The Wichita County Heritage Society held lunch for the public at the Kell House Museum, then drove us in the trolley to the Riverside Cemetery. My dear friend hostess stood at the front of the trolley to impart to us stories about the history of some of the prominent figures in town, most from the Kell and Kemp families. The tour included a little bit of notoriety, too, by showing the grave of the James' sister (scroll below) and bank robbers killed by vigilantism.

The tour included actors; a young woman played Susan Parmer, sister of Jesse James.

Parmer's grave and the two actors standing beside it, waiting for the trolley behind us.

A pensive My Mr Mallory strolls across the way from Charles William Wallace's mausoleum. Wallace identified himself as the premier scholar in everything and anything having to do with William Shakespeare (not an understatement).

On our way to buy a new battery for the '53 Chrysler I photographed protesters, or rather demanders of health reform.
