Most of our Mayfield people intend to celebrate the Fourth at Mr. Burches' grove south of Mayfield.
Miss Jennie Foose, one of Mayfield's most esteemed young ladies, was united in marriage to Hon. Judge Martin, of Otonga O.T. (Oklahoma Territory), June 20th at Wellington. May joy and peace attend them in the sentiments of the entire community.
Ernest Parker met with a serious accident yesterday while trying to get a hat which had blown away and lodged near a horse's heels. The animal kicked, breaking his leg just above the knee. Dr. Neel was summoned and he is getting along as well as could be expected.

The

attacked.

Mr. Miriam Roberts residing six miles southwest
of here, was bitten by a mad dog last Monday. He at once started for Geuda
Springs where a mad stone was applied and it adhered seven hours to the
wound. It was a very sad affair, Mr.
Roberts is one of Sumner County’s best citizens. He is getting along very well at this writing
and we wish to say to the People’s Party elect a man at the next election to
the legislature who will pledge himself to help make a law to tax a man twenty dollars
for every dog above one. They are
getting so well trained that they will chase a passerby for a half mile and by
that time there will be another team passing, and they will hurry back to meet
it.

Hart and Jarvis are doing a good business with
their mill. They keep constantly on hand a good supply of crushed corn, ground
feed, and first-class meal. They are
straight, reliable gentlemen and the farmers would do well to patronize them in
getting feed prepared for their stock.

Mayfield: Then & Now: Union Chapel Christian Church
Union Chapel Christian Church
Information and photographs excerpted from "Mayfield: Then & Now, "page 92
Information and photographs excerpted from "Mayfield: Then & Now, "page 92
Information about the Union Chapel Christian church is sketchy because early records were lost. Thanks to Hubert Heasty and Virginia (Armstrong) Overly for sharing the following information.
Union Christian Church was organized in 1882 and met in the Union schoolhouse until 1891. The congregation then built a church building one-half mile east of the school house and named it Union Chapel Christian Church. It was located in Osborn Township, two miles south and 1 1/2 miles west of Mayfield (NW 1/4 of Section 31).
On August 19, 1886 Milton Marquart and his wife, Jane, made a Warranty Deed, which was filed with the Sumner County Register of Deeds on September 17, 1891. They deeded two square acres to "The church of Jesus Christ, commonly known as and styled the Christian Church at Union School House in School District # 103." They included the stipulation that the land was to be used and controlled by the Elders of the Church as a building site for a church house, church purposes, and a public cemetery.
On May 11, 1932, the Board of Trustees signed an Affidavit to transfer all of the land to Osborn Township for their maintenance and control except one-half square acre in the northwest corner which was occupied by the church building. The church building was removed in the early 1950's.Some of the charter members and early members were Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Armstrong, Mr. and Mrs. Jimmy Williams, Madison Williams and sister Alice Williams, Al DeMoss, Loty and Na?? (original record was unreadable), George Carpenter, Ira, Mary, G.S., Mrs. Morgan Ingram, Charley, Laura, and John, Mr. and Mrs. Bob Ingram, Mr. and Mrs. J.D. Prunty, Charlie and Clara, Mr. and Mrs. George Prunty,and Mr. and Mrs. Lon Prunty, Mr. and Mrs. Van Darling, W. C.Rose, Dr. McCuddy, Mr. and Mrs. Will Thompson, Fred DuVall, Mr. and Mrs. Milton Marquart, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Pierce, Russell Ingram, Charles Roberts, George Roberts.
The Union Chapel Christian Church disbanded on November 1, 1953, because there were too few members to carry on. It was a difficult decision because the church had been important to many families in the community.

