Well when they were singing the last sam my mothers uncle Thomas got up and went out very quitely and as soon as church was out Miss Jemima Parr walked out too real quick.

Her family never suspekted anything and they hung round talking to folks and shaking hands while Miss Jemima Parr and my mothers uncle Thomas were eloping outside.

And what do you suppose they eloped in.

Why in Miss Jemima Parrs fathers slay.

And when he went out they were gone and his slay was gone also his horse.
