The Yankee had a very peculiar gun; it had a red stock and a very bright barrel. Poovey threw his gun away and adopted the Yankee's prizing it very highly, and kept it for a long lime, finally losing it in a battle.


After the surrender, he settled on a farm two miles from Hickory, on which he has lived ever since and farmed with success. Besides farming, for thirty five years, he has run a brick yard, from which at least one half of the brick buildings in Hickory have been built.


He married a Miss Houck. To this union have been born eight children, four daughters and four sons. All are yet living. Mrs. Poovey is of a family of twelve children, and the youngest being 40 yoars old. The strange thing is, all these are living.
