Both sides were cruel during the Civil War. Mrs. McDaniel who lives here
tells a story of how her father was killed in Clay County, while eating
dinner one day. Some federal soldiers drove up and asked what side he
was on and upon saying the confederate side, they took him outside and
shot him with a gun in his own yard.



Jenny McKee:


Mrs. Jenny McKee, of color, who lives just North of London can tell many
interesting things of her life.

"Aunt Jenny" as she is called, is about eighty-five years of age, and
says she thinks she is older than that as she can remember many things

received when she was pushed by one of the other little slaves, upon a
marble mantle place and received a deep wound in her head.

shacks and play with pieces of string, not knowing what else to do to
