Coker Cemetery History #32 - November 2014by Bob Battaglia A story from the Civil War, somewhere in TennesseeKate Augustin Berry Harrison, the mother of W. W. (Bill) Harrison, was a small child during the Civil War.
Her father, Augustin Berry, a Confederate officer, had come home during the fighting (for an injury or an illness, I think). The
Union Army came through the area, pillaging and burning everything. They would go through the homes, destroying what they did not
take, tearing apart the feather beds and pouring molasses over them to ruin them. ***************************************************************
