Dear Mr. Walker:

Your column in the Osborne County Farmer is the first part of the paper I look at every Monday. Somewhat over two weeks ago, I saw the death notice of Frank M. Leebrick, an Osborne county pioneer, who married my mother's sister, Elizabeth McCallister. Although only an uncle-in-law, he was an uncle-in-fact as well. Many of my most precious memories center in their home, and around their family life. As soon as I learned of his death, I wrote to his sons for details, but they could tell me little more than I remember of him. On September 27th he was ninety-two years of age, and passed away in his sleep on December 14th. There was no illness, just the bodily feebleness of old age. His mind, however, was clear and bright, and his memory exceptionally keen. Particularly could he recall the tragedies and joys of pioneer days, and delighted to talk of his early-day experiences. Just a short time before his death, he laughingly told his son of singing in a church choir when he was young, and mentioned the year without hesitation. Indeed, he could date any event of his life, and many public happenings, always with entire correctness. His coming to Kansas was in 1871, as secretary of the Pennsylvania Dutch colony which settled in Osborne county and founded the town of the same name. It was a pleasure to him to tell of being on the committee to name the streets. In addition to this and other public services, he homesteaded a claim south and a little west of the city proper, somewhere near the river I think it was. My aunt "Lizzie" came to the new settlement a year later, and they were married about 1874. For the first two years, they lived on their claim, in a dugout, and their first child was born there. After that, they sold the place and moved back to town. The general opinion of their friends was that "Lizzie and Frank were not born for the country". Anyway, he opened a grocery store in Osborne, across the street from Chan Baldwin's drug store. The property next door to the grocery being vacant, Uncle Frank rented that also. By putting up partitions, he made living quarters in the back, and Aunt Lizzie conducted a millinery store in the front, with what I used to consider "very splendid" show windows on the street. Here they lived for several years, but with increasing prosperity, they closed out the millinery store, and built a comfortable dwelling on another street. This was not enjoyed very long, being destroyed by fire. After this disappointment, Uncle Frank decided to open a general store in what is now Alton (then Bull City), but for some reason, this venture was none too successful. His enthusiasm turned once again to land. In western Kansas he acquired several hundred acres for a stock farm, raising Hereford cattle both for beef and breeding. It was on this place that he spent his declining years. Aunt Lizzie preceded Uncle Frank in death by about fourteen years. Their youngest son, Roy, died in an accident two years later. Broken in health and spirit by these two blows, Uncle Frank retired from active duties, his oldest son Charles carrying on the stock farm. The second son, Max, is a druggist located in Oklahoma. The only daughter, Alice (or "Ally" as she was called) also survives her father. Besides these three, there are five grandchildren and one great grandchild. Frank M. Leebrick, as all who knew him will agree, deserves a finer obituary than I am able to write. The qualities of heart and mind which he displayed have made life easier (almost too easy) for a generation that must bring to its problems the same wisdom which his required. It is such as he who reflect credit on the pioneer period of our state and national history. Thank you for giving space to those who lived in an era so important to our development, yet so unknown to those who must carry forward our destiny.

Very sincerely Nettie Korb Bryon (author of "Prairie Days")

Nov 21, 1940 Citizen-Patriot Newspaper, Atwood, Ks. obituary : "Frank Edwin Leebrick was born in Dublin, Indiana on September 27, 1848 and departed this life on November 8, 1940, at the age of 92 years, 1 month and 11 days. He spent a few years of his early life working in Cincinnati, Ohio, 75 miles from the place of his birth. In 1870 with an ox train, he crossed the Missouri river driving a six ox team. Later he homesteaded in Osborne County, Kansas and there in 1872 was married to Miss Lizzie McClester. He then sold his farm, moved into Osborne, where he and his wife were jointly in the grocery and dry goods business for twenty-five years. There were five children Allie, Charlie, Max, Roy and Willie. Roy, Willie and their mother preceded him in death. After the children had grown and finished school, the family came to a farm 20 miles above Atwood, on the South Beaver (creek), where Mr. Leebrick resided until the passing of his second wife, Mrs. Vannie Toland, whom he married in Chicago. They enjoyed life together for three years. Then he made his home with his son Charley and family until his death.

