   There is a hill beside our house at Bridgetown and it is all heights and hollows. There was supposed to be a graveyard there long ago. Bones have also been dug up there but it is so far back we cannot right tell the true story about it. There is another field at Robbie Harron’s of Bridgetown. This field is full of bones. It was supposed to be a battle-field one time.
