Old Settlers Meeting 29 Sep 1875
History of Washington County, Indiana 1884
Cadwallader Jones the next speaker said, "I was born in North Carolina the 29th of October 1791, and will soon be eighty-four years old. I was always afraid of Indians. They never looked good to me. Many a night have I laid awake, listening for the red beggars to make a raid on the house, getting up occasionally when some little noise was heard outside and peering around as best I could to see if any of them were trying to slip in upon us unawares. About the first thing we learned to do in those early days was to work up flax, while the girls were taught to spin and weave. Much of our clothing was made of flax and tow. "People had very little use for doctors then. Most every housewife had laid by a collection of roots and herbs and when any of us were ailing they knew just what kind of tea to make or poultice to apply. Old Doctor Lamb couldn't half way make a living practicing medicine, so he started the first store in the county at Royse's Lick, but his stock of dry goods was not very extensive. I could have carried it all at one armful". Question: "Didn't they churn in Bottles? If we had anything in bottles it was better than cream. I have manufactured many gallons of whiskey. I knew how to make it and how to drink it. It wasn't poison then as it is now."
