The Baxter House Fayetteville, Ark. Re: Capt E. B. Harrison and Sally Yeater Harrison..called "A Romance Born of a Battle" by Lila Harrison. Sally Yeater and her mother were staying in that house during the battle where Capt. E. B. Harrison stayed. "From the first Captain Harrison secretly admired this young southern girl. He liked the fearless way she rode a horse". She and her mother came from Oseola where her father's store ,while he was away serving in the Southern army was burned by Union sympathizers. Fearful of losing everything she concealed what she could of the family gold in a leather belt and they journeyed to Fayetteville on horseback. During the battle of Fayetteville, they were in the cellar where the cannon shot hit. The cannon ball was a fuse shell-----a heavy board partition checked its force and it dropped into a kettle of lye, extinguishing the fuse. Later they slipped away to the historic Jameson home in Fulton, Missouri and were married. Also later they built a house on the spot where the gold was buried. Captain Harrison took some of that gold and bought a diamond ring for their daughter Lydia, then grown to womanhood. The romantic history of the buried gold gave the jewel great significance to the young owner. Kay
