1864 Garnett, Kansas Jane Doe

An elderly African American woman was part of a group of refugees that a man named John Horn rescued from Missouri in 1864. It was believed that she died from fright because she was afraid that Bushwacker would take her back to Missouri. She was living in a hut on what was called Thompson hill. She would die in Garnett Kansas and because she was without clothing she would be buried in John Horn's Army overcoat.
