• Notes

  During the Civil War, John Aaron Prather was gone from home for long periods, fighting Mo. Red Legs (Bushwackers). Ther were attempting to keep these renegades from thir homes, but as in the case of his father and uncle austin Prater, they were not always successful. During these periods his wife and his children had not only the household to take care of, but the farm as well. As a result, his wife's health was broken.
