Skeletons Tell Tale of Trumbull Island Mystery
In 1926 Spencer Reporter account describes bones found two feet underground on high ground north of a creek feeding Trumbull Lake near Mike Smith's inlet. About a bushel of bones were dug up, with skulls and child remains, prompting speculation of Indian burning and mass grave. Local lore ties the finds to Old Red Brussels Trimbull and vanished horse thieves.
