From page 561:

Joseph Thomas Beaver and all his sisters and the one brother were born on the Joseph Beaver, his father's farm. It was a part of the Martin Beaver estate at "Patterson's Corner," which was about a quarter of a mile from their home. It consisted of a school on one corner, sawmill on the second and a store on the third. In 1885 as a young man of about 21 he together with his brother Will and a cousin, Oliver Beaver, who was raised on a farm just across the road, went West to Dodge City, Kans., at that time a wild western frontier town, where they stayed about two years. He then returned to Ohio, before returning to Wichita, Kans., where he married and made his home for many years. In 1889 when the 5,500,000 acres of Indian Territory was opened for white settlement, with his father-in-law and a brother-in-law he went down to establish a claim. It was April 22, 1889, that the U. S. Court established as the day for opening. There were over 50,000 persons rushed across the line that day in the picturesque rush, so accurately described and reproduced in the motion picture Cimmaron. John Thomas Beaver raised and educated his family in Wichita, Kans., where he was in the grocery and produce business.
