In my notes, I have parents of Cora Belle Gage as Abby Gillespi and David Gage.

The Doniphan Massacre is a controversial subject. I don't want to offend anyone on the list but Mr. Burson and another man who is, I think, a Mr. Ponder, have been submitting articles to the Daily American Republic which is the newspaper published in Poplar Bluff, Missouri. These two men strongly disagree on whether or not the massacre really happened. Since I'm neither a Civil War buff nor have family ties to Doniphan I failed to keep the articles. I wish I had kept them now since it's a topic of discussion on the list. Anyone who is really interested could search the Daily American Republic's archives and find the articles. If I remember correctly, they have been published quite recently. Terry >Mr. Burson obviously knows his history, and I don't dispute anything he says in his review, >because I don't know otherwise.
