Biographical History
On July 3, 1966, Kansas governor William H. Avery announced the formation of the Chisholm Trail Centennial Commission to develop and coordinate Kansas' official recognition of the 1867 founding of the Chisholm Trail. Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas participated, each with its own state commission, in the collaborative Tri-State Chisholm Trail Centennial Commission. The Kansas Chisholm Trail Centennial Commission operated from 1966-1968. It was composed of R. B. Laing, president of Abilene Flour Mills, chairman; K. B. Bruce, Hillsboro; Henry B. Jamison, Abilene; M. Dale Larsen, Wichita; Nyle Miller, secretary to the Kansas State Historical Society in Topeka; Wendell B. Parks, Wichita; Menno Schmidt, Newton; and Mrs. R. W. Van Deventer, Wellington. [Wichita Eagle-Beacon, "Unit Named for Trail's Centennial." July 3, 1966.]
