Mary Francis Foreman Dunkle was a small but strong woman. She gave birth to 11 children, all of whom survived to adulthood. In 1977 Cynthia Dunkle Gill recounted some stories about her grandmother. Mary Francis was very kind and nice to everyone, the opposite of her husband Benson. When she was quite elderly, she rode a horse from their farm on Dunkle Creek, into McArthur to have her teeth pulled. She could quote endlessly the bible as if she had the entire book memorized. Around the end of the Civil War, it got so dark during the middle of the day, that the cows started coming in from the field, thinking it was night. The bible verses must have been streaming from Mary Francis. The Dunkles thought the end times were upon them. They weren't.
