for Mr. Tim Walkerte mother Lizzie all d~ for, over close to it. Gibeon, and I was sure a happy woman when I married. that day. Hirn eM me both got our land on our Cherokee fr.ed~an bLood. and. I hare lived to bury ~ husban& aM see two great gran3.child.ren io far.

	I bleu GodS about Abra~iam Lincoln. I remember when my mammy sold. pteture~ of him In Port Smith for a Jew. If he give ~ my freedom I know he is in Heaven now.

	I heard a lot about Jefferson Davis in niy life. Duxing the War we hear the Negroee singing the soldier song about hand. Jeff Davis to a apple tree, and o1d~ Master tell about the tinte we know Jeff Davis. O1d~ ‚aster i~ Jeff DaYt~ waS j~t a ~iragOOn soldier o~it of ?ort GTheei~ wften he bring hia family‘ out here froiD Termeesee, and~ while they was on the road from Port Suiith to where they settled. young Jeff Davia and some more 3.r~oon so1d~iere rid. up and talked to him a long tii~e. ~e say my graMxnaiwny had. a bimdle on her head, and. Jeff Davis isy. “Where you going Aunt~?“ and ehe was tired and mad and. she said, “I &ontt know, to Kell I reckon“, and aU tbe white ao1~tere Iattglie& at her and ~a5e her that auch maMer.

	T ~o1ned the Four Mile Branc~i church in 18i9 and Se~ Soloiion waa a Creek Negro aM the fIrst preaoner t e~‘er heard preach. I~verybo&y ought to be in the church and ready for that better home on the other side.

	All the old. ilaves I know are dead. excepting two, and. I will be going pretty soon I reckon, but I~m glad t lived to see the day the Negroes get the right treatment if they work good. and behave themselves right. They d.ontt have to have no pass to walk abroad no re, and. they can all read. and. write now, but it1 e a tarnation Shaifle some of them go aM read the wrong kind of things anyways.
