Major Socrates Justice1
M, b. 25 December 1848, d. 2 November 1938
| Birth* | 25 December 1848 | Major was born on 25 December 1848 at Parksley, Accomack Co, VA.1 |
| Obituary - Father's* | 12 March 1898 | Major was named in his father's obituary on 12 March 1898 at Accomack Co, VA. He was shown as a son Socrates Justis in the obituary of Samuel of I., aged 80, of Kiowa, Kansas..2 |
| Death* | 2 November 1938 | He died on 2 November 1938 at Kiowa, Kansas, at age 89. "Plotting a path from Parksley to prairie" By Candy Taylor
Editor's note:
In 1984 a lady living in New Mexico placed an ad in the Eastern Shore News requesting information about her ancestors. T. Drummond Mason of Parksley responded to that ad. In return he received information about a Parksley native who played a key role in the settling of the west- but never forgot his roots. Mr. Mason has made that information available for publication in the following account of the life of one remarkable man.
The obituary appeared in the Nov. 7, 1938 edition of the Kiowa News - Review - Record in Kiowa, Kan. "Major Socrates Justis, son of Samuel and Mary Justis, was born on Dec. 25, 1848. near Parksley, Accomac (sic) County, Va.," it read. "He departed this life at his home in Kiowa, Kan., on Nov. 2, 1938, at the age of 89 years, ten months, and seven days."
No simple newspaper obituary could have contained what those 89-plus years had represented - or the mark M.S. Justis had left on one area along the old Chisholm Trail.
Apparently, M.S. had spent his early years living quite happily in the Parksley area, but at the age of 24 got a hankering to wander out west. It was 1872, and the west was still wild. Fortunately, M.S. had at some point recounted his fabulous experiences to a reporter in Kansas. Thus they have been preserved for posterity.
He began his account with details of how he, along with Dr. A.F.D. Ewell and Oliver Ewell, made their way from Parksley to the mighty Mississippi in just four days. After crossing the river on a ferry, the trio eventually, by way of a team and wagon, arrived in Summer County, Kan., where they staked a claim on the Chikaskia River. Their claim was
on the Chisholm Trail.
The three young men found pioneer life hard and by the time the winter of 1872 rolled around, they were nearly destitute. Their cash had all been spent on stocking their claim with cattle.
Writing to relatives back home in Parksley, the men requested $350 to get them through the winter. There was an additional problem, however, when wrote M.S., "the postmaster...stole our draft, and we had a lean winter - prairie chickens, cornbread, and milk."
They persevered, however, and following the conviction of the postmaster and the return of their money, more cattle were purchased.
M.S. next related how in 1874 the grasshopper plague hit the plains. "One day we went out with corn knives to cut the corn," he wrote. "After working all morning, we had to ride two miles for dinner - and when we got back we could hardly find the sod corn. The grasshoppers had arrived during our absence, and they literally ate everything. - We had to put our clothes in the dugout to keep the grasshoppers from eating them. They were so thick they even stopped the Santa Fe train running to Dodge City."
More cattle dealing in the southwest followed. Again, adversity took its toll. Less than half of a herd of 1,050 survived one strenuous drive. In 1876, MS. and the two Ewells sold their remaining livestock and returned to Parksley.
It is not clear from the surviving notes exactly when M.S. Justis returned to the prairie life; however, it is clear that in 1878 he and Olive were reunited near Dodge City. Dr. A.F.D. Ewell apparently remained in Parksley, the town in which his gravesite can be seen today.
Indian uprisings were the norm at the time Ewell and Justis got back in the cattle business.
M.S. wrote, "While riding up the Chisholm Trail one day I saw a group of men coming. When I got closer to them I found they were Indians. I was so scared I had to hold my hat on with my hand."
Despite this additional peril, the partners were successful enough that in 1884 they became key investors in the Kiowa Town Company.
The stockholders purchased 5,000 acres of Kansas territory at $8 an acre. The town of Kiowa was born.
Being a businessman, M.S. knew the town needed a financial institution to draw in other enterprises. Soon the Bank of Kiowa was a reality - but not until after the safe, being brought in from great distance by wagon, had spent several days stuck in the Medicine River.
Not wanting to risk such difficulty with the delivery of the cash to stock the safe, M.S. rode from Harper to the fledging town with $8,000 operational money in his pants pocket.
The next major event in M.S. Justis' new town was one which, strangely enough, was occurring simultaneously in his native town. The first trims to pull into Kiowa, and Parksley, likely received the same jubilar receptions back in 1885.
Meanwhile the cattle business of Ewell and Justis was flourishing at last. Twenty-five thousand head of cattle grazed on prairie land lease from the Cherokees. There were still some rough times ahead o particularly after the "open range" was opened for settlement.
But until his death in 1938, M.S. Justis, retained his pioneer spirit ... an his ties to his native Eastern Shore. He boasted of having returned to Parksley 11 times during the years he was helping to settle a once wild land. But it was his own town of Kiowa he loved best ... and which love him best.
That obituary did contain a bit more than the basic facts about the man. It contained a tribute ... "His life was that of the rugged and progressive pioneer, always willing and eager to render his part to the best interest his community and surroundings."
