Mrs. Jane R. Oliver, 1909 October 16.
Scope and Contents
Contents: Saturday, October 16, 1909, at Lawrence, Kansas, I saw Mrs. Jane R. (Hicks) Oliver, wife of Adam Oliver, a survivor of the Lawrence Massacre, and had from her the following. At the time of the Massacre they lived at 623 Indiana Street. On the morning of the massacre the family was awakened by the firing of the guerillas; a guerilla rode up to the door. The ruffian left, and in a few minutes another appeared. The second guerrilla had not been gone long until another stopped at the door. He finally determined to burn the house and said to her son Adam, then a very small boy that he must get the matches.
