George Henry Walser LTC
Founder of the Town of Liberal, MO (1880), Civil War officer, published author/poet, lawyer, philanthropist. After the Civil War, he went to Barton County, where he was quickly recognized as one of the best lawyers in southwest Missouri. He was elected prosecuting attorney there, and became a member of the 25th assembly. He purchased 2,000 acres of land outside of Lamar, MO, and as an openly admitted atheist, funded and founded the Town of Liberal; a town created as a home for infidels, a place that once advertised itself as a town without a 'church, saloon, God or hell'. Beginning in 1880, hundreds of people moved there, but, by 1910, when he died, the experiment in creating a town for non-believers had failed. Today, Liberal has seven churches, a tavern on its outskirts, and history unlike any other town in America.

I'm a Founder of AncientFaces and support the community answering questions & helping members make connections to the past (thus my official title of Founder & Content and Community Support ). For me, it's been a labor of love for over 20 years. I truly believe with all of my heart that everyone should be remembered for generations to come. I am 2nd generation San Jose and have seen a lot of changes in the area while growing up. We used to be known as the "Valley of Heart's Delight" (because the Valley was covered with orchards and there were many canneries to process the food grown here, which shipped all over the US) - now we have adopted the nickname "Capital of Silicon Valley" and Apple, Ebay, Adobe, Netflix, Facebook, and many more tech companies are within a few miles of my current home in San Jose (including AncientFaces). From a small town of 25,000, we have grown to 1 million plus. And when you add in all of the communities surrounding us (for instance, Saratoga, where I attended high school, living a block from our previous Mayor), we are truly one of the big cities in the US. I am so very proud of my hometown. For more information see Kathy - Founder & Content and Community Director
My family began AncientFaces because we believe that unique photos and stories that show who people are/were should be shared with the world.
