Summary Paragraph (Briefly describe the overall characteristics of the property and its location, setting, and size.) The Furry Homestead is a one-story, 22' x 16' stone building near the intersection of N.E. 20th Street and N.W. 10th Avenue in Kingman, Kansas. The surrounding landscape is an open agricultural field. The front (south) side of the building features one door and one window. The building is one room under a side- gabled wood-shingled roof and has no interior features. The building is in poor condition with severely deteriorated mortar joints and missing shingles on the roof. However, the building retains its historic integrity of location, setting, design, association, materials, and feeling. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Elaboration (Provide a detailed description of the building’s exterior, interior, and any associated buildings on the property. Note any historic features, materials, and changes to the building/property.) Kingman County is situated in the south-central part of the state of Kansas. In its early history, it was a vast area of treeless, undulating, long stem grass, with patches of buffalo and bunchgrass, depending on the nature of the soil. The Furry Homestead sits in an open field, approximately 300' east and 200' north of the intersection of N.E. 20th Street and N.W. 10th Avenue in the town of Kingman. The road today that borders the Furry Homestead to the south, N.E. 20th Street, was once known as the Old Wichita Road. The building is surrounded by open agricultural land, which is usually planted with hard red winter wheat. There is no distinguishing or specific foliage tied to the building and no plantings around it. There are no other buildings on the property. The Furry Homestead was constructed in 1878 and is a one-story rectangular stone building with a gable roof. It has a wood truss structure supporting a wood shingle roof. The Furry Homestead is simple, maybe as simple as a structure can be. It is four walls of equal linear length (22') and width (16'). The four sandstone walls sit on earth (not a solid foundation) and vary between approximately 18"-20" thick and held together with a mortar of sand, lime, and water. The stone was quarried locally in Kingman County, from the red bluffs (Quilan Loam USDA Soil Survey) just south and east of the site. The structure has two doors, one on the eastern elevation and one the southern (front) elevation, both a simple wooden frame. There are two windows, one on the west (under the gable end) and the south sides, both with simple wooden frames. The building is a single room, and there are no interior walls or obstructions within the structure. The rafting is exposed, and no ceiling appears to have ever been in place. The wood truss and shingle roof are supported by the stone walls that extend to the peak in the roofline. The wood trusses sit on the stone walls are spaced every two feet. The structural walls have been plastered and contain both plaster and exposed sandstone. The two doors, one on the south and the east, are standard traditional in size and location (the middle of each wall). The two windows are roughly waist-high with standard opening size. The Furry Homestead retains its historic integrity as a small native sandstone homestead building. While the condition of the original materials is severely deteriorated, they are still extant. Its historical identity is conveyed through the retention of the original features, and its original location, setting, feeling, design, workmanship, and association. It is a good example of a rural Kansas homestead. 3 Furry Homestead Kingman, Kingman County Name of Property City and County 8. Statement of Significance Applicable Criteria Areas of Significance (Mark "x" in one or more boxes for the criteria qualifying the property (Enter categories from instructions) for State Register listing) EXPLORATION/SETTLEMENT X A Property is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history. Property is associated with the lives of persons B significant in our past. C Property embodies the distinctive characteristics Period of Significance of a type, period, or method of construction or c1880 represents the work of a master, or possesses high artistic values, or represents a significant and distinguishable entity whose components lack Significant Dates individual distinction. Property has yielded, or is likely to yield, information D important in prehistory or history. Significant Person (Complete only if Criterion B is marked above) Criteria Considerations (Mark "x" in all the boxes that apply) Cultural Affiliation Property is: A Owned by a religious institution or used for religious purposes. Architect/Builder Franklin Furry B removed from its original location. C a birthplace or grave. D a cemetery. E a reconstructed building, object, or structure. F a commemorative property. G less than 50 years old or achieving significance within the past 50 years. Period of Significance (justification) The period of significance dates from the construction of the building in 1878 to 1904 when Franklin Furry died. In 1878, Osage Land Certificate No. 12171 was granted to Franklin Furry by the United States Department of Interior General Land Office. After making the required payments, Franklin Furry was granted a Patent Deed from the United States government on May 10, 1882. Franklin Furry held this land until he sold it to Myer Wheeler on February 3, 1891.1 Mary Furry moved to town after Franklin’s passing and later moved to Wichita to live with her daughter. Based on the information collected, it is unclear if there 1 Kingman County Register of Deeds Plat Book, Kingman County Courthouse, 130 North Spruce Street. Susan Hubble, Register of Deeds.. 4 Furry Homestead Kingman, Kingman County Name of Property City and County is a more appropriate end-date related to when the Furry family occupied the land – more research will be necessary. Narrative Statement of Significance Summary Paragraph (Provide a summary paragraph that notes under what criteria the property is nominated.) The Furry Homestead, located in Kingman, Kingman County, is eligible for listing in the Register of Historic Kansas Places because it is historically significant as a representation of western growth and settlement in Kingman. The year was 1878; the wild west was still in full swing as statehoods were being granted. Settlement in southern Kansas was difficult. The Furry Homestead, being built of local red sandstone, is a sight of permanence in a transient place. The Furry Homestead stands today as a result of its hardy construction and materials. Very few homesteads in this era still stand in the surrounding region. Some were constructed of sod or timber or have been altered with new materials. To have a homestead that over 140 years old that is still extant is uncommon in the community. The home has been a staple to the community’s history and is a good example of a historic homestead. The period of significance dates from the construction of the building in c1880s to 1904 when Franklin Furry died. Mary Furry moved to town after Franklin’s passing and later moved to Wichita to live with her daughter. Based on the information collected, it is unclear if there is a more appropriate end-date related to when the Furry family occupied the land – more research will be necessary.

