As printed in the Minden Press Herald
William H. Wilson was close friends to my Logans.  The following is what
Aunt Alverlene has told me.  William H. Wilson married Rosanna Waits's
sister (she could not remember her name) William H. and she had one son
that died at the age of 12 years and then Rosanna's sister died (the
spellings are a little off but I think we can understand that).  When she
died Rosanna married William H. Wilson.  And the story goes that
William's arm was shot off during the Civil War.  John Henry Logan had
his leg shot off in a hunting accident and the two would get together to
come up with new items to help them with their handicaps.  John Henry and
William H. invented a knife and fork combo for William to use as a
eating utensil.  The blade on the knife was in the shape of a u and the
fork was on the end and the handle was made out of bone.  I know this to
be true because Aunt Alverlene gave the knife and fork combo to my
brother which he stills has.  Pretty neat uh ?. Rhonda. Rhonda Rogers

Tuscaloosa, AL.  Katherine was born 22 June 1871 in Near Tuscaloosa,
Alabama.  She died 25 July 1956 in Heflin, La.
BIOGRAPHY:  According to Percy Morrow she had only one eye.
BIOGRAPHY: (John Logan)  According to Percy Morrow, he had a wooden
"peg" leg.  he thinks the story is he lost it in a hunting accident in
Arkansas.
The story on the wooden "peg" leg was told to me also, by his daughter,
Alverlene. On the census I got at Shrev. Library, her name was listed as
Kate.
Everyone in the family called her Kate of Katie. Aunt Alverlene talks
about Lizzie in the diary.  Aunt Alverlene never went to school and was
home taught to read and write.  She has misspelled some of the names so
his information will help me with the correct spelling of the names in
the diary. Rhonda
