Info from Dickson Co Cem Records-- Dr Claude H Sizemore, died July 5 1927 --was on a fishing trip when stricken. Dr Clarence Sizemore age 75, died Dec 29 1943 St. Louis--native of Houston Co. Br. to Dr Claude, Mother Sally Sizemore--established Dickson Drug Co. Md Rose Mueller. Sallie Nesbitt Sizemore 78, died Apr 1 1912, native of Dickson Co, great niece of Samuel McAdoo, Cumberland Presbyterian, married Dr. R. H. Sizemore. He died in Erin on July 14 1879. Son Eugene A died in infancy, 1-19-1912. 2nd obit Mrs Sallie A Sizemore died Apr 1 1912 at 78-3-27.Confederate soldiers were her pallbearers. At one time she passed between the Union and Confederate lines while under fire, with a looking glass under her arm, playing the citzen of the neighborhood. At another time on hearing of the hunger of an almost starving rebel, she determined to get some potatoes nearby and though the army on both sides were in battle array she passed shomehow the pickets, got the potatoes and returned, and was reprimanded by her husband for taking such risks. Her simple reply was, I got the potatoes. At another time at the point of a pistol she forced a horsethief to put back her horse in the stable, warning him that to carry out his orders would result in his death. She was taken to Atlanta while the city was being shelled, but made her escape in a meat car. In a difficulty between a Federal officer and her husband, she threw herself between them to save her husband from the drawn sword in the officer's hand. She defied the officer and called him a coward. She assisted her husband in dissecting, often standing in heaps of limbs all around her, she holding the tallow candle, the only light available, while her husband was amputating and otherwise attendin the solders. She must have been a fiesty lady. Claude, wife Jessie Hooper, their son Claude and daughter in law, Clara---Clarence and Sallie are all buried in the Union Cem.
