Hoglund Dugout

Smoky Valley Historical Association has information on the Hoglund Dugout. It was built by Mr. and Mrs. Gustaf Hoglund, they were among the earliest Swedish pioneers of the Smoky Valley. Their story is similar to other early pioneers. They endured such hardships, weather, sickness, and hunger. They have my respect.

Moses Baker

Moses Baker was an early pioneer of Rice county. He came to Kansas in 1871 from Huron county Ohio. He underwent all the hardships of those pioneer days. His first wife, Alvira McCune,  was fourteen years old when they married on November 24, 1873. She died in 1877, leaving one living child behind. In 1878 Moses married Mary Ann Monroe, they had four boys and four girls. The Bakers experienced prairie fires, grasshoppers, floods, sickness and drought.

 His first home was of sod and logs near Saxman. He later built a frame house following his marriage. He lived on his farm until shortly before his death.

Mr. Baker was one of the early Saxman settlers who remembered seeing the stone erected as a monument to the young Spaniard who was supposedly murdered in the vicinity of Jarvis creek for the gold which he carried.
