Sarah Elizabeth Cox Black finds a gun for her uncle

Before they moved to the field, when she was about 7 or 8 years old, she said her uncle came by one day and wanted to borrow her father’s gun. Neither mother nor father were at home, but being like most children that are not supposed to know where things like that were, she got the gun for him. A bear had been into his sheep and he told her he would bring the bear back when he shot it to show her. She thought that would be great. So in a while he brought the gun back and also the bear. He told her that it took three men to hold the horse while he put the bear on it. When her parents came home, they really scolded her about the gun. She said she never did know where it was hidden after that.
