Ulrich (Uly) Harbaugh, son of Jacob Benjamin (Ben) and Mary (Gronemiar)
   Harbaugh, was born 1892 at home, 8 miles south of Medicine Lodge. His dad
   came from Iowa in 1881 and lived in a dugout till they built a home. Uly's
   mother came from Kentucky. He had three brothers and two sisters: Eli 
   (deceased), John, Julia, Arthur (Short), and Bessie (Mrs. Jibo) Hewitt. 
   They attended Roundup School, 1 mile west of Gerlane. His folks farmed,
   raised cattle, horses, mules, hogs, and chickens.
     In 1912 Uly married Mary (Page), daughter of Charles and Nancy Page, and
   lived west of Gerlane. They had two daughters, Faye (Mrs. Lester) Gilmore
   and Ruth (Mrs. Luke) Chapin. In 1918 a large snowstorm covered canyons
   and cattle. People were weeks digging out. Mary took ill and passed away
   in February, 1919. Later Uly moved to his farm south of Gerlane.
     In 1921 Uly married Mabel Angeline Hensley, daughter of Bruce and Liza
   Jane (Newton) Hensley. The Hensleys came to Kansas in 1910 in a covered
   wagon from Missouri. Mabel was born 1899 in Wright County, Missouri. She 
   had three sisters and two brothers: Elma (Mrs. Len) Groendycke, Arvel, 
   Oral, Lura (Mrs. Bud) Rickard, and Troye (Mrs. Lester) Rose. They attended
   school at Roundup. The Hensleys had a boarding house in Gerlane. Mabel worked
   at the Railroad Depot during WWI.
     In March, 1922, Faye and Ruth, moved to Medicine Lodge to live with Uly's
   parents.
     Uly and Mabel farmed, raised cattle, hogs, horses, mules, and had a stallion
   and jack for breeding purposes. They raised a garden. They butchered hogs,
   cattle, chickens, turkeys, and wild game for meat. They made lard to cook
   with and soap to wash clothes. Sadirons were heated to press clothes. They
   heated homes and cooked with wood stoves. They milked cows, churned butter,
   sold cream and eggs. There were dirt storms which were hard on the crops
   and animals. They had a bad blizzard in 1931. The women  would have all day 
   meetings to make bedding by quilting or making comforts. They took covered
   dishes, and the children played.
     Uly and Mabel had five children born at home: Albert, Betty (Mrs. Bill)
   Garten, Jim, Mollie (Mrs. Robert) Watts, and Jake, who attended the new
   Gerlane School.
     They raised black Angus cattle with a "Fishhook brand". In 1949 they moved
   to Medicine Lodge. Uly drove back and forth to the farm for several years,
   helping with the work.
     In their retirement years, they enjoyed fishing and visiting with their
   brothers, sisters, and friends. They enjoyed a good 'pitch' game and big
   dinners with their family and friends. They are fortunate and pleased to 
   have all sons, wives, daughters, and husbands still living in Barber County.
   Most of the grandchildren and great grandchildren live in other parts of the
   state. Uly and members of his family have enjoyed participating in the Peace 
   Treaty Pageant for several years.
