Sarah Furlow

Sarah, in her late years lived with John Furlow's family. She was very eccentric, clinging to her pioneer customs and dress in her late years. She told a story of a war experience. She stood on a truck of her valued possessions with a hatchet clutched firmly in her hands and dared the Bushwhackers who came to plunder her home, to take her truck. They left without it. Vesta Furlow still had this old truck at the time of the Furlow Family History. It contained letters, dresses and keepsakes of Civil War days of Sarah Paschel.

The family cherished the memory of trips made by farm wagon up to Winfrey Valley to visit their aunt Sarah and her family, and the delicious meals she prepared for them. Much good food was raised and preserved for future use by sealing in stone jars with hot wax, and by drying and curing meats and fruits.
