Tolbert McCoy
1854 – 1882
Mary Ann Butcher
1859 –
Grave unmarked
Died after a fall - She was rumored to have been a hunchback child.
Report of the Adjutant General of Kentucky
Frankfort, Ky., February 6, 1888.
and two children of Tolbert McCoy—a boy about seven years old and a little hunchback girl about five—where they remained till the neighbors arrived, about daylight. The heroic girl had her feet badly frost bitten, from which she has not yet recovered, and she could not avoid weeping freely as the old lady detailed to me, in her presence, the horrors of that terrible night. The little boy, too, is worthy of special mention, for when he emerged from the burning dwelling, when it was almost ready to fall, he thought of his little crippled sister, who was still in the house, and he re-entered and again came forth leading her by the hand; nor did he even cry during the whole of the battle.
