Mrs. Helen Fleming Dead
Mrs. Helen Fleming, one of the early settlers of this vicinity passed away Monday night at the home of her daughter, Mrs. George W. Lank, at the age of 76 years.
Mrs. Fleming had for the past 20 years spent most of the time in Montrose, Colo., but had visited here often thus keeping in touch with her old friends of the community. She had been in declining health for about two years and during the past winter at Montrose she was bedfast. In May she came to Solomon hoping the lower altitude would be of benefit to her, but her condition became worse rapidly so the past week end in a quiet sleep she passed away August 5th at 11:30 p.m.
Helen Bruce Blair was born at Kesuth, Iowa, September 3rd, 1853. At the age of twelve years she came with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Newton Blair to Kansas. The family settled on the old Blair homestead a mile south of Solomon and endured the hardships of pioneer life. Here she attended school and later taught nearby.
On April 23, 1874, she was married to the late K. G. Fleming, who took up a soldier's homestead in the Sunnyside neighborhood later moving to the Blair homestead. To them were born five childre, Mrs. Lillian Lank, of Solomon; Mrs. Grace Skinner and Dr. Fred B. Fleming of Montrose, Colo.; S. Bryson Fleming of Golden, Colo.; and Mrs. Lucy Williams, of Montrose, Colo. She also leaves fourteen grandchildren and three great-grand children. Of the large Blair family, three brothers and two sisters survive her: Mrs. J. H. Carkhuff, her twin, of Montrose, Colo; Mrs. Sarah Covert, of Riverside, Cal.; A. H. Blair, of Wakeeney, Kans.; T.S. Blair, of Riverside, Cal.; and B. P. Blair, of Phoenix, Ariz. None of these brothers and sisters were able on account of advanced years and distance to attend the funeral.
The family was also saddened because it was impossible for Mrs. Skinner to come, being kept away by the serious illness of a daughter.
Mrs. Fleming was an early member of the Presbyterian church at Solomon, joining in her girlhood. She was active in the work of the Sabbath school and maintained a lifelong interested in missionry and all other branches of church work.
A useful life is drawn to a ??ing close. The had that reached out to the sick, desolate and despairing, that did its part in all causes, political, social and religious is called to a higher service.
"Well done, good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joy of they Lord."
The funeral services were held at the Presbyterian church this Thursday morning with Rev. Ralph Taylor, of Enterprise in Charge, and interment was made in Prairie Mound cemetery.• Letter, 27 Aug 1982
Letter from Ruth Roatcap:
"...I want you to know of my earliest direct contact with your great grandmother. we called her Aunt Nell. She was homesteading a place on Log Hill Mesa, probably 20 or 25 miles from Montrose. She invited me to spend some time there with her. she came by my parents' home, in horse & buggy and it took us all day to reach her cabin in the mountains. I was ten years old and this was my first opportunity to be away from home and 3 brothers & 3 sisters.
Aunt Nell had a crude cabin and it was wonderful to enjoy the lazy days in the hammock reading books. We took the horse to bottom of [the] canyon for water morning and evening. I have never forgotten those days."

From letter written by Uncle Tom to Lill [Lillian Fleming] March 21, 1940:
Newton and younger brother Oliver Blair came to Kansas late fall of 1865 after close of Civil War. Uncle Dexter Houston (Clarissa's oldest brother) was receiver of Junction City and Kansas City Land Office had been writing them to come west and get cheap land. Newton sold Iowa farm of 122 acres and came out and Uncle Dexter wanted him to buy at once, but Newton said he would not buy a pig in a poke so drove on to Solomon. He had to ride a horse and ford the river to see the land. He rushed back to Junction City by Stage and bought 1000 acres for $1,250. The wagon outfit returned to Iowa and early next spring Father (Newton) Chas. Edgar and Mary returned to Solomon. The river was so high they could not cross so returned to Junction City and bought lumber and built a boat 4 x 15 ft. and got across and built dug out back of house. Newton Blair hauled lumber for new house from Manhattan by ox team and they moved into the new house late fall of 1867.
They lived in the dugout about one and a half years. Mother, Sarah, Helen, Hattie, Tom and Bry [my great-grandfather -cvy] came by water down the Mississippi River to St. Louis and up Missouri and Solomon to Leavensworth where they were met by Father and Came rest of way by covered wagon. Mary got one quarter section claim 4 miles south of Solomon. Strickler got 80 acres joining Chas. Chas. Got 112 acres of home place. Strickler built on Mary's place. A soldier stopped at MR. Davis' home and was sick. They sent for Mother and then for Dr. O.F. Searl who said "Cholera". The man died before morning and Mr. and Mrs. Davis and hired girl died before next sun down. Mother buried the three in the yard. Forty (40) people had the Cholera and only one lived and that was Mother. Dr. Searl cared for Mother and would not allow the family to come near.
