Greetings to all members of the Logan Family!
I am Randal J. Loy, and for the past four years, I have been researching the histories of the memorial gifts, including the 18 stained glass windows, in the Nave of the Cathedral Church of the Episcopal Diocese of West Missouri, Grace and Holy Trinity Cathedral, located in Kansas City, Missouri.
One of our last windows, one of a set of three designed by the important Boston stained glass artist Charles J. Connick (1875-1945), is a memorial to Dr. William George Logan, born November 24, 1831, in Stanford, Kentucky, died April 26, 1920, in Kansas City, Missouri; and his wife, Mildred Tapp Arnold, born May 19, 1834, in Jessamine, Kentucky, died January 6, 1922, in Kansas City, Missouri. The window was donated by their daughter, Frances Mariah Logan, born March 6, 1855, in Lexington, Kentucky, died January 26, 1946, in Kansas City, Missouri.
While neither William George Logan nor Mildred Tapp Arnold were ever Episcopalians or members of the Cathedral Parish, Frances was a devoted member, and wished to remember her parents in that manner. Frances was a recognized art expert and had an impressive private collection of both prints and paintings. The design of the window is broadly based on an important Rembrandt print. But she never married and had no children.
She did have one sister and one brother, and it is their descendants I seek, because I would like to have photographs of Dr. Logan, Mildred Tapp Arnold Logan, and Frances Mariah Logan to illustrate the chapter on the Logan stained glass window.
The sister was Mary Lena Logan (1858-1931). She married a man named Charles Means (1857-1920), and they lived in Chicago, Illinois, for a time, at least.
The brother was Dr. James Elmore Logan (1862-1928). He married Helen Richards (1862-1949).
If you can provide me with scanned photographs of the Logans for use in the upcoming not-for-profit book, I would greatly appreciate your assistance. Please feel free to contact me directly at RandalJLoy@gmail.com if you can assist me in this regard.
Thank you most kindly!
