LE LOUP.
------------
Le Loup is a small station and postoffice on the Kansas City, Lawrence & Southern Kansas Railroad, eight miles from Ottawa. It was at first named Ferguson, after Robert Ferguson, who was one of the first settlers, and who owned the land upon which the town was located. It is situated on level prairie, and though a small place, is quite an important shipping point for grain, hay and stock.
Among those to locate early at Le Loup or Ferguson, were the following persons: J. A. Stonebraker, who in company with Mr. Ferguson built the first house in 1870; William Hog, George Morally and Dr. Combs. The Postoffice was established in 1870, Mr. Stonebraker being appointed first Postmaster. In the same year J. A. Stonebraker opened the first store.
The first school was taught by Cyrus Jenkins, in 1879, in a schoolhouse just previously built in the south part of town. The first sermon was preached in the depot building by Rev. Dr. Pile, in 1872.
Old settlers say that in the early history of the village its progress was retarded by the sale and use of whiskey. It is now in a thrifty condition, being inhabited and surrounded by a good, industrious class of people.