He was a firm believer in God's power to save and help keep those who love Him. His testimony was "I love my Jesus."

The only member of his immediate family is his brother, C. W. Leebrick of Long Beach, California.

He leaves to mourn his passing his three children, five grand children and two great grand children.

Funeral services were held at the home Sunday and the body laid to rest in the McDonald Cemetery. Rev. Dahlgren, who had visited and prayed with grandpa many times during the last several years conducted the services.

Not a tie is broken, not a hope laid low, Not a farewell spoken but our God doth know, Every hair is numbered, every tear is weighed in the changless balance wisest love has made. Power eternal resteth in His changeless hand; Love immortal hasteth, swift, at His command, Faith can firmly trust Him in the darkest hour For the key she holdeth to His love and power."

4 Feb 1926 Kansas City Star Headline: SEEK A "LOST HONEYMOON" Subcaption: Parental Objections No Longer a Factor in Romance of Frank T Leebrick, Northwest Kansas Ranch man and His Bride

Chicago, January 28. More than a half century ago Frank T. Leebrick and Fannie Rodenburg were sweethearts in Richmond, Indiana. They planned to be married but Fannie's parents objected when Frank decided to strike out for himself and take land in Kansas. So they separated and he took the land, one thousand acres near McDonald. In 1870 he heard she had married. Two years later he was wed. Their mates died, hers in 1918 and his in 1923. A few months ago the girl, then Mrs. Toland, 73 years old, wrote to Mr. Leebrick's sister in Santa Barbara, California not knowing she had died. The letter was forwarded to Leebrick in Kansas. He took the first train to Chicago. Since the two had parted in Richmond, they had not seen each other until last Sunday. But Leebrick lost no time in renewing his suit and they were married yesterday. He is 77 years old. Today they were going back to Kansas, in search, as the aged bridegroom phrased it, of "a lost honeymoon." --K. C. Star

"Wayne County Gazetteer", page 52 in section titled "Richmond City Directory", courtesy of Barney Thompson, Indiana State Library, 140 N Senate Avenue, Indianapolis, In. 46204 includes the following listing.
Lebrick, Frank, Blacksmith J. S. Hunt bds same

"Original Land Owners of Osborne County, Kansas" by Mildred Minear shows Frank E. Leebrick's homestead property as being in Penn township, Range 13, the North half of the north half of section 25. According to a topographic map on the first page of that publication, his property would have been bordered on the south by Covert Creek and the next section to the north was crossed by the south fork of the Solomon River. The section "kitty cornered" to the northeast of his section included Osborne City. The book "Sod and Stubble" by John Ise describes the homestead experiences of Henry and Rosie Ise of Osborne county. Their homestead is given as the northeast quarter of section 19, range 11 of Ross township. This property was in the township "kitty cornered" to the northeast of Penn township and in about the same location in the township as Frank's property. Therefore, it is quite likely that the Ise family was one of those which shopped at Frank and Elizabeth's store in Osborne.

Thursday Nov 7 1940 "Citizen-Patriot" has a 1" ad entitled "Rawlins County Farms For Sale" The Rawlins County National Farm Loan Association has accumulated approximately 25 farms which they are anxious to place into the hands of deserving farmers. The prices are at rock bottom and the terms may be made to fit the case. You cannot afford to rent when you can buy a farm on rental terms. See E.C. Mellick, Secy-Treas.' Therefore it seems Charles Leebrick must not have been the only farmer to lose his farm in those days.

