- found: Kansas Historical Society, Kansapedia, October 11, 2013(Samuel Lyle Adair, who made his mark in Kansas Territory as a Congregational missionary and abolitionist, was born on April 22, 1811, in Ross County, Ohio. His early education was in the local country schools and at age seventeen he apprenticed to a local blacksmith and wagon maker. After deciding to enter the ministry, Adair attended the Western Reserve College for a short time and then entered Oberlin College, Oberlin, Ohio, an institution whose well-know positions on slavery and human rights more closely resembled those of Adair. He graduated from the college in 1838 and the theological seminary in 1841, and during the latter year, Adair was married to Florella Brown also an Oberlin graduate and a half sister of John Brown, from Hudson, Ohio. For the next thirteen years the Adairs served a series of Congregational churches in Ohio and Michigan. Then, in 1854, under the auspices of the American Missionary Association, they traveled to Kansas with the second New England Emigrant Aid Company party and organized the Osawatomie Congregational Church. They also took a claim and built a log home a few miles northwest of Osawatomie in 1855. During the dreaded war that followed, Adair served for three years as a military chaplain at Fort Leavenworth, where in 1865 Florella Adair died. The Reverend Adair returned to Osawatomie, where he faithfully served the church he founded and the people of Kansas generally until his death on December 27, 1898.) - http://www.kshs.org/kansapedia/samuel-lyle-adair/15121
