===================================================
William G. Cutler's History of the State of Kansas
Excerpt from the Linn County Section:
After the fighting was over, the dead were buried and the wounded cared for.
Mound City was converted into a hospital. Fifty-six Union wounded and about
sixty rebels filled all the available buildings, including the schoolhouse. T.
Ellwood Smith, Robert Kincaid and J. P. Way were appointed a committee to
receive contributions, and everything possible was done to alleviate the
sufferings of the wounded. Many incidents both of a serious and amusing nature
might be given were not space wanting. Nearly every house passed by the rebels
was pillaged of most that it contained. In many cases even women were stripped
of their clothing, and the flannel taken from infants in their mothers' arms.
Enforced cooking was an occasional occupation of the women on that day to feed
the rebel soldiers. A Mrs. Lathrop, about seventy years old, living just south
of Mine Creek, had thus fed rebel soldiers until she had nothing left but a
little corn meal, when three rebel officers came up and ordered her to get
dinner for them. She replied that she had only a small quantity of corn meal
left; whereupon they told her to cook them a few cakes and she should not be
disturbed any more that day. While they were eating she told them that if they
wanted to escape they had best hurry for "our boys are coming." When going away,
they attempted to make her give up a blouse she had put on to keep it from being
taken away from her, it having been left at home by one of her five boys, all of
whom were in the Union army. On account of her struggles to retain it, these
officers were detained until "our boys" came up, and were shot by them, so that
instead of gaining the Union blouse they lost their lives.

To Linda Cracke
Hi Linda, I'm so pleased that my late husband's Biggs family has finally been
found by you in the 1865 Kansas State census. I'm positive it is the right
family as everything fits so perfectly. Gwen sent a possible copy of William R.
(Ruben) Biggs sister Hannah's marriage to a Henry Kingsolver. The copy is of two
pages of a marriage register book and shows four marriages on the left page and
four on the right. At the top of the left hand page it says that Hannah Biggs
married Henry Kingsolver on July 9, 1880 in Bates County, Missouri. There may
have been some confusion that the brides name was Riggs, not Biggs but close
inspection of the script shows that the B was partially obscured by the J in
July on the line above it, so the misinterpretation could occur. It also states
that the marriage occurred at probably a town by the name of Elkhart or
something similar. Each of the 8 marriages listed shows 'home of brides father',
'in the buggy on the prairie of the new home' and other locations. What makes me
think that this is William's sister is that Bates Ct., adjoins Linn Ct., Kansas
where Hannah, her brother and their father, Ruben lived in 1865. These counties
are very small so the distance would not have been great. Since William and
Hannah's birthplace is listed in the census as Missouri it seems possible that
is where Ruben lived with his first wife, Hannah and William's biological
mother. In William's other much later census listings after he moved west, he
always listed his mother and father's place of birth as England. Now we know it
was in Kent Ct. I've been there several times but , of course did not have any
of this information at the time. It also lists the name of the town but so far,
I'm unable to make that out. If you have any questions, I sure hope you'll ask
and I'll respond with any clues I might have. I think it would be great if you,
Sarah, Gwen and I could get together some day!
Again, thank you so much for your diligent work. Diane

Mr. Biggs was born Feb 21, 1935, in M-F to Howard and Olga Petersen Biggs. He
grew up here and attended local schools, graduating from McLoughlin Union High
School in 1953. He attended Blue Mountain Community College in Pendleton.
Following his schooling, he entered the banking business in the Tri-Cities area
and later in Spokane. He then worked at Baker Boyer National Bank. He married
Rosalind "Lind: King on April 3, 1959, in Walla Walla.
He began working for the Milton-Freewater Police Department in 1961, a career
that would span 30 years. He became chief of the department in 1966 and retired
in1991. Following his retirement, he was employed by Pendleton Grain Growers.
Mr. Biggs was a member of the Oregon POllice Chief Association and had served as
president of the Horizon Board for 15 years. He enjoyed art work and was known
for his western oil paintings. He also enjoyed spending time at his cabin in the
Blue Mountains.
He is survived by his wife, at the home; two daughters, Michell Biggs of Walla

