Mrs Elizabeth Morsbach, Inman,
Revives lost Art of Quilting
Il\ Surah Mictiaelts
About 20 or TO years ago quilt
ing was considered an art Many
women prided themselves in the
difficult designs they could put
together in an appealing manner
and tin dainty quilting they could
do on these quilts.
So it was that Mrs Elizabeth
Morshach of Inman, in these span
of years, has quilted some fifty
qui1<s She has also helped many
of her friends and neighbor* with
their quilts over the years. Her
favorite quilt is the flower garden
quilt she made some time ago.
Mrs Morshach is now 74 years
old and has a family of nine chil
dren She didn’t start working on
quilts until her family was grown
She has given her children and
grandchildren many of her quilts
she enjoyed making in her spare
moments
Mrs Morshach likes to recall
the early days, especially of her
belated honeymoon which she and
her husband took five months af
ter they were married.
They then lived on a farm at
Falun, Kans. and their trip start
ed in January of 1901 to Buekland.
Kans.. a distance of nearly 200
miles. It was a very cold and
snowy month and their travels
were made more difficult by this
unpleasant weather.
At Falun, Mrs. Morshach and her
husband, his two sisters and two
brothers hoarded a train and trav
eled as far as White City. Kans.
At White City they took her father
in-law’s two teams, a covered
wagon and an open wagon with
supplies.
They left White City, Kans in
n very cold and snowy January
morning. This special day it was
snowing so hard they could only
travel alxmt eight miles.
After a few days they stopped at
a farm house to bake bread. The
boys of this farm family mistook
Mrs Morshach’s husband as the
father of his two brothers, because
he had such a long heard This in
cident caused some merriment in
41. . .. .1 Hn,,nn A'.A #«ll
the hoys the difference.
They traveled hy covered wagon
for thirteen days before reaching
Buckland, Kans. Mrs. Morsbach
said it snowed every day but two
and it was very cold.
They encountered many hard
ships. The only way the girls could
keep warm was to stay in bed.
The nights were terribly cold. The
only good sleep they had during
their trip was one night they slept
in a farmer’s barn.
Several times they stopped along
the way and built a fire and made
themselves some coffee.
All the way to Buckland they
saw' dugouts along the ravines.
These were the places people lived
while they were building their new
homes. Buckland was then a new
town being built.
Mrs. Elizabeth Morsbach still en
joys making quilts and helping her
church with its many projects
She enjoys visiting with her
neighlxirs and spending a part of
her time with her children and
grandchildren.