Nov 17, 1940 "Citizen-Patriot" (Atwood, Kansas) front page carried the following note, next to the report of election returns. 'DEATH OF FRANK LEEBRICK The many friends of the Leebrick family will be saddened to learn of the death of Frank Leebrick which occurred at 10 pm Friday. Funeral services were held Sunday at the home of his son, Charles Leebrick. Interment was made in the McDonald cemetery. Mr. Leebrick lived for many years at his home some 22 miles southwest of Atwood on the South Beaver, his family being well known and highly respected in the county. Mr. Leebrick and his first wife were old time friends of Miss Jessie Hale and Mrs. W. C. Littell while both the Leebricks, Miss Hale and Mrs. Littel lived in Osborne county.'

The Nov 21, 1940 "Osborne County Farmer" reprinted the Citizen-Patriot's front page story.

Dec 12, 1940 "Osborne County Farmer, in a regular column by B. P. Walker entitled "Deacon-Layman Notes" the following remarks were found. 'Saw recently in country correspondence in the Farmer a note on the death of Frank M. Leebrick in western Kansas. Frank Leebrick was the first city clerk of Osborne and a moving spirit in the doings of the town in its first and primitive days. Mrs. Leebrick was a sister of Mrs. Nettie Korb-Bryson, author of "Prairie Days", most of the scenes of which are laid in Osborne county. I laid this paper aside to write more about this early day pioneer and, of course, I can't find it now. Mr. Leebrick left Osborne some forty years ago and lived first at Hoxie.'

The December 15, 1876 issue of "Osborne County Farmer" has a business card on the front page which reads: "A NEW BUTCHER Having bought the meat shop from Mr. Chas. Dimick, I am prepared to furnish Fresh Meat Every Day, at Mr. Ed. Garrigues' Ice House, where meat can be had at all hours. Prices low. Give me a call. FRANK LEEBRICK." This issue also carries an advertisement for Lizzie's millinery store, which had the following text: "NEW MILLENRY STORE MRS. FRANK LEEBRICK Keeps a fine assortment of Millinery and Ladies Fancy Goods. The ladies of Osborne city and vicinity are invited to call and see for themselves, and please examine my fall and winter stock, which will be sold at the most reasonable prices."

Feb 9, 1877 "Osborne County Farmer" reports "Mrs. Frank Leebrick keeps a very fine stock of goods in this (millinery) line, and is prepared at all times to fit her lady customers out with the latest fashions in head-gear. She has just had completed a neat building in the main part of town, which she expects to occupy in a short time, and doubtless will be second to none in a the great northwest doing business in that line."

Aug 3, 1877 "Osborne Count Farmer" advertisement has this text: "A NEW BUTCHER. Having bought the meat shop from Mr. Chas. Dimick, I am prepared to furnish Fresh Meat Every Day, at Mr. Ed. Garrigues' ice House,where meat can be had at all hours. Prices low. Give me a call. "

November 30, 1877 issue of "Osborne County Farmer" lists the current Township Officers. For Penn township, the officers were Trustee, W. N. Breidenstien; treasurer, J. J. Hays; clerk, F. S.(?) Leebrick; justices, J. J. Proctor, F.R. Grugar; constables, A. Anderson, Floyd Field. This may be the basis of saying that Frank Leebrick was the first clerk of Osborne City, since Osborne was contained in Penn township. I have not found any record of election of Osborne city officials in the 1876-1880 issues of "Osborne County Farmer".

In the same issue as above, is found the comment "From one hundred to one hundred and fifty wagon loads of emigrants for Kansas have been crossing the Missouri river at St. Joseph daily for a month past". Perhaps this is the crossing point that Frank used as he moved from Indiana to Kansas.

