Henry Gray True, Steven Nineva Harmon, Lorenzo Dow Owensby (named after the famous preacher of that era), and John Moses Bennett Jr. were their names. The year was 1861. Henry and Steven lived on farms on the north side of Dallas County in the area west of Tunas, Missouri. Henry was about thirty-six years old in 1861, and Steven was around sixty.
