Edith Foss Mohney-Growing up in Oakland & Kansas

Edith F. Mohney lived most of her life at 834 Wabash it was one of the oldest houses in Oakland, When her Granddaughter Martha Schneck asked what it was like growing up in Oakland and Kansas, Mrs. Mohney wrote a story in 1972, about her memories in Oakland and Kansas then in 1999, Mrs. Martha Schneck put the story up at a web site called Ks. Gen. web, internet Genealogical Society, under the title, Letters, Memories & family stories: http://skyways.lib.ks.us/genweb/archives/familyhistory/shawnee/letters.htm
For those of you who are wanting to know more of Oakland's history this is a must read. I found the information very helpful, however I did find one small erorr, Mrs. Mohney states that the Oakland Bank was on the south-west corner of Wabash & Thomas this is not so, the bank sat on the south-east corner.
