Person Notes: From Hilda Krehbiel: "Indian people would come from time to time to camp nearby on Devil Creek & would jokingly offer to trade one of their papooses for Magnolia."
From May Crow:" It was considered daring for Magnolia to marry and go to live "Cross creek" on the Griswold farm, as Devil Creek was fairly daunting until late summer and not easily crossed.[Griswold.FTW]
