Abstract:

This article is a re-print of an article found in the STATE's March, 1947 edition. Michael lived in a log cabin in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina during the Civil War. She made clay piped used by both Confederate and Federalist soldiers. Michael sold her pipes at 25 cents a dozen. She died at the age of 75, just seven years after Robert E. Lee's surrender.
