Dedication
This book is dedicated to everyone who has ever used a mobile phone and found
it too limited, too confusing, and ultimately too frustrating. Welcome to the world
of the iPhone, which acts as a mobile phone and handheld computer capable of
playing games, browsing the Internet, playing music and video, retrieving and
sending email, and much more, while being easy to use at the same time. You’ll
find that your iPhone is one of the most sophisticated handheld computers on the
market today. With a little guidance from this book, you’ll be able to master all the
features crammed and buried in your iPhone. Get ready for a mobile phone expe-
rience that you’ll never receive from any other phone. The iPhone is in a class by
itself, and you’re about to find out how to make it uniquely your own.

Acknowledgments
This book owes its life to Bill Pollock, the publisher at No Starch Press, who pretty
much lets me write anything I want, as long as he thinks there’s a market for it.
Thanks also go to Kathleen Mish, Riley Hoffman, and Tyler Ortman for keeping this
entire project together and making sure everything in the book made sense and
really worked.
Additional thanks also go to Jack Dunning at ComputorEdge Online (http://
webserver.computoredge.com/online.mvc) for giving me a weekly Macintosh col-
umn, where I can write about Macintosh computers, iPhones, and anything else
related to Apple and personal computers. Thanks also goes to Monish Bhatia for
giving me a chance to write Macintosh hardware and software reviews for MacNN
(http://www.macnn.com/), one of the best little websites for tracking the latest
Apple news and rumors.
I’d also like to thank all the people I’ve met during my 18-year career as
a stand-up comedian: Steve Schirripa (who appeared on HBO’s hit show The
Sopranos) and Don Learned for giving me my first break performing in Las Vegas
at the Riviera Hotel & Casino, Russ Rivas, Dobie “The Uranus King” Maxwell,
Darrell Joyce, and Leo “The Man, the Myth, the Legend” Fontaine.
I’d also like to thank my radio comedy co-hosts on CyberSports Today (http://
www.cybersportstoday.com/), which airs on ESPN Radio (800 AM) in San Diego:
Dane Henderson and Alexia Lunaria. Dane and I are refugees from 103.7 FreeFM,
where we ran a show focusing on the unusual and supernatural. This let us chat
with folks who believed they were in contact with space aliens, as well as a tugboat
museum captain and a group of paramilitary, die-hard nationalists. We may not
have always known what we were doing, but every night was a complete blast until
the station switched to an all-music format and kicked us off the air.
Finally, I’d like to acknowledge my wife, Cassandra, my son, Jordan, and my
three cats, Bo, Scraps, and Nuit, for putting up with all my time spent sitting in
front of the computer instead of doing anything else, like cleaning the house or
putting books back where they belong.

 458 HISTORY OF LEAVENWORTH COUNTY civic affairs,
always alert and boosting every move made for the benefit of the
city and county. He is a member of the Rotary Club, and is the
president for 1920 and 1921. He is a Knights Templar and Shriner.
February 4, 1913, Mr. Phelps was married to Thekla Wulfekuhler, a
daughter of Otto H. and Marie T. Wulfekuhler. She is a native of
Leavenworth, and a graduate of the Leavenworth High School and
the University of Wisconsin. Mr. and Mrs. Phelps have two children:
Edwin Rice, Jr., and Donald Otto. Jasper S. Rice, a pioneer of this
city, was grandfather of E. Rice Phelps. He came to Fort
Leavenworth, Kansas in 1853 from Vermont. Ethan Allen, the famous
Revolutionary soldier was a great uncle of Mr. Phelps. Jasper Rice
came to Fort Leavenworth in government service and was in charge
of the Pony Express from Omaha to Salt Lake City. He and Colonel
William F. Cody operated this line until the Union Pacific Railroad was
built, and then Mr. Rice and Fred Harvey started the Harvey eating
houses, now famous all over the United States. The first one was
started at Wallace, Kansas on the Union Pacific road, and the firm
dissolved, Harvey going with the Santa Fe, and Rice, in 1862 began
operating the Planters Hotel, and had the honor of having at one
time, Abraham Lincoln as a guest in the hotel. The Wulfekuhler State
Bank was organized in 1901 with the following officers: H. W.
Wulfekuhler, president; A. F. Wulfekuhler, vice-president ; Otto
Wulfekuhler, cashier ; and L. H. Wulf ekhuler, assistant cashier. The
capital stock was $50,000, and June, 1909, the capital stock was
increased to $150,000. H. W. Wulfekuhler died August 29, 1903, and
Otto H. Wulfekuhler was elected president and E. Rice Phelps was
elected cashier June 1, 1915. The present officers are : Otto H.
