They had resided in Anderson county until about the 30th of October last, when they started for a point fifty miles west of their late residence. They were overtaken by the fire when they were about and everything on or belonging to their wagon was destroyed. Three of the older children were driving the cattle, and succeeded in escaping this horrible end. The facts of this terrible death were communicated to the Bedford Inquirer.
