She was Lydia Lewis, daughter of George W. and Lettie Mills Lewis. An elaborate wedding supper was prepared at the home of George W. Lewis. The Confederates had heard of this and went to the home of Mr. Lewis thinking they might capture Ben Johnson. News of their coming had already reached the Lewis home, and Johnson without the supper, made his escape, as the women folks hurriedly hid his the supper in the "loft", as the second story was called in those days. The Confederate force, under command .of Captain "Tuck" Smith, arrived as expected and proceeded to eat what they thought was the wedding supper. Captain Smith went out of his way to thank Mrs. Lewis, Mrs. B. F. Ramey and the bride for the "good supper" they had prepared, to be told that the real supper had been hidden from them!"
