    Wm. Ruel Bain - May 28, 1999
    I attended the Rodgers Reunion near Waco earlier this month and visited with several of the cousins including Edwin Brownlow. Edwin was told Rosilla Sanders Bain was Choctaw. He was asked if this could have meant Rosilla's mother in law, Mary Boland, and he said he was certain he had been told it was Rosilla that was Indian.
    Edwin also told this story about Peter during the war. Because he was a good shot Peter was in charge of hunting for food for the 12 men in his unit. One day he only killed 11 squirrels and shot a wood rat to make up the difference in what was needed. He dressed the rat like the squirrels and put it with the rest of the meat. According to Edwin none of the others knew they may have eaten rat. My Grandfather, Oscar, hunted with Peter many times in Arkansas and Oklahoma. In one of the few stories he told us about Peter, he said Peter would be annoyed if you didn't hit the squirrel in the eye because you were ruining some of the meat. Once while they were hunting west of Valliant they shot a squirrel that fell into a pool or creek below the tree. This was winter but Peter had Grandpa go in and get the squirrel.
    In one of Peter's visits to his daughter's family at Waco one of the girls cooking breakfast for Peter was worried about how to cook his eggs. He told them if they cooked them too hard he would put butter on them to soften them, and if they cooked them too soft he would put butter on them to harden them. I think he liked butter on his eggs.
