"I talked to my dad and grandma. They had never heard of the Hanging Tree on Snake Creek Rd. My grandparents lived on the road during the 40's and 50's.

"Grandma had lived there most of her life before marrying my grandpa. She lived on the old Austin Streeval place as a girl.

"Now, there is a legend about Snake Creek behind Bearwallow Church. If you go down there late at night, you can hear wagon wheels crossing the creek.

"Also at Christine RD., there is a well from which, supposedly, you can hear a baby screaming that has fallen into it.

"I'll keep asking about the tree.

"I am still working on a story about Pete McQueary. I have some great photos to share of him as a young and old man. Did you know he was also a amateur dentist? His anesthetic of choice was an ice cold 7-UP.

"I will keep working on it. I am back in college and have a hectic schedule, but I need to finish school so I can get a good paying job when I move to Columbia."
