Owner of a sulphur spring on Sand Lick wonders if it is site of killing? Also wants to find copy of the book "Jim" referred by Dr. Jones of Montpelier. She believes that all of the Sand Lick area is now private property, making permission of the landlords a necessity before visiting. About: The Unlamented Death of Sam C Lawrence local history by "Jim" By "Gina" I am excited to see this story! I have lived in the area for almost six years, and have tried to find out any history I could, without much luck. An elderly gentleman that lived on Sand Lick Road told me that a man was shot and robbed on my property long ago, and also that many people came to the sulphur spring for its healing abilities. I don't remember the gentleman's name who told me this, but he has since passed away. I wasn't sure whether to believe what he told me at the time, but I think this confirms it. I'm not 100% sure though, if it really is my property where the man in the story was killed, or possibly a neighbor's, but I do have a sulphur spring on my property. I am curious about the mention in the article of the Sand Lick Band on the veranda of the hotel-was there some sort of hotel in this area at the time? I also enjoyed the poem about the sulphur spring. Is there a book available by the author of the poem? I really dont know about the question of whether the poem was really about the spring water or distilled, I have heard alot of good things about the sulphur spring water but haven't tried it. It's hard enough to smell it for me, much less take a drink of it! And I saw that someone asked about directions-I believe all of the Sand Lick Creek is on private property, but in general it would be from either Sand Lick Road or Old Sulphur Springs RD off of Melson Ridge road. You can't see any of the creek from the road. I know the sulphur spring on my property is very far back and requires hiking or a four wheeler to get to it.
