The brick home of the Nelsons was near Saloma, and Nelson was away. His wife and children locked themselves in the front part of the house, but left the kitchen open. Everything edible was taken from the pantry, including all the cornbread and even a pig-tail left from killing hogs. Had the Southerners not been in such a hurry, they might have found fine mounts in the woods and a coin-silver pitcher that John Nelson was awarded at the Kentucky Society of Agriculture Fair. In 1859, Nelson placed his tobacco on a flatboat at Gleanings and floated it to the contest in Louisville. There, he was judged to have the second best hogshead of tobacco in the state. He walked back from Louisville with the pitcher awarded him in his hand.
