I met many of the old Pea ridgers, the Pages, Gallmans, Palmers Almans, Frees, Fowlers, Gaults, Hai rises, Hameses, Cromers, Garners Millwoods, Hodges, Harmons, Kellys Aycocks and others. Except the mi! people take out the Ridgers the tow and community would be thinly set tied. That's good for Pea Ri'dgers They are good people, busy at thei professions and occupations?doctors bankers, professors, merchants, farm ers, mechanic, etc. Many of us 5 years ago did not want to be calle Pea Ridge. Ask a man where h lived. Although he lived on the Ridg he would say Brown's Creek, Jones ville, Broad River, Pacolet, etc. Onl a few would own native home. Stev en Fowler, I. G. McKissick and som others always owned to their birth place. When Bones Vinson and I en listed in the Civil war at Columbi; Lieut. Fair Bates asked where we wer from. We told him Pea Ridge. II always called us Pea Ridgers. After the speaking at Jonesville tvent to the home of my old brothe comrade, Simpson Long, another Pes Ridger, and spent the night with th< family.
