William E. Eutsler

"Linda, I found your Okie Legacy, Okie's Heart To Heart. Very interesting reading. In several of your articles you refer to William E. Eutsler or W. E. Eutsler.

William Eutsler was born near what is now Tescott, Kansas. His father, Andrew J. "AJ" Eutsler was an early settler in Ottawa County, Kansas. In 1868 William's father, "AJ", was recruited by Colonel Forsyth as frontier scout. In September of 1868, while in what is now Yuma County, Colorado, this party of civilian scouts was attacked by Roman Noses' warriors. The battle of Beecher Island followed. In the battle with A. J. Eutsler was one Jack Stilwell, who was later a well known Oklahoma lawman and judge. Just thought you might be interested. Not related, but studying the Forsyth Scouts." -- Mike, Wichita, KS
