[Personal Recollections of Pardee Butler by Pardee Butler]@TWC D-Link bookPersonal Recollections of Pardee Butler CHAPTER VI 8/11
B.Kelly, Esq., a young lawyer from Cincinnati, in which Thomasson, a great big bully, flogged Kelly, who was a small man, of slender build, and weak in body.
A public meeting was called, in which resolutions were adopted praising this big bully for flogging this weak and helpless man; and then this Kelly was ordered to leave, and was not seen in Kansas afterwards.
Beyond this, if there was any of this high-handed stealing and robbery we never heard anything of it afterwards. During the month of July, an event occurred destined to have lasting influence on the Christian cause in Northeastern Kansas.
A church was organized at Mt.Pleasant.It is now known as the Round Prairie Church. This church, after passing through varied fortunes, has finally issued in being one of the best and most active churches in Kansas.
The last act in his public ministry was the organizing of this church by Elder Duke Young, father of Judge William Young.
