SURRENDER PAPERS  of
John Marion O'Berry

Notice that John Marion just signed his mark, "X". 

Then, someone else wrote his name.  They recorded his eye color and hair color as "YELLOW" ! 

It is said that John Marion's wife later taught him how to read and write!

O'Berry must have a great sense of humor...allowing himself to be written up on the TALES of OLD BLANTON page and now, THIS.
