Ancestors
My great-grandparents came to Kansas from Ohio by means of covered wagon. This photo is the evening they arrived in Augusta, Kansas (just east of Wichita) in 1885, and where they settled. They are in the foreground of the photo.

My grandmother Boucher is the young girl on the dark horse with the wide brimmed hat.

Many Boucher's still remain in that part of Kansas, including my father.

OurEcho is a FREE SERVICE dedicated to capturing and sharing the individual "bits and pieces" that define our local communities. It might be a bit of interesting local history, an old photograph, a special memory or just a funny story. We are particularly interested in those fascinating and intriguing events/people (both large and small) that we all encounter as part of the human experience. It might be something that happened recently or something passed down to you through your family. Our goal is to provide a forum for local communities to share who they are through their stories and photographs. When you take the time to share these reflection with others, you help us better understand you, the world we live in, and if we are lucky, they help us better understand ourselves.
