- The only time Anna is listed as a lacemaker on a census once they came to America was on the 1875 Kansas census. All other census records list her as a homemaker. I believe she might have used her skills as a lacemaker to earn some extra money during the early years in Kansas.
- According to the 1875 Kansas census, they had two horses.
- Anna brought her mother’s sourdough yeast starter with her when they came to America according to a newspaper article telling about an interview with ARJ’s younger sister, Viola.
Waves of Wheat is a creative historical nonfiction novel being written by me, Shari Edwards, to tell the story of the Arthur Dibbens family, who came to America in March of 1872. The Dibbens family had been on the Isle of Wight, a small island just south of mainland England, for centuries. There are many Dibbens/Jarman cousins still living on the island. While I have to invent scenes and dialogue for this story, I attempt to stay close to the facts. ARJ was my great grandpa, my mother's grandpa.
