and mined in Colorado.

He married Essie Wood of Madison. They had three children: twins Frank and
Noah Noble, and Beverly Tanner. Frank lives in Eureka. Beverly died of
cancer in 1964. She married Maynard Tanner. They had three children: Jim,
Joan, and Janet. She and the children lived in Hamilton in 1944, when
Maynard was in the service.

Phil N. Piatt was born in Monticello, Illinois, in 1872 and died in Eureka
in 1967. Most of Phil's adult life was spent in CA. He had attended the
Rolla School of Mines in Rolla, Missouri, and then had gone to CA. to mine.
There he married Della. They had no children.
However more than one generation of nieces and nephews could hardly wait for
Phil's spring return to Kansas, where the fish called him each year. His
piece of land at Burkett was his pride.
He always said that when he grew old, he'd come to Kansas to retire.
Finally, when he was about 92, he "found" his way back and lived his last
years here.
