From The Family Alwood by Terry Klaus, June 1991: JOHN C. FREEMONT ALWOOD sometimes known as 'Monty' was born in Cass City.Michigan on September 24, 1863. As a young child his family would move toCoffee County Tennessee. As a young man of 22 years, he took the hintfrom a friend to go over to the neighboring farm and check out the cuteyoung girl. Things haven't changed in all these years, he did just that,and it was a 15 year old Virginia Kate Walters who caught his fancy andshe would in fact say "I do" on November 1, 1885, in Goose Pond. GoosePond no longer exists, but the marriage lasted for fifty-one years."Jennie" as she was always known. came from Pennsylvania, born August 9,1869. Together Monty and Jennie raised eight children. For the most partof their early years they were living in the area of Manchester,Tennessee. In family stories, recalled by their youngest son, Homer, thetimes in Tennessee were hard on everyone, in fact the Indians even cameto the house asking for food. The Goose Pond and Manchester areas werenot highly populated, but some of the mountain people had been there formany years. When Will, the older brother of Monty, built a lumber mill inthe Deep Cove area, they had some trouble with those mountain men and arail road section gang also working in the same area. It seems these mendid not take to both white men and Negroes working at the mill. Therewere rumors around that they planned some sort of trouble, and Montydidn't wish any part of it. but that Christmas Eve they had a party goingon at their home and white mill workers and their families were there.The Negroes lived in a bunk house near the corn patch, and kept watch fortrouble. One lone man came to the door, and being slightly drunk, said hecould lick em all, but before he was given the chance he was picked up bya couple of the men and pitched head first out the door, but not beforehe vowed to come back with a gang. The party broke up. leaving Monty andhis family to fend for themselves against the intruders. When theyreturned the Negroes made a run for the corn patch and hid, the mill haddamage to it, tools and saws thrown into the creek, and so was the railgangs boss who tried to stop them, and he almost died of pneumonia. Thebunk house was torn up, but Monty had loyal workers and no one ran awayfor long. When Will came into town for the holidays, and found out aboutthe trouble, he notified the railroad company and they sent the managerout and he fired the whole section gang. To understand just how bad itwas to be in coming months, those same men actually asked for jobs at themill, as work was hard to find. |
