Woman, 102, Recalls Long Tourney
San Antonio Express
Sad account describes the experiences of Mrs. Clarintha Draper, long-time resident of Pontotoc, Mason county, whose flight from Arkansas during the civil war holds a similarity to that of "Gone With the Wind’s" Scarlett O'Hara from Atlanta. Her story recounts when she and her husband, George Washington Draper, left their home in Texas and went to Arkansas. Soon the Civil War broke out, and Draper was caught stranded penniless in Arkansas with his family. Meanwhile the Union forces had burned Mrs. Draper's home and all of her possessions. This is the story of that event and of her life.
Mentions: Walden, Ark * Dawson Draper, of McCulloch county * William Eilers of Austin * W. Lee O'Daniel * Mrs. Hortense Ward, Miss Ruth Virginia Brazzil (now Mrs. Ruth Roome, postmaster at Bandera), and Miss Hattie L. Henenberg * Ruthersville, in Fayette county *

-
Those who became permanent settlers in the vicinity of Auburn, in 1815 or 1816, were James S. LEWIS, David MERACLE, Daniel DRAPER, Joseph HOWDESHELL, Samuel and James GIBSON, James CLARK, Joseph McCOY, Lawrence B. SITTON, Robert McNAIR, Thacker VIVION, and Ezekiel DOWNING. Some of these, as has already been noted, settled in the county before the war.
--------------
Daniel DRAPER was then living in Auburn; and shortly afterward Andrew COCHRAN and his brother kept a store at Fort Spring, just south of Auburn. The same year Henry WATTS, from Tennessee, settled near the site of Elsberry.
