I was born in Hays ( as I like to say- Fort Hays). I still have the family farm out in Gove county (north of you) that my great-grandmother homesteaded by herself after her husband died. The deed is from the United States to Jane Parsons and dated 1890. It is all sections, townships, ranges, and prime meridians as the counties did not exist at that time. The original house was a 'soddie' a sod house and from what I have been told very livable in both the heat of the summer and the brutal cold of a western Kansas winter. I understand Gove County is now great pheasant country. I have not hunted it since the early 70's. When I was a kid it was also rattlesnake heaven out there.
