The 1878 Wichita City Directory lists the following:

Breyfogle, J. D., painter, from Delaware County, Ohio, Residence Lawrence, between 1st and 2nd

Further searches of the 1877, 1881, and 1883 directories did not find Joshua and family residing in or near Wichita. His daughter Alice died in Kansas as well as his daughter Jessie and son Arthur were born in Kansas so it is not known if he was missed in the later directories or if he moved outside the city.
