Henry William Dole
1886-1972Henry William Dole was born and attended school in Burrton, Kansas.He attended at least until the year 1901 but it is not known if he graduated from High School. The school he attended was apparently a one room school since several of his brothers and sisters were listed as having the same teacher in 1901.
Henry was once described by a Burrton resident as the "dutiful son."He stayed home to help with the farm work until he married at age 24.During his lifetime Henry worked at a number of different trades. He wasa harvest hand, a farmer, a drover, an oilfield worker, a filling station operater, a railroad section boss, a carpenter, and a junk dealer. He probably also worked at a number of other trades that were unknown to me.
He was a short, quiet, gentle man. I never knew him to raise hisvoice in anger. However, older family members have said he would frequently have long quiet spells when he didn't communicate with others. He had a good sense of humor and used it frequently in such are as mugging for the camera and in humorous quick come backs to other peoples comments.
After the death of his wife, Nan, Henry seemed to be at loose endsfor a time. He had several different jobs. One that he held for sometime was at a filling station adjacent to his parents home near Burrton, Kansas. He met Reba Chambers in Hutchinson. They married and moved to Los Angeles. He worked for the Firestone Rubber Company there for a time. He later started a second hand store in one of the cabins they managed.
Henry was apparently more sensitive than one might suspect. He kepta few mementos and pictures from his childhood in his personal effects.These eventually came into Arlena's possession and she gave most of themto Bud. They are treasured keepsakes.
In his later years Henry ate very sparingly and drank tea instead of coffee. Sometimes, he would just drink hot water. He smoked Kool cigarettes until he was somewhere in his late seventies or early eighties. After he quit, he launched a one man crusade against smoking by other residents of the nursing home where he spent his last few years.
Henry was in good health--except for high blood pressure--until he was in his late seventies. Sometime in his early seventies he helped his son, Bill Dole, roof his house. Henry stayed alert and coherent until his last few days.

Laura Nancy Lindsay 2-2
1894-1933Laura Nancy Lindsay was born and attended school in Burrton, Kansas. We have two pictures of her as a little girl. One taken when she was about 3 and one when she was 4 or 5. She was a pretty little girl.
Laura Nancy Lindsay , "Nan", was a person others carried their troubles to for sympathetic guidance. Also, when someone in the town was ill they frequently called on Nan for help. She seemed to believe it was her duty to take care of people. She was a very caring person.
Nan and Henry went from Burrton, Kansas, to Hutchinson Kansas to marry. Although she was only 14, she gave her age as 16. That is probably why they went to Hutchinson. At some point before her marriage, she worked in the hotel "Baltimore" in Burrton, Kansas. Her sister, Myrtia, also worked there helping with the cooking.
In Keighley, Kansas, Nan ran a restaurant in her home. She was known as a good cook. She was also an excellent seamstress and made many quilts. Several of these quilts are keepsakes in the family.
She died at age 38 when her son Wilbur was 6 years old. Her mother died when she was six years old. She seems to have been a high energy person always keeping busy at something.
Her mother was Sarah Ann Ashman. Her mother's mother was Nancy Calvert. We can confidently trace the Calvert line back to William Calvert who was born in 1757. There is strong reason to believe the line can be extended further back to Leonard Calvert, brother of Cecil Calvert--Lord Baltimore. And, this line extends back to George Calvert and Anne Mynne--born in the late 1500's