========================
Volume 2, Number 14 - April 12, 1995 - Milton-Freewater, Oregon
LONG-TIME M-F POLICE CHIEF BILL BIGGS DIES.
For half his life he was a fixture on the MiltoFreewater Police Department,
shaping the department as chief for many of those years.
But last week Bill Biggs fell victim to a pulmonary embolism. He was just 60
years old.
Biggs, a native of M-F always had praise for his community and pride in the work
he did.
" I loved it. If I had it to do over again, I'd do the same thing in the same
place," Biggs said in 1991, announcing his retirement from the M-FPD.
Born and raised in Milton-Freewater, Biggs joined the M-F police force in April
of 1961. In two years he had advanced to the rank of police in 1966.
Born just blocks from the office he used as police chief, Biggs graduated from
McLoughlin High School in 1953. He then attended Blue Mountain Community
College.
He began his professional career in banking, working in banks in the Tr-Cities,
Spokane and Walla Walla.
I got tired of the business and came back here," he said in 1991. "A job opened
up at the police department and I though I'd give it a try."
Biggs married Rosaling "Lind" King in Walla Walla April 3, 1959. The couple had
two daughters, Michelle and Megan.
While half his life was spent in law enforcement, Biggs was also well known in
the area for his artwork. In addition to a collection of western oil paintings,
Biggs also drew cards for friends having birthdays, anniversaries and other
special events.
Biggs also enjoyed collecting western artifacts and building furniture. He was
an avid student of history and was a storehouse of information on local history.
Biggs also entertained people as one of the best story and joke tellers around.
Many times he would tell stories on himself.
"No one can tell a story like Bill Biggs did," said Cheri DeBeaumont, economic
development specialist for the City of M-F.
Everone who knew him has their favorite Bill Biggs story. M-F City Manager Jim
Swayne recalled the time Biggs pointed to a hole near the top of the City Hall
building.
"He said there was a pigeon up there that particlularly annoyed him," Swayne
said. "One night when he left the building, he pulled out his service revolver
and plugged the bird."
Biggs was also not afraid to share with others his own pitfalls.
Biggs once told a story of when he went to a home to make yet another request to
move a trailer on the property that was in violation of city code. After
explaining the problem and the required solution to the irate homeowner, Biggs
went to return to his patrol car only to realize that he had locked his keys in
the car.
He returned to the homeowner's door and, when he answered, asked to use his
telephone to call the office for extra keys since he had locked his in the car.
"You're sure a dumb SOB, aren't you?" the homeowner snapped back.
"Yes, I am, "Biggs replied. "But I still need to use your phone."
Despite his pitfalls and willingness to share them, Biggs was a serious police
officer and proud of the things he had accomplished in his career.
He had a personal approach to the job of law enforcement.
"Sometimes, just by talking to people, calls turned out differently than they
could have," said Joe Strasser, who went to work as a M-F police officer just a
year after Biggs was hired.
Strasser also said Biggs was fun to work with.
"I have ridden with him for eight hours at a time and he never told the same
story twice," Strasser said. "My side hurt so much from laughing that I was glad
when the shift was over."
Strasser said there were many humorous calls over the years. He said one call
was for what was described as a dometic dispute. But it turned out that both man
and wife had been drinking and the wife had fallen and cut her chin on a counter
.
Strasser said while Biggs was talking to the husband, he placed a cold towel on
the woman's chin. She stiffened in reaction to the cold water and that drew an
angry response from the husband.
"He said, "You killed her!', and he wouldn't talk to us anymore," Strasser said.
When announcing his retirement, Biggs spoke with pride about the fact that he
hired a Hispanic officer before he retired.
He was a long-time member of the Oregon Police Chief Association.
After his retirement from the police department, Biggs went to work for
Pendleton Grain Growers in M-F.
Biggs was also active in community affairs, with a 15-year stint on the Horizon
board of directors among his community works.
Over 300 friends and family attended a memorial service for Biggs Saturday at
the First Christian Church.
During the service, his brother-in-law, Dean King, spoke warmly of Biggs and
shared yet another humorous story about him. This story, King said, illustrated
that Biggs began honing his ability to search for clues even before he became a
police officer.
" He came to the house one time when he was sparking my sister, Lind, and my dad
asked him what he thought of parties," King said.
After some thought, Biggs said they were all right as long as they didn't get
out of control. He was asked again what he though of parties.
"And Bill started searching for clues," KIng said. "Then he sar my father's
socks, which had little elephants on them."
Biggs responded, "Parties are great as long as they are Republican."
He was then wecomed warmly int the family.
