William G. Cutler's History of the State of Kansas The county was organized on February 27, 1874. The methods
by which it was accomplished are not recorded, but it is a well-known fact that when the organization took place there were
not twenty bona fide settlers in the county. Gov. Thomas A. Osborn appointed J. Harmony county Clerk, J. K. Fical,
J. M. Jordan and G. W. Lacy as County Commissioners to fill those offices temporarily, and designated Kingman as the temporary
county seat. The officers met at Kingman March 5, 1874, for the purpose of organizing a board of permanent County Commissioners;
the temporary board was declared permanent; but as J. K. Fical withdrew, W. C. Frink was appointed in his place. On petition
from the citizens, the board called a special election, to be held at Kingman, April 7, 1874, to vote on the question of issuing
county bonds to the amount of $70,000, for the following purposes, to wit:--$25,000 for a court house, $10,000 for bridges
and $35,000 for general expenses, said bonds to be payable ten years from date of issue, bearing interest at the rate of ten
per cent per annum, payable semi-annually. It was then ordered that the county and township officers should be voted for at
the same election. At this election the following officers were declared elected: H. L. Ball, J. K. Fical, G. W. Lacy, Commissioners;
J. Harmony, Clerk; F. S. Fical, Sheriff; J. M. Jordan, Treasurer; W. P. Brown, County Attorney; George Pitts, Probate Judge;
G. A. Whicher, County Superintendent; W. J. Harmony, Register of Deeds; W. P. Brown, Coroner; R. R. Wilson, Surveyor; G. A.
Whicher, District Clerk. The county seat was located at Kingman and the issue of the $70,000 in bonds authorized. These bonds
were printed, but were cancelled the next spring and destroyed. What the vote of the county was at the first election is not
shown by the records, but it must have been very light, as the actual settlers in the county were very few.
