dance house again.
• Newspaper Article: 11 Dec 1873, Leavenworth, Leavenworth County, Kansas, USA; "Red" James Kelly, the editor of the Winfield Courier, who was in Wichita the day "Red" who was buried, was acquainted, with the desperado in his early life, and in his paper makes the following interesting note:

  "Red was none other than Ed. Beard, whose father gave to Beardstown, Cass county, Illinois, his name. We remember Ed. Beard as a jolly, rollicking young man, without a single bad trait in his make up. He married an estimable young lady near Virginia, Cass county. The writer of this article met "Red" last July at Wichita, for the first time since he left Illinois, ten or twelve years ago. He then gave us his solemn promise that so soon as the Texas "season" was over, he would abandon forever his wild, infamous life. The next time we saw him was in his coffin, and while we stood and gazed on that lifeless clay, going back in thought to his wild, reckless life for the last twelve years, in California, Oregon and Arizona, where his name was a terror to everybody, we could hardly convince ourselves that this was the handsome, jovial, gifted Ed. Beard. Verily, the way of the transgressor is hard. Peace to his ashes."

"THE SAD DEATH OF LITTLE MARK GARRETT.

Little Mark, the oldest child of J. J. & Clara Garrett, in going into the stable on Sunday afternoon, was kicked in the stomach by a horse, from which he died yesterday afternoon at 5:30. The animal seems to have been quiet ordinarily, and must have been surprised into kicking. The dear little fellow lingered in great agony until the silent messenger relieved him of his pain."

Other Events:

• RESEARCH: Something odd about this. It seems generally accepted across the internet that he died in 1929. However, his death cert lists father "[Gilmour?] Story" and does not name a mother. It also doesn't give a birth year close to the 1891 of the subject George. I can find little in newspapers, no obit or other story in Atchison Co. [from what is available at Newspaper.com, or GenealogyBank.com]. Uncertain if we have the right guy.

Spelled his "Storey."

Birth:
WWI draft reg gives birth date as 12 September 1891.

Died:
Death certificate on the Missouri State Archives site, for George Story, with this date of death. The informant had very little information. The birth year was stated as 1898 (which is not correct for our George Story), and the name of his father and mother was unknown by the informant.

However, in the details, it offers the fact that he came down with pneumonia in Westboro, Atchison Co MO. He was known to be in Atchison Co.
