Farmer Finds Sixty Nine Dollars Hidden Beside Kingeade Bridge
A Murphysboro man, William Creath, finds sixty nine dollars in a gulley near Kingeade bridge on a June day while en route to buy goods. The coins, dating back to 1720 and 1501, are believed to be part of a former trading post cache or an old stake for redeeming paper money. Nearby remains of a log house and Sand Ridge area add historical context to the find.
