Items listed by RKW...
George Stout had his claim staked by his brother, John, in December of 1869, and he arrived in 1870.
George Stout married in Cowley County, Kansas, Mary Korber, who died January 22, 1888. She was born in Wisconsin, and reared in Leavenworth, Kansas. Her parents located on Timber Creek sometime previous to her husband’s arrival in that vicinity.
She left one son, George, Jr., who attended school in district 76 in 1901.