March 8, 1878 issue of the "Osborne County Farmer" appears this information which suggests Frank had some public graces. "The dramatic society have decided to present their first play, 'Ten Nights in a Barroom', the sterling temperance drama from T. S. Arthur, on Wednesday evening, the 20th instant. The society are devoting their best efforts to preparation in order to make a success and gain a reputation for the future, devoting about every other night to rehearsal. The personnel of the play will be as follows: Sample Swichell-Mr. F. Barnes; Simon Slade-Mr. F. Leebrick; Joe Morgan-Mr. A. Saxey; Frank Slade-Mr. Geo. Ross; Harvey Green-Mr. J.A. Wilson; Mr. Romain-Mr. R.R. Hays; Willie Hammone-Mr. C.W. Baldwin; Mrs. Slade-Miss Crampton; Mrs. Morgan-Mrs. Saxey; Miss Hammond-Miss Mollie Reasoner; Mary Morgan-Floy Reasoner; Mehitable Cartright-Mrs. Yoxall. Beside the leading play there is to be a short one entitled "Saracea Brothers," in the form of a dialog, and the entertainment will close with a comical farce entitled 'Dandelion's Dodges'. We think it is safe to promise the public an excellent entertainment, and we hope the efforts of the society to contribute a source of public amusement will be encouraged by a good audience".

March 29, 1878 issue of "Osborne County Farmer" a very positive review of the play's production was given saying that "our folks 'did it up' in a manner" that had never been seen locally. Opinion was expressed that an encore performance should be given. Apparently, that request was granted, since in the April 12, 1878 issue of the newspaper, an even more gushing review was given to the second performance. The next year, the drama society presented "Uncle Tom's Cabin", but Frank Leebrick apparently did not participate in that performance.

April 10, 1879 "Osborne County Farmer" remarks that "Messrs. Hatch, Nouamaker, Leebrick, C. Reasoner, Watrson^Gillette, Walker&Son, Fritchey and Keever, are the most recent who have complied with the law in regard to sidewalks, and others are about to do so".

January 1, 1880 "Osborne County Farmer" printed something like a city directory, with a city map and description of various businesses. Of Frank Leebrick's grocery store, the following is said "F. E. Leebrick owns reliable property on the north side of Penn street, where he conducts a grocery establishment, the goods of which have been recently purchased and are consequently good and fresh".

February 19, 1880 "Osborne County Farmer" carried the following report: "Considerable excitement was created on Penn street, Sunday afternoon, with the fast mare belonging to Mr. Peter young getting beyond that gentlemen's control and running away. Mr. Young and a companion were driving west on Penn street, when the mare suddenly darted forward on a gallop. In front of the City Hotel the left rein gave way, the frightened animal turned on to the sidewalk at Mr. Frank E. Leebrick's, ran against that gentleman's door, broke on of the panels, and finally threw herself upon the boardwalk. Mr. Young's companion leaped from the buggy, but the driver retained his seat. No serious damage was done."

May 20, 1880 "Osborne County Farmer". It's not clear whether Frank maintained ownership of the original land while he and Lizzie moved to town or not, but the following story suggests that he still owned the farm land. In that issue we read "Since our last issue there has been a decided improvement in the birth boom. The good wife of Mr. William Bradley, residing on Covert Creek, last Thursday presented her husband with a bouncing 13# boy, she being in her 48th year and this her twelfth child.... On Sunday, the home of Mr. E. H. Foster, on Mr. Frank Leebrick's place, was gladdened by the arrival of a cherub of the feminine gender-of average weight-the genial and highly successful Dr. Gibboney officiating. Verily,it's Kansas against the world for babies!"

Nov 25, 1880 "Osborne County Farmer" paid advertisement with the text "Having decided to close out my entire stock of groceries, I will during the next sixty days offer unparalleled bargains for cash. All goods marked down to cost. There is no humbug about this. F. E. Leebrick." This ad ran for four consecutive weeks beginning Nov 25.

Mar 1, 1881 "Osborne County Farmer" local news section reported "Dave Tindal, Charley Gillette, W. S. Neff and Dudley Johnson pulled out in good style for Colorado last Monday. At the same time, L. M. Clark, Henry Drake, George Taylor and F. Leebrick made a good start for New Mexico. We hope the boys will return smeared all over with gold-dust and their wagons loaded down with bullion."

