I made it my personal mission to locate this old burial ground, and after studying countless aerial photographs, land records and listening to the locals, I finally had a pretty good idea of where the Davis Burial Ground was. 

When I was seven, I would saunter up the hill to an old burial ground called the New Santa Fe Cemetery, an area that felt as if it were a time capsule amid development.

 It was reported a week before the Kentucky Derby, “Lawrin’s workouts make Clockers’ eyes pop!” 

“This place is so important, too, because the farm was such a big part of his life.”

Dan Vaughn was a predatory man with a deep tie to the Grandview, Martin City and New Santa Fe areas of Jackson County, Mo.

Dr. Joshua Thorne’s contributions to Kansas City cannot be understated.

Irish immigrants and descendants helped shape Kansas City. The annual St. Patrick’s Day parade celebrates this rich and complex history.

Jesse’s life is a “striking example of the mutations of fortune.”

On St. Patrick’s Day, 1987, three gentlemen lined up with their rigs in front of the Phillips 66 Station on 135th Street and began to parade around the neighborhood.
