Pioneer Cemetery on KU's West Campus is the final resting place for many of Lawrence's first settlers
Cemetery holds city's past
By Jennifer Corser
Special to the Kansar
The small Pioneer Cemetery on West Campus is a quiet reminder of Lawrence's nast.
The six-acre cemetery, established about a year after the city was founded in 1643, was the final resting place for many of Lawrence's first settlers. According to Douglas County Historical Society records, the graves of John and Mary Grave of Cornelius Campbell, who died on April 22, 1855.
Originally called the Oread Cemetery, Pioneer was the burial ground for settlers until the 1880s. Many of them were killed in Quintillar, a Confederate guerrilla, on August 21, 1863, were buried there. However, according to University of Oklahoma researchers, all but five of the victims in Oak Hill cemetery, 1605 Oak Hill Ave., which opened in 1872 the area after it was established.
Today, the Kansas University Endowment Association cares for the cemetery. The city deeded the cemetery to the Endowment Associa
tion in 1953 on the condition that the cemetery always be maintained, said Martin Henry, director of property management for the Endowment Museum. A private Association became involved, the cemetery was overgrown with weeds, tombstones had fallen down and cattle grazed between the graves.
"When it ceased to be used after the Civil War, there was no permanent care." Henry said.
Chancellor Elmer V. McCollum developed an interest in the cemetery in the 1960s, and the Endowment Association began to renovate the cemetery, Henry said. Vandals had bought some of the property and cattle had trapped many more.
"A great percentage of the stones originally there no longer are." Henry said.
KU faculty and their spouses and friends can ask to be buried in the cemetery, he said. Many faculty members want to be buried there
"I am going to be buried there," Henry said.
During warm weather, KU students sunbathe throw Frisbee disks
and practice martial arts between the tombstones. Sydney Pener, Overland Park freshman, said she goes to the cemetery to draw for her art class. She said she liked the quiet solitude.
"It's kind of ironic that people come here to subtle," she said.
Hedges and trees now grow around the graves of Wisconsin infantry soldiers and small children who died in World War II. The unknown dead of the Civil War rises above the rest of the tombstones. The letters on the memorial fell during the cemetery's period of history, according to historical society records.
Some old headstones are almost illegible. Some still indicate part of the deceased's name, such as one from his family in Baltimore, Baldwin, who died in 1863. The marker, near the center of the cemetery, still has some advice for visitors.
"Remember you as you pass by, as you are, so once was I. As I am, so must you be. Prepare for death and follow me."

Students are not required to be fine arts majors to live in Hashington.
The cheapest living option available through the University is the scholarship halls.
The cost of scholarship hall living is kept low because residents share in daily living tasks. Each member helps cook or clean.
Students living there must complete 28 credit hours and maintain a
2. 5 grade point average during the year to qualify to live there the next year.

THE CARVER RECEIVER
Choose from two sets of speaker outputs a combination of both or eliminate them entirely for headphone listening through the Cassette recorder a special headphone amplified output.
WITH ASYMMETRICAL CHARGE-COUPLED FM STEREO DETECTOR
Meet the original Carver Receiver the one bus has stunned crates and audiophiles with the power of a smartphone.
To give you the RMS watts you need for today, go to www.rcsound.com/free-stereo-firearm.Carver has designed a receiver with astonishing performance. An aviation video recorder, an avionics such as stereo chi ftail video and digital audio discs. An extraordinary synergy of circuitry that allows the most advanced technological breakthroughs Bob Carver's Magnetic Field Power Amplifier and his Assymetrical Power Coupled FM receiver.
With the Carrier Receiver you command (10 watts per channel and a fully digital quartz synthesizer) stereo tuner through a manually engineered pre-amplifier section.
Monitor and duet between two sets of tape decks. Match the meter output range to your listening levels. Even switch to mono to detect video or cartridge playing problems instantly.
At your fingertips the comprehensive control of your entire system. On the front panel control for turntable video/audio disc player input selector, audio input selector, and two tape input selectors.
Pick up to six FM and six AM stations at the touch of a button without to tune all over the dial. Even activate a special AM filter circuit to cut hiss and sharpness. All in a compact unit no larger than any other conventional receiver lacking the innovations and human skills.
Not only can you individually control bass treadle and midrange tone, but the loudness contour is well. And all tone controls can be tuned to the preamplifier circuit for flat response.
Consider, there are very few (50 watt-per-channel) receivers on the market today. Frankly no other company offers an adequate amplifier power as affordable, light compact and cool to operate as Carver. Their
Only the Carrier Receiver can surmount the inherent problems of sound reproduction which plague lesser powered receivers at all listening levels.
You see even at modest listening levels your makers are making peak power sounds which your ears can detect with an amplifier. Lightning fast transients combinant crests of demand created by multiple waveforms.
At moderate listening levels, you may not have noticed it. Yet when you sonically compare the two, A B comparisons, you ILLENTLY notice the improvement which adequate power
Conventional weaker receivers never deliver enough power and somewhere, just before the signal begins to travel, it gives out and sends a sort of electronic 'note of regret' called clipping. This sharp high-distortion wells the sound territory, undoing all the noise in the cartridge and electronics as well as speakers.
Because it is patented Magnetic Field Amplifier and ultrasophotized speaker protection circuitry delivers 150 watts per channel so you can truly appreciate you can truly appreciate your favorite music.
Unlike conventional amplifiers which produce irrespective of the demands of the ever changing audio signal and indeed even when there is no audio signal in the circuit at all, the Magnetscope amplifier is very sensitive and highly efficient. It produces exactly and only the power needed to carry the signal with maximum efficiency.
These built-in precautions afford you new listening freedom because you don't have to be on your phone at all. You can Receiver. Whether you're spinning your original copy of Dark Side of the Moon or a state-of-the-art Compact Digital Disk of the 1812 Overture you can play it at the volume you want without losing sound.
The resulting spaciousness some impact and sheer musicality will invigorate your existing speaker system, your own ears and those of your friends.
The Carver Receiver also gives you FM performance unmatched by other performance unmatched from the station the stereo FM signal is extremely vulnerable to distortion, noise and multipath effects. The radio system in use today, the signal to noise ratio of 80/20, degrades fifteen fringesrange to 24 fringes.
At all times the Carver Receiver monitors your speakers for conditions that could cause damage. When a power outage heats you reach a state which could be damaging. The same circuits also guard against surges caused by shorts and accidental dropping of the tonearm on a record when the volume is high.
However when you engage Carver's Asymmetrical Charge Coupled FM Detector circuit, the stereo signal arrives at your ear's vibration sensor. The sensor is vibrated with space, depth and ambiance!
You'll suddenly put in stations in surprisingly distant cities and suburbs. Underpowered but interestingly programmed college FM stations that are already previously overpowered by strong adjacent signal will sound as steady as they were alone on the dial. Stations which intermittent FM stations would be hard to find. The special circuitry cann't make weak stations louder—you'll have to do that with your volume control—but when you crank up a beeple station you'll be submerged in a sea of hiss and mutants.
You will also appreciate the AM section Meticulous attention to a very aspect of tuner performance gives you an AM section with true high performance. You can receive a receiver with such high performance anywhere
The Carrier Receiver has been designed for serious music listeners who seek fidelity.
