Corinth Ny brother John was a Confederate
soldier, as were his brothers. but my brother-in-
law Mr. Parham, was a stanch Union man. My
sister thought a great deal of John. however
and after he badly wounded insisted on
his being brought to her home. General Sher-
mans army was In The neighborhood. and one
day my brother law invited the general and
his staff TO dinner. General Sherman had been
IN the house only short time before he said,

After dinner. just as General Sherman was
ready to leave the house. he stepped to the
bedroom door, and. looking at the wounded Con-

same as 1t was, with the exception of
a large terrace that Is to be built out
