I am doing a state assessment on this person, Annie Marshalls Grinter. I would like to know the important quote that she said also What were the challenging obstacles that she had to go through to operate a ferry boat on the Kansas River? Thank you

My dad Wilbur Kirby lived at the house adjacent to the big house. My great aunts, Annie and Mattie resided in the big house. We were sad that the house was sold to non relatives. However my dad didn’t have the money for it’s upkeep. The Lenape who wouldn’t renounce their Indian heritage we moved to Oklahoma to live on land that the Cherokee were occupying.

Very interesting point. We had not heard this detail about Grinter House history.

The latter was a euphemism from the prohibition era (which lasted much, much longer in the state of Kansas) for a roadhouse that served alcohol on the down-low. It was not uncommon for country places to serve, being less likely to be raided. The Shawnee Indian Mission in Fairway briefly served such a role during the Era of National Prohibition.

I know. It seems so surreal to see it sitting on the hillside.

It is impossible to fathom that when I go to Lenexa, there it stands in the middle of the city!
