	Bears and Panthers and Sabine County Women This story from the 1800s, as told by the master storyteller, J.Frank Dobie, gives another reason not to mess with Sabine County women: "One winter day the White family on Bear Creek in Sabine County killed a hog, cut it up, put the meat in a wooden tub, and set it in a corner of the cabin, to be salted down and smoked on the morrow. Then the man went off with his dogs to join the neighbor on a hunt. That night while Mrs. White was chunking up the fire in the fireplace, the children covered up in bed and a quilt wrapped around herself to shut out the cold norther blowing through the chinks in the log walls, she heard a panther scream. She knew it had smelled the fresh meat. It prowled under the puncheon floor and then leaped up on the roof, every once in a while letting out a scream. Then it went to clawing on the logs and finally got a paw through a crack near the tub of meat and took out a piece. At this, Mrs. White threw her quilt over the tub, seized an axe standing just inside the door, and waited. In a little while the panther put its paw back through the crack for another piece of meat. She had the axe raised and now she came down with it, cutting the paw clean off. That panther did not bother around the cabin any more that night." ----- J. Frank Dobie, "Tales of Old-Time Texas" Posted by Ronad Barlow on his Facebook group, Farm Road 1 - From one end to the other. It is not known which Mrs. White this story relates to.

Photos

White, Mrs. William and Babies
From a grouping of four White family photos inherited from Ruth White McLemore of Sabine County, Texas. One of the photos had a mark of a New Orleans Photographer on the back. The four photos were labeled William White, Mrs. William White, Mrs. William White and Babies (Twins?), and Dr. Henry White 1878 (infancy photo). Rachel Habig confirmed these photos related to the family of Cornelia Felder and William T. White. Her direct ancestor is one of the twin girls, Ary White Martin. She and her sister Bessie were born in January 1877.
