Silver spoon links Phister family to McCoy Kansas history
A sterling silver spoon dating to around 1830, once owned by Christiana McCoy, wife of Isaac McCoy, was donated Tuesday to the Kansas Museum of History in Topeka. The artifact, etched with CM initials, joins a McCoy pocket watch in a glass display. The donation came after Allin and Donna Phister and their son Thornton of Leawood presented the piece, highlighting the McCoys as early Kansas settlers and advocates for Native rights and education.
