"Uncle Tommy" Crotts: Rattlesnakes were common here when Uncle Tommy and Melinda Crotts moved to Reno County, Kansas in spring of 1873, and lived where the J. S. Dillon store once was at 'B' and Main, Hutchinson, KS. They moved that fall to a farm one and one-half miles northwest of Partridge, KS. Section 8 - Township 24 - Range 7. There were only four other families then living in Center Township. Mr. Crotts was regarded with the highest respect and esteem and noted for his hospitality. His home was on the old Medicine Lodge to Abilene (Sun City Trail) Trail, and was the stopping place for prairie schooner travelers. Mr. Crotts often walked to Hutchinson, a distance of fifteen miles from his home, and carried flour or other groceries home on his back. He lived on the farm place for more than forty-five years and died at the age of eighty-four.
