>From HARRIS 1929, by M.K. Harris, page 41:
"She [author's grandmother] was a quiet and sensible, kind hearted Christian woman, her time and
energies fully occupied looking after her household and the welfare of the numerous colored
women and children on the place, doing deeds of charity in the neighborhood and loved and
respected by all who knew her. At the time my grandmothers were married it was the custom for
a bride to don a lace cap the day after she was married and to wear one for the rest of her life.
Both of my grandmothers conformed to this custom." Page 43: The(ir) residence was a long
two-story house on a bluff overlooking a small creek, the Pe-De, a short distance above its
confluence with West Station Camp Creek. On the opposite side of the creek on a bluff above the
Station Camp resided Josiah WALTON, a brother of my grandmother"
