| Origin of Name: | In memory of Corp. Noah Van Buren Ness (or Kness), of Co. G, 7th Kansas Cavalry, who died 22 Aug 1864 at Abbeyville, Miss., of wounds received in action three days earlier. His military records spelled his surname Ness, and that spelling was used in the statute creating the county; however, recent research indicates he signed his name Kness on various legal documents. (See 'City, county realize their own name is misspelled', Topeka Capital-Journal, 6 Sept 2004.) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
