I9760: Susan ALVIS

Notes

"Martha Brockinton, like most people of her day, was a little superstitious. The old lady believed in signs and warnings. On one occasion her son, William, went to Dickey's Bay hunting wild turkeys which were always numerous in SC. He left his horse at the edge of the bay and went in hoping to "roost" the turkeys. He came out after dark and mounted his horse for home, but had not proceeded far when his horse stopped short. Brockinton's story is that he saw by the bridle path, which he was traveling, what appeared to be a coffin with a white sheet placed over it. (It was that and up to my time in that country customary to put a sheet over the receptacle of the dead.) He determined to investigate and ascertain what this apparation was, but his horse refused to go nearer; he urged and kept urging his steed till a half circle was made, and he found himself on the home side of this strange object, when having become nearly as nervous as the horse, he gave up his efforts at discovery and proceeded on his way home. The next morning he returned for further investigation, found the semi-circular trail of the horse, but no impression that there had been any object on the grass at the center. There had been no impression made on the grass at that point. Upon giving his mother an account of his adventure of the night, the old lady replied, "Oh, William, some dreadful calamity is about to happen in our family". The next mail brought information of the death in Columbia of Burrows, her son-in-law. The occurance did not lessen the good old lady's belief in signs and wonders." ^[S1246]
