My great-grandfather,
Walter Jenny Jr. The following is part of an article that appeared in the Washington
Missourian May 25, 1939. The article is about my great, great grandmother,
Katherine Hoelscher who lived and died at 702 W 5th St, Washington,
MO.. She was 94 at that time and was 97 yrs old when she died. At the time
the article was written, Katherine "...has lived on Franklin County soil
longer than any other living today..." "Her parents left Germany
when she was a baby in arms and settled on a farm near Port Hudson." She
stated that "when she was a grown young lady, Price's Army came up the
Springfield Road and camped for the night near her fathers place. They
took her father away, but released him shortly afterwards. They also helped
themselves to chickens and that night at camp the soldiers had chicken
for supper. They left their half starved horses and rode away on the good
ones taken from farmers. The night the soldiers camped there, they had
a big fire and the soldiers sat around it. There was at least fifty men.
We women folks congregated in the neighborhood and wondered what was going
to happen to us. The men were all taken away." Submitted by: Richard