Wulfekuhler, president; E. Rice Phelps, vice-president and cashier; L.
R. Rutherford, L. A. Miller and Fred A. Walter, assistant cashiers. The
present capital stock is $150,000, surplus funds $35,000, and
deposits $1,500,000.00. The bank is a conservatively conducted
banking institution and the officers and directors are all substantial
men, whose integrity and capabilities are well known to the
Leavenworth public. The bank's deposits of $213,000 six months
after its organization to more than $1,500,000.00 at the present
time, show conclusively that the policy of mutual helpfulness which
the bank practices has been a paying one.
 HISTORY OF LEAVENWORTH COUNTY 459 Morries Toffler,
one of Leavenworth's prosperous business men, who established a
men's clothing store here in 1885, is a native of Hungary, and, after
coming to America, located in New York and remained there five
years, then coming to Leavenworth where he opened up a line of
men's clothing at the corner of Sixth and Cherokee streets. He was
at this location for ten years, moving in 1911 to 512 Cherokee street,
his present place of business. Morries Toffler, and his son, Abraham,
who is now a partner, carry a complete line of clothing and shoes.
The goods are nicely kept, neatly displayed and the customers fairly
treated. Mr. Toffler says that his business has improved from the
start, each year better than the previous year. Mr. Toffler was
married in 1879 to Mary Friedman of Hungary, a daughter of Marcus
and Ruth Friedman. Mr. and Mrs. Toffler have six children: Mrs.
Jennie Goldberg of Kansas City, Missouri; Abraham, a partner in the
store with his father, and who is a member of the Benevolent and
Protective Order of Elks, and of the Ancient Free and Accepted
Masons ; Minnie, who lives at home ; Max, who works in his father's
store and who is also a member of the Masons and Elks ; and Ruth
and Dorothy who live at home with their parents. Mr. Toffler was
elected a member of the school board in 1910; reelected once for
two years, and twice for four years, serving in this capacity for a
period of ten years. He resigned in December, 1920. Mr. Toffler is a
member of the Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, Shriner, Scottish
Rites ; Woodmen of the World, Modern Woodmen of America and of
the Ancient Order of United Workmen. The family reside at 414
Walnut street, and are among the city's most respected citizens.
William H. Unmessig, the progressive and enterprising proprietor of
Oak Ridge Farm in High Prairie Township, was born in Platte County,
Missouri, October 11, 1879, the son of R. and Rosalie Myers
Unmessig; a further sketch of his father and mother appears in
connection with A. A. Unmessig of this volume. Wm. H. Unmessig
received his education at Beverly, Missouri, and followed farming in
Platte County, Missouri, coming to Leavenworth County, Kansas with
his parents in 1901. He went to Texas in 1909, and
 460 HISTORY OF LEAVENWORTH COUNTY with his brother
A. A. Unmessig bought a farm of 196 acres and made potato raising
a specialty. In 1912 they raised forty-two car loads of the Bliss
Triumph variety of potatoes. They sold their farm at Simonton, Texas
in 1918 and returned to Leavenworth County. In May, 1920, Mr.
Unmessig bought his present farm of 244 acres, which is located
one-half mile west of the city limits of Leavenworth. He purchased
this from the DeCoursey heirs. Mr. DeCoursey, the former owner ran
a dairy here. The land is on the high ridge west of the city, and this
farm, under the care of Mr. Unmessig, will soon be one of the choice
farm homes of the township as Mr. Unmessig is making many
needed improvements. The farm has an available supply of running
water. Mr. Unmessig has a three-acre orchard of peaches, eight-year-
old trees of Elberta and Crawford variety, also a few cherry, plum
and apple trees. He does general farming and has seventy acres of
wheat, eight acres of alfalfa, twenty acres of oats and fifteen acres
of corn. The remainder of the land is timber and pasture. April 29,
1909 Mr. Unmessig was married to Nellie Van Tuyl, who was a
teacher in the Leavenworth schools. She is a graduate of the
Leavenworth High School and attended Kansas University for one
summer. Mrs. Unmessig's parents are C. J. and Lulu (Snyder) Van
Tuyl of Preble County, Ohio. They came to Kansas about the year
1886 and settled at Leavenworth. C. J. Van Tuyl lives in Leavenworth
at the present. His wife died in 1889 and is buried at Mt. Muncie
Cemetery. They were the parents of the following children: Mrs.
