Research: "Before I left for the army during the 1st World War, Bennett came by to tell me
goodbye. He asked me to do him a favor. He said he was getting old and might
not be alive when I returned. If he was dead, would I see that his money was
taken care of? His children had disowned him and they did not deserve
anything, excepting Belle, a deaf daughter. He wanted Belle to have the
money. Would I dig it up and give it to her, excepting for a sum he named that
I was to keep for myself, because I was his best friend. I agreed to do this. He
told me to go to the north window of his house and to look at Sinai straight in
front of me, then go to the place I saw. A short distance to the right I would
find a flat rock beside a service bush where the ground hogs had dug. In a
crevice of this rock I would find a wagon bolen (iron part of the axle that the
wheel turns on). Some 30 to 40 feet northeast of this place $20,000 was buried
securely under a big rock.
When I returned from the war Bennett was dead. I spent days searching but
never so much as located the wagon bolen. I knew he had that much money
and that it was hid. I knew he would not mislead me. I doubted if he ever told
anyone else where it was, and never knew of anyone else searching near the
place he described. Folks tore the house apart and dug all around it. To the
best of my knowledge they found a total of about $1100, all in small gold
pieces and silver."
