While researching about Civil War Women of Missouri, threads and photos kept coming up of women from Kansas, as many sites cover the Kansas-Missouri conflict. Putting together this thread has been a little delayed as the laptop where I kept most of the photos and information died an unfortunate death. So, I'll be putting this together pieced by piece. There are only small stories about some of the women, but I always like to see photos of the women of a particular place to give a better sense of what their lives were like during the time. As always, anyone with relatives from Kansas or favorite Kansas women are welcome to add to this thread.
Sarah Wilmarth Fitch Stevens and daughter Julia Sumner Fitch
Both Sarah and Julia were survivors of Quantrill's Raid. Sarah's husband Edward was killed during the 1863 attack. Their house was burned, but they escaped.
