There is also a listing of the accomplishments of the first six months of the war. The facility, named after Brigadier General Frederick Funston, was one of sixteen divisional cantonment training camps built during World War I to house and train soldiers for military duty. Construction began in July of 1917 as approximately 15,000 carpenters built buildings in city block squares. The number of buildings estimated to have been erected at the camp were from 2,800 to 4,000 to accommodate the over 40,000 soldiers from the U.S. Army's 89 Division that were stationed at the facility. After the war, Camp Funston became a "mustering-out" center as soldiers prepared to return to civilian life. In 1924, the military decommissioned the 2,000 acre site and dismantled the buildings.

Samuel J. Stewart

This cabinet card shows Samuel J. Stewart, (1833-1917). Stewart a native of Miami County Ohio migrated with his brother Watson, in 1856, to the Kansas Territory. The brothers were members of the Kansas Vegetarian Emigration Company that settled in Allen County, Kansas. The group of settlers were planning to promote the faith and ideals of vegetarianism. The settlement never developed into a thriving community. Samuel however stayed and acquired nearly 400 acres of land south of Humboldt close to Osage Indian lands. Samuel was considered a friend among the Osage, for helping them during their times of need, which gave him the means to become a prominent leader in the community. In 1857, he was selected as a member of the territorial legislature and as a delegate to the Free State Convention. The start of the Civil War however, put a temporary hold on Samuel's political career. In August of 1861, he enlisted in Company H, of the 4th Regiment Kansas Infantry, as a first lieutenant. When the regiment was reassigned in the spring of 1862 as the 10th Regiment, he was promoted to captain. After the war Samuel returned to Kansas to resume a career in politics. In 1882, he was elected to the Kansas House of Representatives as a Republican from District Twenty-Six. Samuel served in the legislature until 1886, before returning to private life. For several years he was engaged in the pursuits of farming and livestock raising until he returned to politics. Samuel was elected in 1901 to serve in the Kansas Senate from the Fourteenth District. During his term he served as chairman of the Roads and Bridges Committee and was instrumental in changing the system of road taxation. He retired from politics in 1903, but remained an active member in the Humboldt community. He was a member of the Grand Army of the Republic and served as commander of Vicksburg Post No. 72 in Humboldt. On April 19, 1917 Samuel J. Stewart passed away at the age of eight-four in Allen County, Kansas.
