LYDA CONLEY

Graduated from Kansas City College of Law in 1902 .Since no man would represent the three sisters against the U.S. Government,Lyda took it upon herself to prepare for legal action by mastering the law todefend the burial grounds. 

FORT CONLEY

While Lyda fought her battle in the courts, her sisterHelena, guarded the self made fort because of the intrusions. Helena wired the cemetery gates together andput up a sign: "You Trespass at Your Own Peril."

The sisters took up their vigil over the graves afterlearning the land was about to be sold. They built a 6 x 8 foot frame structureand placed a fence of iron spikes around it. Helena stood armed with their father's doublebarreled shotgun, an axe and the American Flag. She used them without fear.Instantly, their new home became known as "Fort Conley."
