Correction on story about statue

I must admit fellow readers that I have made an error with my story "Wrong name on statue" Everything I said was true however............. I did not realize until a few letters surfaced that Noah V. Kness was Jewish. He wanted to marry a woman from Kansas who was Chistian. Noah converted his faith and also his last name. Noah V. Kness himself dropped the K from his name and it was not a mistake on a roster of the 7th Kansas Cavalry as I had thought. So Noah V. Ness and his statue and the city named after him and the county are all correct.
