[49] (Jefferson county, KS was organized in 1855, and the
city of Oskaloosa was formed in 1856. Kansas was admitted
as a territory in 1854 and as a state in 1861.)

Given Rev. George Needham's Adventist religous leanings,
Charles Fitch Needham is almost certainly named for the
Millerite preacher Charles Fitch (1805-1844).
