From Irene Kaub -- See files for the collection of Irene Kaub's stories about her life and the Mulvany family. Condensed from her stories:
I remember coming to Kansas from Glenwood, Iowa, in a covered wagon with my parents, brother and older sister when I was four years old. We left Glenwood, Iowa on Dec. 2, 1899. Just before we crossed the Missouri River at White Cloud, I fell on the ice and broke my arm. There was ice floating on the river and the ferry operator said it would be the last trip over for some time. We crossed on that last trip and then they took me to the doctor. We arrived northeast of Baldwin on Dec. 11, 1899 after nine days on the road.
After working for a family with 2 small boys for room and board, I had to quit my job and school to help at home because of my mother's poor health. I helped mother do washings and ironing for others and helped cook for threshing crews. I did get to go back and finish school the next year. My parents couldn't come to my graduation as they had only a farm wagon for transportation and small children at home.
I got a teaching position at Stony Point School (1918). I enjoyed teaching but Ernest and I were married that next spring and he didn't want me to teach, so I gave it up and tried to help out in Sunday School and church work. I had a State Certificate, so could have taught any where in the state. Most of the teachers had County Certificates. I have never felt that my education was a loss. I was able to help my younger brother and sisters, and also my own children.
I first met Ernest & Louis Kaub at the Elm Grove Church, then met the rest of their family. Mother and Father Kaub won a deep place in my heart.

From Rural Schools and Schoolhouses of Douglas County, KS by Goldie Piper Daniels, pgs. 158-161: STONY POINT DIST. NO. 3 -- Stony Point was known as Hickory Point before the Civil War but the name was changed because there was already a Hickory Point to the north of Lawrence. The first school building in this district was a log cabin built on what is now known as Stony Point Road, over one-half mile east of the later and permanent location. Both were on the north side of the road. Settlers' children were taught in 1862 in this log school.
A warranty deed was drawn April 27, 1869 consisted of one acre in a square form out of the Southeast corner of the S.W. 1/4 of Sec. 17, T. 14, R.20 for the sum of $40. On this site a stone schoolhouse was erected to replace the log one. In 1893 a new and larger frame school was built and the old stone building was torn down. Irene Mulvaney is listed as a teacher in Dist. 3. In 1947 consolidation was made of Dist. 3, 39, 49, and 57 to form New Vinland Dist. No. 88 ... the building was sold and dismantled.

Ernest Kaub: I used to court Irene (Mulvany) by driving a buckboard wagon and a team of horses to the Stony Point School to pick Irene up after she taught school there.
----------
Helen Irene (Mulvany) Kaub was an attractive woman with dark brown hair and clear, light blue eyes. She was about 5'5" tall, had a larger than average frame. Irene liked to wear her long hair pulled back tight and twisted into a small "bun" in the back, with hair combs on the sides to keep the stray hairs in place.
Irene never wore makeup. She had made a promise to her brother, Fredrick Leroy Mulvany, that if he never used "tobacco or drink" that she'd never use "powder and paint". Fredrick died at the age of 20 years and she never wanted to break her promise to him.
Irene graduated from High School and then earned her teaching certificate and served as a teacher at the Stony Point School in southern Douglas County in 1818. Her son & his wife, Elroy & Dorothy, have the brass handbell that she used that year. Ernest did not want her to "work", so she never taught again.
Irene was also a member of the North Baptist Church, the Recruit Sunday School Class, often supervised the Nursery and she was a past Sunday School Superintendent. She was a member of the Women's Christian Temperance Union and a former member of the Stony Point Cemetery Board. This was the Cemetery where her parents were buried. She had belonged to the Tauy Baptist Church early in their marriage and Irene & Ernest faithfully attended the North Baptist Church later on.
Irene loved to garden and "can" the produce. Sometimes, she made watermelon preserves and pickled chickens' feet for Ernest! Ernest also liked to eat fried chickens' feet. He called them "Scratchers".
She was a good cook, I remember her Sage Dressing, Angel Food Cake, and Candied Sweet Potatoes were especially good. She liked to eat chicken, but the back was the only piece that she would eat! She also was fond of candy Lemon Drops and Brach's Round Mints. Irene like tomatoes, but was allergic to the red ones, so she wouldn't eat them.
She always had lots of plants around her home, but her rubber plants and the enormous Christmas cactus are the ones I remember the most.
Irene always remembered everyone's birthday with a card and seemed to always be able to find a little gift for her grandchildren. She like to buy lacy white slips and handkerchiefs for her granddaughters.
Irene was a collector and saved just about everything from newspapers and greeting cards to her old refrigerators. She was a family historian and genealogist. Thanks to her, many newspaper articles and family records were saved through the years. Irene's memory escaped her several years before she died, so it was very fortunate for her family that she wrote down so much of her genealogy work.
She told her family that she was related to Abraham Lincoln and to Frank and Jesse James. Although neither were ever proven. Talk about both sides of the coin! She was also a descendant of the "Barefoot Preacher", Abraham Snethen.
----------
According to letters written in 1912 and marked from Baldwin, KS, Irene appears to be in Baldwin City taking care of her Grandmother Lydia Snethen Scheer Allen. She mentions she needs to "put Grandma to bed" and that she "doesn't seem to have any pain to speak of". Lydia died in April 1913. The letters from her siblings say to tell Grandma hello, etc. .... but not Grandma and Grandpa which would refer to the Mulvany grandparents, both were living in rural Baldwin, Palmyra twp., near Stony Point church and cemetery.
Irene also mentions in a letter dated to Aug. 1913 from Baldwin, after Lydia's death, that she went to Grandma and Grandpa's for a visit with them. Both the Mulvany grandparents were alive at this time. She mentions several Mulvany family members during this visit: Minnie, Fredie and Edith. During that letter she tells of Aunt Allie, Edna, and Ethel.
