It took three weeks to make the round trip, though only two days to go down. A span of horses had quarters on the boat, and walked on the edge of the water on the way back. Frances Amelia had the first treadle sewing machine, and the neighbors came for miles to sew on it. When she married, her parents gave her a cow, a heifer, and six sheep, besides bedding, etc. Their daughter, Ada Harriet Giberson, married William Henry Dolman.
