UNION MEN CONTROL THE CITY - A new governor, Hamilton Gamble, took office. Governor Claiborne Jackson had gone into hiding, using several places as a refuge..... The farmhouse in which Governor Jackson hid was on the road to West Ely.... they were warned that federal troops were going to attempt to take them by surprise. Governor Jackson and his party took flight and safely escaped. Dr. Charles Lamb was there spending the day with them, and did not have a chance to flee. He knew he would have to hide from the soldiers. Knowing that the premises would be thoroughly searched, houses, barns, sheds, and all, he had to make a quick decision. A nearby orchard had a ground cover of asparagus and it was in its tallest stage of stage of growth and was thick with its ferns. He decided that was his best chance. He lay flat in the asparagus bed. Fortunately, the Union men, in their noisy but thorough search, did not find him. He lay there until the darkness of night. Knowing that the house was still under surveillance, he excaped to the home of a neighbor and found transportation to Hannibal. This story, when it was told in 1901, stated that the asparagus still grew tall on the old Rowe farm in the orchard, and along the fence rows, and served as a reminder of Lamb's adventure during the Civil War.
