Underwood and Barbara Metzger. I did ancestry DNA and I am a second cousin once removed to a grandchild of David F Underwood. There are three sons of David that lived in Jefferson and Shawnee Counties Ks. Jesse Morton and Emanuel S and Silas Nimrod . He married Flora Ellen Hastings 4 Sep 1912 Council Grove, Morris Co, Ks. Children are Kenneth and Donald. He died of a heart attack at the age of 76. He always had candy corn in his pockets for the grandchildren. Before he married he worked as a wallpaper hanger. He and Flora had a vegetable truck farm and lived just down the road from his mother and Jesse Kean. Before he died he was a night watchman for the flour mill. From granddaughter: When we were young we were young we would spend every holiday at Grandmother Keans. All the family would come and we had large family dinners around a large round table. We would get together with all the cousins. the 4 of us always slept on the floor in front of the front door on pallets of blankets. On memorial day we would go to all the cemeteries and lay flowers on the graves. Most of the family, both Mother and Fathers, are buried in Dickinson County. Then we would have a picnic at the park. We always had watermelon and homemade icecream. We would also take turns spending time with Grandmother Flora Kean in the summer. One Christmas we were going to Abilene from Colby, had a flat tire. One of the packages went flying out in the snowstorm. On the way home we found we found the package up against a fence. At Grandma's, I remember the Oak Telephone, Party line, Icebox on the screened porch, milking the cows, very large garden, home churned butter. wood cooking stove, grandpa Kean making pancackes in the morning, flour sacks that were of different designs and we would pick out one that you wanted to use for a dress, gathering eggs, killing the chickens for Sunday dinner. climbing a huge tree to the top(Joy and Jan did this), milk cans and a truck that came by to pick up milk, ice sign in window so iceman would bring ice for icebox, walnut trees and childrens job to crack and get meat out of them. Grandmother belonged to " Rebecca's" and would dress up for meetings, she later went into a Odd Fellows/Rebecca retirement home that was outside of Manhattan. Kenneth took care of her affairs and later Barbara. Eds family lived down the road and his family lived on land between them and Grandfathers. We would walk down to see them in the evenings. On the other side lived a woman named Swanger. Grandmother called her Swanger and Swanger called Granmother Kean(Kane). The name was pronounced "Kane" untill World War II although in places still Kane. Grandmother was a midwife and she helped the town doctor a lot. Kolean was delivered at Grandmothers, the rest of us in a hospital, three of us in Abilene and Cheryl in Great Bend.
