The portable heater activated the carbon monoxide detector in the cabin, so I rigged up this system to vent the gas through the chimney and heat the metal stove. It seemed to work. The temperature inside the cabin reached a high of 58 degrees and the carbon monoxide detector stayed silent.

DAVID C. NEUMAN
The pioneer whose name heads this personal notice is a character whose
connection with the varied affairs and numerous events which occurred in Neosho
county, both before and since its organization, was that of a leader and chief
factor and when his shade shall have passed to the realms beyond much of the
romance and tragedy of the early history-making period of his county will perish
with him. No settler of recent times can possibly know the anxieties, misgivings,
fears and physical sufferings of those who neighbored with the red man along the
Neosho, and if this volume were devoted to "The Heroes of Neosho County" instead
of to the history of its representative citizens, David C. Neuman and the others
of his time would serve to furnish, exclusively, the subjects of the work.
Mr. Neuman is truly a Kansas pioneer for he settled in it two years before it
became a state, when he located in Allen county and, at Iola, erected, as a
carpenter, the first house on the townsite. He came west from Washington county,
Illinois, where he was reared, sparingly educated and where he learned his trade.
To that locality his father emigrated from Blount county, East Tennessee, in 1838,
and there he died four years later. The latter was also David Neuman, was born in
Germany about 1782, came across the ocean with the Phillips'--whose daughter Elizabeth
he married as soon as they reached Philadelphia--and made his home early in East
Tennessee. He was a farmer and died leaving a family of ten children of which our
subject is the sole survivor.
David C. Neuman was born in Blount county, East Tennessee, December 30, 1828, and
was a boy on the farm till nineteen years old. He then engaged to learn the carpenter
cabinet-maker's trade and this he followed about twelve years when he decided to
become a settler in the wilds of Kansas. A team of three yoke ofcattle served to bring
his family from the old home to the new and when he reached his destination fifty cents
constituted his capital in cash. He turned his attention to the business of his trade
and pursued it closely, during the time he was not in the army, building several of the
early residences of the new town of Iola. He remained in that place till November, 1863,
when he came to Neosho county and entered a tract of land in the river bottom which he
deeded and still owns.
While a resident of Allen county Mr. Neuman enlisted in the volunteer army for the
civil war, joining the first battalion in May, 1861, which battlaion became part of the
Sixth Kansas, upon consolidation, Company G, going into the Eighth Kansas Infantry. Our
subject enlisted as a sergeant in Captain A. W. J. Brown's company where the making out
of the muster rolls, issuing a requisitions and drilling the company fell to his lot.
He was transferred, with fifteen men, to the light artillery with which he served till
July, 1863, when he was discharged. Soon afterward he was commissioned by the governor to
recruit for the army, recruiting from the invalid ranks and taking able-bodied men from
sixteen to sixty years. When he had raised a company he was commissioned its captain. The
company's duties were to keep in check the Indians and fight Bushwhackers and it was only
occasionally called out. While in the regular service Mr. Neuman was in the battle of
Drywood at Fort Scott and other lesser encounters with the enemy and escaped without bullet
wounds.
Farming has constituted the employment of our subject since the war. His aspirations
were those of a home-builder and every obstacle which appeared to counteract the efforts of
the whites at civilizing and settling the country met his sudden, swift and positive rebuke.
While his conduct toward the Indians was characterized with discretion and with apparent
timidity, that toward all forms of crime--especially liquor-selling to the Indians--found in
him one of the improvised agents of justyice to the end that the membership of the fraternity
declined with startling regularity with the capture of the author of an offense. In 1871 Mr.
Neuman moved to the prairie and started a new home and the one he now occupies. His industry
and tenacity are well known characteristics and as a progressive and prosperous farmer he is
widely and favorably known.
On the 15th of February, 1849, Mr. Neuman was united in marriage with Sarah A. House, who
died June 6, 1852, leaving a daughter who married John Rogers and died, herself leaving a
family of three children. September 28, 1853, was consummated the second marriage of Mr. Neuman,
this time with Rosanna Logan who died in 1870 without issue. He returned to Illinois and was
there married on the 20th of August, 1871, to Elizabeth Hechler, a daughter of Michael Hechler
whose family was of German birth. The children of this union are, Maggie M., wife of John
Reinhardt, of Neosho county; Rosanna, wife of Josephus Clover, of the same county; David C., Jr.;
Annie, wife of E. D. Filson, of Neosho county; Lena, John M., George P., and Lola, all yet
with the family home.
Mr. Neuman's first vote was cast for a Whig candidate for president when he was just past
eighteen years of age. He wore a heavy beard and he offered to vote more as a joke than in
earnest and when he was not challenged his firts and whole duty as an American citizen had begun.
He helped elect Abraham Lincoln to the presidency and remained a Republican till 1896 when he
shifted politics and supported the champion of silver.
Mr. Neuman has the distinction of being the oldest married man in Neosho county. No man is known
to him who came to the county as early as he did and was married when he came. His influence
has been wielded always for good and those who know him are pleased to think of him as an upright, worthy and honored citizen.

Hi peeps,
The tree of wisdom, there it is. I was walking this path through the woods with my Canon on my neck, and I saw this sign: Stay on path! it said. It didn't bother me or something but, when I was walking further I saw these dense woods. Changed up my mind and went off to there for some pictures, off the path.Then I looked around the corner and I saw this tree with steps on it. Really weird to see how you have to go up, I didn't seem to understand the purpose.. Treehouse? To look further in the distance? I don't know, but it's strange.
Greetings,
King Matrix

In defiance of the mocking Megatron, Dinobot forces himself to his feet while sending the log in his hand hard onto a sharp boulder! He has created a weapon! In a final act of desperation, Dinobot leaps at his nemesis with his hammer of war held high above his head! In answer to Megatron's question, Dinobot off roars a response!
Dinobot: 'Improvise!'
Sam, Mikaela and the Doctor watch in awe as Dinobot firmly lands the weapon to Megatron's jaw! The larger Transmetal Predacon falls to the ground! Behind him, a golden disc becomes dislodged! Dinobot grabs for the disc as the Doctor quickly aims his sonic screwdriver at the energon shackles that bond the early anthropoid, allowing him to escape!
Sam: 'He did it!'
Doctor: 'Not yet.'
The rear Sheldon nut wouldn't quite fit my frame, so I chucked it into my drill and held a file against it to reduce its diameter slightly.

As i stayed at the school waiting for the next competition, Isa went to one of the girls' house to enjoy the pool. But the little detail was... she didn't have swimwear with her and she decided to use this shorts and t-shirt. I couldn't stop laughing when i saw her wearing this... She didn't matter and enjoyed the pool as well... LOL!