Amanuensis Monday - Worship in the Community - Mayfield: Then & Now
Mayfield: Then & NowCopyright 2003; Compiled and Written by Elaine Clark and Sherry Kline
Chapter: Worship in the Community, Compiled & written by Elaine Clark, p. 91
In 1879, two years after the formation of Osborn Township, and one year before Mayfield was officially declared a town, two churches were organized. The Methodist Episcopal Church was organized in the town of Belleview, one mile east of the current site of Mayfield. On Sept 6 of that same year, folks met in the sod house of Nicholas Burnside for the purpose of taking the beginning steps to organize a United Presbyterian Church southwest of Mayfield.
Because records were either lost or not kept, we only know
that A. D. Moore organized The First Presbyterian U. S. A. Church in the town
of Mayfield – probably in the early 18880’s, and we know some of the charter
members.
In 1882 the Union Christian Church was organized southwest
of Mayfield, and in late 1883, a Baptist Church was organized in the town of
Mayfield.
The Cumberland Presbyterian Church was organized in 1887,
and those records are quite complete. A
1902 church newsletter and a 1934 newspaper article give details about the
beginnings of a strong Presbyterian congregation in Mayfield.
At the present time, the only church still active in the
community is the Mayfield Federated Church formed by merging the Cumberland
Presbyterian and Methodist Churches in 1925.

Mayfield Musings
* A Baptist church of twenty odd members was organized at Mayfield recently.
* Will Milne came in last week from Iowa with a car load of cattle for a brother-in-law who will make Kansas his home.
* Saturday afternoon two car loads of goods and stock landed for another new comer.
* Mayfield is to have a new hotel which is under process of erection. If not as large as the Arlington, will be quite an addition to Mayfield.
* Another wedding took place last week at Mayfield. Mr. Henry Evans, who for so long a time has been his own cook, has at last succumbed to the joys of a "Benedict life." Now that the matrimonial market has opened, we hope to be able to report every week. (Elaine's note: An old dictionary defines "Benedict" as newly married man.")

Rained every day last week.
The prairie streams were full and ground well saturated.
S. V. Walton and Miss Mattie Updegraff have returned from their visit to Iowa, both looking improved in appearance. They are glad to get back and their neighbors are pleased to have them home again.
Mr. Barnard is building a residence 16 X 20, one and one-half stories high, with a good cellar. Mr. Roberts is preparing to finish his dwelling with a coat of paint.
The Bellevue school will open about the first of November.
On the evening of the 13th last, one of the most violent wind and rain storms of the season passed over this township. Mr. Rose's house was moved off the foundation, and 'Squire Houk's stable and granary were unroofed and many stacks of hay and grain rolled over. The storm caught a wagon load of delegates who were returning from the Republican Convention, and for a time they were completely waterlogged. Fitzgerald tried to sing the 101 Psalm, to the tune of Old Hundred, but choked on the water. The storm raged with such fury that the team was repeatedly stopped, blinded by the wind, rain, and darkness. The party finally reached A. Robinson's where they filled up with hot tea and waited for the storm to abate.
There is some dissatisfaction manifested on the part of Democrats because Mr. Thralls was not nominated by the Republican convention for sheriff. Our own candidate seems to feel badly because he did not get even a complimentary vote. Gentlemen delegates from Osborn, why was it thus? But I never did hear of a convention that pleased every one.

Bellevue [Mayfield] Items for 25 January 1877
Sumner County Press

Bellevue Items – By Charlie

Bellevue Items – By Charlie
(Excerpted from the book: "Mayfield: Then & Now" written by Elaine Evans Clark and Sherry Stocking Kline
Our settlement has again been afflicted by the death of Miss
Mattie Luckey, aged 17 years, daughter of James H. Luckey. This is the second death in his family
lately.
Our school house is enclosed, and we have church in it every
Sabbath.
I find that a great many people are ignorant of the location
of Bellevue. I will describe it: It is five miles north-west of the center of
the county, and is the center of Osborn township on a high and beautiful
location; and by the way, a good place for a hotel, it being on the old cattle
trail and the direct route from Wellington to Medicine Lodge City.
A good blacksmith would do exceedingly well here.
S. V. Walton will deed a lot to any one who will build a
business house thereon, provided no intoxicating liquors are to be sold in it.
The houses of this township are all as good or better than
the average in the county.
There is not a dug-out or a sod house in the township.
We have a trail route running north and south, [the Chisholm Trail] and hope to have
one running east and west soon.
Wheat looks tolerable fair.
Some improvements going on this winter.
Note: Bellevue was one of the first names for Mayfield, Kansas, and it was founded by S. V. Walton and his family.
