Exerpt from Personal History written by Glenroie McQueen,
son of Cynthia Dennis and Thomas McQueen.

"I have a vivid recollection of the comet of 1861, and of standing by the well curb where we drew the water for family use, and of hearing the grown ups talking of how the comet portended the breaking out of the war between the North and the South.

One of my Uncles, Ezra Williams, husband of my mother's oldest sister, and father of nine dependent children, was among the first to volunteer for service in the Northern army. Ezra was soon killed in battle, or died from sickness, or was among the missing. At any rate he never came back, nor was he ever heard from. Ezra's oldest son, Robert, likewise volunteered. Rob was under eighteen, too young for the service, but as heard explained, he wrote "18" on a piece of paper which he placed in the bottom of his shoe, and so swore he was over "18"."
