Notes for Edda (Eddy) Shelby: "John Rufus Shelby and Mary Ann Deaton had a daughter named Eddy who sickened and died when twelve years old. Just before her death a flock of mourning doves came to the window of her room. Eddy asked that they be let in. The birds fanned her with their wings -- cooed and kissed her and stayed with her until death shooed them away--. Grandmother Shelby said she would have never believed it had she not seen it with her own eyes." (Source: "The Shelby Legends and Folk Stories" by Ernest Perry Bell) |
