Mrs. Flora Perry
On April 28, 1909, death visited our neighborhood and took from us Mrs. Flora Perry at the advanced age of 87 years. She was the widow of Moses Perry who died some eight years ago. Her maiden name was Flora Cole, daughter of Thomas Cole, who served as a soldier in the war of 1812. She first married George Coulter, son of Charles Coulter.When first married they settled in the woods on Sugar Tree Knob, in Pocahontas County, where they began to clear them a farm and where they lived until the spring of 1861, when her husband volunteered as a Confederate soldier in Capt. Andy McNeill's Company, making a trip to Grafton. The Company could not be furnished arms, fell back to Huttonsville and disbanded. Mr. Coulter returned home for a few days then joined the Greenbrier Cavalry and remained in the Company under A.G. Ginkins until late in the fall of 1864 he was wounded, taken prisoner and died leaving his wife with six small children which she kept together on the mountain farm, working hard to support them until the year of 1867, she married Moses Perry. She made her home with her step-son, the Rev. J.H.Perry for several years before her death. Her remains were laid to rest by her second husband in a cemetery on Little Creek Greenbrier County.
