“They said they’d call me in the morning ...
That first night was wonderful! All the promises, all the excitement! Yes,
this was really going to work. But ... they lost interest. Very soon, the initial
excitement died and then they stopped calling. If I want to find out what’s
going on I have to call. It was supposed to be a moving experience, but now,
my house remains unsold and here I sit. I should have listened. It really does
make a difference which realtor you choose to sell your home. It makes so much
sense to me now ... I should have called Char’s Team first!”

From the publisher Contents
E
very longtime Olathe resident
knows the building on this
year’s Answer Book cover is
the Park Cherry building.
How many know that originally, this building was called the Walker Building? How many know that M.G.
Miller bought the building around the
turn of the 20th century? Or that Miller
was one of Olathe’s wealthiest men and
J.C. Nichols’ father-in-law (talk about
both sides marrying well!)?
Olathe’s rich history is at the forefront of its 150th birthday celebrations this year. Your 2007-2008 Answer Book provides you
with a useful guide to your hometown today, while giving you
150 useful nuggets about Olathe then and today.
If you’re new to town, the Answer Book introduces you to
Olathe. This way, at your next cocktail party or Rotary breakfast, you’ll be armed with answers. When someone asks, “What
year was it that Olathe issued industrial revenue bonds to renovate the Park Cherry building,” you’ll know the answer (1985).
Of course, if you’re in a conversation about industrial revenue
bonds, you might be boring others to death. But you’ll have
answers!
Enjoy Olathe’s sesquicentennial. Enjoy the Answer Book. If you
still want more answers, buy George Bauer’s book, “Trails, Rails
and Tales. Olathe’s First 150 Years.”

Olathe was founded in 1857 by a native Virgin1. ian,
John T. Barton. Barton was a physician to the
Shawnee Indian tribes. He was speculating in 1856 and
1857 while the Shawnee were giving up the tribal titles
to their land. Barton went to the center of the county
and claimed two quarter sections of land as his. The
story goes that he was taken by the native beauty of the
land and asked the Shawnee chief, Capt. Joseph Parks,
what the Shawnee word was for “beautiful.” Parks told
Barton “Olathe” was the word. Olathe was incorporated
in 1857, four years before Kansas became part of the

Olathe residents were surveyed in 2004
66. about
bicycling in the city. The most fre-
quent reason for bicycling was exercise
and recreation. Many residents reported not
being able to cycle because they didn’t have
enough time, weren’t interested in biking, had
concerns about safety and cars or thought work
was too far to bike to. More people bicycle on
the weekend, 62 percent, than on the weekdays.
53 percent.
Residents can boat at two places in
67. Olathe.
Cedar Lake is available to boaters
with electric-powered motors only. Lake
Olathe is also available to boat in, but the whole
lake is a no-wake zone. This means boaters can
go only 5 miles per hour.
The oldest park in Olathe is Cedar Lake
68. Park,
15500 S. Lone Elm Road. It was
established in 1920. Cedar Lake Park provided the original water supply for Olathe.
There are four lakes in Olathe. Each
69. was
manmade. Frisco Lake was built by
the railroad companies coming through
Olathe in the pre-1900s. It was built to provide
water for the locomotives. This lake became an
official city park in 1974. Cedar Lake was built
in 1920 and has 75 acres of water. This lake
is used recreationally now. Lake Olathe was
built in 1959 and has 170 acres of water. It was
to be a drinking-water supply. Lake Olathe is
still used to supplement the water supply from
the Kansas River in the dry months. Finally,
Waterworks can hold 14 acres of water. The lake
is used to temporarily store water pumped from
Lake Olathe before it goes to the water plant.
Most of the time it is used for fishing.

Olathe wasn’t always booming. After
54. William
Quantrill’s raid of the city
during the Civil War, the population
dropped from 500 residents to 250. From the
time of the raid until the end of the Civil War,
there were no churches in Olathe, and there
were few women. And the people who owned
a house would offer free rent to tenants who
would stay with them.
Beattie Mahaffie paid $600 for
55. theJames
Mahaffie farmstead. He and four oxen
pulled the 20-by-25-foot house he owned
from downtown Olathe to old Kansas City
Road. He built a house from limestone on the
Mahaffie farm.
Although Kansas became an antislavery
56. state,
many of its first residents believed
in slavery. Dr. Barton, the town’s founder,
was a southerner who advocated slavery. In
1860, he left Olathe, but not before leaving his
fiancée, Josephine Wilderson, at the altar. Two
days before the wedding he said he was leaving
for Westport to buy a wedding suit. He never
came back. It was later found out Dr. Barton
joined the Confederate Army as a medical
purveyor. However, he didn’t leave his jilted
bride stranded; he gave her all of his holdings
in Olathe.
The first library in Olathe was estab57. lished
in 1899 in Mrs. H.C. Livermoore’s
house. The Ladies Reading Circle paid $2
to the state library to check out 50 books for six
months. Olathe residents could borrow those
books if they returned them in one week.

Helen May Martin was a student of the
Kansas School for the Deaf. Not only
was Martin deaf, but she was also blind.
However, with the help of her mother, the
owner of a music store, Martin learned to be a
concert pianist. Martin’s mother would spell
out the letters for notes in Matin’s hands before
she learned to play braille music.
Eventually, she traveled all over the United
States to give concerts.

The first federated women’s club in
Olathe was the Ladies Reading Circle.
Federated women’s clubs make an effort to
support the community in terms of education,
art and natural resources, among other things.
The club met met every two weeks in the parlor
of the Kansas School for the Deaf. Each meeting lasted two hours and was broken into three
parts: study of history, study of biography
and study of literature. For the last half hour,
women would read aloud from classic novels.
The Ladies Reading Circle also began its effort
to establish a public library in Olathe in 1889.

was changed in 1987 to Olathe Medical Center,
