At Taylorsville, Mississippi, there is an indication of an Indian battlefield
because of the large number of arrowheads found here. There is
a record of the transfer of this section of land to Unobee, an Indian of the
Choctaw Nation, as made in the treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek.
It is generally believed that the grave on the elementary school yard is
that of Gentle South Wind, a young Indian girl who was killed by her father
Unobee in a fierce brawl. Her youth and beauty made her fate especially
pitiable. White settlers marked her grave by a hackberry bush. In May of
1965, Chapter members held a memorial service at the gravesite and placed
a granite marker there in her memory.
Note: There have been many different spellings of this name, among them, Onubee, Unabba, Annabbe, Nnobbe, but it is believed that Unobee is correct.
