From "Andreas History of Kansas", published in 1883, p. 1543: James. V. Admire, editor of the Osage Free Press, was born in Johnson Co., Indiana October 15, 1842. he was the son of Rev. James B. Admire of Morgan Town, Ind. J. V. Admire was practically thrown upon his own resources at an early age, as his father's family was large and the salary of a Methodist preacher was very meager. Prior to the war, from the time he was 16, he engaged in school teaching. August 12, 1862, he enlisted as a private soldier in Co. E. 65th Indiana Vol. Infantry at Newsburgh. Sept., 1867 he married to Miss Emma Lewis. They came to Kansas July, 1869 and tried farming in Shawnee Co. for 2 years, but abandoned the business in disgust. They bought an interest in the North Topeka Times of which he was an editor and partly publisher for about a year and a half. He was appointed Postmaster of North Topeka in 1872 - 1878. In November of 1878, he moved to Osage City to enter into a law partnership with the Hon. Ellis Lewis, having been admitted to the bar in 1867. At the expiration of a year, he engaged in the other business. On March 1, 1811, he bought the Osage Free Press, he was appointed Postmaster of Osage City on Feb. 10, 1992. His children, James Lewis, Mina, and Eli aged respectively 13, 11, and 7 in 1883. The town of Admire, Kansas was named by the drawing of straws. McElfresh's ancestors had wished it had been called McElfresh since his family remained longer in the area. |
