Cadbury wishes to speak, so he shall......... the freedom of press.
The family farm was set afire and burning... during Bleeding Kansas... Cadbury was remembering.
Holier than thou, "Things are seldom as they seem" W.S. Gilbert:
Well it can certainly spread a long ways.. especially if spread thin like Jelly on Toast, pass the jar of Holier than thou........... please.
They say generally history is written by the victor.... so what may or may not be true entirely who knows?
There was black mold in the farm house.. it was terrible... there is a simple headstone nearby in the Cemetery with the name Patten Infant on it.
The truth is the other sibling children were playing with the baby and a bit rough and the dirty old cat scratched the baby and the child wound up getting a deep cut between his thumb and forefinger... well you know back in those days?... with all the good antibiotics and antiseptics the cut got infected perhaps in part due to all that black mold overhead on the ceiling... well the poor little fair haired guy succumbed...
The extremely distraught mother plead with her husband to tear the place down.. she wanted it Burned to the ground preferably and then enlarge the stone and concrete footprint and rebuild... well the story goes her two crazy cousins the nutty brothers were Pyro maniacs and did it for her... however the soldiers from the Nearby Military Fort got the blame... Don't take the words Free Kansas at face value... they mean quite the opposite... Free Kansas was in Support of Slavery...
The Abolitionists were not, thus the friction, Massacres were carried out... many just for the looting.... by hoodlum bands..parading as soldier impersonators.... and even Frank and Jesse James were labeled guerillas in the conflict.... the famous bad boys......
Traitors to both causes were all around the neck of the woods... Cadbury was a woman in that incarnation his feminine side....... so his now or her then wishes were actually met and carried out.. not exactly on the original terms in her mind... but by her giggling with glee at watching the fire they were actually her husbands idiot cousins they had just beat the band of the renegade soldiers that came and then the soldier boys caught the blame for burning the farm down to the ground... with no consequences anyway, but she had already lost the baby either way... the other neighbors managed to run off into the Corn Fields and hide.. as there homes were looted and then burned, no one is exactly sure where the Cray Cray cousins wound up.. .. .. goofy and his brother... that were giggling hysterically at fire, its a mystery,, later the Patten Family made there way back to Ohio... and borrowed
some money from family they had left behind to get a fresh start... So much for that chapter in Kansas....... Toto.
"Things are seldom as they seem"
Little more
