The first settlers in Ottawa County were
William Still, George Darling and a
Frenchman by the name of LaPere. They
built a cabin in 1855 near the mouth of
Coal Creek, then Myers, and cultivated a
garden. but the blood thirsty Sioux Indians
induced them to leave by fall. Of the first
three settlers in the county, LaPere was
probably killed by the Sioux Indians, as
they were camped on the Saline River and
LaPere went to make a friendly call on
them from which he never returned.

together & selling their wares at craft shows. After many requests for the patterns of their original
creations, two of the women continued their endeavors in the quilting world by publishing their patterns for

1999), Lynne has 26 patterns, 13 books (five in a series of historical quilts as well as quilters journals) &
seven collections of fabric with Moda. There’s always something new in the works at Kansas Troubles
