When the Yankees came through, Grandmother Ann Graham Thomas told them she would make breakfast if they would have her to. She thought they would pay her. Instead. they grabbed up the table cloth with food, dishes and silver and left. Ann never forgave them and bitter feelings over it. I remember Kettie speaking of this.
