General Shelby, on his retreat from the Missouri raid, had
his winter quarters in the Baptist church near Richmond Cemetery. General Shelby's
body servant, a Negro named Henry Walls, came here with General Shelby and
remained after the war. He enjoyed relating his foraging expeditions and seemed to
feel it his duty to feed General Shelby well. He would always make a note of any
prosperous place as they passed while riding with General Shelby. Many nights
Henry spent in foraging. His favorite story was of finding a family taking their
evening meal, he peered through the window and spied a large boiled ham on the
table. He dashed into the room yelling, grabbed the ham
and was well on his way to camp when the surprised family realized what had
happened. General Shelby and his staff dined sumptuously on the ham, never asking
any questions.
