In their best years they kept open house to the country-side for they had an immense gang of their own, and many relatives and friends of youth around them.
She came into Gonzales county in 1849 from Mississippi, when she was three years old, and has resided somewhere in that region ever since.

Denmark of Nixon, and her self, of course.