    Details Back Cover CHECK OUT OTHER FISHING INFORMATION AT OUR WEBSITE: www.kdwp.state.ks.us Kansas fishing: We’ve come a long way, baby! hat's right. Kansas fishing isn't what it used to be. It's much more. Oh, we still have some of the best channel, Tflathead, and blue catfishing to be found, but today Kansas anglers have great variety. If you're an old-school angler and still want to catch the whiskered fish native to our streams and rivers, you have more opportunities today than ever. Channel catfish are found in nearly every stream, river, pond, lake, and reservoir in the state. They remain one of the most popular angling species. To keep up with demand, state fish hatcheries produce mil- lions of channel cats each year. Some are stocked into lakes as fry, but more are fed and grown to catchable size, then stocked into one of many state and community lakes around the state. Our reservoirs hold amazing numbers of channel catfish, and for the most part, the reservoir cats are overlooked by anglers fishing for other species. Fisheries biologists consider channel cats an underutilized resource in most large reservoirs. For sheer excitement, the flathead catfish is still king. Monster flatheads weighing 60, 70 and even 80 pounds are caught each owned, but some reaches are leased by the department through summer. Most of the truly large flatheads come from the larger the Fishing Impoundments and Stream Habitats (F.I.S.H) rivers in the eastern half of the state, where setting limb and trot Program, while other reaches are in public ownership.

  • The Fishes of the Chikaskia River in Oklahoma and Kansas
    ACADEMY OF SCIENCE FOR 1963 19 fhe Fishes of the Chikaskia River In Oklahoma and Kansasl GEOBGE A. XOOBE, Oklahoma A. and M. College, Stillwater and D. HOUR BUCK, Oklahoma Fisheries Beseareh Laboratol"J, Norman Like many other Great Plains streams, the Chikaskla River, a northern bklahoma and southern Kansas tributary of the Salt Fork of the Arkansas River, has received almost no attention from ichthyologists; few literature references to fishes from this river have come to our attention. Hubbs and Black (7) gave a figure of an adult male Oeratichth1ls (=PimephaZes) tenellu8 tenellus Hubbs and Black. Moore and Cross (16) discussed some specimens of Mozostoma aureoZum (LeSueur), and Moore (16) and Paden (19) reported Amphiodon aZosoi(Jes Raflnesque from the Chikaskia. The earliest known collection of fishes from the river system Is that of George C. Rinker and W. Ralph Taylor from Sandy Creek, a small tributary in Harper County, Kansas, on December 1, 1939. Various workers In Kansas and Oklahoma made some six additional collections during the next ten years, and these, with two larger series of collections made in the spring of 1949, are the basis of this paper. DESCRIPl'ION OF THE RIVER The Chikaskia River System drains 2060 square miles of the Great Plains Region. The Chikaskia proper arJses from springs and intermittent streams in the southern part of Pratt County, Kansas, and meanders In a general southeasterly directioll for 145 miles to its mouth near Tonkawa.

CONTRACT PERIOD: May 1, 1992 through February 28, 1994 I. Proeram Narrative Objective Number 26: To determine population structure and associations between biotic and abiotic variables with abundance and distribution of the flathead catfISh, Pylodictis olivaris, in Oklahoma prairie streams. II. Introduction: The flathead catfISh Pylodictis olivaris is native to the larger rivers of the Mississippi, Missouri, and Ohio basins from the Great Lakes, Gulf of Mexico coastal plain, and Rio Grande drainage into northeastern Mexico (Lee et al. 1980; Young and Marsh 1990; Quinn 1991). Non-native distribution from introductions and subsequent movements includes Florida, South Carolina, Idaho, Oregon, Washington, Arizona and California (Lee and Terrell 1987; Young and Marsh 1990). Flathead catfISh are an important fIShery resource throughout much of its range (Young and Marsh 1990; Pugibet and Jackson 1991), due to its fighting ability (McCoy 1955), large size (Quinn 1991), and palatable flesh (Jordan and Evermann 1920). Investigations of flathead catfISh populations from lotic waters have primarily centered around age and growth, population structure, movement, and food habits (Funk 1955; Cross and Hasting 1956; Minckley and Deacon 1959; Mayhew 1969; Cross and Hastings 1956; Guier et al 1981; Weeks and Combs 1981; Dames et al. 1989; Quinn 1988; Young and Marsh 1990; Coon and Dames 1991; Quinn 1991; Insaurralde 1992).
