| Anecdote |
- Charles, in hope of visiting his cousins, the Rulisons before returning to Parish, was on a raft trip, which was difficult. When he reached St. Joseph, Missouri he was very ill and had to enter the St. Joseph's hospital operated by Dr. Thomas Mount. There he had a nurse, Mary Jane Mount (daughter of the doctor) and the two young people fell in love. We do not know how long Charles was in the hospital, but on June 26, 1866 they were married at St. Joseph against the violent objection of the Mount family. She was disowned by the family for marrying a Damn Yankee and she never saw them again. On the Kansas side of the river was an almost continuous line of Indian tribes. the couple eventually reached Wyandot, Kansas, home of the Wyandot Indians, a village that was later to become Kansas City, Kansas. There their first child, Clara Alma was born March 16, 1868.
The family then traveled southwesterly to central Kansas where they hoped to farm and to obtain work as a builder. They found a place called Agnes City near Emporia and four more children were born: Charles E., George, Jan, Alice Fern and Janet Dove.
One interesting episode on their travels was when the notorious female bandit Calamity Jane rode into camp one evening and wanted to spend the night. She was placed under heavy guard and the next morning a band of horsemen took her back along the trail for 50 miles and sent her along her way with a dire warning to keep going.
