- From Autobiography of A.N. See, D.D., 80 Years Old
Taken from Topeka Capital Newspaper January 12, 1967
The Rev. A. N. See Called
"Last of Circuit Riders"
Few men in Kansas have left so profound an influence on northwest Kansas Methodism as did the Rev. A. N. See, D.D., yet 40 years after his death in 1924, his name is almost unknown.
But a few copies of his "Autobiography" in libraries and homes ofthe area serve to recall the beginnings of Methodism to a new generation.
It is to this book that the historian repairs for an authentic look at the frontier church of the high plains.
Mr. See was perhaps the last of the "circuit riders," and his direct approach to problems of the spirit were in the tradition of a Francis Asbury or a Peter Cartwright.
Mr. See was thrice presiding elder of the "Union Pacific" and "Missouri Pacific" counties on the railroad lines running west of Salina. His first appointment was to the Salina district of the Northwest Kansas conference (1882-86), before Oakley was platted on the Union Pacific.
At that time "Forty preachers now occupy the field he at one time served...) It did not realize at the time his book might in time become his greatest contribution.
The book, however was not written during his active life in the field, but during his retirement and at a time when he felt "the shadows are a little longer grown."
The book is full of typographical errors, it rambles, it forgets, it is self-deprecating. There are tipped-in sheets, printed asides, and a small advertisement offering his services as a book binder, printer.
It is a magnificent book.

After exiting the army, "I returned to Allegheny College and took up my studies with full purpose of completing my course, my wife got a position in city schools, which helped meet expenses; we got a two room apartment house, and both helped in the work and got along fine until my health failed. Before the close of the second term I was prostrated by disease caused by service in the army and for weeks my life was despaired of; and when I finally rallied sufficient, we made a visit to my parents in Delaware; on my return, I intended to re-enter College the Dr. said I must not try again here but might in another climate. My wifes (sic) parents had moved to Iowa and we arranged to go to Cornell College at Mt. Vernon, Iowa."

"We went and I united with the Ga. Conference at Atlanta, Ga. Nov. 1867; and was appointed to Covington and Oxford. I taught at Oxford and my wife at Covington; and I preached at both places."
he goes on to say that their students included both whites and blacks, ages 3 to 45, men and women, including a preacher who was reading "in the first reader . . . . Our lives were threatened several times and several attempts to carry out threats were frustrated. We taught both day and night schools, and though many were men and women but few had learned to read. They all made rapid progress, not because of their superior ability but their application, and the shade of color made no difference." After leading 75 to join the church, "We left to save our lives. I have the notice that was tied on the post in front of our door when we were away, by three men who came at night with revolvers in hand to enforc (sic) their threats; they were not masked or i any way disguised but were among the most respectable members of the community, and prominent members of the M. E. Church South, and were upheld by almost the entire community, including the officers."

My second marriage (March 31st 1913) was after my active work in the Ministry had closed, and we were both in feeble health but concluded we would be able to work with some help, and we tried to keep house with what help we could get on wash days. Mrs. See had a neat Bungalo at Beulah, Colorado; and we lived in it til a year from the next August, but we found we were not able for the work and moved to the Methodist Home, Topeka, Kansas, going to Beulah summers.
