  • The Census That Never Existed: Sallow Lane's Vanished Residents Revealed

    The Census That Never Existed: Sallow Lane's Vanished Residents Revealed

    The Census That Never Existed: Sallow Lane's Vanished Residents Revealed

    A dog unearthed a damp, 120-year-old census sheet naming twelve people who, according to every Dunmore record, had never existed - and one name disappears entirely after a court ordered “removal.” What happened to the keeper, Amy Casey, and why does every map, deed, and survey act as if Sallow Lane never was?

    In this episode, you’ll hear how a volunteer records steward followed a single manuscript page into library stacks, court dockets, and parish registers to trace a missing street and its people - and why the county archives contain deliberate silences that stop when Amy Casey’s fate begins.

    Person: Amy Casey
    Date: December 1891
    Location: Dunmore, hill-country Virginia
    Event: court docket entry - matter of unlicensed habitation and public nuisance
    Record: baptismal register entry noting “formerly of Sallow Lane, now dispersed”

    - A dog named Copper retrieved the fragile census sheet from a spicebush on December 14, 2011.
    - Conservator dated the paper to the 1880s-1890s and the sheet itself is dated December 1891.
    - The sheet lists twelve people at one address; eleven later appear in an Episcopal baptism in January 1892.
    - Circuit court docket from December 1891 names Judge Walter Fosse and records the outcome “Matter resolved by removal.”
    - The courthouse case file was destroyed in a 1923 annex fire; no deed, plat, or census schedule in county records lists Sallow Lane.

  • They Sealed Her Silence: The Beeswax Jar at Briar Well

    They Sealed Her Silence: The Beeswax Jar at Briar Well

    They Sealed Her Silence: The Beeswax Jar at Briar Well

    A sealed beeswax jar sat upright on a limestone shelf at the bottom of Briar Well, containing a Victorian portrait and a note that read, "She did not go willingly." Who placed that jar, why choose the well as a confession, and what does a falsified death certificate tell us about a century-old disappearance?

    In this episode, we follow the discovery at Pickett Creek and the records it unearthed, tracing how a town's files, a probate document, and a single jar reopened a case the community had long treated as settled. Can old paperwork and a hidden message finally answer what happened to Jessica Petersen?

    Person: Jessica Petersen
    Date: November 15, 1900
    Location: Briar Well, Pickett Creek, Dellford, Missouri
    Status: Body recovered; probate certified as natural causes
    Investigator: Sharon Green

    - The jar was found upright on a limestone shelf inside Briar Well on November 14, 2011, about fifteen feet from Pickett Creek.
    - The sealed lid was beeswax consistent with craft supplies from the early 2010s and contained a formal Victorian portrait and a handwritten note reading "She did not go willingly."
    - The portrait was identified as Jessica Petersen using an 1896 First Lutheran Church directory group photograph with handwritten captions.
    - Jessica Petersen's probate filing dated November 1900 lists cause of death as natural causes and bears a physician's signature line signed by Carl Doerr, who was not a physician.
    - Carl Doerr also signed the probate filing as estate administrator, resulting in his name appearing in both the physician certification and the administrator role.

  • The Judge's Portrait That Refuses to Look Back: Crale's Secret

    The Judge's Portrait That Refuses to Look Back: Crale's Secret
    Jul 25 2026
    The Judge's Portrait That Refuses to Look Back: Crale's Secret

    A cramped courthouse corridor has held a silent oddity for more than fifty years: a judge’s portrait turned to the wall, its brass plate naming HON. EDGAR PRATT - PELL COUNTY COURT OF COMMON PLEAS - 1922-1931, while ten other judges face the hall. Why was the canvas reversed in 1971, and how does a 1925 tenant-farmer’s death, a missing family, and a twenty-two-year-old woman who walked into court alone tie to a portrait that refuses to look back?

    In this episode, we follow the records and the few surviving documents that trace a disputed tenancy, a one-day 1929 court hearing, a private October 9, 1930, meeting with Judge Pratt, and a public letter to the Crale Courier that preceded a disappearance. What happened in the courthouse room that day, and why did the town later hang Pratt’s portrait facing the wall?

    Person: Teresa McCarthy
    Date: October 9, 1930
    Location: Pell County Court of Common Pleas, Crale Township Courthouse
    Event: One-day hearing filed February 1929; judge ruled 1917 letter non-binding
    Document: Letter to the Crale Courier published October 1930

    - Eugene McCarthy leased the forty-acre farm from Howard Velt beginning in 1917.
    - Eugene McCarthy died in the winter of 1925, leaving his family and the 1917 letter.
    - Teresa McCarthy filed a complaint in February 1929 representing herself; Judge Edgar Pratt ruled the 1917 letter non-binding.
    - On October 9, 1930, Teresa met Judge Pratt in a meeting logged as "civil dispute resolved without action" and later published a letter in the Crale Courier.
    - Judge Edgar Pratt’s portrait was hung in the south corridor in 1932 and faced the wall from 1971 until questioned in spring 2019.
