George and Anita Ross of Greenwood have loaned the Museum Confederate Currency for display. The money belonged to Mrs Ross's great grandfather, Marcus Hogan, pioneer settler of Franklin County. Hogan Township near Altus was named for him. During the Civil War Mr. Hogan was approached by bushwhackers who demanded money. Whne he did not provide it, they hanged him. His family cut the rope. He survived and lived to be 96 years old.
Many thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Ross for sharing their artifacts and family story.
