Parker School House/Ghost Rider

One late winter afternoon when shadows were lengthening, several Eury kids were coming home from a long day at the old Parker School House in Montgomery County. They (Bertie, Clyde, Madie, and, I believe it was Cliff) laughed and talked as they walked the narrow dusty road to their home beside Eury Dam. Suddenly, they heard a horse galloping toward them at high speed. Thinking they would surely be run over if they stayed in the road, the kids scampered into the woods beside the road. After watching and waiting for what seemed an eternity, the hoofbeats ceased abruptly, and no horse or rider appeared. Those kids ran the rest of the way home and burst through the door all talking at once to tell mother Ida about the ghostly horse and rider.