Nellie Unmessig; Blanche, at home ; Earl of Los Angeles, California,
and Margaret, a teacher in Leavenworth. Mr. and Mrs. Unmessig
have two children: Rhinehart and Thekla. J. H. Mayer, the well
known proprietor of West Spruce Fruit Farm is a native of Kansas,
bom at Easton, Kansas, July 24, 1884, the son of C. C. and Hattie
(Gale) Mayer; C. C. Mayer lives in Leavenworth, and his wife is
deceased and is buried at Mt. Olivet Cemetery. They were the
parents of the following children : J. H. Mayer of this sketch ; Carl, a
railroad man of Kansas City, Missouri; Clarence of Leavenworth,
Kansas. By a second marriage of C. C. Mayer to Mrs. Christena
Evans, he has a daughter, Grace, and a stepson, A. E. Evans. J. H.
Mayer was educated at District Number Eleven and Junction
 HISTORY OF LEAVENWORTH COUNTY 461 schools, and,
after finishing his education, he farmed with his father, and they
conducted a nursery for a few years, putting out an orchard of
thirty-five acres. J. H. Mayer received in early life a practical
knowledge of farming and of the nursery business. C. C. Mayer and
his children sold out in Easton, Kansas in 1905, coming to High
Prairie Township, where they purchased a 120-acre farm six miles
southwest of Leavenworth. J. H. Mayer, in 1912, settled on his
present farm of forty acres, which adjoins the city limits of
Leavenworth on the west. Mr. Mayer has added many improvements
to the place and put out a lot of fruit trees. He has one acre in pears
of the Kiefer variety, which have produced as high as a car load a
season. He has eight acres in young orchard and will soon have
twenty additional acres in orchard, as he continues to put out more
each season. He also has seven acres in alfalfa and more than three
acres in strawberries, which he intends to increase to more acreage
and add raspberries. He also has a nice cherry orchard, of the early
Richmond and Mount Morencia varieties. West Spruce Fruit Farm
was formerly a truck farm, and, owing to it's southern slope is
protected by the hills and produces the earliest crops of berries of
any farm in the vicinity. Mr. Mayer delivers entirely by truck. He
employs as high as from thirty to forty pickers during berry season.
Mr. Mayer was married October 8, 1911 to Emma Burre of High
Prairie Township, a daughter of John and Catherine Burre. The farm
on which Mr. and Mrs. Mayer live was the home of Mrs. Mayer prior
to her marriage. She was born on this place and educated at the
Lutheran school in Leavenworth. Mr. and Mrs. Mayer have three
children: Lenora, Helen Marie and Luella. They are residing at home.
Mr. Mayer is a member of the County Farm Bureau and of the
Leavenworth Fruit and Truck Growers' Association. Mr. Mayer is
thoroughly qualified for the nursery business and has made a
success of this line of work. He is well known throughout the
township and county. Walter C. Smith, a well known farmer and
stockman of High Prairie Township, is from a pioneer family of
Leavenworth, Kansas. He was born in Leavenworth in 1889, the son
of Leonard and Millie (Theel) Smith. Leonard Smith came to
Leavenworth, Kansas from Sheffield, England, his birthplace, when a
young man. He was a stove molder by trade, working for the Great
Western Stove Company for twenty-eight years.
 462 HISTORY OF LEAVENWORTH COUNTY His wife was a
native of Germany, and came to Leavenworth when a child with her
parents, Fred Theel and wife. Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Smith were the
parents of two children: Harry of Boling, Kansas and Walter C, the
subject of this sketch. Walter Smith received a good education in the
ward and high schools of Leavenworth and Leavenworth Business
College of this city. After leaving school, he worked for three years
for the Fisher Machine Works, and has been engaged in farming for
the past thirteen years. He moved to his present farm of 160 acres
in January 2, 1909. He rented the place at first and bought eighty
acres from his mother, and rents eighty acres of the Wilson place.
