Mr. Allen Blake, at that time in charge of the transfer of mail from non-terminal trains, but formerly the county tax assessor, remarked that the date of May 26th was a very important one in his life and he always looked for something significant to happen to him on that day.
He was born May 26, 1832, twenty-five years later on May 26, 1857, he was married; four years later on May 26, 1861 he enlisted in the Confederate Army in the Civil War and on May 26, 1865, he returned home from the war.
