Chase County Historical Sketches
Daniel Holsinger, a direcet descendant of Rudolph, was born in Bedfored County, Pennsylvania, in 1831--one hundred years after the landing of his ancestor in America. He grew to manhood in that community and on March 20, 1852, he was married to Julia Ann Walter, who was born January 8, 1832.
Very soon after their marriage, Daniel Holsinger and his wife, Julia, moved to Hagerstown, Indiana, where they lived until 1855. Two children were born to them at Hagerstown, namely: William H. and Nancy Jane.
In 1856 Daniel Holsinger brought his family to Kansas and settled upon land that was then in Breckenridge County. The Holsingers were of the religious sect of Dunkards. They were accompanied by two or three other Dunkards, among them the Nathan Corey and the Gabriel Jacobs families. The land upon which Daneil Holsinger settled was on the Cottonwood River at or near the mouth of Jacobs Creek. In 1860 that three mile strip along the edge of Breckenridge County was made a part of Chase County.
Daniel Holsinger was a farmer and also a cobbler by trade. He did most of the shoe repairing in the Toledo neighborhood until his death. Among other neighbors of the Holsingers were the Ulrichs who later moved to Douglas County. Also to Daniel's home came young Henry Proeger when he first came to Kansas in search of a location for a home. Mr. Proeger was a trained gardener and arborist. By example and advice he did much to teach the early settlers how to grow gardens and trees.
In their Jacobs Creek home, two more children were born to Daniel and Julia Holsinger. They were: George W., born December 22, 1857, and Jacob Walter, born March 16, 1860.
The young father, Daniel Holsinger, was taken by death February 7, 1863. He was a loved and honored member of that pioneer community on Jacobs Creek.

CHASE COUNTY.
LOCATION AND NATURAL FEATURES.
Chase County, named after Salmon P. Chase, who was United States Senator from, and Governor of, Ohio, and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, was organized in 1859. It was south and west of the center of population of Kansas in 1875, and in 1880 this center had moved some distance west of it. The northern boundary of the county is 102 miles south of the Nebraska line; its eastern line, 96 miles from the State of Missouri; its southern boundary, 75 miles from the Indian Territory; and its western boundary, 285 miles from the State of Colorado. Between it and Missouri there are four counties; there are six organized counties on the line west of it. Its area is about 750 square miles. The Cottonwood River flows through the county in a general northeasterly and easterly direction, emptying into the Neosho, in Lyon County. The valley of this river ranges from one to three miles in width; its soil is chiefly a dark friable loam, varying from five to twenty-five feet deep, the accumulation of the decayed vegetation of ages. The river has high steep banks, and it has a fall of from five to eight feet in every half a dozen miles, thus making a series of good water-powers.
TOWNSHIP HISTORY.
March 24, 1860, Toledo and Diamond Creek townships were created, and the 750 square miles of Chase county are comprised in five municipal townships. Diamond Creek is in the northwest part of the county, Falls, in the north central; Toledo, in the northeast and eastern; Bazaar, in the southeast and south central; Cottonwood, in the southwestern. The two cities in the county are in Falls Township, Cottonwood Falls and Strong City. The County Commissioners' districts are as follows: First district, Toledo and Bazaar; Second, Falls; Third, Cottonwood and Diamond Creek.
Toledo: The area of this township is 188 square miles. Safford and Elinor, stations on the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad, are its principal villages. Safford is two miles from the Lyon County line, and Elinor is three miles west of Safford. J. F. Gill is the station agent and
L. P. Ravenscroft is the physician at Safford. It is located on the northeast quarter of Section 15, Township 19, Range 9. It contained 537,100 acres January 5, 1875. In June, 1856, Nathan Cory, Daniel Holsinger and Gabriel Jacobs settled in the township. Mr. Pine and Jane Wentworth of this township were married in 1857. George Holsinger was born in this township in 1857. O. Thompson started the first general store at Toledo. It was in 1859. John Buchanan was the first postmaster. The office was established in 1858. In 1863, the Friends erected a house of worship, on the southwest corner of the southeast quarter of Section 2, Township 19, Range 9. Their church was organized in 1859. Schools were kept in private
houses in this township; its first schoolhouse was built in 1864, school district No. 9. The town site of Toledo was abandoned January 2, 1865. Here is a general store, and a blacksmith shop and a physician.

Mr. Daniel Holsinger, living on the Cottonwood, ten miles west of Emporia, planted about an acre in Sugar cane last spring, from the product of which he is now manufacturing Syrup. His first mill had but two rollers, and as a consequence did not express all the juice from the stalks. He has now added another roller, which does much better, but still leaves a large quantity of the saccharine matter in the cane.--Mr. Holsinger is selling his syrup for seventy-five cents per gallon, and a majority of the people much prefer it to the Sugar house syrup sold in the market.