June 9, 1881 "Osborne County Farmer" local news section reported Frank's homecoming: "Frank Leebrick returned from Southern Colorado Saturday evening. He reports times distressingly dull in that heritage, and found it extremely difficult to turn up an honest penny."

Oct 6, 1881 "Osborne County Farmer" local news reported that F. Leebrick was among a group of men who "attended the Atchison fair last week, being supplied with free transportation by the Missouri Pacific railway company, through Mayor Reasoner. We understand they had a grand time, and were returned home Sunday by a special train placed at their disposal from Downs."

Jan 5, 1882 "Osborne County Farmer" in a description of businesses operating in the city, listed Frank Leebrick in the Grocery listing. He must not have stayed "sold out" for very long. His wife appears in the Millinery listing.

From an unknown issue of the "Osborne County Farmer" we find the following: "The object of this sketch is to give, as near as may be, a history of this county from the commencement of its settlement to the present time, giving the history of its organization, the officers elected, its population, wealth, receipts and disbursements,debt and all other matters that may be gathered from the records wherever these facts are preserved.
There are several reasons for publishing these matters. One of the main reasons is that a great many of the "new comers" have requested something of this kind published. A majority of the people of this county at the present time may very properly be called new comers, who have no knowledge of the early settlement, organization and progress of the affairs of the county in which they are now building up homes, matters too, in which they all to a greater or less degree are interested.
The first settlement of the county began in 1870. We find that the US census of 1870 puts the population at 33, 12 of whom are located in township 6, range 11; and 21 in township 7 range 13. None of the counties adjoining are credited with any population except Mitchell and Russell; the former having 485 and the latter 156. During the next year quite an immigration poured into the county, and the question of organizing began to be agitated; towns began to compete for the county seat, and men to aspire to the official positions to be filled in the new organization.
These considerations may have had a great deal to do in bringing up the matter of organizing at a day so early, with but few people, less wealth and nothing with which to defray the necessary expenses of the county. It seems that the best policy would have been to defer the organization to a later day. Experience at least has taught us that the debt contracted in 1872-3 would have been avoided. Perhaps it is easier to see these things now, that it would to have foreseen them at that time.

In the May 19, 1876 and June 9, 1876 issues of the "Osborne County Farmer" a lengthy history of the founding of the City by the Pennsylvania Dutch colony is given. However, there is no reference to Frank Leebrick's role in the colony. The history given there indicates that the colony was from Berks and Lancaster county. If that is true, then Frank may have been an "also ran" within the colony.

From the Osborne County Register of Deeds, I obtained a copy of the satisfaction of Frank's Homestead Claim. It was signed in Washington on March 1, 1879 and was recorded in Osborne County on 22 Dec 1880. Because of the five-year time requirement to establish a homestead, that would mean he claimed the exemption not later than 1 Mar 1874. Due to bureaucratic delays, it could have been several years earlier. That document gives a Homestead Certificate number of 794 and an application number of 3993.
There is also a record of indenture, dated 25 October 1884, recording the sale of the homesteaded property to a Mr. Samuel Safferty of Warren county, Illinois for the sum of $1615. The sale was subject to the Leebricks clearing a $500 mortgage on the land.

From Ann Watkins at vcmth02u@dewey.csun.edu comes the information that the booklet "History of Bull City, 1870-1970, published by the Osborne County Farmer, contains on page 28, a listing of owners of various kinds of businesses in 1886 "Groceries and General: Beal and Taylor; Thurston; Fitzsimmons & Son; A. J. Runyan; Morgan Grant; T. M. Walker (wholesale); F. E. Leebrick." On page 67 of the same is a list of results of the city elections which were held annually :Election held April 1888, "Mayor, E. Grover; Police Judge, C. Marshall; Councilmen: L.G. Rhodes, Wm. Williams. F. E. Leabrick (sic), J. R. Loomis and H. D. Austin; Marshall, F. M. Nelson; Treasurer, N. Hill".
