Il, During the war. a school teacher,
residing in Spencer county, Indiana,
was drafted into the service. When
he received the information he was
engaged in teaching q school in d small
frame school house. He them and
there declared to his scholars that if
he went into the army and lost his
life he would return and haunt said
school, house. 81 He went, and sure
enough he fell in an engagements
During a session of school in said
house for many days a voice, which
was recognized, as said teachers by
those who knew him, was distinctly
heard repeating letters and words af
ter the scholars as they recited. 1t
seemed to be in the wall, and to move
from one part of the house to another.
Many who came to witness the same,
beside the school, can testifyi,to the
truth thereof 2di Tof h9hH@qZe 81.
