I have the information about Claflin, KS.First of all, my son, Mike Claflin married a lady from Claflin.As for the information, I will copy information from a newspaper but the name was from the wife's maiden name of a surveyor who was working for the railroad.There is also a "Claflin Road" here in Manhattan, KS which is from Lee Claflin who donated money to Bluemont College, the predecessor of Kansas State University. I am also a native of Wakita, OK.My Greatgrandfather, Giles Claflin (McClaflin) homesteaded a place in 1893.My grandfather, Jeptha, built the house used in the opening scene of "Twister".My father's name was Avery and he passed away in 1976.
Are you a relative of Elmer McClaflin from Medford?Would enjoy hearing from you.Larry
