Kittie Hays Houghton at the Admire Fall Festival, October 2014

Kittie Hays was the adopted daughter of Seth Hays; great grandson of Daniel Boone and prosperous trader on the Santa Fe Trail at Council Grove, Kansas.


Kittie shares stories of her childhood underfoot at the busy trading post, as well as her education at Westport, Missouri.  By the time of her eighteenth birthday, she learned her vast inheritance of the Hays estate had been spent and she found herself, again, a penniless orphan.

Kittie Hays Houghton is performed by Kitty Frank of Allen, Kansas.
