The following is from a reminiscence written by Mrs. J.F. Waddill (FAG #50827202)
Then came the period filled with hardship, fear, danger and suffering—the period of the Civil War. I was then living with my father-in-law, John Waddill, on the farm now owned by Geo. Butler. Each night my father-in-law took his gun and slept away from the house, afraid he would be molested. One morning as we were about our work some of Porter's men came to the house asking for food. We prepared corn cakes as quickly as we could, took them fast enough, as the soldiers came in such great crowds. So famished were they that they went to the smokehouse and ate raw bacon and cabbage—in fact, devoured whatever they could find. Soon they began to leave, as McNeil's men were close upon their trail. The soldiers planted a cannon at the gate and we thought there would be a bloody fight at our very door, but they passed on. This was on the six day of August, the same day of the battle at Kirksville. Soon after the soldiers passed on, a man came running in saying a dead man was not far from the house. We found the man near the home of G.W. Butler, now the old Johnny Waddill place. It was old Mr. Dye, who had been shot by rebel scouts. Mr. Waddill and his neighbors took the body to the Waddill graveyard, where they buried it.
