One of Daniel's buddies was shot, and Daniel put the spoon in the wounded soldier's mouth to keep him from swallowing his tongue as the bullet was removed. The teeth marks left a lasting impression on the spoon and on Daniel.

• Notes

  Daniel Green Rogers Kersh was born 16 November 1838 in Rankin County, Mississippi. He was the son of John Kersh, born 24 January 1814 in Orangeburg District, South Carolina and Mary Ann Rhodes, born 25 November 1818 in Georgia. Daniel served in the Civil War in a Mississippi Regiment and was wounded several times. On 14 May, 1861, he married Elizabeth E Lindsey Wilkinson Trigg, a widow with a small son, William Alexander Trigg. They were unhappy with the destruction of their home and lands caused by the terrible war years and decided (ca. 1870) to move to Texas and begin a new life. Daniel's uncles, Enos and Thomas Kersh also made the move and settled in Cherokee County Texas while Daniel and Elizabeth settled in Anderson County. Daniel farmed, was a wood cutter, owned a store, and joined a Masonic Lodge. The first six children of Daniel and Elizabeth were born in Mississippi, the others in Anderson County, Texas. On 14 November 1884, Elizabeth died and is buried at the Guiceland Cemetery near Salmon, Texas. Two of Elizabeth and Daniel's sons, Samuel and Charles, owned saloons in Palestine and raised race horses. After prohibition was passed, they moved away. Daniel married Mary Ann Johnson Holcomb, who was born 4 June 1855 in Claiborne Parish, Louisiana.
