  2. Father Cowley

    Father Cowley. 4-4-'38
    On the morning that Father Cowley was found dead in his cave, when the two men that were taking him his breakfast were coming near the cave, they saw about a million lights around the cave. But when they got to the cave, there was only the one small candle burning. It was early morning and still dark.