The farm is well watered and has fair improvements. Mr. Smith has
proved to be a successful farmer and stockman. He raises Duroc
Jersey pure bred hogs, grade cattle, Rhode Island Red chickens, and
does general farming. February 12, 1912, Mr. Smith married Zoe
Wilson, a daughter of Thomas K. Wilson, a sketch of whom appears
in this volume. Mrs. Smith was born near Boling, Kansas, and
educated at the High Prairie school. Mr. and Mrs. Smith have two
children: Walter and Harold. Mr. Smith is a member of the Modern
Woodmen of America at Leavenworth. C. V. Campbell, a prominent
farmer of High Prairie Township, was born in Anderson County,
Kansas December 30, 1867, the son of John B. and Melissa (Smith)
Campbell. John Campbell was a native of Scotland, but came to
America alone at the early age of fifteen years, and located first in
New York at Syracuse, coming to Lawrence, Kansas in 1854, and, in
1856, with others, helped lay the town of Hiatt in Anderson County,
Kansas. Garnett, being a rival town, Hiatt became defunct a few
years after. In 1857, Mr. Campbell preempted a claim of 160 acres,
five miles from Garnett, where C. V. Campbell, the subject of this
sketch, was born and reared. John Campbell took an active part in
the early free state fight, and enlisted in the Union Army in the 11th
Kansas, when the war broke out and served during the entire war.
He also served awhile on the plains in Indian wars. Prior to the Civil
War Mr. Campbell lived at Ossawatomie, Kansas and was identified
with John Brown in the Free State struggles. Thirteen years before
his death, he retired and lived in Garnett. His wife died about the
year 1870.
 HISTORY OF LEAVENWORTH COUNTY 463 Mr. and Mrs.
John Campbell had the following children: George of Colorado
Springs, Colorado; C. V., and, by a later marriage to Ruth Hopkins,
four children were born; E. R. of New Mexico; Mrs. Jennie Sweeney
of Butte, Montana ; Frank, on the home place and W. T. Campbell of
Kincaid, Kansas. C. V. Campbell was educated in the public schools
of Anderson County, Kansas and has been engaged in farming and
stock raising all of his life. He first owned and improved a farm near
his father's farm in Anderson County, Kansas, and then was in the
west for a few years. He came to Leavenworth County, Kansas in
1908 and rented land here for a few years, and, in 1909 moved to
his present place. He later bought a part of the Gist farm in this
township and sold it four years afterward. He bought his present
farm of 320 acres in 1916, the farm being known as the Kitchen
farm, but later as the 0. G. Ballard farm, and is located on the
LeCompton road, five miles from Leavenworth, Kansas. Mr. Campbell
has been successful, due to his industry, good management, and
ability. Mr. Campbell was married the first time to Annie Farmer of
Garnett, Kansas, December 24, 1889. She was a daughter of H. G.
and Mary Farmer of Platte City, Missouri. She died in 1904. They had
the following children: Ray, of Platte County, Missouri; and Mary, the
wife of Elmer Skinner of Camden Point, Missouri. In 1912 Mr.
Campbell married his present wife, Julia Nower, a daughter of
Samuel Nower. She was reared in High Prairie Township, but is a
native of Platte County Missouri. Her father was a prominent farmer
of High Prairie Township. No children were born to Mr. Campbell's
last union. Mr. and Mrs. Campbell receive their mail on Route One
out of Leavenworth, Kansas. Frank Beuckemann, a sterling citizen of
Alexandria Township, and proprietor of Plantation Farm, which is
located nine miles southwest of Leavenworth on the LeCompton
road, was born in St. Louis, Missouri, August 14, 1854, the son of
Frederick and Minnie Beuckemann. Mr. and Mrs. Frederick
Beuckemann were natives of Germany, the former was born July 3,
1810 and the latter September 3, 1821. They came to Lawrence in
1864 where they lived for one year, when they settled on the farm
where Frank Beuckemann now lives. When they moved to this place,
there were but two or three houses between their home and
Leavenworth. A cabin stood where the residence is now located, but
 464 HISTORY OF LEAVENWORTH COUNTY has been moved
and is now used as a stable. Frederick Beuckemann died January 21,
1878 and his wife died March 18, 1904 at the age of eighty-two
years. Both are buried at Bethel Cemetery. Frank Beuckeman now
owns 130 acres of upland land. He has a well improved place and
does general farming. In 1907 he built his present home, a one and
one-half story dwelling. From this residence, on a clear day, can be
seen the city of McLouth, which is seventeen miles southwest of his
home. They also have a fine view of Stranger Creek Valley. Mr.
Beuckemann was married April 20, 1896 to Mary Wohlfarth, a
daughter of Lorenz and Margaret Wohlfarth of Alexandria Township,
who settled there in 1881. Lorenz Wohlfarth died in March, 1919 at
the age of seventy-nine years and his wife died August 30, 1908.
Both are buried at Bethel Cemetery. The children of Mr. and Mrs.
