From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Sept. 29, 1915:

• “A victim of the Quantrill raid, whose body has lain in an unknown grave ever since that day of horror in Lawrence more than fifty years ago, will be honored by the Lawrence congregation of the United Brethren church, which will dedicate their new church building Sunday to his memory…. Rev. Mr. Snyder is said to have been the first man killed after the raiders reached town. His church, which was being built of stone, stood at the corner of Massachusetts and Thirteenth streets. Because of his friendship with Senator Lane, the raiders made threats before their arrival that when they came he would be one of their victims. It is not known now where the Rev. Mr. Snyder was buried. In the confusion which followed the raid there were a few burials in which the victims were not identified. But although no trace of the resting place of the pioneer minister remains his memory is to be kept alive by the new church which will be dedicated Sunday.”
• “Manager W. O. Hamilton is busily engaged in completing plans for the big opening planned for the University football season Saturday. Today he issued a call for the use of motor cars which will be needed to carry the guests of the University when the University of Kansas and William Jewell College teams engage in the first game of the Jayhawker schedule. About twenty automobiles will be needed for this purpose…. The big feature of the football opening outside of the game itself will be the big parade which will traverse the down town district early in the afternoon…. Manager Hamilton said today that those machines will be given preference in entering the grounds which form a part of the parade. There will be accommodations at McCook field for only about eighty machines, and probably that many will be in the parade. Automobile owners who wish to enter the parade should notify the manager in advance.”
• “Feeling the great need for a lungmotor that would at all times be accessible and convenient for use down town the Journal-World recently offered to stand forty per cent of the cost of a complete lungmotor outfit if the city would pay the other sixty per cent. Yesterday a representative of the Life Saving Devices Co., manufacturers of the lungmotor, was in the city and demonstrated the lungmotor to the satisfaction of the city commissioners and also to the members of the Fire department in whose charge the device is to be placed…. The cost of the lungmotor together with an oxygen generator is $150, and under the arrangement the Journal-World pays $60.00 of this amount and the city $90.00. The lungmotor becomes solely the property of the city and is purchased hoping that if accidents occur it may be the means of saving lives. Physicians and others may secure the use of the device for the asking. With the purchase of this lungmotor it makes two owned in Lawrence, the other being the property of Dr. G. W. Jones, of the Lawrence hospital.”
• “The annual fair of the Vinland Grange will open tomorrow and Friday…. The Vinland fair has become an institution in the county that is worthy of emulation by other neighborhoods. It is entirely a home production, made possible by the co-operation of an entire neighborhood.”
• “The members of the rifle team of the Kansas National Guard will leave this evening for Kansas City, where they will take a train tonight for Jacksonville, Fla., where the national rifle competition will be held. The camp at Six Corners, which has been maintained for the past week, was struck yesterday forenoon and the riflemen either came to Lawrence or went to Kansas City to wait for the departure of the special car from there tonight. It was a profitable week the state marksmen spent at Six Corners. Practice was kept up all the time, even under unfavorable conditions and the men will be in much better shape for their part in the big competition.”
