Poole Funeral Home
FUSSELL, ROAN FLOUNEY/FLONNEY, (white), b. 8-19-1851, Washington Parish, d. 7-6-1931, residence in Franklinton, Fisher Cemetery, farmer, married, h/o JEMINA STAFFORD FUSSELL, s/o JOHNNIE FUSSELL, b. GA

NOTE: Roan and Henry tell this story about an event during the Civil Was. Seven brothers left for war on the same morning in 1861. They were:
John R.,
Calvin C.,
Albert G.,
William L.,
James P.,
Jimmerson P., and
Thomas Jefferson Fussell.

Word was passed that the Union troops were coming. The boys Roan and Henry took the horses way back in the river swamps and hid them. John, Sr. was using a pair of oxen in a field in front of the Washington Parish home. The soldiers took the oxen and drove them off. The officers made Lucinde go down the hill to the spring and fetch water for their horses. One soldier came around the house looking for food. There was a bucket of peanuts on the porch. He poured out the peanuts, and took the bucket, not knowing that peanuts were eatable.
