There is Somebody Dead in There in the Turre Street House
A reader recalls a neighbors house with a dead-sounding rumor carried by a boy and a lingering sorrow as a child dies and a mother mourns at Mount Hope. The piece contemplates death, faith, and the promise that in heaven there will be no more death. It notes other brief items: a living frog found in a stomach and a Georgia slave dying at Hogansville with memory intact, plus a quotation on Truth Time and Humility.
