  	Aid to Kansas due to abolitionist activity
  	At a meeting of the citizens of Polk County, in the court house in Bolivar, August 30, 1856, resolutions of sympathy were adopted for residents of Kansas Territory on account of “invasions of Kansas by bodies of armed abolitionists," and aid was invoked to "secure immunity to life and property" for the people there. Of this meeting, E. M. Campbell was president; Dr. C. H. Bird, vice-president; and I. W. Davis, secretary. The resolutions referred to were drafted by a committee of ten appointed for that duty, and constituted as follows: George M. Williams, John W. Wilson, B. M. Jewett, J. F. Snyder, J. B. Clark, Benjamin F. Acock, John Slagle, Burk Priddy, L. J. Ritchey, I. W. Davis. Four persons in each township in the county were appointed to call on citizens for contributions of money, provisions, etc., for the relief of the distressed objects of the meeting's solicitude. The following are the names: John W. Williams, Burk Priddy, B. M. Jewett, D. S. Clark, Marion; B. F. Acock, Gideon Rule, B. C. Mitchell, A. Ewing, Looney; W. B. Mitchell, A. Carlock, Jesse Potter, W. H. Newland, Jackson; W. D. Cowden, J. B. Lusk, John T. Self, James Rogers, Mooney; W. R. Woolard, Root Evans, M. W. Easley, James McBroom, Madison; James G. Human, Thomas D. Hall, George Yoast, E. Arnold, Johnson; A. Zumwalt, A. Turk, T. Wainscote, H. H. Simpson, Greene; B. F. Gordon, J. W. Ratlifif, John Vanderford, S. O. Gooden, Benton. Later an armed company was organized, in which J. F. Snyder and "Jake" Clark were leading spirits, which went into Kansas, and aided some settlers to move into Missouri. It was absent a month, and had no part in any scene of bloodshed. It consisted of from fifty to sixty men.
