** Emily Lybrand ** //﻿ //

Emily Lybrand was born in 1811. She often talked about the tragic days of war. The ruthless Union army had no remorse. They took everything they could get while invading towns. The soldiers took every supply they could get their hands on. They would take the molasses, sauerkraut and other useful items and dump them on the ground. To make sure it could not be saved, soldiers threw dirt on top of it. The Union had no mercy and destroyed everything the South ever had. Lybrand lived to tell about it and shared her stories all around.
