McKissick was 'xamrned and the date of death.there ecorded was taken and Zdpha'3 seven rears added. He gave a bit of her hisory that will no doubt be read .with in- : rerest by tne Times readers. It is as 'ollows: Zilpha Cook belonged to Mrs. Polly Jook at the time of the emancipation of .he slaves. She was born and reared on < the plantation of Mrs. Stribiing who ived four miles northeast ol Union. ] Mrs. Nancv Stribiing was a daughter of Pattern Birdstrong, at that time Sheriff , >f Union county. Upon the site where low stands the jail there stood at that ime a prison built of brick. While a i'oung girl she was given to her young nistress, Nancy Stribiing, daughter of Mrs. Nancy Stribiing. Miss Nancy marled a Mr. Wix iu York county, S. C. \t that time Zilpha Cook was 12 or 13 .ears of age. This was before the town >f Union was built.

At this time Zilpha was the mother of two children. Her next employer wsis Mr. John Cage, grandfather of our fellow townsman, Jno. P. Gage.

After it was ovei the lady said: 'It certainly does look like they knew lomethiug about the storm, and I am so 1 glad I had the good sense to hoed the warning and have the cattle brought ^ uir."
