IN July, 1867, J. P. Abernathy approached me in Pulaski and asked me if I would not like to join the K. K. K. I told him that I would. He appointed a night for me and Carson P. Reed, Ruff Workman, and James Dickson to meet him at Sharon Church, where he would initiate us. We went down into the creek bottom below the church, and he organized Den No. 4. That was the fourth den of the original K. K. K. That was organized. J. Polk Abernathy was Grand Cyclops, and I (r. J. Brunson) was elected Secretary. We then selected the best men in our district who wished to join us, and they were initiated. J. Polk Aber nathy served as Cyclops for twelve months, George Newbill for twelve months, and J fn. Brunson for twelve months.
