An Earnest Criterion Club Meeting and a Peculiar Will

A terse Criterion club gathering after May 1887 reveals subdued tone and a tale of a deceased uncle who left a £200 debt payment to a church, while his nephews contested a £2500 estate. The dying man’s will aimed to fund church debt clearance, triggering family strife and a guard at the grave as dawn darkens over a peculiar endowment.

Graveyard Ghost and a Church Debt Robbery

A man recalls a haunted night when two graveyard watchers claimed a white figure rose from Jason Horn’s grave. A missing $2,000 left in Horn’s coffin spurred panic, a girl appeared from the grave, and the money was never recovered. The tale ends with a Montana voyage and unanswered questions about the robbed church fund.
