Daniel Blachly was born on 6 August 1720. Parents: Ebenezer Blachly M.D. and Jane Ingersoll?.

Eben Blachly M.D. was born on 28 April 1800 in Mercer County, Pennsylvania. He died on 21 July 1877 at the age of 77 in Quindaro, Kansas. Dr. Eben Blachly passed the Ohio State Medical Examination in 1828 ane then practiced medicine in Warren, Ohio for about 10 years. He moved with his father to Dane County, Wisconson in 1846. A Congregational church was organized in 1848 and he was its pastor. Eben had a farm in Dane County. About the end of the civil war Dr. Blachly was captured by the confederates while searching for one of his sons who had also been captured. He was tried as a spy, and was placed under a tree with a noose around his neck. Granted permission to pray, he prayed so long and effectively that he was released. In 1866, Eben and Jane Blachly sold their Wisconson farm and holdings and moved to Kansas to 130 acres purchased from the Wyandotte Indians. 30 of these acres were lost to squatters who had established rights there. The Blachlys opened Freedman's University on the remaining land, for the education and spiritual improvement of newly freed blacks. When Eben became too ill to continue the work, the university was turned over to a church group, except for the stone house in Quindaro where Eben died.
Jane Trew Blachly wrote in 1875 "Your brother Dr. is very much engaged about the school, trying to bring the property into a shape to support the school. His health is very good & he is very bright, sister thinks he is the smartest old man she ever saw. He preaches to the whites now the Colored preferring their own more excitable preacher. He has a sore on his lip of ten years standing & a large wart near the left eye. They are pronounced cancerous by many physicians. He however does not quite believe it. Some call it lupus a malignant disease but not so bad as cancer."

KSHS LIBRARY ADDS WESTERN UNIVERSITY (QUINDARO) RECORDS
A rare 1926 Western University yearbook from the Quindaro (now Kansas City, Kan.) community was recently added to Kansas State Historical Society's collection. The "Bulldog" features class photos and interesting stories and comments about students attending the university.
Western University evolved from Rev. Eben Blachly's effort to begin a school for the children of escaped slaves around 1862 in Quindaro. In 1865 the school was incorporated as Freedman's University. The young school struggled, and in 1881 it was taken over by the African Methodist Episcopal Church and renamed Western University.
In 1899, the state established the Industrial Department as part of the university, and through the early part of the 20th century, the church operated a seminary and offered collegiate and college preparatory coursework, while the state offered commercial and vocational training. The Depression and deteriorating relations between the church and state caused another decline, and the school closed in 1943; the Industrial Department was consolidated with the Kansas Vocational Institute, another African American school, in Topeka.
The yearbook can be viewed in the research room of the Center for Historical Research at the Kansas History Center, 6425 SW Sixth Avenue, Topeka, KS 66615-1099.

From Cosmos Club Journal: "It all started in the summer of 1941. The war in Europe had been going on for two years. But the mood in the United States was "stay out." In August 1941, the US House of Representatives adopted, by a single vote, a proposal to extend the draft of young men into the armed forces.
In June, I had graduated from the Peabody Institute of Music (now part of Johns Hopkins University) with a teacher's certificate in cello. There was no work for either cellists or teachers. Luckily, I had an A.B. degree from Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida, and decided to use this to secure a commission in the US Navy. My application was accepted pending a physical exam. Application denied: underweight; slightly deaf in left ear; and colorblind with respect to certain shades of pale blue and pale green. Hardly fit material for the Navy, which apparently required perfection.
In November 1941, I became an assistant to William Hard, Sr. (CC 1917-1962), who was then a Roving Editor of the Reader's Digest. My title was "Labor Researcher." When my draft number came up, one of the top Digest editors wrote a letter to the draft board explaining that I had an essential job with a magazine that was essential to morale, both civilian and military.
In January 1945, I was promoted to "Associate Editor" and my name was placed on the masthead. By that time, however, our troops in Europe had suffered through the Battle of the Bulge and the Army decided that the war was going to last indefinitely, making it necessary to draft every man who could stand up without help and every mouse who could squeak. By that time, I had acquired a wife, three children, and a mortgage. The letter about an essential job on an essential magazine did not work. I was drafted and told to report at 6:00 A.M. on 3 April 1945 for transportation to Fort George G. Meade to be inducted into the Army. "

Frederick J.O. Blachly (CC '80) was an associate editor of the Reader's Digest and later a writer and public affairs adviser for the departments of Commerce and State, and in the executive Office of the President. He says "I made my living as a writer and my life as a musician." He played in the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra and was first cellist of the Washington Camerata.

A performer since the age of five with the New York City Opera, the American Ballet Theater, and both on and off Broadway, Mr. Blachly attended the Oberlin Conservatory and College as a double bass and philosophy major. In his final year, in addition to presenting a double bass recital and premiering nine compositions in concert, including a fully-funded 20 minute work for modern dance and twenty-four musicians, he started a city-wide parade and formed a traditional Morris team, the O-Men, before graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in Music.
"Between degrees, he worked full-time as a bassist, gambist, and male alto, primarily with the Chris Norman Ensemble—with whom he has recorded three critically acclaimed albums and toured throughout North America and Scotland—and the St. Michael's Choir, under the direction (until recently) of Nicholas White.
"He is currently pursuing his Master of Music in Composition at the Mannes College of Music in New York, studying with Robert Cuckson. In October 2004 he was one of two composers selected to write for the Composer-in-Residence Contemporary Ensemble, a commission upon which he worked closely with the Composer-in-Residence at Mannes, Chen Yi. Mr. Blachly has also recently completed commissions for the Wichita Symphony Orchestra, the Tradewinds Wind Quintet, and is currently working on a work for orchestra.
"Mr. Blachly has been the recipient of numerous awards, including the Bertelsmann World of Expression $10,000 first place scholarship for composition in 1998 and the Frank McCourt prize for Literature, also in 1998. He was recently selected to take part in the John Duffy Composer's Institute in Norfolk, Virginia, where he had the opportunity to have his works read by the Miami String Quartet and the Imani Winds. At the festival he was able to work with and learn from John Corigliano, Tania Leon, Billy Taylor, Mark Adamo, and John Duffy himself.
"James is a co-founder of the Pharos Music Project, about which more information is available at www.pharosmusicproject.org. The group is dedicated to supporting and performing excellent new works for the voice, and is founded with the conviction that strong writing for the voice is an essential ingredient in the continued growth and importance of new music in our world. The group received 290 submissions for their fall 2005 concert from composers throughout the US and several from across the world, and the evening was a joyous occasion. The next concert Pharos will present will be 20 May, 7:30pm at St. Bart's Church. Financial support for this concert is welcome; interested parties can contact James directly at the above address.
"Prior to Mannes and Oberlin, Mr. Blachly attended Stuyvesant High School and the Bank Street School for Children, as well as the Third Street Music School Settlement and the Kinhaven Music School.
