• Notes

  Note 27 Almina (Alice) Hage who was a humpback, married John Terry, who had lost a leg in the Civil War, and used a wooden leg. He was the local constable, and a carpet weaver. Behind their home, which was next door to that of her sister, Cornelia Hage Otto, was a shop in which was installed a large carpet location. John Terry would make carpets on this loom from strips of rags sewn together end to end and rolled into balls, brought to him by customers. Operation of this loom was a fascinating thing for children to watch.
