Daniel Ellis describes the November 1863 Limestone Cove Massacre (or Bell Massacre, or Witcher's Massacre, as it is sometimes called) on pages 329-335 of his Thrilling Adventures of Daniel Ellis. This is also recalled by Samuel W. Scott and Samuel P. Angel on pp. 338-340 of their History of the Thirteenth Regiment, Tennessee Volunteer Cavalry, U.S.A. Ellis describes further Limestone Cove violence in March, 1864 (pp. 348-349), naming Ely and John Fry as victims. Scott and Angel address this on their p. 361. As a storyteller, do you have anything about Dan Ellis? Regards, Allen Captain Daniel Ellis Web Site http://www.nku.edu/~ellisa/danielellis ________________________________ From: G.

To All: I have read somewhere that some men were ambushed and killed near Limestone Cove? during the Civil War. I believe one was named Frye can anyone enlighten me further on this story? I believe a man named Albert Frye who died 1864 may have been one of these and I am in contact with a person who is possibly a descendent and a cousin of mine. Thanks for any Information, Discussion or Clues on this story. G.
