In this photo taken, Tuesday Jan. 12, 2016, a sterling silver spoon purchased around 1830 by Isaac McCoy for his wife, Christiana, is shown at the Kansas Museum of History in Topeka, Kan. The spoon belonged to one of the Kansas Territory's earliest settlers and was donated to the museum by Allin and Donna Phister and their son, Thorton, all of Leawood. The spoon belonged to one of their ancestors, Christiana McCoy. She was the wife of Baptist missionary Isaac McCoy, who history experts say was an important early settler in Kansas.
