    Elizabeth Jane BOWDRY

    According to her son, Mary Elizabeth "Jane" Bowdry was only four feet 10 inches
    tall. She however was a very forceful person. She loved to entertain and was
    a perfectionist when it came to baking. He said that she would sift her flour
    through a silk cloth. If the cake was not perfect, she would give it to him
    and his companion who was a Negro slave the same age he was. He said that he
    (Gus) and Jim would hide and wait for about 20 minutes after she put one in
    the oven and then slam the kitchen door real hard to make it fall.
    According to Gus, during the civil war, the Union soldiers took all of their
    horses and cattle. Jane accepted this as an act of war, but one day she went
    to her Mothers to can jelly. The worked too late and when it came time for
    her to go home her father (it could not have been her father since he had been
    dead for a number of years--it was probably a brother who was a doctor) who
    had been allowed to keep his horse since he was the local doctor, insisted
    that she take his horse. She promised to return it at dawn. At dawn, she
    went to saddle the horse only to find that the Union soldiers had taken it
    during the night. She put on her bonnet and walked to the Union camp and
    demanded to see the General. She told him she wanted the horse returned
    immediately. She had borrowed it and had promised to return it and return it
    she would. The General ordered the horse returned.
