1818
"The only written claim concerning Indians in Palmira was that of Mrs. Flora Tetrick when she wrote that her mother spoke of the Mason farm still being much in forest and the wild state in the early 1820s and that once when young Sarah(Mason) and her siblings were playing in the creek with a homemade wooden wagon, one of the children looked up and saw a number of Indians coming up the creek toward them. The children scampered up the bank to their home and pieces of the wagon were strewn all along the way." |
