FRANK NEHEMIAH RUNDELL
Frank Rundell made his home with an aunt, Azubah Rundell Shaw, after the death of his mother. They lived at Sheffield, Iowa, and here he received his education and grew to manhood. In 1874 he left Iowa in a covered wagon and headed west. Upon reaching St. Louis, Missouri, he lost a horse and purchased an ox which was hitched with the remaining horse and came on to Kansas.
He homesteaded in Stafford County, 8 miles south and 1 mile east, of Stafford. He lived in a sod dug-out for several years. Later he donated a site for a sod school house which was called Lamoreaux. When the railroad was planned from Hutchinson to Kinsley, he freighted cedar ties in from Gunnison, Colo. In 1894 he built the 1st frame house in the community, which was 4 rooms and quite elaborate for that time. His widowed sister, Lillian, and her small adopted son lived with him several years. In 1913 he purchased a section of land 5 miles east of Montezuma, Kansas. He moved his family to the new home and remained there until his death.
