Dewey Gunzelman Memorial Pool

Dewey Gunzelman lived on Seneca just north of the big ditch on the west side. Before Haysville had a public swimming pool he would allow area kids to swim in his private pool. I believe this would have been in the late 50s/early 60s. The house is still there but the pool has been filled in.

Haysville’s current swimming pool is named in his honor and is located at 525 Sarah Ln in Haysville, KS.
