A brief summary of Francis Gammons’s narrative was given to the field-worker by Francis Toney, who was living at 815 [South?] Ebright Street in Munde at the time of the interview. Francis Gammons was born in 1835 on a tobacco plantation near Gallatin, Tennessee, and at the age of ninety-six she died at her home on East Jackson Street in Muncie. According to Ms. Toney, Francis Gammons said that “on the average” slaves were treated as well as could be expected on the plantation. Mrs. Gammons’s husband, Wesley Gammons, ran away from the plantation and joined the Union Army during the Civil War. Ms. Toney said, “He wanted to be free and declared that he was willing to take his share in securing this freedom, which he did by fighting for the Union.” When the Gammonses were set free, they walked to Gallatin, where they were remarried, for they feared they might lose their children if they were not legally married. Francis and Wesley Gammons lived in various southern communities until 1881, when they moved to Muncie. Wesley, a hod carrier, died a few months after the move.
