When Mrs. Davis wanted him to come to the houseto eat she would blow a an old cow's horn. He would then take back grainfor the horses. The Confederate Officers who camped in her home toldher that they would not bother her, but that she had better go to herpeople, so she got the woman who was helping her to ride one of thehorses and she rode the other, bringing the two small children and allthe belongings that they could carry on the horses about a distance of66 miles and came to her parents on White Oak Creek.
