So one evenin' an ole white 'oman come fum de Sound, an' she tole us that a sperit had done tole her whey some money was buried; an' she wanted us to come down dere and dig it up; she couldn't dig for it, but she knowed whey 'twas de sperit had tole her. So we got togedder and made a club to go down three of us. De place was on Wrightsville Sound, not fur from Mr. Wright's place.
"There are quite a few old persons around Woodson that can give you information. But that is in Saline County, I think. Sweet Home, Wrightsville, Toltec all of them have a few old colored persons on the farm that was here in slavery times." Interviewer's Comment Reeves' story was taken because of his clear memories of his parents and grandparents.
At Wrightsville we met a woman with whom we were before acquainted, and our meeting was very gratifying. We there inclined to halt for a time. I was not used to living in town, and preferred a home in the country; so to the country we decided to go. After resting for four days, we started towards Lancaster to try to procure work.
We were then near enough to have killed them, concealed as we were by the darkness; but we permitted them to pass unmolested, and went on to Wrightsville that night. The next morning we arrived at Columbia before it was light, and fortunately without crossing the bridge, for we were taken over in a boat.
