Notes:

In 1878, the Henry Disque and Peter Krautwurst families came by invitation to Kansas together from Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. They traveled on the Kansas Pacific Railway (later renamed the Union Pacific in 1880) and stopped off at either Ellsworth or Wilson, Kansas. From there they made there way twenty miles south to Barton County. This is where the Jacob Good family was already living. Mrs. Annie Elizabeth Good, Mrs. Louise Krautwurst, and Mrs. Katherine Disque were sisters. They were 3 of the 5 daughters of John Theobold and Katherine (Rosche) Deibel.The Jacob Good homestead farm description was the South ½ of Section 33-16-11, Cleveland Township, six miles north of the yet to be organized city of Claflin, Kansas. Both of the families lived with the Good family until their own homes were started on land they also acquired from the Kansa Pacific Railway by land grant.The Disque homestead is 4-½miles north of the present city of Claflin and is on Section 9-17-11 of Independent township. Census records list the family as living in Independent, Barton, Kansas.Both families build small wood frame houses which were later replaced by the more sturdy native limestone houses built between 1860 and 1866. The limestone was quarried locally. The youngest daughter of Henry and Katherine, Louise, was borne as the limestone house was being built.Henry Disque, Sr. died on the farm on Decembe 9th, 1906 and Katherine then moved to a new home in the city of Claflin in 1909. She resided in the house in Claflin until her death on January 31st, 1916. Her son, Adam, took over the family farm in 1906.
