From Page 501:
" ... One morning, very early, James Parks, Sr., was aroused from sleep before the usual time by a strange noise on the doorstep, and getting up as quietly as possible, he walked to the window ... and saw ... a large black bear lying there asleep.The settler got his rifle ... pulled the trigger.... in a few moments all was still; the bear was dead.The family ate bear steak for breakfast.The MAYFIELD BOYS - NICHOLAS and ELZY - in going from school saw a dark object cross the path a short distance in front of them ... Going further on, they were alarmed to see a large bear; and taking to their heels made for home at the top of their speed and there told what they had seen.A party of men started out, but did not succeed in coming up to his bearship. ... "
From Pages 502-503:
"Poll-Tax Payers of 1841

From Pages 506-507:"CHURCHES
"The old Vernal Baptist Church was one of the very first, if not the first organized in Monroe County.Meetings were held during the winter of 1817-1818, but probably no organization was effected until several years later.Among the first members were the families of James Parks, ... Leroy Mayfield, John Sanders, the Coffeys, ... and others.A rude log church was built in the Sanders neighborhood, in about 1826, and was used until about 1838, when a frame church, built farther north and within about three-forths of a mile from Ellettsville, took its place.The old log house was so open that in cold weather meetings were held in the residences of the members - principally in that of James Parks, who for many years was Deacon of the church and its most prominent member.Rev. James Chambers was the first minister, but within two or three years he was succeeded by Rev. Leroy Mayfield, who was pastor over thirty years. ..."
