Today I added a transcription of Benjamin Tetes, lived to the age of 98 and gives an account of being ran out of Stoddard Co. by Southerners at the start of the Civil War.. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mostodd2/stod-settlers/stod-earlyset.htm Thanks to Benjamin's Great Granddaughter and an old newspaper dated 1906, we have his story.
