    Arthur immigrated to America as a baby of not quite two years of age. The family settled in Clay Center, Kansas. His father died when he was just over three years of age. He then lived with his mother and stepfather to adulthood and then settled in Pawnee Rock, Kansas, in 1901.
    Pawnee Rock is a hill topped with a reddish rock surrounded by a flat terrain. Its name comes from an indian battle fought at its base where a band of Pawnee Indians were killed by a larger force of Comanche Indians. Wagon trains, with adventurers like Kit Carson, traveling the Santa Fe Trail would circle their wagons at the base of Pawnee Rock (circa 1824) for an overnight stop. Pawnee Rock was one day's march from the "great bend in the Arkansas River" (now Great Bend, Kansas). Over the years, Pawnee Rock became a prosperous town with railroad service surrounded by fertile farmland which may have prompted young Arthur Dring to choose Pawnee Rock as a place to settle.
    Arthur was employed by the Lindas Lumber Company and the Pawnee Rock State Bank. He was a Mason #167 AF & AM, in Larnard, Kansas. Arthur was active in the Pawnee Rock Methodist Church.
    A story is told that soon after Arthur purchased his first automobile. . . He was driving his car into the garage and beyond all the while yelling "WHOA, WHOA, WHOA" as he forgot to use the brakes on his new horseless carriage!

The idea of these charts is to give the information that we have found in the research we have done and put together and with the help of many other people who have contacted us over the past thirty odd years we have been researching our family. The idea is that you click on the Chart box in blue to be taken to the next family. There is now a large number of charts to be found and connections can be made to all the main families I am researching. If a chart has a box with the standard background it means that as yet I have not put the Chart on the Web.
To conform to the Data Protection Act all the Charts have been altered to exclude all details for living people other than the name.
