The Emporia Guards, under command of Capt. W. F. Cloud, left here two weeks ago for their rendezvous at Lawrence. We had the pleasure of meeting the boys at Burlingame in the evening of the same day they left here. They were in high glee, and we don't believe it will do for an equal number of traitors to face them in a fight. They are the true grit. Under the drill of Capt. Cloud, they will be one of the finest companies in the State. The members hail from different portions of Breckenridge county, and the company is composed of the very best of our young men. Below we give a list of the names of the company. They were afterwards joined by about twenty Burlingame boys:
W. F. Cloud, A. J. Mitchell, A. G. Proctor, C. S. Hills, Jos. A. Fuller, Jos. V. Randolph, Chas. Stotler, Wm.. T. Galliher, W. S. Hunt, Jos. Rickabaugh, H. H. Suttle, Henry Pearce, M. Faucett, Edward Trask, David S. Gilmore, Frank McFadden, Sam. Hammil, Wm. V. Phillips, Chas. A. Archer, Chas Kiger, Wm. B. Tompkins, Lewis Haver, John Clark, M. Meyers, Isaac Gaster, H. Burt, John P. Sleeper, Alpheus J. Heustie (sic), Wm. H. Allen, B.F.W. Perry, Thomas Miller, J. C. Gruwell, William Harvey, Albert Edwards, P. G. Hallberg, Abner Brink, A. S. Broxson, Isaac Denham, J. N. Spencer, G. W. Reed, L. A. Loomis, John Curtis, F. W. Hirth, Frank. Grisey.
We wish the Guards a happy time, and a safe return home. May they fully realize all their glowing anticipations of the pleasures of camp life.

From the Emporia Gazette, July 27, 1904:
Joseph Rickabaugh Dead.
Yesterday, a little after noon, after a sickness of several weeks, Joseph Rickabaugh, one of the first Lyon County settlers, died at his home two miles northeast of town.
Mr. Rickabaugh came to Lyon County in 1857 and homesteaded the place that he lived at the time of his death. A good many of the early settlers remember him as a wagon-maker. His shop was on the site now occupied by Watson-Bailweg Lumber Company, and he was also justice of the peace at that time. Afterward he moved back to the farm, which is on the main line of the Santa Fe just this side of old East Lake, and ran a market garden. He was a member of the Eleventh [sic - see notes below] Kansas Cavalry during the war and at the time of his death was a member of the Preston B. Plumb post. He owned a quarter section of land near Lebo, and a few years ago a coal mine was opened up on his place and he has devoted most of his time to it. He was 71 years old. A wife and eight children survive him. The children, all of whom were at home at the time of their father's death, are: Rollin, Edward, Archie, Addie, William, Urban, Maggie, and Ernest. The funeral, which will be in the charge of the G.A.R. will be held tomorrow at the Methodist church. Rev. John Price will be in charge. Interment will be at Maplewood Cemetery.

From FAG Member #47232334:
"Joseph Rickabaugh was born in Pennsylvania, most likely in Cumberland County. The obituary gets his Civil War service wrong and shortchanges it as well. He served with the 14th Kansas Cavalry at the rank of 1st lieutenant for two months at war's end and, before that, with the 2nd Kansas Infantry, not with the 11th."
