The Dalton Brothers Gang livedclosed by, and one day they came to her house while being chased by aposse asked if they could hide in their barn. Her mother Mary FrancesPender Pore told them no, and they left and escaped in a field near by.Also they when they got tired of eating cornbread, my grandfather AlbertMott had a grist mill he used to ground maize to make some bread . Itmade a soft tasty bread to eat instead of the cornbread. Since whiteflour was too expensive to make bread all the time.
