*Taken from the Aaron Gose family history, Aaron's wife Nancy remembered that "no fighting was done right around the area, but soldiers were passing around." The horses were sent to Copper Ridge for safe keeping. One wounded soldier from Kentucky was housed in the Gose house, and Nancy often baked blackberry cobbler pies in an oven at the fireplace for the soldiers as they passed in and out.
*Taken from her obituary in 1914 T.K. Bickley of Rockwall, TX, stated this of his Aunt Nancy: "In her sixteenth year she joined the M.E. Church and made a profession of religion sometime during the following. She was a very active, industrious woman, always busy, full of duty from early morn to bedtime, and as I remember cheerful and nearly always singing or humming; always ready with heart or hand for every good word or work, because she was a very religious woman upon any and all occasions, whether it was one of cheerfulness or sadness, there was about her every presence of the religion which she professed. It seemed never to forsake her not as intruding itself, not as a glum melancholy, but a cheerful living, sustaining willingness and readiness at all times and under all circumstances to obey, follow or defend the faith was in her. Those were the days when traveling Methodist preachers were abroad in the land, preaching a living, burning faith which once kindled upon her heart, never went out, but kept lighted up the whole pathway of her life shining brighter unto the end."
