Text:   "At Creal Springs, (Williamson County), Illinois, we found an oven with the following inscription: 'In this oven food was cooked for the wounded soldiers, who fell in the Battle of Cowpens, South Carolina, January 17,1781.' It belonged to Thomas and Mary Jordan, who Lived one mile from the said battlefield at that date and rendered assistance in caring for the wounded and suffering martyrs on that occasion. At present it belongs to Mary A. Horton, granddaughter of said Thomas and Mary Jordan, who desires it be preserved as a memorial and in honor of those who sacrificed their lives upon the altar of our country for liberty."
