grandmother's Bible (Henrietta Edwards Eubanks). As you know Henrietta was
John B's daughter-in-law. Henrietta shows his full name as John Burns Eubanks.

War, was Confederate. He was captured and spent most of the war in prison camp. I can remember
him one time, he came to see us. He had white hair, beard and blue eyes. He shot a squirrel
out of a big tree by the spring where we got water. It fell on a big rock and he helped me
up on it so could get the squirrel.
"And I remember when he died not long after. He was with Aunt Azzie, had gone out rabbit
hunting, had sat down and leaned back up against a tree. Uncle Alex, his half brother, went
to fix some fence(on)horseback. The horse came to the house. Aunt Jossie called Babe (Isaac),
