- As always in time of war, party feeling ran high; even the children were infected by it. There was an irascible little man by the name of Sturdevant whose temper sometimes got the better of his judgment. One morning he rode to our house and called loudly for my father. Of course, we children followed father to the door. Mr. Sturdevant said that he and his son, Bill, had been insulted by a boy calling them “Secesh.”

Alternative routes in and out of De Soto, even its 1936 predecessor, are narrow, hilly and would add miles and minutes to many trips to frequent destinations. Any extra traffic on them would require improvement — a burden that would probably fall mostly on local governments.
