Another person that should not be forgotten is a granddaughter of one of America's noted generals, who now fills a pauper's grave in Sevier County. I met her in the last years of the seventies at the county home at Lockesburg, and she recited to me the history of her adventurous life. She told me she was the granddaughter of General Nathaniel Greene of Revolutionary fame, and that she had a brother somewhere in the United States, she did not know where. I think she said his name was George, named for George Washington. She told me where she was born, where she had lived, and how she came to be in Arkansas, and that she was about 90 years old and had never been married, and had lost all trace of her family connections. I have always regretted that I did not make a note of the story of her life, but I did not and her history is lost. At the same time I met her, perhaps in '79, she was in possession of all her mental faculties and was well informed, elequently defending the cause of the Southern States—in fact, I considered her a living encyclopedia of general knowledge. How she came to be in the county home I do not remember. Mr. H. A. Wofford, who was superintending the county home at that time, informs me that he remembers her as a very old lady and that she died in 1880 or 1881, and that is all he can remember of her. I have often thought of her, as I have The Man Without a Country, and thought that his last request would fitly apply to her, and ask if some one will not erect a stone to her memory and say on it: "She loved her country more, but received less from its hands than any other woman." I have wondered if someone, some society or church, the D. A. R's. or the U. D. C's. would not some day take this matter up and rescue her grave from the potter's field and oblivion.

I chanced to be at Guilford court house on Saturday, July 3, 1915. I was at that place where General Greene, the grandfather of this woman, commanded the American forces and fought Lord Cornwallis at the battle of his name in the war for American Independence. There was a large gathering of people there from all parts of the State. Several noted speakers from other States were there and many able, patriotic speeches were made and a fine monument was unveiled to the memory of General Greene, and I thought of the difference that was shown between him and his granddaughter who was then sleeping in a pauper's grave in a distant State, without a friend or relative to drop a tear or flower on her lonely and forsaken grave.
