OVERBROOK, Kan. – The Kansas Department of Health and Environment issued a boil water advisory today for portions of Overbrook, Kan. The boil water advisory will affect water users in the following areas of town: Elm Street south of Market Street, on Second Street one block west of Elm Street, and east of Maple Street between Highway 56 and Fifth Street. This also includes users along Highway 56 east of Maple Street to the city lake, including Casey’s General Store and Grace Community Church. The advisory took effect Dec. 11, 2018, and will remain in effect until the conditions that placed the system at risk of bacterial contamination are resolved. KDHE officials issued the advisory because of two-line break resulting in loss of pressure in the system. More: www.osagecountyonline.com/archives/31664... See MoreSee Less

The Kansas State Historical Society denoted today, Nov. 21, 2018, that it was on this day in 1855 free-stater Charles Dow was shot and killed by pro-slavery Franklin Coleman in a land dispute. This started the Wakarusa War, which lasted about two weeks until a treaty was signed on Dec. 8. In Wendi Bevitt's latest Hidden History of Osage County, she tells us more about a Civil War veteran, buried at Oak Hill Cemetery at Quenemo, who was in the middle of the Wakarusa War from start to finish. The skirmish between free staters and a pro slavery army marked the beginning of a turbulent time in Kansas history and was a pretext to the nation’s civil war. ----- Read more here: www.osagecountyonline.com/archives/31491...
