Eugenia (nee) Dunlap Potts was the author of: The Song of Lancaster, Kentucky (1874), Historic Papers on the Causes of the Civil War (1909), Idle Hour Stories (1909), A Kentucky Girl in Dixie, Short Mountain Trail, Stories for Children, The Housekeepers' Olio, and Home Talks. "It is some years since I was station-master, telegraph- operator, baggage-agent and ticket seller at a little village near some valuable oil wells. The station-house was a little distance from the unpretentious thoroughfare that had grown up in a day, and my duties were so arduous that I had scarcely leisure for a weekly flitting to a certain mansion on the hill where dwelt Ellen Morris, my promised wife. In fact, it was with the hope of lessening the distance between us that I had under taken these quadruple duties. "
