PRATHER TURNER Unmindful of the wintry weather, Mts. China Bones, remarkably young for her 85 years, sits by the fire in her cozy little home, on the banks of .Mill . Creek and reminisces of by-gone days. Affectionately called "Grandma" I by 'her many friends, she relates innum erable stories of interesting hap penings of her arlylife.. .Every time. "Grandma" Bones sees a bee she smiles in recollection, for bees bring Civil war - memories and she had a way of her own to route soldiers. She did it with bees during the Civil, war.; ; . , It was when : she was 8 years old, that the bee incident occurred. Her father, William . Dunsmore, a soldier in the Civil war, was away fighting and China with her moth er and several younger children were home alone. She recalls t group of Civil war soldiers were banging on the door of our home in Tennessee bent on raid ing the house of food and cloth ing." Warned before hand that the soldiers were coming, China's mother had stored all food away and hidden the chickens and geese in the cellar, and several hives of bees that were China's prized property, were placed in the attic. The soldiers discovered the bees flying out the open attic window under the eves, de manded the honey. A ladder was placed under the window and two soldiers entered the at tic, returninr in a few minutes, each with a bee hive, and start ed back down the ladder. China rushing to the rescue of her valued bees, pulled the tilting ladder from its foundation and startled soldiers and angry bees ; mixed ""together on the ground. ; Suddenly there were no more soldiers. China was born January 25, 1858, -in Clayborne county, Tenn., and grew to womanhood there. She was married December 15, 1874, to William A. Bones from Virginia who died in 1921. The Bones family moved to Oregon in 1890, locating ; nearly 25 years ago at Turner.
