Mulvane Ranch Transferred to Mrs. Hughes, Rossville, Kansas
Description
MRS. M. M. Hughes, Los Angeles, June 26, 1944, became sole owner of the Mulvane Ranch west of Rossville. This resulted when turned over to her in a transfer filed in the office of Homer Wright, reg-ister of deeds.
“The purpose is to keep it in the Mulvane family and I hope it will remain there for many years to come,” Mr. Morgan said.
Mrs. Hughes and Mrs. Morgan were sisters of the late Dave Mulvane, former Republican national committeeman for Kansas and they became owners of the land after his death. There are approximately 3,000 acres, one half of which is pasture land near the river.
The late Jaob Mulvane, their father and a wealthy Topeka banker and philanthropist, purchased the land more than 75 years ago and for years operated a big cattle ranch. A part of the pasture land was on an island in the river. In 1884 he changed the course of the river to connect the island with the mainland. Altho [sic] all the land now is on the north side of the river, the part that used to be on the island is in Wabaunsee County.

The balance is in Shawnee County.
After Jaob Mulvane's death, his son Dave inherited the ranch, and it was carried in his name until his death. It then was taken over by his two sisters. Mrs. Morgan died July 6, 1942. Now Mrs. Hughes, the only surviving member of the family, has purchased her sister’s half of the ranch to become sole owner.
