Notes for Lorin Ferrell:
Lorin Ferrell appears on the June, 1880 Census for Ness County, Twp. 16, Range 26. He filed land patents on two 1/2 section parcels at the WaKeeney Land Office, which opened its doors on October 20, 1879. Date of Record was May 12, 1886. A map (date unknown) shows his ownership of three quarter sections, and his sister, Louretta Ferrell, with ownership of another quarter section adjoining Lorin's, suggesting that Louretta purchased one quarter section from Lorin, after 1886. On this same map, near, but not adjoining Lorin and Louretta's parcels, is a quarter section owned by W. El. Ferrell, which if it was owned by Lorin's oldest son, Willard Elva, would have to have been purchased at some later date, as Willard was born in 1877.
'Ness, Western County, Kansas' published in 1955 in Detroit, Michigan, Millbrook Printing. Co., by Minnie Dobbs Millbrook, states that Lorin Ferrell was one of the original settlers of Utica, and it was he who suggested the name "Ohio Township" which was accepted by the other settlers in Twp. 16. He arrived in Ness County with his wife and oldest son, Willard, in 1879. He and W.C. Bell, established a Post Office in 1880, and named it Utica, for Mr. Bell's New York hometown. In May of 1880, in partnership with J. B. Driggs, he built a stone building for the post office and a small general store. From 'Early History of Utica,' Ness Co. News, May 23, 1925: "The Utica postoffice was started in 1880 with Lorin Ferrell as first postmaster. He held the office in a small storeroom on the northwest quarter section 27-16-26....When Mr. Ferrell sold out and moved to Iowa the office was moved to the sod residence of Wilson Killingbeck, who was then made postmaster". Two girls, Eva Anna (born 1880) and Ina Alberta (1882) were born before their removal to Iowa. This date might have been about 1884, as Raymond Warden Ferrell, fourth child of Lorin, was born in Rose Hill, Iowa, on February 22, 1885, at the home of Samuel Clark Warden, Lorin's Father-in-Law. They stayed with Sarah Ellen Warden's parents for two years. Within three years, January 23, 1888, he was back in Utica where his fifth child, Roland Irving Ferrell was born.
He served as County Clerk from 1900 to 1905.
The Ashland Press, of Ashland, Ohio, September 22, 1909, page 4, column 6.
Mr. and Mrs. Lon Ferrel, of Kansas, who left Ohio 30 years ago, spent several days last week at the home of Jeff Claberg. A number of his old friends and neighbors gathered in to see him as he is quite ill with tuberculosis. Florence's Note: Jeff Clayberg's wife was Lorin's cousin, Almira Ferrell.
From Ashland Press, Ashland, Ohio, October 20, 1909, page 4, column 3.
Lorin Ferrel, of Kansas, who visited here about a month ago, died at his home Wednesday with tuberculosis.
Number 1632, Book 16, page 422.
Lorin Ferrell died intestate. His wife, Ella Ferrell waived her right to be appointed Administratrix in favor of daughter Eva A. Ferrell on October 23, 1909. Petition for her appointment by his heirs over the age of 21 signed October, ? 1909. They included Ella Ferrell, W.E. Ferrell, Ray W. Ferrell and R.I. Ferrell. Her final report was made December 4, 1914, when she was ordered to distribute funds belonging to the heirs and was discharged as Admin'x. Wife's amount was $1027.16. Each child received $128.39.

Notes for Sarah Ellen Warden:
Obituary of Sarah Ellen Warden Ferrell, February 7, 1938: Mrs. Ella Ferrell Died Saturday
Was Pioneer Settler of Ness County, Coming Here in 1879.
Homesteaded Near Utica
Judge Peters Honored Pioneer Mother in Fine Eulogy
The death of Mrs. Ella Ferrell last Saturday brought to a close the life of another Ness County Pioneer. Mrs. Ferrell came here with her husband in 1879, settling near Utica, and has made the county her home ever since.
Mrs. Ferrell was particularly well known for her many Motherly kindnesses to an unusually large circle of friends both in the Utica community and in the Ness City community, who mourn her passing.
The Ferrell family and the Peters family were neighbors for many years at Utica and because of the closeness of the two families Judge Lorin T. Peters was requested by the family to prepare the life history and to deliver it at the funeral service. The sentiment of the eulogy he gave is so fitting that it is being used as the usual obituary and appears elsewhere in the paper.
Six sons and two daughters survive Mrs. Ferrell, all but one of whom, Rolla I. Ferrell, was present for the funeral services. These were Mrs. E. B. Brenemen and her husband and daughter, Kathryn,, of Goodland; John D. Ferrell and wife of Wichita; Donald E. Ferrell of Salt Lake City; W.E. Ferrell, his wife and daughter, Eunice, of Tribune; Ray W. Ferrell of Anaconda, Mont, and his daughter and her son, Mrs. Ralph Butler and Frank, of Council Grove. Lorin T. Ferrell and family and Miss Eva Ferrell of Ness City, Mr. and Mrs. Brenemen of Hutchinson were also present.
Funeral Services were held Monday conducted by Rev. Miller of the Christian church of Dighton. Burial was made at Utica
Here are notes from Caryn Ferrell Landis, 1997
Sarah Ellen Warden Ferrell was known by the name of Ella. She was born near Dixon, IL. She married Lorin Ferrell in 1876 and they moved to Ness City KS in 1879. She bore 9 children, eight of whom grew to be adult. In addition to caring for her own famly she was often called on to help others less fortunate. In those early days she went by horse and buggy to visit the sick. She was active in the Christian church, Rebekah Lodge and American Legion Auxiliary.
Photographs show that she was beautiful as a young woman. I remember her as my tall, elegant, white-haired Grandma Ferrell in the 1930's. When I visited her for a week each summer I always found the year's worth of 'funny papers' in the basement. That was one way she entertained grandchildren. She and I used to have afternoon 'tea' also. Mine was just milk and sugar in warm water accompanied by her oatmeal and raisin cookies.
One winter during the depression we lived with her. As it happened both she and I came down with pneumonia and my mother, her daughter in law, was kept busy caring for us. There was no inside toilet so the work included emplying 'slop jars.' There was a windmill and water was piped into the kitchen. As a seven year old I thought the best thing about her house was the stained glass window in the dining room. In the winter food was kept cold on the screened in back porch. Her fancy refrigerator wirh coils on top was disconnected and used as a storage place for National Geographic magazines. During summer she connected it and sometimes had lemonade in it.
Grandma's favorite poem was "Sunset and Evening Star'. It was read at her funeral February 1938.
