Dave and I are going to make a trip to Waterville in
Marshall County where my 3rd great-grandmother lived in the 1870’s.
I hope that someone at the historical museum can shed some light on how they
may have traveled from Charleston, WV to Waterville in the late 1860’s and the
route that they may have taken. I’ve been researching about the area and
although I knew that it was not easy living In Kansas in the 1800’s reading
about some of the hardships they faced really make it seem more real.
