| Notes |
- There is evidence that Christopher Bishir ran for Congressman at Large in Kansas on the Socialist ticket in 1904 (but was not elected). (Kansas: A Cyclopedia of State History, by Frank Wilson Blackmar, Chicago, 1912, p. 128)
From “History of Reno County, Kansas” by Sheridan Ploughe:
“In the election of 1886, T. T. Taylor had but little opposition in the election. His opponent was C. Bishir. Bishir was a peculiar man, honest, but very narrow and very selfish. He was a Greenbacker and opposed bonds of any and all kinds, opposing the issuing of bonds for any purpose. In this election, Taylor made no campaign and the universal dislike of Bishir made it evident that the latter would receive but few votes. The result of this election justified the lack of effort on Taylor's part, as he received 1,009 votes and Bishir, 84.”

Is this our Christopher? I think he is the one that didn't make it home for the funeral of the Elder Jeremiah, but no proof.
