He was twice married and ha.e twelve
children by each wife, six boys ana
six girls in each lot and each wife had
one pair Of twins.
Mrs. Baltimore still takes a great
deal Of interest in life. Her memory

years ago, but she can still tell of many
happenings Of her childhood of horse

commander that he was saving his men
from a terrible fate. The tnsurrectOs cut
off the water supply early in the fight
