Wish List: The ES Genealogy Society has created its latest Founding Family display: The Isleys, whose name is remembered in many local landmarks. We'd welcome additions of Isley family or artifacts. Topping our priorities: a photo of Jeremiah Isley himself, who platted much of the land that we know as the East End. Nice photos of him and his wife, Lydia Cravens Isley, ran in the Oct. 17, 1975 "Early Bird" publication. The photos may have belonged to Isley descendants, now deceased. Neither photo is in our archives. If you have information or copies of the photos, we'd love it if you would share them with us!

The Excelsior Springs Museum & Archives is pleased to co-sponsor an upcoming Missouri Humanities Council lecture and presentation, “Forged in Missouri: Ulysses Grant and the Show-Me State,” at 5 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 29, at the Excelsior Springs Community Center, 500 Tiger Drive.![]()
Greg Wolk, an author and Missouri Humanities Heritage Programs coordinator, is traveling the state in commemoration of the 200th anniversary of Ulysses S. Grant’s birthday (April 27, 1822.) ![]()
Wolk’s lecture will advance knowledge of this period of Grant’s life in Missouri. Through words and pictures, Wolk presents a vivid portrait of the early days of the Civil War, and U.S. Grant’s part in it. While many are aware of the 18th U.S. president’s earlier connection to Missouri through his marriage and years of residence near St. Louis before the Civil War, it is less well known that Colonel, then General, Grant literally “cut his teeth” as a battlefield commander in Missouri. ![]()
The lecture also is designed to engage public interest in a related Missouri Humanities’ touring exhibit that began winding its way through Missouri on April 27 of this year (the 200th anniversary of Grant’s birth in 1822). The exhibit will be featured at the Kansas City Public Library (Central) during October 2022.![]()
More information regarding the traveling exhibit is available at mohumanities.org/us-grant-bicentennial/. For more information, please contact Greg Wolk at greg@mohumanities.org or (314) 517-8746, or the Excelsior Springs Museum & Archives at 816-630-0101.
