Elizabeth Walker Fee
March 7, 1840 - December 7, 1915
~*~
Daughter of Jacob and Mary Alvira (Snodgrass) Walker.
Married Daniel Fee, February 28, 1858 near Deer Ridge, Lewis County, Mo.
Uncle Homer Fee told a story about in 1915, Grandma Elizabeth Fee while sitting in her rocking chair, told the four Fee brothers of an incident which occurred during the Civil War.
Early one morning she looked out and in rode forty or more men in gray and they tethered their horses to the fence. They dismounted and the captain ordered her to get them their breakfast. She cleaned off the top of the old cookstove and made pancakes for the men, in a way known now as mass production. The captain questioned grandma, "Where is your husband?" She said, "I don't know." He said, "If we find him, what do you want us to do with him, bring him to you or leave him where we find him?" Grandma replied, "Just leave him where you find him." The Captain turned to his men and said, "Don't any of you men dare lay a finger on this woman." Southern chivalry! That confederate officer probably had a praying mother at home.
The soldiers searched the place thoroughly for guns or anything worth taking. Aunt Florence Fee Cruickshank told that Grandma had some guns hidden so well the soldiers never found them.
