Anniston Star August 30, 1901
On her way from South Carolina to her home in Clay County, Ala., a comely young 
woman, poorly dressed and with two little children was found by a policeman 
yesterday morning, on the front steps, of a deserted house near Greenberry 
Avenue, where she had stopped to rest. 
Bicycle Officer Stanley rode past the deserted cottage on his wheel and on the 
front steps and stopped. "What is it ma'am," he asked, "are you in trouble?" It 
was apathetic, poverty-stricken little group the young mother and her little 
ones.
"No, she said "I'm waiting for my husband, he has gone down into the city to 
mail some letters". 
 "Who is he" asked the officer. 
"His name's Turner". "We're on our way from our old home in Cherokee County, 
S.C., to Clay County Ala., where my people live". 
A little pushcart in which were a few poor belongings was all they had. In this 
the little ones rode, and mother and father tramped afoot over the rough roads 
taking turn about pushing the little cart.
