Lawrence were putting out fires and cleaning up for days, nay, weeks. Charles Robinson went on to serve in the state senate of Kansas for some years. He was also the Superintendent of the Haskell Institute, a school for American Indians. And he was a regent for the University of Kansas. He died in 1894. He and his wife, Sarah, donated property to help create the University of Kansas. Sarah Tappan Doolittle Robinson died in 1911. She was famous for her book called Kansas: Its Interior and Exterior Life. Her estate, valued at $200,000, was bequeathed to the University of Kansas. James Henry Lane was reelected to the office of U.S. Senator in 1865. The following year he committed suicide. William T. Anderson led a raid on Centralia, Missouri, in 1864. His men were able to capture a passenger train, which was the first time Confederate troops had been able to do so. They then committed the Centralia Massacre. Twenty Union troops on the train were killed, and then they were able to ambush and kill about one hundred Union militiamen. Anderson was finally killed by Union troops in 1864. William Quantrill moved his forces to Kentucky, and during a battle with Union troops he was shot in the head. He died days later in 1865. He was buried in an unmarked grave which led later to claims he was buried in three separate places. And it was claimed some years later that he had survived and lived until 1907.
